Here we will see the last of Kagura as she finally gets her heart back but is poisoned with miasma by that scheming Naraku. She pondered over her newfound but short-lived freedom from Naraku. Before she dies, she sees Sesshomaru for the last time and floated into petals with a smile.

InuYasha and gang came too late to save her but they are somewhat relieved that she died happy. Initially I didn't like Kagura so much as she kept foiling InuYasha's plans to retrieve the Shinkon Shards but as the mangaka slowly developed her character, we came to know that Kagura is very much different from Naraku. At least she wanted to live as herself, without the control of Naraku and his evil plans. Throughout the story, all she wanted was the return of her heart so that she can gain freedom from Naraku and live as free as the wind. After all her name signifies the wind.

Enjoy the episode while it last. =D

Finally, we get to see the last volumes of the popular manga, InuYasha, being animated on TV. The new and final season titled InuYasha Kanketsu Hen (or InuYasha The Final Act) started airing on Japan TV on 3rd October 2009 (my birthday! woo~) and started airing in the States the next day.

The volumes being animated are from 36 - 56 (end) and will officially conclude the anime series for InuYasha. Even though I have not yet seen the previous seasons of the anime, I am still watching the new season as I have finished reading the manga and thus I can follow the anime without any problem.

So far I have watched up to episode 8, where we bid farewell to Kikyo as she passed away in InuYasha's arms. Naraku had wanted to kill Kikyo so that she would die in his arms, the person whom she hated the most. Luckily InuYasha managed to get her back from Naraku before she dies. Still her injuries are too serious for her to recover and InuYasha shared a poignant last kiss with Kikyo before she turned into petals and floated away into the sky.

Here is episode 1 of the anime. I will slowly post links to each episode if I can.

Nowadays it is not easy to find animes on the web as these are unauthorised airing of the shows. However for asians fans like me, this is the only way to catch our favourite animes as our local TV network is not good enough to bring these animes to our shores. *sighs* 

So enjoy the videos while they last. See ya!

Anime Watch: Inuyasha - The Final Act

Yay! Inuyasha is finally coming back to finish off the last volumes of the story in this brand new anime by Sunrise!

I am so happy to see this anime being listed in Anime News Network as part of a new 2009 fall anime releases. It is said to continue from where the last season left off. To be honest, I didn't watch any of the previous seasons as I don't have the full set of episodes. To find all 167 episodes is a high task indeed and one that I failed. =(

However this latest season shall not suffer the same fate. I will strive to get all episodes and watch them all. After all this is the last season for the manga and I desperately want to see Inuyasha and Kagome being together at the end of the anime. Also I'm not too sure if the previous seasons have covered Kikyo's death. If not, then this new season is most likely to cover it and I must watch it too. It was such an emotional scene for Inuyasha in the manga. *sobs*

Plus we will also get to see Sesshomaru get his arm back, together with a new, powerful sword that truly belong to him. And of course, the final defeat of Naraku, that damn, undying bastard that just refused to go away.

Inuyasha is one of my favourite manga so now they are finally continuing the series is making going all giddy in my head. Hee...

So now I put the video below for preview so that we can see what the new season has to offer for us. =)

Manga Read: Skip Beat! Chapter 141

Yay!

Chapter 141 has finally arrived! The story is getting more interesting as it slowly progresses along. Mind you, it's really a long and slow process. After all the mangaka did said that this is going to be a very long, long project.

Hmmm probably it might turn out to be as long as Inuyasha, another one of my favourite mangas. *grin*

Right. You can get the new chapter here. You might have to register in order to get it, I'm not sure. Nonetheless, it's definitely worth joining Franky House. They have so many awesome releases! They are truly a god-send to us manga fans. =D

Ok, onward to the new chapter! See ya!

Manga Read: Loving InuYasha Manga

I have been wanting to write this entry for a while but I keep getting sidetracked by other stuffs. Now I can finally get to write about an amazing manga that I read last month.

This is a very old manga series, InuYasha, which debuted way back in 1996 and was only recently concluded last year. The mangaka, Rumiko Takahashi, is very skillful in her craft and the story plot is very interesting too. The whole series contains 56 volumes and I read them all from 21 January to 30 January 2009.

Yep. It took me one week to complete everything. Towards the end, I was sad to finish InuYasha yet at the same I am also glad that he lives together happily with Kagome after all that they have gone through. Below are some pictures that I found through the web:

The story follows the trial and tribulation of Kagome, who travelled back in time to feudal Japan, where she met InuYasha. InuYasha was initially after a particular jewel, the Shikon no Tama, in order to become a full demon. He is a hanyou, meaning a half-demon and a half-human.

This is because his demon father had fell in love with his human mother. Because of his parentage, InuYasha was often ridiculed by both demons and humans alike. Hence, this makes him crave for the powers of the Shikon no Tama.

Kagome is a modern Japanese student whose family runs a shrine. There is an old well in her yard and one day she accidentally fallen through the well, only to find herself in the feudal era of Japan.

