Xan has returned from Las Vegas

spiraken — Thu, 28 May 2009 17:08:27 +0000

I’m back from my 4 day vacation in Las Vegas. Did I win alot of money….No. But I had a great time. Here is a quick synopisis of Xan’s adventure… with some visual aids

Here is where I stayed. Pretty nice with 2 pools. Isn’t that special?

So i started out by checking out the Luxor. Awesome Transformers 2 Ad. However, there was no transformers stuff inside. That’s False Advertising!!!

Checked out Paris. I did not know that there was a balloon outside

New York New York.. They got the crowded part right and the angry people

I don’t know what they are building but it is artistic, shiny and crooked. Xan approves of this

M. a resort/spa that is waay out in the desert

Excaliber was very King Arthury but not as cool as Xan giving the V sign ouside it

MGM was pretty Cool. Especially the Architecture inside

The Venitian was beautiful but i was unable to go inside due to time constraints. Maybe next time….

So once I was done looking at casinos I went inside and here’s what I did

I gambled a little bit and my entire winnings is right here -_-’

I also took in a couple of sights

Chilled out with some stone frogs waiting for people

This place was awesome, They has Sushi and JPop. Brilliant

Sapporo Beer was very good and cheap. I had 6 of these ^_^

Here is the aftermath of all those drinks

For desert/detox Xan went to Serendipity3 for ice cream. Did you know that there is a $1000 Sunday?

The gardens at the Bellagio were trippy. Especially with the Water Orb thing

WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHhhyyyyyyyyyyyy is it raining on me !!!!!

There are more pictures but those are for me and my family. Sorry Guys. Wish you were these. See You later

Ep 54: Incest Is Not Best

spiraken — Thu, 28 May 2009 01:03:28 +0000

In this episode of the Spiraken Manga Review, Xan reviews a very sad love story about a love, which should never be “Koi Kaze”

This episode was done in advance so no new news. Xan forgot to explain this in the episode but here is some additional information about Koi Kaze

The manga which Xan reviewed is very sad. Not sad in a cry baby sad but rather in a meloncoly way. Rarely does a manga, which deals with incest, show the negative side of that kind of relationship. Koi Kaze examines this topic and shows the forbidden love between two who should not be in love The characters in this manga are in a situation which should never be even thought of. It goes against several taboos and is something that they both know to be wrong but they stick with it. The fact that Koshiro is concerned about the social taboos and the reprecussions of Nanoko and his actions shows how developed a manga this is.

NOTE!!!Xan & The Spiraken Manga Review does not condone this type of relationship and while it is shown in this work of fiction to be romantic, in reality, there are serious negative implications and results to an incestuous relationship. Besides religious and social taboos, there are also several biological taboos which should never be crossed.

Also remember Xan will be attending AnimeNext in New Jersey, June 12th-14th so check it out and if you see him there you get a t-shirt Check Out Xan’s Article on Anime3000.com as well as his sidekickery on the Fightbait Anime & Gaming Podcast And finally, we are still looking for the voice of THE WHEEL OF MANGA. Send an mp3 or a voice mail of you saying Wheel of Manga and see if you can become the wheel of manga voice.

Ep 40: Xan Watches the Watchmen…and attempts to review it. Guest Host BAZ

spiraken — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:55:31 +0000

The 40th Episode of the Spiraken Manga Review.This episode can be considered an anniversery episode and a supplimental cause it covers everything from anime to comics to video games and even movies. Xan decides to review a true manga(graphic novel), Xan Reviews the movie adaption and the graphic novel Watchmen,

,
at least he tries to. He and Guest Host Baz insult several demographics and even talk bad about Star Wars, Lord of the Rings,Star Trek, and even video games like Smackdown vs Raw, Burnout Paradise, and Call of Duty. Sorry that this was not a full review episode, I tried to keep it as clean as I could but well, when i hang out with Baz, things go a little haywire. Episode 41 will be back to basics about reviewing manga I promise. If this is your first exposure to spiraken, go back and listen to earlier episodes. OFFICIALLY THE LONGEST EPISODE EVER

Not Episode 30- a Filler

spiraken — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:07:56 +0000

Due to technical problems, episode 30 has been fragmented and will take some time to be reassembled. due to this, I have decided to kinda skip over 30 until it is finished and i will just insert it in between the following episodes. hopefully no one notices. if you want to hear some of the banter which occured, check out the fightbait anime podcast to get fightbait and chris’s half of the episode. Note i was able to salvage the wheel of manga segment so you will not be lost

Welcome

Welcome to the Society for providing information and reviews of Manga’s website, also known as Spiraken. We are a manga review podcast that reviews and discusses various mangas each week. Each episode we review 2 different mangas and give them a rating.

The ratings are:

1) Have a Priest purify it….and then we burn it.

2) Your typical reading material…at your local Correctional Facility or Psychiatric Institution.

3) A gift from crazy Aunt Muriel…okay but forgettable.

4) Borrow it from a friend and never return it…unless offered Pocky.

5) Reallly, really fucking cool. If you do not buy this right now your blood will dry out, your brain will freeze, and your soul will be forfeit to the great Zomagustar! Mwa ha ha ha! (Hail Ippallazo!)

Also here are some basic concepts and terms we use in this podcast.

manga- the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. In their modern form, manga date from shortly after World War II but have a long, complex history in earlier Japanese art.

In Japan, manga are widely read by people of all ages, so that a broad range of subjects and topics occur in manga. This includes action-adventure, romance, sports and games, historical drama, comedy, science fiction and fantasy, mystery, horror, sexuality, as well as business and commerce, among still many others.

Otaku- a Japanese term used to refer to people with obsessive interests, particularly anime and manga.

Gaijen- a Japanese word meaning “foreigner” or “outsider”.

chibi- a Japanese word meaning “short person” or “small child”. The word has gained currency amongst fans of manga and anime. Its meaning is of someone or some animal that is small. It can be translated as “little”. Ex. Sailor Mini Moon=Sailor Chibi Moon.

Pocky- a Japanese snack food produced by the Ezaki Glico Company of Japan. It was first sold in 1965, and traditionally consists of a sesame biscuit stick coated with chocolate. Be careful of bricking in hot weather!

baka- idiot, stupid.

fan service- a vaguely defined term chiefly used for Japanese visual media—particularly in anime fandom—to refer to elements in a story that are unnecessary to a storyline and are designed to amuse or excite the audience with sexually-derived content.

We love constructive criticism so please send us your thoughts and requests for reviews at spiraken@gmail.com . Thank you in advance.
