Since I will soon be reviewing anime and manga for a popular website, I decided to do a quick post about five older series to introduce to fans of newer anime, or even those who are just looking for an introduction series.I made a point to choose each from a different genre so that comparing them to one another would be difficult.I also made sure that they were at least a decade old.I would have gone for much older series, however I just don't see a newbie watching Galaxy Express 999 without falling asleep, or Ranma 1/2 without feeling very confused.No offense to either of those mentioned.They each have merit in either artistic presentation or pure nostalgia depending on who you ask.However, what I am looking to talk about are accessible series with tangible story lines.I want to talk about relatable protagonists and villains that are recognizable as something more than a throwback from a saturday morning in the 80's.

Con-G is proud to welcome Scott McNeil
Con-G is proud to welcome Scott McNeil to it's 2014 guest roster!!
Scott McNeil hails from Vancouver, Canada by way of Brisbane, Australia. He started acting at the age of three and hasn't (his mom would say) stopped since. Spanning over two decades and including over 12,000 episodes, Scott's voice career began with The New Adventures of He-Man way back in (gasp) 1988. He is perhaps best known currently as Duo Maxwell in Gundam Wing, Koga, in Inuyasha, Piccolo (the first) and many others in Dragon Ball Z, Dinobot, Rattrap, Waspinator, and Silverbolt in Beast Wars, Jetfire in Transformers Armada, and Wolverine in X-Men: Evolution, As well as Hohenheim in Full Metal Alchemist, the deeply neurotic Merb Stork in StormHawks, the amazingly inept Voltar in League of Super Evil, Ali al Satchez in Gundam 00, and the inanely musical Flam in My Little Pony

Reading Roundup
Just like I do with movies I'm going to start reviewing some of the things I read during the week. This may include novels, manga, comic books or anything other thing I might pick up. There's no way I can cover everything as I tend to read a lot of stuff but I'll try to pick out those that leave an impression on me. Good or bad.
1. NONNONBA
This is another manga by Shigeru Mizuki. After devouring his Showa: A History of Japan I was craving some more of his work. This another psuedo autobiography and details his early years growing up in Japan. The focus this time is on his relationship with Nonnonba, an elderly neighbor who served as a kind of grandmother to him. It was she that introduced him to the world of yokai of which the majority of his manga work is about. In fact even this work if filled with the crazy yokai creatures! Again I loved every minute I was reading this. His writing style is fairly simple yet the small moments, such as those with his father, can have some serious meaning. His cartoony art style is also very appealing and gives the work a timeless quality. Many of the stories found in this one are also in the Showa: A History of Japan but in a truncated form. It was great getting the full stories this time around especially the one about his first encounter with doughnuts! A truly wonderful read and easy to recommend to anyone, even those unfamilar with manga.

Keupee BubbleTea Surabaya (Review)
Hi guys! HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR for all of you who celebrate it! ^^
A short story about me and my family : My dad and my mom are from Pontianak, where chinese people are the majority population..Since I was a little kid, we would always go back to Pontianak to celebrate Chinese New Year with the big family where everyone gathers.. Granma, Granpa, Uncles, Aunts, Cousins, the celebration was really huge there, fireworks everywhere, barongsai and dragon shows, it was just really nice celebrating Chinese New Year in Pontianak with everyone.. But as time goes by, I stop visiting Pontianak on Chinese New Year, I think since I was in high school.. Because the airplane ticket is really pricey to ship everyone and the holiday is only for one day, I couldn't keep skipping school.. Besides, I have almost none relatives here in Surabaya, so I haven't been celebrating it for ages.. But usually my dad is still going back to Pontianak every year, it's just in his blood.. So yeah, this year, just like any other year, I just call my mom, my dad, and my only granny, greet them, ask them how they've been, and that's it, lol..
Anyways today I want to share with you another recommended place to hangout in Surabaya :KEUPEE ^^
