KUNG FU PANDA 2!!!!!!!!
It was awesome, as good, no, even better then the first one. Not to put the first one down any -- it's still a cool movie and I really really like it still -- but the second one more then lived up to its predecessor. It was hilariously funny (for those who have seen it already the dragon was probably my favorite part. HA!) but it also had a good solid story (which I also love, wanting to be a writer and all). All in all I really loved it. Enough that when it comes out on dvd I want to sit down and have a kung fu panda marathon, and if they add a third then when that one comes out I'll have an even longer marathon. Wee! (What? It's not like I usually have something better to do on Saturdays.)
Plus, Po is awesome, a dork, but he's awesome at it. n_n
Now, I will admit I was a little unsure at first when it started if it would be just as good as the original, but my doubts were quickly shoved away. They started with another narrated story (although sadly it was not done by Po u.u, he tells funny stories) which I really did like to introduce their new bad guy -- a peacock of all things (who knew such pretty birds could be evil?) If there's one thing these writers can do its make good bad guys. No wait, that's too much of a contradiction. Okay, wait, here we go; they are really good at making bad guys. Yeah, that's it. Lord Shen was not just evil, he was crazy evil (which I usually think makes the best bad guys because crazy = scary simply cuz you just don't know what they're going to do, or in Shen's case, when they're going to stop their reign of absolute terror.)
Now some people may not think a vain, frilly bird with a freakishly large tail will make a decent bad guy. Well they'd be wrong. Maybe it's just because I like peacocks, or maybe it's because when they scream it sounds like a woman being horrifically murdered (they can frighteningly enough) but peacocks can be scary. Uber scary. Terrifying even. More so if they're shock white with red markings that look like eyes that're watching you (shiver) that want to take over all of china because they're absolutely crazy. Plus it was really cool to see him fight with his tail. That was just really, really, cool. Like fighting with a fan (which is in fact possible and something I want to learn eventually).
Now this is sort of funny, not funny ha-ha, but funny all the same. When I was watching the first movie I remember thinking to myself, "You know self, I like Shifu and all, but I want to know more about the furious five too. Especially Tigress, because I really like tigers and she's pretty cool, a bit mean sometimes, but she managed to restrain herself from hurting Po too much." Well guess what? Dreamworks must have read my mind (o.O kinda freaky now that I think about it) because that's pretty much what happened. Now the downside of that is it meant less time with Shifu (what kind of animal is he anyway? I mean seriously. All I know is that he's furry and he has ears like soup bowls.) however they managed to sort out most of their issues in the first movie. Adding anymore stress between them and there will no longer be a panda in Kung Fu Panda. Just Shifu going, "Po? Who's Po?" as he finishes patting down the last shovelfuls of dirt on a new mysterious, and rather large, mound of dirt. If Shifu cracked that badly I think I could guess who the new villain would be...
But I highly doubt that would happen. Mainly because Shifu took a step back in this one, however I did think that what lines he had were quite funny. So it's a necessary relapse I suppose. Anyway, they teased me so much with Tigress's back story that I had little attention to spare for the old master (whatever sort of fuzz ball he may be). The brats! They didn't really tell us anything about Tigress's history, only that she had one. , Aghhh....tell me soon! I want to know. I mean you can't just have Tigress hug Po and then not tell us why! Oh, oops, some of you might not have seen this yet...I'll have to remember to put that spoilers warning before everything else...hmmm...
Right, so that was long and rambly. I guess I do that so I don't forget anything I'm trying to say. I hope that this is interesting to someone out there. If not I guess it doesn't matter. I wrote this just as much for the sake of writing what I thought without interruption as much to share what I found with someone else.
Now! For something purely fun! My all time favorite line of the movie. But warning! Warning! If you haven't seen the movie and don't want to know too much about what's in it then just skip to the end or finish reading altogether. Although I don't believe it'll be too much of a surprise to anyone out there. Anyway...
A Very Troubled Po: I just found out that my dad, might not really be my dad...
A Somewhat Confused Tigress: Your dad...the goose?
Po nods (possibly says something I don't remember)
An Even More Confused Tigress: Ah and this...surprises you.
An Even More Confused Tigress: Ah and this...surprises you.
HA HA HA! Po is great. :3 And now a really cool picture I found, just because its cool...
Right then, I encourage everyone who wants to to go see the movie. I heard that Dreamworks is making like, four more (could be good or bad, but it'll be spectacular if all the others are like this one :) So go! Go and buy tickets to make them make more! But only make good ones! Like this one! This one was way good! And don't wait another three years to do it! Uh, please. Sorry, that was supposed to be please make more soon. Right then, that's enough exclamation points for one day.
Tschau! (Hee, sorry, had to add one more in there)

