The Breaker New Waves: Shiwoon is Back!!!
Ever since the Breaker New Waves began I have always felt like something was lacking, like it was missing something that the original had. And after this chapter, chapter 112, I finally understand what that thing was. It lacked Shiwoon being Bad Ass!!! In The Breaker Shiwoon went to being less than average to fighting with higher level Murim people in about a span of a month. Which was awesome, it had all of the aspects of a great growth and development story, but without the long "leveling up" period that manga of the same type suffer from, such as Kenichi. While it was awesome and at the time it worked, looking back it was rather rushed. So a rushed growth doesn't bode well for a long and in depth story, which is what the author seems to be going for. So it makes since that the author would create a situation where Shiwoon stalled in his growth so that the author can emphasize the strength of other characters as well as progressing the story without having a cliche overpowered main character. Sure it got annoying when we saw Shiwoon doing stupid things, trying to use his head instead of his fists, but that just makes it more exciting and Bad Ass when Shiwoon recovered and finally became the overpowered Bad Ass we want him to be. If you haven't read ether this chapter, The Breaker, or (to a lesser extent) The Breaker New Waves, than this is what you've been missing:

Monster:First Toughts
So I was watching this anime and got to around episode 20 when my computer stopped streaming videos. I click 'play' and my computer freezes, forcing me to restart my computer an effectively blocking me from finishing this anime, which I really wanted to do. However I did manage to watch a good chunk of Monster before my computer went kaput, so without further a due here is my Monster: First Thoughts review.
Basically, if you haven't seen it yet go watch it, and have you have seen it...watch it again, for me. Seriously though I was loving this anime, I finished the first 20 episodes in two nights. As far as the plot is concerned, a brain surgeon saves a little boy who was shot in the head (for those who think being shot in the head equals dead...most cases yes but every once in a while the bullet doesn't kill on impact). While the boy is grateful, he also...you know what I don't know how to say anything more without spoilers so all I'm going to say is a awesome psychological battle begins and awesomeness follows. Sorry for the lack of posts and the lack of content in this particular post, I'll see if I can think of a way to accurately summarize this anime without spoilers and without simply calling it awesome...which it is. Anyway that's it for me this time anyway so get out there and watch this anime, not only for your own enjoyment but also for those who can't watch it, because their computer is stupid!!!
