<p><em><strong>Sinopse: Estamos no ano de 2011. Um grupo de exploradores e pesquisadores num navio se prepara para mais um mergulho. O mergulhador a fazer mais uma experiência de mergulho livre – sem o uso de aparelhos – é Masamichi Haru. Seu amigo, Eiichirou Kushima, é quem ficará supervisionando. No entanto, no meio do mergulho, uma estranha visão de bolhas vermelhas põe tudo a perder e uma mega explosão abala o navio.<br />
Cinqüenta anos mais tarde, Masamichi Haru acorda de seu coma mal sabendo sobre o mundo a sua volta. O mundo em que ele vive agora é regido por uma rede de informações chamada Metal, criada por seu próprio amigo Eiichiro Kushima. É através do Metal que os seres humanos guardam suas memórias e informações. No entanto, tanto poder de arquivação e tecnologiapõe em risco a privacidade das pessoas. Para proteger tal sistema de hackers, mergulhadores cibernéticos são obrigados a “mergulhar” dentro da rede e resolver problemas de programação. Masamichi Haru se torna um desses cibermergulhadores. Agora sua tarefa será descobrir um lugar no mundo novo que o cerca, junto de sua fiel acompanhante, Minamo Aoi.</strong></em><strong><br />

<p>Linebarrels, Michiko, Real Drive, Casshern, Index y Ga-rei&#8230;</p>
<p>Puede que existan spoilers, puede que no&#8230; así que, proceda con precaución&#8230;</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>No hay random rant ahora&#8230; Porqué? Porque Bandai y Hobby Link Japan me mintieron. el Walker Machine 1/1000 scale plastic model del Iron Gear no decía la información completa&#8230; luego hare un post de eso, cuando obtenga una que otra imagen.</p>
<p>Kurogane no Linebarrels</p>
<div id="attachment_2318" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/vardant.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2318 " title="Vardant" src="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/vardant.jpg?w=300" alt="También conocida como Erogane, Erobarrels, y fsckn' Gonzo&#38;Hirai" width="300" height="240" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">También conocida como Erogane, Erobarrels, y fsckn&#39; Gonzo&#38;Hirai</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Qué decir de esta  serie&#8230; tantas cosas sucedieron que esta serie la llegue a considerar como buena, decente, mala y DB Evolution al mismo tiempo. Así qué, por donde empezar&#8230;</p>
<p>Sí, la serie había tenido un inicio malo. Carajo, recien había leido el manga y vi la noticia del anime y, aunque decia Gonzo y Hirai dije &#8220;qué es lo peor que puede pasar?&#8221;. Y bueno, las cosas sucedieron&#8230; mal. Comenzaba a odiar cada vez más la serie, preguntandome a mí mismo donde carajos se había ido esa magía del manga que hizo que me gustara esta serie&#8230;</p>
<p>Y entonces, contra todos los pronosticos, Linebarrels me sorprendió con el arca del golpe de estado, la destrucción de Juda y la traición del piloto del Vardant. Ese fue el mejor punto de la serie. Sí; en retrospectiva, ese fueron los mejores episodios que la serie pudo tener. Ya que, fue en este punto donde dije &#8220;carajo, Linebarrels esta cambiando&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>Pero, eso fue hasta que KatoKikan saliera con su &#8220;we did it for teh lulz&#8221;. Eran unos malditos clones abortados y no queridos de los Divine Crusaders (SRWOG)&#8230; y bueno, mientras que la DC era, en pocas palabras &#8220;La Tierra no tiene los huevos suficientes para defenderse contra la invasión extraterrestre, así que todo recae en nosotros (pero en realidad los estamos entrenando ya que si no nos pueden vencer&#8230; a la invasión que viene menos)&#8221; , KK era &#8220;Somos invasores de otro mundo que vamos a conquistar el planeta con o sin violencia (pero en realidad solo queremos detener la invasión aliandonos con la Tierra)&#8221;. Y es ese motivo el que deja muchas&#8230; distorsiones en la historia&#8230; ya qué, si a fin de cuentas se iban a unir con la Tierra cuando llegara la armada choncha&#8230; Porqué parecían unos malditos asesinos que mataban civiles y milicia por igual?</p>
<p>Pero bueno, ya había sucedido y el final se acercaba&#8230; la hora del enfrentamiento final, donde el prota saca todo su poder y convierte el main mecha en el más fuerte&#8230;y al momento final, todos los factors sacrifican su energía para que Linebarrel pueda cerrar el portal&#8230; pero sin un dispositivo de seguridad (una cuerda), seria chupado por el hoyo negro (como en Homero 3D)&#8230; y bien, fue chupado.</p>
<p>Aqui fue donde dije &#8220;bien, un final bueno&#8230; el sacrificio de los factors sera recordado&#8230; era una pelea muy dificil de ganar, y ya han dicho que era imposible escapar ese destino&#8221;&#8230; ha!, claro&#8230; yo ya esperaba los siguientes minutos, lo de &#8220;las machinas han vuelto a funcionar&#8221; y &#8220;se detecto una machina en donde estaba el hoyo negro&#8221;&#8230; y ahí valio todo.</p>
<p>En resumen: No disfrute Linebarrels. La termine de ver más que nada porque me gusto el manga, y estuve dispuesto a terminar esa abominación con tal de encontrar alguna parte buena o que simplemente mejorara un poco. Aqui podría decir comentarios elitistas y demás pero&#8230; nah, no lo hare. No es el momento.</p>
<p>Michiko to Hatchin</p>
<div id="attachment_2319" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 235px"><a href="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/hatchin.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2319" title="Hatchin" src="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/hatchin.jpg?w=225" alt="Hatchin" width="225" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hatchin</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Heh. Michiko empezo como una serie de drama&#8230; de la busqueda de las Michiko y Hatchin por la misma persona&#8230; y de la acción que se de enmedio de eso. Sí&#8230; al acción&#8230; También era una serie de acción, no?</p>
<p>Eso se estaba perdiendo en una parte, en donde se centraron más en la relación de las dos viajeras&#8230; pero, en el momento que Monstro comenzo a aparecer, la acción renació. Persecuciones, juegos de vida o muerte, combates, peleas entre bandas&#8230; acaso eso era la serie? De un principio en que veiamos las aventuras de Michiko y Hatchin a lo que sucedia con Monstro. Heh, eso me gusto. La serie ya habia dado una muestra de la acción que se podia ofrecer representandola en Michiko, pero no era suficiente, ya que en poco tiempo se realineaba en un drama aventuresco (o algo asi).</p>
<p>Pero bueno, después del conflicto encontraron a Hiroshi (? no recuerdo bien su nombre) pero, debido a una cuenta pendiente, Michiko no puede ir con ellos. A Hatchin no le agradaba la idea de ir con un completo desconocido; pero era su padre, así que las cosas deberían de arreglarse con un poco de comunicación, no?</p>
<p>Time jump! Una Hatchin más grande y con un hijo, cuyo padre se fue con otra mujer en la primer oportunidad y que le llegaban paquetes de un remitente desconocido&#8230; No habia pistas de Michiko&#8230; Sin embargo, al ver la similitud de los paquetes con recuerdos del pasado, Hatchin descubre que Michiko se estaba tratando de comunicar y que su reencuentro sería pronto&#8230;</p>
<p>Fue una muy buena serie. Tuvo sus momentos de drama (en especial el ep1 donde vemos la vida de Hatchin), de acción, comedia&#8230; Y bueno, aunque a veces la serie caía en un profundo hoyo en capitulos donde prácticamente no pasa nada, de alguna manera lograba levantarse.  Y lo mejor de todo, es que esta es de esas series que es buena en todos los aspectos: animación, música, desarrollo de personajes&#8230; Muy recomendable.</p>
<p>Real Drive</p>
<div id="attachment_2320" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 222px"><a href="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/real-drive.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2320" title="Real Drive" src="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/real-drive.jpg?w=212" alt="Real Drive" width="212" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Sci-Fi diving anime ftw</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Tarde en terminar esta serie&#8230; y no fue porque no me gustara&#8230; no lo sé, simplemente vi hasta el penúltimo capitulo y la serie fue perdiendo prioridad ante series nuevas o SRW. Y aunque tuvo sus momentos &#8220;raros&#8221; como la combinación de buceo 3D y una canción de fondo que parecia sacada de película kungfukaratesca de hollywood, RD me entretuvo&#8230; carajo, también tenía sus &#8220;cachitos del final&#8221; donde la seiyuu de Minamo promocionaba mercancia del anime&#8230; junto con imágenes chibi/chistosas al final. Lástima que lo que conseguí traía mochado esa parte, me imagino que para salvar espacio o algo así&#8230; no entrare en especificaciones técnicas, ya que no es review del grupo, si no del anime&#8230;</p>
<p>Y bueno, fue dificil encontrarle alguna trama a esta seríe&#8230; cuando pensaba que iban a ser las aventuras de Minamo y demás investigando casos de la red&#8230; pues bien, no salieron de ahí. Pero, en el última arca de la historia profundizaron mucho más sobre el Metal (la matrix/internet/red), control climatológico y su efecto en el mundo: el orden mundial (o era earth order? meh, el nombre no importa).</p>
<p>Y qué bueno que en el final hayan tratado de explicar muchas de las cosas que no entendía a lo largo de la serie, como los ciber-cerebros, la apariencia de Kushima y la relación de la isla artificial, The Metal y el mundo&#8230; Pero bueno, la idea de que el poder del oceano puede rejuvenecer a una persona vieja para que ya no tuviera tantos problemas legales y de otra índole con su love interest me parecio&#8230; no una buena idea&#8230; no lo se, no me gusto&#8230; tal vez por las implicaciones que tendría al agregarle conocimiento del mundo 3D, pero creo que mejor recordare las sabias palabras de Don Nagai : &#8220;Es anime, no tiene que tener sentido&#8221;.</p>
<p>Para finalizar, esta serie la tienes que ver. Porqué? Porque fue una de mis favoritas. Esa debe ser razón suficiente, no? Y si no es razón suficiente, es Sci-Fi&#8230; todos amamos la ciencia ficción, no? Vamos, no tiene que tener mechas o ser sunrise para que sea ciencia ficción&#8230;</p>
<p>Casshern SINS</p>
<div id="attachment_2321" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/pimp.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2321" title="Pimp" src="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/pimp.jpg?w=300" alt="Pimp" width="300" height="159" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Robopimp</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Ah, Casshern&#8230; tu que fuiste el número uno en aquella lista del 2008. Tu animación casi perfecta provenida de Madhouse, con tus tonos de melancolía y depresión revueltos en peleas de robots&#8230; qué podría salir mal?</p>
<p>Que podría salir mal&#8230; Pues, al igual que con Shikabane Hime, hubo momentos en que me decía a mi mismo &#8220;cuando carajos va a avanzar la historia?&#8221; y de personajes que me hubiera gustado que salieran de nuevo pero que fueron olvidados&#8230; carajo, cuando retome esta serie me quede dormido al terminar de ver un capítulo&#8230; y eso dice malas cosas del pace que tenia la serie&#8230;</p>
<p>Pero bueno, la historia avanzaba, Casshern se acercaba cada vez más a Luna, y hasta encontraron la fuente que podría detener el óxido; la cual Oji iba a estudiar (recuerden bien esta parte). Y, al momento de llegar al lugar destinado, se encontraron con que Luna no era como era antes&#8230; ahora despreciaba a la muerte, a tal grado de que no le daba la &#8220;salvación&#8221; a los robots que tuvieran un óxido avanzado. Había perdido Luna algo de su personalidad al morir?</p>
<p>Casshern se negaba a creer en la nueva Luna, al igual que Lyuze y Ringo&#8230; Pero, de la nada Oji llega a ese lugar. Habra terminado de investigar el material? NO. Se olvidaron completamente de ese evento. El quería que Ringo reciviera la salvación de Luna, pero al ver la negación de ella decidio aceptar su decisión.</p>
<p>Y bueno, después de una serie de eventos (la pelea final de Dio y Casshern, la destrucción de Leda a manos de Luna),  Casshern decide irse practicamente al &#8220;exilio&#8221; con Lyuze y companía mientras que Luna y Braiking Boss construyen su edén de robots inmortales.</p>
<p>Pero, tras la muerte de Lyuze, Casshern comprende al fin la finalidad del óxido, y visita una vez más a Luna. Tras su enfrentamiento con B.Boss, le da una espantada a Luna para que no se olvidara de la importancia de la muerte, pero que debería seguir dando la salvación a los robots que la quieran&#8230; pero, no debería volver a intentar construir ese eden de inmortalidad porque si no, regresaría&#8230; mientras que Luna representaría la vida, Casshern sería la muerte&#8230;</p>
<p>Y, los meses pasan&#8230; no hay signos de Casshern, y nos encontramos con una adulta Ringo en un campo verde esperando su regreso&#8230;</p>
<p>Bueno, como veran de mi no tan buen resumen del final, dejaron muchas arcas inconclusas. Para empezar, la shiny stone (no recuerdo bien su nombre). Oji dijo &#8220;yo me quedare a estudiarla y sacarle provecho&#8221;&#8230; para después regresar y casi casi decirnos en la cara &#8220;piedras preciosas mis hue&#8230;&#8221; porque nunca se menciono nada de ese asunto. Primer no mames.</p>
<p>Después, esta Ringo. Algo que no mencione fue que Leda fue un proyecto en el cual buscaban que los robots pudieran tener hijos&#8230; proyecto que fracaso brutalmente. Aunque, cuando Leda y Ringo se encontraron, Leda la reconocio no como Ringo, si no como algo ligado a su pasado&#8230; Y bueno, al ver a Ringo adulta, podemos notar su parecido a Leda y algo obvio pero escencial: creció. Sí, ella era un robot al que le afecaba el óxido. Pero, sangraba. Y creció. Habrá sido ella la hija de Leda? El resultado del proyecto? No lo sabemos&#8230; Lo único que pude ver fue que la más facil interpretación y sin darle muchas busquedas ni caer en plot holes es que ella representa el futuro de la tierra, representa la regeneración, la evolución de un mundo muerto.</p>
<p>Casshern SINS es una serie que tienes que tomar con cuidado. No debes dejarte llevar por la acción que te dan&#8230; ni por la historia, ni por el tono gris ni nada de eso&#8230; El problema de Casshern SINS es que tuvo un buen concepto, pero no lo pudieron aprovechar al máximo, ni presentarlo de una buena forma. Los personajes de un episodio que prometían volver, los hoyos en la historia que jamás seran tapados&#8230; Parece que la producción no fijo bien sus tiempos y se vio muy apresurada al final&#8230; Sí, ese fue el problema en Casshern SINS. La falta y el malgasto de tiempo. Pero sigo firme en mi decisión de nombrarla Top 1 del 2008. No me retractare de esa opinión&#8230; a menos de que le de edit a ese post y ponga a SUNRED.</p>
<p>Ga-Rei ZERO</p>
<div id="attachment_2322" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 201px"><a href="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/yumitokagura.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2322" title="YumitoKagura" src="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/yumitokagura.jpg?w=191" alt="YumitoKagura" width="191" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Hot yuri pocky demon killing action</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Ga-Rei ZERO fue malinterpretada por su servidor&#8230; más que nada porque no sabía nada de la franquicia. Tarde tiempo en entender que esta serie se trataba de una pre-sequela del manga, pero eso me ayudo a disfrutar más la serie. Porqué? Es algo simple. Cuando ves una serie basada en un manga, hay cierta probabilidad de que ese manga ya lo hayas visto, y si lo has visto hay otra probabilidad de que este ya haya terminado y tu también lo hayas terminado de leer. Así que, a menos de que realicen un spin-off, es muy probable que lo que veas en el anime ya lo hayas visto. Es como cuando vi DMC, ya sabía lo que iba a suceder&#8230; eso le quita un poco de emoción y/o entretenimiento al anime (DMC es un caso especial&#8230; DMC aumenta su epicness de manera exponencial las veces que veas la serie).</p>
<p>Ga-Rei ZERO trato del pasado de Kagura, la principal del manga&#8230; Y en el manga, su pasado de había visto un poco, pero no de la forma tan detallada con la que se expuso en el anime. Nos muestran su relación con Kagura, y como Kagura cae al lado oscuro&#8230; Y al final, nos dejan con un tease del manga&#8230; y abre una posibilidad de que ya anden trabajando en la animación de este.</p>
<p>Así que, hablando de si me gusto GR Z o si es recomendable&#8230; diría que es como la forma en que veo Index o Shikabane o Shana&#8230; es otra serie de magia/sobrenatural&#8230; es dificil que haya un nuevo aporte al género debido a los tiempos en que vivimos (es más fácil encontrarle a una serie &#8220;hey, se parece a esta&#8221;)&#8230; Sí, tal vez me estaré comportando como un editor de ANN, pero saben que es una verdad&#8230; Pero, a la **** las reglas, Ga-Rei me gustó. No importa si fue por sus personajes, o por las habilidades que presentaron, o por las espadas, o por la hot yuri pocky action&#8230; Ga-Rei me gusto.</p>
<p>Index</p>
<div id="attachment_2323" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/index.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2323" title="Index" src="http://otakujanai.wordpress.com/files/2009/06/index.jpg?w=300" alt="Index" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Now with 10% more moe</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>Heh, Index me gusto tanto que casi se me olvida ponerla en este post&#8230; Nah, se me olvido por razones completamente razonables&#8230; en fin, dejando los comentarios atrás, Index fue una buena atracción&#8230; No se sí ustedes hacen lo mismo, pero yo de alguna manera junto esta serie con otras 2: Zero y Shana. Las 3 tienen de principales a un personaje con un poder oculto y una loli que de una u otra manera tiene gran importancia dentro del setting de la serie. Y bueno, tambien tienen el mismo estudio de animación y provienen de light novels&#8230; Pero, mientras una se centra en harem/ecchi (Zero) y otra en acción (Shana), a Index le dieron más importancia el factor moe. O eso es lo que pude ver&#8230;</p>
<p>Index fue una buena serie de magía/fantasía (o como sea que se llamen ese tipo de series)&#8230; pero la sobrecarga de personajes a veces no le ayuda&#8230; Y de cierta forma se tardaban demasiado en avanzar la historia&#8230; en especial al inicio de los capitulos, donde nos daban el recap de toda la maldita serie&#8230; y arcas que se podían terminar en 3 caps tardaron casí el doble. Pero bueno, sé que la serie aún no ha llegado a su final ya que faltan muchas cosas por salir&#8230; pero bueno, eso tendra que esperar porque saldra primero la serie que protagoniza <em>Biri-Biri&#8230;</em><em> </em></p>
<p>===</p>
<p>Sí, mentí. Si va a haber random rant. No se sí ya pasaron las 3-4 semanas, así que si pasaron, no me falle a mi mismo, estoy en el ritmo xD&#8230; Meh, se que tengo que mejorar mi &#8220;ritmo blogero&#8221;, ya que ya han pasado varias noticias que me las ha ganado un bloger más responsable, pero creo que cada blog necesita un tipo de personaje blogero para estar completo&#8230;</p>
<p>Pero, sí aún así quieren alguna otra noticia, les puedo decir que:</p>
<ul>
<li>Sigo jugando SRWZ a pesar de ir en la 4 corrida.</li>
<li>El boxset completo de Aquarion saldra el 06/09/09, lo que me salva de comprar las cajas de las &#8220;2 temporadas&#8221;.</li>
<li>Parece que FUNimation quiere convertirse en Epic Fail&#8230;</li>
<li>Mi segunda batch de plamos ya fue planificada: Turn A Gundam, Bilbine y Dunbine. Espero no encontrarme con sorpresas como con el Iron Gear.</li>
<li>Walker Gallia se ve muy bien armado completamente&#8230; lástima que no tengo los skillz suficientes para comprarme el set de pintura para darle un mejor acabado&#8230; y bueno, pintar también el Iron Gear &#62;.&#60;</li>
<li>Esto alegro y disgusto mi dia al mismo tiempo (porque? no es OG3 pero&#8230; it&#8217;s cute):</li>

