#251 Nazo no Kanojo X anime

Just finished 1st episode of Mysterious girlfriend X anime and I will praise the studio, animation stuff and voice actors for god tier adaptation.

Years ago goe showed me this strangely drawn manga with guy tasting one girls saliva and that was the moment I fell for it.
Recently I was talking with friends how anime with high school as setting are annoying but this one is so well made (and I'm fan boy of original manga) so I take my words back, just a bit.

Strange, but after watching first episode, images and memories of Earth Girl Arjuna started poping out in my head. Arjuna had huge impact on me and soundtrack from series is in my humble opinion best of Yoko Kanno's works up to day. With all the respect for Cowboy Bebop she wrote much more mature (as an artist) material for Arjuna.
But back to the MGX it got fantastic score as well. Floating between J.A.Seazer score for "Midori" and Joe Hisaishi's music for few Ghibli movies like Sen to Chihiro.
As for animation it's as well, really good. Riichi sensei style is very characteristic and not easy to animate yet producting studio made moving pin-ups of Uechiba Riichi's drawings. And with todays "moments" animation trend this series really stands out.

Even if it was crap I would most likely say at least few good words about it so if you are looking for anime without puke-sweet-fucking lolis but with weird and perverted background this is it.

It's after Xmas and I think biggest surprise is confirmed Mysterious Girlfriend X anime, a few day old news I found on my RSS.

What will be Urabe's voice? will it be made by MADHOUSE, same studio that did Richii's Yume Tsukai?

Uhh, the excitement!

Meine Damme und Herre, today is official retro day! (yay) for me.
I found some good retro anime openings and so on YT while browsing memes.

First I will show you, my dear readers a clip which in opening already got 'moments' (well known in the genre, spreading in latest productions).

Totsugeki!

Well, what to say if Misty sings OP & ED (pokémon joke, yeah my bad)

Frankly, I gonna so check it out later some day as it got this so missed by me flow of the older series.

Ok, nect clip will be Hatusmei Boy Kanipan. I don`t know this series and by it looks it`s yet another morning show for kids or rather boys as main duo is boy-genius (?) and his robot but what caught my attention is band behind this song - BAAD. If you want to shout out loud "I love you!" or just watched Slam dunk anime, you already know this group.

Is it me or does the pink-haired girl looks like... Washu Hakubi?

Ok, moving on there will be this clip.
I don't know how many of you ever heard of it as it again is your regular morning show entitled Jiku tantei Genshikun. I watched it on Swiss/German RTL2 and didn't like it at all when it was airing. Song was obviously reworked and in German but as I look at it now there is cool traced choreography and green-hair villain girl is in full S&M latex outfit so me like it nao hahahaha

And the song itself is nice, it sounds like late 90's miss Yoko Oginome but am not 100% sure. 


Medabots is series I reaaaaaly enjoyed much because of the fantastic animation style it had. I have no idea who was key/head animator or chara designer but I loved the show just for the style of animation.



And if I'm already wetting my pants out of excitement, why not remind you this show:

Yes. Oban Star Racers! It got similar animation style but it's obviously much newer and had bigger budget as there was some contribution by Queen of Soundtracks, Yoko Kanno.
Oban SR is interesting from production view as well - it is joint project mixing French story and Japanese animation. Story is nothing new but show is really solid one.


Digimontamers was in my opinion best monster themed series I've event seen.
At the time when watched it, there was fabulous setting and story, great twists in plot and even better characters. I had great crush upon Ruki/Rika and ending was always tearing my heart, oh the cherished memories...

And if it came to this there's last videos I will put here.


Gotta re-watch and re-read this.
Really.

#209 /PINK HERBIE! FFS WIN!

Just finished watching micro marathon of Mezzo anime - those 4 episodes were really... well...
Ok again from the point A.

Mezzo Is overall good series with great if not my all time favorite setting: group of people who at some point crossed each others life-path and are now working and living together doing some serious and dangerous businesses because they are hired guns (and fists). JEEEEEEEZ'D MAH PANTSU
Oh my god. This is lovely and fantastic setting! Series like Black Lagoon or Cowboy Bebop are exactly the same oh yes oh yes oh yes.
Khem.

