A Look Into A Pitch III

Well school is about to start for me in the next three days, so I think I should have this post be about something I enjoy to write about. Since some crazy things have happened to me a day ago (I don't want to write about it, but if you want to talk about it I will be more than happy to share). So to help take my mind off it I'll write about this and listen to some good anime tunes on my itunes (thank you internets). So without further adue I bring you another look into a pitch III.

A simple Chinese restaurant in the small city of Los Palmos. It is called the "Red Star Cafe", on the surface it looks like an ordinary restaurant one that caters to both families and bussiness men alike. Inside are your typical Chinese waitresses dressed in traditional Chinese dresses and bouncers in White shirts and ties in the bar area and private areas. This restaurant also serves as the base for a Chinese Triad, however it is run by Chu Lynn who highly resembles a modern day Robin Hood and is Sasami's father. The triad uses highly trained female solidiers also known as the Dragon Women. They were ex-Chinese Special ops with intense amounts of military training (more will be written about these women later). Their boss was thier former leader and transported all his troops to America once the unit was disbanded to begin a new life.

If you hadn't guessed by now those waitresses are the former soldiers, they've got enough feminine charm and military training to defend themselves. As for the bouncers they're the former instructors and the boss's inner circle. Thier group helps keep the balance of harmony in the community of Los Palmos, by secretly executing anyone who moves into thier turf, selling weapons or upholding justice. They're modern day merry men in the cloak of shadows.

If you're wondering how this all fits into the story Marc becomes a bus boy for the restaurant. When he wins Sasami's freedom in a match in the fight club, the two have a coincidental meeting since Sasami is a waitress (she's also a Dragon Lady who specializes in machete combat) in her father's restaurant. So thus the two's relationship builds from thier jobs. Eventually Marc's fighting capabilities are displayed to Boss Chu when he takes on a rowdy gang trying to get some "service" from the waitresses (one of which is Sasami) and he promotes him to Bouncer, but along with his busing duties ;;^^. I got inspiration for this group from Hotel Moscow from Black Lagoon. Since I thought it was cool that they were ex-paramilitary who became a mob. So that's it for now next time the Dragon Women batalion and secret abilities of the S-ranked hunter L.T.

People who remind me of characters from anime and some anime moments

I've done this several times before, sometimes I don't remember what I write half of the times. But while my life is much like a big school life anime, there are people in my life that remind me of characters from anime. First up is my older brother. He reminds me of Hatori from Fruits Basket, because he wants to be a pharmacist only Hatori is a doctor. My bro may seem cold and uncaring sometimes (which is ironic for Hatori since he's a doctor) but he's cool most of the time, it just takes some time for him to show it. Plus he has to put up with two annoying family members with me and my little brother. Since we're both like Shigure (me) and Ayame (my little brother). So he's the one who keeps us both in check and yells at us when we annoy him. Also my brother and I resemble Jack Hofner and Rowe Rickenbacker from L/R: Licensed by Royalty. Where Jack has all the style and brains and Rick is slow but just as clever. My brother's Jack and I'm Rick. Just don't ask who's L and who's R, it's whichever you want.

My cousin reminds me of Yui from Lucky Star because she's so energetic sometimes for an adult. She and I talk from time to time because she went to Long Beach as well (she was the one who told me about aacf) since whenever I answer the phone and it's her we talk about random stuff. Plus they both wear glasses and stop by for a random visit from time to time.

Now time for some anime moments. I had a dream one time where I went by the alias "Lelouch" which if you watch the right anime like me you know who this is. When I woke up I was like omg I'm offically obsessed and when I write about this people will laugh at me via comments (all two of you or even three, four?). Another time was during this past semester where I sat with other fellow anime enthusists from aacf and we discussed anime we've watched and debated events in past episodes. It was a scene straight out of Genshiken (again watch this anime and thats my life in a nutshell more or less).

Well thats the end of this post. Updates will be kind of spotty from time to time since I've got a busy semester ahead of me. But check back from time to time for more rants, anime pitch ideas (next time I hold a suggestion post please participate), looks into my said pitch ideas and even women (you wish, all two of you). So keep reading.

