What would you do if you found a door that didn't belong? Would you go through it? What if you came back but were irreparably changed?<br />
<br />
I chose this book for the Popsugar Reading Challenge number 6: A book with a plant in the title or on the cover. The cover has a forest of trees on it.<br />
<br />
This is the premise behind <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25526296-every-heart-a-doorway">Every Heart A Doorway</a> by <span style="color: cyan;">Seanan McGuire</span>. Kids are pulled through doorways to different worlds. Many don't return, but sometimes they come back. These kids are given a chance to acclimatize back to our world with the help of Eleanor West and her school.<br />
<br />
Nancy is the main character in this book, but she has changed since her experience in one of the Underworlds. Her parents send her to Eleanor's school to get 'better'. Here she finds she can be her new self but always hoping she can find the door back to her new home.<br />
<br />
She is surrounded by a plethora of other characters that have had similar experiences like hers just in different worlds. Each have their problems.<br />
<br />
It also becomes a bit of a murder mystery. It's not a super duper complicated, but it does give a bit of extra spice to the story line.<br />
<br />
I read this book in two hours. I recommend it for those that like magical realism and fantasy as well as a bit of darkness.<br />
<br />
I would love to see Nancy's world. If you could go anywhere through a doorway, what kind of world you would wand to find?<br />

Okay, when I saw Hugh Laurie wrote a book, I was with the bandwagon that said, "Dr. House wrote a book! I'm down!"<br />
<br />
So I knew that he was a musician as well. Those moments on House where he played the piano were real. So I was happy to choose his book for Pop Sugar Challenge #3: A book written by a musician (fiction or nonfiction).<br />
<br />
It started out swimmingly with a snarky but nice guy Thomas Lang. It ended up with what felt like a thousand characters and lots of political intrigue.<br />
<br />
I got a bit lost on who was a good guy and who was a bad guy.<br />
<br />
The book was okay, and I'm glad I read it. I wish I had enjoyed it more.<br />

This one was a bit different from the rest. I didn't start to read it as one of the challenge books. I picked it up because it sounded twisted, which I admit, I needed considering all the lighthearted manga and books I've been reading.<br />
<br />
Challenge four of the Pop Sugar Challenge is: A book you think should be turned into a movie.<br />
<br />
I found that as soon as I got into the book, I actually said to myself (in my head) that I would love to watch this. It was then that I realized that there was a challenge that fit this idea.<br />
<br />
I was attracted to the cover at first, but once I read the premise, I hesitated on buying it. I took the plunge and ate that puppy up in one day.<br />
<br />
The premise isn't unfamiliar. Serial killer who works with police. The <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17231.Darkly_Dreaming_Dexter?ac=1&from_search=true">Dexter</a> series by Jeff Lindsay is an example of this.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/40508054-masquerade-and-the-nameless-women">Masquerade and the Nameless Women</a> was a fun read for me. I would really love to have a second book that pits the serial killer and the rookie cop obsessed with finding him together.<br />
<br />

I chose this book for: A book that includes a wedding. One -- because I read the first book and wanted to read the second, and Two -- because as soon as I saw it had a wedding in it, I was happy place it there (since I was not looking forward to finding a book with a wedding in it.)<br />
<br />
I thought it was not quite as good as the first one. I wasn't a fan of the character Kitty Pong in the first book, and she ended up being a major character in this book.<br />
<br />
Astrid's love life gets even more complex as Michael becomes an idiot when he makes millions. His whole personality changes into some monstrous version. I guess it was in him before, but it was sort of shocking to see.<br />
<br />
I did enjoy the book enough to go on to the third one.<br />

Okay, so this one was a no brainer. I have a huge collection of manga that I have to read, which includes Dragon Ball.<br />
<br />
I made it one of my "resolutions" to read some of the completed series I have (as in the ones I didn't read last year).<br />
<br />
So I chose Graphic Novel as Your favorite prompt from a past Popsugar Reading Challenge.<br />
<br />
This version of Dragon Ball is the only English uncensored version out. The Big Editions from Viz are censored. I even checked with them to make sure.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I've watched the entire series of Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, which i loved. (Sigh, Vegeta.) So I decided to collect the manga because I like to read the source material.<br />
<br />
It was fun. I love it. It's like watching the anime without the filler episodes. I'm hearing the voices and everything.<br />
<br />
I could even place this under the nostalgia category, but I have something else in mind for that one.<br />
<br />
So who else loves DB and DBZ? Whose watched and/or read it? Who was your favorite character?</div>

