Fairy Tail (Manga) add (All reviews)
Where did it go wrong Hiro? You had an immensly popular manga at your disposal to really give all your readers a satisfying manga to reread over and over again. You had the chance to make Fairy Tail something really, really great . But you wasted the opportunity. You have thrown it away by being stubborn to the end.
Of course, I'm not saying this out of no reason. There are a lot of good reasons as to why many readers, including me, were sooooo disappointed at how the manga turned out. However, there is one main reason that has been the biggest downfall to Fairy Tail, and that is the formula.
You see, Fairy Tail only ever has the same formula for every single one of its arcs. Meet Enemy, Fight, Get beaten up, .... activate Friendship power and win. That's it. That is the one and ONLY formula Hiro relies on to create each and every arcs. It's so ridiculous to the point that, in the later arcs, everyone could predict the outcome of the fight so easily. "Fairy Tail will win, Fairy Tail will not lose a single member because Natsu and co. will activate their bullshit asspull to overcome the enemy every single fight." This asspull was somehow most present in the damn FINAL ARC. Meet strong enemies, Fight but get pushed back a bit, then a random speech about family, friends, guild... then win. It's unbelievable how the "hyped" fights were all ended this way. This, this right here is what truly killed Fairy Tail.
There are other reasons as well. The characters were too linear and undeveloped throughout the entire story. Although some of them did seem to get development, particularly Gray, it got nullified towards the end of the story as they just became the same, dumb characters they once were. Almost all of them did have potential to become better to even great characters, but nearly all remained too same, and too much of an annoyance throughout the end.
The plot holes are also very much evident. I can't count the number of times a Fairy Tail guild member had an intense fight and just walked the injury off afterwards like nothing. Characters like Erza, Natsu, Gray... they should be out, they should have been unable to move so easily after the "intense" fights. But of course they are able to run around just minutes/chapters after.
Convenient plot devices like some bullshit returns and lame deux ex machinas did not help cover plot holes either. Oh, and did I mention that there are basically no deaths in the story? This should really have gone with the formula part I wrote, but the fact that almost every characters just come back alive or not die after "fatal" blows is infuriating. Hiro, you could have created some quite powerful moments through some deaths, all the while developing characters, but you chose to bring them back just a couple chapters later... sigh...
Another brief thing I want to bring up is the fanservice. Now, I don't mind a bit of fanservice at all, but Fairy Tail has fanservices all over the place, even in places they do not belong at all. Normal, everyday life will have some kind of fanservice and of course, the supposedly "toughest fight of their lives" will have some kind of fanservice. It really gets ridiculous and just makes light of any kind of situation, even though when the tone is supposed to be darker. *cough, Grand Magic Games, cough*
All right, so is there anything good? Anything?
First, there is the art which is very attractive to many people, including me. The character designs are pretty good, the background is nice and detailed, and overall, although a bit similar to One Piece, the art maintains a clean yet detailed complement to the series. Just unfortunate that the nice character designs didn't equal good characters in the end.
There was one particular arc that actually stood out in the midst of mediocre and bad arcs. And that was the 2nd to last (or 3rd to last if you count the Avatar arc) of the series. Without spoiling it too much, the Tartarus arc is without a doubt the best arc of the series. Contrary to just about every other arc, Tartarus actually has some emotion in it. Not only that, it brings some really surprising revelations the fans were asking for years, along with newer powerups for some characters. It still follows much of the same formula as the rest of the series, but there's no doubt that this was the arc I've enjoyed the most.
Chapterwise, The earlier chapters did give some entertainment and couple chapters midway through the story were pretty fun. Also, the last chapter turned out to be fairy good, at least better than the ending in bleach and Naruto.
That's it really. I was going to give this a higher score had the Final arc been as good as the Tartarus arc, but it was an epic failure, one of the worst in the series. I don't really recommend this series to anyone anymore, especially after the travesty that was the Final Arc. So please, if you want to save some time by not reading through something that will infuriate and disappoint you, please step away.
Actually, just go onto youtube and find the music scores for Fairy Tail. The music score is undeniably great, and most of them are worth listening to at least once. Which makes it even more shame as it was wasted on this.
Good job Hiro Mashima. Good job on throwing away a potentially great manga. read more

The plot isn't original, but that isn't always a bad thing. Alderamin is mainly focused on the war between two neighboring empires Katjvarna and the Republic of Kioka, and the struggles of Ikta and his comrades fighting in the war. Besides the ongoing warfare between the two countries, there are also tension within the empire and other battles with various clans. The usage of strategies are pretty good and the battles are meaningful. Unfortunately, early on, Alderamin suffers from a slow start, taking around three episodes to really get going and not really explaining too much during that time. However, after a couple of episodes, Alderamin quickly grew on me. The first real battle scene they showed brought a lot of promise, and it brought a much needed darker tone to the story. One thing I would've liked explained earlier though, was this little things called spirits who help fight in battle. They are there, but aren't exposed enough until late in the show. To be really honest, I feel like the show could've done just fine without these little creatures.
These problems could've been fixed had there been more episodes. I always feel like 13 episodes or 1 cour isn't enough for many, especially action/war based anime to really accomplish their full potential in terms of storytelling, characters, and the overall depth. Most of the times, the story will be rushed, and in Alderamin's case, since it started of very slow, the anime suffered from pacing and development issues.
The animation is the standout point of the series for me. Although a bit inconsistent in pacing at times, Madhouse still impressed me in the end. The efforts they put in each episode in terms of the action is refreshing to see. In an anime like this, awesome battles need to make you feel excitement and hyped, and madhouse delivers just that. The battles are brutal and bloody. The character designs are pretty good and the animation as a whole was crisp.
The op and ed are great, but a part of me wishes that the soundtracks were more memorable. It is good for what it is; doesn't feel out of place or anything, but it could have been better and more impactful. The voice acting is pretty good for each characters and personalities. We could've used a little bit more emotion in their voice though.
One of my favorite aspects of the series is definitely the MC, Ikta Solork. He isn't like all those generic, hardworking MCs like other series. In fact he is lazy and doesn't hide his love for women. However, beneath that layer, you really get to know that he is very intelligent and caring for his comrades. He isn't afraid to take risks in battles and forming strategies. He manages to somehow be badass while having a lazy personality. Although he isn't the greatest character, he is a breath of fresh air from the overdone MC cliches. In a way he could be compared to Itami from the Gate series. Both are lazy and aren't exactly that "hero" type but their other personality shines in battles.
Although the other main cast is on the generic side, one other character that deserves a mention is the main heroine Yatori. Although she herself could be classified as a generic female MC of any battle anime, it is her relationship with Ikta that makes her likable. Although she is the stronger fighter, you can tell that she still looks up to Ikta's talents and believes in him during when others might doubt his strategies. She isn't annoying nor thinks she is supreme to the MC in any way, which was refreshing to see at times.
Besides the two MCs, the other characters, besides Chamille are a bit underdeveloped. The unfortunate thing about this is that normally, if the characters were entertaining enough, I wouldn't have minded if the development happened later on in the series, but for Alderamin, the other characters aren't just interesting enough. One thing I did like is that the main cast all had a purpose for fighting in the war, whereas in many other anime, the purpose can be buried away without explanation. Also they are actually helpful. However, they certainly could've been written a bit better.
Overall, Alderamin on the Sky is an good show, but nothing outstanding. It starts slow but once the pace picks up, it becomes an entertaining show for what it is. The plot could have been better, the characters could have certainly be explored more, and it indeed stayed on the generic side of things at times, but the intense battle scenes and the fun personality of the MC kept me wanting for more. With the story not yet being finished, we are left with an open ending. Alderamin on the Sky is definitely a worthwhile show to pick up. read more

