Naruto Shippuden anime September schedule!

The Pain saga ended with an interesting twist and it was awesome as we finally saw Naruto being recognized by his village.

Looks like we are going to deal with fillers and one week delay without our favorite series due to a Pokemon Black and White special airing in the same slot.

But they're pre-time skip fillers related to what just happened in the last episodes, developing Iruka-sensei's character, so they will be great this time, bringing back the nostalgia of the good ol' Naruto days!

September 2 - Iruka the Novice Teacher

September 9 - Iruka's trials

September 16 - Iruka's determination

September 23 - no episode

September 30 - Jounin in charge Hatake Kakashi

Thanks to Niko^ from Narutofan forums ^_^

New Baka to Test OVA in the works

Shonen Ace magazine has announced that an OVA of this awesome series, adapted from the light novels by Kenji Inoue, is currently in production titled as 'Baka to Test to Shokanjyu' and it will come out next year along with the second season.

This is an amusing high school tale about a boy named Akihisa Yoshii, the 'idiot' (baka) of Fumizuki Academy, a rigid institution that separates and classifies their students by their rankings and qualifications. All students have the ability to summon a being called Shokanju, or Avatar, in order to battle to get the facilities of other classrooms.

The classes are divided from A to F, and while Class A is filled with the best students and their classroom has air conditioners, fancy seats, and such privileges, etc, the state of Class F is the complete opposite of that, leaving much to be desired.

Yoshii meets a girl named Mizuki Himeji, who suffered from a fever before an important test, which got her a zero and demoted inmediately to class F. They elaborate a plan together to take over the high ranks.

I show the panties which are loud for a classmate to the time that Nayu Hayama which I entered fell over the top in private Ohnan Junior High School on the entrance ceremony day. When three people fell down all together from stairs, as for Yako Jinguuji and Haruka Shiraishi which came in contact with her to check the truth of "the compensated dating scandal" of such Nayu, Nayu watches the figure which can brighten eyes to panties of oneself who looks from a skirt rolled up. In fact, she who did even advice in Haruka on the spot was the slightly different girl who was just absorbed when it comes to underwear.

Nayu starting the fight decides the establishment of the club "underwear region" to study right underwear without thinking the underwear which neighboring people took the wrong to be able to arrive. It was Nayu which failed once, but I get Haruka, Yako and cooperation of Hiroki Komachi and Tamaki Mizuno of the teacher and establish "an underwear club" by a problem newly. This story is a story to struggle while chief character / Nayu which is apt to be prejudiced against because of the image why the underwear lasts asks each body importance of correct underwear.

George Ludway

The great, unknown Ludway. Sexy curves, appealing proportions and great flowy brush lines. Like Bob Tupper he spent the bulk of his career hacking for the Sex to Sexty mags, but at his best in the early 1960's, he's pretty fantastic.

Reiki at a Catholic Hospital?

For the May issue of the New Oxford Review, I did a cartoon to go along with an article by Hurd Baruch detailing the curious goings on at a Catholic hospital. Apparently some of the nuns there practice Reiki on the patients. To read another example of how the adherents have traded in the Faith for some New Age, hop on over to the NOR site:

This was my first contribution to the NOR; more will be done on an occasional basis.

Son Goku Cartoon Wallpaper

Saint Seiya: is Kagaho of Bennu the previous encarnation of Ikki of Phoenix?

With the great success of The Lost Canvas, the prequel series of Saint Seiya with an original spin has continued to gather the excitement of fans, old and new alike.

There has been quite a controversy over the web on the matter of the coincidences and similarities between Kagaho and Ikki.

The imagery is obvious and speaks for itself:

Having almost the same armor, the same looks, their renegade and reckless attitude.

The author, Masami Kurumada, and the co-author of the Lost Canvas series, Shiori Teshirogi, have neither confirmed or denied if Kagaho is in fact, Ikki's previous life.The constelation of Bennu represents the Egyptian myth version of the Phoenix, the celestial star of Violence, need I say more??

But as we know, mangakas will always prefer to leave things open.