<description><![CDATA[“Real Drive” (RD 潜脳調査室 Sennou Chousashitsu) is an anime series originally spawned by Masamune Shirow]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://www.ntv.co.jp/RD/" target="_blank">“Real Drive” (RD 潜脳調査室 Sennou Chousashitsu)</a> is an anime series originally spawned by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masamune_Shirow" target="_blank">Masamune Shirow</a> of “Ghost In The Shell” fame. </p>
<p>Both series share several common interesting themes. Like “Ghost In The Shell”, “Real Drive” takes place in a futuristic society with advanced technology where humans, androids, nearly everyone and everything is linked through a global virtual network.<br />
In “Real Drive” this cyberworld is called the &#8216;meta real network&#8217; or simply &#8216;the metal&#8217;, it is usually portrayed as an immense ocean of sorts, sharing similar traits to the earth&#8217;s seas. A trademark element of “Real Drive” is this celebration of the sea and aquatic life.</p>
<p><img src="http://bluebluewave.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/r_rd_01.png" alt="Cyberworld of RD Real Drive" title="r_rd_01" width="550" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-817" /></p>
<p>In typical Masamune Shirow style an intricate plot rife with mysteries and philosophical pondering comes together to bring the story to where it forms a bridge between the digital world and nature, a more novel approach that elevates this series a bit more above average. </p>
<p>The full title of the series seems to mean something akin to &#8216;room where inquiry into the human consciousness is done&#8217;, which references not only to the &#8216;meta real&#8217; network that links humans to each other and the overarching network, but also the voyage the characters undertake into understanding humanity and our planet&#8217;s nature.<br />
<!--more--><br />
“Real Drive” differs from “Ghost In The Shell” which paints a more grim picture of mankind&#8217;s future and is a series filled with espionage, political intrigue and action. By largely lacking those genre and plot elements, “Real Drive” is able to take on a different approach on themes like cybernetics, artificial intelligence, what it means to be human and how humans interact among themselves and with artificial beings.</p>
<p>This is most evident in Holon, the android meant to support Haru who slowly seems to develop a personality of her own and starts to cross the bridge to what it means at its core to be human. We&#8217;re also shown how Holon&#8217;s growth affects those around her, especially Souta, who in time no longer sees Holon as an android but comes to regard her as a real woman he eventually develops feelings for.<br />
Not only does it raise questions as to what it means to be alive and human, it makes implications as to how machines with artificial intelligence can gain self awareness and evolve into something akin to being human.</p>
<p>Next to artificial intelligence the extensive use of cybernetics and most people having cyberbrains (through injection with nanomachines at an early age) is commonplace in the era of “Real Drive”.<br />
These aspects are also quite satisfyingly explored, such as in the episode about Amy, a girl born blind who receives cybernetic eye implants but has trouble adjusting to this new world where she can now see. Amy&#8217;s experience also ties nicely to Minamo&#8217;s, as Minamo is also considered different, having no cyberbrain like the others.</p>
<p><img src="http://bluebluewave.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/r_rd_02.png" alt="Cast of RD Real Drive" title="r_rd_02" width="550" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-818" /></p>
<p>Throughout the series we see the female lead Minamo blossom from a school girl into a young adult, yet she retains her uplifting spirit and natural positiveness that makes her stand out compared to the other characters.<br />
Being the only one without a cyberbrain, Minamo provides us with the refreshingly different view of how a completely natural, unaltered person sees the world of “Real Drive” and how she interacts with its people who are continuously connected to everyone else with their cyberbrains through that global virtual network, something which she cannot experience in the same way. </p>
<p>That Minamo is the positive ray of light, emanating a continuous spark of joy and hope among everyone could be interpreted that in such a cybernetic world where networks connect everything, real spontaneity, hope and positiveness is something lost when being wholly natural and our link to nature is replaced by the link to a cyberworld.</p>
<p>Minamo&#8217;s growing attachment to the elder Haru is well paced and expertly written, as the series progresses she is clearly feeling affection for Haru but it never is explicitly hinted at being something that could be considered inappropriate due to their incredibly age gap.<br />
Rather, even though she has no cyberbrain Minamo sees something inside Haru, feelings only reinforced by the fact he becomes a source of inspiration to her that spurs her on to grow and mature. </p>
<p>Nonetheless, Haru is never portrayed as a surrogate (grand)father to Minamo. When all of the characters start to move onto their own paths as the series progresses and Haru once again regains the ability to walk, even though she supports him, Minamo is clearly torn inside at being separated from him. </p>
<p>The short epilogue after the final episode ending credits does offer a scene that can be interpreted as a happy conclusion with implied romantic love. Miraculously rejuvenated by the power of the sea and the &#8216;metal&#8217;, the once again young Haru and Minamo find each other when she spots him at the beach emerging from his last dive. Minamo runs into the water towards Haru to what seems like a heartfelt embrace. </p>
<p>In that aspect it was similar to the epilogue of “Kanazuki No Miko”, where years later on a crowded street crossing Himeko and the reincarnated Chikane find each other by chance and are at last reunited.<br />
One could say it&#8217;s a bit far fetched or sugar-coated with Haru being young again and Minamo finding him like that by chance, but in a series that is as a whole more positive and upbeat than Shirow&#8217;s other works I think it&#8217;s a fitting scene.</p>
<p><img src="http://bluebluewave.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/r_rd_03.png" alt="A cute Minamo from RD Real Drive" title="r_rd_03" width="550" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-819" /></p>
<p>Haru was another interesting character, not only due to his intricate bond with Minamo, but also due to his unique view on their world. Not only were we offered a different angle with the all natural Minamo, but Haru due to his age and background also had quite an interesting view on the &#8216;metal&#8217; network and the world of “Real Drive”.</p>
<p>The first episode shows us how a young Haru, who is a genuine sea diver with a deeply felt connection to nature, he is involved in a life threatening accident and spends the next decades bedridden in a hospital. Implanted with a cyberbrain while in coma, Haru awakens to a world that is completely different.<br />
Where before he had stood at the eve of change, he now awakens to a world where so much time has passed it&#8217;s almost become unrecognisable to him.</p>
<p>Unable to walk or make great physical efforts at first, the &#8216;metal&#8217; offers him an entire world he can dive and explore in and where his intuitiveness serves him well.<br />
Haru&#8217;s outlook on the events in “Real Drive” prove as interesting as Minamo&#8217;s and offer two unique perspectives on that world that does differ of how the regular people that live inside it see everything. </p>
<p>Another interesting view of the future shown in “Real Drive” are the Aoi family dynamics.<br />
Minamo&#8217;s parents are both prominent researchers who spend most of their time working away from home. While this leaves Minamo in the care of her brother Souta we do see that while all family members have very independent lives, they immediately feel as a tightly knit family group the moment they meet again because they are always connected and in touch through the &#8216;metal&#8217; network or other modern means of communication.<br />
Perhaps this is where our society is fast heading to? </p>
<p><img src="http://bluebluewave.wordpress.com/files/2009/03/r_rd_04.png" alt="Who Minamo holds dear" title="r_rd_04" width="550" height="150" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-820" /></p>
<p>“Real Drive” is  animated in Production IG&#8217;s typical style, with a good blend of 2D animation and 3D effects, especially the cyberworld and lush nature scenes of the ocean and tropical island are very well animated and a visual treat.</p>
<p>A remarkable difference compared to other series or projects done by Production IG or Masamune Shirow is the visual style of the female characters. All women, including the younger girls like Minamo look strikingly different compared to other anime series where most females receive idealized yet physically disproportionate bodies.<br />
In “Real Drive” they are not unhealthily thin or combining very large bosoms with tiny abdomens but they are all shapely, even plump. One could almost have the impression of watching women with shapes inspired by the paintings of Rubens. </p>
<p>Regardless, while we may think female characters like Minamo are plump, they are in fact realistically rendered when compared to real life female anatomical proportions. This is clear when seeing Minamo&#8217;s friend Yukino, who is a plump young girl and one can&#8217;t help but applaud Production IG in animating her so realistically and spot on.<br />
Surely it will not be to all of the viewers taste, especially considering the style breach compared to the majority of the other anime series out there, but I can appreciate this different design and realistic animation effort.</p>
<p>Production IG is also one of the few animation studios that can render realistic elder characters, Haru looks believable and authentic as an elder person and not like some sort of failed caricature.<br />
Animation quality throughout the series remains high, so viewers will be in for a treat.</p>
<p>The soundtrack of “Real Drive” is quite good, with opening and closing themes in hard rock music style, quite the difference from the electronic music and chants from “Ghost In The Shell”.<br />
The other background music serves its role well of accentuating what happens on screen, from helping build suspense, a sense of urgency, drama to offering more relaxing tunes.</p>
<p>Though the soundtrack created by Hideki Taniuchi and Yoshishisa Hirano is quite good and values being enjoyed and listened to in its own, it does not quite reach the same level as the soundtracks made by Kenji Kawai for the “Ghost In The Shell” movies or those made by Yoko Kanno for the “Ghost In The Shell: Stand-Alone Complex” series.<br />
But it remains a solid soundtrack that can be a nice addition to anyone&#8217;s soundtrack collection. </p>
<p>Fans of Masamune Shirow&#8217;s work will certainly enjoy “Real Drive”, although the atmosphere clearly differs from his usual work.<br />
Those that are looking to watch a more intriguing show that is more out of the ordinary and intelligent than the average anime series, I would certainly recommend giving “Real Drive” a try. </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/PJZBKkjYaCc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/PJZBKkjYaCc&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>You know it’s pretty odd when you already watched two episodes and you pretty much understand the premise already.  I.G. “ALWAYS” produces great animation, though it could be taken as a negative when you have a Seventy year old man-service scene in the first episode.  I think on a personal note that the series is quite descriptive and each one of the characters has their own set of unique personalities and traits.  It does have a very cool post GiTs feel for it, oddly enough IMO anyway. </p>
<p>Plot Summary: Real Drive is a &#8220;Cyber Fiction/suspense&#8221; story is set in circa 2061, when a newly designed and secure information matrix called the Material Network (or &#8220;Metal&#8221;) reigns over human society. Suddenly, glitches begin to pop up as bugs in the machine? (Giggle) against the secured system, and then &#8220;cyber-divers&#8221; are sent out to investigate these issues. The team/cast consists of the following; the cyber driver Mari, an &#8220;intuitive girl&#8221; named Minamo, the team&#8217;s lead Eiichirō, the combat expert Sōta, and accompanying them is the android Horon, always have to have a droid involved. </p>
<p>Overall, I have to admit I am impressed and enjoying this series. I am seriously considering following this series to the last episode itself. The character design was well thought out, as well as the story backline/history. Then again this is I.G. Productions assisting with this, so is it any wonder that it’s as good if not slightly better than Ghost in the shell</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p style="text-align:center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong><a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=8941"><img class="size-full wp-image-3 aligncenter" title="Real Drive" src="http://animereviewers.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/ishot-1.jpg" alt="Real Drive" width="553" height="288" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Japanese Name</strong> &#8211; RD Senno Chosashitsu</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Animation Production</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/company.php?id=337">Production I.G</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Director </strong>- <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=36">Kazuhiro Furuhashi</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Original Creator</strong> &#8211; <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2993">Masamune Shirow</a></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Screenplay</strong>- <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=45420">Junichi Fujisaku</a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">This anime is a collaboration of the big guns in the Japanese animation industry. It continues the team up of Production I.G. and Masamune Shirow with director Kazuhiro Furuhashi who has directed many popular works such as <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=73">Rurouni Kenshin</a>, <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=210">Samurai X Trust and Betrayal</a>, <a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1840">Getbackers</a> and L<a href="http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6536">e Chevalier D&#8217;Eon</a>.</p>
<p>We are presented with a future (2061) where society is connected through a network, the Meta Real ( the Metal). &#8220;<span><em>The Metal accommodated personal memory data within protected virtual stand-alone organic cyber enclaves called bubble shells and eventually pervaded the everyday lives of people.</em>&#8221; </span>Like Shirow&#8217;s previous works there is considerable depth in these concepts, in particular I enjoyed the exploration of cyber augmentations and androids.</p>
<p>We follow Minamo Aoi, a high school girl, who becomes a caretaker for Masamichi Haru. Haru has been in a coma for the past 50 years and continues his work as a cyber diver investigating problems that are increasingly occurring in the metal. The show deals with these problems concerning the Metal with individual cases along with an overriding plot-line. It is set on an island making it refreshing and colourful but not so much that is takes away from the realism of it&#8217;s characters and environment. </p>
<p>This is a recommended show to fans of Shirow&#8217;s other works but do not expect it to be close in quality to the Ghost in the Shell TV series. </p>

