The Shinsengumi welcomes a new member to their group - master swordsman Ito Kashitaro. Despite the fact that he is very good at bringing positive energy to the troups (via flattery!), he gives the higher-ups (including Sei) the absolute willies (in fact, every time he shows up they get goosebumps and run away). Not only is he very feminine and overly dramatic, the man also enjoys hitting on people - including Sei. This spells bad news for her secret, especially since she's been assigned to share a room with him! But at least Todo is back!Didn't really get worked up for this volume. If my Japanese history was better I'd probably be more interested, but as it is, I'm treating it as a "filler" volume (like you can really have one with this series XD).
Douglas Yancy Funnie has no incredibly special qualities. He's not half-ghost. He doesn't have a pair of wacky fairy godparents (though he does have a dog who thinks he's practically human) at his beck and call. He doesn't live under the sea. He's just a normal 12-year-old boy going through normal, REAL things and writing (or drawing) about it in his journal. From adjusting to a new environment, to getting your crush to notice you, to working through low self-esteem, this middle-schooler charmed his way through every episode dealing with these issues with silent wisdom. Doug was Nickelodeon's very first Nicktoon (and you may be interested to know that his voice is provided by Billy West of Futurama fame), so if you're only familiar with what the channel is today, perhaps you should step back in time for awhile and see what you missed. It's very cute and fun, and you can't leave feeling anything but good, no matter your mood when you started. But if you're looking for outrageous situations and computer slick animation, look elsewhere.

It's very good - doesn't really look at all like a "legal bootleg" (as some have called them). The casing and DVD covers are nice. Audio and video are excellent and worked fine on my DVD player and computer. I don't have a fancy stereo setup so I can't tell you about how it would work there, it's probably "mono." However, the menus are plain and to the point, with absolutely NO extras (cast interviews, TV commercials, etc.) - so don't expect them when you buy.So, despite the rather unreasonable price, it's worth the purchase if you're a fan. You're showing support and telling Nickelodeon you want them to release the last few seasons. So get to it! BUY IT HERE at Amazon

From TokyoGraph:
It has been officially announced that Morning Musume's next single will be a cover of the Pink Lady hit "Pepper Keibu." The decision stemmed from Ai Takahashi and Risa Niigaki's appearance in NTV's biographical drama special "Hit Maker: Yu Aku Monogatari," in which they played the popular '70s duo.
The "Pepper Keibu" cover goes on sale September 24. The new version is said to be more danceable than the original, and the music video will feature all nine Morning Musume members dancing in Pink Lady outfits. The coupling song for "Pepper Keibu" will be a cover of another song written by Yu Aku - Hiromi Iwasaki's 1975 hit "Romance."
Then on November 26, the group will release a Yu Aku tribute album called "COVER YOU," supervised by Hiroshi Itsuki, who joined Up-Front Agency earlier this year. The album includes a cover of "Izakaya," originally a duet between Itsuki and Nana Kinomi, but this time Itsuki will be paired up with Ai Takahashi instead.
Keep in mind, I'm referring to the cartoon series.
BxL fandom, I'm not saying you can't exist. I'm not saying you should burn any and all ideas of them coming together from the internet, your head, and the whole world.
But frankly, you creep me out. I'm not creeped out by the fact that Beetlejuice is very much DEAD. It just feels... pedophile to me. Not only is he hundreds of years older than her (even if you ignore that, he's still a fully grown adult - if he was around "her age," I guess it wouldn't technically be as big a deal), she's what, 12 years old? At least that's how it looks in the cartoon. It's less wrong, I suppose, if you age her to about 18, or 21, or even 30. As she is now, I don't like it.
So when you write fanfiction where Beetlejuice harbors passionate love for Lydia, or draw "luvy-dovey" fanart, or post a fan video on youtube featuring romantic lyrics and images of them hugging in the show... it... creeps me the heck out. Sorry.
Archie comics will be releasing a special Christmas album on September 16th. The track list, along with furthur information, isn't known at this time.
