I was browsing through MMOSITE when I found these two really nice looking Perfect World Wallpapers. If I’m not mistaken, these wallpapers were made and distributed in Japan.

Bleach, one of my favorite anime titles, released episode 166 last night and it was an amazing episode!

Anyway, I’m sorry I wasn’t to post this afternoon. There were several meetings that I couldn’t afford to [...]