This was one of the harder ones so far to fill for me.<br />
<br />
Number 22 on the Popsugar Reading Challenge is: a book recommended by a celebrity you admire.<br />
<br />
I'm not really into admiring celebrities much. Maybe a shallow glance at Facebook and People magazine blurbs about them. So it was hard to find one that I truly admire.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/Emma_Watson_2013.jpg/220px-Emma_Watson_2013.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="295" data-original-width="220" height="200" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7f/Emma_Watson_2013.jpg/220px-Emma_Watson_2013.jpg" width="149" /></a></div>
I ended up choosing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Watson">Emma Watson</a>. She is an advocate for many things. She also took her education seriously despite becoming a star as the bookworm witch, <span style="color: #b4a7d6;">Hermione Granger</span>.<br />
<br />
She recommended The Little Prince.<br />
<br />
I look back on the book and I still have no idea what I read. It was an amalgamation of children's story, philosophy, fantasy, life lessons, and I don't know what else.<br />
<br />
It's the sort of book that takes two or three readings to get the deeper meanings of the work. It's worth another read.<br />
<br />
What does The Little Prince mean to you? Let me know in the comments below.</div>

And so we come to the next of the Popsugar Reading Challenge books. The challenge parameter is: A book that takes place in a single day.<br />
<br />
The proper name for these types of novels is called <span style="color: magenta;">Circadian</span> novels.<br />
<br />
This one is by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/13014.Vivian_Vande_Velde">Vivian Vande Velde</a>. She writes YA novels. My two favorites by her are <span style="color: #f4cccc;">Dragon's Bait</span> and <span style="color: #e06666;">Companions of the Night</span>. The first is a fantasy about a girl, a dragon, and revenge. The second has a girl, a vampire, and people trying to kill them.<br />
<br />
The one I got from the library to read is <span style="color: cyan;">23 Minutes</span>. This one is about a girl who can turn back time. She can only go back 23 minutes and only 10 times. Each "playback" (as the main character calls it) had unique elements each time.<br />
<br />
I think the author did an amazing job. She told the same 23 minutes completely different each time. I must admit there were small repetitions, but event those were dissimilar.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the book immensely.<br />
<br />
What would you change or fix if you could go back 23 minutes?</div>

So I was at Walmart last Sunday. I was doing a bit of shopping and ended up passing the book section. (Yeah, okay, I deliberately went there. That section just calls to me and I cannot resist its temptations.)<br />
<br />
Anyway, I saw this and picked it up. I had seen the movie with my sister when it went into Red Box. I enjoyed the movie enough to check out the book.<br />
<br />
I'm glad I did. The book had way more drama than the movie. Not that the movie didn't have drama. Only the movie was more geared toward the comedic side of things.<br />
<br />
The con is that there were A LOT of characters to keep track of including family members, and friends, and friend of friends, and kids of friends. Also, there were footnotes that translated the language. They were translated the one time but sometimes things were used more than once. I didn't want to go back and look for the translation again.<br />
<br />
I enjoyed the book. <span style="color: #ea9999;">Oliver</span> has got to be one of my favorite characters in the movie and the book. <span style="color: yellow;">Peik Lin Goh</span> is another. I totally had <span style="color: orange;">Awkwafina</span>'s performance in my head as I read it. She was amazing.<br />
<br />
One of favorite lines that Peik Lin says is: "I have no idea who these people are. But I can tell you one thing—these people are richer than God."<br />
<br />
Have you read or watched the movie? Who was your favorite character?<br />

