Ketsu! Metsu! Tenketsu!



I'm not a real manga or anime fans. As a matter of fact, the only "manga" I actually read is Conan. (Comic is manga, and cartoon is anime, right? At least that's what my real manga fans friend told me). So yes, Weldud (my manga anime freak friend, haha!) had been continously talking about this Kekkaishi thing, which make me curious. What in the world is that?? Until one afternoon as I switched on tv, and there it was! Voila! Kekkaishi on Animax. Perhaps it's been there already since last February, but I didn't notice it. As I said before, I'm not a real manga/anime fans. (But, oh! I LOVE watching Atashinchi, tho! Haha).

Back to Kekkaishi, it wasn't the first episode which I saw that afternoon. Of course many blank spots and missing links everywhere, Lol! So I asked Weldud for sure, for some info. But still many questions hanging. Just like when you're watching Glee for the first time, and you kept on wondering "Which one is Glee?". Dumb-arse. Haha! Reading online manga, doesn't do me good. My eyes got tired easily. Besides, I think I read 'em in wrong direction. What is it? Left to right? Or is it right, right to left? Huh?! Luckily, there's Youtube, my great savior! *evilish laugh* Watching it is more fun, because I can hear the "cute" Japanese dub. Always love to hear other language. So there I was, clicking on Youtube, watching an anime. Wutta a grateful kinda life. And God is good. What grab my attention is that these three spells the Kekkaishi use to fight demons: Tetsu! (This is to freeze the demon inside an ice-cube? I think.), Ketsu! (This is the coolest one! The entrapped demon is demolished by this spell. Fall apart into pieces.), and Tenketsu! (By this spell, that demon's spirit is going inside this small hole in the Kekkaishi's stick, directly to heaven.) Heaven? Or is it hell? Uhm. Hell I dunno. I'll read more later.

Anyway... Isn't that cool?? All this time, I've been reading and watching Conan, CSI, Hawkeye & Amy, STOP, Hitchcock, etc. (Be my guest, say it, I'm old. Yeah.) And none of them seem to easily capture a problem and dismiss them as quickly as a tsk! Usually they investigate, taking pictures, sketches, sniff-sniff here and there, analizing, etc. Then they make conclusion which solve the problem. Watching Kekkaishi, I was like given a quick-fix to solve a problem. If only problem can be freezed as easy as crying out a Ketsu! And destroy this annoying problem, shouting Metsu! And of course dump it, wishing it never appear again, entering Tenketsu!

Heh heh. I'm having another day-dreaming. Comparing real life with an anime. I need my coffee now.

Kopsu!!
