• Anime Update (07/25/08)

  Another updatezorz. Gundam 00 HG-Models: The new models for the new gundams are already previewed. Here is the 00 Gundam (The New Exia Gundam) Source  Here is the new Cherudim Gundam (The New Dynames Gundam) Source And that's all for Gundam 00. In other news, the new Death Note movie was just released subbed. The name of the movie is "L - Change the World" it's a continuation of the other two death note movies. It is based on L's last 23 days alive. He only has 23 days because he had written his own name in the Death Note and you are only allowed to control someone with a death note for 23 days. In this movie, he solves many cases and there are scenes with other letters of Watari's group of elite detectives. It has the letters K and F in it and in the end, N (Near) is born. Note, this is not related to the Anime Death Note it is just merely an alternative ending. I find it better than the anime because of the way L handled himself against Kira. But anyway, still a good movie to watch if you have seen the other two movies.   The Anime Crew DarkMidoriko and Doded (O ' -')--{==>    <('.

  And yet again...another update teehee Yakushiji Ryoko No Kaiki Jinkenbo (Ryoko's Case Files): First episode of this anime turned out pretty good, very interesting. It's about a couple of police detectives who investigate supernatural events, the first episode was about people instantly mummifying which was pretty cool, it was like they dehydrate at first then all the oxygen in side of them bursts out of their body, too bad the body doesnt actually explode =P Ryoko's Case Files Website   Koihime Musou: About a group of people who are trying to defend the world from bandits, not really the greatest but meh...

So far only episode one has been released. Here's a summary of the anime. (ANN) Natsume Takashi has the ability to see spirits, which he has long kept secret. However, once he inherits a strange book that belonged to his deceased grandmother, Reiko, he discovers the reason why spirits surround him.

• Anime Update (07/10/08)

  And here is another updatez, yetz againz. Zero no Tsukaima - Princess no Rondo: Third Season of Zero no Tsukaima was a decent show. Naruto Shippuuden Filler: The only fillers that you should watch should be Episodes 64+ it gets interesting because Konoha becomes underattack Bleach Filler: Just became interesting, the new third seat turns out to be a bad boy =P hopefully better action soon. Gundam Season 2 Info: (Aeug) The official site updated several pages with Season 2 info. Story: "2312 A.D. 4 years since the final battle between Celestial Being and the UN Forces. Humanity, having established the Earth Sphere Federation, forms an independent security preservation force, Arrows, separate from the formal Federation army to further unify nations and the will of mankind. But the reality was the inhumane oppression of anti-government powers, doctrines & ideologies in the name of unity. Saji Crossroad, who followed the path to becoming a space engineer to keep a promise to Louise Halevy and fulfill a dream, is also compelled to become involved in Federation government reform. Meanwhile, Setsuna F. Seiei, surviving the final battle 4 years ago, saw the future of the world that had been changed by Celestial Being. With the defeat of guardian Alejandro Corner, he dreamed of a peaceful world without conflict. But before his own eyes was the reality of the continuing strain on peace, the oppression caused by Arrows. He decides once more to fight with Gundam, the power with the potential to change the world. Where will Setsuna's and Saji's paths take them as the world is set into motion once more?" Tagline (in contrast to the first season tagline "Rebirth begins through destruction"): "(We will) destroy the rebirth" Characters: Setsuna F. Seiei "21-years-old. A fated child soldier from the Middle East's Republic of Krugis. Saved by the 0 Gundam during that time and became a Gundam Meister with Celestial Being. 4 years after the battle with allied forces, what does he think of as he looks at the world newly unified by the Earth Sphere Federation...?" Lockon Stratos "29-years-old. A member of Celestial Being and pilot of the marksman-type Keldim Gundam. Heads into battle with Haro." Allelujah Haptism "24-years-old. From the HRL's Superhuman Institute and pilot of the retired Gundam Kyrios. Went missing after the fierce battle with allied forces 4 years ago. He seems to have had a past with super soldier Soma Peries from the same Superhuman Institute..." Tieria Erde "Age unknown. Injured in the decisive final battle with allied forces 4 years ago, he was rescued by Celestial Being and did his best in their reconstruction. While he once followed Veda's judgment absolutely, he now looks for the meaning in combat through his own decisions." Mecha: GN-0000 00 Gundam Pilot: Setsuna F. Seiei "Gundam Exia's successor unit. Its greatest feature is its 2 GN Drives equipped on the shoulders. This allows it to boast particle emisson volumes surpassing all other units." Keldim Gundam Pilot: Lockon Stratos "Gundam Dynames' successor unit. It also supports sniper combat to reflect the characteristics of its pilot." Arios Gundam Pilot: Allelujah Haptism "Gundam Kyrios' successor unit. Similar to the Kyrios, it has the ability to transform. It can be said that it's suited for high-speed movement." Selavii Gundam Pilot: Tieria Erde "Gundam Virtue's successor unit. A heavy armament model similar to the Virtue. Equipped with GN cannons on both shoulders that boast greater firepower than the Virtue. " (/Aeug) In conclusion....KICK ASS UPDATE LOCKON STILL ALIVE!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!! New Gundams look better too  The Anime Crew DarkMidoriko and Doded (O ' -')--{==>    <('. '<) Posted Jul 09 2008, 11:17 PM by DarkMidoriko with no comments

• Anime Update (07/08/08)

