My Recommendation List Episode I

Today I am making recommendations. My first is the anime Azumanga Daioh. I greatly enjoy this anime and have watched it multiple times. It may be considered "girly" but I like it anyways and recommend it to any fan of slice-of-life high school anime. You can watch it here.

I also have to recommend Kung Fu Hustle to anyone who has not yet seen it. It is a fantastic action comedy by acclaimed Chinese director Stephen Chow. I must say it's quite hilarious and more than that the effects and fight scenes are amazing. Highly recommended to anyone who likes kung fu movies or Jackie Chan type films.

I also would like to make the recommendation of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan for all my fantasy reading fans. It's got a Lord of the Rings type feel and is very well written. The final book is due to come out later this year. I recommend you pick up all of the books ASAP.

Harry Potter And the Order of the Sorcerer's Half-blood Hangover of the Chamber of Azkaban

Today I was able to see some great movies. I finally got to see Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince along with The Hangover. Of course Harry Potter is loosely based on the book by the same name. I only say loosely because I'm not so sure a lot of the parts were in there, then again I only read the book once where as I've read the first five at least 7 times each. Never-the-less the movie was still great. I loved every minute that I saw when I wasn't waiting in a horrendously long line for a drink refill or running to the bathroom because I drink too much. 9/10 for movie 6/8 (the last book was split into two movies).

The Hangover was hilarious. There's a good reason why it was the number one movie in America for so long. The whole time I was thinking "I could totally see me and my buddies doing this". I also loved the whole cast, even though many of them I hadn't seen before or had only seen a few times. I can't wait to get it on DVD. 9/10 to this glorious comedy.
