Family Guy :D !!

if you type "isys100" into google; our blog is the 8th result. O_O


Family Guy (remember: anime is short for animation) is an American animated television series set in the fictional city of Quahog which centres a dysfunctional family consisting of the Griffins: Peter, Lois, Meg , Chris, Stewie and their pet dog, Brian. The animation parodies various pop culture, past events, history, television and contemporary society.
creative invention?






Stewie (pictured right) is my favourite character; the football shaped baby; despite being a one year old baby, is obsessed with world domination, can speak fluent English and has a wide knowledge base in creating weapons and machines.

He shares a mutual friendship with the family pet, Brian despite constantly calling him a douchebag. In Season 6, when Stewie travels into the future he comes across Brian's grave and writes "douchebag" on his tombstone.

For a westernised cartoon, Family Guy is pretty awesome when it's up against all the Japanese anime out there.

Doraemon ドラえもん


Doraemon is a popular Japanese anime and is loved by children. The main character Doraemon is a cat-like robot from the future. He has a pocket on his abdomen with various amazing tools. In the anime, Doraemon uses these tools to help Nobita and his friends solve many troubles in every new adventure.


Time Machine

Doraemon and his friends could use it to go back to the past (e.g. the Age of the Dinosaur!!) or future. The entrance and exit of the time machine is in the Nobita's desk.





Small Propellers
When Doraemon put it on his head, he can fly anywhere. The battery inside the small propeller could last for 8 hours. In addition, the user controls his flying by psychological induction. So if the user has an irritable mood, the propeller will be out of control!!

I think everyone wants to have a friend like Doraemon when he/she is a kid because we could have fun with him!!!

Death Note ~

L Lawliet
One of my all-time favourite anime is Death Note which is about a teenager, Light Yagami (Kira) who one day mysteriously finds a "death note"; a notebook that allows the user to kill anyone (through suffering a heart attack; unless the user writes a plan of how one's going to die) by writing his/her name while picturing their face on the pages of the notebook. L (Lawliet), considered the world's greatest detective notice unusual numbers of people dying of heart attacks, mainly criminals and so sets out to uncover the cause of these deaths.
Light Yagami

What I most like about the anime is the odd personality of L which I think is the most stand-out character in the anime. Mainly his childish antics, and his obsession with sweets.

Death Note is a psychological thriller which is not suitable for young children. The author must have been on drugs to come up with such a twisted story!!
Which do u think is better? Anime, Manga or Live action version of the anime.

One Piece かい ぞく おう

One Piece, the manga have been published in Japanese magazine"Jump" from 1977, followed the anime has been on view from 1999. For so long a time, One Piece is always very popular in the world, especially in Asia countries.
















Wealth, fame, and power. The man who acquires everything in this world, the private king, Gold Roger said before he died were:" My fortune is yours for the taking, but you have to find it first. I left everything I owned in One Piece." Then all the privates send sail to the grand land where One Piece belong to. The era of the great private is coming.




One piece is a story that Luffy set sail with his friends as his dream was to be capital king and they will fight with marine. A great sea battle came soon after Roger died.


Welcome to see One Piece.

Case Closed(名探侦のコナン) Review!!

Case Closed is one of my favorite Japanese anime.
Shinichi Kudo is once a high school student who always helps police to solve difficult cases. One day, when Shinichi Kudo accidentally witnesses Black Organization's crime, he is forced to swallow a terrible poison and finally be a seven-year-old child Conan Edogawa. Since then, he starts to hide the real identity and try to find out the Black Organization!




In 2007, the second live action drama named "Meitantei Conan: Kudo Shinichi he no Chosenio" was broadcasted on TV. Actually, I prefer anime better than the live action drama. I think the actor who plays the role of Conan is too young and he is not professionally trained. So it is pretty hard for the little boy to think like a high school student!!

Random Stuff

Hey everyone, this is andrew with my first blog post! I haven't watched anime for a long time but there's been a question that has been bugging me for a while. Why the hell do Japanese anime characters have HUGE eyes? It's like all the people with small eyes are killed or something in anime world.

WTF

I've also noticed this has caught on to people in real life as well with those circle contact lenses which enlarge the appearance of your iris. Growing in popularity among asian women. I just hope that reality doesn't mirror it's anime counterpart or we'd all look f**ked up like Lady Gaga in her MV.

LOL

No thanks.

Satoshi Tajiri, creator of Pokemon, Dead?!

...the fails of social networking sites. 

A week after the devastating earthquake and tsunami in the Japanese province of Senda, it has led to false rumours of the death of Satoshi Tajiri, the creator of Pokemon. Rumours began to spread through the social networking site: Twitter;  that the creator had died in the tsunami. Fortunately, Tajiri posted a tweet
"Dear hummingbirds, what’s this nonsense about me being dead? More importantly, if you can, help Japan.”
 to clear up the misunderstanding. Hence, he has confirmed that he is still alive =] 

Pokemon Black and White version was released yesterday to all Australian stores. Check out which store is closest and buy your own copy today!
Happy Gaming!