<description><![CDATA[I finally finished the second half of this series after putting it on hold from the summer.  Real Dr]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/2hCiTyzGTKY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/2hCiTyzGTKY&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>I finally finished the second half of this series after putting it on hold from the summer.  Real Drive has a lot of stand-alone episodes and techno-babble that glazes your eyes over if you watch a lot of it in a short period of time.  However, the final half is very well done and I&#8217;m glad that I came back around to watch it.  For those unfamiliar with the plot: Real Drive is a sci-fi drama by Production I.G that&#8217;s set in the mildly distant future in which humans have created a technological network called the Metal.  In this network, people can enter a world that satisfies their deepest desires and wants.  At the same time, scientists are pushing the Metal to extents that rival the power of nature.  I made a short little promo that showcases some of the anime&#8217;s characters and animation (see above video, go to Ytube page for higher quality).</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-556" title="1396226" src="http://expoexpo.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/1396226.gif" alt="1396226" width="350" height="420" /></p>
<p>There really isn&#8217;t just one protagonist in Real Drive: it&#8217;s more about the interactions and growth that the characters achieve through one another.  Haru Masamichi and Kushima Eiichirou start off the plot as they do research in the ocean waters near the under-construction Artificial Island.  Haru is an expert diver who can reach depths that most normal humans can&#8217;t and Kushima is a brilliant researcher who&#8217;s trying to find out what exactly the &#8220;Earth&#8217;s Biorhythm&#8221; is.  Unfortunately, something sets off the Biorhythm and an injured Haru falls into a deep coma for several decades.  When he finally awakens, he&#8217;s 82 years old and unable to walk, let alone dive.  Kushima is still around due to acquiring a prosthetic body, and he believes that Haru could still be able to dive through the virtual world of the Metal.  However, Haru has lost his confidence and wants nothing to do with the experiments.  It&#8217;s not until a young teenage girl named Minamo appears that Haru realizes that there&#8217;s still more that he&#8217;s capable of achieving.  Several others join the three in their work, including Holon the android and Minamo&#8217;s brother and expert fighter, Sota.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-553" title="1142188" src="http://expoexpo.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/1142188.jpg" alt="1142188" width="500" height="322" /></p>
<p>Real Drive&#8217;s animation certainly is eye candy most of the time, but there are moments where you can tell the budget gets strained.  Though I can&#8217;t really complain, because most of the scenes in the Metal are done through CG.  Some people will be quick to complain about the character design of many of the female characters.  Anime fans have been trained to idolize stick thin girls, so it can be somewhat of a shock to see curvy, shapely women.  I think it&#8217;s cool that they&#8217;re more realistic, but Minamo and Yukino can get a little old when they complain that they might get fat.  Especially Yukino since she&#8217;s <em>constantly</em> shoving parfaits in her mouth.  Anyhow, the music also adds a nice effect to the show, and I love how they use Paganini&#8217;s Theme for a couple of the songs.</p>
<p><strong>The End &#8211; Spoilers Ahead &#8211; BEWARE~</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-555" title="1213701531463" src="http://expoexpo.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/1213701531463.jpg" alt="1213701531463" width="400" height="300" /></strong></p>
<p>RD&#8217;s final arc is pretty satsifying and everyone pretty much came out with a &#8220;Good End&#8221; situation.  That&#8217;s not to say that some escape a bittersweet ending.  Kushima still ends up passing away (although it&#8217;s his choice) and I feel like Sota made the wrong decision.  After the jungle episodes, I was actually starting to pull for the Sota/Holon pairing because she really was becoming more like a human.  Then she lost her memory and the Secretary General actually became a likeable person.  It just seems more like a matter of when, not if, Holon will lose her memory again and Sota&#8217;s only going to have his heart broken again.  The SG was obviously still deeply in love with him and she would have changed her attitude for him.  It&#8217;s just a bigger punch to the face for her since Holon&#8217;s appearance was modeled after her.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-554" title="47aa0ec5c01b70077dbd27f697871d3f" src="http://expoexpo.wordpress.com/files/2009/01/47aa0ec5c01b70077dbd27f697871d3f.jpg" alt="47aa0ec5c01b70077dbd27f697871d3f" width="350" height="595" /></p>
<p>On the other side of things, Haru was just full of lolridiculous moments.  I can deal with the fact that he was able to walk again like a feebly old man, but running around doing laps like a 20 year old is unbelievable.  It&#8217;d be one thing if he had prosthetics, but he didn&#8217;t.  It also surprised me that the writers seriously went down the path of Haru and Minamo falling in love.  I figured it&#8217;d be one of those situations where they tease at the possibility, but never actually act on the idea.  Of course they dodge the &#8220;ewww, old man sex&#8221; comments by finding a way to magically reverse Haru&#8217;s age back to 20 something so he and Minamo can have babies and grow old together.  As funny as the concept is, I&#8217;m not one to complain since it means one last shot of Young Haru and his fine ass.</p>