Spice and Wolf stars Holo and LawrenceI started Gurren Lagann too. It's so weird, but in a ridiculously funny way. I really like Simon, he's sweet, and Kamina and Yoko make me laugh. Goofy idiots. I thought for sure it had been made in like the 90's, the art looked so much like Slayers or even a little bit like Dragonball, but no. It was made in 2007! Still, I want to know what happens now, even if there are too many dirtyish jokes and too little female clothes.
Oh what else looked good, that Black Butler show looked interesting in an xxxHolic sort of way (I saw that on there too and will need to find time to watch it since the manga certainly caught my attention), um...Aquarion, Full Metal Panic, Trigun, Trinity Blood, Gun x Sword, X, Fullmetal Alchemist (I've seen some of that already and Al's voice does not sound like a 14 year old boy if you ask me), Shuffle!, Fruits Basket (again read the manga although I never finished it...), Darker then Black, D. Gray-man, Vandread (looks like it could be really stupid sort of funny), Moribito, Ghost Hound, Kaze no Stigma (looks very promising with its magical powers and all that), possibly Soul Eater and Mushi-Shi and Birdy as well, uh...oh Dragonaut, The Sacred Blacksmith, Devil May Cry or Blood + (if I'm feeling a bit blood thirsty I suppose). Strike Witches, Negima, and Slayers (I absolutely love them! Gotta have my Lina Inverse after all) for silliness. I saw they have the entire Inuyasha series now for streaming (Finally!). Yeesh I think I must have listed the whole playlist but they all look so interesting in their own way. Sigh, and those were just the streaming ones, I've put the dvds for Rurouni Kenshin (one of my three grandfathers of anime alongside Inuyasha and Yu Yu Hakusho) and Air in my playlist. Gah, I suppose it's a good thing I have a lot of painting to do in the near future. Now how do I even go about deciding what to watch first?
Oh oh oh! Clannad first! Clannad first! I watched the first two episodes and fell in in love (although a bit passively if that makes sense). I really like the characters and the music and it was so very calm. I'm sensing a good love story ahead ~wiggles eyebrows excitedly~. It's all so exciting.
Oh yeah, I've got to remember to tell you guys about the best movie (not anime) in the world tomorrow. I absolutely LOVED IT. But now its late and I don't think I could muster up the excitement necessary for such an amazing movie. I haven't been getting to bed early enough (like you can't tell from the time stamp on this thing). Anyway to bed with all of you! What are you doing reading this stuff so late at night. I may have too much to do and too many do dates sneaking up on me but that's no excuse for you. Do as I say not as I do sort of thing.
~Yawn~ Ugh, it's too late for me to be berating strangers. Good night. And drop me a comment if you think of anymore really good animes! I'm open to suggestions. Just nothing too gross or naked if you please, I'm not really into all the explicit blood and gore. It freaks me out when it surprises me on tv. I feel like I've been ambushed or spying or something. Creepy...
Ah great now I'm rambling. Good night now and I mean it. Good night.
Tschau,
Rose
~Yawn~ Sleepy, sleepy, sleepy, sleepy...

Ahem I mean - so exciting. ;3
Hee I'm so hyped up. I've never beaten a game all by my lonesome before. Usually I have to get my younger brother to battle the bosses because they frustrate and confound me endlessly. I despise the lot of them. Stinkers always end up refusing to die. Ugh.
But not this time! I beat that dastardly Ansem all by myself! Oh yeah! Go me! Hooray!
But man I never thought bosses lasted through like ten fight. Yeesh. It was getting ridiculous by the end of it. Oh but the ending was so sad. Sora has to go save Riku and King Mickey (ha ha, that still makes me laugh. Mickey is so awesome) while Kairi is left on the newly restored island. Poor Kairi. If something goes wrong she'll never see Sora again. Sniff. Sad. You go through all that trouble to save her and in the end she just gets left behind. Sigh.
But still. It was good. Great game. Awesome game. Game I could actually win! Yeah me!
And my grandparents were nice enough to give me KH II and Re: Chain of Memories for Christmas so i can start the next one tomorrow. But for right now I'm going to enjoy my winning high tonight. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!
Sigh, oh i feel so good...
Tschau,

But yeah I've never been into a game this much before in my life. Up until now all I could manage was Mario Kart for the N64 that I played when I was like seven and Super Smash Bros. because all I have to do is push buttons as fast as I can (It's fun to play when you don't know what you're doing!) It's always been my brother that spent the weekend clobbering bosses and such. But I really like this game. Enough that I might be asking for the next one for Christmas...
But anyhow, I made it to the one world that I wanted so desperately to see that i could quit the game quite happily when I was through with it (even though I probably won't until I've finished the whole story) -- ATLANTICA!!!! Yeah! Hooray! I love the Little Mermaid. It was my favorite movie of all time when I was little. So yeah! I'm extremely happy.
But they turned Simba into a rock! Ooo I'm still mad at them for that.
Of course now I want to re-watch all those Disney movies but my family only has them on VHS (I can't believe how outdated those things seem now) but I guess that's what yahoo is for after all.
Oh well, I'm tired and have school tomorrow. Time for bed. But there was one more thing I wanted to say, um, what was it...? Oh yeah!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!!
Night,
Rose
P.S. - My ten year old sister was Sailor Moon for Halloween with the hair buns and everything! So cute! And I got to carve a pumpkin and eat its seedy insides. They were good. ;3

I posted a Slayers short story called In Other Words yesterday on fanfiction.net and already i got a review. I got another one for my latest chapter of After Armageddon too! Yeah! It's so nice to have two reviews and an author alert waiting in your inbox when you wake up. I wish it was like that every morning, but sadly it's not. Still, yeah!!!