This was on my reading list for the longest time. And I mean the loooongest time.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I saw it at the library and put it on my reading list (in hardback). I watched the movie; it was still on my reading list. I got the paperback last year --- and it was still on my reading list.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So I finally broke down and picked it up for the Popsugar Reading Challenge #14: A book set in space.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Let me tell you, I loved it!!! I highly recommend the book.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The book was intelligent and funny and just plain cool. The book had a bit more depth (naturally) and had some great new bits not seen in the movie.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One of my favorite scenes is still the moment where he calls himself a space pirate. My other is when he razzes Carl Sagan about colonizing Mars.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what were your favorite scenes or lines from the the book or movie?</div>

I've been busy for the last few months. The real life job has been full of books, books, and more books.<br />
<br />
I had to use up the money from (I think) three grants before they expired. That meant A LOT of processing. The good thing is that our public library now has a decent manga collection that I feed with my regular funds. <br />
<br />
The cool thing is that the stats for the collection was astounding. It had super high stats for the year. It did better that some of our other collections. Woot!<br />

<br />
And it was not only books. There were a ton of playaways. Those are audio books. Tiny, portable, and can go just about anywhere. They run on a AAA battery. <br />
<br />
I had two major projects in the works that had to be done. A major weeding of my Juvenile and YA sections.<br />
<br />
Other than that, life has been going on. We were sadden to lose one of our fur babies. She was 17.<br />
<br />
We were all depressed.<br />
<br />
A month later, my brother brought home an impy little turd named Reba. She is a tiny 7 lb. bundle of Speedy Gonzalez energy. She has two motions stop and light speed. She is also a sand worm from Dune. She burrows under the covers like one. Nothing like getting a frigid nose butting your arm at 3 a.m. so she can bury herself under the covers.<br />
<br />
I have decided to do the <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Reading-Challenge-2019-45450968">Popsugar Reading Challenge</a> again. <br />
<br />
I know, I know. I tried in 2015 and didn't finish. This time I've planned ahead and found books to fit the categories ahead of time. So now I just have to read them. Plus, I decided to do a reading log to go with it.<br />
<br />
I've labeled the reading log with each of the Popsugar challenge categories ahead of time. Now I just fill in the pages with the books I choose.<br />
<br />
I've also decided to pledge a set number of books in the Goodreads reading challenge, which I've never ever done before. I officially read 300 books (okay, mostly manga) last year. This year I said 250.<br />
<br />
Sounds like a lot, but it's not really.<br />
<br />
I also want to downsize my billions of books. So I'm bound and determined to read them and get rid of the ones I don't want anymore. <br />
<br />
So how has your January treated you?<br />

Hi everyone. <br />
<br />
Yes, I've been absent for a long time.<br />
<br />
I've been grinding hard on the whetstone of life. <br />
<br />
Work has been a big thing with Summer Reading Program in June and July. It was a blast. We did rocks, fossils, geodes, clay sculptures, and music. The theme this year was Libraries Rock. Very easy to interpret into different things like music and geology.<br />
<br />
And before that, I was having fun creating a new manga and light novel collection with grant funds for the library. Yes, it sounds horrible. Our public library has had no manga or graphic novels for the entirety of my life until last year.<br />
<br />
I was a kid in a candy store! There are so many series that I couldn't make up my mind to get. But I had a poll I did and narrowed it down.<br />
<br />
I have Fairy Tail, Assassination Classroom, Death Note, Black Butler, SAO, and, of course Dragon Ball. As some of my shonen series. Ouran HSHS, Black Bird, and some smaller shojo series. For the kiddos, I got Legend of Zelda, Yokai Watch, and a host of new Disney/Tokyo Pop manga. <br />
<br />
All in all, my colleague and I processed about 600+ manga on top of the regular monthly orders throughout 2017.<br />
<br />
I've been reading quite a a bit too. My new obsession is light novels. There are so many out there now. According to an article from <a href="https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2018/06/24/general/can-japanese-light-novels-remain-publishing-heavyweights/#.W41VvOtHaK0">Japanese Time</a>s, <a href="http://yenpress.com/">Yen On</a> (a manga and light novel imprint of Hatchette Book Group) has had give or take a 1000% increase in four years. <br />
<br />
I am definitely on this bandwagon. I love Sword Art Online, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon ?!, Death March To a Parallel World Rhapsody, No Game No Life, Your Name, Log Horizon, Arifureta, Irregular at Magic High School, I've Been Killing Slime For 300 Years and I Maxed Out My Level. <br />
<br />
Many series are in the Isekai genre, Isekai is the "I died and got reincarnated into another world. I was transported to another world. I was sucked into a video game world." or any variation on that theme.<br />
<br />
In my experience so far, I find I want to read the books after watching the anime. Death March was one such series. The anime only from book 1-3. There are now six books published. And now I hope the anime gets a second season so I can watch the next books come to life again.<br />
<br />
Wow, that was a huge tangent I went off on. Heh heh heh. <br />
<br />
Anyway, that has been my life for the last while. <br />
<br />
If you're a manga or anime fan give some light novels a try. If you are new to the light novel franchise, there worlds to explore that can only be found in them.<br />
<br />
If you have a favorite or want to ask about mu latest obsession, give me a buzz.</div>

