From the Zipangu press release:</p> <blockquote>In <i>The Echo Of Astro Boy's Footsteps</i>, director Masanori Tominaga leads an investigation into the extraordinary double life of legendary sound designer Matsuo Ohno. Following his groundbreaking experimental sound work on cult Japanese animations Astro Boy, <cite class="e anime">Lupin the 3rd</cite>, and <cite class="e anime">Space Battleship Yamato</cite>, Ohno mysteriously disappears from the public eye, retreating into a world of seclusion and personal struggle. Using firsthand accounts from friends and contemporaries to construct a definitive record of Ohno's life, Tominaga's team eventually uncovers the remarkable and deeply moving truth behind Ohno's current whereabouts and habits.</blockquote> <p>Before the documentary, there will be a screening at 3 p.m. of <i>Man-Eater Mountain</i>, directed by Naoyuki Niiya. This 28-minute film is a kamishibai (paper theater) drama told through still drawings. The story involves police being led to a mountaintop by a serial killer, where they confront their darkest desires.</p> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <!--source: ...--> <div> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_58156('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_58156('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_58156(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-12-21/the-echo-of-astro-boy-footsteps-documentary-london-screening-january-19"; var title = "The Echo of Astro Boy's Footsteps Documentary London Screening January 19"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-58156-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-58156-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.58156" readonly> </div> </div> <p> <a href="/news/">News homepage</a> / <a href="/news/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

The celebrated full-color graphic novel adaptation of the classic <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> game returns in a special single-volume edition scheduled for May release under the company's Perfect Square imprint. </p> <p><cite class="e anime">THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: A LINK TO THE PAST</cite> is a unique adaptation of the internationally bestselling video game originally released for <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite>'s Super <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Entertainment System™. This comic book version by manga and anime legend <cite class="e person">Shōtarō Ishinomori</cite> (<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=2598">Cyborg 009</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3773">Kamen Rider</a></cite>) was first serialized in <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=16873">Nintendo Power</a></cite>™ magazine and later collected into a graphic novel in 1993.

While it followed the overall story arc of the original Super Entertainment System game, creator Ishinomori also added new plot twists and characters that made this a stand-alone favorite among multiple generations of fans. Readers of all ages will be captivated by this timeless story and we can't wait for everyone to enjoy this long-out-of-print book!” </p> <p><cite class="e person">Shōtarō Ishinomori</cite> was one of Japan's most prolific and revered comic book creators.

There were some technical challenges, but we won't get into that—my big takeaway from the event was company head <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=2206">Shawne Kleckner</a></cite> extolling the virtues of a genre he simply referred to as space comedy. <cite class="e company">Right Stuf</cite> have been in the business of space comedy for quite some time; one of their foundational anime releases is classic space comedy Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and they've built on this show's momentum by bringing back fare like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=167">Lost Universe</a></cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1882">Space Pirate Mito</a></cite>. </p> <p>Shawne was talking up expanding his company's space comedy offerings in the coming year, announcing plans for bringing signature space comedy <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=42">Martian Successor Nadesico</a></cite> to Blu-Ray, as well as bringing another space comedy back into print: <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite>.</p> <center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="466" height="293" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max1000x1500/cms/column/34379/tempban.jpg" class="lazyload"></center> <p><cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> is a series that is near and dear to my heart, and if you want a good rundown why, just watch this video that I made way back in 2009. I'll try my best not to spend the rest of the column repeating stuff from it. Actually, it should be pretty easy to avoid parroting my earlier examination of the TV series, because as a <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> is a bit more far-reaching, and a lot more interesting. I'd go as far as saying that there's kinda two Galaxy Angels—one rooted in a manga and video game series, and the other custom-built by <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=48">Madhouse</a></cite> and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=909">Morio Asaka</a></cite> for TV. It's a little tricky for me to examine the former, because the video games, released back in the early 2000s for PC and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite> 2, were never released in the west. That's too bad, because the video games are really the foundation of <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> as a whole. GA was one of those “media mix” deals, planned right from the start by its creators, character goods powerhouse <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=508">Broccoli</a></cite> and artist Kanan, to be a multi-platform project with games, manga, anime, and anything else they could cram into the schedule. They even had a cool codename for the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite>, Project G.A., which launched with the release of the first video game in the summer of 2000. </p> <center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="272" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-mike-toole-show/105621/column-tact.