Finished watching the last episode, and I have to say. . . That ending put me on a feel bus to feelsville. I'm still recovering, but I hope to see more SAO maybe next year when the LN novels finish up the current arc its in. Meanwhile, let's see what Winter's anime lineup has for us next month.

Sad news guys. Ishida-san confirmed and debunked the rumors of 24 episodes. The second season is confirmed to air 12 episodes like the first season. ;_; (as long as they animate the biology lesson scene, I'll be happy camper for the rest of the anime). Sauce: https://twitter.com/sotonami/status/546356820529250304 Also, in regards of the preview I talked about a couple days ago (which you can see below), I mentioned about concept art in the trailer. The concept art drawn a little like the manga with written dialogue. A user from tumblr took the time to make rough translations of the panels which you can view below underneath the video. It may contain spoilers for the anime, but I can't connect two and two, so you should haven't to worry. Translations sauce: http://makyun.tumblr.com/post/105776965817/tokyo-ghoul-a-pv-2 We also have a new poster ad with new anime visuals, some are familiar and a couple are not familiar. It confirms that Tk from Ling Tosite Sigure (Who I have recently took great interest in listening to their music) is not performing season two's opening, but a band called Osterreich (German name) is performing the opening. Amazarashi (known for strange music videos, but interesting music composition) will perform the ending. Let's see what these bands have to offer next month. Here's the ad poster Finally, in manga news, I found spoilers pages of TG:re chapter 11, so expect a new chapter (with a familiar character making a formal appearance and another familiar character to appear next chapter) in a few days. However, it is confirmed that this chapter is double-issue. There will be no chapter next week. And another reminder: the last BR/DVD volume of Tokyo Ghoul will release this week after Christmas day. I will post the comparisons of censorship/uncut a couple days after it releases.

Hey gais, check this out! I was fooling around on animelist and found out about the Naruto one-shot that Kishimoto did before he serialized the manga. Check out the link if you wanna read it. It's waaaay different, but somewhat similar to the Naruto manga. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.542640012445234.1073741827.246109795431592&type=3

Just three more weeks. . . Three more weeks ;_;

Awesome to see that you are interested in TG. They could tone the gore down just a little tho, but that doesn't stop me from reading like crazy. I normally don't read these kinds of manga. Also, another season 2 PV appeared, but I can't seem to find it on youtube. You can go on Tokyo Ghoul's official facebook page to see the PV (the official page has a pic of Kaneki holding a body that is wrapped under sheets). However, it only showed clips of episode 12, then a couple concept arts scenes (which is not animated).

Welp. . . after seeing next week's episode preview, I don't think I will be watching Naruto on Christmas ;_;

You find out soon if you read the manga.

Harmony looked at the puzzled faces of the students. She has a funny feeling they have no idea of what they looking for. She walked towards Gaku who was getting a refill from the soda fountain. As Gaku turned around, he was met with Harmony within inches close to Gaku. "Now you just getting into my personal space." Gaku said with annoyance as he takes his finger and pushed Harmony back a feet or two without shoving her. "Gaku, did you forget to give the group background information about how this world works?" Harmony asked. "Yeah, but only the Realground portion. I didn't tell them about the Underground yet." Gaku responded. Harmony groaned in annoyance as she has to do more explaining with hopes that Gaku would provide more detail. However, Gaku beat her to it. "I told you guys about how Shibuya works earlier today. Well, I only told you half of the story" Gaku stated. "There are two planes of existence in this world: the Realground which is where we are, and the Underground, where the Reaper Games occur. In this world, if you were to die and have regrets in your life, you are given a second chance to come back to life. That's how the Reaper Games work. the Player forfeits his or her entry fee which is something very close to you, and he or she must survive one week with a new objective and a time limit given every day from the Reapers. If the remaining Players survive the games, they will get their entry fee back, and become resurrected back to the Realground." Gaku paused for a moment which Harmony began to speak. "There are three types of Reapers: Harriers send Noise, souls bound into the pins the Reapers create to attack players. If given permission to, unless it's the last day of the Games, they may attack and erase the Players from existence." Harmony informed. "Support Reapers create challenges for the players who must pass their objectives to make progress. Finally, you have the Game Master. They are top level Reapers. They create a mission per day until the last day where the Players have to defeat the Game Master to be resurrected." Gaku stepped in after Harmony finished talking. "There are three more ranks higher than the Game Master, but we get to those ranks another time. Because we are in the Realground, the Reapers will be difficult to find due to non-exposure of their black wings which can be seen in the Underground. They can live normal lives on the Realground while doing their job at the Underground. However, we can get past that." Gaku pulled the two Player Pins out of his pocket and threw one to Harmony who caught the Pin. "With these Player pins, we can use them to find the Reapers because if we were to scan them, we can't read their thoughts." Gaku said. "My dad survived the Games three times because of special circumstances as well as my mother, Beat, and his sister Rhyme. My dad kept the Pin, and passed it down to me." Gaku looked around the room to come up with a strategy. "Alright listen up! we are gonna split into two groups. Those who need to do some shopping for clothes will go with Harmony. She will take you towards the 104 Tower, and investigate in the areas around 104 such as Shibukyu Main Store, AMX, etc. I will be leading my group around the upper areas of Shibuya, such as Towa Records, Molco and Udagawa. So choose your group. We are leaving in ten minutes." Gaku informed.