I just found the live action Fullmetal Alchemist movie on Netflix!! <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XFfy5IVj0Vk/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XFfy5IVj0Vk?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
So watching it as I type!<br />
<br />
For those who do not know, <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist">FMA</a> was created as an anime in the late 90s as well as a remake called FMA Brotherhood in the 2000s. It was based on the manga of the same name.<br />
<br />
There are anime movies as well as ovas for each series. <br />
<br />
This has been on my watch list since the news of its production was released. <br />
<br />
If it is as awesome as I hope, this will be a preorder. <br />
<br />
Already two things I know will happen that will destroy me. All I will say is Hughes and Shou Tucker. Those that have seen the anime will know and those who haven't will not be spoiled.<br />
<br />
I will now go hide with my tissues and blankie waiting to bawl my eyes out without regret or remorse.<br />
<br />

Hey everyone! Happy Halloween, Samhain, Dios de los Muertos, and whatever else you want to celebrate!<br />
<br />
This is my post for the NLA-MPLA 2017 (Nevada Library Association- Mountain Plains Library Association) conference that took place in Tahoe. It was three days of Hard Rock, Harveys, and librarians from all over the states.<br />
<br />
We arrived for the early bird sessions. I went to the Early Literacy one. It was an eye-opening session. It made me think about how important it is for kids to be happy and supported and to help them to learn to read. I loved the booklet that was given to us. It is a very useful tool.<br />
<br />
The vendors were all amazing. The A.W.E. station and the book vendors were really interesting. The swag was awesome.<br />
<br />
My favorite had to be the Rocky Mountain Puppets. Their presentation was enjoyable and I loved every minute of it. I hope we have the chance to get them here.<br />
<br />
I was sad to miss the book signing with Dan Bar-el, but luckily, he was nice enough to sign extra books for those that couldn't make it. He was one of the NYRA (Nevada Young Readers' Award) winners this year.<br />
<br />
We stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. There was a place to get good coffee. Needed my fix of chemical dependence or I can't function as a human.<br />
<br />
We had a lovely dinner and lunch at the Lucky Beaver just across the street and a couple of doors down. Yummy, yummy food and some 'unique' titles for their meals.<br />
<br />
All and all, I had a wonderful time with lots of fascinating information and great people.</div>