Danganronpa 3: Future arc is a sequel and essentially a finale to the Danganronpa series. Whereas the counterpart Despair arc is a prequel to the entire story, Future arc details the story after the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic event in human history. It reintroduces the killing game shown in the DR series prior, except this time, in the real world, without any school rules. There are completely fresh batch of characters, some whom we eventually see fall.
Future arc centers around the main survivors of the events in DR1, along with the division leaders of the Future Foundation. The leaders themeselves had thought that they already caught the traitor, but little did they know they had already fallen into the real traitor's trap. To make the matters worse, this time the killings don't end in a class trial as it did in previous games. Instead, they have to find the traitor and kill him to end it once and for all.
The story is basically kill or be killed. Unlike Despair arc which starts off with a more light hearted tone that constantly evolves into a more brooding tone, Future arc starts off with a darker tone straight of the bat. The first couple of seconds of ep 1 essentially shows how the world has become since the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic event in human history. And throughout, the episodes are just constantly filled with tension as the characters try to somehow find a way to survive.
Future arc also manages to weave in characters from all three Danganronpa series. Whether it is a whole episode dedicated to them or if it's just a couple of moments, it is still fun to watch the rest of the other game's cast after their events.
A problem with this kind of a setting though is the pacing, which was noticeable in Future arc. One episode could be filled with new events while the next could be slightly disappointing and rushed. However, the still lingering mysteries about the traitor and the NG codes (the only "rules" in the killing game) kept me hooked throughout. One huge disappointment was the plot twists regarding the DR 1 characters. At first I thought, "this is really happening," but then after a couple of episodes and even in the Hope arc, the plot twist got ruined by playing it safe.
The animation is great and the action scenes are fun to watch. The art itself was also a good point from Future arc. Like the tone, the color schemes of Future arc constantly stays on the darker color, unlike Despair arc which slowly transitions from lighter to darker. Also to emphasize the impact of the killing game, the staff even decided to change the blood from pink to red. At first, I didn't know how to feel about this as the pink blood was a unique part of the danganronpa series, but it was understandable considering this was the finale and they had to really highlight the brutality of the final killing game.
One interesting aspect, like I mentioned, is that Despair arc events has great meaning in the Future arc. Knowing what happens in Despair arc comes in handy for the Future arc.
The opening song is great and the soundtracks are decent. However, being a guy who really pays attention to the OSTs, the ones in Future arc were slightly underwhelming. There is also an awesome cast of new voice actors who did great, alongside the voices we were already accustomed to.
Obviously, the most important part of Danganronpa series are its characters. When I was going through each DR series for the first time, I always wondered if I would get attached to the characters. The same was for the Future arc. Unfortunately, It's safe to say I like some of the characters, but not more than I wanted to. Maybe because the anime was just a 12 episode series and not an entire Visual novel, but it was harder for me to get attached to the characters. Some of them died too quickly, granted it was to showcase the brutality of the killing game but still. Some of them started out just plain annoying, although one certain character did get more fleshed out than the most. In the latter episodes, a lot more characters get fleshed out a bit more, which was nice to see. . We got backgrounds and more personalities: whether interesting or annoying. However, it was still minimal, so I honestly did not care for most of them. One of the characters got more depth than most of any other characters in other DR series even. Anyways, although the new characters do show interesting traits and personalities, it was rather hard to get attached to most of them quickly. It was only after a couple more episodes that I got somewhat attached to more characters.
After 11 episodes, I have to say that the developments of some characters are pretty awesome to see. For example (SPOILER: Juzo), was one character I thought I would never like, but in the end he became the most developed and also became my favorite from the new cast.
As for the original DR1 cast, they were pretty much the same. Kyouko being the smart detective trying to find out the traitor, Hagakure being Hagakure, and Naegi being that typical "not let anyone die" MC. One thing I liked from the original cast was Asahina, whom you could clearly see matured and developed after the killing game in DR1.
Although their are clear flaws in both pacing and early characterization wise, Future arc still is a pretty decent watch. As with the DR games, it is always so stressful for the new episode to come out because you don't know who might die. The mystery of the traitor is not obvious and make you think of all the possibilities. One of the biggest downsides, however, is the underwhelming ending. Character wise, although it startes out in a weak manner, gets better as episodes progress, though it is heavily limited. Although both Despair arc and Future arc are disappointing in many aspects, both are still a decent watch for dangaronpa fans. read more

DR3: Despair arc is essentially a prologue to the DR story. It centers around the 77th class of the Hope's Peak acadmey, who btw are the main cast of the 2nd game: SDR2. The setting, once so happy and carefree, turns into one of the darkest points in their history: a prologue to the Biggest, Most Awful, Most Tragic event in human history. As the title and premise says, don't expect a happy ending to this. Although it starts off like your typical slice of life school anime, there is a brooding tone that constantly evolves as the episodes contiunously progress, awaiting to become a monster that destroys the students daily lives with despair. This tone starts as lighthearted then transitions into a darker mood, eventually becoming something outright disturbing. Suddenly, the happy, slice of life school setting is no more, instead it becomes violent, bloody and despair-inducing.
One thing I liked is that they didn't linger or focus too much into the events the game already touched to an extent, like the Twilight Syndrome case. Just showing things in Hajime's point of view, and that was the better thing to do for the series.
One thing I would've liked was to see the 78th class just a bit more than a cameo, like their original interactions with Junko, but with the anime being just 1 cour, it's understandable that they had to leave that out.
A disappointing isssue was that he pacing is a noticeably off. I feel like 11 episodes for the 77th class wasn't enough in the end. If it could have gotten a little bit more time, and cut a little bit more of the fanservice, I think the whole tragedy and the aftermaths could have been done better.
(SPOILERS: For example, the scene of "her" death and the 77 class turning into despair could have used an in-between scene. Maybe one that goes more in-depth of how the class fully submitted to Junko. The skip between the death scene and the finale was too sudden, considering the two were a couple months apart.)
The animation of the characters are really fun to watch as a fan. Just seeing all those characters I loved so much from the 2nd game animated is just so exciting. I felt that one good touch was that as episodes progress and tends to get darker, the art itself progresses to a more darker mood along with the story. Even the opening changes during the middle, to a much more darker color. It was a very nice touch to have, considering what was coming.
The OP/ED is pretty good, and the soundtracks were decent, although it could've been better. One thing I did like is how they used some game soundtracks for good nostalgia. The voice acting is fantastic as usual though, just like the games. The voices fit so well with the characters, which always helps the experience.
The most important part of the despair arc (and the rest of the danganronpa series in general) are without a doubt the characters. If I didn't care for the characters, I would never have felt anything for them and thus I probably wouldn't have cared what happened to them. Now, since the most of the cast were fleshed out pretty well in SDR2, it wasn't that hard to make me like them from the get go. However, one thing I would've liked to see is just making the cast even stronger. I know that Chiaki, Hinata, and Nagito are indeed the important characters, but I also would've liked those without too much game time from SDR2 to get a bit more exposure and development, like Teruteru and Mahiru to an extent. What I'm glad though, is the screen time the Ultimate Imposter got. Anyways, even if some characters are not getting the desirable screen time, they are still enjoyable to watch. This is also an important reason to play the games before watching this. You just get to know the characters better and smile as they are finally interacting cheerfully without being forced to kill each other. And of course, feel a lot more sadness when they are forced to go through "that process". However, one thing that I am really glad Despair arc managed was Mukuro and Junko getting a bit more depth, as well as Mitarai.
One thing I didn't really like though, was how it put focus on the future arc characters for a couple of episodes, halting potential DR0 scenes and even halting the depth of the characters and their downfall. It's a shame that the despair process did not go as I imagined thanks to this, as I would've preferred the "despairification" process to be on a more personal level. Having more than 11 episodes would have helped.
As a huge fan of the danganronpa series, I feel both love and disappointment with the DR 3. On one hand, I loved seeing the characters I loved so much animated, interacting with each other. Even the first two episodes which were basically fan service was enjoyable to watch. Although honestly, they could have made the slice-of-life moments shorter just so we could've had more plot development earlier on. And on the other hand there were pacing issues, like I've mentioned. Also, the despair arc is also a big 'what could have been'. What if they would have personalized the despairification process? I think that would have been a better way to showcase and further the depth of both the characters and how they became "despair". Nonetheless, I had this huge smile while watching the first couple of episodes, only for it to turn to sadness and eventually into complete anxiousness as I knew what would eventually happen to the cast. It could have been much better, in fact, after rewatchign the series a couple of times, I just feel disappointed in how the revelation of how the 77th class turned into despair. It's still a fine watch.
Give the entire series (games + anime) a try! It's definitely worth your time. read more

Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara (Anime) add (All reviews)
Shokugeki no Souma has been one of my favorite series for some time. Why? It's because it so damn entertaining. Where it might lack in the story, it makes it up for its consistent entertainment found in every single episode. That's not to say the story is bad however, as I find it quite fun and solid. Don't like ecchi? Well, as much as others like to say it, the show isn't ALL about those ridiculous 'foodgasms'. It also involves a good amount of emotions, fun 'battle'(cooking) scenes, and decent amount of development. In fact, I'd honestly like it just as much without the foodgasm scenes. The amount of effort and detail they put into the food and cooking is enough to make even the viewers craving for the food. And all things considered, this is how you do a proper cooking anime, making viewers hungry for more and more.
The animation in the 2nd season is just as amazing as the first. Although having a slightly rushed first episode, it manages to pick back up the original pace without too much dragging and rushing. he fast-paced cooking scenes are animated so fluidly and the whole show is just an eye-catcher in terms of the characters and the food.
Unfortunately, it does get rushed a bit in the later episodes again, but not too much. This kind of problem could have been fixed if the anime was 2 cour but unfortunately it isn't.
Like the first season, the music is one of my favorite aspect of the anime adaptation. Along with the animation, it just adds so much more to the scenes, especially the cooking scenes. Also really liked the fact that they still kept a couple of great osts from the first season as well. OP/ED are worth checking out as well, although I still prefer the 1st season ones.
The voice acting is great, but nothing too amazing i'd say. Each VA's fit their roles well, and big props to the VA's who had to do the foodgasms, because they sell it hilariously well.
Moving on, the characters look like your typical shounen stereotypes. However, the thing that makes me actually like these characters are that every single character are just entertaining to watch, as in no annoying characters whatsoever imo. The character interactions are great, and it does have a good amount of developments throughout the story. They have a bit of depth in them, and all of them are just really likable. For me, the best part of the series is the protagonist, Yukihira Souma. He is such a smooth MC: not annoying, boring or anything of that matter. He's the one that brings all the comedy, entertainment and the intensity of the show together. At times he's just straight up ridiculous and silly, but he also has this serious/badass side, and that's when you know shit is about to go down. Overall, the characters might seem like shounen cliches, but the cast makes it up for being very entertaining.
Both seasons of Shokugeki no Souma are a great, entertaining watch for anyone. Unfortunately, since it's only 13 episodes, some contents from the manga are indeed skipped, and the pacing is a bit inconsistent at times. But even without the skipped parts, the story is still tied well together. Some of you might not like it if you aren't that into the concept of foodgasms but it's still worth the watch purely for the entertainment it effortlessly brings on the table. read more

It was a pretty good finale, but had some disappointing aspects just like the main anime.
The best part of the entire episode was definitely the DR 2 characters getting back to action once again. They're just so fun to watch, as always. I loved seeing the DR 2 cast interact with the DR 1 cast, in a less serious atmosphere this time around.
The animation and sound were about the same from the DR 3 series, and it's really fun seeing DR 2 characters in the Future arc setting. The soundtracks were good but I was a bit disappointed some of the osts from the games weren't used, especially the intro theme.
You know what, although there were a bit more issues with the anime than what I would've liked, just seeing the DR 2 cast back again and interact with the DR 1 cast made this episode great for me, even if "SPOILER" I didn't really like Kyouko being alive again. Thought it would've made much more impact at the end if she stayed dead. It kinda feels like Kodaka pulled out at the last second, and it somewhat made the NG codes and Bandai's death look cheap. But I'm sure some of her fans are happy.
It's a short, yet packed finale. The anime indeed made some questionable decisions throughout, but nonetheless managed to wrap up many things from both the games and the rest of the DR 3 anime nicely.
Finally, I thank you, Kodaka, and every other staff involved with the series, for bringing us the Danganronpa series to our home.

You probably have already seen this kind of a premise before. The main character living in a normal world, suddenly gets dragged into a completely different world. And also time travel. It is not the most unique premise by any means, but time travelling as a genre has been one of the more difficult ones to work with. In anime, time travel might not make sense, create gigantic plot holes, and can potentially halt any kind of character development. Unfortunately, Re:Zero does have some small plot holes regarding time traveling, but that's to be expected since the story is not yet completed. However, Re:Zero still brilliantly manages to weave in the time travelling aspect of it so that it still manages to be entertaining and bring a good development.
I also feel like that this anime is a great example of how to make every single episodes. It doesn't drag, nor feel boring. Each and every episode is just so fun and makes you want to watch more and more of it. Another awesome thing to point out is that, Re:zero sometimes likes to omit openings and endings in some episodes, giving it even more minutes to work with, which was awesome to see, as one thing I feel like most anime need more of is time. (This is not saying the openings and endings are bad in any way.).
One unfortunate thing about this anime however, is the fact that the adaptation isn't close to finishing yet, so we are left with a lot of unanswered questions. Lot of things like the essence of how Subaru is able to go back to a certain checkpoint or the fate of the bowel hunter is still unclear.
The animation is also fantastic. It doesn't have clunky movements nor uncomfortable lighting. The fight scenes are great to watch, but the best parts for me were those lighting touches in the background which contrasted well with whatever the scene given. Sometimes light, sometimes dark, it just affects the mood of the scene so well. Some episodes, the animation is done so brilliantly that some scenes almost feels like a movie.
The sound section is great as well.. The soundtracks are really nice to listen to, the standouts being the ones with choir, and they accompany the scenes really well, especially in episode 15. It isn't a standout of the anime, but it is definitely worth noting, as it manages to stay consistent throughout the episodes. The voice acting in Re:Zero is amazing. The seiyuus, especially Kobayashi Yuusuke (Subaru), bring out some amazing emotions from the characters, which obviously is a must have in a despair-inducing anime like Re:Zero. Also, who can forget Yoshitsugu Matsuoga's unbelivable performance on Beteleguese? The voices aren't annoying, the soundtracks are great, and the OP/ED are one of the best of the season. It is just a really solid aspect in the show.
Now the most important part in any anime: the characters. First thing is, I see a LOT of hate for Subaru. Granted he isn't strong and is sometimes frustrating to watch, but I personally don't think he's that bad of a character. We see him struggle, fight against the seemingly impossible, and eventually develop as the series goes on. He might not be the most pleasing MC to watch at first, but I feel like this is what Re:Zero is all about: Natsuki Subaru's development. You first see a guy, cocky and arrogant, who runs into hopeless despair, so useless, yet trying to do everything by himself, transform into a guy who willingly seeks help from others to save Emilia and many others from the horrible fate awaiting them.
There are also a lot of other diverse characters in the show. Rem, for example, is easily the most likable character in the show. Her strong willed determination and great fighting prowess is a shining light to Subaru in many ways. We also have Emilia, Suabru's love interest and a half elf trying to ascend the throne although being discriminated by others for being too similar to a witch. The relationship between her and Subaru, although at times cliche, develops throughout the series, along with Subaru's personality.
One thing I like about Re:Zero is that it literally has everything in terms of characters: Struggling MC, powerful woman beside the MC, maids, lolis, traps, knights, psychos... everything.
To sum it up, Re:Zero is definitely a must watch show from the year of 2016. Its intensity, suspense, plot twists, and development makes the hype completely justifiable imo. The awesome fights and dramatic cliffhangers all add to the anime. Though the story itself is might not yet completed, the questions might still remiain, these unanswered questions only further serve as a good reason to watch the next season of this great anime.

