Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section. Remember that the names of the new ones are links to MyAnimeList were you can find more information, Synopsis, reviews, average score, Voice Actors, and more!

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

We will keep up with these Summertime Editions for a while, while the summer and anime always stay in our heart. This might just be our last summertime edition sadly enough but I might just keep things the same and spice things up and put a couple new things in here.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section. Remember that the names of the new ones are links to MyAnimeList were you can find more information, Synopsis, reviews, average score, Voice Actors, and more!

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

It's just awesome and the plot was amazing!Nuff said!<br><br />Baccano!!- This anime has a lot of comedy, a huge cast of characters, and an awesome fight scene.There is a moderate amount of blood in it, also it takes place in like the 30s in NY or something similar, so people who are into that should check it out.<br><br />Berserk- Honestly I haven't seen the whole series yet, but from what I've seen I would recommend it if you like lots of blood and gore<br><br />Black Rock Shooter- Just Amazing! Beautiful everything's!<br><br />Fullmetal Alchemist- The first season was kinda blah( you need to watch it though!) but Brotherhood is a whole different story<br><br />Darker Than Black- I'm not going to lie when I say the second season sucked! It is horrible, but the first season is the shit! Lots of badassness and fighting<br><br />Guilty Crown- I only watched the first two episodes, but I really like it, not much to tell about this anime yet, it's beautifully drawn though ^ ^<br><br />Ao No Exorcist- The fighting and Rin are what make this anime.Good for if you like demons and fighting<br><br />Black Brother- Again another anime that has a shitty second season; good if you like demons and historical type animes<br><br />D. Grey Man- 103 episodes of epicness!<br><br />Deadman Wonderland- I think this is a bloody anime, but it's worth it, the story is fucked up, but really good, I couldn't help but like it<br><br />Durarara!!- Its by the same people who did Baccano!! so the animation is the same.Lots of characters and a weird confusing plot, but it's worth it<br><br />Elfen Lied- Just bloody, it's sad in a weird way, but the last episode is disappointing<br><br />Ghost in the Shell- I haven't seen this in a while, but it's good<br><br />Hellsing- Awesome! It's about vampires and its really badass, surprisingly the second season is awesome and better done than the first season<br><br /><br><br />I'm probably going to break this into a smaller part (like a Part 1.5) because my 5th period is almost over and I don't have enough time to finish this<br><br /><br><br />I'm also going post a fanfiction on my DeviantART account once I finish it, so you faithful readers can read it...wait wut?<br><br /><br><br />Auf Wiedersehen!<br /><a href='http://blogfog.aws.af.cm/ad/site.php?u=eNoNxkESgCAIAMAXAdp06jdUTmIgTnLp97WnrRFjIxK2qGVX9%2FPt0hvj%2F2sODzzcaEl5pZSJu1iZIKByFxj8BGSsYfoBpEQZLg%3D%3D' target='details'>Full Post</a><br />Animonohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09205122367223626862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308483633236778470.post-989427784688791562014-01-31T23:44:00.001-08:002014-01-31T23:44:56.868-08:00Issue #27<br><br /><br><br />January 15, 2014<br><a name='more'></a><br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries<br><br /><br><br />"We speak the truth"<br><br /><br><br />Bringing you the truth, the news, the anime and the conspiracies for over a year.<br><br /><br><br />A Thanks to our Sponsors!<br><br /><br><br />Political Edge<br><br /><br><br />Hunteiria<br><br /><br><br />A NEW GOVERNMENT IN TOWN!<br><br /><br><br />I couldn't find anything else, trust me I looked for a while<br><br /><br><br />With a new government in town, well actually they've been here awhile so more like with a new government in power it marks the end of a term and the start of a new one.

That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

We will keep up with these Summertime Editions for a while, while the summer and anime always stay in our heart. This might just be our last summertime edition sadly enough but I might just keep things the same and spice things up and put a couple new things in here. Please know that as we go back and look at some or if I have on my blog, I will be putting a (R) after it to show that I have already done it, it is not apart of the title like (TV) or (2005) might be<br><br /><br><br />Spice and Wolf (R)<br><br /><br><br />Nodame Cantabile<br><br /><br><br />Code Geass<br><br /><br><br />School Rumble (R)<br><br /><br><br />Honey and Clover<br><br /><br><br />Clannad (R)<br><br /><br><br />Great Teacher Onizuka<br><br /><br><br />Eden of the East<br><br /><br><br />Kimi ni Todoke (R)<br><br /><br><br />Mushishi<br><br /><br><br />Ah My Goddess (R)<br><br /><br><br />Full Metal Panic<br><br /><br><br />Trigun<br><br /><br><br />Kino's Journey<br><br /><br><br />ef - a tale of memories<br><br /><br><br />The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya<br><br /><br><br />Toradora<br><br /><br><br />K-On!<br><br /><br><br />One Piece<br><br /><br><br />Guin Saga<br><br /><br><br />Sekirei<br><br /><br><br />Rec<br><br /><br><br />Glass Mask (2005)<br><br /><br><br />Durarara!!<br><br /><br><br />Cowboy Bebop<br><br /><br><br />Angel Beats!<br><br /><br><br />Usagi Drop (R)<br><br /><br><br />Itazura na Kiss<br><br /><br><br />Kobato.<br><br /><br><br />Ouran High School Host Club<br><br /><br><br />Princess Jellyfish<br><br /><br><br />Genshiken<br><br /><br><br />Hanasaku Iroha<br><br /><br><br />Skip Beat!<br><br /><br><br />Kids on the Slope<br><br /><br><br />Eureka Seven<br><br /><br><br />Death Note<br><br /><br><br />Black Lagoon<br><br /><br><br />One Outs<br><br /><br><br />Princess Tutu<br><br /><br><br />Fullmetal Alchemist<br><br /><br><br />Love Hina<br><br /><br><br />Hyouka<br><br /><br><br />Cross Game<br><br /><br><br />Waiting in the Summer<br><br /><br><br />Psycho-Pass<br><br /><br><br />Sword Art Online<br><br /><br><br />Mirai Nikki (TV)<br><br /><br><br />Crest of the Stars<br><br /><br><br />Attack on Titan<br><br /><br><br />Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo<br><br /><br><br />Beck<br><br /><br><br />Tari Tari<br><br /><br><br />Kemono no Souja Erin<br><br /><br><br />Gin no Saji<br><br /><br><br />Maoyuu Maou Yuusha<br><br /><br><br />Tokyo Godfathers<br><br /><br><br />1. The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us.

The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section. Remember that the names of the new ones are links to MyAnimeList were you can find more information, Synopsis, reviews, average score, Voice Actors, and more!

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch.

How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region.

The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed.