So I was hedging on whether to do A to Z this year. I was totally not going to do it. Then, I watched Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale in theaters on March 9th. It was a fantastic edition to the SAO franchise. I loved it. I love the anime and the light novels.<br />
<br />
It inspired and excited me so much that the idea for this year's theme popped into my head then and there.<br />
<br />
Thus, I ended up changing my mind.<br />
<br />
So I did a headlong frenzy of name finding. I internet searched anime lists, I scoured my anime shelves and manga books, and racked my brain to find those ever elusive Q and X letters.<br />
<br />
I had to hedge on only one this year. Stupid X. But my X post happens to be in my top ten of absolute favorites. So, all was cool. I was happy about it once I resigned that there wasn't an X anime character name that I had watched and liked.<br />
<br />
My first post was prewritten on March 13th and it went on from there. I finally got Y (yes, I finished Z before Y) on April 26th.<br />
<br />
But the most wonderful thing was I didn't get sick in the midst of April like I usually do. So that was fantastic.<br />
<br />
So onto the awesome and not so awesome.<br />
<br />
Thank you everybody who visited my blog this year. Real life kicked my bootie this year with Summer Reading Program prep as well as other catastrophies. So I couldn't get to other blogs as much as I wanted. I wish I could have visited more but life before fun sometimes.<br />
<br />
I really, really missed the linky list. It was handy to tab out 10 or more blogs and see what was happening on them. I had a few regulars but not many new ones popping up on my blog this year.<br />
<br />
So that was the not so awesome.<br />
<br />
The awesome was there were some amazing A to Z blogs I did find. There was the snarky and hilarious posts about Mythology, Hair Bands, and Folklore.<br />
<br />

<span style="color: lime;">Zechs Merquise</span> is the mysterious and gentlemanly OZ Gundam pilot. His past is hidden like his face behind a mask. He is one of the leaders of Oz in <a href="http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Mobile_Suit_Gundam_Wing">Gundam Wing</a>.<br />

<span style="color: yellow;"><span style="color: lime;">Killua Zoldyck</span></span> is Gon's best friend in the Anime <span style="color: yellow;"><a href="http://hunterxhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Hunterpedia">Hunter X Hunter</a>. </span>He is also the shining star of the Zoldyck family of assassins. Seeing him for the first time, one wouldn't think so since he acts just like a normal teen. He calmly rides his skateboard as he initiates a conversation with Gon during the first test of the Hunter's Exam. Although there are a few subtle hints that he is more than he appears before the exam.<br /><br /> His parents have high hopes for him to become the next leader despite having older siblings. <br />

This is a family that is beyond dysfunctional. Torture as punishment (I mean whips and chains and other various devices) is like grounding for them. His father finally lets him return to his friends, knowing that letting him go would return him to the fold eventually.<br />
<br />
Killua has no qualms about ripping hearts out of people when he's in a bad mood.<br />
<br />
He changes when he meets Gon, Kurapika, and Leorio. He becomes stronger and softens at the same time. His loyalty to them puts him in harms way more than once.<br />

To die to save a life can be noble especially if the person doing the saving is an unrepentant street fighter and slacker with a cruddy home life. This is what happens to <span style="color: lime;">Yusuke Urameshi</span> in <a href="http://yuyuhakusho.wikia.com/wiki/YuYu_Hakusho_Wiki">Yu Yu Hakusho</a>.<br />
<a href="https://68.media.tumblr.com/67d2c602a4759f1135bd44ba616a4749/tumblr_o5fh0bguZf1ti3013o2_500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="https://68.media.tumblr.com/67d2c602a4759f1135bd44ba616a4749/tumblr_o5fh0bguZf1ti3013o2_500.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
He found out that the boy he tried to save would have survived without his interference so his death was basically in vain as Botan tells him. She then goes to explain that he could come back to life since his death was unexpected although the conditions to return were strict.<br />
<br />
After his return, he becomes a Spirit Detective for Koemna.<br />
<br />
Yusuke's smart-mouth, delinquency, intimidation, fighting, and huge chip on his shoulder all conceal that he is a kind individual that loves his friends deeply.<br />

And we are back to the dulcet tones of grunting and yelling as warriors power up in another edition of <a href="http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">Dragon Ball Z</a>. This time is the enemy turned Z Warrior, <span style="color: lime;">Vegeta</span>, prince of all saiyans. (Of course, Frieza destroyed the saiyan planet and all the saiyans are dead except for Goku and Vegeta, but really does that matter to royalty. <br />
<a href="https://static2.fjcdn.com/comments/I+m+back+bitches+_f2dbddd258843a2d23388762c4211bac.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="https://static2.fjcdn.com/comments/I+m+back+bitches+_f2dbddd258843a2d23388762c4211bac.png" width="320" /></a><br />
Vegeta is as arrogant as the mountains under the ocean are high and an ego as long as the distance between the moon and sun. He thinks he's the best of the best because he is prince. He doesn't understand how Goku can be more powerful.<br />
<br />
Vegeta comes to Earth to take it over and sell it, which gets all the Z warriors involved. After the epic showdown between Goku and Vegeta, Goku lets him go despite Krilin's warning to kill him. Goku proves that he is right when Vegeta helps them on Namek later.<br />
<br />
His quest to beat Goku becomes one of the long running threads in the series. It goes from pride's sake to one where he wants to push himself farther. <br />
<br />
He returns to Earth, still cold and snotty and ruthless. He slowly mellows as time goes by. He even becomes a family man. A hardened warrior going to an amusement park with his son. Yeah, not something I pictured either but it happens.</div>

