Before school ended, I couldn't wait for the summer to come, as I knew that I wouldn't be so stressed out. However, now that it's actually summer, my life's been anything but less stressful. Like seriously, I'm constantly getting headaches now, and I can't even get more than four hours of sleep every night.
Lately, I just haven't been up to do anything. Not because I don't want to, but because mentally, I just feel like absolute garbage. I don't know what's wrong with me, but I'm afraid to tell anyone, because the last thing I want to do is spend time at the doctor's office, or even worse, the hospital. If this keeps up for the next couple of weeks, then I'm going to have to talk to my psychologist about things.
Anyways, school officially got out on the seventeenth of June, which means that I've been out of school for exactly a week now. For some reason, it seems like I've been out of school longer, so I guess that's a good thing. I ended up getting my last report card of the year today, and my final results weren't great.
My sophomore year of high school couldn't have been any worse. I easily had the worst teacher I've ever had in algebra, as well as some really difficult ones in a numerous of other c.lasses. For junior year, I've got some really great teachers. How do I know that? Not only do I know most of them, personally, but my math teacher was my tutor for sophomore year, while my history teacher was my JV soccer coach last year. I also don't have much summer work to do this year, which is definately a positive thing for me.
Ever since school ended, I've been looking for jobs. Unfortunately, the one at Target didn't fall through. Right now, Anton's Cleaners and Hannaford Supermarket seemed to show the most interest in hiring me. In fact, I expect to get one of those jobs by the end of the week. Whatever the job may be, I'll be glad to work for them, as I'd rather do anything than sit in front of my computer for hours on end.
This weekend, my mother, my sister, and I, plan on going up to New York. I haven't seen my grandmother in nearly a year, and she'd probably get angry at me if I didn't make the trip up there this time. I believe she plans on returning home with us, as well, since she claims that she has "nothing" to do at home. Hopefully, I'll get the ROH DVD I just ordered soon, so that I can watch it on the way there.
Just today, one of my friends invited me to a Pearl Jam concert on Saturday. With that being said, even if I don't wind up going to New York, then I'll get the chance to see one of my favorite bands for the first time. The main reason that I'm not ecstatic about going is because I don't feel comfortable being around my friend late at night, since I know that he smokes frequently. I'm totally against drugs and alcohol, so if he does any of that stuff around me, then I'm taking off. LOL.
I expect July to be a much better month than June was, since the final episodes of Avatar: The Last Airbender are airing, and I'll probably be employed by then, as well. Basically, as long as I can keep myself busy with things, then I'll start feeling better than I did before. As stupid as this sounds, I think that doing nothing all day is the reason for my head feeling like crap.
Today's POTD is a screenshot from the last episode of Avatar: The Last Airbender that aired in the United States. I believe it was called "The Day of Black Sun". For those who don't know already, Nick will be airing the remaining episodes of Avatar all week long, starting on the fourteenth of July. Avatar is the only remaining show that I still watch on Nick, so after the series is finished, I'm going to leave behind loads of memories. Nevertheless, I'm still really looking forward to seeing the episodes on television.
From now on, I'm going to try and write blogs much more frequently. That is, until the summer's over, anyways. I hope that you all enjoyed reading this blog. Good-bye, my friends. Expect to see a new write-up from me soon.

I'm home alone right now. My mother's working, and my father and sister went to a soccer game. Right now, I'm using my sister's new laptop, which is something that she'd definately be angry about. With that being said, I hope to finish this blog up before she and my father return home.
At this very moment, I'm watching the new episode of Blue Dragon on Cartoon Network. To be honest with you, I thought I'd like this series much more than I currently am. Sure, it's pretty good, but I don't know if it's really my type of my series.
