Death’s Notes and Thoughts

And here we have one of the lulz. I found this old video (finally subbed!) of MiniMoni (a subgroup of Morning Musume) doing some funny stuff with lockers and the fact that they’re just 1.50 m. Here we go:

This is another future that the Cold War has continued for 140 years. The earth is divided into two worlds, the East Block and the West Block. Under the false peace keeps its balance by the meanance of nuclear, two worlds continued their war. What does Mylene Hoffman see in the conflicts of spies living in bloodless world? [taken from AnimeNFO] Lets get straight to the point, 009-1 is supposed to be an agent anime but it hardly feels like one. It starts with the design of it, its unusual. I wont say its bad just not suited in my eyes for a series and especially not for a agent/spy series. This kinda design would be intresting for a movie with some kinda deeper message and that kinda story, that looks first weird but if you think some on it become clear. Aside from the design of this series is the story a bit disappointing. I was expeciting some kinda thrilling episode story and maybe if we’re lucky a bigger thing behind that gets solved at the end or maybe is supposed to be a open end for another season. But actually we get some action but without the thrill, its not even a bit exciting, more its predictable what will happen or how it will end. Also the end wasnt too good, they tried to raise the speed and give the story a “BAM”-element to make a great end but the outcome was a merge “plop”. Sure a thread to human kind can make a intresting thing but still it gets kinda lame if the hide-and-seek and the big endfight are missing. No, this anime is definitly not what one would expect of it, so i suggest to leave it away. :getlost:

The trailers are maybe nice looking but the real thing isnt half as good, for those who like this kinda genere i suggest watching Detective Agency Q or Dirty Pair. Those have what they promise!

Once upon a time, in New York City in 1941… at this club open to all comers to play, night after night, at a club named “Minston`s Play” House in Harlem, they play jazz sessions competing with each other. Young jazz men with a new sense are gathering. At last they created a new genre itself. They are sick and tired of the conventional fixed style jazz. They`re eager to play jazz more freely as they wish then… in 2071 in the universe… The bounty hunters, who are gathering in the spaceship BEBOP, will play freely without fear of risky things. They must create new dreams and films by breaking traditional styles. The work, which becomes a new genre itself, will be called… “COWBOY BEBOP” [stolen like always from AniDB] Hell, its quite a good anime. I mean i was seeing this one years back and was saying wtf… leave me alone, but now i got me. I’m not saying its great and perfect and stuff, but its good. Its the kind of Space/Action Anime i like and its rare. Its one of these non-space war but space-action animes like well it reminded me on Dirty Pair, which is also a space-action anime. I mean usually when u search for space action/adventure u get these WOW-WAR anime, where two sides fight against eachother and u find yourself with your hero inbetween these. But thats not it, sure i watch such but i like the different stuff more . What made me watching it, was the fact i got my hands on the 720p release of the Bepop Movie by THORA. And it made me want more. I just loved the character combination. U got the ex-police man Jet, a quite agressive but more strategic char, then u have Spike, the dude that can get quite hotheaded but still if he wants something he’s like his partner Jet, he dont let it go and catch it. The next that joins the party is Faye, a woman that loves the play and cause of this and other circumstance have her lil’ probs^^, she can be nice but inside she’s a devil. And last but not least we have Ed (Eddo), the hacker girl, she is quite crazy and if u see her u think she’s just a dumb kid but she have her skills. Beside her way of beeing cause a lot of fun. Also they got during the series Ein, a dog thats also special in his own ways. This party gets on bounty hunt and that is definitly quite entertaining. During the series they try to prepare the big end and do well… but in the ed they mess up. it should be some how dramatic but for the real deal in dramatic stuff u need more then 2 episodes. But well the rest of the series make quite up for this fact, maybe i’m not sensetive enought to get the ending in the right way !? who knows… me not :tongue: . What i liked at the ending of the series was the saying of that old indian: “Do not fear death. Death is always at your side. When you show fear, it will spring at you faster then light. If you do not show fear, it will only gently look over you…”. Its one of this worldly wisdoms u can find in anime. I like such stuff, that also the cause why i love xxxHolic. Also the music of this anime is extreme stylish and very good done. It matches most the time perfect and gives u that good feeling that i find most the time on older anime series (and with older i mean even older ones as this). Anyway i hope i could gave u some insight and raise your intrest for it. Here like usual u get the trailers, this time english dubbed, didnt found japanese dub/eng sub ones. First is for the series, 2nd is for the movie (and i like the dub for the movie trailer, the voices are matching… rare but with these i’m ok).