What can i say about <span style="color: lime;">Undertaker</span> other than he is the weirdest, most eccentric, and strange character that ever graced my tv screen. He is morbid and sick and twisted. He is certifiable. He is also one of the Reapers like Grell and William. He just doesn't hang out with them anymore busies himself as an undertaker in the in the human world in the Anime <a href="http://kuroshitsuji.wikia.com/wiki/Kuroshitsuji_Wiki">Black Butler</a>. <br />

Grell and other Reapers call him a deserter.<br />

He worked as a Reaper for a long time, becoming tired of the 'end'. He decided experiment.<br />

<br />
But that is not where the story begins. It begins with a homeless girl receiving the powers from <span style="color: orange;">Mikage</span> (mee-kah-jay) and the chaos that ensues from a mortal becoming a land God. <span style="color: orange;">Tomoe</span> (toe-moe-ay) hates the thought of a human at the shrine but <span style="color: orange;">Nanami</span> (nah-nah-mee) takes no bull and forced him back into servitude with a kiss.<br />

The rest of the series has a bit of a reverse haremish group of gorgeous and handsome demons with a back story of hundreds of years and a complex timeline I will not even try to explain. There are misadventures with gods, sea creatures, tengu, and other various immortal beings. <br />
<br />
Tomoe has the ability to come off as hateful and cold, arrogant, prideful, and elegant, but he has his moments of childish jealousy and other moments where you can see the hurt, vulnerability, and soft heart he hides away from prying eyes.<br />

<span style="color: lime;">Takigawa Houshou</span> is the guitar-wielding monk of <a href="http://ghost-hunt.wikia.com/wiki/Ghost-Hunt_Wiki">Ghost Hunt</a>.

Characterwise, he is laid back but can be serious when needed.<br />
<br />
We first meet him as he was hired by Mai's school to exorcise the spirits along with Naru, Lin, Ayako, Masako, Father John Brown. He becomes one of the regulars of SPR (Shibuya Pyschic Research.<br />
<br />
As a monk, he is strong and can lead the group when Naru is incapacitated. </div>

Okay, he will be the odd man of the bunch today. His name is <span style="color: lime;">Shiore</span>. Before the Apocalypse, he was a graduate student in university studying engineering. After the Apocalypse, he became the driving force of the Round Table Alliance, the breaking of exploitative guilds, and forming the new guild of <a href="http://log-horizon.wikia.com/wiki/Log_Horizon_(TV)">Log Horizon</a>.<br />

His name is Shiroe. He is Half-Alv with the class of Enchanter-Scribe, which allows him to help his party members with his magic. His Scribe class does something even greater in the series - a world changing something.<br />
<br />
There are many monikers he is known by, but my favorite is the 'Villain in Glasses'. It is untrue though. He may come across as a Machiavellian schemer but he really only wants to make the lives of the Adventurers stuck in the world of Elder Tales better.<br />
<br />
He was the strategist in the Debauchery Tea Party before their disbandment. He becomes the 'shadow' leader of the Round Table. But he lets Krusty be the front man while making decisions and strategic maneuvers from behind.<br />