It was later revealed that Kagome is the reincarnation of Kikyo, a former priestess who protected the Shikon no Tama. Coincidentally, she had also fallen in love with InuYasha, who had originally wanted to become a human being so that he could be with Kikyo.

Due to a jealous antagonist in the form of Naraku, the lovers were separated in death and even then, Naraku never lets them off, consistently in pursuit of Kikyo. Even though Kikyo had died, she was brought back to life by a youkai using clay and soil from her burial bones and earth.

Thus a love triangle forms between InuYasha, Kagome and Kikyo. There are quite a number of scenes where Kagome gets her heart broken by InuYasha and I truly felt for her. Yet despite that, she still stuck by him, always giving her support without fail. My favourite picture of the couple in the manga is seen below:

InuYasha and Kagome

The manga teaches us about true love and true friendship that never dies. No matter how close they were to death's door, the characters never give up and thus they are able to survive through the worst fights and conquer their enemies.

Even faced with an elder cold, troublesome brother like Sesshomaru doesn't daunt InuYasha at all. They share the same father but different mothers. On top of that, Sesshomaru is hankering after Tessaiga and he would always start a fight with InuYasha just to prove that he is more powerful and worthy than InuYasha.

Eventually, Sesshomaru came round to his senses and even takes extreme good care of Rin even though he doesn't like humans. He also has a follower, Jaken, who suck up to him at every opportunity.

Yet there are lots of humourous scenes in the manga that still continue to tickle m toes even though I have finished reading. The mangaka shows how InuYasha cope with living in Kagome's modern world, usually met with hilarious failure.

Overall, this manga series is definitely worth the read and InuYasha's numerous adventures gets more dangerous with each passing chapter. All 558 of them. *grin*

So if you have the time, do check out InuYasha. Even though the series has been adapted into an anime series, I don't have the chance to watch them and besides, the anime ended earlier than the manga. Hence it is not a completed series either.

Nonetheless, the manga more than makes up for the slacking anime and I would re-read it again when I have more free time.

=D

Wow! It's the Year of the Cow

Time passes by so quickly and before I know it, it's time to usher in the Year of the Ox and send away the Year of the Rat in the Chinese lunar horoscope.

The Rat year has not been very good and it's all the same usual stuffs like the Sichuan earthquake, Mumbai bombings, Myanmar tsunamis, global economic crisis, tainted milk crisis and many more. It seems to be more happening than any other years.

Be it the English year or the lunar year, it's all the same. Disasters one after another, never stopping to give us a breather in life.

Will the new year usher in a change of fortune? For the Singapore Flyer, it seems to be the case. News reported that the Singapore Flyer, which had been closed for a month due to technical fault, has been reopened today, just in time for the lunar new year.

As for me, so far nothing significant has happened and it's quite a disappointment. This year I decided not to take the initiative to approach Moonie and Queenie to go out on the first day of the lunar new year, as was the case in previous years. I want to see if they would approach me instead. Yet I was disappointed when they truly did not bother to contact me. Guess our friendship is nothing more than just words. *sighs*

So I went to pay house visits to my mum's relatives, though I was hoping that I could stay at home for the whole day. I have no mood to go anywhere this year. My mum can be quite a kancheong queen sometimes. Most of my relatives don't pop in for visits very early, except for one of my coousins.

My mum wanted to catch this cousin in order to see her daughter, so she woke me up rather early. Me being me, naturally I dragged and lazed about in my bed to avoid getting up. Still, sometimes mothers' powers can be hard to block out. *grins*

In any case, we didn't manage to see that cousin in time. The travelling alone took up quite some time as I lived in the east and my relatives live in the north.

Frankly speaking, my holidays are usually quite boring and I don't have many exciting stuffs happening. But today I almost came face to face with a guy that I never want to see in my life again.

My mum forced me to do house visit to this particular aunt and her son had once did something very bad to me. Hence I had never wanted to see him again. The past few times that I went to her house, he wasn't around as he had been either put away in a boys' home or in jail.

However, today he's no longer in jail and didn't even went out with his stupid girlfriend. Instead he stayed at home and slept. Well I wished that he could go on sleeping without waking up but my mum's super loud voice had woken him up.

It was a good thing that I felt bored and had tuned in to my iPod to watch one of the InuYasha's movie. So my hair had hidden my face and thus, I won't have to see that guy, even if he's standing close. It was an unbearable time, waiting for my mum to finish whatever chitchat she had and that we could quickly head home. It certainly felt like hours to me.

During the whole time, I never turned my head in his direction and never llifted up my head even though my shoulders were aching. When my mum finally decided to leave, it was such a huge relief and I quickly stepped out of the house to get my shoes and leave.

Phew. I am glad that I didn't get to see his face so that I won't get nightmares. Hmmm, probably it wouldn't hurt to see how he looks like after all those years in jail. I heard from my mum that he was once caned 14 times for drug trafficking offences. Oh whatever. This guy gives me the chills.

So I managed to survive my first lunar day without any problems. Time to get back to my InuYasha.

See ya!

And a Happy Chinese New Year.