For some reason, Imperialscans doesn't want to cooperate with me But a new TG:re chapter is out now! I will use onemanga's upload (it's the imperialscans version) so you can check it out. http://www.onemanga.me/Tokyo_Ghoul_one/153/ Couple news: The first volume of Tokyo Ghoul:re comes out to Japan in 2 days! Here's the official cover feature our wonderful protagonist, Sasaki Haise! Next, I hate to say this, but there is a very good chance that we will not get a new chapter next week because of double issue, meaning Young Jump releases their magazine, and then takes week break. I expect that we will not get a chapter this week or next week. Sometime during January, we may not get a chapter as well, but we wouldn't care because we will be fangasming over second season of Tokyo Ghoul. Finally, the last volume of Tokyo Ghoul Season 1 (episodes 10-12) will go on sale next week on Dec. 26. a few days later, I will post the final censored/uncensored comparisons (and I'm gonna try to get my friend to watch Tokyo Ghoul then >: 3 )

We have a first gameplay trailer! (Well. . . teaser). It's Hashirama vs. Madara, and I have to say. . . I was speechless while I was watching the clip. (It shows 5 minutes, but really, its just looping)

Did I mention you may have to wait a few more days or weeks after the Japanese chapter releases for the English translation?

Original series will be remastered as well? They better release the uncut version overseas, cause the 4kids version is unforgivable imo.

Good news manga readers! For those disappointed in anime ending and worried about the manga, don't fret. The artist of the manga stated that the manga is far from over and to look forward to the new chapter of AGK on Dec. 22. We probably see AGK hit the 100 chapter section, so that's good enough for me. The only problem? MONTHLY RELEASES ;_; Sauce: http://www.reddit.com/r/AkameGaKILL/comments/2p6hjz/akame_ga_kill_manga_artist_says_the_manga_is_far/

Gaku absorbed all the information he heard from Allitt about the "Seekers of Light" and the member the group fought in Land of Dragons, but he kept to himself to analyze the details. This can't be good. If the Mage we fought was just "playing around," then we need to train more harder. Who knows what SoL is capable of? Gaku thought. Never mind that. I gotta bring Shibuya back to normal. Joshua wants us to find one of the Reapers and interrogate them. "Josh. Mr. H, do you have any idea of which Reapers got on your bad side lately, and are the Reaper Games still being held or postponed?" Gaku asked. Harmony listened into the conversation about balance between Light and Darkness. She knows that Darkness is always the victim of being used for evil purposes. However, if used properly, Darkness can be used for good as well. Harmony provided her insight on the locations of SoL. "I doubt they would reveal the main stronghold to the former Academy student. We probably have to get information from other members to find the location of the stronghold. Luckily, Allitt confirmed that two of them are stationed here, so this makes getting information a little easier. Capturing them is the hard part." Harmony said as she eyed Allitt's cloak.

O_O . . . . . Guys. Next year is gonna be a good year.

Gaku looked at Indy and Nexus in annoyance. "Shut up. I don't even like her in the first place. Always stalking me." Gaku said. "Aww c'mon Gaku. You should at least give me a chance. We're going to be stuck with each other throughout the mission anyways." Harmony pouted. Gaku pushed his ring finger down with his thumb to crack the finger as Harmony spoke. "Good grief. Either way, we still live in the same world. I just have to dye my hair" Gaku said. He looked at the boy who came in after Harmony. Dude looks like he has a hard case of amnesia. Gaku thought. Harmony heard Allitt and Indy ask their questions. She knew of Allitt's defiance from back then and was informed of her changes in alliance, but Harmony is still not convinced fully, but decides to cooperate anyways. "Yes Allitt. Cloaked people were sighted in Shibuya. i spotted one talking to the Reaper's earlier today. Joshua and Mr. H also stated that they've seen Reapers talking to grey-cloaked people as well. So we believe the Organization is conspiring with the Reapers." Harmony reported. Gaku widened his eyes when he heard Harmony's report. "Funny. I believe a couple people in this group, including me, found one of the Reapers spying on us on one of the towers on the way here. It's likely they know where we are at." Gaku said. With that in mind, Gaku turned to Joshua. "Yo Josh, mind telling us what's going down Underground? I battled one of the Organization members and she dropped the Player Pin. Seems like some Reapers are conspiring." Gaku stated. Harmony heard Soul introduce himself awkwardly, and he has trouble remembering things. "It's Harmony Yasuragi, and I think we met before at the Academy. Didn't Sora tell you what you was sent here for?" Harmony asked.

Harmony listened to Tatsumi as he gave advice to the newcomers. When she heard Tatsumi warn the newcomers to stay away from Lubbock if he has a goofy grin on his face. She looked at Lubbock whose face had a wide smile towards the direction where Harmony and Verona were standing. Harmony looked down at herself to see if she had something on her, but came to realization of what Tatsumi meant. I should've known! Why is there always have to be a pervert in a group? Lubbock has another thing coming if he thinks he can lay his hands on me! Harmony thought with mad look on her face.

I did a little searching throughout reddit, and rumors (which may be true) state that for the Chunin Exams filler episode at the first week of January will be a filler ARC. Basically, the same situation as Anbu Kakashi arc, with both arcs being canon. This means that we will be left with a huge-ass cliffhanger after Christmas. . . ON CHRISTMAS!! You know what's gonna happen on Christmas? manga spoilers The studio stated that there will be no fillers this year (Clever little bastards tho. They made a lot of filler content within canon episodes), but they didn't say anything about next year tho. If you don't want your spirits going down on a happy Christmas Day, I would recommend not watching Naruto Shippuden on Christmas. Just watch it the next day.
