PATAY KA SA KAGAT KO.


That's the Filipino version of Hibari's "Kami korosu yo.." Yes, I do know it's quite literal. But damn it, ABS-CBN's doing Reborn. OMG.

As if I wasn't scarred enough already. GRABE. I had to witness the damn nightmare after getting home from a stressful day at uni. BIG SIGH HERE.

I guess the dub [Reborn's] wasn't that bad. But Tsuna's.. well, let's just say that his Filipino version suspiciously sounds like Hidenobu Kuichi with a sore throat in Ryohei mode. :|

Not that I don't love Hidenobu Kuichi [of course I do!], but really. Tsuna's supposed to be this wimpy kid. Why the hell did they turn him into a kid with a "nagbibinaklang boses"? GRABE TALAGA MEN. SUPER. ARGH.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.


ANYWAY, so a local channel's doing Reborn. No offense to their respective patrons, but I'm glad that neither GMA nor Animax got the rights to it. At least, at least it was ABS-CBN. I still have some faith in that channel, some little faith that they won't make Hibari say, "Patay ka sa kagat ko," or something as ridiculous.

-shakes head- I'm very disappointed, though. About Tsuna's voice. We've only heard his and Reborn's, and the one doing Reborn is quite good. I wish Gokudera wouldn't be too bastardized, really. Wonder how they're going to translate "Jyuudaime".. maybe "Boss"? Or "Bossing"? Hah, well.. it wouldn't be too bad, if that were the case.

As for the others.. well.. we have Ryohei's catchphrase. Wonder how they're going to do that. Some person from LJ predicted it would be "TODO MAX", and I guess it would all depend on the delivery of the dubber. Hope it's someone good enough, god. But another LJ person suggested it would be something like "TODO NA TO"... :| I say it's a good thing that ABS-CBN got it then, since "TODO NA TO" is a known catch phrase of someone from the rival network. Meaning they won't be using it. I think.

As for Mukuro's laugh.. well.. I don't really have any idea what would happen to that. But I'm leaning towards them making it a "tagalized" laugh. Meaning a Hard Belly Laugh. But gay-sounding, definitely. :| I can almost imagine it now. Someone with the voice of the earlier Shikamaru or Neji. GOD. O...O

Yamamoto, well.. they can't butcher him that much, right? Since Yamamoto's all that normal. He'll be the safest character, I think. The ones in great danger of being bastardized will most probably be Lambo, Gokudera and Mukuro. Since Gokudera's voice is too deep and Mukuro's really gay-looking. In the Filipino context, anyway. Hibari'd probably be voiced akin to Sasuke's. -snort- And Ryohei with Naruto's. Not the Shippuden one, mind you. Just for the screaming voice, of course.

The girls, well. Filipino dubbers always have whiny girls, so I'm not expecting much. I can imagine Tea's dubber voicing one of them, probably Haru or the older I-pin. Joey's seiyuu for Yamamoto? -shruggs- possibly. Dunno if it's likely, though. And omg, Dino. :| Maybe they can find that person who voiced Shishido and make him do it. Afterall, it would be connected in a strange way.

The Varia.. dear me. Squalo.. Bel.. Levi.. :| I can't even predict anymore. It's giving me a headache.


Xanxus. -shudder-


God, the dubbers better do a good job. Or else.


Anyway, I'm late. Again. By almost four days, wow. Latest one yet, ei?

So without further ado, the UPDATES:

Naruto: Chapter 431

Naruto kicks some ASS! XDDDD


And did I mention the ass belongs to Pain?

Ooops, I meant asses. As there are many Pains.

'Nuf said! XD


Bleach: Chapter 341

And Orihime shows us how to kick ass as well. Or to defend's Ichigo's ass, whichever. XD

I don't have anything to say, really, since this week's chapter is another one of those fight scenes. Anyway, those two Arancar bitches are plotting to kill Orihime, I think. Wonder if they'll succeed. And whether Ishida's finally going to come into the picture.

