I'm just used to visiting this thread at the weekend and checking out your summaries.

It also became my habit of typing the summery, I actually enjoy writing it more then I thought I would, and still, excuse me for my awful english, spelling, grammar, and an absolutely tiny volcab ^_^'' english isn't my best subject.

A few page back, I think I mentioned that Shugo Chara is almost the new Cardcaptor Sakura. Shugo Chara manga certainly is on par with Cardcaptor Sakura manga, while Shugo Chara anime definately not as good as CCS. CCS had a better script, better fillers and better animation consistancey. CCS obviously would have a better script since CLAMP wrote it for the anime.

GAH I want the new Shugo Chara DS game, apparenly Amu-chan would chara-nari with other shugo charas, including Yoru and Musashi (I think). WHY THE HECK ISNT NAKAYOSHI MAKING A CALANDER THIS YEAR?!?! Okay, they are making one, just one issue later then Ribon...fuuu. Slightly disapointed with the Shugo Chara page in the calendar, Koge Donbo and Ema Toyama (Honestly her artwork is so nice, I think she'll earn more if she did moe manga ^_^'') pages are the high light in the calendar. And yes, Nakayosi finally knows how to rip fans off, volume 8 is released as 'Normal' 'Special' 'Limited' editions....

Buono! is still continuing doing the endings, the next ending is already planned. There's leaked information that it is going to be called 'Koi no mahou potion', but since it's leak, it's not 100% accurate.

[Asrialys]

Not sure if anyone else knew about this, but Peach-Pit's website has some nice downloads. Shugo Chara desktop icons, some Zombie-Loan wallpaper, and a Rozen Maiden wallpaper dating the release of the first Shinsouban.

Just look for the pink links. The icons are in a zip file.

What's with that anyway? I saw the Special one listed on Amazon and it mentioned a calendar (that's what I was able to read). There weren't any details though. Heh, I wonder if the Special even includes the postcards...

[musume_no_hoshi]

Well with a mixture of google translation and chinese reading skills (just reading the kanjis ;P) thats what I got from the official nakayoshi website.

http://games.nakayosi-net.com/goods/index.html

Normal edition - just the manga
Special Edition - manga (I think the special edition have a special cover) and 5 postcards
Limited Edition - manga and desktop calender

Don't trust nakayoshi with their special edition...I got a kamichama karin special edition and all it had was a plastic cover >_>'' I do recomend Ribon's special edition with Shinshi Doumei Cross...it has full colour playing cards xD But obviously that depends on what series you like.

And now, every SINGLE cover of Nakayoshi is Shugo Chara...I mean even the first issue of Nakayoshi with Shugo Chara doesn't even have a Shugo Chara cover ^_^''

Shugo Chara icons <3 too bad they don't match my dark theme on my desktop. Maybe I should have a very pinkish girly theme

Okay episode 61 wasn't great, and the subs are already out anyway. I'll just do a super breif summery. It's great that the speed sub now works with the first HD raw that is out. I just need to download the sub file and not the whole episode again

Episode 61

Spoiler for Episode 61:

-A little girl named Hinako is moving house, she has a shugo-egg that has not given birth yet. While on the van to her new house, the egg fell out. Amu-chan and her shugo chara picked it up and kept it save in the guardian's glass house.

-While Amu-chan are in class the shugo charas tries to call out the shugo chara out of the lost egg. Apparently Dia's egg was at the glass house and Dia's soul told the lost egg not to be scared. The egg then hatched, apparently a Shugo Chara called Kiran appeared. She then flew away.

-Kiran then went around helping other animals/people. First she helped a bird, then a crying baby, then a old granny with back problems, then a boy with his mother ill. Each time a shugo chara from the guardians helped, in the same order, Kiseki, Kusu Kusu, Daichi and last but not least, Ran, Miki and Suu. And each time the target always happen to be in 'Kira kira' mode.

-Kiran told the rest of the shugo chara that she was trying to get back to Hinako-chan. The whole shugo chara team is now trying to find Hinako-chan. Kiran helped a cat before, and Yoru said he'll help Kiran back because she helped his comrades.

-A whole army of cats then tried and find Hinako. And the results was very odd. Somewhere where the rainboy ends, a school with a sea around it.

-While Kiran was trying to help this worker/driver guy to pick up the dropped oranges, the guy obviously cannot see Kiran and locked her up in a cardboard box full of oranges.

-Utau has another live, Eru and Iru are trying to handout leaflets. The shugo charas noticed if they hand it out, they would be invisible to people. So they're inside a clown costume. After handing out all the leaflets the shugo charas are all dead and tired. Kiran was still energetic and helped to cool down everyone.

-Kiran then fainted and was very weak, apparently Hinako-chan started to think that she'll never see Kiran anymore. Eventually they found Hinako-chan.

-Hinako-chan then continued to say sorry. Kiran then chara-changed Hinako-chan so that she isn't shy anymore and becoming a sparkling girl.