I don't entirely blame this on Blue Dragon, however, I blame it on myself. As of recently, I've been really picky about watching new cartoon and anime series. While some, like Chowder and Chop Socky Chooks seem to be pretty good series, I just haven't had much desire to check them out. To be honest with you all, I really think that I'm starting to lose interest in cartoons. I guess that's just part of becoming older, though. As of right now, Death Note is the only cartoon that has me hooked. Not to mention, that's targeted towards an older audience.
As you could have already guessed, wrestling and school have really been the biggest things on my mind lately. Television is something that I'll watch every now and then, but I just won't enjoy it as much as I used to.
My final exams in school begin on Wedneday and will end on Friday. Testing was also supposed to happen on Monday, but my biology teacher was nice enough to not give us an exam.
It's really hard to believe that another year of school has passed by me yet again. Next year, I'll be a junior already. I swear, it feels like I just entered high school, a few months ago. It just goes to show you that you have to enjoy life as much as you can when you're younger. The thought of me possibly never seeing my friends again is awfully saddening.
Last year's summer was pretty fun, but I really didn't do much, other than playing Diamond on DS with my cousin. The online play for that game really did kill a crap-load of time. This year, on the other hand, I'll most likely be working at Target daily, along with getting in my driving hours, so that I can finally start hitting the road via motor vehicle.
Another thing that I'm definately going to start doing is weight lifting. I plan on joining the wrestling team in the winter, and definately need to bulk up a bit. Even though I'm nearly six feet tall, I only weigh around one-hundred twenty, and am pretty scrawny. I've got a lot of fighting experience from taekwondo, so I'm not worried about my form. However, form only goes so far, when you're a small kid. LOL.
I don't tell this to a lot of people, but I plan on becoming a professional wrestler once I get out of high school. With that being said, I can't expect to be successful in that profession if I'm skinniest man in the entire sport. Then again, maybe I could make a gimmick out of that. Just kidding.
Today's POTD is a screenshot of the new and upcoming game for the Nintendo DS, Viva Piņata: Pocket Paradise. I used to be a huge fan of the cartoon on 4Kids TV, so I'm really looking forward to this game. I heard how awesome the original game was for the Xbox 360, so there's no doubt in my mind that Rare's going to create another awesome game. The game is currently scheduled for a September release, which means that I'll have more than enough time to beat Liberty City Stories.
By the next time I write a blog, I'll probably be out of school, which easily leaves me with a grin on my face. By that time, I'll probably also be employed, so I'll have some pretty good stories to share with you all. Until next time, take care, everyone.

My life's pretty much been going the same, since my last blog, but I decided to throw one up, due to the fact that I'm really not doing anything right now. I'm going to try and stay loyal to the topic title I used, so let's start off with my recent progress in school.
School hasn't been the greatest, as of late. Nearly all of my teachers are trying to rush in last minute exams, so that we can finish up the curriculum by the end of the year. I've always been a pretty slow learner, so I'm starting to fall behind in several of my c.lasses.
This past week, I ended up getting my mid-quarter report card. My parents said that I got a few C's, but other than that, everything looked pretty good. To be honest with you all, I actually thought I was doing much worse than that. Right now, I'm not that nervous because I know that if I keep working hard, then I might be able to bring up my grades before the school year ends.
Another thing that's been bothering me is the fact that my math state exams begin on Wednesday. If I don't end up passing the test, then I can't graduate. I always get anxious and nervous when big tests like this come up. My tutor and I have been reviewing a lot of material, so hopefully, I'll be good to go by Wednesday. Wish me luck, guys.
As of late, I've been spending more time than I usually do on eBay. Even though I was enjoying the games, I decided to sell three of my Wii games: Madden NFL 2008, MLB Power Pros, and Showtime Championship Boxing. The reason I got rid of them is due to the fact that I just simply am not finding the time to play them. I ended up making over sixty bucks for all three of the games.
After recieving my payment, I immediately bought Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories for the PSP. Since the new GTA game was just released for the PS3 and 360, I decided to get my hands on an older copy of the game. My friend let me borrow his copy of Liberty City Stories last year, so I'm quite familiar with the game's controls. I can't wait to play the game again. Even though the morals of the game aren't great, it's truly a spectacular series.