A Paradox of Love

Now that I've done four straight weeks of characters from my anime idea (people must secretly hate me for it sometimes, but they're fun ideas and fun shouldn't be a crime) and a serious post. I feel that it's been quite some time for a topic that some readers enjoy (all two of you =P). I recently saw an ad on Facebook (the internet at its finest), if you can guess it was about "the things men do wrong when it comes to women" or some sort of shorter title like that. Now as some of you know or at least two of you, these creatures called women intrigue me so much that I wrote a research paper this past semester about feminism and Valentines Day. So to further advance my understanding of the feminine mystique (a good book too, trust me I've read it) from a male perspective I clicked on said ad.

First topic that was addressed: women don't go for nice guys. Yes tis true, it's like the Legion of Doom zapped all of earth's population with some backwards ray constructed by Bizarro. Now if you've actually went back and read some of my beginning posts, I mean the ones where I was a senior in high school it all goes back to what the "walking cliche" (read it I love what I wrote about that girl) was talking about. It would appear that women don't go for nice guys like me. Now there's fairly good reasoning behind this all. Apparently women don't go for nice guys because they can't see themselves forming a lasting relationship with him. So it's kind of like they'll always remain at the "really good friend" level so why bother damaging such a perfect relationship.

So it's ranting time again, *I'm going to say some pretty intense things (I'm not going to swear I promise) and I'm not mad so skip down if you don't want to hear some mindless ramblings. So basically what I've just read (I didn't read the entire article after that) is that being nice is a bad thing when it comes to a relationship. So all the things that Hollywood and anime have been spoon feeding us in terms of that the meek will always attract women in a unique way is wrong. So that famous line in Hitch that there is always a hidden potiential for any two people to get together is a bunch of crap and Will Smith is full of crap too since this line combined with this so called logic would utterly destroy the world of relationships as we know it. Also I don't think that any woman would go out with a arrogant jerk just because he seems like he would hurt himself if not for the sensitive foil known as his girl friend being there for him. Also if women want an aggressive man then they should all go and date or marry rapists because rape is a stressing of dominance and all the feminists groups would have to perform a male genocide to utterly destroy men.

*End rant. Now don't get me wrong I'm sure women have a perfectly good mindset when it comes to relationships and who am I to judge. I'll admit you can be a nice guy yet do nothing when it comes to relationships. It's kind of like getting up the courage to confess, a nice guy like me it's terrifying and probably would destroy us to get rejected. who'd want a guy like that? I guess it's being able to take up the lead in the relationship for the guy and for him to be agressive in where he wants it to go and such. I just want to say that there has to be a place for kindness in a relationship or even in those potiential ones since they're not about power but about love. In terms of myself, I'm really polite and kind to girls despite the fact that I still think Chivalry is kind of overrated (fun fact: my anime idea Asus Rapt: Assassin of Royalty stemmed from this) and sometimes I get really shy around them (like I mentioned before that's the cute thing about me so don't tease me about it ;;^^). Overall, I respect women and care for my friends of the opposite sex. I'm not sure what they think of this or about what they think about this post in general, but I hope that they feel blessed whenever they see the kindness I show towards them.

I've been told a lot that I've got a strong line, good bait and that I should start casting before my lake becomes a ocean or sea. But the question I guess I'm beating around is if my bait is good enough? Who knows maybe it is or maybe it's not. Maybe one day I'll finally get that catch and make that girl happy.

A Pitch III Movie Idea

Well it was a fun four weeks of getting to know the 8 current S-ranked hunters of Demon Savior. Which builds into this idea, you've met them and now it is time for them all to meet each other. So I present the first of the two Demon Savior movies.

To become an S-ranked hunter one must complete 100 A through E ranked operations each, get 100 referrals from any of those clients and complete one S-ranked operation. Such a task is only achieved by a select seven members in the world. Six months have passed and Ryo has just completed all the tasks to become an S-ranked hunter. Now that a 8th S-hunter is inducted, a special job is now offered. Ryo having just attained the rank is approached by a arms group specializing in biological warfare and is offered a SS-ranked operation with a bounty at 60,000,000,000 credits. At the same time the other S-hunters are given the same operation, all take the offer. An SS-operation requires at least 8 S-ranked hunters in order to be taken. With little time to pat himself on the back, Ryo is quickly taken to the bounty hunter guild to meet the seven most skilled hunters in the world.