<description><![CDATA[SUNRISE LULZ You see, Sunrise has so many things worth LOLing/lulz that they demand their own sectio]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong>SUNRISE LULZ</strong></p>
<p>You see, Sunrise has so many things worth LOLing/lulz that they demand their own section.</p>
<p><strong>Most lulz-worthy: Code Geass R2</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-368" title="code geass lulz" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_01.jpg" alt="code geass lulz" width="400" height="225" /><br />
The first season of Code Geass was my pick for the best series of 2007.  R2 gets an infamy award.  The constant rewrites and terrible pacing made the jokes like &#8220;I&#8217;M POSTING THIS EVERY DAY UNTIL KALLEN IS RELEASED&#8221; made it so that there was only a window of 0.04 seconds when I was able to take the show the least bit seriously and enjoy it non-ironically.  And while this is the Sunrise lulz category, this show wins overall, Sunrise or non-Sunrise.</p>
<p><!--more--><strong>Best trap: Tieria</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-369" title="mmmm, delicious trap tieria" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_02.jpg" alt="2008_02" width="400" height="225" /><br />
I mean, everyone joked in the first season about how he was really the prettiest girl in the show, but I didn&#8217;t expect Sunrise to actually take us up on it.</p>
<p><strong>Best sidekick: Asshole Haro</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-370" title="haro from gundam 00 being a douchebag" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_03.jpg" alt="2008_03" width="400" height="225" /><br />
Personally, I really don&#8217;t care too much about the Haros in Gundam.  Nina&#8217;s asshole Haro, however warmed my heart with its bad attitude, profanity, and penchant for smashing other Haros until they broke.</p>
<p><strong>Best implied yaoi scene in a non-yaoi series: Tieria slaps Saji</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-415" title="tieria slaps saji" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/tieria_slaps_saji.jpg" alt="tieria slaps saji" width="400" height="225" /><br />
Just look at the look on Tieria&#8217;s face!  This scene wouldn&#8217;t be out of place in Junjou Romantica.  Ikanaide!</p>
<p><strong>Worst yaoi-killing moment: Nina kisses Setsuna</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-372" title="nina kissing setsuna from gundam 00" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_05.jpg" alt="nina kissing setsuna from gundam 00" width="400" height="225" /><br />
WTF HOW DARE THAT BITCH TRY TO STEAL SETSUNA AWAY FROM THE OTHER HUNKY MEISTERS!</p>
<p><strong>Best doujinshi: Zero wa Ore ga Mamoru!</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-373" title="code geass yaoi doujin" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_06.jpg" alt="code geass yaoi doujin" width="400" height="565" /><br />
Who cares if I haven&#8217;t read it.  Just look at Lulu&#8217;s face!  Sooooo kawaii desu kyaaah!</p>
<p><strong>The Straight Cougar Memorial Award for most ridiculous Sunrise character name: Mister Bushido</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-374" title="mister bushido from gundam 00" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_07.jpg" alt="mister bushido from gundam 00" width="400" height="216" /><br />
The irony here is that Graham Acre had one of the few non-ridiculous names in Gundam 00 during the first season.</p>
<p><strong>HALL OF SHAME:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best argument for watching anime on Nico Nico: Rosario + Vampire</strong></p>
<p>This show was absolute garbage.  There was next to no attempt to actually follow the story causing plot holes a-plenty.  It did, however have lots of boobs and panties.  The Nico chuus pounced on this one and their MST3K-ing of the show turned it from unwatchable to hillarious.  Alas, such a golden age can not remain.  And that&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t have a picture or video to use</p>
<p><strong>Worst Legend of the Galactic Heroes spinoff: Antique Bakery</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-375" title="legend of the galactic heroes antique bakery yaoi" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_08.jpg" alt="legend of the galactic heroes antique bakery yaoi" width="400" height="300" /><br />
Oh wait, this cap <em>is</em> from Legend of the Galactic Heroes</p>
<p><strong>Campiest moment: OTOUTO-KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-376" title="da capo 2 otome shit sucks" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_09.jpg" alt="da capo 2 otome shit sucks" width="400" height="225" /><br />
I personally go with the Sontag-ian definition for camp as &#8220;failed seriousness&#8221;.  Da Crapo represents everything that makes me roll my eyes at bishoujo games and moe girls and siscon and the ilk.  My post about the first episode of Da Crapo 2 S1 was one of the more contempt-filled episode summaries that I&#8217;ve ever done.  I just cannot get into the sort of viewing mindset that you need to take these shows seriously, and even more so when they try to be serious and emotional—and nothing meant to be serious made me laugh so hard as this would-be tearful moment.</p>
<p><strong>Worst sex scenes and &#8220;best&#8221; conflation of violence and sexuality: Golgo 13</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-377" title="golgo 13 censored sex scene" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_10.jpg" alt="golgo 13 censored sex scene" width="400" height="225" /><br />
Since there wasn&#8217;t any conflation of mecha and sexuality that was anywhere close to last year&#8217;s one-two punch of Idolmaster and Gurren Lagann, I&#8217;m changing &#8220;mecha&#8221; to &#8220;violence&#8221;.</p>
<p>And to be more specific with the sex scene part, I mean every one in the show.</p>
<p><strong>Most damaging stain to the Gundam franchise: World Destruction</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-378" title="world destruction pedobears-kuma" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_11.jpg" alt="world destruction pedobears-kuma" width="400" height="228" /><br />
Because of the fact that Tohru Furuya and Shuuichi Ikeda play bear furry brothers that end their sentences with &#8220;-kuma&#8221; and &#8220;-bear&#8221;, respectively, every time I hear them say something from a UC Gundam, I kept mentally filling in the ending in my head.  &#8220;Even my own father didn&#8217;t hit me-kuma!&#8221; &#8220;Why must we fight amongst ourselves and further pollute the Earth-bear?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Gundam Seed Destiny Memorial Award for the series that could&#8217;ve been best improved if I had written it: Tower of Druaga</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-379" title="tower of druaga episode 1" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_12.jpg" alt="tower of druaga episode 1" width="400" height="225" /><br />
The first episode of Druaga was kind of awesome.  It was not the way that the rest of the series would be.  I was really hoping tha tthe rest of the show would be about the characters playing the MMO, rather than giving the MMO a story.</p>
<p><strong>Biggest sequel dropoff: Nodame Cantabile S2</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-380" title="nodame cantabile paris chapter" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_13.jpg" alt="nodame cantabile paris chapter" width="400" height="225" /><br />
Nodame Cantabile was one of the better shows in 2007.  This season took away almost everything that was good about it.  Most of the characters are gone, the story cuts out so much material that there is no flow whatsoever to it, and the shortened season length makes it impossible for JC Staff to do things like devote half of an episode to an orchestra recital of some piece from the Legend of the Galactic Heroes soundtrack.</p>
<p>Like, look at this cap.  There&#8217;s Franck.  I mean, he lives with Chiaki, Nodame, and Tanya, but he just drops off the face of the earth after a few episodes.</p>
<p><strong>Worst name: Mnemosyne: Daughters of Mnemosyne</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-381" title="mnemosyne" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_14.jpg" alt="mnemosyne" width="400" height="273" /><br />
It&#8217;s not the &#8220;Mnemosyne&#8221; part that&#8217;s bad.  There&#8217;s nothing more or less pretenious about that name than lots of anime names.  The reason that it gets this dubious award is because the full title is &#8220;Mnemosyne: Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi&#8221;, which is the most redundant title since &#8220;Manos: The Hands of Fate&#8221;.</p>
<p><strong>Worst series of the year: Kanokon</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-382" title="kouta licking chizuru's asshole in kanokon" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_15.jpg" alt="kouta licking chizuru's asshole in kanokon" width="400" height="225" /><br />
This is one of the only series on MAL that I have ever given a 1 to.  It was neither funny nor arousing and almost insultingly stupid.</p>
<p><strong>FANSERVICE:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Most necessary fanservice element: Code Geass R2 features a shot of Kallen&#8217;s bent-over ass every episode for the first eight or so episodes</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-383" title="kallen's ass from code geass r2" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_16.jpg" alt="kallen's ass from code geass r2" width="400" height="225" /><br />
The series just wasn&#8217;t the same once she got captured and there was no more excuse for her to stick her ass into the (fish-eye lens) camera like that.  Furthermore, the scene was all the more lulz-worthy because it BLATANTLY disregarded canon (not to be confused with that Kanon guy) because CC is the <a href="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_17.jpg" target="_blank">designated ass-related fanservice character.</a></p>
<p><strong>Best boobchomp: Rosario + Vampire</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-385" title="rosario + vampire boobchomp" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_18.jpg" alt="rosario + vampire boobchomp" width="400" height="225" /><br />
OM NOM NOM NOM</p>
<p><strong>Most annoying fanservice trend: Overboard censorship to sell de-censored DVDs</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-386" title="rosario + vampire capu2 censorship" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_19.jpg" alt="rosario + vampire capu2 censorship" width="400" height="224" /><br />
Now, I don&#8217;t have anything against the concept of uncensored DVDs.  My beef is with the ridiculous extremes that it&#8217;s gotten to.  If you&#8217;re going to put a big fat censor mark over almost the entire frame, just release the damn thing as an OVA and spare us the TV broadcast dechuuuuu.</p>
<p><strong>Most surprisingly porny spinoff: The Kimi Kiss manga</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-387" title="kimi kiss various heroines manga" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_20.jpg" alt="kimi kiss various heroines manga" width="400" height="577" /><br />
I mean, dayamn.</p>
<p><strong>Most Rubenesque ladies: Real Drive</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-388" title="real drive fatties" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_21.jpg" alt="real drive fatties" width="400" height="259" /><br />
The looser the waistband/the deeper the quicksand, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Most ridiculous boobage: Tsukasa in Akane-iro no Somaru Saka</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-389" title="tsukasa's boobs from akane-iro no somaru saka" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_22.jpg" alt="tsukasa's boobs from akane-iro no somaru saka" width="400" height="444" /><br />
Huge isn&#8217;t good enough.  There were tons of fanservice anime with giant boobs that were funny rather than arousing this year, like the giant boobs in Sekirei that made the characters look like cubes (which I wish I could post an example of but I don&#8217;t want any blatantly NSFW pictures on here).  What pushes Tsukasa over the top is how the animation was often pretty bad, so they would look detached from her body, or jiggle in bizarre ways, or change shapes in ways that are not even remotely physically possible.</p>
<p><strong>AND FINALLY, SOME NON-SARCASTIC AWARDS</strong></p>
<p><strong>Best anything related to music: Macross Frontier</strong></p>
<div><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/nnrkf9JlOvE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/nnrkf9JlOvE&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></div>
<p>For a while, I contemplated whether Macross Frontier or Legend of the Galactic Heroes had the best soundtrack EVAR.  I decided that the easy way to settle the argument is simply to say that Macross Frontier is the best ORIGINAL soundtrack.</p>
<p><strong>Best kawaii loli imouto desu: Mika, The Melancholy of Haruka Nogizaka</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-390" title="mika the kawaii desu loli omouto-chan from haruka nogizaka's secret" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_23.jpg" alt="mika the kawaii desu loli omouto-chan from haruka nogizaka's secret" width="400" height="225" /><br />
Most kawaii loli imouto desu will go around saying stuff like &#8220;Onii-chan?  Onii-chan tteba!  Kyaaaa, onii-chan you perv!&#8221;, then blushes and says &#8220;&#8230;but it&#8217;s OK if it&#8217;s with you, onii-chan!&#8221;  Mika, on the other hand would say &#8220;Onii-chan?  Onii-chan tteba!  Kyaaaa, onii-chan you perv! (blushes)&#8230;but it&#8217;s OK if it&#8217;s with you, onii-chan!  <a href="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_24.jpg" target="_blank">Seriously though, I like you.  Come over to my house and fuck my sister!</a>&#8220;, then would proceed to high-five you during said humping.</p>
<p><strong>Most necessary spinoff for 2009: The Adventures of Lydia-tan Episode 00</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-392" title="lydia from tytania" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_25.jpg" alt="lydia from tytania" width="400" height="226" /><br />
So far, Lydia has always been amusingly out of place in Tytania.  Some dukes will be having a discussion over what time frame for an armed intervention will provide the desired psychological effect of pacifying an unrelated outer planet or something, and then in busts Lydia talking about gelatos and flowers while some hapless, foppish retainer stumbles in behind her saying something like &#8220;YOUR HIGHNESS, it is a grave offense to speak to a Tytanian without adhering to elaborate courtly protocol!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Most necessary merchandising tie-in: Ranka&#8217;s backpack</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-393" title="ranka lee's backpack from macross frontier" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_26.jpg" alt="ranka lee's backpack from macross frontier" width="400" height="225" /><br />
WANT.  Even if it would get me mercilessly made fun of.</p>
<p><strong>The IT&#8217;S OK IF I&#8217;M THE DEVIL Memorial Award for AWESOMENESS: Macross Frontier episode 14</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-394" title="macross frontier episode 14" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_27.jpg" alt="macross frontier episode 14" width="400" height="226" /><br />
You know the drill: space battles, enemies breaking through the final defense line, bridge members spinning around to issue reports, etc.  Also, bonus points for the lulz when Sheryl jumps into a Valkyrie to save the day and is immediately shot down once Iteza Gogo Kuji Don&#8217;t Be Late starts playing to pump everyone up.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.seiyuu3.net/2008/02/23/424/" target="_blank">Most newsworthy seiyuu story: Houkoholic kills Kana Ueda</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.seiyuu3.net/2008/02/23/424/"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-395" title="houkoholic kills kana ueda in halo" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_28.jpg" alt="houkoholic kills kana ueda in halo" width="400" height="225" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Best visual novel adaptation: Kimi Kiss</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-396" title="kimi kiss pure rouge" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_29.jpg" alt="kimi kiss pure rouge" width="400" height="225" /><br />
My main beef with visual novels is how their non-linearity doesn&#8217;t translate well to the linear world of anime.  Kimi Kiss neatly sidesteps this issue with an ingeniously simple solution: pair off the other characters.  Now everyone has something to do and nobody drops off the face of the earth once the three episodes allotted to their storyline are over.</p>
<p><strong>Best shoujo series: Itazura na Kiss</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-397" title="itazura na kiss" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_30.jpg" alt="itazura na kiss" width="400" height="225" /><br />
It sadly had to be the case that this only really happened because the manga-ka died, making the story end, but one of my biggest pet peeves with shoujo is when there is just so much KYAH HE LIKES ME OR DOES HE NO HE DOES WAIT DO I LIKE HIM I THINK SO WAIT DOES HE STILL LIKE ME OH NOES I DON&#8217;T THINK HE DOES RIGHT NOW OH WAIT HE DOES waffling in the story that it eventually gets both stale and unrealistic, since I&#8217;d think that the other person would either stop caring about you (like how I stop caring about you) or come to think that you&#8217;re a crazy flake that should be avoided.  Itazura na Kiss gets that out of the way pretty early and actually like, gives them a relationship.  It also helps when every time Naoki acts like a jackass, Kotoko finds some way to pwn him.</p>
<p><strong>Best shounen series: Soul Eater</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-398" title="soul and blair from soul eater" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_31.jpg" alt="soul and blair from soul eater" width="400" height="225" /><br />
I don&#8217;t really need much out of a shounen series.  You just have to put forth some effort in your stories, your action, and your characters.  Also, it helps when you have BONES doing your animation.  Or when you have Excalibur.  YEAH! PUCKING! PENCIL!</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;Best&#8221; DUDE YOU HAVE TO CHECK OUT THIS AMAZING &#8216;JAPANIMATION&#8217;! IT&#8217;S NOT KID&#8217;S STUFF LIKE DISNEY CARTOONS! and best semen-eating motif: Mnemosyne</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-399" title="rin's huge ass titties from mnemosyne" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_32.jpg" alt="rin's huge ass titties from mnemosyne" width="400" height="273" /><br />
Mnemosyne lets you know right away that this is going to be a very 90s OVA experience.  Not only does the first scene have a women wearing nothing but a mostly-unbuttoned nightshirt getting shot repetedly with a shotgun, but after that sequence we get the subtitle &#8220;SHINJUKU 1990&#8243; to make it crystal-clear what to expect.  Also, the main villain in that episode is a lesbian torture nurse.  Subsequent episodes feature lesbian sex as a prerequisite (every time!) to meeting an informer, gropey vampire/angel things, half-baked biblical/Norse references, incredibly gratuitous violence done because people do not die when hey are killed, and to top it off, the immortal protagonist deciding that the only way to kill a robot is to grab hold of her and jump into a jet engine and then regenerate.  Honestly, if they dropped all the pretentious of being SRS BIZNESS and just went with making the whole thing pulpy and grindehouse-y and lurid, I could be enjoying it for the right reason when I&#8217;m enjoying it for all the wrong reasons.</p>
<p><strong>Best fanservice series: Strike Witches</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-400" title="strike witches erica hartmann has no pants" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_33.jpg" alt="strike witches erica hartmann has no pants" width="400" height="273" /><br />
Yes, I did drop this show once my Bost money ran out, but let&#8217;s face it: it&#8217;s got a parade of fetishes, completely random WWII references, and the simultaneously brilliant and stupid idea of providing constant fanservice by having none of the female characters wear pants.</p>
<p><strong>Best action series: Gundam 00</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-401" title="lockon stratos from gundam 00" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_34.jpg" alt="lockon stratos from gundam 00" width="400" height="225" /><br />
Gundam 00 gets a lot of respect from me for how it manipulated the overpowered Gundam battles.  The first half of the show was almost infuriating because of how the overpowered Gundams robbed any kind of excitement from any of the battles, which really should be one of the focal points of a mecha series.  Fortunately for these 2008 awards, that happened in 2007.  Once 2008 hit, we started to get instances when people finally managed to simply <em>hit</em> a Gundam, which became a cause to celebrate.  This hits its highest point when I was actually pumped when Lockon died because it was such an amazing reversal.</p>
<p><strong>Best sequel: My-Otome Sifr</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-402" title="lena sayers POWER OVERLODING my-otome sifr" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_35.jpg" alt="lena sayers POWER OVERLODING my-otome sifr" width="400" height="226" /><br />
I had really low expectations coming in.  My-Otome was textbook Sunrise trainwreck (although I think that label is a bit unfair since I think with another 13 episodes it could have been better) and My-Otome Zwei was kind of a joke.  Sifr managed to hit the ground running and managed to keep things tongue in cheek (lololololol fake KOS-MOS ripped off the part of Lena&#8217;s robe covering her boob), but also remembered that when it&#8217;s time to be AWESOME, it&#8217;s time to drop the air quotes.  SOUTEN NO CLAYMORE!, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Most surprisingly good series: The Melancholy of Haruka Nogizaka</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-403" title="inukami yaoi from haruka nogizaka's secret" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_36.jpg" alt="inukami yaoi from haruka nogizaka's secret" width="400" height="225" /><br />
I have really low expectations for moe romantic comedies, usually finding them cliche and contrived and neither moe nor romantic nor comedic.  With Haruka, they dropped the lazy stock jokes (KYAH YOU SAW MY PANTIES NOW I MUST PUNCH YOU) and decided to actually you know, tell jokes or develop their relationship.  It&#8217;s pretty hard to have any kind of a relationship with someone when the reason that they punch you every 30 seconds is because they have an intense distrust of everything you do and all.</p>
<p><strong>Best series, if the second half had been as good as the first: Macross Frontier</strong></p>
<div><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/WjVHXuOV5Y4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' /><param name='allowfullscreen' value='true' /><param name='wmode' value='transparent' /><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/WjVHXuOV5Y4&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;hd=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' allowfullscreen='true' width='425' height='350' wmode='transparent'></embed></object></span></div>
<p>If the second half of the show were as fun as the first half, this choice would be a slam dunk for the best series.  Even though the second half was lackluster, it still had a plucky the-show-must-go-on vibe.  Sheryl might have space AIDS, Ranka is all emo, Alto still hasn&#8217;t paired up with someone, and nobody has spun around in their chair to tell a spaceship captain that &#8220;THE ENEMIES HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE LAST DEFENSE LINE!&#8221; in forever, but doggonit we&#8217;re gonna get out there and bring the house down with a 13 minute medley and <a href="http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=gE3kFtiuQps" target="_blank">an elaborately choreographed dance set to Fatboy Slim&#8217;s The Rockafeller Skank</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Best comedy, best OVA, and fuck it, the best anime of 2008: Magical Heart Kokoro-chan</strong></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-404" title="school days nice boat magical heart kokoro-chan" src="http://jphinano.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/2008_37.jpg" alt="school days nice boat magical heart kokoro-chan" width="400" height="267" /><br />
Yeah, I know that it was only a one-shot OVA, but I honestly can not think of a single anime that made me laugh this hard.  School Days was so melodramatic and over the top that it threatened to topple over at any second and collapse into farce.  The fact that it had a NICE BOAT joke nicely sums up the ability of this series to recognize this aspect laugh at itself as it doesn&#8217;t just push itself over that line, but gleefully runs right past it.  Much like with Code Geass for 2007, there was no anime that I enjoyed as much as this one this year, so I&#8217;m naming it #1.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, I just finished Real Drive today. I really enjoyed it overall. Hm&#8230; Things:</p>
<p>- Holon ;_; That whole bit when Sota was going to confess to her but then she got reformatted mad me so sad. I&#8217;m glad it sort of worked out in the end though.</p>
<p>- I think they did a pretty good job with the antagonist characters and their turnaround in the end. It was overall pretty believable and I think they were characterized rather well overall. I hated Sota&#8217;s evil girlfriend for the longest time but when she stopped being a greedy bitch I came to like her more. For a while I was expecting that Kushima was going to be a mad scientist character. I guess he sort of was but not really. He was probably one of my favorites (though then again, I liked just about everyone in the show, picking a favorite is difficult&#8211;if I had to I&#8217;d probably end up saying Holon because I&#8217;m a sucker for androids). </p>
<p>- I still don&#8217;t understand the title. Maybe I&#8217;m just dumb, I dunno.</p>
<p>- I liked the ending for the most part. Though I was kind of sad that Eliza had to go away (I&#8217;m sorry that reference/extrapolation was just too cool). Haru coming back as a young man was a little&#8230; weird but not really unacceptable. But I can&#8217;t say it didn&#8217;t seem slightly just so that Minamo and he could have a slightly less pedolicious relationship (I dunno, I kind of liked that they had a cute, loving relationship that wasn&#8217;t really a romantic one and just that aspect of the end, assuming my pissy jaded interpretation, just felt like a copout since all kinds of love have to turn into a romantic relationship in anime, right? Bah&#8230;). Is it weird that although I do agree that young Haru is more physically attractive, old man Haru is much cuter? I like him better as a quirky old man goddamnit!</p>
<p>- I meant to add something about this in my first post about RD but I forgot about it while I was writing: the music. I really like about half of the music in the series, and when I downloaded the soundtrack it became very clear why I only liked half of it&#8211;two composers. I&#8217;m really not impressed with the pieces Hirano Yoshihisa contributed to the OST. It&#8217;s all just rehashed Death Note and Ouran. For the most part, whenever one of his tracks came up in the show, I found it really distracting since they already had really strong connotations with those other series. On some level, it felt really half-assed. Taniuchi Hideki&#8217;s pieces on the other hand, I&#8217;m quite enamored with. Most of them are just really sort of mellow techno stuff that reminds me of videogame menu music. But I like it. It&#8217;s GOOD videogame menu music, the sort where you can really enjoy spending several hours reading the in-game encyclopedia to. It&#8217;s stuff like this that always makes me think that electronic devices should all have relaxing electronic music like this. </p>
<p>Hmm&#8230; I&#8217;ll probably think of some other things to add later.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-118" title="last_alliance_2008" src="http://worldapart.wordpress.com/files/2008/12/last_alliance_2008.png" alt="last_alliance_2008" width="500" height="343" /></p>
<p><em><strong>Edit du 11 Février : </strong></em>Un nouveau single est prévu pour le 4 Mars 2009 au Japon, intitulé <em>&#8220;New Dawn&#8221;</em> et comprenant le titre <em><strong>&#8220;Hekireki&#8221;</strong></em> qui est  l&#8217;opening de l&#8217;anime Hajime no Ippo :  New Challenger !</p>
<p style="text-align:center;">~~~~~~</p>
<p>Sinon à part parler de ma vie, je peux aussi discuter d&#8217;autre chose&#8230; genre&#8230; Mon groupe de J-rock préféré ? x)</p>
<p>Plaisanterie à part, j&#8217;ai envie de faire de la propagande pour ce groupe qui mérite à être connu. Surtout que ça faisait un temps que ça me titillait de faire une &#8220;fiche/article&#8221; sur <strong>Last Alliance</strong>.</p>
<p>Découvert par un anime nommé Ouran High School Host Club (ou juste Ouran, ou Host Club, ça suffit), &#8220;<strong><em>Shissou</em></strong>&#8221; en a été l&#8217;ending, bien sûr, coup de coeur à la première écoute *__*</p>
<p>Bref, pour parler un peu plus du groupe en question&#8230;</p>
<p>Si on en croit les dires de Wikipédia, c&#8217;est un groupe japonais formé de 4 personnes :</p>
<p>-<em> </em>Ryūsuke Anzai<em> (voix et guitariste)</em><br />
- Takahiko Matsumara <em>(voix et bassiste)</em><br />
- Shingo Sano <em>(guitare)</em><br />
- Hiroshi Ozawa <em>(batterie)</em></p>
<p>Ils ont interprété  &#8220;<strong><em>Shisso</em><em>u</em></strong>&#8221; l&#8217;ending de l&#8217;anime Ouran en 2006, mais aussi l&#8217;ending de Real Drive : &#8220;<strong><em>Katahiza no yogore</em></strong>&#8221; en 2008.<br />
Comptant un total de 4 albums (&#8220;<em>Tears library</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>Underground blue</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>Me And Your Borderline</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>The Sum</em>&#8220;) et 7 singles (&#8220;<em>Last Alliance</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>YG Service</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>IO</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>Re:frain</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>Daze&#38;hope</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>Signal 004</em>&#8220;, &#8220;<em>Always in my heart</em>&#8220;), malgré tout le groupe est relativement peu connu en France, de même au Japon&#8230; Leur dernier album n&#8217;a pas fait autant de bruit que l&#8217;album &#8220;<em>Panic Fancy</em>&#8221; de <strong>Orange Range</strong> par exemple, ou &#8220;<em>Proglution</em>&#8221; de<strong> UVERworld</strong>.. J&#8217;ai même eu du mal à trouver leur album.</p>
<p>A noter qu&#8217;il y a 2 chanteurs dans le groupe, Anzai et Matsumura. Chacun a son style particulier, je trouve.. Anzai chantant les chansons les plus dynamiques (&#8220;<em><strong>Shissou</strong></em>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong><em>Spiral world</em></strong>&#8220;, etc..) et Matsumura des chansons un peu plus calmes (&#8220;<strong><em>Urge</em></strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong><em>Konoyubitomare</em></strong>&#8220;, &#8220;<strong><em>Itsuwari no orange</em></strong>&#8220;, etc..), mais cela reste une généralité.<br />
Il y a une voix dominante en fonction des chansons. Ma préférence va aux morceaux avec Anzai, mais l&#8217;autre se débrouille bien aussi =D</p>
<p>Enfin le grand plus du groupe pour mwa, c&#8217;est surtout leur musique. Je ne suis pas une spécialiste, et je ne sais pas comment qualifier tout ça, mais j&#8217;adore.. Y&#8217;a pas vraiment de mots pour décrire ça, et ce n&#8217;est qu&#8217;un avis personnel.</p>
<p>&#8216;Fin bref, écoutez ce groupe ! o/</p>
<p>A la fin de ce billet, j&#8217;inclus un lien menant vers un livejournal qui permet le téléchargement de la majeure partie des chansons du groupe (mais y&#8217;a pas le dernier album de dispo) et quelques liens Youtube vers quelques clips.</p>
<p>Ps: Faut avouer que leurs clips cassent pas 2 pattes à un canard, et qu&#8217;ils sont pas super jeunes ni super beaux.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>So, I&#8217;m about 10 episodes in now. I&#8217;m quite enjoying this series so far. A few thoughts:</p>
<p>- Why is it Real <em>Drive</em> and not Real <em>Dive</em>? I mean, Real Drive does sound better, but watching the show &#8220;dive&#8221; seems like it&#8217;d make more sense. I keep having to double check whenever I type it becaus I think I&#8217;m wrong. </p>
<p>- I haven&#8217;t managed to bring myself to skip the OP yet. This is quite uncommon for me.</p>
<p>- As with most of Production I.G.&#8217;s SF stuff, Real Drive&#8217;s atmosphere is really thorough. They always seem to do a good job with presenting a world that feels real and complete. All the background artwork is really beautiful too. I&#8217;m quite fond of their color choices (it&#8217;s pretty similar to GitS, but more white-cyan bent than grey-purple), it&#8217;s very relaxing.</p>
<p><!--more--></p>
<p>- However, somehow in a good third or more of the episodes I&#8217;ve watched so far, I feel like I&#8217;ve missed like a good 10 minutes of the story somehow (especially &#8220;Love Letter,&#8221; I mean, I *kinda* got what happened but not really). I only find this mildly bothersome though (I dunno, either I&#8217;m just too dumb to put the pieces together or this series just has a very &#8220;Japanese&#8221; bent&#8211;lol, yes anime that&#8217;s Japanese ,what a concept&#8230;). I think part of it is that the world setting feels so complete that some of the stuff (especially about the Metal and whatnot) that I feel lost about seems alright because&#8230; On some level it feels like it&#8217;s very, foreign, but native to the culture it&#8217;s about (er&#8230; that is to say, a lot of the stuff I feel like I&#8217;m missing re: the Metal/etc seems more like I&#8217;m not getting it because the story is being told &#8216;naturally&#8217; for or by a member of the society the story takes place in, so certain things are glossed over and wouldn&#8217;t be missing for a member of that culture (which doesn&#8217;t actually exist), but since I&#8217;m not from that world I don&#8217;t get it, but I&#8217;m okay with it given that perspective&#8211;in other words: Hey writers of BSG, THIS is what &#8220;natural&#8221; SF is, not your lol-lets-gloss-over-technical-stuff-so-we-can-make-it-do-whatever-the-fuck-we-want-because-we-never-properly-establish-how-it-works bullshit. Your show is bad and you should feel bad&#8211;and yes I do take any and every opportunity to criticize BSG, it&#8217;s a terrible show and I hate everyone who thinks it&#8217;s good SF, because it&#8217;s an insult to the genre.) </p>
<p>- I&#8217;m kinda so-so on the character designs. On one hand I think it&#8217;s nice to see a series that plays with a variety of bodytypes and looks for characters&#8211;but there are some noticable issues with some of the characters staying on model and I still have a hard time believing the girls are actually middleschoolers design-wise (they&#8217;re too&#8230; curvy, and it&#8217;s not just the boobs).</p>