Everything I write in this article is my own opinion based on the anime films that I have seen. I haven't seen every anime film but I have seen a good amount. Also, like most of my lists, I have conditions for what I qualify as an anime "feature film" as I stated in the title. That means it is a standalone film and not apart of a series of movies (Ghost in the Shell Arise, Evangelion, etc.) or movies that are from a popular anime series (DBZ movies, Fullmetal Alchemist Sacred Star if Milos, Trigun Badlands Rumble, Cowboy Bebop The Movie, etc.). So the movies that I am writing about are the ones that tell a story in their given time frame and end it within that time frame. With all that said, let us begin!<br><br /><br><br />10<br><a name='more'></a><br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number ten is Madhouse's visual masterpiece, Redline. Directed by Takeshi Koike, The film is set in the distant future, where a man known as JP takes on great risks for the chance of winning the titular underground race.The film is famous for being in production for 7 years and ultimately producing one of the best looking animated films I've ever seen. The visuals of this movie are absolutely stunning. The film consisted of 100,000 hand made drawings and it shows in how insanely stunning these visuals are. Redline tells a simple story that is entertaining and action packed, but other than that there isn't really a whole lot to the plot. This is the main reason I can't put Redline further on this list is that it had such minimal plot. Obviously, this was done because the main selling point to Redline was for it's artistic visual masterpiece but it doesn't help the film. It is an exciting story and enough to keep you interested, but if it weren't for the art this movie would not have been as memorable or successful as it was. The minimal plot does fit in nicely though as it does not draw the attention away from the visuals and at the same time doesn't create too much to digest from what's happening on screen. This film will always be remembered by fans as a cult classic because of how brilliant the animation is. Redline will be remembered as the most visually pleasing film of all time.<br><br />9<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number 9 is Madhouse's psychological masterpiece Perfect Blue. Directed by Satoshi Kon, this psychological thriller tells the tale of a member of a Japanese pop-idol group called "CHAM!", who decides to pursue her career as an actress. Some of her fans are displeased with her sudden career change, particularly a stalker named Me-Mania. As her new career proceeds, Mima's world becomes increasingly reminiscent of the works of Alfred Hitchcock: reality and fantasy spiral out of control, and Mima discovers that Me-Mania is the least of her troubles. I credit this film as being the best horror story to ever be animated. This film has the feel of a real horror movie. This film does an amazing job of building suspense and keeping you on your toes the full way through. The story builds a very well told mystery that has you trying to figure out who the killer is throughout the film. The film's climax reveals the shocking plot twist that makes this film memorable. As a good horror movie should do, it keeps the killer a mystery until the very end when you finally figure out the whole story, This film is a shocking and twisted psychological masterpiece that will have you caught in the suspense throughout and is an incredibly good watch for adult viewers.<br><br />8<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number eight is the sci-fi cult classic by Production I.G., Ghost in the Shell. Directed by Mamoru Oshii, host in the Shell follows the hunt of the public security agency Section 9 for a mysterious hacker known as the Puppet Master. With the assistance of her team, Motoko Kusanagi tracks and finds their suspect, only to be drawn into a complex sequence of political intrigue and a cover-up as to the identity and goals of the Puppet Master. This film is a philosophical master piece exploring self identity in a technology advanced world. I recognize that Ghost in the Shell is an absolute masterpiece and one of the landmark anime films in history, however my relationship with Ghost in the Shell is very complicated. I love the film but for some reason, in the 3 or so times I've seen it, it just seemed to fly by up until the ending. It just seemed like nothing happened for like an hour and then we reached the climax where you are just hit with everything at once. Maybe the philosophical undertones just went straight over my head, but I never really got much out of the dialogue between the Major and the Puppet Master. With that said, the self identity elements of the movie are clear and are enough to make the story of this film memorable. I also credit Ghost in the Shell to be the second best looking animated film of all time that was done completely by cel style animation. If Redline was a testament to how amazing modern animation is and what can be done with CGI animation and hand drawn scenes, then Ghost in the Shell is one of the films that is a testament to what can never be replicated by today's animation standards and the amazing backgrounds that you can create with cel animation. As being one of the most iconic and original animated films of all time, as well as being the inspiration for the Matrix, Ghost in the Shell earns a spot on any and all top 10 anime films lists.<br><br />7<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number seven is Studio Ghibli's Princess Mononoke. Directed by the legendary Hayao Miyazaki, the film follows the story of the young warrior Ashitaka's involvement in the struggle between the supernatural guardians of a forest and the humans who consume its resources. Mononoke was one of Miyazaki's most successful films, which is saying a lot considering the man's resume. Miyazaki tells the wonderful story of a young prince who is caught in a struggle between nature and progressive imperialism. Ashitaka is stuck trying to make peace between the struggle of the people of Irontown and the creatures of the forest who are led by a young woman named San. It's the old story of environmentalism and the damages of imperialistic expansion into the wilderness. Miyazaki, being an avid environmentalist brilliantly portrays this struggle well in this film. Not only is this struggle givenin this film, but he also adds in the supernatural element in the forest spirits. The scene at the end where the Forest Spirit goes on a rampage after being decapitated was absolutely brilliant and made this movie memorable. This is still one of Miyazaki's best and with good reason.<br><br />6<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number six is another Studio Ghibli materpiece in Howl's Moving Castle. Once again, directed by Hayao Miyazaki, the film is based on the novel of the same name by English writer Diana Wynne Jones. ynne Jones's novel allows Miyazaki to combine a plucky young woman and a mother figure into a single character in the heroine, Sophie. She starts out as an 18-year-old hat maker, but then a witch's curse transforms her into a 90-year-old grey-haired woman. Sophie is horrified by the change at first. Nevertheless, she learns to embrace it as a liberation from anxiety, fear and self-consciousness. The change might be a blessed chance for adventure. Putting this as number six was tough for me because I've always stood by the fact that I liked this film better than another Miyazaki film that will appear later on this list, but throwing my bias aside, I believe I was able to fairly place this film. The adventure elements of this film were outstanding and as all Miyazaki films do well, was chalk full of good moral themes for us to follow. The underlying love story between Howl and Sophie goes along exceptionally well with the background war elements going on at the same time in the film. The film was extremely unique and creative and handled the fantasy elements well along with the everything else going on in the film. This was one of Miyazaki's best films and one of my all time favorites.<br><br />5<br><br /><br><br />Comin in at number five is another film coming to us from Studio Ghibli in Grave of the Fireflies. Being one of Ghibli's first official films after the studio's founding, it also stands as one of their best. Directed by Isao Takahata, tells the story of Seita, a young boy who has to take care of his younger sister Setsuko when their mother dies. Grave of the Fireflies is one of the most gutwrenching realistic films you will ever watch. Not only is it one of the best animated films of all times, but I would go as far as to say it is one of the best war films of all time. This film offers us a different perspective than most war films. Instead of focusing on the war itself, what Grave of the Fireflies chooses to do instead is focus on the effects of war on the innocent civilians. Seita and Setsuko are orphaned at the beginning of the film after their mother is killed due to the air raids by US troops. Seita is left to take care of his sister and attempt to survive. It is hard to watch as these two struggle to stay alive and is probably one of the most depressing films you will ever watch. It is so grueling to see these children die slowly right before our eyes. Grave of the Fireflies will ultimately go down as one of the most beautiful and haunting works to ever be produced from Japan.