Ranting, Raving, Crazy Craving t(-_-“t)

Oh. My. GAWD.
A teenage girl is whining about something? Say it isn’t so! Is this real life?

Yep, I’m about to start complaining about the cruel injustices of my privileged American life. Buckle up. 😛

MANGA.

I read it constantly, as I’ve said before in multiple posts. Most of what I read is Shounen(Shonen), as in, made for boys around the age of 12.  They’re just more worthwhile in my opinion, as the girl counterpart, Shoujo(Shojo), is filled with too much gush and not enough kicking.

But what bugs me about Shounen is how the girls are portrayed. More often than not, the relationships in these particular mangas are not blatant. Let’s face it, little boys don’t really start wanted to read about romance. No biggie, my writermind will serve up some fanfiction that can most definitely fill the void.

But the girls in Shounen are especially…well… annoying. They whine and complain almost constantly, usually serving to make stupid comments and act as damsels in distress. Even when they are given the ability to defend themselves, they nearly always need to be rescued by a male heroine. In shounen, the girls always care too much about romance and too much about their appearance. Honestly, if you’re about to fight some guy, the way your hair is styled shouldn’t be your first concern.

To make things even more frustrating, they are drawn completely unrealistically. Most mangakas (manga artist) even include the measurements of the main female characters, penning them as 37-21-33″ (Nami – One Piece) 37-23-36″ (Lucy, Fairy Tale) 38E-24-34″ (Orihime, Bleach).

Honestly, I don’t even think it’s possible to have that small of a waist yet gigantic boobs. I don’t think the mangakas realize how painful that would be – seriously, plenty of my friends have C’s or D’s and complain about back pain and how it hurts to run.

S0, just to sum up this rant: Shonen manga makes most females moronic, helpless, tiny and huge-breasted. I assume that’s because that would be the “ideal” female.

Well guys, (you too mangaka’s) good luck finding someone that fits that profile without having implants, back problems, and waaay out of your league(:

Love You <3

Love you.

Love this town.

Love this mother lovin’ truck that keeps on breaking lovin’ down.

That songs been stuck in my head all day. It’s the best, really. If you haven’t heard it, go buy it on iTunes or, if you’re lacking the morals department, illegally download it or something.

Really, I just wanted to blog a little bit more about Death Note, since I just finished it. But I wanted to continue titled based on the subject matter, and two “Death Note <3” ‘s in a row in a blog only 3 entries long seemed kind of stupid.

But yeah, I finished the series. In the end, Light was captured just like I knew he would be, but he ended up going like crazy. He kind of just ranted on the floor, dying and whatnot. So he lost some of his appeal there. Near replaced L, and according to the one shot that tells the epilogue or whatever, he isn’t at all interested in solving a new Death Note case, as he was only interested in the case because the real L had been.

Oh, and his name was Nate River.
Fabuloso.

…So now I’m going to read One Piece. I should read my history book or do some math homework, but I honestly don’t see that happening. 😛

Death Note <3

In case you’re not aware, Death Note is a Japanese manga that came out around 2009.

In case you’re not aware, manga (Mon-guh) is essentially a comic book. It’s printed in black and white, and read from right to left. It’s one of my many nerdy obsessions, followed by miscellaneous fanfiction, books about werewolves, and the infamously dramatic TeenNick show, Degrassi.

As far as manga goes, Death Note is a good one. I read it translated into English of course, since I am completely clueless when it comes to those weird little Japanese symbol things. I am currently reading several manga, such as the “Big Three” Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, as well as other popular titles such as Fairy Tale. Any others besides these few mentioned are only read up to a few chapters and aren’t really worth mentioning. 

But I digress…(I’m a leading man, and the lies I weave are oh so intricate <3)

Death Note is extremely interesting, very detailed, and it makes you think. In all honestly, I think it would make a pretty good movie or novel. While most manga rely heavily on their cartoons to fill space and keep the reader’s attention, Death Note only uses it’s images to help support the text, not to offer a crutch. 

It would be useless for me to try and explain the entire plot, and I simply don’t care to try. Make a jump over to Wikipedia or something if you wish, or don’t. 

All I really wanted to say was that I agree with Kira. Honestly, those that he kills using his Death Note deserve to die. He doesn’t kill those who have atoned for their crimes, or who committed a crime by accident; rather, he kills those who are killers or rapists or murderers. I don’t understand why people want to end his reign. It’s as if they don’t want the world to be at least semi-peaceful, and prefer chaos and crime. It’s just…stupid

*SPOILER ALERT*

I already know Light is Kira, and that Near is going to kill him, but I can’t help but hope that he somehow escapes his fate. However, the story’s already done and there’s nothing that I can do to change what I’m about to read. So curse you, Tsugumi Ohba, for making the righteous character into the antagonist and killing him off in the end. You suck. D:<