My last topic of today belongs to wrestling. Friends, I know a few of you guys couldn't care any less about the sport, so if you're not interested, you can just scroll down to the end of the blog. I'm sorry about including wrestling talk in every blog, but as of late, it's become a big part of my entertainment side in life.
The e-federation I wrote for, Sixstar Wrestling Federation, ended up closing down, a few weeks ago. This was a mutual decision made by myself, along with the two other writers. The reason for putting it on hiatus is solemnly due to the fact that we're just getting burnt out from writing week in and week out. We're expecting it to be back by mid-summer, so keep your eyes peeled.
I've also been continuing on with my wrestling diary (I believe I had already started it when I posted my last bog). So far, people seem to be really enjoying my ideas. Within the past month, I've changed my character bases so much that they range anywhere from an Ultimate Muscle character to Joey Ryan. If I had to choose one thing that I find the most entertaining thing to do on the internet right now, in all honesty, it'd have to be the diary.
Today's Picture of the Day is a photograph of one of my favorite basketball players, Ray Allen. Allen was playing phenominally during the regular season, but ever since the play-offs started, he just hasn't looked the same. Tomorrow night, my home team, the Celtics, are going to be taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers in game seven. That means if the Celtics lose, they're eliminated out of the NBA Championship chase. Right now, the Celts aren't playing great basketball, but I'm really hoping that they can pull off a huge win over Cleveland tomorrow afternoon.
Right now, I'm in absolutely no mood to do homework, so I'll probably start some of it by tonight. I'll talk to you later, everyone. With that being said, I'll probably watch the latest Angry Video Game Nerd video, as soon as I'm done finalizing this blog post. Thanks for reading, everyone.

The last time I even considered writing a blog was in mid-April. With that being said, I'm awfully sorry. I love reading everyone's comments and whatnot, but I've been really stressed out over the past few weeks. I revealed a really dark secret (one that I refuse to tell you guys) to my psychologist last week, and ever since then, I just haven't felt the same. Hopefully, I'll start feeling better soon.
I was on my April vacation this past week. Truthfully, I didn't do too much, but it was also my birthday during that time span, so I got to spend a little time with my family members, including my grandparents from Florida. So far, being sixteen-years old has pretty much sucked for me.
One thing that I have been excelling in is track. I've proven to the coaches that I'm one of the quicker runners on the team, and have several decent times for proof. During the break, after not running too much, I lost a little bit of my speed, so I've been working hard to get back into decent shape again.
Since I'm on the topic of sports, I went to five taekwondo c.lasses this week. Normally, I only go to about two, but this week was an exception, due to the fact that I had a stripe test this morning. In all honesty, I felt as if I did horrible on the test. Then again, maybe I'm being too harsh on myself. I should be able to find out my results on Monday. If I ended up passing the test, then I'll be taking another test for my black belt in August, one that I've waited for close to five years of intense training.
Moving back to my April vacation, I recieved my report card. I hesitated opening it at first, but eventually, I decided to just take my grades for what they were. Surprisingly, my grade point average was a 3.01, which means that I made the honor roll for the first time this year. I haven't been so happy about my school grades in months. Hopefully, I can continue to keep my grades up.
Things that I've been doing to keep myself busy, as far as entertainment goes, have been watching television and playing video games. Some of the television shows that I have been watching daily are wrestling, Digimon: Data Squad, Death Note, and The Office. As far as video games go, I've been playing lots of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with MLB Power Pros. I ended up getting Madden NFL 2008 and Showtime Championship Boxing from my uncle for my birthday, but I refuse to play them, until I've beaten MLB Power Pros.
In order to kill some time on the computer, I also started a wrestling simulation diary, in which Bryan Danielson is the owner of the promotion. So far, lots of the members on the forum that I posted it on seem to love it. In fact, it even won the "Diary Spotlight" award for this week. I'm really enjoying how everything's going so far.