-Hinako-chan then helped this other girl who just fell down, then the chara-change disapeared, but the girl asked Hinako-chan to be friends with her.

Nothing too special this episode, but according to the speedsub blog/website, Kiran was the winner of the shugo chara design competition. No wonder the episode seem EXTRA cheesy

NEXT EPISODE : Rima-tan VS Nagihiko, they're Rivals?!
Next episode should be great, Rima-tan's little jealousy. And no one minds more Nagihiko screen time right? Looks like we're gonna see Nagihiko in non-school uniform

[Shiroth]

Episode 61 was plenty of fun. Made me laugh quite a bit how over the top positive Kiran was.

[Risaa]

I haven't started doki! yet. I figure I'd like to marathon, so we'll see how long I can wait...

All the volumes of shugo chara manga have been released as normal and special types. The special volumes are all just like the normal volumes but they come with a few postcards and holographic cover to set them apart. And from checking amazon.co.jp, as far as I can tell, the limited volume this time just comes with a calendar and nothing more. I've been getting every special volume up 'til now, and I don't intend to stop (I love the postcards ), though now it's more difficult since I can't just run to Gamers anymore...

[musume_no_hoshi]

I've only been collecting the hong kong chinese volumes They're cheap, legal and very similar to the original japanese version, well the normal version. A random note, the chinese version of Nakayoshi, Comic Fans, serializes the 4-koma of Shugo Chara. I got like one chapter of it, it's pretty hilarious.

To get japanese manga in England, you have to pay a premium. I had to import my Shinshi Doumei Cross volume 11 special edition, and it costed me around £12. While it's around 1200 yen in japan, which is around £7. Yes, I'm one of those crazy Arina-chi fans...I even have her japanese edition artbook and KKJ japanese re-release version. Maybe you do have a chance to buy them in London...but I don't live in London T^T.

Lets hope my mum can find my Shugo Chara volume 8 limited edition, I have a special love for calenders.

Well, I'm for sure getting the Special Edition, since I've gotten the last seven. lol I was considering how fan enough I was to get the one with the desk calendar that I'm not even going to use. I'm already getting the 2009 calendar...

[musume_no_hoshi]

Oh my, the new opening's PV is released. All I could do is /facepalm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0Ho4gn9z-I

I don't like anime within PVs, and the clips just NO way fits in. The CG is definately yesterday's techology. And the dance isn't catchy either, and it's too simple X_X''. At least I'm getting used to the song. I'm totally biased here because I wanted Buono! to do the opening. On the other hand, the costumes are made well. Amulet Cover's chara-nari costume looks better in real life then it is in the anime. Amulet Spade's costume looks worst in real life then in anime.

I'll just stick to Rottara Rottara...or the new ending soon enough.

[FireChick]

I thought the PV was cool! Hey! At least I got to tell their voices apart!

The PV is so cute!!


Took me quite sometime to get used to the opening and ending of Doki but it's all good now.
Also I'm thankful the episodes come out quite fast.

*now on episode 61

[Zerochidori]

Im really loving this series. I love how its so light and you can tak a break from it and not really miss a beat. I loved 61, I was thinking that Kiran is like that girl who is so energetic that it gets to you. Overall good ep.

[Liddo-kun]

I'm not sure if it's been posted yet or not, sorry if repost.

Episode 62 is great. Can't ask for more Nagihiko and Rima-tan after this episode. Summery again~

Spoiler for Episode62:

This week would be a more detailed summery. Why? Because I like this episode, nuff said.

-The three weirdo scientists are trying to catch batsu-tama. Apparently they require alot of dark energy for Ikuto's violin.

-The guardians are doing a large cleanup at the Royal Garden. The shugo charas are also helping, except Kiseki. Rima-tan is also having a good laugh at Amu-chan who's shouting at Yaya-chan like a monster.

-Yaya-chan then found a photo from one year ago. It has Tadase, Kukai, Yaya, Amu and Nadeshiko. Yaya asked Amu-chan is she still in touch with Nadeshiko, obviously she isn't. Rima-tan is down about Nadeshiko being Amu-chan's best friend, she doesn't even laugh at Kusu Kusu weird faces.

-Amu-chan is late for school, but Nadeshiko is even later. Rima-tan stared at the two at the school gates. During lessons Rima-tan is also day dreaming. Kusu Kusu is very worried about Rima-tan. Amu-chan also noticed that Rima-tan feels down.

-Amu-chan went to talk to Rima-tan, Rima-tan is overloaded with joy, then Nagihiko appeared. Fangirls appeared saying there's a 'two shot' with Amu-chan and Nagihiko together, they forgotten about Rima-tan. Rima-tan then walked off angryily.

-Kusu Kusu asked Amu-chan and Nagihiko to help to make Rima-tan smile again. Amu-chan begged Nagihiko to help too with her sparkling attack, he then admitted he's weak to that sort of face.

-Kusu kusu then trained Amu-chan to do the weird face. Nagihiko was doing something secret at the park with Amu-chan's shugo charas.