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></center> <p>So who remembers this guy?! He's one of the most prominent characters in the <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> universe, and until I finally picked up the manga years after watching the TV series, I had no idea who he was. He's Tact Meyers (he's often referred to as “Takuto” but the series spells his name with katakana, so I'm going with “Tact.” Incidentally, I also refer to <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1825">Naruto</a></cite> as “Nart”), legendary hero of the Transvaal Empire, a brilliant and unconventional fleet commander who put down a major rebellion and quashed a plot against the Transvaal royal family. If you've played <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=216">Sakura Wars</a></cite>, Tact is basically the Ichiro Ogami of this series; he's in charge of the Angel Brigade, a team of five elite pilots, and in his role, the player of the video game gets to choose story routes, take tactical command of his troops, and most importantly, decide which member of the Angel Brigade to start dating.</p> <p>It'd be easy to say that dating sims were a quaint artifact of the late 90s and early 2000s, with megahits like Sentimental Graffiti and the aforementioned <cite class="e anime">Sakura Wars</cite>, but let's face it, even the Mass Effect games are dating sims at this point. The idea of romantically pursuing characters as a part of gameplay was introduced and refined by these older JRPGs, and has simply stuck around since then. But back in 2000, it was still kind of a novelty. The player could choose to romance the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite>'s cover girl, happy-go-lucky ace Milfeulle Sakuraba, or go for one of her squadmates, Ranpha (hotheaded, but sharp), Forte (cool-headed and gun-crazy), Mint (the quirky one), or Vanilla (the awkward, mostly silent lolita). </p> <center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="354" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-mike-toole-show/105621/column-galaxyangelps2.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></center> <p>As someone who came to <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> by way of the anime, the manga's (and by extension, the video games') much more straightforward tone never really sold me. That isn't to say that it's deadly serious—there's actually plenty of comedy, but it tends to be dialogue-driven and incidental to the story. The game cutscenes are easy enough to find on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8245">YouTube</a></cite>, and they're something of a revelation, depicting the Angel Brigade pilots zipping around in massive space fleet engagements that feel more like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=17265">Legend of the Galactic Heroes</a></cite> or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=14">Crest of the Stars</a></cite>. The churning, urgent opening song starts up, the singer hits a high note, and I realize I'm hearing the voice of Minmay from <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=355">Macross</a></cite>, Mari Ijima. Most jarringly, the characters look exactly like they do in the anime, but they're much more serious; they have a war to win, after all. </p> <p>The manga and games stand in stark, frankly ridiculous contrast to the anime, which ran just as long as the games and comics (five seasons) and completely tosses out the spacebound drama and romance angles in favor of more jokes. A lot more jokes. Mari Ijima's urgent hymns are replaced with giddy, pun-laden sing-a-longs by the Brigade themselves, and the characters, who are mostly named after food, star in episodes also named after food, occasionally engaging in longer story arcs that mostly involve food. Given the contrast in tone and content, it's incredible that <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=837">Galaxy Angel<i> TV</i></a></cite> works as well as it does. But it comes out of a pretty long tradition of space comedy. There's stuff like Tylor, but <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite>'s ensemble and its themes of exploration also bring to mind Starship Sagittarius, a funny and surprisingly thoughtful space comedy from the 80s.</p> <center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-mike-toole-show/105621/column-ga-anime.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></center> <p>Director Asaka and his team achieve this by shelving the dating aspect and making the show an ensemble comedy; player-character cipher Tact is replaced by dumb-dad archetype Colonel Volcott, and the Brigade's personality quirks are writ hilariously large. We end up with situations like one where Milfeulle, the show's signature good-girl heroine, has her famous good luck turn bad, so the viewer gets to see her get set on fire, sucked into space, her clothes wrecked, her ship crashed, her cakes burnt. Ranpha isn't just hotheaded, she's boy-crazy. Mint doesn't rein in her odd hobbies (most prominently: dressing in huge, puffy mascot costumes), Forte carries more guns, and Vanilla is even quieter and meaner. Instead of fighting a war, the Brigade is tasked with finding Lost Technology, alien artifacts with bizarre and sometimes dangerous side effects. This is brilliant, because it allows the staff to place the characters into a new situation every episode, without resorting to rote bad guys or monsters of the week. In one episode, the Brigade discovers the Salt of invisibility, which Milfeulle promptly places in a salt shaker, so the team doesn't accidentally use it on themselves. This gag itself is a transparent callback to that Young Ones episode where Vyvian creates a homicidal-mania-inducing potion and puts it in a Coke can. When the rest of the Brigade inevitably uses the salt, Milfeulle keeps track of them by drawing silly faces on their