<br><br />4<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number four is Madhouse's Summer Wars. Directed by up and comer Momoru Hosoda, this film tells the story of Kenji Koiso, a timid eleventh-grade math genius who is taken to Ueda by twelfth-grade student Natsuki Shinohara to celebrate her great-grandmother's 90th birthday. However, he is falsely implicated in the hacking of a virtual world by a sadistic artificial intelligence named Love Machine. Kenji must repair the damage done to it and find a way to stop the rogue computer program from causing any further damage. Sporting a very large cast of characters, Summer Wars is an excellent feel good film with a lot to teach us. For such a short time to work with, Summer Wars is able to introduce us to such a larch cast and give them all screen time and development. You leave this film feeling like you knew each and every single one of those characters and that is a testament to what a great director Hosoda is. A beautifully touching film, Summer Wars makes you take a step back and appreciate your family. The film is very family oriented and displays the strong unbreakable bonds that exist within family. As stated by Granny, "never turn your back on family. Especially when times are tough". Couldn't have summed up why this film is so remarkable any other way. It is simple and entertaining but does a good job of telling a mixed tail about how close Japan is to falling into chaos due to the virus Love Machine. Not only are their undertones of family, but there is also a strong message about relying too heavily on technologically advances. Summer Wars makes us appreciate the simplicity of life, love and family.<br><br />3<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number three is Studio Ghibli's highest grossing film, Spirited Away. Directed by Hayao Miyazaki, this film tells the story of Chihiro, a sullen ten-year-old girl who, while moving to a new neighborhood, enters the spirit world. After her parents are transformed into pigs by the witch Yubaba, Chihiro takes a job working in Yubaba's bathhouse to find a way to free herself and her parents and return to the human world. This coming of age film is ultimately Miyazaki's best and his all time greatest achievement as a director. This was the film that cemented his legacy as the greatest animation director of all time. Spirited Away was the first Japanese animated film to win an Academy Award. Spirited Away is full of memorable scenes that cement it's place in history, but none more memorable than when Chihiro is swept up into the spirit world. That scene is unforgettable and so memorable that it even garnered a parody scene in a recent Simpsons episode. This film is an iconic coming of age tale that so wonderfully captured the fantasy elements we are accustomed to seeing in a Miyazaki film. The imagination of this man is astonishing. How Miyazaki is able to come up with this awe inspiring, dazzling fantasy worlds is beyond me. This is one of the best animated films you will ever see, everything in it is close to flawless from the outstanding soundtrack to the exceptional tale we spend with Chihiro. Definitely, one of the greatest animated films of all time without question.<br><br />2<br><br /><br><br />Coming in at number two is Madhouse and Studio Chizu's Wolf Children. Directed by Momoru Hosoda, the film tells the story of Hana, who falls in love with a Wolf Man. After the Wolf Man's death, Hana decides to move to a rural town to continue raising her two wolf children Ame and Yuki. This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite movies of all time, Despite being relatively new, this is without a doubt, one of the greatest films I've ever seen, period. It is an instant classic that should be seen by all. This film is probably the closest thing to flawless I've ever seen when it comes to animated films. From the story, to the music, to the animation, just everything is on top of it's game here. The story is very simple but told in such an exceptional way that it is just nothing short of remarkable. We follow Hana's struggle to raise her two children, Ame and Yuki, as a single mother after their father is killed. This alone is a great setup, let alone throw in the same identity issues asa film like Ghost in the Shell and you have yourself one hell of an amazing movie.The film focuses a lot on the chose between the two children whether they want to live as humans or wolves. This portion of the story is excellently foreshadowed throughout and comes to a head at the very end of the film where the paths of the two children become clear. The scenes when Ame and Yuki have to go to school and they are leaving from their house where we are introduced to a right and left path are absolutely chilling. The left represents the way they take to school and the human life where as the right is the wilderness and represents the life of a human. Each time the paths are shown it sends chills down the spine because of how brilliantly this is executed. It is a very good watch that gets better each and every time you see it. Wolf Children is a special movie and nothing short of brilliant. With time, it may be the greatest anime film of there is. However, it is because of number one's iconic legacy that Wolf Children falls to number two.<br><br />1<br><br /><br><br />If it wasn't obvious by now then you need to go see this film. Coming in at number one is Tokyo Movie Shinsha's cyberpunk classic Akira. Directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, the film depicts a dystopian version of Tokyo in the year 2019, with cyberpunk tones. The plot focuses on teenage biker Tetsuo Shima and his psychic powers, and the leader of his biker gang, Shotaro Kaneda. Kaneda tries to prevent Tetsuo from releasing the imprisoned psychic Akira. This film packs in a lot of material stretching out to be a 2 hour long cinema masterpiece. This however, still doesn't feel like it was truly enough to fully dissect the entire plot that Akira had to offer. However, the story told within the movie, albeit differentiating from the source material, is still a very captivating story as it is altered well by Otomo. It is a very complex story and kind of a cautionary apocalyptic tale. With Tokyo being destroyed by the uncontrollable psychic power Akira. Now, in the year 2019, the military is once again trying to harness the "power of a god". Akira's power is both feared and praised throughout the film. Unfortunately for Tetsuo, he is the second coming of this uncontrollable psychic power and is doomed to his fate to ultimately loose control. This was the first feature anime film to really break out over in the United States and start a wave of anime popularity over in the states. It is held in high regard as the landmark anime film. Even though the film is 25 years old, it has aged exceptionally well. It's visuals still stand atop of the anime kingdom as the greatest feat ever accomplished by cel animation. the scenery and backgrounds are the greatest to ever be produced in anime. The amount of detail is unreal. This film is not only one of the most iconic animated films ever made, but it is one of the greatest films made in general. This film is considered a cult classic and is a landmark in what can be accomplished with animation. It is indeed, a truly unforgettable masterpiece in every sense of the word.<br /><a href='http://blogfog.aws.af.cm/ad/site.php?u=eNodyjEOgCAMBdAT0YJx8jZoqhBbSuS7eHqN01teAfrCnFs1Qdbz8Sa0qh%2BjO2hz4ymmmWNieA8phn%2BGXTLu67OqDSowfQHDjBnh' target='details'>Full Post</a><br />Animonohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09205122367223626862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308483633236778470.post-38372691298281607542014-01-30T10:52:00.001-08:002014-01-30T10:52:49.239-08:00Issue #27<br><br /><br><br />January 15, 2014<br><a name='more'></a><br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries<br><br /><br><br />"We speak the truth"<br><br /><br><br />Bringing you the truth, the news, the anime and the conspiracies for over a year.<br><br /><br><br />A Thanks to our Sponsors!<br><br /><br><br />Political Edge<br><br /><br><br />Hunteiria<br><br /><br><br />A NEW GOVERNMENT IN TOWN!<br><br /><br><br />I couldn't find anything else, trust me I looked for a while<br><br /><br><br />With a new government in town, well actually they've been here awhile so more like with a new government in power it marks the end of a term and the start of a new one. Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Included this time is one short show; I don't normally cover them in these posts, but since said show is somewhat on the longer side and one of the better shorts to come out lately, I'm putting it in here. Beyond that, there's a fair variety in this set, including a number of sequels. No point delaying this any further; let's go straight to the shows.<br><br /><br><br />SAKI - THE NATIONALS<br><a name='more'></a><br><br /><br><br />Just because it's not gambling in yakuza gangs doesn't make it any less awesome.<br><br /><br><br />(Also known as: Saki - Zenkoku-hen)<br><br />Sequel Alert: This is a direct sequel to the first season of Saki, and you'll definitely want to watch that first. Alternatively, you can read the manga up through the end of the prefectural tournament (to the start of the training camp afterwards). (You may also want to read my post on the basic rules of mahjong.) Less necessary is the spinoff series, Saki Episode of Side-A, which covers the characters that play in the A-side of the Nationals tournament (the current season covers the B-side) up through the semifinals. Some characters from that do get shown in the current season, but you won't miss any important story elements.