Detective Animes

In the world of anime, we are used to stories of magical girls battling monsters, giant robots waging war and martial artists fighting with powers. So the idea of an anime without fantastic or futuristic elements sounds, well, strange. But one kind of "realistic" anime, the  Detective anime, is steadily gaining popularity. Let's take a closer look.

Detective anime are filled with mystery and suspense as their heroes try to solve crimes in every episode. Conan Edogawa from Detective Conan constantly cracks private detective Kagorou Mouri's cases for him - even if Conan is only seven-years-old (he is a 17 y-old boy trapped in a seven-year-old boy's body.)

Detective anime usually have several main characters fulfilling different roles like Kyu, Megumi Minami, Kintarou Touyama, Kazuma Narusawa and Ryu Amakusa from Detective School Q. However, sometimes a single lead character has a supporting cast like Hejime Kindaichi and his friends in the police from Files of Young Kindaichi.

There are three important roles:

1. The Natural-Born Detective, it is very important tho have gift with the skills of observation and reasoning, unlike others who need to stay and train others who need to study and train to achieve the same level.

2. The Brains of the Group, Intelligent and research is important too. Analyzing the clues that the group discover, then the natural-Born Detective puts the clues together and solves the case.

3. The Bungling Sidekick, means well and  tries really hard to keep but clueless. When the time comes to solve the mystery, the Bungling Sidekick represents the viewers who may have missed something or couldn't keep up.

If you think Detective anime are boring because they're set in the real world then you've got another think coming! They are thrilling stories packed with action and danger as the heroes often risk their lives to find the truth and catch the bad guys! Tune in to these problem-solvers when you get tired of your magical girls, giant robots and martial artists, or if you just want something a little different!

What you need to start your own secret society 2!

If you haven't read the part 1 then, better read it first.

What's in a name?

So you've got your members. Here comes the tricky part: trying to figure out the perfect name for your secret society. It has to be something catchy. You could name it after a symbol you all like, an animal you think best represents your group or a characteristic that you all possess. The Teen Titans, for example, chose their name because they are all teenagers with titanic superpowers! Or you could be totally unique, maybe combine the first letters of your member's names. Be inventive. Who knows, you might even come up with a name that's so one-of-a-kind that you can be sure no other group has thought of it before.

What you need to start your own secret society!

Choose Your Members!

Of course, you can't start a secret society without members. Be extremely careful in choosing them, though. You can't just go around getting random kids off the street. Choose frineds who you can trust, those who share the same vision as the rest of the group. The Fantastic Four had a simple of choosing members: you had to be hit by cosmic radiation. In your case, maybe you can invite oly your friends to become members. Don't worry if you start with only two members. You can always build up secret society, just like the Justice League.

Once you've chosen the initial set of members, it's time to pick a 'leader' - one who won't dictate what should or should not be done by the group but someone who will guide the group. It is important, though, that you choose a capable leader who has the approval of all your members.

Berimbau!

Who would have though that you could make an instrument out of Legolas' bow? A berimbau is made from a long wooden bow, whose ends are tied together with a steel string. A hollowed-out shell attached to one end amplifies the sound. You play the bow with a coin or a stone, a stick and a basket shaker.... you've definitely got your hands full when you play the berimbau! It may have originated in Africa, but it's mostly used in Brazil today, where it plays an important part in the Brazilian martial art of copoeira. This funky fighting style has capoeiristas dancing to the brath of berimbaus!

Daddy...Mommy...

From the day I was born... I'm blessed to have a dad and a mom. They took care of me and raise me like this. And I'm thankful of that. Daddy is my number one man in this earth and same to mommy. I love them both.

Daddy is such a workaholic person. He wants to do something everyday when he's at home... like fixing his car, creating some stuffs that I don't know. And he always want me to massage him. ^_^ Those days were really great but now, those moments are gone...

It was on wednesday 1am, when my dad suffered from stroke. And right now he's in the hospital with my sisters. Daddy cannot move his left side body coz the doctor said that his left brain suffered from hypoxia (less blood supply to the brain).