-Amu-chan texted Rima-tan asking her to go shopping the day after. Rima-tan is happy about that.

-On the actual day, Rima-tan saw Nagihiko was also there, obviously she's back to being the unhappy Rima-tan. Amu-chan tried to do the weird face, but that wouldn't make Rima-tan smile. Rima-tan then lecture Amu-chan about the bad warai. Amu-chan then dressed up as weird stuff to try and make Rima-tan laughed, but all she had was a stern face.

-The three went to the park (the park where Nagihiko was at). Apparently he digged holes at the park and Amu-chan keeps falling in to them. There's also a weird clown that appear and scared the hell out of the Amu-chan. Rima-tan showed a smile on her face, Nagihiko then told her to laugh when she wants to. He tried to place his hand on her shoulder but Rima-tan slapped his hand. Rima-tan then shouted telling Nagihiko should stop pretending to know everything about Amu-chan.

-Now there's a constant lighting attack between Rima-tan and Nagihiko. Rima-tan then wanted to go Amu-chan's house, Nagihiko also agreed to it.

-At the house, Amu-chan's family was surprised to see Amu-chan bring her friends over. Amu-chan's dad is shocked to see a boy over and he thinks Nagihiko is her boyfriend. Nagihiko being smart, pulled his hair back into a pony and Amu-chan's dad believes it's a girl.

-Rima-tan said Amu-chan's room is surprising normal and girly. Nagihiko found the lucky charm he gave her when thye first met. Rima-tan upon seeing this rolled into a ball.

-Ami-chan brang the photo album to Amu-chan's room. The three flipped it through. They saw a teddy that's in the photo, Ami-chan then revealed that Amu-chan takes alot of care on the teddy, but Amu-chan is too cool and spicy to admit it.

-The three then went to make cream puffs. Amu-chan then claimed how long since she had making sweets with Nadeshiko. Amu-chan obviously failed at making cream puffs. Rima-tan couldn't make the cream all puffy, so Nagihiko helped her, Rima-tan eggs sparkled after the cream was done. And everyone in the house ate the cream puffs.

-The three scientists acidently let out some bad eggs.

-The three was at the park again, and saw the bad eggs. Amu-chan and Rima-tan chara-naried. Nagihiko had a plan in mind, but Rima-tan ran the other way then the one Nagihiko told her, saying that Nagihiko shouldn't boss her around when he couldn't chara-nari.

-Then some bad eggs tried to attack Rima-tan with dark energy. Nagihiko protected Rima-tan with his barehands and obviously slightly hurt. Then Rima-tan listened to Nagihiko's plan to gather the bad egg at one point.

-Amu-chan did her Negative-heart-lock-on after all the eggs are gathered.

-After everything was done, Nagihiko fell in a hole. The two girls laughed. Rima-tan laughed extra hard and lended a hand to pull Nagihiko up. Nagihiko used this chance to pull Rima-tan down. Amu-chan fell in the hole too anyway.

-The lightning attack between Rima-tan and Nagihiko was still here.

That took a long a time to type up. But it's definately one good episode. Not too much was going on, but everything was pleasant to watch. I wonder would Nagihiko x Rima would be a valid couple, they seem pretty cute together. Nagihiko certainly looks great in male clothing too. Need more Nagihiko if Ikuto's arc isn't any time soon.

[Shiroth]

Thanks for the calender images. I'm tempting to order it myself.

Spoiler for Episode 62:

This was such an enjoyable episode, and it had plenty of Nagihiko --- so i really can't ask for more. I looooove him~

When i see him and Amu together, it just reminds me of how he feels for her, and how important these scenes actually are. Speaking of Amu, she was on top form this episode, though most of that was her basically end up being laughed at, which was quite fun.

Ami makes me laugh as usual. She seriously is the character that makes me laugh the most in this show.

[Zerochidori]

Spoiler for Episode 62:

I was thinking the same thing I really enjoyed this episode because it was light and Nagihiko and Rima are sort of getting along now. I love the Nadeshiko referance!

Spoiler for thoughts on episode 62:

Rima and Nagihiko didn't get that close though.

Nagihiko seems to have genuine feelings for Amu, although it isn't clear yet whether it's true love or he just likes her as a friend. Amu is so lucky if it turns out on the later episodes that Nagihiko likes her more than a friend, that would make 4 guys already fell for her!

Surprised that Rima is more perceptive of things around her than she looks, she seems to be one step closer on this episode to finding out Nagi's secret. I wonder what would happen if Rima finds out that Nagihiko and Nadeshiko are just one person?

[Chiisa]

While browsing the interwebs yesterday I found someones blog and they talked about the desktop calendar that came with Shugo chara volume 8. They did post some pictures but most likely they were taken with a camera phone so the quality isn't very good, but I though you guys might like to see them.
These are the only ones they uploaded:



You can see Nagi's other Chara

[Asrialys]

Argh! I knew I should have gotten it :P I don't think Amazon has them anymore. Meh, would have cost me $60 (including Special Edition 8).