now-invisible ones. </p> <p>Vanilla gets an anime-only sidekick in NORMAD, a decommissioned artificially-intelligent missile that is a transparent reference to both the Star Trek episode “The Changeling” (which features NOMAD, a rogue satellite that developed its own “lost technology”) and foundational space comedy Dark Star, which has an extended scene where the characters argue with an AI-controlled bomb that has decided to commit suicide. This is one of the many aspects of <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> that gets me arguing with other fans of the series (another one: should Angel Tai be translated as Angel Brigade, like Bandai's old DVD release does, or would something like Angel Wing or Angel Squadron be better?), because in the Japanese version, both Vanilla and NORMAD are voiced by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1041">Mika Kanai</a></cite>. This is admittedly pretty neat, because it allows the viewer to experience the actress playing two extremes; both the reserved Vanilla and the shouty, egotistical NORMAD. In the dubbed version, which I enjoy, NORMAD is played by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=4953">Richard Ian Cox</a></cite> as sort of a spacebound Daffy Duck. I dig this approach, but some other fans I've talked to don't.</p> <center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="372" height="500" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-mike-toole-show/105621/column-ga-jerrybeans.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></center> <p>The TV series even has fun with those unavoidable “expansion” characters who come in to try and freshen things up. Season 2 introduces Kokomo and Malibu, twin boy geniuses who are ostensibly reinforcements for the Angel Brigade, but the TV series staff treats them more like Poochie from The Simpsons; after all, they were basically just cooked up for drama CDs. It gets even funnier when the pair realize they're gimmick characters, a gag that gets pushed even farther with the later introduction of Chitose, a new brigade member. She's also introduced in the games basically to goose sales and interest, but here, she's openly insecure and obsessed with being popular and well-liked; she seems all too aware that she's not really part of the team.</p> <p>That kind of storytelling is what kept me coming back to <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> throughout its run. The series is filled with bizarre sight gags, nonsense songs, science fiction jokes buried in character and planet names, and bold and hilarious visual references to the likes of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1991">Combattler V</a></cite>, <i>The Third Man</i>, <i>Run Lola Run</i>, and <i>Tampopo</i>. It even features some serious emerging talent – one of my favorite episodes, in which the Brigade are confronted by a stone-faced octopus sushi chef who can turn anything into sushi (he demonstrates this by turning Forte's Ruger into a tamago set), was key animated and co-directed by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=22577">Sayo Yamamoto</a></cite>! </p> <p>Then, there's <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel II</cite>, which was adapted for anime as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6255">Galaxy Angel Rune</a></cite>. It doesn't have any of the staff from the earlier TV series, and it was animated at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=415">Satelight</a></cite>, rather than <cite class="e company">Madhouse</cite>. It's a completely new story with different, much simpler characters. They really experiment with the formula by taking out both the jokes and the story—the expectation is clearly that the viewer will like these new girls enough that they'll put up with them doing nothing much. Then, they cruelly have Milfeulle and the original Angel Brigade show up for just one episode, reminding us of how good things used to be. That's about all I have to say about <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel Rune</cite>. </p> <center><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="283" height="400" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-mike-toole-show/105621/column-ga-manga.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></center> <p>Beyond that, all that's left is the manga. It's funny, we got most of the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=3242">Galaxy Angel<i> manga</i></a></cite> in English, possibly because <cite class="e company">Broccoli</cite> were able to simply put it out through their <cite class="e company">Broccoli</cite> USA subsidiary. If you want to experience the stark contrast between the game and anime versions of <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite>, the manga is a good enough substitute – it covers most of the games' story beats, and was completely released in English. (Sadly, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4514">Galaxy Angel Party</a></cite>, which hews closer to the comic tone of the anime, was not finished.) </p> <p>I do kinda wish it was easier to play the <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel</cite> games, because the games are the only way to experience one of the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite>'s best gimmick characters, Guinness Stout. He's Ranpha's rival in combat, a stereotypical super robot-type dude who screams all of his lines and is voiced by Noboyuki “screams all of his lines” Hiyama. As for the <cite class="e anime">Galaxy Angel anime</cite>, I'm happy and a bit relieved that it's coming back into print. After all, it's not streaming online, and while I was fortunate enough to collect the whole thing when it was coming out, there's always a danger that my DVDs will somehow get damaged. Plus, part of the joy of watching anime is forcing your anime pals to watch your favorites, just to get their reaction, and that's easier to do when a show is in print and easy to get.</p> <p>Ultimately, I just love space comedy, and would like to see more of it. Hey, ZZ <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4189">Gundam</a></cite> counts as a space comedy, right?

