Yay SDK!

So… In continuing with what was mentioned in my muiltiple post scripts yesterday. I have many things to say. My word goal thing for the month of June is 10,000 words. It actually isn’t that much, less than 20 pages. I plan on starting it today anyways so really I should bump it up to 12,000 words… lets do that.

Today I catalogued my mangas. I have 132 series, spanning from single volumes to over 22. Ready for the scary part. I have 482 mangas….

My love for Samurai Deeper Kyo(22 out of 38) is renewed. It is still one of the best stories I have ever read. The only problem is I am very upset with Tokyopop and their slowness in translating. I know I could probably find it on the internet but nothing beats having the actual book you know? Anyway, SDK at this rate will be completely published after I’ve already been out of college for a year (sometime in 2012). If Tokyopop had continued with its original publication schedule, the series would have been completed in 2009. But noooo Tokyopop had to clog up their company with Kim Possible, who is not asian based at all. They also have placed too much in the creation of American Mangas. I know you are “Leading the Manga Revolution” Tokyopop but the speed at which your going, and the amount of American stuff that is being incorporated, is hindering that process. I mean really, send them over to another company, hell create your own. Stop taking away from your loyal consumers (like me) who have been with you since you were still publishing Sailor Moon with Mixx.

I also didn’t realize how many… unique mangas I have. I mean not like one of a kind but certainly less frequently seen in collections. I have the original publications of the first 8 volumes of Fushigi Yugi. I have June Mangas from when the company was still DMP. I have Under the Glass Moon and INVU. I have Flower of the Deep Sleep which Tokyopop stopped publishing and removed from their website after the second volume. I also have Bus Gamer which suffered a similar fate. I also have the original publication of Paradise Kiss. All I need really is to complete my collection of Banana Fish and I can make tons just off of that.

So one of my projects for the summer is to spiff up the boxes my mangas are currently in, as well as read some actual books.

Next part of yesterday’s thing was for me to do kinda a review thing. I have no idea how to work it but lets’ start with a review of Samurai Deeper Kyo:

Overall: Awesome… 100 out of 10.

In my mind, this is one of the best series. Course I am warped and twisted and I will pick gore and violence and neat one liners over a romantic plot any day.

The only problem with SDK (and many other mangas really) is that you have to be prepared for a lot of plot and characters. It spans 38 mangas after all. The good news is with Akimine Kamijyo’s style it is very easy to tell characters apart, from their clothes to their moves to their overall appearance. Each character also has their own way of communicating, making it easy to tell them apart. The plot is something that unfortunately does not get easier as the story progresses. The best thing is that while the overall plot becomes more and more complex, the basic premise is still the same. One guy wants to be the best, and he will do whatever it takes to be the best.

I’ve decided that I want to make my own mood theme… which means the obsession is going to kick in…

Anyways… that’s all I haves for today. We shall see how everything else works out.