Charlotte (Anime) add (All reviews)
However it fell apart from there. Like many anime, it suffered from pacing and plot issues
I'm not going to say Angel Beats or Clannad was perfect, they too suffered issues with pacing as well, but to say both were far superior works would be an understatement. The beginning episode of Charlotte was an interesting story about our protagonist Yuu and his devilsh sort of personality and showing off what his power was. It actually gave me a lot of hope and anticipation for the rest to come. But the little bit of hope in me got smashed to pieces once the thing got rolling.
I won't lie. The only thing I was really hoping for was just a nicely paced show with a bit of laugh and some emotion. Did I get any of that when I was done watching? No, none at all. The jokes were corny, the development in characters was nonexistent, and not once did I feel a single bit of emotion like I got from Clannad: AS. In fact, even the biggest "emotional" scene in Charlotte was completely ruined by an unnecessary asspull and whatever emotion we were supposed to feel was well... gone. Simply, the plot holes ruined the anime as a whole. The story didn't seem connected, characters randomly showed up without any real explanation and the build up to the finale was absolutely disastrous. I have said in the past that Angel Beats! was rushed, but it was nothing compared to the god-awful pacing and the plot holes Charlotte contained. In the end NOTHING made sense. Oh and don't even get me started on the romance. The straight up forced romantic relationship between the two lead characters was cringeworthy, to say the least. No explanation, no development, no real chemistry and we are just given a love story without any developing feelings between the two beforehand.
The characters, man the characters were almost as bad as the plot itself. We have Yuu, and to be perfectly honest, I liked him in the first episode. He showed personality, he wasn't original, but it was something to get the show going. Then the next few episodes come out, and whatever personality he had is completely gone. Gone. Just like that. The devilish, mischievous personality he once had is now treated as a non-factor throughout the rest of the series, reducing him to a bland, tripe character.
The other characters are barely worth mentioning either. Barely showing personalities, and no development whatsoever, they are even worse than our protagonist. The show didn't explore these characters enough, and some, like I said just showed up through random backstories and added nothing to the story except more plot holes. The fact that the characters were simply nonexistent just hurt whatever emotional scene they tried to pull off. Without good characters, the plot simply cannot get going. This is why I think the characters are the most important part of any show. Good characters can get even the worst of plots watchable. Sadly, it was not the case for Charlotte.
The art as you might have expected, is great. The art/animation is probably the only saving grace of the anime. But then again, one could even sasy that the great art/animation was wasted in this show. The soundtracks weren't memorable, but the voice acting was pretty good at least.
In conclusion, Charlotte was yet another anime that failed to fully capitalize on its potential. Its another one of those "could have been good" anime. The pretty art might fool some people, but in the end, what we got was an absolute mess of an anime. Terrible plot, rushed pacing, cringeworthy romance, and nonexistent characters ruined what could have been good.

One Piece (Anime) add (All reviews)
One Piece was one of my first anime I've watched. (first being pokemon ofc) It was the anime that got me into anime, especially when there was a time where I thought anime was boring and a waste of time. I literally thought that they didn't have anything special about it. However, after getting a recommendation from my brother, One Piece really changed my views on anime. Since I barely knew about anime at that time, I was really intrigued by the aspect of pirates and adventure. I watched one episode, then another, and another... and I was hooked to the show in no time at all. Because I was impressed by One Piece, I started watching other shows, mostly of the similar genre. From then, my love for anime has grew and grew, and is still growing to this day and it's all thanks to one great piece of anime.
One Piece takes place during the Great Age of Pirates, which started when the King of Pirates, Gol D. Roger announced to the world shortly before his death that he had hidden his greatest treasure, the "One Piece" somewhere, and told others to find it. About 20 years later, a boy named Monkey D. Luffy, who ate the Gomu Gomu no mi devil fruit, also interested in finding the One Piece and exploring the world, sets out on a journey full of exciting adventures, dangerous pirates and marines, and meeting new friends. From there, he makes many new comrades to support his journey.
The story itself seems nothing special, but it evolves as the time goes on. At the time of writing this review, One Piece is at 670 episodes, which might tell you that it is rather drawn out. However, during those 670 episodes, they slowly build the world and characters into something unique and huge, enhancing the story bit by bit. The story arcs are fantastic and well thought out, sometimes leaving you in awe. In the story arcs, you are usually introduced to other minor characters, some who are equally interesting to watch just as the main characters. And the fights as a whole, are really well paced and entertaining, mixing blends of action, humor, and drama to keep you hooked.
Also, like most other long running anime, One Piece does have its share of fillers. BUT, they have nowhere near an overwhelming amount of fillers and some fillers can even be enjoyable as well. The fillers also introduce you to new characters, who although non-canon, are still pretty likable as well.
Like many other animes, One Piece also has a system of supernatural powers. In the world of One Piece, there are things known as Devil Fruits, which essentially take the shape of real-life fruits, but taste horrible and give consumers a unique power. Depending on the user and how they use it, the Devil Fruit can become something very powerful. The concept of the Devil Fruit is one of the most impressive aspects of One Piece. There are three types of known Devil Fruit: Paramecia, which gives you the ability of superhuman ability or traits, Zoan which lets you transform into an animal, and finally Logia, which can transform your body into an element like fire or ice.
The idea of eating something and getting superpowers is nothing new, but the fact that One Piece has shown an immense amount of Devil Fruits already, and that no two fruits are ever the same, is quite impressive. Oda really exercised his creativity level on this part, as while some abilities might come off as goofy, you cannot deny the creativity and work Oda put into some of the fruits and their users.
For the Art... now this is the section I've heard the MOST complaints about. To be honest, I was bit skeptical myself when I first saw the art style. It can come off as cartoonish, childish drawing for the most parts, possibly turning off viewers. However, as I watched on and on, I forgot about it. After a couple of episodes, I honestly didn't CARE for how the art looked, as I was just immensely enjoying the hell out of the show. It's really a hit or miss however, as it can turn many people off completely, while others might not be bothered by it so much.
Also, nowadays, the art in One Piece has improved dramatically. It is much more pleasing to the eye than it ever was. The artwork is fresh and clean. The character designs are also outstanding as well. Some might be drawn rather silly, but the uniqueness in some of the character art is very fun to look at.
Now, I've heard some people say that the soundtracks are rather silly and lame. This really depends on your tastes in music, but I personally found most of the soundtracks amazing. While some of them do come off as silly, the osts all fit the scene and atmosphere very well. The voice acting is also equally impressive, with each of the voice actors fitting their characters perfectly, and also being able to deliver emotion, or intensity depending on the scene.
The characters in the Straw Hat Pirates are special. Not really because they will be the most unique characters you'll ever see, but because of the bond they share with each other. The characters are very well developed, have interesting/fun personalities, and most importantly, they are easy to love. They all have interesting backgrounds, some which are tragic, and are striving to achieve their dreams as they adventure together. As they travel along, they start to care for each other so deeply to the point where they would do anything to protect each other, creating extremely powerful and emotional episodes or arcs at some point.
The Straw Hat crew members are exceptionally great, but the supporting characters themselves are no slouch either. Most of them are designed well and have unique, interesting personalities. Unlike many anime, they aren't just pushed to the side, no. Most of them have interesting, yet traguc backgrounds and goals, and you can't help but cheer for them as they try to achieve their own goals. Some even are just as lovable as the main characters themselves! Hell, I even cheered for some of the antagonists at one point as well, as they were just too likable and unique.
One Piece is an amazing anime. Although not perfect, it still is one of the most fun and entertaining experience I've ever had. I know many people who won't even give One Piece a chance for couple of reasons. Most are turned away by the art, some are discouraged because of the episode count, and some are even victims of the infamous 4kids dub (which was HORRIBLE btw). Well, I can't force people to watch it, but I really think everyone should give One Piece at least a chance. In one anime, you'll be taken through a journey full of adventure, good action, comedy, and drama. Who knows? You could enjoy the hell out of this show, and possibly forget about every downsides I mentioned above.
I sure did, and maybe you could as well, if you just give it a try. read more

