TV Blog - America's Best Dance Crew - Finale
Hey all, So Sunday crowned We Are Heroes as Season 4 Winners. Congratulations! Although the rage reaction had Afroborike won would’ve been awesome.
Now it’s no surprise that this season was pretty weak overall. Watching this past season brewed things that fell short this time around, and possible ideas to switch it up.
1) Extend Voting Times - This is possibly the biggest thing they...

Shonen Monday - September 28, 2009
Part two of what I published on Friday. So if you were curious, the wedding weekend was a blast! No one objected, which is always a good thing. It was a touching ceremony. The reception afterwards was crazy fun. Is “off the hook” too 90s early 2000s? What do you youngsters say nowadays? Anyways, Beelzebub is absent this week. Not exactly sure why. And since Hajime no Ippo was included...

Shonen Friday - September 25, 2009
Pre-wedding edition. Basically, I’ll be reviewing the two manga’s I missed last week: Hajime no Ippo and Beelzebub. Also, the groups scanslating Psyren have caught up again, so chapter 87 is reviewed here as well. It looks like the shonen magazine that puts out History’s Strongest Disciple Kenichi and Fairy Tail are taking a break this week, as both of those chapters are late...

Shonen Sunday - September 20, 2009
So with a scheduled return, a few issues missing this week. Beelzebub has yet to be scanned, and we had Ippo early for the past few weeks, so it was bound to fall back to normal eventually. Also, next weekend I’m attending the wedding of two of my best friends (yes, they’re marrying each other). So congrats to the happy couple! Shonen Weekend will most likely be late. I’ll...

Top 7 Things We Want in 'How I Met Your Mother'...
7. Keep Marshall’s hair short please. Kthxbai.
6. No one in the main cast gets pregnant - I think it would really kill the flow of the series introducing a new character like that. Lily nearly scared me in the finale.
5. When the heck are we gonna meet Lily’s family? There hasn’t been a single episode where we get to meet them.
4. Let’s see “Bump Girl”...

TV Blog - America's Best Dance Crew - Week 6
Hey all, today’s episode is a VMA special, opening with a number using Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” in tribute, with crews reprising famous VMA performances to stay in the running… I know it’s wishful thinking, but maybe the prison uniforms was a subtle shout out to a certain group of dancers?
In order of Performance:
We Are Heroes - Performance and...

ONE PIECE (chapter 557)
No One Piece chapter this week. No real reason given, except that Oda’s wife delivered a baby last month! So he’s probably just a little busy here and there. Follow the link to AnimeCrazy.net for the picture.
NARUTO (chapter 463) – Sasuke vs Raikage
Sasuke is able to dodge Raikage’s attack, and connect with his Chidori. Raikage’s lightning...

Shonen Tuesday - September 1, 2009
So due to a super busy weekend with no internet access besides my crappy phone browser, Shonen Weekend was not able to occur during it’s proper time. Sorry about that. Sigh…it’s what happens when most of the titles are translated by Friday and Saturday. So if you normally follow the manga series that I normally read, you’ll notice that a few chapters are already scanned...
