Been a little while hasn't it? Okay so maybe a week isn't very long, but by golly to me it is because I love updates! I love it whenever you get to a site that updates everyday, and although I don't have time to update everyday, I DO hate making people wait too long for updates! Oh did anyone see the Monday "Dateline" special about Michael Jackson? Well if you missed it then you missed out on a lot. I've always been a fan of MJ's music, but I'm telling you that guy is becoming more of a freak of nature by the minute. I don't know how he can live with himself anymore. I still don't think I'll ever be able to figure out why the guy who brought us such classics as "Beat It," "We Are The World," "She's Out of My Hair," "The Way You Make Me Feel," "Man In The Mirror," and "You Are Not Alone" would chose to live his life like this. Also I normally don't bring up the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" trading card game, but I read a very interesting article you guys might find interesting. I also got some feedback on the site from my main inspiration Alan Tse, and while I won't be posting the e-mail for privacy reasons I can say that I walked away feeling pretty good about myself. And for all you female "Yu-Gi-Oh!" fans out there who love manga might want to check out a great series I discovered through my girlfriend. It's called "Kodocha," and it is one of the best manga's I've ever read in my life. Xbox owners might want to dust off "Mechassault" because tomorrow two new maps and mechs will be available for download. As for site updates I've made a couple of changes to episode comparisons 32 and 33 that you might want to check out, and I've updated some more of the links section. On a final note am I the only one who's losing patience with "Sailormoon Uncensored?" I try not to get on other websites cases for not updating as I DO understand that most likely life can get in the way, and that there is more to life then updating a website! But let's face it: I think it's pretty obvious that the webmasters there just simply don't have time to update that site anymore. They only update about once a month now, if even that, and those updates don't even accomplish much. They might add one episode comparison, or a DVD review, but that's about it. I think the webmasters might want to stop and decide whether or not they actually WANT to continue the site, because it seems like they don't! Heck if they plan to continue updating the site then they might want to compare the first two series before ADV releases the DVD's of them. Because as much as I hate to say it, the only reason to go to that site is for the information, because let's face it: The sites simply not that funny. I know everyone has their own sense of humor, but these guys are trying a little TOO hard to be funny! Comedy isn't funny when you're trying to be funny; comedy is funny when it's natural. I think the webmasters of "Sailormoon Uncensored" need to get their act together and decide what they want to do. I'll get off my soup box now. Enjoy the links and comparisons.

Time to make this known: "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days" was much better then I was expecting it to be. It had it's fair share of problems, like the fact that you could tell what was going to happen 10 minutes BEFORE the movie actually started, but if you can get around things like that you'll find yourselves having a lot of fun. Another thing I should note about is that the latest issue of "Shonen Jump" is currently on store shelves at the moment, and contains chapter's (Duel’s as Viz calls them) 5 ("The False Prophet") and 6 ("Into The Fire"). It also has a new series called "Shaman King" in it by Hiroyuki Takei, and it's a very good series from what I've just read. The issue also contains a free DBZ trading card, and I think I'm starting to get into "One Piece" much more then when I first read it, and now I can't wait for the anime to be released. And is it just me, or is "Sand Land" truly going nowhere? Considering this manga was written by the great Akira Toriyama I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.
In other news it appears that George Lucas is going to be screwing his hard-core "Star Wars" fans. Now I'm probably not as "hard core" as some "Star Wars" fans are. I basically like the movies and a few of the games, and I will not touch one of the many books, toys, Lego sets, and you'd have to drag me to a "Star Wars" convention because those things scare me! But I love the original movies dearly, which is why I felt crushed when Lucas told everyone that the original trilogy would NOT be coming to DVD, but the special editions would! What a slap in the face to fans of the original trilogy, I don't want the SE versions of the movies (Like the special edition of "E.T," the "Star Wars" SE just wasn't very good...or very needed), I want the originals! I've already written a letter to Lucas Arts telling them that I would not be buying the DVD's because of this, but I would if they put BOTH versions of the movie on the same two disk DVD! I encourage you all to do the same. As for site updates I don't have a new episode comparison for you (My last one met with an unfortunate accident), but I have a new editorial up. Needless to say, if there is anyone who works for 4Kids reading it I HIGHLY recommend they take notes! Other then that I guess that's it. Until next time.