Angel Beats!: Heaven's Door (Manga) add (All reviews)
For those who were disappointed with a lack of character backstories in the anime, rejoice, as this manga, so far, covers a couple of other characters not shown in the anime. So far it has covered Shiina, Yusa, Chaa, Ooyama and a bit more clear story of Hinata's death.
I have said in my review of the anime that I was disappointed that only a few characters managed to get proper backstories. The manga, however, has managed to rekindle some of my hopes in wanting to see some other characters go into detail (T.K. and Noda mainly). The characters that were mostly kept in the dark (Shiina, Yusa, Chaa) have interesting backgrounds and had a very different, much darker personality before they eventually joined the SSS. Hinata's "death" was explained much more clearly, and we also got to see what kind of personalities Ooyama and Noda had a bit more clearly. Although we're still far from getting all of the SSS members' backstory, the content of the manga so far is definitely satisfying (although they aren't uploading that much... 34 chapters in about 3 years. Still hoping for the best though...).
As for the art, it's beautiful. I expected nothing less from it. It's clean and has good character and background designs. Just like the anime, it's one of strong points of the manga.
So far, I am enjoying this a lot. I probably enjoyed this more than I enjoyed the anime itself. Some good humor, fighting, and most importantly allowing us to explore into a couple of characters have been enough to make me like this manga more than I thought I would have.
As I am waiting day by day for a new chapter, I'm also hoping that they somehow don't screw this up, and end it early just like the anime. (Which would be Very, VERY disappointing, seeing as how the manga panned out so far.) In the very least, I'm expecting to see at least a couple more characters go into detail, about 4-5 more. Unfortunately the waiting seems to be forever as it's been about 2 months since we got the latest chapter. However, as slow as it might seem, it is still worth waiting for the sake of wanting to know other characters more.
As I have said before, Angel Beats! Heaven's Door is a must read for those who liked the anime. It is also a must read for those who wanted to know more about the other characters, as well as what happened prior to the anime series. All in all, this is turning out to be a great read. Now if they could just keep this up...

In the Toyota line-up, the Sequoia has always been the colossal member, providing the name with a solid model and extraordinary features to have in consideration. But for many years, this SUV didn't receive any major updates, hitting the market year after year only with minor tweaks.
In fact, this treatment coming from Toyota led users to think that the Sequoia, even when selling a good amount of units, had serious plans to cancel its production. Now we know the truth. The 2017 Chicago Auto Show was the place to announce the new 2018 Sequoia, a model will small changes, adding this time a TRD trim, which is something that really interests us.
See Also: The 2018 Audi RS8
We are now going to talk about the 2018 Sequoia and all the novelties coming in it.
Powertrain and Specs
The 2018 Sequoia will enjoy, as standard, a 5.7-litre V8 powerplant known as i-Force. This engine is capable of generating up to 381 horsepower and a maximum torque of 401 lb-ft. To complete the standard setup, Toyota is placing alongside a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Users will have the chance to choose between rear- and four-wheel-drive setups.
There are no details about the power on the TRD version, which is expected to be notably more generous, especially if we consider the tradition in other models branded by the Japanese carmaker's high-performance team.
Other important additions also come under the TRD badge. In the package, we can expect Bilstein dampers and anti-roll bars at both ends. When it comes to performance, at least for the standard model, we can expect an acceleration of 6.7 seconds from zero to 60 mph (km/h). For last year's model, the EPA was rated at 13/17 mpg and we are not expecting dramatic changes here, neither for good or bad.
A Unique Styling
If we recall previous TRD models, like the Tacoma, we will remember how they were mostly off-road oriented, trying to provide an out-of-the-box experience to a particular share of the market that has always been interested in this kind of vehicles.
But when it comes to the 2018 Sequoia, the story seems to be different. The TRD badge will now add styling in a different way, more similar to the 4Runner experiment many years ago. The plan is to convert the 2018 Sequoia into a mean machine with an undisputed bad-ass look.
All the models under the name of Sequoia will enjoy from many visual tweaks. The front end will now have LED headlights and fog lights without paying them as extras. The grille, which was exactly the same since ten years ago, now has a new shape and the detailing will vary depending on the chosen trim.
Inside, Toyota finally decided to change the dashboard, something that many media outlets criticized for years. The update comes in the form of a new gauge cluster with a multi-purpose display. The Toyota Safety Sense-P suite of cutting-edge features will come as standard on all trims.
The Bottom Line
The 2018 Toyota Sequoia is not the massive revamp everyone was expecting but still provide some satisfaction, especially with the new TRD trim. Other trims will also enjoy new additions. SR5, Limited, and Platinum now will be joined by the delightful high-performance badge.
Price has not been announced yet but expected to be around US$50,000.