[spoiler: Kiyosumi High's mahjong club has made it to the Nationals, where Saki's older sister, Teru, is seeking to become the first person to become champion for all three years of high school. However, in order for Saki to meet up with her sister's team and hope to repair their broken relationship, she and her team must first make it to the finals, and with teams like the Shinto miko squad of Eisui High, the mysterious Miyamori Girls School, and the perennial inter-high favorite Himematsu High, Kiyosumi High has some tough competition to get past first. However, the taco-loving early-game power player Yuuki, the table-memorizing Mako, the bad-wait-manipulating Hisa, and the online mahjong master and middle school individuals champion Nodoka will all put up a fight, and that's before Saki and her monstrous mahjong skill and luck goes in to make sure her team comes out on top.]<br><br />One of the ways I can measure how good a show that revolves around a particular activity is is by how much it gets me interested in that activity. In this sense, Saki is nothing short of a blowout hit for me, as after watching through both the first season and the spinoff, I have completely gotten absorbed into the game of mahjong--hence why I even bothered to . Of course, Saki itself is a very entertaining sports show where players use a combination of raw skill and supernatural powers to try to win games. What really helps is that this show develops not just the main characters' team, but also rival teams they encounter, and at the same time, they make sure that, at the most critical matches, every opponent is a worthy one. Whether it's by coming up with crafty strategies or turning the tides with their unique powers, each match is full of thrilling moments that will keep you on the edge of your seat.<br><br /><br><br />Objectionable content: There's some characters who wear somewhat-loose clothing, some bath scenes, and while there hasn't been too much of it yet, there's definitely some strong hints of yuri throughout the series (though not nearly as much as the next show). I'd put it somewhere between a high PG and a low PG-13.<br><br />Saki - The Nationals, as well as the first season of Saki, is streaming on , as is .<br><br /><br><br />SAKURA TRICK<br><br /><br><br />Your average rom-com has maybe 1% of the number of kisses this show has.<br><br /><br><br />Haruka and Yuu are best friends from middle school, now entering high school together. However, despite being in the same class, they end up seated on opposite sides of the room, and when Yuu starts getting friendly with other girls, Haruka starts worrying that she will no longer be Yuu's "special" friend. Knowing about her worries, Yuu suggests that, in order to confirm their "special" relationship, the two of them do something girls don't normally do with each other. And if Katy Perry's notoriety is of any indication, top of the list of "things girls don't normally do with each other" is "kiss each other full-on on the lips". Of course, once that happens, their relationship might have moved past being just friendsOh, and there are other girls in their class that are also exploring their relationship with each other.<br><br /><br><br />The latest entry in the infamous "cute-girls-doing-cute-things" genre, like others before it, is based on a 4-koma manga. Unlike most previous ones, though, Sakura Trick differs in one major way: rather than tease romantic yuri relationships between the girls, it goes all out to make it quite clear that these girls have the hots for one another. They explicitly kiss in the opening, they kiss multiple times per episode, and while they aren't explicitly mentioned to be girlfriend and girlfriend yet, there's definitely the feel of there being a budding romance between the girls (with some of them being more open about their feelings than others). Obviously, if you're a yuri fan, you're probably already all over this show. But what value does it have for non-yuri fans, particularly Christians like me who personally consider homosexuality a sin? Wellthat's something I will talk about in an upcoming post. For now, suffice it to say that from a pure comedy perspective, the show is hilarious, particularly with Haruka, who is just the right kind of crazy to make this show a lot of fun.<br><br />Objectionable content: Well, first of all, there is all that yuri. And while it hasn't gone beyond kissing, the kissing itself does get somewhat sensual. The opening also has a fair amount of Barbie-doll nudity. It's a bit above a normal PG-13to borrow a different rating system, TV-14 is pretty fitting.<br><br /><br><br />Sakura Trick is streaming on .<br><br /><br><br />SEITOKAI YAKUINDOMO*<br><br /><br><br />Your average rom-com has maybe 1% of the number of dirty jokes this show has.<br><br /><br><br />Sequel Alert: This is a sequel to not only the first season of Seitokai Yakuindomo, but also the 8 OVA episodes that came afterwards. It is not strictly necessary to watch the previous material, as the first episode of the new season does its best to introduce all the characters, though the more gradual introduction of characters across earlier material might be more helpful. Alternatively, you can read the manga.<br><br /><br><br />Two years ago, Oosai Academy was an all-girls school, until the shrinking population due to low birth rates forced the school to go co-ed the previous year. Takatoshi Tsuda started attending the school last year since it was nearby, finding himself in a school where girls outnumber guys seven to one. Moreover, Takatoshi was appointed to become the Student Council Vice-President, as current president Shino hopes to get a guy's perspective on how things should be run in the school. Of course, this is the first time Shino's gotten close to a guy, so to say the least, she's definitely more than just a little interested in the birds and the bees. Along with the equally perverted secretary Aria, the short, intelligent returnee Suzu, and other characters such as a judo captain, a disciplinary committee member who's afraid of men, and a little sister who is going through puberty, Takatoshi's days are full of making comebacks at whatever dirty jokes come his way as he goes into his second year.<br><br />Objectionable content: Hoo boy. This show is about the dirty jokes, and boy are there a lot of them, and they get rather risqu , too. On the other hand, there's not a whole lot in visual fanservice (though sight gags abound). Still, the heavy amount of dirty talk in this show means it can get no less than a TV-MA rating, and makes it hard to recommend to fellow Christians. It also means I have to bring this up first, before going into why I'm watching this show myself.<br><br /><br><br />So what value does this show have aside from the dirty jokes? First of all, not all the jokes are of a sexual nature: Suzu is pretty clean-mouthed (at least in Japanese; she has some interesting use of English swear words) and most of the jokes regarding her are based on her short stature. More importantly, though, the character interactions in this show are surprisingly genuine. This isn't a show where the girls are sexually exploited for fanservice; this show is more like a classic slice of life about a guy and his life with these girls, some of whom just happen to be highly interested in sex (and for a reasonable reason, too). For what it's worth, I hear that real-life high school girls can be just as dirty-minded (if not more), so maybe this show will give you some nostalgia for hanging out with such girls. Not sure if that's a type of nostalgia one particularly wants, butwell, the point is, the character interactions make this show better than its plethora of dirty jokes might otherwise suggest.<br><br /><br><br />Seitokai Yakuindomo* is streaming on . However, the first season and OVAs are not available for legal streaming anywhere at the moment.<br><br /><br><br />SILVER SPOON SEASON 2<br><br /><br><br />Horse riding? Baseball? Did this show become a sports anime?<br><br /><br><br />(Also known as: Gin no Saji Season 2)<br><br />Sequel Alert: This is a direct sequel to the first season of Silver Spoon, so watch that first.<br><br /><br><br />As Yuugo Hachiken moves into his first autumn at the Ezonoo Agricultural School, he finds new things to deal with. There's his relationship with his crush, Aki Mikage--they've been growing closer, but at the same time, it seems like she's putting up a wall and not letting him know some important things. There's also how, as he gets more involved with the equestrian club, he has to start really learning how to ride a horse. And there is, as always, learning just how different farm life is from city life, and dealing with the demons of his past.<br><br /><br><br />Silver Spoon ended up being one of my favorite shows of last year. Being written by the same mangaka of the highly acclaimed Fullmetal Alchemist manga is not just a matter of mere name recognition; the writing in this show is simply some of the absolute best I've seen in anime. The characters are well-developed, the plot is very engaging, especially with the whole aspect of what it means to raise farm animals for food, and there's also plenty of good comedy to go around. There's not really much more to say; I might not care much about others not watching a number of the shows I like, but this is one show that I would say if you are not watching it, then you are missing out.