The RAD kids are trying to show they are not evil and also that they just want to go to school just like everyone else. So with Bekka making a problems, and Cleo, daughter of the Mummy thinking she is not getting the attention she so deserves as well as a teen photoshoot.

Manga
Pandora Hearts
****

Oz is turning fifteen and he's about to get a huge problem, he meets B. Rabbit who is out to find her memories and also trying to solve a mystery, his own attempted murder. He learns that B. Rabbit is his only chance and must ally with her in order to save the family and find out who Baskerville is.

This series is actually really good, the story is mysterious and also addicting. I found this series to be sad and also very interesting.

Anime
Sora no Woto (Sound of the Sky)
*****
Kanata wants to be a trumpeter like her hero, a princess who went about the country bringing hope to the people fighting a neighbor for a reason no one remembers. Kanata who just turned fifteen ends up at Trumpeting the Hours fort where she meets the girls who are rebuilding a forgotten tank. She meets Rio, a trumpeter as well, Filicia the commander, Kureha the gunner, and Noel the group's mechanic.

The series has a mystery to it, a past that is mixed with Japanese, Spanish, and many others. At first it looks strange with the history of a world that is our current and their past. It is almost sad and very interesting little bits of history and set to a war no one knows why it is going on.

Brisingr
by Christopher Paolini
*****
Continuing the adventure with Eragon and his dragon friend, Saphira, they face new dangers and Eragon's cousin join in the battle to find not only his love and also get the story. More than ever Morzan's legacy follows them no matter what and the secrets of the past are soon revealed to everyone about the heritage of the new dragon rider.

I love the story, it is very catching and keeps my attention, the action is so easy to imagine and characters are easy to follow.


Movies

Tron: Legacy
****
Continuing where the last Tron movie left off, this movie takes place in present day with the son of the computer creator. Missing for years, the son of the creator has to go into the machine and pry his father out. He meets Clue who looks exactly like his father when he left.

The movie really is a good one, but seriously, I would tell anyone that it is best to see the first movie before you go and watch this one. This is a long awaited sequel, the music is amazing and also the story.

Anime
Canvas 2
*****
Main characters from a dating sim called Canvas are back and there is more fight over a high school teacher named Hiroki. Assistant teacher, Hiroki has his hands full, he has a student who uses him for writing her manga novel, a student who is always ill, his cousin who is obsessed with him, and his old high school flame, Kiri. He has his own problems too, he just can't draw, he is supposed to be celebrated artist, but he just can't seem to find away to draw. Truly he has his hands full.

This series was something my fiance and I sat down and watched together. The story seemed like an average slice of life, but it is anything but that. The story is cute and the characters are sort of able to grow on you quite well. The ending is surprising, but I'm not going to give it away. Just that it isn't who you expect that gets in the guy in the end.