Today's Picture of the Day is the DVD cover of the movie, Cloverfield. Tonight, my aunt, uncle, and cousins are coming over, so I'm hoping that we will be able to watch Cloverfield together, since I've been wanting to see it for a while now. If not Cloverfield, then we'll probably be watching Juno, a movie that I love, but I've already seen. So either way, the end of my Saturday night should be nice.
I'm sorry for the rather short blog post, but I'm not in a huge typing mood right now. Hopefully, I'll be up to posting another blog within the next couple of weeks. Thanks for reading, everyone.

I promised that I'd make a review blog for the Ring of Honor show I went to, the day after I went to the event, so I guess the time for that blog is now. With that being said, if you're not a big wrestling fan, then I suggest skipping this blog, as you probably won't find it very interesting.
___________________________________________
Erick Stevens defeated Roderick Strong, El Generico, and Rocky Romero to earn an ROH World Championship match later in the show (***1/4) - Pretty good opener, which got the crowd on their feet. I was really hoping that Generico was going to win, so I felt pretty let down when Stevens got the win. Nothing against him, but I'm pretty sure that the crowd would've liked Generico/McGuinness better.
Jason Blade defeated Mikey Bennett (*1/2) - This match wasn't even on the original card at first. As soon as the crowd heard the YRR's entrance music, they got pretty pissed off. Thankfully, the match was short.
Eddie Edwards defeated Jigsaw (**1/2) - You know, I've never been a huge fan of Edwards, but the Boston crowd loved him. By the end of the match, I became a fan of him. During the match, Larry Sweeney came out and watched on, thus distracting Jigsaw and allowing Edwards to hit his finisher for the win. After the match, Sweeney congratulated Edwards and announced that he was the newest member of the Sweet 'n Sour Inc. Crowd went wild after they heard this.
Jack Evans and Ruckus defeated the Briscoe Brothers (***1/4) - I'm pretty sure that my cousin thought this match was the best of the show, but only because he was familiar with Ruckus' and Evans' work from WSX. They got a "welcome back" chant, as Evans has been injured for the past month, and also, Ruckus was just recently in the hospital with pneumonia. Evans won the match after the 630 Splash on Mark. I was pretty pissed off that Gabe would think about putting the Vulture Squad over the Briscoes, but whatever.
Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious, and Pelle Primeau defeated Chris Hero, Brent Albright, and Larry Sweeney in a tag-team elimination match (***1/2) - The match started off rather slow, but really caught pace during the later parts of the match. Shortly after Delirious and Primeau were eliminated, Claudio pinned Hero with the Ricola Bomb. Sweeney left Albright in the middle of the ring, making it a one-on-one bout. Albright and Claudio really made this match come together, as there were plenty of nearfalls. Claudio pinned Albright with the Ricola Bomb, as well, after several uppercuts couldn't finish him off. Just a tad bit long, but nevertheless, an excellent match.
Davey Richards defeated Kota Ibushi (****1/4) - My favorite match of the night, easily. I'm probably rating this match way too high, but I don't care. Michael Nakazawa (for Ibushi) and Rocky Romero (for Richards) were at ringside, which added a pretty nice touch to the match, as well. Ibushi did some pretty amazing things, right in the beginning of the match, and gained a lot of people's respect by the end of the bout. Richards surprisingly made Ibushi tap to the Kimura Lock for the win. I really wanted Ibushi to take the cake, but there's nothing that I can to about it.
Nigel McGuiness defeated Erick Stevens (***1/2) - Before the match, Roderick Strong attacked Stevens, which really wore him down. Nigel told Stevens that he understood that he couldn't write tonight, as he had to do the same, during his ROH World Championship reign. McGuiness then began dissing him, which made Stevens furious and they started up the match. I knew that I wouldn't find this match very interesting, as Stevens can be a pretty bland wrestler at times. Nigel won with an arm submission. Not a bad match, but it definately could've been better.
