Vampire Knight Guilty Episode 13 End

Phew! Zero is alive!! \(^.^)/

Yuuki chooses Kaname. Real sad for Zero! I feel for him! (T.T)
But well, I think this is the best for the 3 of them.

Zero - He loves Yuuki but he hates Purebloods. This sort of conflicting feelings will only make him more miserable if Yuuki were to be still with him.

Kaname - Before Yuuki makes her final decision, he is actually feeling insecure and a little jealous of Zero. Happiness is written all over his face when Yuuki appears in his room.

Yuuki - I feel that her heart is still wavering. Well, good that she's no longer fickle and has made her decision.

I have one question! Is Ichijou alive??! Why is this not answered? (v.v)
Shiki is the only one who remembers Ichijou.
Among the rubble, Shiki only finds Ichijou's kantana. He believes that that Ichijou is still alive and, with Rima, he continues searching for him. I hope Ichijou is still alive!!
Darn Kaname! He only thinks about leaving with Yuuki. He doesn't even care about Ichijou. >.>

Anyway, I love the ShikiXRima scenes. So sweet! (^з^)

Entertainment Level: 9/10

I love both Vampire Knight Guilty and Vampire Knight but I love Vampire Knight Guilty more! I love the twists in the plot, the emotional scenes and the Hot looking guys!! (^_-)-☆
There are also many funny moments and Aidou is in almost all of them. ^o^

Will there be a 3rd Season? I doubt so but it's not impossible. The ending is somewhat complete but there are still some loose ends. So if they want to continue, I feel that it's possible. I guess it really depends on the DVD sales in Japan. I do hope they will at least have an OVA showing whether Ichijou is still alive.

I will miss Vampire Knight!

Episode 13



Zero manages to injure Rido with his Bloody Rose. Rido escapes.
When Rido is sucking blood to regain his energy..



Kaname and Zero appears.
Kaname can't kill Rido because Rido is his master.



So, Kaname helps to distract Rido. Zero then gives Rido the finishing blow.



Rido is finally dead. However, Zero is not done yet. He wants to kill Kaname.



Yuuki appears in time to stop Zero.
Kaname tells Yuuki that it's time for them to set off. He then leaves Yuuki alone with Zero.



Kaname bumps into the Night Class Vampires. He reveals to them that he had been using them as 'pawns' to protect Yuuki. Since they have no use for him now so they are allowed to do what they like.



Aidou is happy to hear that. The fact that Kaname is going to stop using them as 'pawns' shows that he does care for them. Aidou resolves to follow Kaname. Likewise for Ruka and Akatsuki.



Meanwhile, Yuuki is with Zero at the rooftop. Zero says that he still does not believe Yuuki is a vampire. He asks her to bite him to 'prove' it.



And, with tears, she bites him. Through his blood, she can feel his feelings for her. (v.v) sad for Zero!



With that, Yuuki has 'proved' to Zero that she's a vampire.

Zero says "One day.. I'll kill you."
Yuuki replies "I'll wait for that day."

Somehow, I find it oddly romantic. :P



Kaname is alone in his room, feeling insecure. He feels that Yuuki will stay with Zero.
When Yuuki appears in his room, he's a little surprised. He thinks that Yuuki is with him out of obligation. When Yuuki says that Kaname is also one of the precious persons she wants to protect, Kaname feels happy.



Both Cross and Yuuki can't bear to say farewell. But since Yuuki has made her decision, Cross encourages her to follow her feelings and move forward. (what a great Otoosan!)



Aidou, Ruka and Akatsuki express their desire to follow Kaname.
Kaname, with an indifferent tone and expression, asks them to do as they wish. (¬_¬)



Shiki and Rima choose not to follow Kaname. They choose to look for Ichijou. (Good, good!!)
However, they cannot find Ichijou. (v.v)
Shiki only find his kantana.



Shiki poses with Ichijou's kantana! (ohh... cool!)



But Rima thinks that the kantana doesn't suit Shiki. (haha)
Shiki feels that Ichijou is still alive and wants to find him to return the kantana to him.
Rima decides to follow as she has to feed Shiki with Pocky! (aww... so sweet..)



Zero returns back to school. At the entrance of the Moon Dorm, he reminisces on the past. He recalls those days of performing guardian duties with Yuuki.



With that, Vampire Knight Guilty ends!

Gintama - I'm hooked on it!