<br><br />Objectionable content: This show has none of the "typical" objectionable content (sex, violence, language). However, this show does not shy away from some of the more unsavory aspects of farm life, namely the fact that a large part of farming is raising animals to be killed for food. All things considered, I'd give this a PG.<br><br /><br><br />Both seasons of Silver Spoon are streaming on .<br><br /><br><br />SPACE DANDY<br><br /><br><br />That pompadour is as alien as the rest of 'em.<br><br /><br><br />"Space Dandy. He's a dandyin space." Dandy is an alien hunter, who seeks out new species of aliens for cash. His hobby is visiting every Boobies restaurant in space, for exactly what the name of said restaurant chain promises to offer. Of course, alien hunting is a job where you never quite know what will happen. There's also an evil force out for Dandy, but whether they're of any threat is another question entirely.<br><br /><br><br />There are a number of things weird about Space Dandy, but probably the strangest is its distribution; in addition to a standard Japanese-language-with-English-subtitles simulcast on Funimation's site, every new episode is also being broadcast weekly on Toonami with an English dub, before the show is even broadcast in Japan. It's also the latest original work by Cowboy Bebop director Shinichi Watanabe, so there's definitely pedigree behind this work.The show itself, though, is more like a classic American cartoon, with lots of silliness and the reset button being hit at the end of every episode, so that random character deaths and property destruction is played more for laughs than anything. I personally am watching the dub broadcast on Toonami, so like Pokemon XY, I can keep it on in the background while I do other things. It's probably a good thing too, because honestly, otherwise I probably wouldn't be watching this show. It's amusing and interesting, but nothing particularly stands out about it, it doesn't particularly have a lot of heart, and the whole Boobies aspect isn't really to my taste. Still, it's pretty good so far, and it looks like it can get better.<br><br />Objectionable content: Well, first of all, consider that part of the whole schtick of this show is a restaurant called Boobies. There's definitely fanservice, as well as some general dirty talk going on here. The space battles get mildly violent, but nothing too gory, though the third episode has somedisturbing imagery. Funimation and Hulu list the show as a TV-MA, so let's go with that.<br><br /><br><br />An English dub of Space Dandy is being broadcast on Cartoon Network's Toonami block on Saturday evenings. Check your local listings for times. The Japanese dub is streaming on and .<br><br /><br><br />TONARI NO SEKI-KUN<br><br /><br><br />When Seki's around, time doesn't stand a chance.<br><br /><br><br />(Full English name: Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time)<br><br /><br><br />Yokoi finds it hard to pay attention in class. That's because the guy sitting to her left, Seki-kun, likes to take advantage of his seat, in the far back corner and behind the biggest guy in the class, in order to kill time in the most elaborate ways. Whether it is setting up complex domino structures, playing shogi to re-enact a feudalistic drama, or polishing his desk until it shines like a mirror, there seems to be no limit as to what he will do to pass the time. And Yokoi, being the easily-distracted type, always seems to get caught up in whatever he's doing.<br><br /><br><br />This is the one short series I'm covering in this section (I'm watching a couple others, but they're not particularly worth talking about). It's a bit longer than most shorts, with each episode being about 7.5 minutes long (so it's about a third the length of a normal-length episode), and as far as being adapted from a manga, each episode covers one chapter, adding in some extra things to help fill the time as each manga chapter is only ~10 pages long. There's definitely a charm to this series: Seki's various games start out innocuous but soon take a life of their own as they escalate into something unusual and insane--oftentimes helped by Yokoi's overactive imagination, which get fully animated for great effect. And there are also the times when she ends up participating in his games (though not always because he wants her to). The individual episodes can vary in quality, but for a short series, it's very funny and has quite a charm to it. And if you're a fan of Yokoi's seiyuu, Kana Hanazawawell, there's that, too.<br><br />Objectionable content: None. G-rated stuff here.<br><br /><br><br />Tonari no Seki-kun is streaming on .<br><br /><br><br />WAKE UP, GIRLS!<br><br /><br><br />An idol show that does not idolize the idol industry.<br><br /><br><br />In the 2011 earthquake-affected Sendai area, the struggling entertainment company Green Leaves Entertainment decides to follow up on the huge success of Tokyo idol group I-1 Girls and create their own idol group. The group's seven lone applicants, including a former member of I-1 Girls, band together to make the long climb to stardom, and have fun singing and dancing in the meantime. The road will be tough, as the harsh realities of the idol industry stare them right in the face, but maybe, just maybe, these seven girls can achieve something that can be considered success.<br><br /><br><br />First of all, a note: In addition to the TV series episodes, there is also the "Seven Idols" movie, which is essentially an hour-long Episode 0 that serves as the start of the series; as such, it is recommended that you do watch the movie, if not before episode 1, then definitely at some point.<br><br /><br><br />Wake Up, Girls! is an original anime project directed by Yamakan, the director of Kannagi and Fractale. It's the latest in the "idol anime" genre that is growing more popular, with entries such as The iDOLM@STER, AKB0048, and Love Live! in recent years. What makes WUG different is that it is a much less glamorous portrayal of the idol industry. Sleazy producers, problematic presidents, and the absolute lack of funds or name recognition all make the idol business much harder for these girls. For this reason, to an extent one can't help but cheer for these seven girls to somehow manage success despite all of their trials. It's definitely not the prettiest idol show (though for what it's worth, the idol dancing sequences are hand-drawn ala The iDOLM@STER rather than animated using 3DCG), but if you want an idol show that is more realistic and doesn't try to sugarcoat what can sometimes be a rather ugly industry, perhaps this is the show for you.<br><br />Objectionable content: Some idol sequences feature panty shots, and the girls do end up in revealing swimsuits, though here it's not glamorized for fanservice. Overall, the fact that this show portrays some of the uglier realities of idol work is definitely something to watch out for. I'd give it a solid PG-13.<br><br /><br><br />Wake Up, Girls!, including the movie, is streaming on .<br><br /><br><br />WORLD CONQUEST - ZVEZDA PLOT<br><br /><br><br />She may be small, but she'll be looking down on the world someday.<br><br /><br><br />(Also known as: Sekai Seifuku - Bouryaku no Zvezda)<br><br />Kate Hoshimiya is a ten-year-old girl with a grand ambition: to conquer the world. Starting up the secret Zvezda society, with all of the superpowered items and people needed to make world conquest a reality, all that remains is to carry out the conquest, one step at a time. At the same time, Kate is still a young girl who wants to eat with people like family, hates those that smoke in public, and worries that, once she's conquered the world, she won't have a place in it anymore. World conquest is almost sure to happen; the question is, will Kate and her followers be happy with the result?<br><br /><br><br />This is a completely original anime work, and I didn't know what to expect from it, but I will say I was somewhat pleasantly surprised by this show. It definitely scores high on the "what on earth is going on"scale, and the fact that there's a scantily-dressed young girl can put off some people from this show. However, there are definitely moments that suggest that this show has some potential. That the would-be conquerer, Kate, is worried about having a place to belong indicates that this show might have some heart behind its world-conquering premise, and the latest episode definitely provides an interesting look at just how her world-conquering ways work, and how it is both reasonable to expect from a young girl and also the dangers of such ways. It remains to be seen just what direction this show will ultimately go in and how it will all turn out, but this show might be one worth keeping an eye on.<br><br />Objectionable content: The costume that Kate wears, as you can see from the promotional image, is definitely on the revealing side, especially for a 10-year-old girl. If you can ignore that, though, nothing else is particularly objectionable, though some of the concepts brought up in the show are probably best not blindly taken in (the show is told from the "villain" perspective, after all). I'd say it's either a PG or a PG-13, depending on how sensitive you are to Kate's costume choice.<br><br /><br><br />World Conquest - Zvezda Plot is streaming on , , and .That's it for this season's new shows. There are other shows that have somewhat interested me but due to the fact that I'm already following 15 new full-length shows, I've decided not to bother with them for now; if they turn out good in the end, I may watch them later.<br><br /><br><br />So what shows are you following and enjoying this season?

