Hello!
Good morning my name is Zhong Lu and I will be blogging for anime diet on the manga series Naruto, Bleach, and Full Metal Alchemist.
I finished the most recent chapter on Naruto. What do you think will happen next? Your guess is as good as mine. I think Tobi (aka Uchiha Madara) is telling the truth but he’s leaving out important details. I read chapters 220-225 about Itachi’s relationship with Sasuke before the massacre and it corroborates Madara’s story: Itachi was a kind loving brother until he received a mysterious order from ANBU. Furthermore, after the massacre Itachi never kills anyone in battle even though he had several chances to kill others such as Kakashi in their first fight in Konoha. Finally, if Itachi truly wanted the eternal Mangekyou he would not have fought Sasuke until he had developed the Mangekyou too.
I think the next arc involving Sasuke will be about his attempt to confirm or disprove Madara’s claims. Anyways, I’m really looking forward to chapter 400 on Friday. Thank goodness Japan’s “Golden Week” is over.
100+ more chapters to go in Bleach (at the rate of one chapter per week that’s two years in real-time) before the climatic fight between Aizen and his espada versus the captains and lieutenants of Soul Society. Aaaarrrgghh! Ah well, more money for the creators of Bleach. In the meantime what do you think has happened in the first six flashback chapters? Is Aizen doing the killing? Back then he was evil too.
I read the manga on FMA and it’s very different from the anime. The manga and the anime diverge significantly after the Greed arc. The manga has more characters. Some of them like Ling and May, are from faraway countries. My favorite character is May: with her big round eyes, her happy, cheerful mood, and her jealous miniature panda bear, she’s the cutest!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww!
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
And she’s powerful too!
Code Geass R2 Episode 6–Let the Good Times Roll
Nietzsche was wrong: God is not dead, but the emperor is planning on killing God to fix that mistake.

Kaiba 4 - The Little Prince(ss)?
I was trying to figure out why, with this episode in particular, this series felt strangely familiar. That’s when it hit me: structurally, Kaiba is beginning to resemble Antoine de St-Exupery’s fable, The Little Prince. (Full text and illustrations of The Little Prince can be found here.) That would help explain the increasingly episodic feel of the story thus far and even some of the art style.

Art and Soul 4: Anglican Vampires, Oh My!
Art and Soul 4 (AAC) [6:51m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (91)
Art and Soul 4 (MP3) [6:51m]: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download (18)The anime, religion, and ethics audio column returns after a long hiatus! This time, I’ll be tackling the burning question: why is the Hellsing Organization so insistently Anglican? Does it have anything to do with the real Church of England? Or is it all part of an elaborate Japanese fantasy?
This is not a very serious article. Please don’t put me on a heresy trial!
Full transcript follows after the cutaway.