Kevin Steen defeated Necro Butcher in a Boston Massacre match (** 3/4) - No doubt about it, this match didn't live up to its hype, which made many feel disappointed. Every time you thought there was going to be a spot, it got ruined. Towards the end of the match, things started to get good, but they cut the match far too early when Necro tapped to the Sharpshooter in barbwire. I really thought this was going to be an early MOTYC, but whatever. If I watch the match on DVD, maybe I'll change my mind.

If Aries were to have wrestled last night, I'm pretty positive that this show could've been at least five times better. Lots of the exciting, original matches were made into tag-team matches. Then, they threw together some crap squash matches in the beginning of the show, which was really unnecessary. Why Danielson and the Age of the Fall weren't signed for this show is beyond me.
Some of the key highlights of the show weren't in the ring, but instead, outside of it. I saw TNA president, Dixie Carter walking around, along with Michael Nakazawa and Kota Ibushi, up close, after the show was over. I would've definately stayed to get Ibushi's autograph if I was by myself, but my dad was in a real rush to get out of there. Also, I bought a Kevin Steen shirt.
In conclusion, this show was no where near as good as "Proving Ground", but it was still pretty exciting. ROH will be returning to Boston in September, so I'm going to try and go to that show when they return, as well.
Just to quickly step away from everything wrestling-related for the moment, I winded up purchasing MLB Power Pros at GameStop last Sunday. It's a really fun game and I'm quite happy that I bought it.
Today's POTD is a picture of the shirt that I bought at the ROH show last night. Out of all of the wrestlers I saw last night, my favorite wrestler was Kevin Steen, which is why I bought the shirt. I'm pretty sure that he's also my father's favorite ROH wrestler. I'm actually wearing the shirt right now and I'm really digging it.
Well, that's all for this week, guys. I'm making my Confirmation tomorrow, so I've got to finish up with all of my homework by tonight. This weekend, I've got a ridiculous amount of work to do, but I may find a way to pull it off in time. I plan on posting another blog by the end of the month. Thanks for reading, everyone.

I promised that I'd make a review blog for the Ring of Honor show I went to, the day after I went to the event, so I guess the time for that blog is now. With that being said, if you're not a big wrestling fan, then I suggest skipping this blog, as you probably won't find it very interesting.
___________________________________________
Erick Stevens defeated Roderick Strong, El Generico, and Rocky Romero to earn an ROH World Championship match later in the show (***1/4) - Pretty good opener, which got the crowd on their feet. I was really hoping that Generico was going to win, so I felt pretty let down when Stevens got the win. Nothing against him, but I'm pretty sure that the crowd would've liked Generico/McGuinness better.
Jason Blade defeated Mikey Bennett (*1/2) - This match wasn't even on the original card at first. As soon as the crowd heard the YRR's entrance music, they got pretty pissed off. Thankfully, the match was short.
Eddie Edwards defeated Jigsaw (**1/2) - You know, I've never been a huge fan of Edwards, but the Boston crowd loved him. By the end of the match, I became a fan of him. During the match, Larry Sweeney came out and watched on, thus distracting Jigsaw and allowing Edwards to hit his finisher for the win. After the match, Sweeney congratulated Edwards and announced that he was the newest member of the Sweet 'n Sour Inc. Crowd went wild after they heard this.
Jack Evans and Ruckus defeated the Briscoe Brothers (***1/4) - I'm pretty sure that my cousin thought this match was the best of the show, but only because he was familiar with Ruckus' and Evans' work from WSX. They got a "welcome back" chant, as Evans has been injured for the past month, and also, Ruckus was just recently in the hospital with pneumonia. Evans won the match after the 630 Splash on Mark. I was pretty pissed off that Gabe would think about putting the Vulture Squad over the Briscoes, but whatever.