<span style="color: lime;">Shesshomaru</span> the full dog demon of the Anime <a href="http://inuyasha.wikia.com/wiki/InuYasha_Wiki">Inuyasha</a> and half brother of the main character of the same name. He is the Lord of the West another the death of his father. He despises weakness and most humans. He carries a katana that has the ability to save a hundred people with one swipe. The Tenseiga is deemed useless by him because it cannot strike down a living person. He craves the sword Tetsusaiga, which was given to Inuyasha.<br />
<br />
In one battle, he gets injured by Inuyasha and a little girl finds him and tries to take are of him. He finds her dead, but uses the Tenseiga to revive the girl. This is the first time Sesshomaru feels the compassion needed to use the sword. Rin becomes his traveling companion along with Jaken and Ah-Un the two-headed dragon.<br />
<br />
He becomes sort of allies with the Inuyasha and company to fight the evil half-demon Naraku.<br />
<br />
He even surpasses his father's power by creating a sword and regenerating his arm, which Inuyasha severed, as the show progresses.<br />

<span style="color: lime;">Sebastian Michaelis</span> is one hell of a butler in the Anime <a href="http://kuroshitsuji.wikia.com/wiki/Kuroshitsuji">Black Butler</a>. He is contracted to Ciel until such time that the contract is fulfilled and Sebastian eats Ciel's soul.<br />
<br />
The crow demon protects his charge from those that want to hurt him, which is a tough assignment indeed. The life of Ciel is complicated to say the least. He works for the Queen to solve mysteries and crimes as he searches for the the people who murdered his parents.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://media0.giphy.com/media/26qUpWxVqcZnq/200_s.gif" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="153" src="https://media0.giphy.com/media/26qUpWxVqcZnq/200_s.gif" width="320" /></a>He is extremely fond of cats and hates dogs. So when Pluto becomes a mender of the household, he cringes and is disdainful. <br />
<br />
He also suffers the misfit characters that run the household. One has a penchant for blowing up the kitchen, one can't see past the end of her nose, and the last tries to kill the gardens on a daily basis. Only they were not recruited for their household skills. They had other 'talents' Sebastian required.<br />

What can I say about my next favorite character? He's not human. He's extremely bored. He has skulls everywhere. He's a type of god. Um, oh and he will take your life when it's time, but will never go to Heaven or Hell because you've written down names in a notebook. <br />
<br />

He is <span style="color: lime;">Ryuk</span>. The Shinigami catalyst of <a href="http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">Death Note</a>. He drops the Death Note into the human world to kill the boredom. He enjoys every minute on Earth, especially the apples. Withdrawal symptoms of his apple addiction causes him to twist into a pretzel shape. <br />
<br />
He and Light get along as well as can be expected for a serial killer genius and snide death god.<br />

Roy Mustang is my second character. He is a Colonel in the Amestrian State Military as well as a State Alchemist. He is the Flame Alchemist and can produce different types of fire with the gloves decorated with transmutation circles on his hands.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fma/images/0/03/Royxlust.png/revision/latest?cb=20130426212432" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/fma/images/0/03/Royxlust.png/revision/latest?cb=20130426212432" width="320" /></a>He is the one to get revenge for Maes' death by burning alive the homunculus that killed him. To say you have to be powerful to do this is an extreme understatement.<br />
<br />
He comes across as a ladies man and a procrastinating slacker who is also power hungry, but that is a facade for his true character. He uses his power to protect those that cannot protect themselves.<br />
<br />
His time in the Ishval war haunts him.<br />
<br />
Edward is his direct subordinate and they both have a mutual respect for each other while having a rocky relationship. </div>

<span style="color: lime;">Watari</span> is the quiet handler of L in <a href="http://deathnote.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page">Death Note</a>. He is the 'face' of L.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/deathnote/images/0/0f/Watari.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081006164431" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/deathnote/images/0/0f/Watari.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20081006164431" width="231" /></a>In his other life, he is <span style="color: lime;">Quillish Wammy</span>, inventor and philanthropist. He is also the founder of Wammy's House, which is a orphanage located in England.<br />
<br />
Many of the super-detectives (like L and Mello) were brought up there. It's a place for gifted children.<br />
<br />
He acts like a butler when he is with L, but in truth, they have more of a father/son relationship.<br />
<br />
Surprisingly, he is trained in espionage and marksmanship.<br />
<br />