Nein, der Blog bleibt xP<br />
Stattdessen merke ich momentan, wie mir die Zeit so davonläuft. Also wird weniger gebloggt, ergo wird gedroppt (wo ist die Worspielpolizei?).<br />
Was geht drauf? Mehr nach dem Klick!<br />
<!--more--><br />
<strong>Allison &#38; Lillia</strong><br />
Auch wenn die Subs mittlerweile durch sind, verspüre ich so gar keine Lust mehr daran, irgendwas fehlt.</p>
<p><strong>Bounen no Xamdou</strong><br />
Hat da jemand Gähn gesagt? Richtig, die große Sony-Bones-Show verliert sich für mich in Nichtigkeiten und beschäftigt sich Charakteren, die mich 0 interessieren. Also das perfekte Opfer für einen Drop!</p>
<p><strong>Hyakko</strong><br />
Wo ist der Humor geblieben? Ich mag nicht mehr, der Rest der Welt wahrscheinlich auch nicht mehr.</p>
<p><strong>Michiko &#38; Hatchin</strong><br />
Nanu, so etwas qualitativ hochwertiges? Japp, ich finds nämlich langweilig, bei Episode 5 lag ich mehrmals schnarchend auf der Tastatur.</p>
<p><strong>Real Drive</strong><br />
Subs sind mittlerweile komplett raus (Amen an Ureshii!), aber ähnlich wie bei Allison will ich nicht mehr. Sollte ich gegen Ende des Jahres doch noch die Zeit finden, werde ich zumindest die letzte Episode nachtragen, aber nicht drauf vertrauen.</p>
<p>Damit bleiben noch erhalten: Clannad After Story, Earl and Fairy (wobei ich hier auch shcon mein Nerven reißen sehe), Gundam00, Nodame Paris (nur, um darüber lästern zu können)Skip Beat, Toradora, Tytania.<br />
So. Irgendwelche Meinungen/Bestechungsversuche?</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>By TheBigN</p>
<p>When I did this <a title="Thankful for Anime, 2007 - DMAB" href="http://bignanime.wordpress.com/2007/11/22/thoughts-on-thanksgiving/" target="_blank">last year</a>, I thought I was a little unique for setting it up the way I did. Turns out that this same format (and the title even), had been done for years past by one Jason Miao. Goes to show you how originality is hard to come by (orz). But it still is a good time to be thankful for yet another fun year in new anime series.</p>
<p><!--more-->I&#8217;m thankful for more despair.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m thankful for one last gondola ride exploring Neo Venezia&#8217;s wonders.</p>