The anime was originally slated to premiere in July.</p> <p>The Assault Lily Project is a mixed-media franchise based on 1/12-scale action doll figures conceived by the doll maker <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=20779">AZONE International</a></cite> and the creative group <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=20783">acus</a></cite> in 2013. The tagline on the anime's website reads, "A rhapsody of petals dancing on the frontline." The theme of the project centers around battles waged by beautiful girls with weapons. </p> <p>The project's website describes its story:</p> <blockquote>On Earth in the near future, humanity faced imminent destruction from mysterious giant creatures known as "Huge." The entire world unites against the Huge, and successfully develops weaponry known as "CHARM" (Counter Huge Arms) by combining science and magic. CHARM exhibits high rates of synchronization with teenaged girls, and the girls who use CHARM are viewed as heroes called "Lilies." Throughout the world, "Garden" military academies are established to train Lilies to face the Huge and to serve as bases to protect and guide people. This is a story about fighting girls who aim to become Lilies at one such Garden.</blockquote> <p>The anime also stars: </p> <ul> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=150594">Hikaru Akao</a></cite> as Riri Hitotsuyanagi </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=187604">Yūko Natsuyoshi</a></cite> as <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=250889">Yuyu</a></cite> Shirai </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=127845">Mikako Izawa</a></cite> as Kaede Johan Nouvel </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=150557">Rimi Nishimoto</a></cite> as Fumi Futagaw </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=173678">Risa Tsumugi</a></cite> as Tazusa Andō </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=169554">Haruki Iwata</a></cite> as Thi Mai Yoshimura </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=188390">Sana Hoshimori</a></cite> as Kuo Shenlin </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=173677">Hikaru Tohno</a></cite> as Wang Yujia<br> </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=128601">Karin Takahashi</a></cite> as Miliam Hildegard von Guropius </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=126148">Rie Takahashi</a></cite> as Shiori Rokkaku </li> <li> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=94856">Minami Tsuda</a></cite> as Soraha Amano </li> </ul> <p><cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=16139">Shouji Saeki</a></cite> (<cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4672">He Is My Master</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2575">Mahoromatic: Summer Special</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13617">Medaka Box</a></cite></cite>) is directing the anime at <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=677">SHAFT</a></cite>, with <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=19928">Mieko Hosoi</a></cite> (<cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15125">Aiura</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17732">Grimgar, Ashes and Illusions</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16614">Shōwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjū</a></cite></cite>) as the character designer. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=141406">Keita Nagahara</a></cite> is the assistant director. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=47024">Kazuya Shiotsuki</a></cite> (<cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16131">Gourmet Girl Graffiti</a></cite></cite>) is the sub-character designer, and is also serving as chief animation director alongside <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=117400">Sōta Suwa</a></cite> (<cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=18916">Sakura Quest</a></cite></cite>, <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=22274">Karakai Jōzu no Takagi-san 2</a></cite></cite>).</p> <p><em>Sources: <cite class="e anime">Assault Lily Bouquet</cite>'s <a href="https://anime.assaultlily-pj.com/news/20200629/post-13" target="_blank">website</a>, <a href="https://natalie.mu/comic/news/385412" target="_blank">Comic Natalie</a></em></p> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <!--source: ...--> <div> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_161212('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_161212('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_161212(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-06-29/assault-lily-bouquet-tv-anime-casts-sayaka-harada/.161212";

Moon Stream will be in concert at Pacific Music Live 12 on Friday, November 9 and Saturday, November 10. Immediately following their concerts, Moon Stream will be available for autograph sessions, as well as a focus panel, photo sessions, and more throughout PMX 2012. <br> <br> Satsuki (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rentrer_en_Soi" target="_blank">Rentrer en Soi</a>) and Tomo Asaha (echostream, Voyage, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=199121">NIL</a></cite>) combined their musical talents to create Moon Stream in 2011. Satsuki launched a successful solo career after the disbandment of Rentrer en Soi, with the goal of exploring and expressing his musical talents in a more meaningful way. Tomo is currently playing with his New York-based electronic rock band echostream, where he has performed for the Bonnie Hunt Show with Shahidah Omar. Together, Satsuki's soulfully angelic voice and Tomo Asaha's underground New York style will prove to be an experience not to miss! <br> <br> Thirty Moon Stream VIP Fan Bundles will be made available only to PMX attendees. The bundle includes admission to the VIP section for both concerts, VIP line access to both autograph sessions, special front row seating for panels, an exclusive private listening session, and a private meet-and-greet with the band.<br> <br> For more information about this amazing event, go to <a href="http://pacificmediaexpo.info/2012/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=268&amp;Itemid=44" target="_blank"><span class="-wrap">http://pacificmediaexpo.info/2012/index.php?option=com_content&amp;task=view&amp;id=268&amp;Itemid=44</span></a><br> <br> About Pacific Media Expo:<br> As America's first major media trade show dedicated primarily to Asian-Pacific popular culture and entertainment, Pacific Media Expo (PMX) is a distinguished industry event sponsored by the Pacific Media Association.