I wish I had started watching Gintama earlier! It's so hilarious and I'm totally hooked! ('_^)



Gintama is an ongoing anime series about a samurai called Sakata Gintoki, who lives in an era when samurais are no longer needed. To add to his troubles, oppressive aliens have invaded Earth . Gintoki lives with Kagura and Shinpachi, taking on all sorts of job to meet ends and pay rent. Gintoki is a Shonen at heart. No matter how broke he is, he will buy the weekly Shonen Jump.

So far I've only watched 93 episodes. I'm behind by more than 30 episodes. (;_;)
Crunchyroll has recently made Gintama unavailable to Asians. This situation should change in 2009. Let's hope I can start watching again tomorrow.



In terms of storyline, there isn't much of it. However, the interesting characters and funny parodies more than make up for that. Most of the story arcs last about 1-2 episodes. The arc I love the most is the Benizakura arc. It lasts for 4 episodes (Episodes 58 - 61). It's full of action, humor and drama! Gintama hardly has fillers and even if there is, it's very entertaining (unlike those of Bleach).


Gintoki and Sadaharu

All the characters are funny and they make this anime awesome. From Gintoki, the Shonen Jump fan, to Hijikata, the Mayonnaise freak and to Sadaharu, the oversize skull-biting dog, everyone is unique and hilarious in their own way.

This anime makes me laugh out loud, literally. It's truly enjoyable to watch.

If you like comedy and samurai fighting, I will highly recommend Gintama. Gintama is now one of my favorite ongoing anime.

Soul Eater Official Fanbook!

(^ω^)V
I recently saw the Soul Eater Official Fanbook in Kinokuniya and I bought it immediately!

I like it because all the pages are colored and it's jam-packed with juicy details and colorful screen caps! Chapters include information on the major characters, interviews with the Seiyuu and staff, a look at the making of the anime, and more! A pull-out poster is also included! All in all, I think it's a good buy! (*^o^*)

Here, I want to share with you pictures of some of the Seiyuu.







One of my favorite Seiyuu - Miyano Mamoru (voice for Death the Kid)!! \(^.^)/

Kannagi Crazy Shrine Maidens Episode 13 End

Finally, it's the last episode. I'm glad it's over. It's been very tedious to watch.
The first few episodes were quite entertaining and funny but after that, the series start to get boring.

The last episode is slightly better than the previous 2 episodes, which were too serious, slow and drama-ish. Seriously, I can't stand Jin looking emo all the time. If not for Tsugumi's tongue-lashing, Jin would still be looking emo.

Tsugumi’s love for Jin often goes unnoticed. Despite that, she still cares a lot for him. It's sad that she has to see Jin, on top of a naked Nagi. (=_=;)

Plot: 6/10
Characters: 6/10
Entertainment Level: 5/10
Animation: 8/10

My favorite characters are Akiba and Tsugumi. I like Akiba because he's funny. He brightens up the whole series. As for Tsugumi, I find her the most likable among the 3 main female characters. I admire her unconditional care and concern for Jin.

Given the way Kannagi Crazy Shrine Maidens end, I'm quite sure there will be a 2nd Season. If there is, I won't be following. The storyline simply does not interest me. (¬_¬)

Episode 13



Jin has resigned to losing Nagi. He gives up searching for Nagi. His attitude p*sses Tsugumi off. She gives him a tongue-lashing.



The tongue-lashing works and Jin goes around looking for Nagi and finally, he finds her.



Remember the obaasan in the previous episode? She has passed on and her young spirit returns to talk to Nagi and Jin. She confirms that Nagi is the goddess of Kannagi. Nagi also feels that she's a goddess but her memories are very vague. Jin expresses his belief in her, no matter what.



Nagi returns home and the first thing she does is to bathe.



While Nagi is taking her bath, Jin is feeling the heat. He's thinking of Nagi lustfully.



Nagi forgets to bring a new set of clothes into the bathroom. She wraps herself using a towel and walks out of the bathroom. Jin happens to be outside. Things happen and Jin is on top of a naked Nagi. He gets to see almost everything.



Just when Jin is about to confess his feelings for Nagi, Tsugumi appears.



She's totally Shocked!



She runs off crying. (poor Tsugumi!)



Jin gets what he deserves!

12 Most Amazing Lost Cities in the World

The breathtaking city of Petra was a vibrant trading hub that vanished from most maps in the seventh century A.D. It lay beneath a thousand years of dust and debris when, in 1812, a Swiss scholar disguised as a Bedouin trader identified the ruins as the ancient Nabataean capital.

