Uta no☆Prince-sama♪ Maji Love Revolutions



The third installment of Uta no Prince-sama showcases the talented QUARTET NIGHT who seem to be outshining ST☆RISH. In their newly assigned teams, individual members from both idol groups must impress Shining Saotome so they can compete for the opening act in an international sporting event. If ST☆RISH succeeds, they will compete against other performing artists from all over Japan.

Nanami Haruka was also assigned by Shining to work with QUARTET NIGHT, earning ST☆RISH's jealousy. The idol groups seem to be in a competition not just for the spot in the competition but also for Haruka's affection.

ST☆RISH needs to step up their game. QUARTET NIGHT has more experience and training and it will take more than charm and good looks from Syo, Natsuki, Cecil, Tokiya, Otoya, Masato, and Ren to win it all.


ST☆RISH


Maji Love Revolutions was a slight disappointment. However, the quality of the animation and the songs have been consistent with the previous two seasons. One significant change however is the shift of focus to the individual members of QUARTET NIGHT. I admit getting a bit saddened by the change, but ST☆RISH bias aside, the series has been consistent with how it portrays each character. 

Mikaze Ai reveals his secret to Haruka, Natsuki, and Syo. He seems so composed no matter what situation he is in or the role he is playing, but there's more to him than his professionalism. Meanwhile Kurosaki Ranmaru seems like an intense and moody rocker but he translates this passion to his music. Kotobuki Reiji is the all-around nice guy with nothing but kind words for everyone. He seems to be hiding something though. On the other hand, the regal Camus is charismatic and a gentleman but he might be a bit too proud about himself.

One thing I always look forward to are the songs. I was slightly disappointed because they did not show solos from each of the ST☆RISH members. Besides that, I think the quality of the songs did not diminish. Both the opening and ending songs are fun to watch as well. Seeing ST☆RISH and QUARTET NIGHT dance was a treat.

The animation is still great. The character details from hair to clothes were well-though out. As for the story, Uta no Prince-sama's strength isn't in that area. It was the typical get-to-know-this-guy-in-this-episode scheme similar to the previous seasons. It was getting tedious because the story focused on QUARTET NIGHT. However, that twist in the last episode was clever.

Deities and Mythical Beings of the Davao Tribes

Note: I don't claim to be an expert in the mythology and religion of the six tribes featured here. My source for this information is Fay-Cooper Cole's The Wild Tribes of Davao District, Mindanao. This entry is solely a list for future references. The deities and mythological creatures here are from Fay-Cooper Cole's The Wild Tribes of Davao District, Mindanao . This is a list of the gods, goddesses, and spirits/spirit classes of the Bagobo, Bila-an, Kulaman, Tagakaolo, Ata, and Mandaya. I retained the spelling of the names found in the book. For full accounts of the myths and customs of the tribes, I recommend reading the book. BAGOBO Eugpamolak Manobo/Manama/Kalayagan  - first and greatest creator whose home is in the sky. Offerings for him should be white.

An Analysis of the Enuma Elish (The Epic of Creation) or The Seven Tablets of Creation, A Babylonian Creation Myth

*Note: This was a term paper for a class. Since I don't know what grade the professor gave me (or of she even read the paper at all), I decided to post it here. The Enuma Elish is also called The Seven Tablets of Creation. It documents the Babylonian creation epic. It was recorded in seven clay tablets found at various locations including the infamous library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh, discovered by Austen Henry Layard. The name of the hero of the epic varies depending on where the tablet is found. The most common version tells of Marduk as the hero. In other versions, the god of the city is considered the hero. Introduction The title of the epic is taken from its opening line “When in the height, heaven was not named...” The epic chronicles Marduk’s war against Tiamat. He leads the other gods against the old divinity who had turned against her children. Besides Marduk’s exploits, the epic also tells about the birth of the gods and goddesses and the creation of the universe....

The Ghost of Sparta: A Review of the God of War Series

Several adaptations of Greek Mythology in media have appeared over the years. Some were successful while the others have failed to represent the ancient Greeks. Among the most memorable I've encountered is this series. Not only was it able to illustrate the heroes, monsters and gods in myths, but also brought to the fore the often ignored question - what happens to the Greek pantheon after they defeated the Titans? It is unique because the hero in this game is not a hercules-achilles-jason clone. The protagonist is a minor figure in Greek mythology. Kratos (Cratos) is a servant of the gods and one of Zeus' children, which is close enough to the real version (Cratos is not a child of Zeus, but one of his servants along with Nike). And unlike most heroes, he does not carry weapons to save humanity. He seeks revenge to cleanse his past. The series began when he sought to kill Ares, the God of War.  He was finally able to kill Ares with the help of the other gods. The portrayal...

Literary Theory and Criticism

Note: This is my final paper for Adv. Literary Theory and Criticism, one of my classes in MA in Literature.  October 2015. I'm posting this here as a backup in case I lose my copy and I need a guide in the future. Literature is the soul of a civilization. It is the collection of dreams, ideas and experiences of a people. It is what separates us from animals. It is an examination of our aspirations, happiness, fears and sadness, ideas and opinions. As a student of literature, I have learned that to get the most out of a poem, short story, novel, play or film, I must go beyond simple reading and observation. To do this however, I have to answer first the question "how do we fully appreciate a literary piece?" This essay is divided into four sections, namely; what is literature for me; the literary theories and criticism; Heneral Luna: a film review using the poststructuralist approach; and what makes a good literature? In the first part, I will recall my experiences a...