Social interaction!) or so people ask me to recommend them some anime to watch/start off with. Those of you that know me in real life will know that I'm an avid anime and manga fan and I will be more than happy to discuss my favourites with you. If you are already a fan and want something else to watch, check out my anime list .<br><br /><br><br />I'm sure not too many people will be interested in this post, but for those of you that are.. let the obsession begin. This is just a very short list of the anime I like to recommend to people who may not really like anime or that want to start watching anime but have no idea where to begin. I hope some of you anime fans out there will agree with me. I've not included any films in this list, but if you are interested, I can make that list for another day. I've also included my thoughts on the dubbed (english) versions, if there are any.<br><a name='more'></a><br><br />(I will also warn you that this is basically me babbling on about plotlines and bad subs/dubs and most of this post is just my thoughts and excitement poured onto this webpage)<br><br /><br><br />1. FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST & FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST: BROTHERHOOD<br><br /><br><br />One of my all time favourite anime. I'll be really surprised if you haven't at least heard of Fullmetal Alchemist before I've made this post. I know it's kind of cheating as this is technically two series, but I think we can all let things slide a little for this master piece. For those of you who don't know, Fullmetal Alchemist was a series that began when the manga was still being published. The first 25 episodes or so are an almost exact replica of the manga, but from episode 25 onwards (where they caught up to the manga) the story differs greatly. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is an EXACT replica of the manga. This makes the first 10 episodes of Brotherhood nearly exactly the same as the first 25 episodes of the first series. I figured I should let ya'll know this before any of you get confused.<br><br />I would recommend watching Fullmetal Alchemist first as it was made first, so starting with it makes things a little more authentic. Most people tend to enjoy Brotherhood a little more (I sure did) because of it's manga like qualities so I would save that for last so you're not too bored with the original anime. To be honest, I hated the subbed version of Brotherhood. Go ahead and watch the Japanese version for the original anime (it's pretty awesome!) but please watch Brotherhood in English! I believe the subbed version was pretty terrible because they mixed and swapped voice actors around that they used for the original anime, making it incredibly confusing if you've watched the subbed version of the first series. And we all know how amazing FMA is in english. I would even say it's my favourite dub of all time.<br><br />The basic plot line for both of the series follow the story of Edward Elric (voiced by Romi Park and Vic Mignogna) and his younger brother Alphonse Elric (voiced by Rie Kugimiya, Aaron Dismuke and later Maxey Whitehead). Edward and Alphonse live in the country of Amestris (that suspiciously resembles Germany) where Alchemy is used on an every day basis. After an accident when they were children, which left Edward with an auto mail arm and leg, and left Alphonse's soul in a suit of armour, they are travelling to find the mysterious Philosophers stone to repair and retrieve Edwards body parts and Aplhonse's body. As their story progresses Edward joins the military as a state Alchemist so he can gain access to more information of the Philosophers stone. I don't want to say too much else without spoiling it for you, so just go ahead and watch it, seriously. I almost forgot to mention that there is some of the most wonderfully bad-ass and beautiful female characters in both Fullmetal Alchemist and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, so if you're a feminist such as myself, you'll surely love them!<br><br /><br><br />2. ATTACK ON TITAN (SHINGEKI NO KYOJIN)<br><br /><br><br />I'm sure you've all heard of this. I was lucky enough to jump on the Attack on Titan (often referred to as SnK) band-wagon just before the anime started airing back on the 6th of April 2013. I'm so pleased that I got to watch as every episode aired, watching the fandom grow with each episode. As I introduced this anime to a few friends, I was very glad to see they all enjoyed it as much as I hoped they would. This anime can only be watched subbed as it hasn't been dubbed yet (though I'm feeling very skeptical about any dub that is attempted).<br><br />Basically, the story is set in medieval times and we follow the life of Eren Yaeger, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackermen and their child-hood friend Armin Arlert. 100 years prior to the beginning of the story, giant human-like creatures called Titans nearly wiped out the human population. The remaining humans now live inside three huge concrete walls that surround their country. The humans have lived in peace within these walls for the past 100 years. That is until the titans returned. We follow Eren on his journey through this horrible time of famine and death. The first five minutes of the first episode will give you a general idea of what the following 23 episodes will be like, and you will love every minute of it.<br><br /><br><br />3. SOUL EATER<br><br /><br><br />Ahhh Soul Eater. Again, one of my all time favourites. This anime features a range of colourful and crazy characters (including a creepy laughing sun and moon) that get you pumped for any challenges or obstacles the protagonists are facing next. This anime adaption defers greatly from the manga, so if you really enjoy it, I would recommend reading the manga as well! I personally really enjoyed the dubbed version of Soul Eater, though I know many fans of the subbed version did not like it at all. In comparison to the subbed version, there are some characters in the dub that are honestly terribly done but overall, I think the range of different voices Funimation has used for this anime worked incredibly well.<br><br />The story takes place at Death Weapon Meister Academy (the DWMA for short) which is located in Death city.The school is run by none other than Death himself (shinigami) and he trains humans that have the ability to transform into weapons or those who have the ability to wield those weapons. We follow the story of Maka Albarn who wields her scythe partner Soul Eater Evans, Black Star- a self proclaimed assassin who wields his multi-function weapon Tsubaki Nakatsukasa and none other then Death's offspring himself, Death the Kid who wields two weapons- sisters that transform into pistols- Liz and Patty.These teenagers are as skilled as they come at the DWMA and will continue to surprise you with their skills and action sequences. Now if that introduction to the main characters doesn't interest you, I don't know what will.<br><br /><br><br />4. FAIRY TAIL<br><br /><br><br />This isn't what you think it is. I've recommended this to so many people over the years and most of the time their reaction usually includes some exclamation about fairies and stories that we all heard to many times as kids. Which really has nothing to do with it. Fairy Tail is set in a land that is populated by humans, celestial spirits, dragons, exceeds, magical beings and giant beasts (if it's magical, you'll be sure to find it there). Whilst I love majority of the english casting for the dub, the voice of one of the main characters, Lucy Heartfilia (Cherami Leigh), was a little too much for me. Don't get me wrong, I love Cherami Leigh in many other things such as Patty in Soul Eater, but Lucy in Fairy Tail was a little too unbearable for me.<br><br /><br><br />We begin with Lucy who is a seventeen year old celestial wizard who runs away from home to join Fairy Tail, a famous magical guild that is known for it's destructive, powerful and loud wizards. One her travels she meets a boy named Natsu Dragneel and his flying blue cat named Happy. Natsu and Happy are planning to travel to the land of Fiore together to search for Natsu's foster parent, who disappeared many years earlier. Now this is kind of a spoiler, but once Lucy has joined Fairy Tail we get to meet an incredibly amount of amazing wizards, all with different powers or specialities. The story continues following Lucy and Natsu on their travels, continuously facing battles with a large range of antagonists.<br><br /><br><br />5. OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB (OHSHC)<br><br /><br><br />I thought I better add some shoujo anime to this list of mostly shounen anime. I'm sure many boys right now (I don't even know if many boys read our blog) will be quite skeptical at this point. Ouran seems like a typical girly anime full of fan-service to please the ladies. I'm not going to lie. This anime is full of anything and everything to get female viewers to laugh and giggle, but I assure you, boys will also enjoy this hilarious anime. Just try not to take anything seriously. I'll admit that the first time I watched this anime I was very skeptical. It didn't seem like the kind of anime I'm generally interested in, especially considering it's comedic aspects. But really? A reverse harem anime? I can't even remember what made me watch Ouran in the first place (I think it was possibly the promise of Vic Mignogna as the leading male), but I'm so glad I did. If you are considering watching Ouran, I would recommend the dub. As with everything on this list that has a dub, I've watched both the sub and dub. Whilst I enjoyed Ouran subbed, I think the hilarity of the Funimation voice actors present in the dub make it a tiny bit more enjoyable.<br><br /><br><br />Haruhi Fujioka is a commoner who receives a scholarship to the prestigious Ouran Academy. One afternoon, Haruhi is looking for a quiet place to study when she stumbles across the seemingly abandoned third music room. Once inside the music room she discovers the Ouran Host Club. The Host club is a group of six male students that gather to entertain female "clients" (don't worry it's just tea serving and cake). Haruhi accidentally knocks of a vase which is worth $80,000 (8 million yen) and she must repay the Host Club with services to the club. Because of her appearance, Haruhi is mistaken for a male student by the members of the host club and they quickly agree that she would make a fine host, hence becoming the newest member of the host club. ~<br><br /><br><br />And that's about it for my top 5 recommended starter anime. I would also like to make an honourable mention to Death Note, though I figured most people have seen or at least heard of Death Note by now. Please let me know of any other anime/manga related posts you want to see in the future (or if you think I shouldn't do them)<br><br /><br><br />Thank you for reading everyone!

