Shameless Fanservicing

Okay, I won't be the last to admit, I'd probably be the first to raise my hand, that I like planes and I like anime.

Anyway, recently this anime called Strike Witches by Funamation caught my attention. Actually the first time I saw it in Newtype USA before they stopped issuing them out, and being that I like jet's and anime I caught my attention. It's actually a cool idea but. . .kinda stupid.

I've grown use to how pure illogical some anime can be. Strike Wtiches is one of them that takes the cake. . .and the trophy and your silverwear.

From watching the trailer on the site it's basically the Navy/Airforce take a new route on how to destroy alien invaders. Okay I can see that, but I haven't finished yet. They use cute young looking girls (don't they always), put plane parts on their legs and take away their pants leaving them with nothing but their swimming-suite-looking bottom's.

Now tell me, doesn't that sound like the stupidest shit ever? Because it is. But hell, I'd probably buy the figures if they had a resonable price tag on them.

Mind you, the idea all together is stupid (why would the military use girls with plane parts on their legs (and no pants) to fight alien invaders?)

I'm still going to see if I can find it somewhere on the net and watch.

Don't get me wrong, I know better not to judge a book (or is this case anime) by is cover, so I need to watch. But still. It's sounds so stupid it makes me laugh.

Oh and I almost forgot; they have animal ears and tails. . .wth? How pointless is that?!

Stupid Screen-shots

If you can't tell, or just don't know, the following is from an old kids anime show called Medabot's. Still attempting to catch up on watching it, but I haven't been watching much anime here lately.

1st episode? Idk but close to it. B/c Medabee is a insect/beetle type Medabot he's attracted to the Melon. It's a funny scene.

I just like Rokusho's expression. That and the scene just before it is hilarious.

lol at Medabee

Top left hand corner. Mr. Referee and that guy that always has the baby chickens.

And, no, I don't r/m which episodes these came from.

Review: Gundam Seed

Not a book this time! It's anime, this go.

Finished Gundam Seed a day or two ago. I'd really like to compare it to Destiny, Astray, and it's movies but I haven't gotten that far. So I can't do that yet.

Anyhoo. Spoilers. Just to let you know, for those whom haven't seen it.

Seed was great. Though, like normal either a anime is to drawn out or not drawn out enough. Seed was drawn out in a lot of places and several of the episodes I just had it playing as a background noise/have attention while I did other stuff. But of course when several of the arch's started rolling around and getting more intense they got more interesting.

I have to admit, there was one or two parts that I can say I didn't see coming. Like Kira waking up at Clyne's place. I went WTF and Klaga dieing near the end, not cool man.

I think my favorite (can you call it favorite?) was when, later on in the episodes close to the end, when Freedom got it's head blown off. Then, like, and episode (maybe in the same episode) they somehow popped one back on like a Revoltech. Okay, yeah, its anime and what knot but how what the hell. They just randomly have Gundam head's lying around?! I lol'd hard.

Lacus Clyne. I have to admit, she turned out better as a charater that I thought she was. She's girly but ended up being a very serious calm, level headed person in the end. I didn't suspect that, but I liked it.

Enough rambling, that's about the jist of it for me.

Overall, Seed was a great show, little lenghty at parts, but worth it I suppose. It's a watch at least.

4 out of 5 stars :)

New Halo Legend Comic Con Teaser

When it comes anything film related, whether it be blockbuster movies or TV show's you see on ABC, NBC or BBC people tell you that it's not always the company or how the shows made (graphics etc) it's the story line that makes a good show. And depending on the genre of show or movie its the extra humor or the or the extra details to explosions.

While a good story line is always good to have it never ceases to have good graphics, CGI and other various forms of animation to the extra touch. Say, compare Industrail Light and Magic and Disney/Pixar to crappy horror movies and SyFy's (previously known as Si-fi since last month) fantasy flicks and their crappy dragons and various other monsters. Don't get me wrong I love watching SyFy just not their original movies. Sorry SyFy fans.

But when you combind Studio 4°C (which is a new studio for me but what I have seen with what they work on they're usually involed in some cool shit), Production I.G, Bones (effing awesome), and Toei Animation, and whoever the hell Casio Ent. is, you know you're in for something good.

So getting down to the point of this. One word: Halo. Halo has succesfully taken the world by storm. And from what I know. You either hate or love it, nothing inbetween it. And for those of you who hate it, quick bitching about people who do and just let Halo fans be. I'd love being more of a Halo fan but I don't have ready access to an Xbox or whatever. I have though seen a couple reviews on ATOS, other TV shows and a couple bits on random internet sites. Naturally I was left impressed. After hearing that a new animation was going to be released and some Anime at that I knew now I just had to wait. And it's been about time.



Despite being only a couple shorts it looks promising, yes? Oh, btw, totally want the soundtrack :D

Eureka Seven - Good Night, Sleep Tight, Young Lovers

I just so happened to see an add while searching through a site, and noticed it and just couldn't help but click on it because I'm a fan. Eureka Seven(7), a show that broadcasted on Adult Swim about a year to two years ago is now getting its own movie. 'Bout time. Though obviously it being Anime it's already been released in Japan but now it's getting some show time or more acurate, theather time. Naturally selected cinema's nation wide here in the states. Me, while yeah I'd like to see it on the big screen I'll probably wait till it hits the DVD's and pick it up when I get the money and the chance.

Here's a link to Bandai Entertainment's offical site for the movie.

It's suppose to be airing Septemer 24, 2009 (selected theathers) for one night only. Why I couldn't tell you. So if you wanna catch it you'd better have better memory than I do:)

Check it!