[And if he's suddenly been turned into a girl by our freaky Captain Mayuri. Weird, but possible. Anything's possible with Bleach it seems. :D]



Katekyo Hitman Reborn: Target 225

Omg, Xanxus! The first page is so hot.. :3

Ah, forgive me. Xanxan overfried my brain a bit, so.. :3 Anyway, this week's chapter takes us back just after Jill/Raisel and that butler guy get their asses kicked by the wonderful Xanxus. Oh, and of course we find out that Bel and Fran aren't dead. But Lussuria and Levi might be. And that Squalo's running as fast as he could to aid his wonderful [husband] Boss. :3

Anyway, more fighting this week. Between Jill/Raisel/Siel + his butler and Xanxus and his box weapon. Don't want to spoil what it is, but then again, this is already 4 days late. So might as well say it here: it's a friggin lion. Leone di Cielo translates roughly to Sky Lion or Lion of the Sky. And it's so damn cool.. :3 Now I can't help but wonder about Tsuna's box weapon, omg. XD

SO Raisel and butler dude team up on Xanxus using a move called Martello Doppio which roughly translates to Two Hammers.. or maybe Double Hammer.. something that sounds like that, yeah. Anyway, Xanxus still kicks their ass. XD -snort- Bester, though.. really.. that's even worse than Uri. XD So his box weapon's a liger, sky lion and storm tiger combined. YAY. SUPER COOL. Wonder what Gokudera has to say about it, though... :3



After almost two weeks without any updates on the manga,

And as promised, two reviews for Eyeshield 21

312th DOWN!

The team reunites with Sena. Who got lost the previous chapter. XD


Anyway, they come to see the American team.. Waaah, Panther-Sena moments galore! And who is this Mr. Don? Hmmm.. suspicious, very suspicious.. [reminds me of our own Hiruma, really... are they related? O.O]

"Panther-kun.."

"... Sena!"


Can you get any more canon than that, god. XD


Ooops, right. Sorry, this is about football. Not my unhealthy obsession with Panter [and his seiyuu, Kujirai Kousuke, omg omg omg Kuji is so cute... XDDD] AHEM. Right. :3 So Panther shows off to Sena. Sena gets it in his head that he wants to compete with Panther like his life depended on it. Some Shin-Panther moments, raaaaawr.. And oh, we get to see Panther's ass quite a lot. :3

Some Gaou-bullying-Chuubou, but that's not new. Of course, the chapter wouldn't be complete without Hiruma [and some old man love, whut]. :3


313th DOWN!

This chapter was more interesting than the previous one, all Kuji-related biases aside. Then again, that just might be my Hiruma bias talking. Anyway, this week's chapter finally provides us with some evidence that the OTq3 really does exist. And what is OTq3? The Quaterback threesome, of course. Meaning: Hiruma + Kid + Agon. :D

Serioulsy though, am I the only one who can even see this implication? Oh wth. I'm a weird one, aren't I? Anwyay, Agon "kidnaps" Kid and Hiruma, only to tell them to back off so he could get the MVP award/prize. Hiruma bursts his bubble and blows him a new one. You'll know what I mean by reading the chapter. Anyway, here we see just how much these three differ; Agon being too materialistic, Kid being too detached and Hiruma being too ambitious. Oh, and of course, Sena and Suzuna being too snoopy/stalker-ish. :3

Talk about freaky, though. Hiruma's not even intimidated by Agon. At all. Though he isn't really scary I guess... it's more like he's annoying and brash. But then, when that thing happened near the end, Agon got really scary --- and it didn't help that Hiruma was rubbing it in his face. XD

Aaah, I love Hiruma so much.




And that concludes this week's review. Hope that helped a bit. XD I'll try to be on time next week, I promise.. :3


And to deluded, yeah, I'm fine. I just had a bad case of food poisoning.. if you can call it that. I accidentally ate some moldy food.. But I'm okay now [of course, that's after I went through some hellacious stomachaches and headaches-from-the-stomachaches and other bodily pains.. :D ]
