Uzumaki Naruto Profile



Uzumaki Naruto atau lebih akrab dipanggil Naruto merupakan seorang anak yang bandel, caper, energik dan juga pembuat onar. Ia merupakan anak dari seorang Hokage, yaitu Hokage 4 (Minato Namikaze) dan ibunya bernama Uzumaki Kushina. Nama Naruto diambil dari karakter utama dalam novel yang dikarang oleh Jiraiya. Meskipun bandel dan caper, namun Naruto sebenarnya sangat kesepian karena ia ditakuti oleh teman-temannya di akademi, karena sebenarnya ia adalah Jinchuriki (inang) dari monster berekor 9 (Kyubi) yang telah menyerang desa. Saat itu, hanya beberapa orang yang mengakuinya, Iruka, Kakashi, Hokage 3, Sasuke, Sakura dan anggota Konoha 11 lainnya. Sebenarnya ia adalah anak yang baik, berusaha keras dan pantang menyerah.

PENAMPILAN
Naruto merupakan seorang anak berumur 12 tahun (pada part I) dan berumur 16 tahun (pada part II), ia berambut kuning serta berpakaian berwarna oranye (tidak tahu kenapa). Naruto juga selalu mengenakan celana panjang dan pelindung kepala Konohanya sebagai kebanggannya.

KEMAMPUAN
Naruto memiliki stamina serta chakra yang tinggi, karena ia merupakan Jinchuriki Kyubi. Namun, pada part I ia belum terlalu pintar untuk menyusun strategi. Pada saat itu, kemampuannya adalah menggunakan kagebunshin untuk bertarung. Ia mampu membuat ratusan kagebunshin, karena chakranya sangat besar.

Kagebunshin milik Naruto

Pada saat bertarung melawan Kiba dan Neji, ia memakai trik-trik bunshin yang menyamar. Seperti saat ia menyamar menjadi Kiba dan Akamaru. Kemampuannya untuk menyamar sungguh strategis dan cepat.


Naruto menggunakan Rasengan

Naruto juga mempelajari jurus hebat yang hanya bisa digunakan oleh ayahnya dan Jiraiya, yaitu Rasengan. Rasengan membentuk bola chakra yang jika dikenakan bisa membuat kerusakan yang cukup hebat. Selama pada movie-movie Naruto, ia telah mengembangkan banyak rasengan, seperti rasengan tujuh warna, rasengan gelel dan rasengan Shion. Naruto juga mengembangkan sendiri rasengannya bersama Yamato dan  Kakahi menjadi rasengan yang sangat dahsyat yaitu RasenShuriken. RasenShuriken dapat menimbulkan kerusakan tubuh yang sangat parah pada korban, namun penggunanya juga akan mengalami kerusakan tubuh yang sama, meski tak separah korban.

Futon : Rasenshuriken

Pada part II, Naruto lebih pintar menyusun strategi dengan mengetahui kelemahan musuh dengan bunshinnya. Seperti saat melawan Kakuzu, ia melibatkan tubuh aslinya dalam bunshinnya.

 Chakra Kyubi Naruto

Naruto kadang jika marah, chakra Kyubi dari dalam tubuhnya keluar dan menguasai tubuhnya, sampai selama ini rekornya sudah menguasai Naruto sampai 8 ekor pada saat melawan Pain.

 Gargantuan Rasengan

Naruto juga menguasai Senjutsu, semacam teknik menggunakan energi alam. Sehingga memungkinkannya menggunakan RasenShuriken lebih banyak. Selain itu, di pulau di Kumogakure, Naruto belajar mengendalikan Kyubi dari Bee. Dan Naruto berhasil mengalahkan Kyubi dengan bantuan Spesial RasenShuriken dan Gargantuan Rasengan.

LAIN-LAIN
Tekad Naruto sekarang adalah menyelamatkan Sasuke yang telah terpengaruh kegelapan. Namun, Sasuke pun menjadi sangat kuat dengan mata transplantasi dari Itachi. Naruto saat ini sedang belajar mengendalikan chakra Kyubi agar dapat mewujudkan impiannya. Pada akhirnya Naruto berhasil mengalahkan Kyubi, meskipun kebencian Kyubi merasuki Naruto, tiba-tiba muncul ibu Naruto, Uzumaki Kushina.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters on GMA. Hell no.

 Joey: Tell me this is not happening.
Tristan: It is happening.
All: *Gasp*

I was waiting for Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger to air on GMA, while I was waiting for it by watching Hunter X Hunter: Greed Island, I was rather surprised on what they announced. This April, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters will air on GMA. WTF?!

Based on the how they dub the narrator and Yami Yugi/Atem, it will suffer the same fate similar to Cardcaptor Sakura, a show that once aired on ABS-CBN. As we all know, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters aired on ABS-CBN, Studio 23 and Hero TV, and all these stations are owned by one guy.

GMA Anime Block Fights Back!

 Will GMA prove that they are Philippines' Premiere Anime Authority? This case is just brewing.

GMA has this tradition of announcing their new anime shows during the Holy Week and from the shows that they announced last year, only 4 aired. Now, GMA announced that they will air Shin Mazinger Z, the live action adaptation of Detective Conan and new episodes of Pokemon (Probably Battle Frontier onwards), Doraemon and Detective Conan.

Considering their current anime achievements namely: they were able to air the first half of One Piece’s Water 7 Arc, Bleach’s Arrancar and Huenco Mundo Arcs, the last Hunter X Hunter OVA, Hajime no Ippo: Champion Road OVA and currently, they are airing Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger under the Knockout! Title, I have a baaad feeling about Shin Mazinger Z. Considering that they were not able to finish the original Mazinger Z according to this article.

