The Gamers World- World Of Warcraft TCG !!

For those unfamiliar with the game setting, it simply goes like this- In a mythical realm called Azeroth, there’s all sorts of strange but familiar races (but not too familiar that it violates another mythical realm’s copyrights) whom joined up into two groups for easy classification to decide who to poke with swords and whom to share their evening meals with: Red vs. Blue… I mean the Alliance, consisting of Humans, The purple skinned Night Elves, stocky Dwarves that speak with a Scottish brogue and other humanish types while there is the Horde, with their Orcs, Trolls, Minotaur-esque Tauren and Undead Zombies. In the card game, like the parent title, you play an adventurer belonging to one of those groups and allies to sooner or later kick the teeth out of the opposition.

"Paradise Kiss"- Preview

Anime and manga in the US all too often gets grouped into at best a handful of categories, and at worst, two: shonen and shojo. As such, a lot of folks would say Paradise Kiss is a great shojo title. However, it's a bit misleading to say that. Not the great part, as Paradise Kiss is one of the best anime released this year in the US, but the shojo part. Those expecting Cardcaptor Sakura or Full Moon Wo Sagashite, or even something a little more subtle like Aishiteruze Baby or Kodocha are going to be disappointed. Paradise Kiss is a great josei title - a contemporary, witty drama about a high school romance set against a high-fashion backdrop, so little kids aren't at all going to be enamored of it, but that's fine as josei titles are aimed at teenage girls and young women, and for that audience it works wonderfully. In fact, if you're a teenager or a twenty-something who has ever experienced a crush - male or female - I'd be surprised if this anime title didn't resonate with you at least little.

Paniponi Dash 1

Series: Paniponi Dash V1: Lethal Lesson is tentatively a show about a brilliant teacher that takes her degree from MIT and moves to Japan in order to teach at a run of the mill high school. The catch (you knew there'd be a catch, right?) is that the teacher is an 11 year old girl and while she may indeed be very intelligent, she has all the emotional instability of a female (err, an eleven year old girl) in a class filled with an odd assortment of nutcases. Her name is Rebecca "Becky" Miyamato and she has an American father and Japanese mother (neither of whom is in the first volume of the series) but has long blonde hair with pink highlights, big eyes, and the usual mannerisms expected of a gal her age. Her class is populated by a cheerleader type (Himeko Katagiri), a cold bully (Rei Tachibana), a book worm (Miyako Uehara), the classroom president (Miss Ichijo), and a number of other stereotypes found in anime. The creative concept came from a four framed manga comic in the Gekkan G Fantasy Series as published by Square Enix (hence the multitude of references to their videogames in the show) but the animating of the panel art into an actual anime series required a lot of conceptual manipulation.

Japanese Festival Celebrate Utah Heritage

THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE-Each fall, Utahns flock to Salt Lake City to celebrate Japanese culture. Sponsored by the Japanese Church of Christ, 268 W. 100 South, the annual Japanese Fall Festival serves as a reunion of sorts for church members and their neighbors and as a fundraiser. "It's always nice to have these festivals," said Al Kubuto, member of the Japanese Church of Christ. It "brings back our congregational members and their friends to the church to renew acquaintances." The festival dishes up a wide variety of entertainment options, including homemade Japanese food, dancing and proper kimono-wearing, martial arts and games and classes. Bernice Kida, who was one of the lead dancers at this year's festival, dressed the part in authentic Japanese attire. "This is the Michizure dance [I perform] - a stage dance to entertain people," Kida said. "My friend's instructor has to teach me the culture." A festival regular, Steven Major and his wife turned out for the yearly gala for a taste of cultural diversity. Luke Choi, the church's pastor and his wife, Jenis, shared violin and guitar-praise songs with everyone in attendance. "The Aki Matsuri [Japanese Fall Festival] is to support our Christian mission through the festival that celebrates our unique culture," Luke Choi said.

Ninja Nonsense

Summer has come, and the students and Headmaster at the Ninja Academy Shinobi attends suffer from the oppressive heat. A visit to a secret water hole takes a dramatic turn for the worse when an unexpected problem arises, but that’s nothing compared to the fuss over Shinobi’s kid sister Miyabi possibly having a new boyfriend. Later, Onsokumaru’s bold statements about how well he’d handle Hell are put to the test, but he manages to return to tell ghost stories and oversee a festival involving a Bon Odori dance. After the festival, an approaching typhoon leaves Onsokumaru and the male students in a pickle when Shinobi happens to be visiting her friend Kaede’s house at the time, but they endure sufficiently well to go out mushroom-hunting afterwards. Along the way they encounter a group of ninja cadets from an all-girl ninja academy, one whose Headmistress is a former classmate of Onsokumaru.
