	| First| Prev | Next |Last | Love Situations #9 "Su-Cool 9" (Story Arc: Su-Cool) | First| Prev | Next |Last | "Su-Cool 9" by Akira (2005-12-14) There is a manga written by Etsuya Mashima (website) called "KoiNeko" published in "Sunday GX" magazine where main heroine, Nao, is "Su-Cool". I bought a manga and it has a very interesting setting. I thought it was difficult to create a story with "Su-Cool" character because she expresses herself streightfowardly and there is no room to bring in any tension (for example, misunderstanding and misjudgement) into a story. But making a main heroine a little kitty who can turn into a girl does brings an interesting twist to the story. The main character, Shinta, knows she is the cat which he takes care of and feels little hesitant stepping forward into a relationship with her (like kissing). It's like "Romeo and Juliet" of human and cat version. And beeing a cat who doesn't know about human tradition explain why she acts like a "su-cool" character too. She says something like "I like to be on top of your lap", "I was with him last night in his room" in front of classmates ^_^; The story itself is quite cute and I really liked it. (reference).

	"Iyasakado" by Totaku (2005-12-15) To all of those who were waiting for my rant yesterday, I apologize for the delay since I had ran into some problems with the computer yesterday that cause my computer to shut down every few minutes, so I had to simply wait till today for it to be fixed. Anyways, today's rant will be on another flash site called Iyasakado. This flash site is filled with alot of interesting art pieces as well as some really cool flashes. The artist does alot of mecha style art work and the style he uses sort of makes me think of a cross between Studio Ghibli and Metal Slug put together. Alot of the stuff he makes are very uniqule animated war machinary as well as instudrail age type scenery. It's worth checking out. ^^ His flash section, Steel Fantasia is where most of his good collection of lfashes he has done. most of the flashes are nicely done and very well animated. (Don't worry you don't need to read them to understand them...well most of them at least.) From his list, a few of my faves is This nicely animated war flick and This funny little misadventure that a mouse and dog go through with a machine company. Anyway fill in your comments about the flashes at the forum Until Next time...Ja Matta! ^_^