So! Mezzo is about trio consistent of former police officer, naïve guy who makes androids and kung-fu fan-service girl. There is also side kicking rori, Miura-chan. Oh right names: Suzuki Mikura, the kung-fu chick; Kurokawa  Ken'ichi ex-cop and Harada Tomohisa, the droid guy.

Briefly: this trio is living in a old brittish double-decker bus which is sitting on top of an actual building. How cool is that? Put any machine, bus, plane or another building on top of primary one and it will be cool just like that. Or, equal, make it a dump area adapted for living or old wrecked plane. How cool is that? I tell you! It's 20% cooler~

So yeah, I've had watched 3½ episodes to be exact, as I was finishing second part of episode 5, and I really truly enjoyed the show despite some classic in the genre 'moments'. Particular there always are poor or worse moments made by rushed scenes or comical and fully accidental anatomy (classic: singing Lina and Amelia from Slayers... Slayers Next(?) with their super chibi heads or also from Slayers, strangely angled hand of Lina Inverse in the last seconds of ending). Animation is overall good and the show itself didn't aged that much. Series got 8 years and is still looking fresh but small pieces like memory card in 'T' shape can uncover it BUT I admit, I am sometimes moved by those little things yet sometimes it just blends (MiniDiscs in NGE for example was a bit flashy when I was watching it in early 2000's but now as am dreaming of having one of those sexy MD players, I really watch it with broad smile).

Each episode tells a different story and ends with more or less cheesy ending.
And it's not a bad thing. Hell, no! It's just that sometimes I'm fed with obvious stories and other day am looking for those. Today must be the day when I look for your regular action & tits show and Mezzo DSA (Danger Service Agency) is bulls eye hit. And that double-decker on the building rooftop oh go-o-o-d! So good!

Ah so yeah, to tell y`all I really am back on with the anime and manga & gaming. I really just needed short (about 3-6 week) break and there's still Canadian mate called Scott Pilgrim waiting for me to read all the adventures so this break just did broad my horizons.


That's all for this late hour - Mikura is waiting and I reall y want to finish the series as it got only 13 + prequel OVA made of 2 short episodes... there was manga? Gonna check it later!
Enjoy the OP of the series with great tune by the BARNABYS:

I AM!

But seriously I've just had read this thing: http://kielmaru07.wordpress.com/2010/06/04/life-stages-of-an-anime-weaboo/ and this is the most true shit that any otaku will agree.

Literally, you can see the stages (especially when socially recluded as stated here: link ) of yourself digging shit hole and going to the bottom and actually being pleased by those fucking cute moes...

 hate when this happens :c

I am really sleepy for about 5 hours now but decided not to sleep during the day to avoid being totally woke in the middle of the night.
My not so usual journey trough day was filled with strange guitar playing, walking and listening to the music, to be precise, abusing one track by Wamdue Project. Yes, to those who know, like me, only one song by this man - "King Of My Castle". Basically this song is some fat bass, pumping drums, warped flanger bridge, soem pitch noises, hand clapping and vocals provided by Gaelle Addison; more info on wikipedia.
So yeah, this song is rather iconic for my generation, especially in teh aspect of the upcoming fanaticism pointing modern visual culture of Japan. But to the point.
By the strong memories and urge of something GITS-like I dug. I dug trough web and found some cyberpunkish tittles that by unknown power I have had missed in my life span. Thing like Cyber City Oedo 808 which I even downloaded but couldn't stand the original score... Things like Neo Tokyo (anthology), Silent Moebius, Dead Or Alive trilogy and many books. I am thinking of looking for some classics like "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" also grown a little curiosity 'bout Millers "Ronin" six-piece.

Basically, there is a ton of works I am interested about and on top of that, I did even made my own noise/rural ambience song? -not sure what the genre is but I love how it worked both song music and video, but must re-work it because of the rather low quality.

You can watch it here (well it must process so check back in about 1hrs 40 minutes): http://vimeo.com/27875461

Just finished Hensemi and I'm a little disappointed.
Basically series focus about perversion which is covered with everything (already running into conclusions) and shows a small group of students doing some twisted researches for their monster-faced teacher.

What I was expecting from series from both setting and design to be more light.
To tell: I enjoyed it to the very last episode but it was like drinking teas with 6 spoons of sugar instead of eating anything meant to be sweat.
And I also wanted some better pairing. Really.
And Anna left me in despair!

In the end, I can tell that Hentai Seminar is just slightly better then Panty & Stockings with Garterbelt which I detest.