Well guys something unexpected happened today, something I never thought would happen in a million years: My site went down a few times because of large numbers of people wanting to check out the website. I must say I'm shocked, my old websites I used to run never even came close to exceeding it's bandwidth...although there was probably a very good reason they never did, the sites were simply no good. Anyway I'm going to keep an eye on the situation, and if it starts happening too much then I'll just have to *gasp* buy more bandwidth! In other news did anyone pick up their collectable "Yu-Gi-Oh! TV Guide" covers yet? If you haven't I highly recommend you do. I'm not one to normally buy "TV Guide" for their covers, but I must admit that these covers are pretty darn fancy looking! And at the retail price of $1.99 how can you refuse? Believe when I tell you the screenshots doesn’t do the covers justice at all, they look MUCH nicer in real like then they do on the Internet!
Another thing you might want to know about is that not all the covers made it to store shelves. Believe it or not, "TV Guide" decided to hold back the forth cover from store shelves and make it a "TV Guide Store" exclusive (Which can be bought here). And who's on the forth cover you ask? Well, the forth character was Mei. And I'm not sure about you, but I feel this was a sexist move. Why did the one cover they chose to ban to their website have to be the only cover with a female on it? What kind of message does that send to people? That "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is a boy’s only territory? That Mei wasn't important enough to invest in making covers for the stores? I don't recall them ever having exclusive covers for anything else they did, why'd they decide to start now? It doesn't feel right to do this, and again, it just feels sexist. On a final note the episode comparison for episode 32 is up, so check that out. And look for a new editorial series premiering soon. Catch yu on the flip.

Just a quick update here, I've opened up the editorial section with my first editorial. It's not much it's just there to get things started. Much better editorial's will come at a later date. For now though enjoy the intro. Oh yeah, and a new episode comparison will be up in a couple days...hopefully.

Hello everyone! Watch the Super Bowl today? If the answer is yes let me ask you this: Wasn't that THE LEAST interesting Super Bowl game you've ever seen!?! I mean I'm not a big football fan, I'm going to admit that much, but I normally watch the game for the commercials so I normally have a little fun watching the game. But man oh man by the time the score got to be 26 to 3 I was "this" close to turning off the game and forgetting about the commercials! By the time last five minutes hit I just didn't care anymore, I turned it off. I might not be much of a football fan, in fact I'm not a fan at all, but if next years game is just like that I will tape the game to see the commercials instead. In other news I picked up the latest "Beckett Pokemon Collector" to find out that this is the issue that "officially" makes it a new magazine.
Now the magazine is called "Beckett Pokemon & Anime Collector," and the magazine has so little to do with Pokemon it's not funny. For the first 35 pages will not see any Pokemon in sight. Instead you will see...Yu-Gi-Oh? Yes folks, it looks like Beckett is officially using the Pokemon guide to lure people to buy their "Beckett Yu-Gi-Oh! Collector" magazine. Do these people have no shame? I'm pretty sure the YGO magazine would have sold well without this shameful self-promotion. Heck, for the first quarter of the Magazine you might just FEEL as if you HAD bought the YGO magazine. Out of all the pages I could only count...16 pages that were dedicated to Pokemon, and this magazine has 87 pages in it. WHY does Pokemon only have 16 pages to itself!?! Isn't Pokemon what's being flashed before everything else in this book? Why do the first 35 pages contain nothing but "Yu-Gi-Oh!" when YGO has it's own magazine? If they want to be serious about the whole anime scene why are the anime reviews/articles so poorly written? And why oh why are they advertising ADULT anime titles like "Cowboy Bebop" and "Trigun" in a magazine that is mostly read by KIDS!?!?! I feel as though they just destroyed one of my favorite magazines. I know that slowly YGO was taking over this magazine, but I figured that once YGO got his own magazine that would stop. Well that's apparently not the case as Beckett seems to have fun making TWO YGO magazines! So not only do we have the first quarter dedicated to a show that already has it's own magazine, but it's also got cheaply done anime reviews, and it has so little to do with Pokemon it might as well not even have Pokemon in the title anymore. I think Pokemon fans can officially start worrying about the direction this magazine is taking. If this continues then Pokemon fans might just have to cancel their subscription to "Beckett Pokemon & Anime Collector." While I'm not writing this magazine off just yet, it is something to keep your eye on.
As for site updates...I've reformatted all the episode comparisons into single page comparisons. So check it out. I've also fixed the "Thanks" link that's been linked to the bottom of the page since it opened, but never actually went anywhere (Long story behind that. Aside from that not much more to say. Man, this update was long enough to be an editorial, if you guys are lucky I'll be this motivated every time I update the site. See you later!

Today I have the comparison for episode 31 (AKA Episode 4) up in the series page, with a new twist: It's on ONE WHOLE PAGE!!!! Yes folks, I've figured out how to make everything on one page, so from now on all episode comparison’s SHOULD be on one page and not two! Now I just have to get around and fixing all those old pages with the new format. My next update will be more then a simple new episode comparison alright? So just be patient.

I finished running this site through a spell checker at Dogasu's request, and doing this from now on will probably help in the long run. And I also uploaded the episode comparison for episode 30...3 in America. And hopefully updates will be more frequent the moment I get used to this whole website thing. Catch you later