Gods in the Hills.
Image © Nicole Storck 2006.
Lady Wicklow shakes off her browns and greens this time of year only to reappear with a ruddy and sanguine coat pulled tight around her neck against the cold. It's a breathtaking season, that I have, thankfully over many years been able to enjoy from Wicklows frozen heart.
The wonderful thing about this time of year is that all we are required to do in order to capture at least some of its majesty is point and click.
I'm quite looking forward to my ascent of Tongalee which should be occurring sometime between Christmas and New Years. This time of the season, if you pay attention you can almost hear the breath of the land, inhaling and exhaling, belly moving in time with her breathing, as her mist drifts across the summits of the hills.
This anthropomorphism of Wicklow's ecology is, as I'm sure you probably suspect, not a new thing.
As a matter of fact, at the summit of Tongalee if you pause and look out across the valleys Eastward, you can see what the Pre-Christians used to call "the breasts of Danu" (or Brigit, depending on which books you read or which tribes cosmology you feel like subscribing to). A quattuorvirate of hills which the ancient tribes took as the physical personification of the mother goddess archetype, head, belly and breasts. This was where many religious and magickal rituals were performed to honour the land and its constant cycle of rebirth and death, right on her "bellys" apex.
Thanks to Nicole for the wonderful image.
Peace and Hope

South Florida home inspections
We are a Full Service Certified Inspection company with the resources to assist you in your home buying process
Professional Home Inspection
Florida Panhandle
What Happens During an Inspection With Billings Home Inspections?
Our residential inspections are designed to discover any deal-breaking problems with a property before it's too late. Conducted by a trained and certified professional — or a team of experts, depending on the property's size — they include a thorough evaluation of the structure and all of its components. Here's what to expect from a Billings Home Inspections home assessment:
1. After an order is placed — Once you have scheduled an inspection, we'll send an email confirming the day and time, provide a copy of the service agreement, and a link to pay online. We encourage you to discuss any special questions or concerns with your inspector beforehand, so we can address them during the evaluation.
2. At the time of inspection — The home assessment itself typically takes about two-three hours, depending on the size of the home. (The standard is about an hour per 1,000 square feet.) You don't have to be present the whole time, but we recommend you drop in at least for the last hour to go over the findings and make sure you have a thorough understanding of how to operate the home's systems, such as water and gas service.
3. During the exterior inspection — If weather permits, we typically begin outside, starting up high (gutters and roof) and working our way down (drainage, foundation, crawl space, etc.). We will walk on the roof if it's safe to do so, but our inspectors typically stay off of tile roofing to avoid damage. We will also check the electric panel and often the HVAC system during this phase.
4. During the interior inspection — After assessing the exterior, our inspectors will move inside. This phase includes testing all ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protectors, built-in appliances, sinks, showers, bathtubs, toilets, lighting, as well as anything else we can get to. Our inspectors will access any crawl spaces and attics, as long as they have 14 inches of clearance. If you have ordered a specialty inspection, we will also complete those assessments during this time.
5. Following the inspection — Normally within an hour of leaving the property, but no later than 24 hours of the inspection, Billings Home Inspections will deliver a PDF report that includes an executive summary of our findings, along with photos and links to videos that show problems the inspector discovered. We don't just list what's right and wrong, but we also provide an in-depth analysis of things that could be improved. And we include information about the age and life expectancy of major equipment like the furnace and air conditioner.

Los Milagros 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom | Air Conditioning | WiFi | Sleeps 4
The breathtakingly pretty countryside and wide panoramic views that surround the charming local town of El Gastor have frequently been considered one of the highlights of our exploratory visits to Andalucía. From the country lanes that wend their way through gently undulating fields of olive groves, a sweeping landscape unfolds below, spreading out into the distance towards the turquoise blue waters of the Embalse de Zahara inland lake and the imposing mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema that rise up behind.
It is amidst this picture postcard setting that we discovered Los Milagros, a delightful and beautifully presented cottage that provides an ideal retreat for couples or small groups. Within its charming rooms, striking features such as exposed stone walls and vaulted ceilings are set off against a décor of pretty colours to create a home that instantly appeals whilst the provision of both air conditioning and heating adds to the sense of comfort.
So extensive is this outlook that guests can sit on the poolside terraces or eat al fresco around the in-built barbecue whilst identifying the places they wish to visit on their travels. To the left is the Grazalema National Park, a favourite haunt of nature lovers and trekking enthusiasts; down below the eye-catching hilltop village of Zahara de la Sierra forms a striking landmark on the shores of the lake, whilst directly ahead are the pretty 'pueblos blancos' of Algondonales and Olvera.
Closer to hand, the local town of El Gastor is just a 10 minute drive from the house and provides all amenities and some good restaurants, whilst the historic town of Ronda is just 35 minutes away.
* As this is a protected area of natural beauty, barbecue bans will be enforced from early June and an electric 'plancha' will be provided for outdoor catering.

Good Reading : November 2006
general fiction word of mouth The Lay of the Land Richard Ford The Lay of the Land marks the completion of the Frank Bascombe triptych, after his initial appearance in The Sportswriter and the Pulitzer- winning sequel Independence Day. It's 2000 and Bascombe, still a realtor, has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and has seen his second mar riage dissolve. Nonetheless, he is facing his autumn years with a studied ambivalence, reasoning that he is now in the 'permanent period' where nothing can affect him but the weather. Still, there are drawbacks to the sheltered life: it can 'render possibility small and remote'. He plans for a 'purposefully unspectacular' thanksgiving reunion with his children and sees his first wife, Ann, drift back into his life while Sally s never completely out of the picture, nor out of his mind. There is something quite poignant about Ford's wide- creen portrait of an America which, unbeknown to it, is on the brink of the 9/11 attacks. Epic in scope but finely attuned to the minutiae of everyday life, The Lay of the Land is moving and wise, a must for anyone with even a vague interest in contemporary American writing and a free fortnight. ★★★★ Bloomsbury $32.95 Reviewed by Daniel Herborn Paula Spencer Roddy Doyle He's done it again. Doyle reconnects wonderfully with Paula Spencer, who first featured in his book The Woman Who Walked into Doors. She's still a widowed alcoholic, but she's off the drink; she's still living in Dublin, working as a cleaner; and two of her four children still live at home with her, but one is also an alcoholic. Depressing? Could be, but Paula's life is clearly on the way up, with Doyle capturing the war m ver nacular of the Dublin streets in his staccato sentences. He understands the eggshell-tiptoeing need Paula has to reassure her younger son that she really is 'grand' and off the drink; while not quite knowing how to connect with her older son, a for mer heroin addict, now almost too self- possessed. In this affectionate account of one year in Paula's new life, her aspirations are simple: to open her own bank account, to buy some duvets, to make a pot of soup for the family, and of course, to stay off the booze. Happiness from these achievements and the rough affec- tion she shares with her two sisters far outweigh wor ry about her alcoholic daughter. Gritty humour overlays what is really a jour ney by Everywoman, as Paula takes a newly sober look at life, and revels in it. ★★★★ Jonathan Cape $32.95 Reviewed by Jennifer Somerville Love and Punishment Wendy Harmer Francie, who writes the singles column for the Sunday Press, finds her- self suddenly single: after five years with the seemingly perfect actor Nick he shacks up with fellow actress Poppy. Faced with years of loneliness like her mother or finding a new life, Francie attempts to pull herself out of the hole she's been cowering in for the past six months, but this proves to be quite beyond her for most of the book. The real low point is a visit she makes one night to Poppy's house when she is out – among other things, she cuts up all Poppy's expensive underwear. When Nick and Poppy decide to write and perfor m their own show together and Francie finds out that the break-up is the inspiration for it she loses control. But this is just what she needed to kick her into action. Love and Punishment is a girl's read, well worth picking up. It might make you reminisce about acts of revenge you have taken or fuel the fantasies you harbour about taking a coin to the side of your ex's sports car. Whatever effect it has on you, it can't fail to make you laugh. ★★★★ Allen & Unwin $29.95 Reviewed by Melissa Wilson