Spread throughout a series of remote desert canyons in southern Jordan, Petra arose more than 2,000 years ago at the crossroads of key caravan trade routes between Arabia, Syria, Palestine, and Egypt. The Nabataeans carved most of the sprawling city's buildings, including temples, tombs, and theaters, directly into the region's towering red sandstone cliffs. Here, a Bedouin walks his camel past Petra's most famous building, Al Khazneh, or the Treasury

The earliest Maya began to settle the dense rain forests of southwestern Mexico and Guatemala some 3,000 years ago. For nearly 1,400 years, settlements arose throughout the region, with some, like Tikal and Palenque (shown here), expanding into large, vibrant city-states.

Although the archaeological discovery of Machu Picchu came nearly a hundred years ago, historians are still unsure of the function of this ancient Inca citadel.

The Inca had no system of writing and left no written records, and archaeologists have been left to piece together bits of evidence as to why Machu Picchu was built, what purpose it served, and why it was so quickly vacated.


Myth, folklore, mystery, and intrigue surround the ancient city of Troy like no other ruin on Earth. Once thought to be purely imaginary, a prop in Homer's epic poem The Iliad, excavations in northwestern Turkey in 1871 eventually proved that the city indeed existed.

In 1871, German adventurer Heinrich Schliemann began digging at Hisarlik, Turkey, (shown here) in search of the fabled city. His roughshod excavation wrought havoc on the site, but revealed nine ancient cities, each built on top of the next and dating back some 5,000 years. At the time, most archaeologists were skeptical that Troy was among the ruins, but evidence since the discovery suggests the Trojan capital indeed lies within the site.

The Indus Valley civilization was entirely unknown until 1921, when excavations in what would become Pakistan revealed the cities of Harappa and Mohenjo Daro (shown here).

This mysterious culture emerged nearly 4,500 years ago and thrived for a thousand years, profiting from the highly fertile lands of the Indus River floodplain and trade with the civilizations of nearby Mesopotamia.

There is evidence that the ancient city of Palmyra, also known as Tadmor, was in existence as far back as the 19th century B.C. Its importance grew around 300 B.C. as trading caravans began using it as a way station between Mesopotamia and Persia. Palmyra's strategic location and prosperity attracted the interest of the Romans, who took control of the city in the first century A.D.

The city of Tanis is relatively unknown among Egypt's wealth of historical sites, though it yielded one of the greatest archeological troves ever found. Once the capital of all Egypt, Tanis's royal tombs have yielded artifacts on par with the treasures of Tutankhamun.

Once thought (erroneously) to be a city of the biblical Queen of Sheba, Great Zimbabwe stands as the most important archaeological site yet found in sub-Saharan Africa. Though historians are still seeking answers about the origin and purpose of the city, evidence suggests the Shona, ancestors of the modern Bantu, built it beginning around A.D. 1250 and that it served as a spiritual center.

Nimrud in northern Iraq was once the capital of the Assyrian empire. Feared as bloodthirsty and vicious, the Assyrians arose around the 14th century B.C. and dominated the Middle East for a thousand years. Nimrud and the Assyrian Empire declined rapidly around 612 B.C., after Nimrud's sister city, Nineveh, fell to the Babylonians.

The ancient city of Persepolis in modern-day Iran was one of four capitals of the sprawling Persian Empire. Built beginning around 520 B.C., the city was a showcase for the empire's staggering wealth, with grand architecture, extravagant works of silver and gold, and extensive relief sculptures such as this one portraying envoys with offerings for the king.

The height of Persian rule lasted from about 550 B.C. until 330 B.C., when Alexander the Great overthrew the ruling Archaemenid dynasty and burned Persepolis to the ground.

Over centuries of study, archaeologists have discovered many truths about the famed Stonehenge monument in southern England. But despite these advances, the basic questions of who built this iconic structure and why have remained unanswered.

More than 600 cliff dwellings made by the ancestral Pueblo people, also known as the Anasazi, are scattered throughout Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado (shown here).

The Anasazi arrived in the region as early as A.D. 550, building their homes and cultivating crops on the soaring mesa tops. Around 1150, though, they began to move their dwellings to the alcoves within the canyon walls. Most houses were quite small, but a few reached enormous proportions, housing up 250 people.