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section. Remember that the names of the new ones are links to MyAnimeList were you can find more information, Synopsis, reviews, average score, Voice Actors, and more! Also I would be happy to talk about any series or movie that you might want to discuss. Also I have found out about a new anime site. Once again I shall list the names of those I have done. Also Lewis and Daniel is always happy to talk about anime with you. Or if you need to know some anime sites just ask! This time you will also be getting a Summer time edition! Why because with summer coming round you might just have more time to spend watching anime and reading manga not just short ones either. Also we have a couple new anime watching fans out there. We will keep up with these Summertime Editions for a while, while the summer and anime always stay in our heart. This might just be our last summertime edition sadly enough but I might just keep things the same and spice things up and put a couple new things in here.

One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section. Remember that the names of the new ones are links to MyAnimeList were you can find more information, Synopsis, reviews, average score, Voice Actors, and more!

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

The world of the internet is inundated with lists. I propose we smash the heck out of these two things, and come up with a fun list of Anthony's Favorite Brothers in media!<br><br /><br><br />Jesus walked around with thirteen other men. He knew the importance of fraternal bonding during life. This was normal throughout history! Then women came along, demanding to be noticed, and fraternity fell by the wayside to be replaced with conversations about Peyton Manning's throwing arm.<br><a name='more'></a><br><br /><br><br />I'll say it. Sports are a feminine way to celebrate masculinity.<br><br /><br><br />Humanity has been intelligently self-aware for thousands of years, but we're all so fucking occupied that basic relationships are hard to come by. There's family. While those relationships are frequently beautiful and special, they're also frequently MANDATORY. I think that's important. When it comes to brothers, we get to choose who we surround ourselves with. And so it goes. On and on. After thousands of years, we still struggle with this very basic thing. How many episodes of Friends were dedicated to Joey and Chandler rationalizing out their friendship? Some (ignorant) might argue that they represent the greatest duo on television, I would argue otherwise.<br><br /><br><br />So here's my list of the greatest brothers in media.<br><br /><br><br />ANAKIN AND OBI-WAN:<br><br /><br><br />Oh Jesus. Ben Kenobi talks about knowing Anakin Skywalker in A New Hope, letting Luke know that his father was killed by none other than Darth Vader. THEN! along comes The Empire Strikes Back, and Darth Vader drops the epitomic bombshell about Luke's true *spoiler* parentage being an enormous asthmatic robot. Phantom Menace irritated me as a child because I thought Obi-Wan didn't actually like Anakin, and the two fight like little bitches throughout the entirety of Clone Wars (minus the Geonosian gladiatoring).<br><br /><br><br />BUT THEN! Episode III and all of the Clone Wars filler content put in afterwards paint this much prettier picture about Obi-Wan and Anakin being really close to one another. Frequently they save one another from certain death. (Seriously, the very few episodes of Clone Wars that really feature Anakin and Obi-Wan are amazing).<br><br /><br><br />"Only a Sith deals in absolutes, I will do what I must".<br><br /><br><br />"You were my brother Anakin!"<br><br /><br><br />Seriously. The entire Mustafar sequence could have been a movie in it's own right. It almost atoned for the seven hours of film that made up the first three episodes.<br><br /><br><br />EDWARD AND ALPHONSE ELRIC:<br><br /><br><br />I frequently tell people to watch FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. They never do. I think about moments of selflessness that these two enact throughout the series, and it just breaks my heart that people aren't this good in real life. Two brothers who only want the other's happiness! Seriously, how magnificent is that?<br><br /><br><br />I BESEECH you to give up your misgivings about anime, and power through the first ten episodes of the series and see if you like it. You will, I have a feeling that you will, because it's literally the best.<br><br /><br><br />SHAWN AND GUS:<br><br /><br><br />Psych is a funny show. It's incredibly well-written, produced and intriguing. If you like watching procedural shows, there really isn't a better one out there. Shawn and Gus have been friends since their infancy. They know each incredibly well. Their chemistry is phenomenal, and while I would like to state that the two sets of brothers that follow this entry are closer, I think Shawn and Gus might be more cleverly written as a pairing than those that might follow. Although it's NECK AND NECK. Whenever Gus or Shawn is in danger, the other will go to any lengths to rescue them. Their banter is incredibly well written.<br><br /><br><br />"Wait for it! WAIIIIIIIIIIT FOR ITTTT!"<br><br /><br><br />"I've heard it both ways." "No you haven't Shawn!"<br><br /><br><br />OOOOH SO MANY GIFS. HOPE YOU HAVE RAM.<br><br /><br><br />TURK AND JD:<br><br /><br><br />Seriously, these guys love each other. While Turk isn't always amazing at showing his affection (see above), he works on it, and by the end of the series, two are routinely inseparable. Zach Braff and Donald Faison are still friends in real life, and the two regularly do projects together (recently Faison did an AMA on Reddit, and Zach Braff asked him the funniest questions).<br><br /><br><br />And finally, despite having said goodbye to all the other brotherships on this list (with the exception of Shawn and Gus) I'm left saying goodbye to yet another two brothers this week. At least one of them.<br><br /><br><br />TROY AND ABED:<br><br /><br><br />Goddammit Troy! Goddammit DONALD GLOVER! Why did you have to leave Community? You were the soul of the show! And now?! What are we going to be left with? Probably a really good show, but it was really hard to watch you leave this week. As it is with everything in Community, these two had a bromance that defied all of the standard bromance tropes. There wasn't an episode with them coming to terms with them deeply loving another man. There wasn't an episode where they pretended like they might be able to love one another in a serious way. Instead they challenged one another routinely. They genuinely cared for each other's well-being beyond themselves. It was hard to say goodbye again. AGAIN! Again.<br><br /><br><br />But it was worth the watch anyway. And there's a slim chance we might seem them together again!<br><br /><br><br />I went on a date tonight! It was a lot of fun! This was the first time I saw this one.<br><br /><br><br />We ate dinner and went to see Her.<br><br /><br><br />I really liked Her. The movie.<br><br /><br><br />I also liked her. The girl. She had really small hands. Which was sort of cute.<br><br /><br><br />Shout out to Tim Rabe who made me feel like blogging was worth my time!<br /><a href='http://blogfog.aws.af.cm/ad/site.php?u=eNrLKCkpsNLXz8wtLsjN0yvPL0opKEotLtZLzs%2FVNzIwNNE3MNQ3stBPKsovyUgtKtYHAKGMEFc%3D' target='details'>Full Post</a><br />Animonohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09205122367223626862noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5308483633236778470.post-69884437633468677172014-01-29T00:43:00.001-08:002014-01-29T00:43:16.063-08:00Animazement Announces Three Animators From Studio Trigger as GuestsAnimazement has announced that three animators from Studio Trigger will be guests at their next convention.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense.

The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined.

The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.

Free States and his running mate Libertarian Washington won but before they moved in a couple government officials gave one last address to the People this included Crescellia, who had to drop out of the race because of real life issues, who talked about his term in office and gave it that last huzzah and Lewis and Daniel who talked about what he had done while he was the Undersecretary of Defense. Not too long after Free States took office and got to work. One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section. Remember that the names of the new ones are links to MyAnimeList were you can find more information, Synopsis, reviews, average score, Voice Actors, and more! Also I would be happy to talk about any series or movie that you might want to discuss. Also I have found out about a new anime site. Once again I shall list the names of those I have done. Also Lewis and Daniel is always happy to talk about anime with you. Or if you need to know some anime sites just ask! This time you will also be getting a Summer time edition! Why because with summer coming round you might just have more time to spend watching anime and reading manga not just short ones either. Also we have a couple new anime watching fans out there. We will keep up with these Summertime Editions for a while, while the summer and anime always stay in our heart. This might just be our last summertime edition sadly enough but I might just keep things the same and spice things up and put a couple new things in here.