Easter Sermon, 2017, Matthew 7:24-27
When our youngest child was younger, we used to say to him—cute wore off two and a half kids ago. It usually happened when he had done something just to see if he could get away with it. And he would smile at us with that look that said, "Yes, but I'm cute and so I get away with it." And we'd say, "Cute wore off two and a half kids ago." Knowing that siblings often seek ammunition to use against their brothers and sisters, I'm guessing he blamed the older ones for overplaying the cute card and ruining it for him. We started using that phrase before he could really do math. If he had done the subtraction he would have realized that two and a half kids ago wasn't after the first two kids, but at the beginning of our raising our first child. We realized that if we allowed Children's cuteness to guide us, we would squander our role as parents. Lori and I never verbalized it to each other. We didn't read it in a book. We didn't hear it in a seminar. And I'm sure there were some negative consequences with our choice. But somehow intuitively we decided, cute wasn't going to be the criteria we used to assess our children's behaviors. There is a lot of cuteness with Easter. Cute Easter dresses and cut little boy outfits. Cute Easter bunnies and cute Easter chickens. Cute little flowers and cute Easter bows. And cute little Easter eggs. Even a grumpy man like me, I have a cute new tie for today. But more and more I sense that people looking for something else.
Jesus anticipated a time when he would say—cuteness wore out two and a half Disciples ago. The parable Jesus told of the wise and foolish builders concludes the great Sermon on the Mount—Matthew chapters 5-7. It comes close to the beginning of the Gospel in the narrative sequence. It is the first of five major sections of teachings in the structure of the Gospel of Matthew. Most biblical scholars agree that the sermon was not something Jesus delivered from beginning to end at one time. Rather, it was a composition of Matthew—the Gospel writer—who pulled together these teachings and organized them into a comprehensive whole. Jesus was at the beginning edge of his popularity in terms of the story Matthew was telling. And if Jesus wanted to make his movement work, he could have benefitted from better marketing. Because early on—Jesus seemed to suggest that cuteness wasn't really his thing.
Which, by the way, is a lousy thing to do if you're out to start a religion. In 2005, Bob Henderson crafted a satirical response to a Kansas Board of Education decision to allow the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in Public school biology classes. Henderson proposed a new religion the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It became an internet sensation. There are books like the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and adherents who call themselves Pastafarians. There are pictures and t-shirts and lots of cute paraphernalia. It's taken off. If you're going to start a religion—start cute. Here's the thing– Jesus really never intended to start a religion. I know that's the most ironic thing to say on THE MOST RELIGIOUS SUNDAY of the YEAR for Christ's followers. But if you look at what Jesus came to do according to his own words, he came to usher in the Kingdom of God.
Matthew included Jesus's teaching—many will come in that day and say, "Lord, Lord," but Jesus will say—it's not the ones who parrot the right words but the one who does the will of God. And others will say—but look at all the cute things we did—signs, wonders, casting out demons, Jesus will say, "Depart from me; I never knew you." Jesus anticipated a time when the throng of followers would—one by one—need to make a choice to either take him seriously or go and find a new fad to follow. Jesus ruled out being cute as the basis for evaluating his Disciples' lives.
He declared the rule and reign of God over and above the rule and reign of any other. He declared that God's way of governing the world was to use power for building people up rather than keeping people down. And the moral legislation to which Jesus subscribed points to something bigger than religion. There's a part of all religions that's just about the cuteness—about the differentiation of one's self from the culture in which one lives. Religions teach people to Dress a certain way, modify eating habits, set the calendar for Holy Days and provide guidance for liturgies and rituals. Jesus practiced a religion—it's called Judaism. He observed the days, maintained kosher—to a point, he certain embraced the narrative of God at work in Abraham and Sarah, Moses and Miriam, Hannah and Samuel, David and Isaiah. And he accepted that the religion would be a part of his followers' lives but he wanted depth of sincere belief. He wanted something other than cuteness.
It seems that Many Christians have decided the cuteness has worn off. Religious observance is down. Religious devotion is down. A few weeks ago, Family Christian Stores—the largest retailer of Christian Merchandise—announced that it would be closing all of its 240 locations. After 85 years in business, Christian merchandise has been set aside. This means a job loss for 3000 employees. Last year, Lifeway Christian stores—which is the rebranded Baptist Bookstores from decades past—announced that it would close the three locations it operated on Baptist Seminary Campuses. Imagine that, the Baptist Bookstore can't keep its doors open on Baptist Seminary campuses. And I'm not knocking on Baptist. Disciples never tried opening bookstores. The struggles of Christian merchandising doesn't signal the end of Christianity. People can still shop for Christian books online. And that's what's caused the closing of a number of retail bookselling stores. But, along with selling Christian devotional and educational literature these places sold the cute things that go with religion—like Testamints—the breathe mints meant to evoke the Old and New Testament.
Cute Christianity was all the rage in the 1980s. Often called attractional evangelism, seeker sensitive churches like Willow Creek in Chicago and Saddleback in California emerged as a cultural force. These churches grew exponential by eschewing things like church buildings, traditional programming, too many religious symbols drained of meaning, archaic language, inaccessible music, etc. etc. It's hard to believe that the church growth movement has been with us so long that over a decade ago one of the founders of the Church growth movement—Bill Hybels was getting ready to retire. He decided that in order to assess the fruits of his labors, Willow Creek would commission a study of how they had actually done in creating true followers of Jesus Christ. He commissioned a study. His study included comparison respondents from other churches around the Chicago area where Hybels and Willow Creek are located. They hired a professional research company to conduct the survey. They set up the matrices of what to look at—faithful prayer life, Christian service, financial support of congregation. When the results came in, Hybels was shocked to discover that far from being the revolutionary movement that produced real Christians by the droves, pound for pound, the medium sized Lutheran Church down the road was measuring up to his own measures better than he was. To his credit Hybels did not sweep these findings under the rug. Quite the contrary he was incredibly open and public about sharing these results in 2005.
The loss of Chrstianity's cuteness frightens a number of us. It's certainly scary to people like me who make our living on people buying into and contributing to the ministries of the established church. But, I'm not sure that Jesus cared so much. Jesus's concluding parable does not say the Wise Man built his house with cute trim and pretty furnishings and nice curb appeal. But the foolish man built his house with drab paint and discount furnishings and unattractive curb appeal. The wise and foolish builders differ in the material they use for their foundation.
I've been there when people poured foundation. I was a volunteer for Habitat for Humanity and got a call—we need help. I put on the knee high boots, they gave me a long pole spreader and the big truck came and started pouring concrete into the form and my roles was to take the spreader and help spread the concrete around. Simple right? I was in my twenties. I thought it would be a piece of cake. They started pouring and I started spreading. Within about 45 minutes my back was hurting, my hands had blisters, and my legs ached. It's not what Jesus meant. What he did mean is that foundation work is hard. It is messy. And it can be painful. It's not cute. In a little bit we will sing the chorus from a hymn I love, "On Christ the Solid Rock I stand." But it's important to say that a generic and ascent to believing things about Jesus are true is not the same thing as putting one's faith in Jesus Christ. Jesus said, "Whoever hears these words of mine and puts them into practice. It involves working—doing the work of daily training your mind and heart to follow in the way of Christ through prayer and study. Doing the work of faithfully serving in meaningful ways. Progressively allowing Christ to influence every part of your life. It's not easy work. The authority for Jesus to say that putting into action the things that he commands comes from the resurrection. The surest evidence of Christ's resurrection is the continued presence of people who faithfully live according to the teaching of Christ.
Once there was a home builder who made the best homes. She paid careful attention to every detail. She measured twice, She cut once. She used the strongest, most durable materials. She studied the plans. The nails and screws were put in at the appropriate angles. She had a daughter. The daughter was her apprentice. Her daughter knew the demands her mother placed on building to exact specifications and following plans to the letter. Using the best materials. The Mother called Her daughter to her one day and explained—I have to leave for a few months, but there is a very nice house I need you to build. I want you to build it like you have been taught. Use the highest-grade material. Cut to exact specifications. She left the daughter a large sum of money to complete the project and then she left. With the Mother away, the daughter started taking shortcuts. She used materials that would look adequate but cost far less. The home owners, he said, will not know the difference until we are out of sight and out of mind. She took the money he saved and spent it on herself. She also cut corners with precision. She didn't measure twice and cut once. If She guessed wrong and came up short, she'd find a way to make things fit. Sure, she thought, as things settle, or when the storms hit, the home owners would run into problems, but by then they'd be out of sight and out of mind. This went on until the house was complete. By all external appearances, the house measured up to the mother's exacting standards. But the daughter had learned to mimic good workmanship so that he could pocket the extra money and use the time he saved on herself. When Her mother came back. The daughter handed her the keys. Her mother replied, "Daughter, keep the keys yourself. This home you have been building is my wedding present to you. It is yours."
Whose house are you building? The wise man built his house upon the rock and the foolish man built his house. Jesus was clear—the wise man was building his house. Whose house are you building. Living by the teachings of Christ reorients our lives to the Christian hope. If you are willing to do the hard work to build your life's house