That's a shame imo but oh well, it's not like it's 90`s anymore.

This is for delayed... friday? From two weeks ago.

Giant robo mecha ordered by woman, magic... witch... which controls...  = _ =

I read today some essays and texts about evolution or changes in anime design and frankly if they could preserve early 90`s flow it would be super win.
With all my love and respect for GAINAX and so on, I hate some of the half or even quarter assed scenes they did, for example in some FLCL scenes. But this aside.

Animation in Japan is facing some troubles with it market itself.
There are tons of shows which are addressed to crazy otaku which will just watch anything with moe blobbish characters. And brutal + sex themed series witch, at some point, are somewhat better, but personally, instead of shocking pile of crap, I would like to be shocked by the extra twist of the very deep story. Or at least, be served with a story you could dive in.

I better end this, it's late, loosing my topic while writing and sleepy as well.

Drobne intermezzo.

Jest kilka starych, dobrych anime, które muszę obejrzeć. Patlabor, 5SS to dwa, które od około 12 lat chcę zobaczyć i właściwie, nie tylko z braku dobrej serii, ale ogólnie, z głodu czegoś trochę innego we wszystkich płaszczyznach, pora je obejrzeć.

Był też genialny film, bodajże, Mars Wars, który to zacząłem oglądać, ale właśnie- nie jestem pewien nawet tytułu...

Nie pamiętam też trackera. Ale nic to drobny research . . . . . . VENUS WARS! Znalazłem nawet najbrzydszy plakat do tego filmu! ha!

Mam też trailer, koszmarny kicz, ale serio, pierwsze 20 minut filmu zapowiadało się przyzwoicie.
Muzyke skomponował Joe Hisaishi (tak, ten od Ghibli) ale nie jestem pewien czy to na pewno dobrze.

Powiem szczerze, że o ile jego muzyka posuje do filmów, o tyle sama struktura czy brzmienie kompozycji często mnie drażni. Chociażby bezczelna zżynka z "lotu walkirii" w Ponyo, jak ów rybka, biegła po falach... Czasami takie momenty potrafią zabić lub wręcz, zamordować, cały film.

Ha, ha, ha - amerykańskie trailary potrafią komedię gangsterską sprzedać jako thriller psychologiczny. 

Jutro, lub pojutrze, pewnie obejrzę Venus Wars to będę mógł się w pełni wypowiedzieć o tej produkcji.

Oczywiście nie będę się męczyć amerykańskim dubem, nopey.

Poszukiwania trwaja, ale cos mi sie zdaje ze do 10 moge nie znalezc jakiejs pracy tymczasowej - nie wiem, przejde sie jeszcze kilka razy po okolicy, moze znowu pojade do centrum. Co jest 10? czesc juz wie, ze 10 zaczynam prace jako domestic helper. Mam wysokie oczekiwania, ze bedzie dobrze, bo jest to dobrze platna praca na conajmniej polrocznym kontrakcie.
Wole nawet nie liczyc ile moge zarobic, ale jak na pol etatu, jest to bardzo bardzo kasa.

Z innych rzeczy, kto spostrzegawczy, ten mogl dostrzec wtyczke fejsbukowa w bocznym panelu - jest to zwiazane z moim malym projektem, ktory ruszy, jak tylko sie rzeczy skoncza ukladac (ale zablokowalem adres juz teraz, zeby mnie nikt nie ubiegl :B). Jakos w ciagu 3-8 tygodni wszystko powinno byc gotowe i ruchliwe.

No i tak jak wisi na opisie gg, mam zamiar skonczyc ore no imouto ga... konna... ja ne... czy jak to tez tam caly tytul brzmi. A powod prosty: Kuroneko.

Imc goe (goe inc. ?) bystrze skomentowal Kuroneko: "ona jest tak tsundere ze to az wylewa sie z ekranu".

Zlota slowa moj przyjacielu.

Reanimowałem komiks z zakonnicami i zielarkami, zrobiłem prawie dwie plansze dzisiaj.

Wróciłem do czytania Gunsmith Cats - zbyt loli loli jest loli ale i tak wolę Cobrę i CZ.

A na dysku wykopałem świetne anime: Kimi ni Todoke - miłosne romansidło osadzone w czasach licalnego dorastania.

