How's it going lukers? Several nights ago, I created a Google+ profile, joined some group pages, and I am following a few.
Judging
from its interface, Google+ feels similar to being on other social
media sites. Luckily, my news feed is not being flooded with selfies,
politics, and house cats.
Well, now that
Thanksgiving is over, I thought I would share another blog about
Krampus. Over these last several years, Krampus has been getting a lot
more exposure in the good ol' U.S. of A.
In fact, a PG-13 rated Horror Movie is being released in the movie theaters about Krampus on December 4th.
December 4th is
literally 1 day before Krampus makes his appearance to punish naughty
children and 2 days before Saint Nicholas is supposed to give presents
to nice children.

I love how the filmmakers play on coulrophobia (fear of clowns) with the Jester Clown being a monster.
How many kids play with or have toy clowns in today's era? Aren't they too busy playing with video games and other electronics?
Since
we are on the topic of Krampus, you may recall that I published a few
blogs about him over these last 2 years.
Next week, I will re-share at
least 1 of those other blogs for December 5th because that is the day,
when Krampus appears and punishes naughty children.
Sometimes he even banishes them to hell!
Meanwhile,
it is Song Saturday. Last night, I stumbled upon this duo of Gothic Horror
Fantasy Instrumental composers. They are Midnight Syndicate.
I am currently following them on Google+ and alerted them about me sharing their song, "Night Of The Krampus."
The
song can be found on their new album, Christmas: A Ghostly Gathering.
Anyway, here is Midnight Syndicate for today's Song Saturday.

It is incredibly disgusting
staring at an alien inside the protagonist's hand walking, talking, and
killing people. Just gross! By no means am I
squeamish about Parasyte -The Maxim.-
However, watching this Seinen
SciFi Horror Action Anime spoils my appetite, whenever eating something. Normally,
I am hungry around 12 am and begin scavenging around the house for
food/snacks. Therefore, watching Parasyte while eating is typically a disgusting experience.
Meanwhile, Michiko & Hatchin has
only 4 more episodes left to premiere on Adult Swim. I have been asking
around the board about what could be the series' replacement. It appears
that no one knows anything yet. Hopefully, it will be something else
worth watching. Otherwise, I will have to re-adjust my morning TV
schedule.
Lately, I have been re-watching Naruto
Shippuden on Adult Swim. I am far behind on watching Japan's premieres of Shippuden and there is no telling how many seasons.
Episode 286 was the last
episode I remember watching, which was several years ago. The other night, I read this article on Anime News Networkabout the Naruto franchise. Call
me crazy, but I believe an old Carthage College classmate published
this article. The name of the site's journalist reminds me of a past Creative Writing, Asian History, and Japanese
classmate of mine; Her name is VERY familiar.
Supposedly,
Naruto and Hinata are really married to each other. Sasuke and Sakura
are a couple as well. Honestly, I enjoyed the original series of Naruto
much better than Naruto Shippuden, so far.
Naruto was a lot funner to watch, until the entire franchise became Sasuke Uchiha centric!
You know, as
much as I really like the name Sasuke, I never liked the character,
SASUKE Uchiha. Personally, I always favored his older brother, Itachi and was
pissed that the Mangaka, Masashi Kishimoto, killed Itachi.
The last time I streamed the Japanese premieres of each
episode, I was
especially disgusted to learn that popular heroes and villains were killed in
Naruto Shippuden. 2 of The Legendary Sanin were killed,
which was ridiculous.
So, we are supposed to believe that Sasuke Uchiha
killed Lord Orochimaru and his older brother, Itachi Uchiha(a former
double agent/rogue ninja)?
Technically, Sasuke did
NOT kill Itachi. Itachi literally fought him to death and sealed all his
powers into Sasuke because he knew, that he was dying but Lord
Orochimaru is another issue.
I NEVER understood Kishimoto's obsession with his character, Sasuke Uchiha
upstaging his protagonist Naruto. The Sasuke Centricism ad nauseam
started to repel other Naruto fans.
Even though
Sasuke is a popular Naruto character, Lord Orochimaru, Itachi, Asuma,
Jiraiya, etc, etc. were just as popular characters, if not MORE popular
than Sasuke.
Last year, an Adult Swim friend said that Masashi Kishimoto "blows
Sasuke too hard." His comment was hilarious and very true. I believe most of us Naruto fans
continue reading and/or watching the franchise because we all want to know,
if Naruto Uzumaki EVER becomes Hokage.
A number of us seriously do not care about
Sasuke being the usual Emo brat that he has always been.
Luckily,
Japan canceled Bleach. As much as I really enjoyed watching Bleach more so
than the Naruto franchise, Bleach ran its course with us fans.
In
regards to this particular series, the following article is another
article from Anime News Network.
I
cannot help agreeing with this journalist. Tite Kubo definitely should've
ended Bleach once Ichigo Kurosaki defeated Sosuke Aizen.
Instead, Kubo
chose to spread out his Shonen Jump Action Anime and Manga like they were
turkey meat with filler arcs rather than focusing on the main arcs.
Aside
from the preceding Shonen and Seinen Action Anime, I thought it
would be nice to revisit Blue Exorcist with some bloopers.
Last year, I frequently
mentioned this Shonen Jump Supernatural Action Anime. Blue
Exorcist is about the protagonist, Rin Okumura being Satan's bastard
son.
Rin's foster father sacrificed his own life to protect Rin from the
demons of Gehenna. Eventually, the protagonist studies to become an exorcist.
Today
I found some Blue Exorcist Bloopers, which were shown at an Anime Expo
Panel, 2 summers ago. The line about rolling papers had me cracking up.