Their task to destroy a new bio-weapon created by the group. A weapon involving the development of a new deadlier class of Blood demon. Ryo's knowledge of the blood demons knows that this is a job that must be done. The other S-hunters agree with Ryo and accept the operation and expect a big payday as well. L.T., Puppeteer, Warpath, Beholder, Haxx, Gretel, Creed and Chaox fight against a breed of demon the world has never seen. But with the 8 deadliest hunters in the world no criminal or creature is safe.

Demon Savior: The Blood of 8

EX-File: S-ranked hunter rank 9:
Name: Naoki Asai
Codename: Angel Eye
Country of Origin: United States

Another hero who needs no introduction. The human vessal of the angel Iris. Like Ryo, she too can transform into Iris seamlessly and take down demons with ease. Achiving the S-rank a few years after the appearance of Lilith (the next movie idea?) she becomes the third female S-hunter. An expert marksmen with a custom W2000 rifle, she is currently the rival to Tristan when it comes to a sniper fight. It is said that when she is behind the scope time seems to slow down and all targets are taken out. That is the ability behind her codename, the angel eye. A unique power that only Iris has and that allowed her to become an archangel. However it is not a power that controls time, but a power that heightens her reflexes. A fearful hunter nonetheless and one of the next proud members of the S-hunters.

Who is to Blame?

A serious post now. Nobody's perfect, I know that all too well. I guess one of the things that I do is beat myself up for somethings. I'm not going emo if that's what your thinking so I don't cut myself to feel better or do drugs. It's more or less like an inferiority complex like a self loathing. Now I'm proud of myself most of the time, but I guess if I had to put a time where this problem started it was during junior high school. I always felt that things were always my fault. So I kind of blame things on myself for any bad things that happen. I think my bitterness came from all this hatred that I was exposed to. I everyone picking away at me made me think that I was a pretty bad person for a while. So I began to blame myself for any bad things that happened.

However, I just want to say this that I'm trying to get over blaming myself for things that I have no control over. So I don't want this post to sound like some kind of suicidal post because its not and I just want to say something that's been put on my heart. It's kind of like a sermon that I heard at church a while back. We live in a world where we try to justify things not being our fault. We always try to devert the blame to someone or something else as some kind of defense mechanism. It all ended with sometimes it's alright to say that you were at fault. However it shouldn't end there, just because you say it's your fault doesn't mean you shouldn't learn from it. I feel that I have grown a bit over the few years. I have people who can shed tears with me, I can talk to for prayer (this one is to one of my readers you know who you are) and those who love me for who I am.

It's difficult we try to make ourselves less of the cause of a problem instead of saying that we were all in it together. I guess it's in human nature to try to make it so that we make ourselves look better than others when it comes to problems. But anyways when it comes to problems blame isn't something that should be held by one person it should be distributed even to come to one solution.

S-Ranked Files: Hunters 7 and 8

S-ranked hunter rank 7:
Name: Jonas Rapt

The name Rapt sends fear to all high class targets. Jonas Rapt, the descendant of a long line of aristocratic assassins. like L.T. little is known about his origins. A true professional and highly sought after for his expertise on taking down S-ranked targets. He has proven himself to be the true heir to the name Rapt. All his techniques and skills are passed from generation to generation. Each generation improving or evolving the techniques from those patented by the legendary assassin of royalty: Asus Rapt.

A hero who needs no introduction. The dark savior of the western lands. Much has happened in the months Ryo has worked as a hunter. He single handedly broke the record of becoming an S-ranked hunter held by Tina O' Brien within a time span of 6 months. Ryo has become a hardened veteran with guns and his sword Zanzo. An expert in demonology thanks to Selpha, whom he can transform seamlessly into thanks to his final Chaos form. Commanding the chains of chaos he strikes fear in the hearts of all criminals. The newest S-ranked hunter so that he may chase after the human vessal of the Nightmare Emperor. Ryo's name is now well known and is considered an S-class target with a bounty of 600,000,000,000 credits and is capable of S class damages and is second dangerous S-target.