Jest drugi sezon nawet. A seiyuu głównej bohaterki grała też Nodokę z Negima?! i Ai z Jigoku no Shojo - ma przyjemnie niski, zaspany głos.
Głos to coś pięknego, chyaba jedna z najważniejszych rzeczy w człowieku - ja ostatnio seplenię i bełkoczę więc jestem brzydki. Szkoda.

Kiedyś (chyba nadal) xchiamiov z baka miał to na ava, a ja się głowiłem co to? odpowiedź prosta to Sawako-Sadako.

(btw. muszę zrobić post z samymi obrazkami z anime - the screencapture rapture on your ISP thread :I yah! )

Z innej beczki mój MAL ma już4 lata, to hmm, kolejny pomysł do zadumy :I

Dwudziesty post to już niczym jubileusz... albo i nie.

Pora na trochę... nie wiem, chcę pochwalić. O! Właśnie, pochwała!

Kiedym już naprawę znużony przestałem co tydzień, wyczekiwać na:

• Amagami SS
• Sora no Otoshimo FORTE (które to kiedyś skończę)
• Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
• Shinryaku! Ika Musume 

zostało mi:

• Bakuman
• Kuragehime 

odkryłem serię podobną do Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ale o dojrzalszym humorze.
Sam się zdziwiłem, ale właśnie tak - SZS z humorem jaki znany mi był dotychczas z seinenów i dobrych produkcji jak NGE (to też w seinen ale dzieciaki oglądają bo roboty i walki, i fogle (ok, są tam cycki... no dobra no! ale wiadomo że jednak 18/21+ to lepiej zrozumie niż 13+).

The Tatami Galaxy albo 四畳半神話大系(Yojou-han Shinwa Taikei) jest urzekającą historią o losie, przeznaczeniu, zgubie i miłości. Trochę jak Genshiken ale za Tatami odpowiada MAD house, więc czego innego się spodziewać jak jakiejś psychotyki psychodelicznej? (ok... więc Soremachi też zrobił Mh... I ONO TEŻ JEST DZIKAWE! OKE? ...no.)

Kreska jest dobra - prosta i z charakterem.

Historie zakręcone jak loki małej, austrackiej księżniczki Piflipundy.

A Akashi (której głosu podłożyła Maaya Sakamoto - serio?! ok, ma u mnie dużego plusa w takim razie!) to tak boleśnie, dobitnie i szczerze tsundere dziewczyna... nie w sumie raczej tsun-tsun chociaż ma otoczkę dere-dere [genshiken talk: ON!]...

No i jest pijacki bóg co mi się kojarzy z kowbojem z Yojimbo.

Zaraz 4 odcinek sobie obejrzę, i spać.


Ending jest genialny.

O boże, o bożę~

Nowy odcinek Princess Jellyfish i na dodatek, mam pierwszy komentarz~I fail in life, I rule in nolife!

Pierwsze śliwki, robaczywki.

Właśnie obejrzałem 20 odcinek Amagami SS. Seria wróciła na właściwe tory, jeśli chodzi o fabułę, a i animacja nie jest już tak słaba jak w dwóch poprzednich rozdziałach.

Ponad to, zacząłem oglądać "World God only knows" - chyba najbardziej dla openingu. Czołówka i cały kawałek są świetne ale jak Rush słusznie zauważył, opening próbuje pokazać że seria jest bardziej epicka niż jest. Jeśli komuś się podoba TYLKO czołówka to odsyłam do "Eden of the East" z którego wciąż dwa filmy na mnie czekają. I poczekają na pewno do piątku co najmniej.

A oto i op do WGOK (ten skrót brzmi koszmarnie...) :

Oraz pełna wersja kawałka, to jak 3 w 1 ale lepsze!

 

Ponieważ kawałek na dziś był, podzielę się również moją tapetą - spod piórka i tabletu mistrza Geistera:

kliknij w nią! no już! wiem że... good :3

 A, i jak coś, to gra "Battle Forge" hostowana przez EA to kupa (moim zdaniem). Straszny chaos, lag, nieogarnięcie jednostek i zmiany w grafice wymagają resetu całej gry... 3.7GB? No, thank you.

No i kupiłem sobie śmieszny mikrofon za 9,80zł oraz kolejny cienkopis - tym razem 0.05 - po co mi rastry jak sam mogę je rysować?! MUAHAHAHAHA!