Heat wave: When will it end, why is it grounding planes? It's going to hit more than 120 degrees in Palm Springs and Death Valley today, and 96 degrees in the Valley. In Sacramento, meteorologists from the National Weather Service fried bacon and tried to bake cookies inside a car -- it was almost 200 degrees inside. Phoenix is feeling it too. Planes there are being grounded because of the heat.
Mystery of Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 Continues There's a new development in the baffling disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 four days after it took off from Kuala Lampur on its way to Beijing. Malaysian authorities now say that — after it stopped communicating with ground controllers — it made an unscheduled turn to the west. Patrick Smith is a pilot and author of Cockpit Confidential : Everything You Need to Know About Air Travel. (Questions, Answers, and Reflections). He hosts the website AskThePilot.com .
Learning from the 777 Crash at San Francisco Airport Saturday in San Francisco, two passengers were killed and many were injured when an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777 struck a sea wall at the end of a runway, broke into pieces and caught fire. It's known that the plane was flying to low and too slow, but pilot error is only one subject under investigation. At a news conference today, the National Transportation Safety Board reported that the plane landing in San Francisco should have been traveling at 137 knots per hour but may have been going just 85.
Is American Air Travel on the Descent? On this first day of the busiest week for air travel in the United States, the airline industry has reached a new low in popularity with flying customers. Using the Public Insight Network, we asked our radio listeners for their opinions. We hear how the flying experience has changed as an industry with narrow profit margins struggles to meet public demand. This story was informed in part from sources in the Public Insight Network, find out more: www.kcrw.com/insight
Is American Air Travel on the Descent? It's been a pretty good year for the airline industry, despite those loose seat rows on American Airlines' planes. On this first day of the busiest week for air travel in the United States, now comes the holiday crunch. Ticket prices are higher, more planes are going to be full, and there could be more lost baggage. Combined with delays caused by the TSA, many air travelers have come to dread an experience they used to look forward to. Passengers complain that service is being sacrificed for the bottom line, but will they pay more to get style and comfort? What's the impact of airline mergers and the outsourcing of maintenance? This story was informed in part from sources in the Public Insight Network, find out more: www.kcrw.com/insight
Recent Security Breaches, Embarrassing or Something More? Highly publicized blunders have raised questions about security at the White House and at airport checkpoints nationwide. If the Tareq and Michaele Salahi could crash the State Dinner for the Prime Minister of India, were the Obamas and guests at risk? When the Transportation Security Administration put an operations manual on-line, did would-be terrorists learn anything new? The President has ordered government agencies to be more transparent. Will that "openness" lead to future mistakes that erode public safety? If the Obama administration seems weak on national security, will that create a new political reality in an election year?
Plotting a Flight Plan for the 21st Century Last week, The New York Times reported that "planeloads of passengers heard pilots blame the air traffic control system as they sat on the tarmac." The problem itself was confined to the Northeast, but it caused problems all over the country.
Plotting a Flight Plan for the 21st Century Last week a computer glitch required air traffic controllers to get flight plans by fax and type them into computers by hand. No lives were at risk and the problem itself was confined to the Northeast, but a lot of passengers were delayed and the incident dramatized how a 21st century system operates on 1960's technology. When cars and cell phones connect to global positioning satellites, why does air traffic control still depend on ground-based radar and radio? When $35 billion has already been spent, why is the Next Generation system so far behind? And, what's in store for this week of heavy holiday travel?
More Details on the Air France Crash; Airline Safety in the Senate It's been more than a week since Air France Flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic, leaving a mystery as to what happened to the flight and why. As the search for debris and bodies continues, some clues are beginning to emerge, which may help investigators understand what went wrong and how such tragedies can be avoided. Patrick Smith writes the "Ask the Pilot" column for Salon . He's also the author of Ask the Pilot : Everything You Need to Know about Air Travel.
President Trump: US to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord Trump says he was elected to serve Pittsburgh, not Paris.
White House budget proposal slashes and burns President Trump's first budget request is considered dead on arrival in Congress — a familiar development in Capitol Hill. We hear what it reveals about the priorities of the new administration. What's likely to die… and what might survive?
Replacing Obamacare: Now you see it… now you don't As the Senate deliberates replacing Obmacare, health coverage for millions of people is at stake. There've been no public hearings, and a draft measure won't be made public. Is the House version so unpopular that that Senate is hiding a version that looks much the same?
Ex-FBI Director Comey tells his side of the story Today, former FBI Director James Comey came close to calling the President who fired him a liar. The White House denied the claim and called it insulting, but Republican Senators did not challenge Comey's truthfulness. Many questions remain: did the President try to obstruct a federal investigation? Later, we'll go behind the "velvet rope" for a look at 5-Star health care for the richest Americans.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Shelby County Commissioners said workers are making progress in cleaning up blight. WREG showed you last month when its citizens complained to the commission about county owned properties that had become eyesores.
"15-20 is what was brought to our attention. There are many more than what was brought to our attention that need to be addressed."
Shelby County Commissioner Eddie Jones estimated that out of 6,000 county owned properties, most of them are unkempt.
"If we were to take a crew out and identify all the county owned properties you would see that about 60% have code violations."
WREG asked if identifying and assessing every single property could be the next step in addressing the obvious issue.
"Is that something that you plan on doing?"
"That would take manpower but the administration would have to be willing," he replied.
It's something that Jones said he will request from the commission since he said the blight problem stretches from north to south in the county.
"You have properties that are burned that need to be demolished that are still standing next door to occupied structures."
He's now in the process of working with Bluff City Blight patrol to come up with suggestions and recommendations to keep the commission on task when it comes to putting the money set aside for blight towards the problem.