Claudio Castagnoli, Delirious, and Pelle Primeau defeated Chris Hero, Brent Albright, and Larry Sweeney in a tag-team elimination match (***1/2) - The match started off rather slow, but really caught pace during the later parts of the match. Shortly after Delirious and Primeau were eliminated, Claudio pinned Hero with the Ricola Bomb. Sweeney left Albright in the middle of the ring, making it a one-on-one bout. Albright and Claudio really made this match come together, as there were plenty of nearfalls. Claudio pinned Albright with the Ricola Bomb, as well, after several uppercuts couldn't finish him off. Just a tad bit long, but nevertheless, an excellent match.
Davey Richards defeated Kota Ibushi (****1/4) - My favorite match of the night, easily. I'm probably rating this match way too high, but I don't care. Michael Nakazawa (for Ibushi) and Rocky Romero (for Richards) were at ringside, which added a pretty nice touch to the match, as well. Ibushi did some pretty amazing things, right in the beginning of the match, and gained a lot of people's respect by the end of the bout. Richards surprisingly made Ibushi tap to the Kimura Lock for the win. I really wanted Ibushi to take the cake, but there's nothing that I can to about it.
Nigel McGuiness defeated Erick Stevens (***1/2) - Before the match, Roderick Strong attacked Stevens, which really wore him down. Nigel told Stevens that he understood that he couldn't write tonight, as he had to do the same, during his ROH World Championship reign. McGuiness then began dissing him, which made Stevens furious and they started up the match. I knew that I wouldn't find this match very interesting, as Stevens can be a pretty bland wrestler at times. Nigel won with an arm submission. Not a bad match, but it definately could've been better.

Eon Kid The Grand Wrestling Tournament Avg Score: 9.00 Total Ratings: 5 Total Reviews: 1 |
If you know me well enough, you'll know that I'm a huge wrestling fan. Ironically, I'm also a big Eon Kid fan, so when I heard about this episode, I got really excited.
Just as expected, I enjoyed this episode more than any other episode in the series thus far. The action and intensity was all there. With that being said, let me go through a quick run-down of what happened in this episode.
Because Marty has been captured, Orange Mama tries to make money off of Marty by entering him in a wrestling tournament. If Marty refuses to cooperate with Orange Mama, then she explains that she will turn him in.
Without any other options, Marty unwillingly enters the wrestling tournament. His first opponent is a martial arts master named Ssambo. At first, Ssambo overlooks Marty because he's just a kid, but when Ssambo notices that he's starting to lose, he pushes it up a notch.
In my opinion, the most notable highlight of the match was when Marty clamped onto Ssambo's leg, but he reversed it by kicking him into the turnbuckle.
The match came to a finish when Ssambo went for an illegal spike knee drop, but Marty turned the tables around when he turned into Eon Kid and punched him in the face with his Iron Fist.
Marty is declared the winner and the crowd goes wild. No one expected the newcomer to defeat a former champion, after all.
In my opinion, I thought that this was the best episode of Eon Kid to date. The wrestling tournament will probably continue in future episodes, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how Marty progresses.

Avatar: The Last Airbender The Beach Avg Score: 8.87 Total Ratings: 486 Total Reviews: 118 |
The episode began with Zuko, Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee unwillingly going to Ember Island for a short vacation. The reason for this is due to the fact that Fire Lord Ozai is holding a restricted meeting with his confidants.
When they arrive there, they head over to a beach and all four of them attract some serious attention. The girls love Zuko and the boys love Ty Lee. There's also a pretty funny scene where Azula is talking with a boy, but she ruins the conversation when she begins talking about world domination.
Meanwhile, Aang and the rest of the gang are chased by a muscular man who is working for the Fire Nation. His ability involves shooting beams from his head. Unable to defeat him by strength, Aang outsmarts him and escapes with help from Appa.