Marginalisé et méprisé par les siens, il passe son temps à s'infiltrer dans les décharges pour récupérer des déchets encore utilisables et les revendre.

Fast forward a couple of sequels and now <cite class="e company">Nippon Ichi Software</cite> has brought us its new spinoff in the form of “Prinny: Can I really be the hero?” for the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite> Portable. Adopting a 2D Side scrolling Adventure style while still retaining the same humor from its main series, do the Prinnys stand a chance or should they all join the doods back in the netherworld?</p> <p>Acting as the basis premise to the game, the story sets you in the role of a Prinny, a small pouch wearing Penguin like creature who serves as common servants or enemies in the main <cite class="e anime">Disgaea</cite> games. You start off being forced with making an Ultra dessert for Etna who assigns the 1000 Prinny squad 10 hours to get the job done. Etna then tells them to create the dessert for her, else she'll kill them all off in one fair swoop. The story is very light, rich in comedy and never takes itself seriously, which is good given its context and the humor element is definitely what makes this game so fun and addicting to play. The story spans for about 2-3 hours assuming that you don't retry or replay boss battles, otherwise it can extend to at least 8 hours easily on normal.</p> <p>The game lets you assume control of one Prinny at a time, traversing one of over 7 different levels all connected to a small hub in which you initially reside. <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=9460">The Hub</a></cite> world, Prinny's little town, is basically your network to all the levels and also contains other characters which give you progress updates and allow you to save. Each of the levels are split up into checkpoints which make dying and restarting less painful. Exiting a level midway however doesn't save your progress, requiring you to start the level all the way at the beginning again regardless of whatever checkpoint you reached before.</p> <p>Inside each segment is a variety of different enemies and obstacles to overcome. At the end of each level is a boss fight and this is where some of the most memorable fights occur. The bosses are all very unique in style and manner of attacking and usually require a lot of thought in how to beat each one. Usually this involves whittling away at a boss's health meter and possibly stunning them. If you mess up in any part of the levels or bosses, each Prinny comes equipped with a self destruct feature via a button combination – this instantly blow themselves up and send you back to your last checkpoint or to restart the boss fights.</p> <p>Your Prinny doesn't come to the adventure empty handed as they are equipped with their trusty blades to help them finish the job. Prinny can attack normally; perform a Jump attack which launches beams with every swipe in the air and a hip thrust which allows the Prinny to temporarily stun enemies. Though there is a limited set of attack moves, there never is any major need for more as it is sufficient as is.</p> <p>The only issue is the controls, especially when you jump – it becomes imprecise as you have no air control while jumping, but this is usually standard in most 2D Platformers nowadays. The hip thrust also has a slight delay requiring precise timing to perform it effectively. This can lead to far too many unnecessary deaths and restarts as what you want your Prinny to do, may not be exactly what occurs on the screen.</p> <p>Take it from me now, this game is very difficult and pulls no punches to tell you that. Given the fact that you essentially have 1000 lives to go through and each one of these can take damage 3 times before dying on normal or one hit instant death on hard mode, you'll eventually be going through lives like cotton candy. The end bosses are also no slouch, as they all vary in the method you use to take each one down. Take this as an example, in my play through, just getting to the end of the 3rd level; I had already gone through 113 Prinnies.</p> <p>Not only that, each level, regardless of order, will ramp up in difficulty as you select them, affecting which enemies appear in the stage, including the end boss. This heightened level of difficulty will definitely be what breaks the game for some people while others who crave these types of games will enjoy the satisfaction of managing to finish each of the levels. Though there are 1000 Prinnys, you only get to control one at a time. As you are in essence, controlling a different Prinny each time you die, there never is any personality that is distinct to one Prinny or another as they all talk and act in the same manner and by the end of it, you'll be adding “dood” to the end of your sentences too.</p> <p>Once you have played through the main story, there are a number of additional extras to unlock such as an alternate storyline, secret endings and a <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17756">New Game!