<p>Once again, I&#8217;m thankful for everyone that&#8217;s been involved with this blog in some way, directly or indirectly. I&#8217;m thankful for those that have stopped looking at this blog, and those who&#8217;ve only just begun. I&#8217;m thankful for bloggers and commenters that think more highly of me than I think of myself, and ones that won&#8217;t give me the time of day (but I will show them. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ). I&#8217;m thankful for knowing that this blog still can be even better than it has been, and not being satisfied for what has already been done. And I&#8217;m thankful that I don&#8217;t have to do this again till next year. <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

Furuichi verwandelt sich, Nakiami versucht ihn aufzuhalten. Jedoch kann er kein Xam&#8217;d-Gesicht bilden und schleudert sie in die Bewusstlosigkeit. Akiyuki stellt sich schließlich gegen ihn, doch sein alter Freund bringt ihn zu Boden. Haru bezeugt einmal mehr ihre Liebe zu Akiyuki, weshalb Furuichi sie schließlich runterschluckt. Nun verwandelt sich Akiyuki in seine Xam&#8217;d-Form und schlägt auf ihn ein, Nakiami sorgt anschließend dafür, dass Furuichi seinen alten Körper zurückerhält und für Harus Befreiung. Doch nun tauchen die ASPs auf und machen Akiyuki kampfunfähig, Kakisu kommt ebenfalls vorbei; Haru und Furuichi werden abgeführt. Nakiami soll zum im Hafen wartenden Schiff flüchten, er selbst schnappt sich Kakisu und sucht ebenfalls das Weite. Auf einem Dach lässt er seine Geisel zurück, bricht ihm vorsichtshalber aber gleich noch den linken Arm. Auf seinem Weg wird Akiyuki von einem ASP zusammengeschossen und vom Fluss mitgerissen, und Furuichi ist aus dem Transporter geflohen und hat gleich noch die Wachen erledigt. Vor einem Getränkeladen reißt er sich schließlich selbst den Kopf ab. Akiyuki wird am Hafen in halb zurückverwandeltem Zustand von einem Zirkus aufgelesen. Und seinen Namen hat er nun auch vergessen.<br />
Was zur&#8230; ? Mutiert Xam&#8217;d jetzt zu einer mäßigen Mischung aus Akira und Casshern? Die Animationsqualität schwankte diesmal extremst, einerseits Kinoqualität und andererseits ein Maß, dass ich in 80er Shows schon besser gesehen habe. Oweh&#8230;</p>

Sakuya will sich des Morgens in Kanades Zimmer schleichen, kriegt aber lediglich die Tür ins Gesicht gedrückt. Dafür gehen sie dann aber gemeinsam einkaufen, während sich Yukino um die zurückgezogene Shi kümmert und von ihrer großen Schwester erzählt, die viel Zeit für ihr Geburtstagsportrait aufgewendet hat. Am Abend erzählt Sakuya, warum sie Kanade so mag: sie selbst hat immer während der Ferien Geburtstag und da klappt das Feiern mit Mitschülern nicht so wirklich, und da hat sie ihr ein paar nette Worte gesagt. In der NAcht kuscheln sich die 3 Schwestern zusammen und verpsrechen Shi, sie einmal wöchentlich anzurufen, wenn sie wieder regelmäßig zur Schule geht.<br />
Bedeutend weniger Humor als bisher, dafür aber echte Glanzleistungen in Sachen Animation, die einem Shinkai Konkurrenz machen können. Nur die Charaktere scheinen über Neujahr unerwartet gealtert zu sein. Und ein neues Ending gibts auch, glaub ich (kann mich nicht mehr an das Alte erinnern, liegt zu lange zurück&#8230;).</p>

Der Schüler Yanagi Kyougoku (Atsushi Kousaka) verdient Geld mit den Fotoaufnahmen seiner Mitschüler. Sein Freund Shishimaru Sengoku (Kenji Takahashi, Hong Long in Gundam 00) ziegt ziemliches Interesse an Ayu (bzw. Torako), als gleich mal ein Foto für 500 Yen angedreht. Der sitzt dann am Fenster und sieht es sich an, doch dann kommt starker Wind und reißt es mit, er erwischt es grade noch so. Dumm, das Ayu um die Ecke komt, die denkt, dass er springen will. Sie versucht, ihn aufzuhalten, knickt sich allerdings den Fuß um und wirft ihn raus. Sie entschuldigt sich natürlich bei ihm, bemerkt aber das Foto. Er gesteht ihr gleich mal seine Liebe für Torako (warum auch immer).<br />
Torako ist müde kommt zur spät zur Schule und der Bus taucht auch nicht auf. Also ab in den Supermarkt, was gegen den Hunger tun. Dort trifft sie auf die Delinquentin Ushio Makunouchi (Yuko Kaida, Julia in Blood+), und hängt sich gleich mal an ihre Fersen. Bzw. schleift sie in eine Karaokebar. Nach einer Prügelei werden die Zwei schließlich rausgeworfen. Also wieder Essen holen, und anschließend eine Katze streicheln. Nun entscheidet man sich, doch noch zur Schule zu gehen; und dort wartet schon Amagasa-sensei&#8230;</p>

Michiko hängt im Striplokal Rumba ab und beschwert sich gleich mal über die laute Musik und die vielen falschen Brüste, anschließend kriegt sie von der Tänzerin Pepe Rima (Shie Kohinata, Mikiru in Trava) noch einen Fuß gestellt. Also geht sie im Chinarestaurant essen und wird dann gleich mal von den Kindern mit Schusswaffen abgeholt und zum Chef der Favela, Rico, gebracht. Für die Schmerzen, die sie dem kleinen Schützen aus der vorherigen Episode verpasst hat, soll sie gleich mal zahlen, am besten mit Handarbeit. Seine Freundin Pepe im Nachbarraum hört das garnicht gerne und zerstört dabei einen Fernseher. Also einigt man sich aufs Geld. Einen Tag später speist die Stripperin mit Lulu im Chinarestaurant und fragt Hatchin nach ihrer Verbindung zu Hiroshi. Außerdem ist morgen ihr Geburtstag, da will man im Rumba &#8216;ne Party veranstalten und Hiroshi kommt vielleicht auch. Anschließend hat sie auch noch ohn zu Bezahlen ab und Hatchin geht schließlich nach Hause. Schließlich steht Pepes Geburtstag an und sie verlangt von ihrem Chef mal etwas mehr Geld, kriegt aber lediglich eine Ohrfeige;Hatchin besäuft sich dafür mit Orangensaft. Pepe setzt sich mit dazu und erzählt von ihrer Vergangenheit: sie lebte in einer reichen Familie, doch mit dem Tod des Vaters kamen die Schulenberge angerollt, und schließlich fing sie mit ihrer Schwester Lulu ein neues Leben an. Michiko und Pepe veranstalten schließlich einen Trinkwettbewerb, letztere verliert schließlich. Zurück im Hotel wird Michiko von Lulu um ihre Tasche beraubt, die gesuchte ID ist allerdings nicht drin. Also wird Rico überfallen und ums Partygeld erleichtert. Der schickt die Kinder auf die Suche nach den Zweien, welche Pepe schließlich erschießen, nachdem die sie von Michiko keine Hilfe erhalten hat.</p>