Towards the very end of the episode, Zuko, Azula, Mai and Ty Lee begin confessing things that happened during their childhoods. As they're doing this, Zuko explains that he's angry at someone. The group continuously asks him who and out of much frustration, he yells himself. When they ask him why, he explains that he is confused.
The episode comes to a conclusion when the Fire Nation crew burns down one of the boy's house, who was giving them trouble earlier that evening.
It's hard to explain a lot of the funny parts that happened in this episode, so you'll just have to see it for yourself. Other than that, what made this episode so great was the confession circle at the end. If you're an Avatar fan, I highly suggest seeing this episode. It's one of the best new episodes to date.

Dinosaur King Bungle in the Jungle Avg Score: 8.37 Total Ratings: 3 Total Reviews: 1 |
The episode begins with Max and Chomp playing hide and seek together. Max is trying to test Chomp's sense of smell, so he hides in a closet. Within minutes, Chomp finds him and Max is very impressed. However, Max then realizes that Chomp was only interested in the dog food that was also in the closet.
Minutes later, Max's father calls him, along with Rex and Zoe. He explains that a Saltasaurus has been spotted in the Amazon Rain Forest. The three of them immediately head off in search of the dinosaur. However, moments after they arrive there, they notice that Chomp has dissapeered.
Max goes off into the rain forest in search of his friend, while Max and Zoe look for the Saltasaurus. By the end of the episode, Max is being attacked by the Saltasaurus. However, Chomp comes to his rescue and manages to defeat it.
In almost disbelief, Max realizes that he has just captured his first dinosaur (other than Chomp). When they arrive home, Max's dad explains that the Saltasaurus was not attacking him, insetad it was observing a lizard because it thought it was part of his family.
I thought that this was one of the better episodes of Dinosaur King to date. I'm really excited that Max managed to get a new dinosaur and I hope that he ends up using it in future episodes. I'm also interested in seeing what it's small form is going to look like.

Tak and the Power of Juju Woodiefest / Loser Avg Score: 8.16 Total Ratings: 17 Total Reviews: 4 Users who agree: 1 |
When I heard that the video game series, Tak and the Power of Juju was going to become an animated series, I was thrilled. I never got a chance to play the games, but I thought that they sounded and looked really interesting.
I had very high expectations for the series premiere and the pilot episode met them pretty well. All of the characters seemed to be very unique and the animation is also really nice (very similar to the video game graphics). The only major flaw was that the episode storylines were a little bland. I was hoping for something exciting, but it didn't really have that.
Although there were a few corny jokes, I couldn't help grinning at a few of them. For some reason, I love shows that have a lot of this kind of humor (i.e. Johnny Test).
I'll most likely continue watching the series, regardless of the first episode's rather boring storylines. I have a feeling that Tak and the Power of Juju will get better as time goes on.

Dragon Drive D-Break! Avg Score: 8.22 Total Ratings: 5 Total Reviews: 2 |
As I watched this episode, so many memories of the anime flowed through my end. For example, the time when Reiji met with Chibi for the first time.
I must say that this was one of the best series finales I've ever seen. The emotion and the drama was all there, especially when Reiji had to give away Chibi to Meguru.
At this point, Kouhei is being controlled by Shinyru and the only thing he wants to do is destroy the two worlds: Earth and Rikyu. Of course, Reiji is up to the challenge to try and defeat him. In the prophecy, Senkoh Coola (Chibi) defeated Shinryu and brought all the worlds back to peace. With this in mind, Reiji believes that he must repeat history.
With the help of his friends and the determined mind of Reiji, Chibi is able to blast away Shinryu. With this done, all of Reiji's friends must say farewell to him, as most of them are from Rikyu. As expected, Reiji has a hard time saying good-bye to Chibi.
Overall, I thought this episode was fantastic. It sets a perfect example of how a series finale should be. Things seemed to be a little bit rushed in episode 37, but you could tell that the writers really took their time on this one. The true theme of this anime is even through the hardest times, you should never give up.
