Tiger & Bunny

Dear bloggie,

An awesome anime I been watching...



Think heroes rojak with reality tv. The city of Sternbild City is protected by NEXT (Superpower Mutant la) called "Hero" which compete against each other in a reality TV called "Hero TV". "Hero" will earn points based on their deeds during their air time in the TV.

The story resolves around Kotetsu Kaburagi, whom is the veteran (or perhaps past his prime) Hero called "Wild Tiger" which has the ability to increase his strength by 100 times for 5 minutes. Kotetsu finds himself forced to pair up with the newest newbie hotshot Hero to Hero TV, Barnaby Brooks Jr (Nicknamed Bunny by Kotetsu) whom happens to have the same power as him.

Story wise, I find the reality TV element of the story quite creative. I mean with the amount of reality TV sh*t we are feed nowdays, it's a rather funny mockery that even "fighting crime" is "reality tved". Also, each hero is "sponsored", hence they need to wear some costume with the company banner in them to advertise during their TV time. While the Kotetsu and Barnaby partnership story is rather expected, two stubborn people with different personality that clash head at the start then start to warm up and trust each other. The 1st half of the series is more light hearted, and focuses more on the partnership between Kotetsu and Barnaby. The 2nd half however start to raises some darker elements of "Hero" and "Hero TV". While the ending is left quite alot of loose end (Possibility for a sequel?), it's a really enjoyable anime overall...

A action + comedy anime, a well recommended watch for anime lovers...

Reset

Dear bloggie,

It's time to stir the pot a bit. I initially wanted to build muscle till my weight hits 70kg, but I decided to change my goal from a muscular body to an athletic body instead.

Training wise, will probably have a more balance schedule for weights, cardio and Pilates/Yoga. I aim to reduce my weight from my current 66kg to 65kg... Meaning shedding more fat and maybe gain a bit of muscle if possible. This means, I need to start bucking up my eating habits.

I will move my focus in weight training to mainly 3 body weights exercises: pushup, chinup and squat (fitball). Then add more core focused compound exercises. Need to discipline myself to at least do cardio 3 times a week. No changes to my regular pilates and yoga sessions.

Why I decided to change my goal. Mainly cause I think I sort of loss myself during my quest to up my physical for my running hobby. I think it's better to have a all round body rather then the incredible hulk body. I also have concern on my healthy due to my rather high cholesterol level. I wan to be healthy, not just look healthy... And my intuition says the best way to get there is via the "Middle Path"...
