What I've watched this Week: Animation Blow-Out
SpilledMilk | 6:16 AM on 05.30.2009 2 comments


Eden of East

This one gone awry, very much so that I'm worried about the shows story. But lets recap what happened before. We got to learn more of the Selecao and the rules of their group. And while the audience slowly inures to the plot and the characters, things go awry. I talk about the last half of the seventh episode. WTF! The female Selecao was cutting male genitalia of as a part to help the mankind? Isn't there some direct social problem the writer could tackle instead something so outlandish?

And what was the black wings shit? I don't know what I should expect next. Anyone watching this show?

K-On

The last two episodes made something clear to me about this series. The outcome of their first show decided on how would view the show in the future. I love Beck, because it's shows pretty realistic (okay, as realistic as a anime can be) picture of the music scene and how it's to be in a band. And I wished the same of K-On just with an insight on how women experience those steps of becoming a musician in a band.
Suffice to say, that K-On will be a lighthearted anime and never reach a real profound depth of other animes, but that doesn't make the anime a bad one.

Every episode yet was solid to very good, plus the animation are sharp and colorful and certify K-On for the best anime in this season.

However, only for this season, then I'd doubt if I ever would watch the series after it's finished.

Tori no Uta (eng. The song of the bird.)

What a bore. I'm really starting to think that Mr. Amano's paintings don't work when there are animated. Plus, it gets worse when the animation looks like flash. The story is mediocre and seems
decent, but the animation fails to deliver some gravitas to both, the characters and the story.
Sorry Amano, I'll continue to be in awe for your work but not when there presented like this. Why
don't you do another design for, lets say, Gatchaman?


Gunsmith Cats

I bought the OVA when I was pretty young and probably wasn't allowed to buy. Nonetheless, I had a chance to watch it again, and realized how well this series was produced. I knew of Sonoda's passion for weapons and cars, but this series is practically "Lethal Weapon".
...
Really, it is. Look at it again after you considered:

- ...that Rally and Minnie are partners with same characteristics as Murtaugh and Riggs. One of them just wants to settle down, and the other one is always teasing her with this exciting and dangerous side of their lives.

- They don't really care when they kill someone.

- Every harmless case evolves into this large scale mission to save the day and the city.

I know that these are pretty general arguments and that, considering what the show is trying to capture, it's logical to see some connections to famous action movies of that time, but just watch it again with that in mind. And you'll say everytime: "Shot 'em, Riggs!", as your watching it.

The genius of that show is that it shares the same universe with the (superior) Riding Bean and that should say enough. It's frikkin' Riding Bean. The guy with the hair, finesse, style and the motherfuckin' car! Speaking of cars, the fact that Sonoda's original is full with detail suffers a little bit in the animation. Some of the details are slightly reduced, however the weapons and cars still look very realistic. In short summarization, Gunsmith Cats is one of those hidden gems in animation and hold up pretty stellar to its contemporaries.

Plus, the group has 6 tits. Chew on that.

Gunsmith Cats was ok... The animation quality is really high but the stories we're pretty shallow.

 about me

About me:

I'm Mike and probably the second nicest person you'll meet after your mother (see!). I played off and on for a while, and got into it with Final Fantasy 7 and Marvel vs. Capcom. Afterwards, I played occasionally some of the interesting and famous titles on the ps2. I avoided the internet due its high intolarance factor and annoying trolls, and spent most of the time with my first love, Comics. Having never really turned my back fully on games, I decided to backtrack various gems of the gaming past. A couple of month later, I searched for a informative gaming site and found Destructoid.

Actually, I was googling gaming+tits amd landed here.

Currently playing:
- Mother 3 [If the game is as good as the first 3 hours, then this game might become my favorite JRPGs)

- Marvel vs. Capcom 2 [The Classic!]
- Warsow [An independent quake-esque shooter with cel shading graphics and pigs)
