In Naruto Shippuuden, it was about the truth behind Madara and Itachi. They had a montage of Itachi moments that Sasuke was remembering from before he killed the entire clan. He starts to realize that maybe his image of him wasn't true, and he did just want to protect him. Itachi had been ordered by the Anbu to kill his entire clan, and to leave Konoha. 80 years ago, there were 2 clans that were feared the most: the Uchiha and the Senju. The Senju's leader at the time would be the future 1st Hokage of Konoha. He fought constantly with Madara, and they respected each other. Madara had only taken his brother's eyes to protect the clan. His brother was willing to 'sacrifice' himself. The Senju offer a truce, and after a while he accepts it. After this the nation of Konoha formed and consisted of many clans including the Uchiha. Madara still fought for equal rights for his clan, but no one seemed to listen. So, he left to become an 'avenger' (hmmm... sounds familiar. :P) and declared war on Konoha. He fought the 1st in the Valley of the End. Everyone including the 1st thought he died there. So, they forgot about him. The 2nd gave the Uchiha a special position as the Konoha Police Force. This would keep them out of government positions and would keep an eye on them. The clan realized this, and tried to form a rebellion. It was too late though. The Kyuubi attack was 'natural' (according to Madara), but since the Uchiha are the only ones who can tame it, they blamed them. So, they were put under strict surveillance under the Anbu Black Ops, and forced to relocate to the outskirts of Konoha. The 3rd opposed this, but Danzou (who was head of that Anbu branch) didn't listen. Itachi became a spy for the clan when he joined the Anbu.
Hetalia was hilarious yet again! XD One episode was about WWII with France and England trying to talk Poland into forming an alliance with them and to fight Germany. Poland didn't really care. So, they came up with the Common Defence Pact, which was worthless. England made a new weapon, again in WWII, called the Panjandrum to penetrate part of the Atlantic Wall. It was a rocket propelled device. It failed to move in a straight line when sand got into the wheels, making it useless. I looked this up, and it was very accurate. I love how the mangaka depicts countries and historical things (events, customs, etc.) making it interesting and mostly funny. And they've been pretty accurate so far. (Even with how some foods came about. This guy's awesome!) There was a scene where England thinks he's going to die after the device failed. America responded with, "You can't die yet, you still owe me money!" When England passes out, America shouts, "Wahoo! England's finally a goner!" XD England 'comes back to life' at that.
Next, was the Civilization and Enlightenment of Japan. Japan had been isolated for hundreds of years and then foreigners invaded, and his life as a 'shut- in' ended. France was one of the first visitors. So, Japan thinks he should learn and adopt France's culture. He starts mimicking everything France does. XD Also, he tries to do the clairvoyance thing, and channels the mangaka, who's saying thing's like I'll never make the deadline! (Funny that he'd put himself in his manga/ anime.) Towards the end there was a bit where Canada thinks he should stand out, again. He tries by trying to 'act like himself'. He puts a maple leaf on his forehead and talks to America. America slaps an American flag over it, saying you look more awesome now. In the last thing, America visits Japan and he was about to teach a new game to him. (Probably not going to end well.)
I drew a bit, also. Trying to get a handle more on anatomy through Grandma's book. I'm trying it out on the main character of my story. It's looking a bit better than before, but there's still some tweeking that needs to be done. :P He's a short character, but the example in the anatomy book has a tall guy. Plus, I want my character to not have his arms directly at his sides, it looks funny. XD Other than that, I'm learning more about it and improving. :3 After I figure out his anatomy, I'll probably work on his sister next. I'll slowly work through all my characters, which might take a while. It should be interesting. ^_^ I'll probably post what each one looks like on deviantART before moving on to the next one. So, look forward to that! XD