Jean wird Dirigent beim Deschaumps-Orchester, und nicht Chiaki, denn man wollten einen jungen und dynamischen Mann. Chiaki wird dafür fester Dirigent im Roux-Marlet, und nach dem ersten Besuch stellt er schnell fest, dass dort ziemlich viel Arbeit ansteht (und das ist noch freundlich ausgedrückt). Am nächsten Tag taucht Rui im Konservatorium auf und Nodame schleicht ihr bis zu Chiaki hinterher. Sie hat sich von ihrer diabolischen Mutter abgesetzt und will nun ein Jahr Pause machen und in Paris studieren. &#8216;Ne Wohnung hat sie allerdings nicht, also soll Chiaki sie am morgigen Tag herumführen. Da steht dann allerdings Rolan vor der Tür, das Marlet sucht mal wieder neue Mitglieder (die letzten Tage sind die alten scharenweise ausgewandert), warum also nicht so das neue Orchester kennenlernen? Dann hat allerdings der Dirigent abgesagt, und der Orchestermeister hätte gerne einen der großen Namen, denn Chiaki ist ihm ein zu kleines billiges Würstchen, Rolan kann sie aber schließlich doch überzeugen.<br />
Zur Abwechslung mal keine harschen, unfreundlichen Worte von mir, denn diese Woche hat es mir sehr gut gefallen. Unerwartet, aber anscheinend hat der Regisseur sich langsam eingefunden.</p>

Da Kushima aufgrund der Entführung beim Treffen nicht anwesend ist, wird die Nutzung der Wetterpartikel kurzerhand beschlossen. Kushimas Körper hat man nun gefunden, sein Hirn wurde allerdings entfernt. Laut Sota hat das Hirn nur noch eine Lebenszeit von 8 Stunden. Die Informationen über Kushimas letzten Aufenthaltsort sind allerdings streng vertraulich, also machen sich Sota und Holon gemeinsam auf die Suche. Minamo und Haru suchen dafür im Metal nach Kushimas Bewusstsein. Am Ort des Verbechens trifft Sota auf Generalsekretär Jennie Yen, man hat die Zügel der Untersuchung selbst in die Hand genommen, und erkärt Sota aufgrund seiner Nähe zu Kushima zu einem der Hauptverdächtigen. Im Krankenhaus bekommen sie auch keine Informationen, der Rat hat bereits alles eingesammelt. Also zur First Princes,, die erzählt ihm, wie lange Kushimas Hirn genau von seinem Körper getrennt ist, und sie ist der Ansicht, dass Yen dahinter steckt. Haru stolpert im Metal überzahllose Gedankenblasen Kushimas und geht auf der Suche bis an seine Grenze und muss schließlich von seinen 2 Nachbarn gerettet werden. Die suchen auch erstmal an Harus Stelle weiter, er soll sich ausruhen. Später taucht er nochmal ein und findet ihn, doch womöglich hat er sein Bewusstsein selbst im Metal verteilt. Im Krankenahus finden Holon und Sota Kushimas Cyberbrain, das gerade einer OP unterzogen wird. Holon legt einen Bypass über ihr eigenes, woraufhin Sota die Hirnzellen seines Chefs holen kann, Holons Brain hat es allerdings erwischt. Kushima wird sein Brain wieder eingesetzt, dafür gibt es aber auch einen Erinnerungsverlust, womöglich wird sein Bewusstsein sogar nie zurückkehren. Holon wurde ein Backup aufgespielt, das ist allerdings schon wieder 3 Monate alt.</p>

Während des Schulausflugs schneit Tsukune mal wieder zuhause rein. Moka taucht auch noch auf, und seine Mutter reagiert äußerst angespannt. In seinem Bett findet Tsukune dann auch noch Kurumu, Mizore im Schrank und Yukari kommt durchs Fenster rein. Seine Mutter ist jetzt noch ein bisschen mehr geschockt, und nach einer Badezimmeraktion ist sie dem Tobsuchtsanfall nahe. Tsukunes Nachbarin Kyoko schneit auch noch rein, und ist von seiner Entwicklung geradezu beeindruckt. Aber nun will sie entscheiden, wer Tsukunes Freundin wird, als Vorstellung samt erstem Auftritt in der Serie-Jokes. Kurumu und Mizore kämpfen auf der Straße, während Moka sich mal wieder um Tsukunes bewusstlose Mutter kümmert. Mizore, Yukari und Kurumu verwandeln einen Spielplatz in einen Haufen gefrorene Asche. Kokoa ist immernoch unterwegs, mittlerweile hat sie auf ihrem Fahrrad einen Sportwagen und einen Shinkansen überholt, und sich dabei den Spitznamen Erdbeere eingehandelt. Moka entschuldigt sich schließlich bei Tsukunes Mutter für den entstandenen Ärger und beendet den Streit zwischen den übrigen Mitgliedern des Zeitungs-Clubs. Und ab zurück zur Schule.<br />

Ruriko macht sich shcon Hoffnungen, Kyoko nie wiedersehen zu müssen, doch dann wird sie von Ren angeschleppt und kocht vor Wut förmlich über, hat er mit ihr doch bisher nie ein freundliches Wort gesprochen. Kyokos Fuß wird erstmal versorgt, Ruriko darf sich von Ren anhören, dass sie mal wieder zu spät da ist. Dann trifft sie auf Kyoko und lässt gleich mal ihren Hass an ihr aus, Rens Manager und Kyoko schleppen sie daraufhin zum Dreh. Dort schubbst Ruriko Kyoko rum und handelt sich einigen Ärger ein und bemerkt, dass sie mit ihrer selbstsüchtigen Art hier nicht weiterkommt. Ihre Probe ist auch nicht gerade berauschend und fordert Kyko schließlich in gewisser Weise zu einem Duell heraus. Die freut sich über diese einmalige Chance, die sie nur durch die Selbstsucht Rurikos erhalten hat. Und das Makeup findet Kyoko auch toll. Ihre Arbeit erledigt Kyoko dann ausgezeichnet, haben ihr die vielen Jahre bei Shos Familie doch geholfen, auch wenn sie es am liebsten vergessen möchte. Für die nächste Szene steht Teezeremonie an, und das ist mit Kyokos verletztem Bein garnicht gut. Vorteil bringts aber, dass Ruriko diesmal ihren Text vergessen hat.</p>

Taiga taucht zuhause bei Ryuji auf, der sich mit Ami in einer leicht falsch zu interpretierenden Situation befindet (was Taiga natürlich tut, es aber vor Minorin verschweigt). Später kippt Inko von der Stange und Ryuji verpennt, weckt Taiga deshalb mit &#8216;nem Besen auf den Kopf. Schnell zur Schule gerannt und schon steht das nächste Problem (für Taiga) ins Haus: morgen gibts Schwimmstunden, gemischt. Also müssen neue Schwimmklamotten her. Ami ist auch da, und die sorgt mit ihren langen Beinen für eine spontane Flucht von Minorin. Taiga kann sich nicht entscheiden, also muss Ryuji helfen. Mal wieder zuhause, Ryujis Mutter muss arbeiten und kriegt den Sojabohnen-Spezial-Drink, der Brüste vergrößert; Taiga ist geradezu fasziniert davon und Ryuji kriegt Wind von ihrer Flachbrüstigkeit, also schneidert er ihr zwei Einlagen. Während des Unterrichts kriegt Minorin natürlich als erste Wind vom falschen Vorbau, und Kitamura gefällt Taigas Haarschnitt. Ryuji und Taiga werden kurz darauf ins Wasser geschleudert (wofür hat man sonst Freunde?) und Taiga zeigt, dass sie tatsächlich nicht schwimmen kann, tatsächlich ist aber nur ein Pushup abgehauen. Ryuji legt also persönlich Hand an&#8230; Ami entschuldigt sich schließlich bei Aisaka, trotzdem wird sich weitergestritten. Minorin empfiehlt den Beiden, dass beim Sport zu klären.</p>

Lillia soll das Dynamit in den Kami werfen und damit ordentlich für Ablenkung sorgen, in der Zeit will Treize zum funktionierenden Funkgerät und Hilfe holen. So weit der Plan. Explosion funktioniert, durch die Tür kommen sie allerdings nicht rein, weshalb sie per Rohr in den dritten Stock klettern. Die beiden können einen Funkspruch absetzen, der leider so garnichts aussgat, denn schon stehen die Terroristen vor der Tür. Also wird sich höchst erfolgreich in einem geheimen Schrankfach versteckt. Die Terroristen haben nun auch das Verschwinden einer der Geiseln bemerkt, also will man den Plan zur Flucht vorziehen, bei dem man das Gebäude niederbrennen will, um so alle Spuren zu verwischen. Leader rückt nun auch damit raus, dass sie die Tochter von Owen Nihito, Claire, ist. Und Fi erzählt Claire nun die Wahrheit über sich, wofür sie sich anschließend Claires komplette Wut einfängt. Aber das bringt die Entführerin doch gleich auf eine neue Idee, warum der Welt nicht die Wahrheit verkünden und Ixtovas Monarchie zerquetschen? Treize klaut für Lillia aus dem Zimmer seiner Schwester derweil einen Mantel und etwas Schokolade, danach will er sich wieder aufmachen. Lillia gibt er noch seinen Anhänger, den sie Fi zeigen soll, wenn irgendetwas mit ihm passiert. Sagen kann er ihr allerdings noch immer nicht, dass er der Prinz ist. Also macht er sich, mit Bettlaken und Gewehr, an die Verfolgung der Terroristen und seiner Eltern. Doch dann wird er angeschossen&#8230;</p>

Akiyuki kehrt mit Nakiami nach 6 Monaten (bitte was?!) nach Sentan Island zurück, Harus Schwester leitet die NAchricht auch gleich mal weiter, der Geheimdienst kriegt allerdings auch Wind davon. Erstmal schaut Akiyuki aber bei seinem Vater vorbei, Nakiami trifft dafür Haru. Akiyuki zeigt seinem Vater seinen Hiruko, woraufhin dieser ihn zur Verurascherin des Bus-Anschlags bringt. Die Militärpolizei steht nun auch vor der Tür, aber dank der Hilfe einer alten Dame kann er sogar noch mit einer Lunchbox entkommen. Midori bittet nun Furuichi um Hilfe, da sich Haru nun höchst merkwürdig benimmt. Akiyuki hat die Lunchbox zuhause bei seiner Mutter vorbeigebracht und ist schnell wieder verschwunden; und sie jagt ihm hinterher. An der Bushaltestelle findet sie ihn schließlich, doch schnell wie der Wind ist er auch wieder weg. Am Kriegsopferdenkmal treffen sich Haru und Akiyuki schließlich wieder. Harus Gefühle schwanken extremst zwischen ihrer Pflichterfüllung für das Militär auf der einen Seite und ihrer Liebe zu Akiyuki auf der anderen. Furuichi taucht schließlich auch auf, und langsam ergreift sein Hiruko dank seiner Wut die Kontrolle über ihn.<br />
Los, lohnt sich allein schon wegen Akushibas Preview dieses Mal!</p>

Jack Ill Dark, der aktuelle Emperor of Death Metal, ist zum Abschied auf seiner letzten Welttournee und er hat angekündigt, jede Metalband der Welt zu zerschmettern. In Japan soll selbstverständlich DMC dran glauben. Mit dabei ist die Gitarre des ersten Emperors, Karth Murder, die nach Blut giert. Negishi, freundlich wie er ist, willl seinem Gegner vor dem Auftritt noch ein paar Shiitake vorbeibringen, der steht aber so garnicht drauf und jagt ihn raus.<br />
Zeit für den Auftritt und Krausers versuchten Public Suicide. Im Gesangswettbewerb besiegt Krauser Jack mit einem halben Fuck, der Metal Buffalo freundet sich mit dem tierlieben KRauser schnell an und Jacks Pythons werden kurzerhand als Drumsticks missbraucht. Zum Abschied bekommt Negishi Karths Gitarre und ist damit offiziell der 3. Emperor of Death Metal.<br />