One of our sources said that while Free States was cleaning out the Presidential mansion he found lots of things that others had left behind, like a secret dungeon with screams and cries coming from it, a stash of hentai, rope and a candle, some gum underneath one of the chairs, pants that had been hidden, and a whole lot more like his old gun that he hid in the English Dictionary. It isn't exactly known what Free States did with all of the things he found and we might never find out.<br><br /><br><br />Soon after that Free States released his appointments to the Cabinet which included older faces like Trook and Andune who are now the Secretary of the Interior and Treasure, respectfully, and newer faces like Emrys Mercer who will be taking over the military. Then not too long ago he released his nominations for Attorney General and the Supreme Court Justices to the Senate, with included Mytzonia, who still has to take law classes before he can assume the office, Imperium, Conserlan, and New Lafayette, respectfully.<br><br /><br><br />The Senate also saw some new senators in the elections with Western Timpetotia, Bacilli, and Britarvia all coming back to the Senate after time away and Aurumaquaria replacing Andune and getting his first chance in the region to serve office. With new senators coming in that also means that speaker elections must also come to fruition, this time with Hunteiria, Queen Rebecca and Lewis and Daniel all running. The race was tight however after Hunteiria and Queen Rebecca tied 4 to 4 Lewis and Daniel broke the tie by changing his vote from himself to Hunteiria who will once again be our Speaker.<br><br /><br><br />Hopefully this coming term will be a good one but as many people like to say only time will tell.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />ARE YOU A CEO? meaning that the budget only passed by 2 votes and a very slim margin, perhaps the smallest margin a budget has passed on in over 6 months. The Senators voting against and abstaining did so for a variety of reasons such as cutting the salaries of senators who had no say in if they wanted their salary cut yet saying that they did, little transparency and no receipt from the Department of Treasury on how they exactly spend $25,000 while other departments who had published a receipt and had the ability to spend more were left at under $5,000, among other issues.<br><br /><br><br />However this seemed to infuriate the Secretary and a few others who barged in on the voting stage in the Senate and disrupted the chamber, who will be fined. Order was restored. However the Secretary went on to post several other posts in other threads about the budget and what he thought of the senators who didn't vote for it, once such quote "So don't expect me to raise any payments again for Senators who, as I see it, didn't do their job correctly." as some conspiracy theorists view this as well as others, they see this quote as the Secretary saying that he will be holding the Senator's salaries hostage because they didn't vote they way that he wanted and will probably lower Senator's salaries again in February.<br><br /><br><br />Though the budget has passed, so in the long run while it didn't get the support other budgets in the past have it stilled passed which means that the government can continue operating and no shutdown will be had, but this could also mean that more thought and planning will be going into the next budget and hopefully it will be able to get more votes and be a better budget.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />PUBLISHING ON JANUARY 19TH.<br><br /><br><br />NARUTO RP GOING ON!<br><br /><br><br />Naruto.<br><br /><br><br />With a slue of other role plays going on several people have still found time to start another one which looks very promising or at least for now, a Naruto role play. The role play which as you might have figured out takes place in the world of Naruto where people get to develop their own characters who can the ability to have some totally awesome jutsu. Currently in the RP there is a tournament in the Leaf Village that will be testing the skills of shinobi and ninja all over the world, which was done to see what our characters got versus others. So far the tournament hasn't started so new members can join at anytime they want, no knowledge of Naruto needed, but helpful.<br><br /><br><br />That's not all there is also a lot of out of context talk about Naruto like pairings, you know Naruto x Hinata, Neji x Tenten, so on. However many other role plays have started out just as fine like the New Modern World RP, and many others but soon fall to inactivity and other nasty things. Will the Naruto RP also fall to those things? Let's hope not but only time will actually tell us. That's time for you, always holding the secrets we want to know.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />UPDATE ON THE MESSENGER AND NRI<br><br /><br><br />I was wanting to use this picture :3<br><br /><br><br />Hello everyone and thank you once again for reading the wonderful paper that we like to call The Messenger. Before we get into everything else about the company I'd just like to tell you a few things. The first time The Messenger appeared in NationStates was several years ago as The British Messenger in The United Kingdom, it didn't stay for long though later I believe I opened it up again in The Kingdom of Denmark as The Danish Messenger. The Messenger might have also been in a couple other regions but I forget. Now we've been in The Allied Republic and first published on July 25, 2012. Now it's January 12, 2014 and this is our 27th issue. We are one of the oldest and longest running papers here and are nearing our 30th issue. It has been quite a journey and we'd like to thank you for helping us out every step of the way.<br><br /><br><br />Next we'd like to talk about The Messenger Postal Service, the very first postal service of it's kind in the region. It is a subdivision of The Messenger which as the name implies sends out letters, messages, and telegrams. The company has a very effective formula for determining payment. The base fee, currently $100, then $3 times the number of messages or telegrams you want to send out, then if you want us to write the letter an additional fee is added.<br><br /><br><br />The Goddess Casino has also opened up which deals with bets, gambling and all that other cool stuff. It recently held bets on the elections and will probably do so again next election. It is also working to develop a lotto and other forms of gambling.<br><br /><br><br />North Republic Industries is doing quite well and has been seeing good profits so far from it's various companies and will be publishing a finial report very soon.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENT<br><br /><br><br />Speaker Hunteiria making sure that the Senate is Active and Doing Fine while following the rules and being awesome.<br><br /><br><br />Support Her Today!<br><br /><br><br />AN INTERVIEW WITH TROOK ABOUT HIS NEW ELECTIONS ACT<br><br /><br><br />Today we sat down with Secretary of the Interior Trook where we we're able to talk to him about Election Act VI which he hopes will help to improve the region and cut down on the red tape that's involved with our election process.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 1. How will this new Elections Act be cutting red tape and how will it help the election process?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: The new act will help by cutting down bureaucracy such as the election reports as long with cutting down in the wording of the law to make it simpler to understand what quicker to find out what you need to know.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 2. Why did you decide to write a new elections act?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well as part of my tasks as Secretary of the Interior I have been tasked by President Free States to cut down on the admin side of the SOI and to deal with some issues that people raised and he himself agreed with that made people feel restricted in the elections particularly in regards to political parties being limited to only have as many candidates as there are seats to win in the senate elections.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 3. Why do you think it is better than the current one?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Well this version is less cumbersome than the lasts in terms of limitations and formal reports which some Secretaries ignored, I am not naming names but there was a key link between getting elected to senate then not doing the report. I also admit to myself that it is a lot simpler as I can almost fir it on one screen without having to slide down whilst keeping necessary regulation.<br><br /><br><br />TM: 4. Imperium also proposed an election act not too long ago, why do you think yours is better?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: Although I know Imperium will disagree but I feel his is too simple to the point we lose standardisation which keeps the elections the name every time so no one can start saying one election is harder than the other due to how they were organised. Secondly you also lost a lot of accountability in his due to the SOI not even being required to encourage people to vote or to stand as candidates which I think would lead elections having less participation along with the Senate loosing he ability to impeach the SOI if they done a job so bad that they had to be remove.<br><br /><br><br />TM: Alright, thank you. Is there anything else you would like to add?<br><br /><br><br />Trook: It has the formal and official support of the President + It looks like Imps may be voted down in the senate<br><br /><br><br />There you have it folks straight from the Secretary himself.<br><br /><br><br />CULTURE/OPINION/GOOD ANIME SECTION - WINTERTIME EDITION!<br><br /><br><br />Hello, Hello, Hello we are once again back for another addition to my favorite section.

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor -- Also sometimes called Musekinin Kanchou Tylor. It aired in 1993. It starts out with Justy Ueki Tylor who after seeing an ad decides to join the military, get a desk job, and then retire with a fat pension. That was until he managed to save an former admiral from people who were holding him hostage and to reward Tylor he is promoted and becomes the Captain of the Soyokaze. It goes on from there.<br><br /><br><br />The Story is good, it's entertaining and enjoyable. It's not really deep but it still has a nice story. It is a comedy, parody, space, military, anime. It is really funny a lot of the time. It is nice to watch and let's you break away from life and drama. At times you may stray away from it but you'll come back. The Characters are pretty good, Captain Tylor is really funny and a likable and enjoyable character as well as others like Yuriko, Yamamoto, and Goza. I liked them. Character development is there, the characters really change through out the anime. You see how the crew grows together and how they change. It's pretty good. The music is good, I really enjoyed the opening and ending themes and as well as some of the other soundtracks, they were pretty good and I wish I could find the ringtones. I watched the English dub, it was good, I thought that the voices matched the characters pretty well. The animation is old, it was from 1993, but I also liked watching that older animation sometimes. It isn't the best but it's fine.<br><br /><br><br />The ending was nice, there is a OVA squeal but I haven't seen it yet. The enjoyment is good, I liked it, it was nice. It was also nice to watch older anime, I do like watching older anime sometimes.<br><br /><br><br />2. Nodame Cantabile -- One of my favorite anime, it deals with music and the life of Shinichi Chiaki and Megumi Noda or as everyone calls her Nodame. The story starts off with Chiaki walking around campus of a music college, and says that everything's bad or terrible or something, but he then hears something that's not terrible. Chiaki is from a respectable family and has traveled around Europe and has been in Japan for a while. He can play the piano and the violin and is good at both, however wishes to become a conductor and he is a perfectionist. Nodame plays the piano an unkempt girl. The story goes on.<br><br /><br><br />The story is wonderful, I really enjoyed it and it was amazing. I really liked it, it deals with music, slice of of life, drama, romance, comedy, and is josei. I really liked it as it told a wonderful story and I really liked how it deals with college. The pacing is also well done. The Characters are wonderful, Chiaki and Nodame are wonderful and amazing I really liked them as well as many of the other characters like Milch. Not only that but I also like the relationships between the characters. The Character development was also pretty well done and it's nice. You can see how they develop and move. The music, really key to the anime as it deals with classical music. The music is wonderful, the opening and ending are very wonderful and I like them and have used both of them as ringtones. Not only that but the songs that they play though out the series. This anime really helped me to really start liking classical music again. Now for the voice acting I watched the first season dubbed on Crackle and it was great I really liked it the voices were good, but I don't think that they have dubbed any further than that so I had to watch the second season subbed, which was good but I would have liked to have had the dubbed. The animation is also well done, I liked it.<br><br /><br><br />The ending of the first season was good of course I went to the second season later and still have to watch the third. The enjoyment is great, I really liked it. This is one of my favorite anime, I just love it. I have also read a lot fo the manga after it, I didn't jump ahead though and still need to finish reading a lot of it.<br><br /><br><br />ADVERTISEMENTS<br><br /><br><br />Join the Church of Northerntal.
