Darkshaunz slaps Kubo Tite

Holy shit? my last entry was episode 151, that was like from the age of mayans. Well folks, I can’t explain my disappearance, but it probably had something to do with me being a lazy shit-eating sloth which decided that blogging would take a backseat to my new bitch, the Crapbox 360 (its going to bankai itself back to the Microsoft factory soon). Then I read the latest manga chapter of Bleach and knew, I just knew that I could not just sit on my arse and allow Kubo Tite to get away with what he’s done in the recent Bleach chapters without me unleashing a massive stream of whinging. A barrage of complaining so powerful, it will break his nose, legs and his imaginary future children which he is yet to father.

Darkshaunz puts on his Shinigami robes once more.

For a moment in time, Bleach fans resembled the battered marines on the shores of Iwo Jima.

Darkshaunz walks down memory lane…In the Future

The word GAR has been flying around quite a bit these days. When I was younger GAR meant “Get a Room”, of course today it means all manner of manly, epic and stoic macho-ness. Derivative of a one “typo” when an anonymous described he was smitten by Archer’s manhood, GAR has been used ever since. Though Guts and “Garcher” have always been contending for the grand title of men amongst men, I always felt that it was a pretty radical tie between Future Trunks and Alternate Gohan. Alternate Gohan is the Gohan version I feel fits best with who he really is. Not the shitty bookworm/girlfriend-entertaining version portrayed in the crappier, later arcs of DBZ. So this one’s for you, Alternate Gohan. May your Masenko beam shine upon future anime generations.
