My LOVE for Eyeshield 21 cannot be textually rendered! It is the one series that brings me constant and consistent joy without falling into a deep, black hole of major suckage. Just finished reading chapter 322, and OMFG! Just OMFG!!!! ( Match Spoilers )

Have caught up to Katekyō Hitman Reborn!, just finished reading chapter 235… um, ( Character appearance spoilers ) I have also come to the realisation I don’t actually have ANY idea how the rings or the boxes work. Just absolutely none; every time they attempt to explain my eyes GLAZE over and my brain shut down. As far I’m concerned the rings and boxes are elementally aligned MAGICAL boxes that does MAGICAL things. This is very strange for me as I’m one of those really annoying nit-picker shounen-readers who expect internal consistency when it comes to the powers. I think this says a great deal about what I think of this series as a whole.

Read 10 volumes of Ookiku Furikabutte; SPORTS manga, you never fail me. While I quite enjoy the series, I do admit the main character Mihashi have NOT endeared himself to me in any way, shape or form. However, ABE! I LOVE you ABE! I’m unsure whether I’ll follow this series as there just isn’t enough going one with Mihashi to keep me interested. Oh, well.

Watched several Jonas Brothers interviews and performances… um, I think Korean boybands have spoiled me completely. I went into the interviews expecting some MAJOR pretty, major talent, some awesome personality traits and enough FANSERICE to make the world IMPLODE. I was sadly disappointed… while Joe is pretty and quite amusing I find Nick (?) and Kevin (?) rather meh. Actually that is not the complete truth; I find Kevin hilarious but not that physically attractive, and while I think Nick have potential I find him trying too hard to be what he isn’t for me to be that interested. So, it is with much regret that I must let go of a potential fandom full of awesome crackness.

So, I have read approximately 250 chapters of Air Gear during a time span of 3 days (this is amongst doing work, soclialising, and watching a copious amount of Super Junior M clips. Sleep is for the weak). And OMFG! I LOVES Air Gear, it is so COMPLETELY insane and over the top, and just so pretty, AND I went through several Aizen-ala-Bleach-like trauma during my mainlining of the series.

There are many points during the series that my brain went "Oh!Greato-sama, you are showing your issues again." Yes, at times I get flashes of Tenjou Tenge, but I enjoy Air Gear much more. Don't get me wrong AG has its share of psychopaths with sadomasochistic tendencies, but its main characters off set the sociopathic tendencies by being really awesome. It is hard to explain but there is this level of energy and almost innocence that TT just didn't have.

( where the spoilers comes into it )

I'm SO HORRIBLY addicted to this series it is kind of insane.

ETA: So, does anyone have a copy of the following anime series?
- Air Gear
- Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann

The former because I'm curious, the latter because despite the fact I have only seen 2 episodes of this series I am very curious.

Air Gear is eating my brain, I need more of this manga. It is really not that much of a surprise for me to like the series, I mean, it is written by OhGreat (he of the great HENTAI!). However, unlike Tenjo Tenge I like all of the characters including the lead. So far, the series is not as hentai as TT, but I'm only at chapter 54, I'll give it time. I am, however, really surprised at the amount of ghei in this series (both the implied and the overt).

( Spoilers )

I want more of this series.