At the end of the day, the big question is, can they prove that they are the premiere  ANIME AUTHORITY here in the Philippines like what they said? Or the brand the Anime Authority title is just a misnomer for them?

Some Random Rare Find.

I had a hard time looking for this old Super Sentai article from all the issues of K-Zone Philippines that I had at home. So, I will share my effort. Just click the link below for you to read the scanned article. :)

Mark Bagley, one of my favorite artists after his run on Ultimate Spider-Man, did the pencils for the cover and single interior scan from JLA #41.

I like John Cassaday's cover for The Lone Ranger #20. The guy in the pic is actually The Lone Ranger's friend Tonto.

This post concludes with three scans from Justice League: Rise and Fall Special. The first two spotlight Green Arrow from the front and the back. The third scan seems to be tailor-made for a certain blog. The credits for this comic list three different people for pencils but no page numbers. As such, I don't know who actually did these pages.

Seriously, I am Addicted to Final Fantasy VI Soundtrack.





The complete Opera Scene Soundtrack as seen on Final Fantasy VI. It clearly justifies Nobuo Uematsu's brilliance in music scoring.

A Reason Why Kefka-sama is Better than Sephy.



This line was first said in the final battle in Final Fantasy VI and this was Kefka-sama's trademark line.

The Manliest Hare Hare Yukai Version... Yet.



Post title says it all, yes, that's the live action Minoru Shiraishi from Lucky Star's Lucky Channel section singing it. I am not joking.

Di[e]ce

Di[e]ce is a manga series written by Saki Otoh and illustrated by Yamamoto Kana. It seems to be about two guys with the same birthday who find their fates intertwined. At least that's what I got from the page on Baka-Updates.

Even if I don't know a lot about the manga, I do know that Yamamoto's artwork is gorgeous. Also, it looks as though this title has yet to be licensed for release in America. Enjoy some more pics from the manga below.

K-On! Animax Asia English Dub. Seriously, This Review Will Be Over... Quick.


I didn’t watch the recorded K-On! Episode 1 English Dub like a regular radio drama since in my opinion, it’s the best way to see if the dub is good. Here’s a reeeeeally quick review about the English dub of the show that aired on Animax Asia.
To those interested to watch, here’s the first episode.








To be honest, the only characters that have a decent dub are: Miss Sawako, Mio and Mugi, the rest were, well, below par from the original Japanese dub. Ritsu’s voice doesn’t have that forceful feel like in the original dub. Yui’s voice sounds too mature for her personality. But overall, decent.

So, what’s your opinion about the English dub?

Kamen Rider Amazon: Sayonara, Jyumenki. Enter, Emperor Zero!

Since I am in a verge of cramming for my Finals, I decided to finish the last episode of the first half of Kamen Rider Amazon today… and saw probably, one of the most bloodless fatalities in the show. Screw moral guardians, they ruined realistic deaths!

On this episode, we it continues on what was left on episode 13, Dobsonfly Beastman has turned into a cocoon and became missing thus Amazon and co. is on search of the cocoon before it will get hatched. Based on the title, and that is, “The Ten-Faced Demon Dies! And a New Enemy?” we already got the clue on how this episode will end up but the problem is, how the writers will execute it? And boy, I was surprise on how they did it.I thought Amazon would just go to Gedon’s hideout and kill Jyumenki BUT what they did is the classic betrayal scene with a big a offer involved kind of thing, I think you already had an idea who will betray Gedon.

One thing I liked about this episode is that how the first introduce Great Emperor Zero. Yes, he was introduced shadowed that adds up to his appeal and gave the first impression that he is badder than the Ten-Faced Demon.

After Amazon learned how to speak properly thanks to Masahiko, FINALLY after 14 episodes, Amazon calls his attack! Yep, he finally says Dai Setsudan/Big Slice but the only downside, like the episodes after Amazon wears his first shirt, Jyumenki and Dobsonfly Beastmen’s deaths have no green, blue or red blood spurting out from them, but hey, Jyumenki died with a blast! Plus, Amazon is back in mutilating his opponent’s bodies!

But even with the blood special effects gone, I can’t wait how the second half of the show will turn out.

Cutest. Anime. Theme. Cover. Ever.



Words can't express how kawaii this Doraemon Theme cover.

This Week on TV5 Animega: A Week of Endings, A Start of a New Series.

This week, Toradora! will have its series finale. Will Taiga reveal her true feelings for Ryuji for real? Will Ryuji realize that she loves Taiga? A lot of questions to be answered this week!

Another ending… sorta. Masked Rider Hibiki will end its first half this week. To those who don’t know, when Hibiki aired in Japan, episodes 30-Last had a different production team, thus changing a lot of elements that were established in the first half that caused the actors that loved the show AND fans to run amok on Toei.

Starting on March 25, like reported earlier, Golgo 13 will premiere replacing Toradora! on the 7pm timeslot. Can the assassin with an alias based on Christ’s Crucifixion make a big impact on Pinoy anime fans that don’t have the slightest idea who the hell is Golgo 13? All I can say is, stay tuned!

Another Reason Why I Miss My Childhood...



All I can say is, I miss these guys on my TV. :( Chojin Sentai... JETOMAN!

Mass Effect 2: Commander Shepard

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire

HFG returns to the world of Mass Effect 2 with a post focusing on the main character, Commander Shepard (the male version, of course). This is an interesting character to cover because his appearance can be altered by the player. From what I understand, you can't change too much but I did try to avoid the homelier Shepards I've seen out there.

All of the pics in the post are either screencaps from YouTube videos or official art. It's unfortunate that (as far as I know) we never see Shepard with his shirt off like we do Jacob Taylor.
