End of Katekyo Hitman Reborn Manga

As you may, or may not know, one of the famous manga that is serialized in Japan's Weekly Shonen Jump Katekyo Hitman Reborn is coming to a end on November 12th 2012. The manga has been running since 2004 with 40+ volumes and with more than 400 chapters. However as fans we should have all seen the end of the manga coming from the more recent chapters. It's sad that this manga is coming to an end especially if it's about a Japanese teen and a baby mafioso (something you don't see everyday).

Anime Revolution 2012

August 17-19 2012 @ Vancouver Convention Centre

ABOUT ANIME REVOLUTION

Anime Revolution is a brand new three-day convention located in Vancouver, BC. It caters to a wide range of activities, exhibits, panels, and performances. These include art, animation, comics, costuming, cultural displays, dance, gaming, musical performances, and others. The goal is to provide people of all ages with entertainment, education, and cultural exchange.

Impression

Anime Revolution has definitely reunite us during the never ending summer break. The event was quite enjoyable, especially the main events and the panels. One of the main events, the walk off, is definitely the most amusing show that I have ever seen in conventions. We also had the time to happily spend our money. It is almost impossible to not buy anything after entering the exhibition hall. This is mostly because the amazing art works, dvd collections, and manga resources they had. I bet most people will not resist to "happy spend their money" at the dealers hall. This is going to be one of the cons that we will never forget!

The Summer Festival 2012


July 21, 2012 @ SFU Burnaby, Convocation Mall

About The Summer Festival

The Summer Festival is an annual event hosted by the Altered Reality Club, SFU’s club for anime, cosplay, and gaming. Modelled after matsuri festivals in Japan, They deliver a day filled with carnival-style games, entertainment, artist and vendor booths, and food stalls. Participate in these fun activities for raffle tickets which can win either one of several door prizes, or the exciting chance to smash a watermelon on-stage! Attendance is absolutely FREE. They encourage cosplay or yukata!

Impression

The festival was quite entertaining, especially the contest. It is worth travelling one and a half hour to get there. I saw a lot of awesome cosplays and met amazing people. Their carnival-style games also handed out raffle tickets that have a chance to win great prizes. Moreover, there were a lot of awesome anime flyers such as poster, buttons, and arts. Even though I was a little disappointed about the fact that they don't have panels, I still had a lot of fun there.

Anime Evolution J-fest 2012

July 14, 2012 @ Douglas College

ABOUT                        J-FEST

J-fest is part of Anime Evolution, the premier event for anime, manga, gaming, and every kind of related fandom, in Vancouver BC. They invite passionate fans to this particular event where they will all share time discussing common interest.

Impression

After going to both J-fest ad Sakura-Con, I was shocked to see the differences. J-fest is a totally different type of convention. It is not only smaller, but also simple. However, I was quite fond of this experience. The panels were seriously great, especially the finals. The panel, "Who's line is it Anime?", is definitely something funny and exciting. I was glad that I brought my sister along with me. Moreover, the cosplays were amazing. I saw series of fantastic cosplays that I never seen in the big conventions. J-fest is a nice and neat festival that is good for people to have fun.

As everyone is wondering what I have seen there, here is a photo album from Facebook taken by one of our member, Yiwei Dai! Hope everyone will like it.

Trauma Quantum Crystal Impression

Alternative Title:

BLUE - Story (Spoiler)

Trauma Quantum Crystal is a nice dramatic action manga. It contains series of humorous scenes when the main character, Tokitou, undergoes numerous dilemmas. Tokitou is one of my favourable character who expresses the quality of man when the time stopped. Aoki introduced the characters by the following abnormal events. From time stop to monstrous creatures,  the series of supernatural events lead present of the character called Sakazaki. Her character and personality is somehow odd in the way that she is continuously convincing Tokitou to believe her. Because of the receptive of the word "Trust", it made me to doubt her.

It sure was something to when the quantum crystal watch was introduced. It has special ability to transform into a powerful weapon that may has the ability to change time. Just how powerful are those weapons that can kill a gigantic creature coming from nowhere!

Overall, I think the art was well drawn and the story was very creative, especially the Tokitou's action from the first few pages. The hook of the story is created with the involvement of these interesting characters. Most thought-provoking words that were written on the cover is "We are the ultimate abnormal humans!" Latter on in the series, we can probably find some kind of connection between these characters. What is does it means by "abnormal humans"? What is going to happen next?!

BLUE - Story (Spoiler)

Here we come to the end of the arguably the biggest M of manga history! MM! manga series have also be known as Emu Emu! by other popular manga sources. The manga describes the story of the main character called Sado Tarou is trying to get rid of the "problem"with his body. The story is highly humorous and ecchi. It entertains people with the Sado's ultimate Mness. In the end when Sado overcame his "problem" by losing his memories; however, it led to our dissatisfaction which perhaps result in the end of the manga. The final twist of its fantastic ending is with Sado's Mness return. The story suddenly fall into its proper place and everything is quickly sum up. Matsuno created a happy ending that most people will hopefully enjoy.

I enjoyed the technique used by Masuno by using the sudden twist. It was quite entertaining once it is present with the return of our beloved Big M! Overall, I think the story made an excellent example of the both irony and twist. The storyline is also quite acceptable unlike the other manga just went without explanation and clarity. I highly recommend the manga once the english translation is out.

HOPE YOU WILL APPRECIATE OUR TRANSLATED SPOILER BELOW.

FINAL REALIZATION

THE NAKED SPIRIT OF M

THE BIG M RETURN!
