The new season for the Bloody Monday drama began a week ago with a 1.5 hour special, and it sure was great seeing more Bloody Monday. If you’ve read the 2 season of the manga, the story should be quite different from the manga. Some changes have been made, but I’m not sure if those are really changes, or stuff that has yet to pop up in the manga, considering the pace the drama is going. I’m pretty sure the producers of the drama have decided to just surpass the manga and write an original storyline. I’m not too sure if that’s good, but the first episode was pretty decent so far. It just needs more hacking and less whining.
Anyway, HP collaborated last season and Falcon was hacking using their laptops. I have the MiniNote that Falcon had at the start of the series, and it’s quite a resilient thing. It still works after being dropped twice, but I had to change the screen because of a crack.
This season, it seems like they’ve called off the deal with HP and decided to go with Apple instead. Seriously, Apple? I’m predicting a slight rise in the population of Apple fanboys, and girls.

I only read Bakuman and One Piece in Weekly Shounen Jump. There used to be Eyeshield 21, but not anymore. As there are only 2 manga series which I read in the publication, which is relatively little compared to what many others out there are reading, I never saw it as a “drug”, since I never saw myself as addicted to it. But, the year end holidays a couple of weeks back made me come to the realisation that I might be slightly addicted to it.
While most were enjoying themselves in the holiday mood, I had piles of assignments to battle through. I’m still battling on. The only things I was, and am looking forward to are guitar practice, releases by the bands I like, and new manga chapter release days. So, when the long WSJ break came, I became somewhat irritated when I found out I’d have to endure more than 2 weeks without any Bakuman or One Piece.

I really hate common short band names. It just makes searching for information on them much harder. This is why I love bands names that are uncommon non-dictionary names. However, this love and hate is limited only to the band names, and not to the music. If a weird name band produces crappy music, there’s no way I’m loving them. Similarly, if there’s a band with a (common) dictionary word as a name that produces nice music, I’m falling for them, in a straight sense. A band like 鴉 is what I’m talking about here.
I’ve loving what I’m hearing so far from this 3 piece band.

This was published not too long ago, just last December. At first, I thought this would be one of those character guide books for a manga series, just like any other, but it was totally the opposite. This is one of those instances where manga is educational.
