[Review] Naruto: Road to Ninja

Road to Ninja movie poster.
I missed the first ten minutes of this movie because I attended the 2013 Ozine Fest! It is not my first time to be late in a cinema but I regretted it. I mean, Naruto, one of my favorite anime, is showing in the big screen! How could I have been late?

 This movie is still in anime format. The language is in Japanese but the subtitles are big enough to read on the big screen. We follow the Naruto Shippuden arc where the hero, Naruto, is all mature. The plot of Road to Ninja is independent of the series. But seeing this movie will give you a deeper perspective of Naruto's character and history. 

 Road to Ninja is about Naruto (of course) who suddenly encounters Madara. The villain uses his Sharingan to trap Naruto and Sakura in a world of illusion that he created. Now our heroes need to find their way out. However, Madara has a hidden ulterior motive that will put them to the test. 

 This movie balances comedy and drama. Thus, it will take you to a roller coaster ride of emotions. The humor will make you laugh your heart out. But when the sad situations start to kick in, you will hold back tears, or even cry. Furthermore, this movie presented extraordinary action scenes and continuous twists. Just when you thought everything is fine, another adversity appears... then another and another. Add the surprise element to that!

 Character development focuses a little on Sakura and more on Naruto. For those who don't follow the series regularly, this movie is a big help. It gave an in depth understanding of Sakura and Naruto's attitudes and life stories. 

 The sounds, animation, and character design stays true to the manga version. There is still the lighting-like sound of rasengan, or the clanging sounds of kunai and shuriken! The mangaka/creator of Naruto, Masashi Kishimoto, has been active in the development of this movie after all. Because of that, Road to Ninja didn't disappoint fans. 

The run time of this movie is approximately 1 hour and 50 minutes. You should watch this! It is worth your time and money! Oh! Make sure you come on time... I think the first 10 minutes was full of action scenes! And I missed that! Argh~~

 Ratings:
Movie Poster: 5 stars (even the poster tells the summary of the movie in one go! Bravo!)
Sounds: 5 stars
Animation: 5 stars
Plot: 5 stars
Overall: 5 STARS

Presenting The Starbucks 2014 Planner

There are a lot of 2014 planners available out there. For this post, let me share with you the 2014 Starbucks Planner. Every December, people are talking about it! The cover and the layouts are something to look forward to, as well. For this year, it came in four colors: yellow, magenta, brown, and black. The black one is the Philippine edition ( hmmm, tempting! ). I'm very much impressed because the cover feels like leather.  I will feature the magenta one. My friend owns this. I already have a planner for 2014, owning another doesn't make sense at all. Hehehe ~ So, I decided to take some photos of it and share what's inside. (^_^) Left: the box, Right: the planner.  The cover is embossed with coffee icons and Starbucks coffee blend logos. I noticed the symbol for their coffee Sumatra and the elephant icon for Kenya. The 2014 Starbucks Planner in magenta I saw the symbol of the Starbucks coffee blend Sumatra embossed on it. Here is a really cute featur

My Chouhou Gundam

I am so excited to write about the latest addition to my Gundam collection!  This time, I got it from the Gundam Caravan Booth last Best of Anime 2012 ! It was a fun-filled event full of cosplayers and various booths !  This time, we were given the Chouhou Gundam to setup. Uhm, I'm not sure if there is another name for this Gundam. However, the Katakana characters read as "Chouhou", so let me stick with that.  The box of Chouhou Gundam. Hey! This one is new! Other than the manual for setting up, there is also comics inside the box. Wow! It is great as I will get to know more about this Gundam! But time was of the essence, so I decided to move on with building and detailing and set aside reading for later. Comics inside the Chouhou Gundam box. So let us start with the steps in setting up. Here are the photos: We start off with the feet Then the head was next. Putting stickers on is hard, you know. Of course, we need the torso to connect the

Proud to be a Bella

May 21 2011 had been added to my list of memorable days thanks to the girls of Belle de Jour Power Planner. That special day was the BDJ Girls' Rendevous for the month of May. The theme was I Dream, therefore I can.  It was one of the biggest event to date. Almost 100 slots were available to be filled. The invitation to the event was given through various contests. I got my slot in this event through the Belle de Jour Facebook Fan Page. They posted a question at exactly 2:54 PM of May 5, 2011. They posted a question as their status which was: Question, Bellas:   How do you unwind/relax when you're stressed from school or work?   The first 25 BDJ Girls who will comment on THIS THREAD will get a slot at the BDJ Rendezvous: I Dream Therefore I Can! : ) When I saw that post, I immediately wrote "I watch my favorite teleserye." Woah! Believe it or not, I got the lucky 25th slot. Weee! The Rendevous was held in Ace Water Spa in Ortigas. I thought that swimming wi