Enjoy…

I found this lil’ bit weird british comedy series at youtube. Its named “Balls of Steel” and got around 12 Episodes. The Format: There are a total of 12 acts. In each episode, six acts compete with one of them being the winner from the previous episode. At the end of each episode the studio audience has to decide which act was the nerviest, or had the biggest ‘Balls of Steel’ by voting on a keypad. The winner is the contender with the most votes, and wins a trophy in the shape of testicle. [Stolen from Wikipedia]. Its pretty weird and remind me somehow on the good old jackass… i have fun with it^^ and i hope u too :-p .Here is the best of compilation:

Renton Thurston is a 14-year-old boy who lived with his mechanic grandfather in a backwater town. Every day he dreamed of being with the mercenary “Light Finding Operation (LFO)” aircraft pilot group “Gekkostate” and riding “Trapar” particle waves (a sport called “reffing”) with their charismatic leader Holland, especially when faced with his father’s acclaimed past or his grandfather’s desire to protect him. When a young girl named Eureka riding the original LFO, the “Nirvash typeZERO”, asks his grandfather for a tune-up, she inadvertently brings the attention of the military to the garage; as a result, the garage is destroyed and Renton is forced to deliver a new type of interface (the “Amita Drive”) to the Nirvash. After a heated fight in which the Nirvash destroys the military LFOs by unleashing an immense amount of power, Renton is invited into Gekkostate. However, he quickly realizes that behind the facade of a traveling group of mercenaries is a very bitter reality. [stolen from ANN] Its a not too bad mecha with a quite intresting story and a extreme annoying enempy… i just hated that guy and his arrogant way of beeing. He gave me the feeling to want to punch him and punch him. The lovly-dovly parts sometimes made me also a bit annoyed but hell its part of the story… but on the other hand they’re liked it said needed cause thats what i liked on this series, the characters envolved. They envolve a new and different characters and ways of beeing unlike many other series where they character is in his way pretty stable and if you’re happy gets insane/evil due some circumstances. Also the relationship of Eureka and Renton develop pretty realistic, maybe its a bit more extreme but the basic ways are the same of a normal relationship which i miss sometimes also in other anime. The mechas are ok, there enemy mechas are the only where i miss difference they’re pretty much the same the whole series long as if they didnt have much different types/series of mecha but since the story isnt about their mechas its can be considered as a sidemark of me. All together it was a good and entertaining anime.

Devil May Cry follows the adventures of the demon hunter Dante who himself is half demon and half human. Dante is hired through his own business named “Devil May Cry”. The characters are based off of the popular capcom playstation 2 games. And thats it :wassat: . DMC is a anime thats good for watching aside, its good drawn, has a very good quality in cases of the picture (i enjoyed AonE-Conclaves 720p version) and intresting chars. I must admit i never played the DMC games cause i dont own a PlayStation of any kind (1,2,3). But nothingless i enjoyed this anime, just the end was bit… hmm… short i guess but ok. I hope u will enjoy this anime as much as I did.

I just finished watching Kenkoo Zenrakei Suieibu Umishou, an anime with the main topic swimming. The story is about a student named Kaname Okimura which attends to the Prefectoral Umineko Shougyou High (short “Umisho”). He joined the swimming club in order to learn how to swim but he has bad luck since the club is filled with weirdos. Then later a always-happy girl named Amuro Ninagawa get transfered from Okinawa to the Umisho and joins the swim club. She has extraordinary underwater swimming skills and is very fast. Also her style of swimming is unorthodox, and she have a habit for nude-swimming (its ecchi, ya know ), which is attract the boys. All this together surprise the club members especially Okimura, because she reminds him on a mermaid-like create he saw once in his childhood. His all create a very funny anime. U got many known elements of a good ecchi anime combined with a unusual story. (at least i dont remember a swim anime like this^^) Who plans to watch should dont have probs with boob-shots and boob-related jokes/stuff, since this gets a lot used in it instead of the normal panty shots, but in swimming gear is no panty so well… :tongue: I had a lot fun on Makio, a first year student that really easy belive stuff/get hyped easy and always search for a way to grow her boobs^^. she is wonderful clumpsy, but u got also much more funny chars like the team-captain that have a habit for shaving ppl (no matter which grender^^) or Shizuka, a ojou-san that is outside very prude but inside^^. What i also enjoyed was that they dont added not story-related stuff like school life and stuff… the story concentrate on its topic, swimming. So u see them at the pool, the ocean or later at the tournaments. If u enjoy ecchi, u should give this one a try, its quite funny. Here is the trailer, maybe it shows/explain it a bit better to u then me.

C ya~