  Another update from the list of anime in the previous post. Birdy the Mighty Decode: Don't watch this...stupid storyline, about an alien interstellar investigator who accidently kills an innocent human and now she is living in side that human so that she could heal him. On other news...Gundam 00 Season 2 info came out, hopefully it is real and hopefully it is not =( Gundam 00 Season 2 Info (Aeug) Official info for season 2 of Gundam 00 just started to leak out. Note: Source pics weren't the most legible so these are subject to correction. Thanks to 2ch posters, who also puzzled out what they could. Characters: Setsuna F. Seiei - 21-years-old. Lived as a boy soldier in his native Kurdish and became a Gundam Meister with Celestial Being. Engaged in one-on-one combat with Graham in a final battle. Went missing. 4 years after, what does he think of as he looks at the world without conflict the Earth Sphere Federation ushered in? Lockon Stratos - 29-years-old. Expert marksman and Gundam Meister affiliated with Celestial Being. 4 years ago, he and his bitter enemy Saachez shot each other simultaneously and (*unreadable portion*) This Lockon (*unreadable*) heads to the battlefield together with his partner Haro and, as a Gundam Meister, pilots the Keldim Gundam. Allelujah Haptism - 24-years-old. Tieria Erde - Age unknown. Seriously injured in the decisive final battle in which he flew the Gundam Nadleeh but he was rescued by an organization and his life saved. Afterwards, he did his best to rebuild Celestial Being. Previously, he had thought of Veda as an absolute being but now he looks for the meaning of his personal struggle. Mecha (definitely iffy on the names here): GN-0000 00 Gundam - New generation Gundam developed as a successor unit to the Gundam Exia. A formidable mecha equipped with 2 GN Drives on its shoulders, it boasts astounding GN particle emission and its performance overwhelms that of all other mobile suits. Pilot: Setsuna F. Seiei Keldim Gundam Arios Gundam Selavii Gundam - A heavy armament model piloted by Tieria Erde that largely carries over features of the Gundam Virtue. Furthermore, it was developed with the intent of strengthening offense and while the 2 shoulder-equipped GN cannons are simple in form, their firepower far exceeds the Virtue's. Info from Kouryaku No Yakata's Newtype summaries: - The second season will revolve around an independent security enforcement organization within the Federation called "Arrows" that suppresses anti-Federation elements. - Setsuna will take on a leadership role. - Most people aren't aware of the severe oppression of Arrows due to the Federation's complete control of information. - Lockon died and isn't coming back. - The show will air in MBS' Sunday 5 pm timeslot starting in October.  (/Aeug) Whether this source is true or not we wont find out till later but this is just a sneak peak at what could happen or will happen...so that's all for this update i guess, no other new anime has been released yet, looking forward to Blade of the Immortal though. Here is also a sneak peak at the new 00 Gundam that Setsuna will probably pilot. So look at your own discretion.

• Anime Update (07/07/08)

  This month is the start of the new season of new anime. I am not too impressed with most of the anime that are coming out only a certain few peak my interests. So here is the list of the new anime that are coming out or have already been released this season. Anime Summer Season List: Birdy the Mighty Decode Chocolate Underground Detroit Metal City Blade of the Immortal Natsume Yuujin-Chou Slayers Revolution World Destruction Ultraviolet: Code 044 Strike Witches Yakushiji Ryouko no Kaiki Jikenbo Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natasu no Sora Telepathy Shoujo Ran Mission-E Hidamari Sketchx365 Antique Bakery Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Sekirei Koihimi Musou Ikkitousen Great Guardians RoboDz Kazagumo Hen  And now i'll give my opinion on the ones that i have already seen. Chocolate Underground: After the first episode of this i could not stand to watch another...Banning of chocolate...that's just nonsense. Slayers Revolution: This is one weird storyline, it's kind of like One Piece filled with jokes and stuff but i'm not gonna watch anymore of it. Telepathy Shoujo Ran: It's about a bunch of kids who can read peoples' thoughts and also control them. There are various abilities not yet shown yet, it's on episode 2 right now. Sekirei: At first, i thought this was gonna be an awesome anime b/c of all the killing at the beginning, but after the opening i couldnt stand to watch anymore of it...don't ask why. Strike Witches: Not even....don't bother with it, there are certain animations about this that don't even make any sense.... Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto: Natasu no Sora This is infact the most decent show I have seen yet out of all the new anime, girl going away from home to live in the city and learning about magic. Blade of the Immortal: This is probably gonna be the only good anime with some good action in it this season although no episode hasn't been released yet, the manga turned out pretty good. Antique Bakery: Are you serious!? dot dot dot Ikkitousen Great Guardians: I'm probably not gonna watch this, never saw the first season of it so not gonna bother with the second season. World Destruction: Based off of a game, depending on how it goes with the first few episodes, may or may not watch it. Ok...that's about it for the ones i've wanted to talk about. So in conclusion...this season's anime is all crap, there are less than 6 out of 20 of these anime that have caught my interest. The link for all the new anime that are coming out will be under this paragraph so go to it if you really feel like looking at a ton of bad (dot dot dot) Summer 2008 Anime List In other news, Toshokan Sensou is FINISHED, the subbers finally finished it yesterday and i was so happy, good ending, good show, 4.4 our of 5, so here is the veoh link for all the episodes, all english subbed, watch it if you got nothing to do. Toshokan Sensou (Library War) - Veoh  For all the anime that i didn't talk about it just hasn't been released yet or i havent seen any reviews from my peers. So that's it i guess...terrible terrible stuff this season =/ can't wait for Gundam 00 Season 2!!!  The Anime Crew DarkMidoriko and Doded (O ' -')--{==>    <('.
