Wed, 20 September 2006 News: In the news this week Gosho Aoyama creator of such mangas as Magic Kaito, Yaiba, and a little unknown show called Detective Conan gets a museum. All I’m saying is where’s the Ed museum. Also all hops of the series Air Master and Slam Dunk finishing have been crushed this week as Geneon announced that they will not be distributing anymore of Toei’s dvds. Central Park Media not so dead….. CPM still seems to be kicking as they announced a deal with google to stream some of there shit. And when I say shit I mean good stuff…. Also a movie from a manga that won’t die as Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures will be made into a movie.
Reviews: I talked about the OAV for any old school arcade fan Arcade Gamer Fubuki. I guess only people that spent most of there childhood in arcade (Dan and me) would even think of watching this show. Most due to the fact that most of the comedy in this show comes from parity humor. A lot of parity of arcade games and anime. With a real shallow story and comedy that comes far and in-between I would wait till CPM goes out of business (cuz we know its coming) and get this dvd on the cheap if only if the subject matter seems good to you. Dan talks about bread……………and the anime Yakitate Japan(if you would have heard Dan at anime expo when our friend brought his laptop to our hotel room and said lets watch some Yakitate Japan Dan responded with “hey I’m not going to sit here and watch anime about a guy making bread….. Now someone put some more rum in my mug� now he seems to be turned around on the subject. So as Dan explain Yakitate is less about bread as it is a vehicle for parity humor with constant comedy Dan really enjoyed this 69 eps series. Scott talked about ADVs first release Devil Hunter Yohko. About well a chick who kills fucken devils. Hit us up Chibitokyo@gmail.com

Mon, 11 September 2006 More notes later Preview: Dan once again decided to talk about a sports anime Ashita no Joe. Being one of the fist sports anime to start the scene. It started getting fansub about a year ago it soon stopped after 3 eps. Hopefully the show gets license but the only company I bet who would even look at this is animigo. So hopefully the group starts subbing them again or Dan is going to have to get him self the HKs.
Review: I talked about the hard to pronouns title Yoki Koto KIku. Labeled as a dark comedy most jokes come in the way of parity humor. This isn't really a bad thing its just that I don't know enough about Comments[0] |
Sat, 2 September 2006 News is pretty dull again. But...
Mitsuru Adachi's series "Rough" is going to be produced into a live action movie. Ed and probably 3 other people are super pumped about this.
Full Metal Alchemist is the #1 manga sold in 2005. Series is still going on in japan. Other good manga titles in the list are Fruits Baskets and Naruto. There might be others, but these are the only ones we care about.
Summer Season Segment: A moei type anime that focuses on 2 positive sisters' lives as poor students. That's pretty much it. Ed wouldn't reccomend it and won't watch anymore and Dan is interested enough to give it more of a chance.
Dan reviewed the manga Zombie Hunter. This is an action title that is very much about zombie HUNTING... kind of. Alot of sex, alot of violence. Very simple action anime. Fans of no nonsense violence will like this, so Dan will most likely keep tabs on this.
Ed reviewed Mermaid Sage the manga. A collection of short stories comprised of Forest, Gaze and Scar. This series comes from Rumiko Takahashi, so naturally Ed will love it. It's really about evil mermaids and immortal humans and all the fantastic violence that ensues. Fans of Rumiko Takahashi will very likely love this, but apparently not many other people will.

because if "chibi" wasn't in it, it wouldn't be about anime. |