Kelpie (Takehito Koyasu, Yuri in Planetes) begrüßt eine singende Fee, die einen Ring nach London bringen will. Er selbst will ebenfalls dorthin und tauscht gleich mal den Ring aus. Lydia ist derweil mit dem blauen Earl beschäftigt, der will sie nämlich auf seinen Ball zerren und hat schonmal einen Tanzlehrer eingeladen; laut Nico gleichen ihre Fähigkeiten aber eher einer tödlichen Waffe als einer Tänzerin. Marigold (Rie Kugimiya, Shakugan no Shana) ist mittlerweile mit dem Ring angekommen, sie hat von ihrer Herrin einen Auftrag im Bezug auf den blauen Earl bekommen. Der Tanzlehrer entpuppt sich wenig später als unfähiger Assasine, der zum Fenster hinaus flüchtet und die Kette eines roten Halbmondes zurücklässt. Aber zurück zu Marigold, die hat noch ein paar schlechte Nachrichten, der Ring der Feldfee, mit der der blaue Earl verlobt ist, wurde Marigold während ihrer Reise gestohlen. Edgar schlägt vor, dass sie erstmal am Hofe bleibt, und Nico hat bei der Sache mit dem Ring ein ganz schlechtes Gefühl. Auf dem Ball trifft Lydia dann auf den Künstler Paul Ferman (Hiroshi Kamiya, Takemoto in Honey &#38; Clover) und bietet ihr einen Tanz an, dann taucht jedoch Nico auf, der ein schwarzes Spektralpferd gesichtet hat, sprich Kelpie, der sie nach Schottland mitnehmen will. Den Ring hat er auch noch dabei. Der stülpt sich dann aber über Pauls Finger, der sich in die Streiterei einmischt. Kelpie hat aber so garkein Interesse an Fee-Zeichnern, und wenn der Ring nicht vom Finger will, dann muss halt der Finger ab von der Hand. Dann taucht allerdings Edgar auf, und Raven sorgt schließlich für Kelpies Abzug. Um ihren Tanz mit Edgar kommt Lydia trotzdem nicht drum rum, schließlich wird es aber zu einem Walzer der Gefühle. Für Edgar kommt dann auch noch ein Brief mit dem Siegel des roten Mondes, da trachtet ihm wohl jemand nach dem Leben.<br />

Michiko unterhält mit einer Stimme Gottes, die ihr gleich mitteilt, das Hatchin vor schlechtem Karma überläuft. Anschließend kauft Michiko noch ein paar abgekniffene Fingernägel Gottes und schluckt sie mit etwas Wasser runter, woraufhin sie Hiroshis Anwesenheit spürt. Für Hatchin gibts noch einen Forsa Fedra, vielleicht der Stein ihr ja Glück. Achja, Wahrsagerei gabs auch noch, für Michiko hat die alte Schachtel vorausgesagt, dass sie einen Mann finden und mit ihm 2 Kinder haben wird; Hatchin wird dafür Probleme mit ihrem rechten Bein bekommen und durch Gewehrfeuer am MEer sterben, wenn das keine guten Aussichten sind&#8230; Sie glaubt nicht dran, und sofort trett sie mit ihrem rechten Fuß in einen Haufen Hundekot. Im Hotel kümmert sie sich erstmal um ihre Schuhe und Michiko hat sich um eine Skizze von Hiroshi bemüht (sieht verteufelt nach Spike Spiegel aus) und ein paar neue Schuhe für Hatchin gabs oben drauf. Am nächsten Morgen ist Hana auf und davon, die Schuhe hat sie aber nicht angezogen. Sie hat sich nach dem Preis erkundigt und sucht sich einen Job, in einem China-Restaurant. Michiko macht sich mit einem selstgezeichneten Steckbrief wenig erfolgreich auf die Suche nach Hana, die ist am selben Abend dann auch wieder im Hotel. Am nächsten Tag nutzt sie ihr Chef mal wieder kräftig aus, aber sie fässt neuen Mut und schneidet sich die Zöpfe ab. Und zwei Jungs prellen auch gleich noch die Zesche und sie rennt ihnen hinterher auf den Berg. Dort wird sie beschossen, aber mit ihrem Glücksstein ist Problem schnell entsorgt. Dann taucht Michiko auf und rammt dem Schützen gleich noch ihren Schuhabsatz in den Handrücken, kann auch nciht schaden. Anschließend gehts zu Hiroshi, der ist mittlerweile verheiratet und sieht Hana tatsächlich ziemlich ähnlich, doch Michiko behauptet, er wäre nicht der Echte und zieht davon.</p>

Stand in der ersten Staffel noch Zeon im Mittelpunkt, geht es diesmal um die Verlierer auf Seiten der Federation Forces. Das Ganze geht los am 1.März des UC-Jahres 0079, mit der ersten Zeon-Landeoperation auf der Erde. Die erste Basis haben die Sides in Europa aufgebaut, nun geht es westwärts. Im Laufe der kommenden Wochen erobern die Spacenoids fast den gesamten Äquator. An der Front in Südeuropa ziehen die Erdttruppen langsam ab und Lietenant Ben Barberry (Masaki Terasoma, Kelb in Tower of Druaga) erinnert sich an seine Gefährten, die er in den vergangenen Schlachten verloren hat. Vom großen Major Michele Corematta (Hiroki Touch, Lasse in Gundam 00) kriegt er ein neues Squad, mit welchem er den Abzug der Truppen decken soll. Bei strömendem Regen geht die Fahrt los, und Barberry teilt seinen Untergebenen schließlich mit, dass sie gegen 3 Zakus antreten werden. Ein wenig Schlaf hat er sich verdient, doch ihm erscheint die Göttin des Todes, die langsam ihre Hände nach ihm ausstreckt. Kurz nach Sonnenaufgang erreichen sie dann eine zerstörte Stadt und davor wird fleißig die Ausrüstung aufgebaut. Einer der Trupps stellt sich allerdings freimütig auf eine alte Mühle und Papa Sydney Lewis (Nobuyuki Hiyama, Shiro Amada in The 08th MS-Team) gibt nun zu, dass die Soldaten zuvor lediglich 2 Wochen Ausbildung genossen haben. Dann ist aber auch schon der erste Zaku im Anmarsch. Doch Barberry erteilt nicht den Schussbefehlt, denn ein einzelner Soldat rennt vor dem Zaku, den es schließlich aber dennoch erwischt. Der Pilot des Zakus erleidet einen minimalen Nervenzusammenbruch, der Krieg hat ihn seit seinem Abschied von Side 3 ziemlich verändert. Mithilfe eines Simultanangriffs wird der Zaku nun sein Gewehr erleichtert und die Kniegelenke trifft man gleich mit. Und das nächste Problem: Zaku Nummer 2 kommt den Berg herabgerannt. Ein Schwadron der Soldaten wird vom Gewehr erledigt, ein weiteres durch einen fliegenden Laster. Mithilfe einer Anti-MS-Rakete erledigt man den bschädigten ersten Zaku aber schließlich. Die Situation gerät nun völlig außer Kontrolle: ein weiteres Schwadron wird von einer Beam-Axe zerlegt, und nun ist nur noch eine handvoll Soldaten übrig. Lewis wird dann schließlich von der S-Mine des Zakus getötet und nun ist noch Barberry übrig. Der zweite Zaku fällt schließlich in ein Loch und Barberry genießt es förmlich, ihn zu zerlegen. Wieder ist er der Einzigste, der überlebt hat&#8230; erhofft er sich zumindest, denn er hat den 3. Zaku vergessen, und der hat sich unter der Erde versteckt gehabt. Mit seiner Pistole kann er allerdings nichts mher ausrichten. Am 27.April 0079UC ergriff ihn die Göttin des Todes.<br />
Wirklich beeindruckende Qualität, speziell Barberry und die Göttin wirken in vielen Momenten wie echte Menschen; ein ganz großes Lob an die CGI-Abteilung von Sunrise! Die Action ist fantastisch inszeniert. Achja, als Ending gibts das wundervolle Mr. Lonely Heart von Haruno Yokota.</p>

Erinnert sich noch jemand an Kuroki Yasunori, den Oboespieler? Ja? Gut, dann weiter: der studiert auch am Konservatorium und sucht gerade Mitglied eine kleine Musikgruppe und stolpert dabei über Nodame. Chiaki macht sich bereit für seine Abreise nach Holland, und Nodame und Kuroki schlagen grade noch rechtzeitig ein, um sich von ihm zu verabschieden. Als Kuroki ihr Zimmer sieht, fängt seine Liebe zu ihr etwas zu welken an, aber das olt sie mit ihrem Klavierspiel wieder raus. Am nächsten Tag kriegt Kuroki &#8216;ne Absage von einem Mitglied erteilt und Nodame bringt ihn shcließlich mit zu einer Weihnachtsgeschichte in die Kirche, wo sie den Esel spielen dürfen. Chiaki kommt auch wieder, und erneut wartet niemand zuhause auf ihn. Fast niemand, denn ein MAler aus dem oberen Stockwerk, ein Freund seines Vaters, begrüßt ihn mit einer guten Flasche Wein. Am Abend treffen Nodame und Chiaki wieder aufeinander und es kommt zu einem höchst brutalen Zwist.<br />
Und weiter geht es dem Tiefpunkt entgegen! Im Manga hab ich bei der Brückenschlägerei wirklich geweint, und hier wirkt es wie eine der typschen Streitereien der Zwei. Gyabo~!</p>

Holon lädt Sota zu einem Shoppingtrip ein! Die First Princess kümmert sich persönlich um die Überführung der Anlagen zur Wetterkontrolle und trifft sich wenig später mit dem recht lauffähigen Haru. Sie möchte ihn als Diver fürs Kommitee haben, er lehnt aber vorläufig ab, da er mit Kushima noch immer nach dem Erdbiorythmus sucht. Zum 20. Jubiläum der künstlichen Insel will man die Wetterpartikel nutzen, um sich endgültig der Ressourcneknappheit zu entledigen, doch Kushima sorgt erstmal für eine Verschiebung. Minamos Vater arbeitet derweil an einem neuen Tauchanzug, der den Druck bis zu einer Tiefe von 1km aushalten soll. Und Sota trennt sich von der First Princess. Sota und Haru wollen sich mit Kushima treffen, doch dann erreicht sie die Nachricht, dass er entführt wurde.</p>

4 Bekloppte treffen sich, um im Westdistrikt ein paar Monster zu plätten. Egal, zurück zu unseren Hauptakteuren, für die steht einen Klassenfahrt in die Menschenwelt an, Ruby macht Stadtführerin und zeigt ihre tollen Hände; Kokoa radelt hinterher (war die bisheriger Zensiererei nur eine Vorbeirutung auf diesen mickrigen Unterwäsche-Gag?). Kurumu-chan freut sich schon darauf, dass dieses Mal ihre Episode ansteht, aber natürlich verpasst sie ihre Chance. Kaum kommt Kokoa an, fährt der Bus auch schon wieder über sie drüber. Moka und Kokoa beweisen bei Fanartikeln ihren schlechten Geschmack, ziehen sich beim Zusammenstoß mit ein paar Bekloppten dann aber schrecklich unterschiedlich aus der Schlinge. Im Hotel kommt Moka dann garnicht mehr an Tsukune ran. Zeit für Onsen, Kokoa wird allerdings von Shuzen-sensei erwischt, also gibts eine halbnackte Verfolgungsjagd durchs Hotel und ein Blutbad unter den männlichen Anwesenden. In der Nacht schleicht sich Moka aus dem Zimmer zu Tsukune, draußen werden sie allerdings von den Bekloppten überrascht, die Tsukune gleich mal als Geisel nehmen. Mit Rubys Hilfe besorgen sich die Mädchen ein paar neue Klamotten (Gott, ist es schon wieder Zeit für Sukeban Deka?). Die Bekloppten stellen sich nun als Wahnsinnige heraus, die das Land an sich reißen wollen. Die Kämpfe sind schnell vorbei, den letzten entscheidet Moka mit ihrem Jojo. Doch dann taucht Kokoa auf, Tsukune stolpert und Moka-sama beendet das Chaos.</p>

Minorin und Taiga gehen in die vollen, um Ami bloßzustellen: da stellt man auch schonmal ihre Fettpolster in der Pause zur Schau. Danach ist die Schule aus, also ab nach Haus; Ami taucht auf und hinter ihr her ist ein Fotograf. Taiga bewirft den Typen mit einer Mülltonne und nimmt die verängstigte Ami mit nach Hause. Dort erwartet sie ein 6 stündiger Imitationscontest. Die Arme&#8230; Kushieda bittet die Beiden nun gleich noch, sich mal wieder um Ami zu kümmern, also gibts mit Minorin noch Lunch. Ami wundert sich, dass das Essen von Taiga und Ryuji so gleich aussieht, Minorin pfeift vor sich her, und Taiga schluckt schließlich die ganzen NAhrungsmittel runter. Danach gibts städtische Müllbeseitigung, und Taiga überredet Ryuji, mitzumachen. Minorin und Ami sind logischerweise auch dabei. Nach einem kleinen Streit trennt man sich, und Ryuji irrt mit Ami herum, die sich mal wieder von ihrer besten Seite gibt. Dann gibts Regen und der Fotograf taucht wieder auf, also verstecken. Sie erzählt Ryuji von diesem Stalker, wegen dem sie von ihren Eltern weggezogen ist, und sich pausenlos mit Süßigkeiten vollstopft. Schließlich kommen Taiga und Minorin vorbei, er macht ein paar Fotos von ihr und kriegt dafür die Mülltüte ins Genick, also ergreift er die Flucht. Ami sieht schließlich ein, dass sie einfach mal ihre wahre Persönlichkeit rauslassen sollte, verfolgt den Typen durch die Stadt und zerschmettert schließlich mit hämischem Lächeln seine Kamera.</p>