</a></cite>+. To add to this, If you connect to the PSN store, you may be able to download extra levels</p> <p>Visually the game uses 2D character sprites coupled with 3D backgrounds which all give off a visual style that complements the game's unique sense of humor. It is s testament to say that each Prinny has a distinct charm to them that will keep you hooked. The voice work is also very good and you'll definitely chuckle here and there listening to the Prinnys as they banter to each other or die a terrible death.</p> <p>For you importers, the game is fully voiced and translated in English so there should be no problems in understanding the game, and the PSP has no region locks for playing game UMDs. NIS has also added a couple of additional material which comes in the package for those who manage to obtain the premium box purchased from Rosenqueen, the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8667">NIS America</a></cite> online store. For you lucky ones, you will find a soundtrack CD featuring 20 songs from the game with included Japanese and English lyric sheets and a penny arcade comic insert included with a copy of the game itself. Just to note, the game is also available in PAL format in the UK.</p> <p>“Prinny: Can I really be the hero?” is a fun title and should definitely be played by any fan of the <cite class="e anime">Disgaea</cite> series or anyone into traditional 2D Side Scrollers. Just beware of the high difficulty curve and old style controls, and you should enjoy picking up this title.</p> <h2>[Zuiko] PSP: Solfege: Sweet Harmony (GungHo)</h2> <table align="right" style="width:400px; margin-left:10px;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="width:400px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="400" height="227" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/column/30825/02-01.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:200px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="192" height="109" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/column/30825/02-02.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> <td style="width:200px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="192" height="109" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/column/30825/02-03.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table align="left" style="border:1px solid #444444; width:300px; margin-right:10px;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Probable Rating</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">M (Romantic Themes)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Release Date</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">16/12/2008</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;"># of Players</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Availability</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Import: Common</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Language</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Japanese</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Fluency/Literacy Level</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Advanced: Hiragana/Katakana/Kanji</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Notes</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Contains Yuri Undertones</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>With Visual Novels being extremely commonplace in the Japanese gaming market, there are a growing number of titles being ported over from their PC counterparts on to next gen consoles. Many of these titles are simply pick-your-own-path novels with very little else in terms of gameplay mechanics. Contrary to this comes Kogado Studio teaming up with Gungho to deliver Solfege ~Sweet Harmony~ for the <cite class="e company">PlayStation</cite> portable. Gungho is known for rereleasing a variety of visual novels onto console and handhelds but what sets Solfege apart from the rest is its unique blend of Visual novel and music game.</p> <p>Solfege ~Sweet Harmony~ centers on a young high school girl named Kagura returning to the school she had left 3 years prior. Mostly following her day to day life in school, the tale starts off with a flashback to her childhood and her encounter with Sukune, her beloved senpai. Fast forward to the present, Kagura has just returned from being away in a foreign country and she enters a prestigious all girl school. As such, she runs into her dear senpai and from that point forward come a series of twists and complications.</p> <p>Presented as a heartwarming tale of love and friendship, the narrative has a very slow pacing to it with story segments comprising of over 18 chapters which all seem to play on for long periods. Players be warned however; the game is full of suggestive themes centering on a girl-girl relationship so anyone who might not be fond of that stay clear. The story only has a couple of plot twists which are a bit predictable but there really isn't anything else that will captivate you other than seeing her everyday banter with her classmates.</p> <p>Eventually, you'll follow the typical pattern of going through dialogue and eventually pausing for the occasional Rhythm game. The story can be completed in about 10 hours and there isn't really much to come back to unless you are after all the multiple paths and scenarios. There is however, a special scenario which can be played through after the main story is completed involving Kagura's interaction with 2 new classmates.</p> <p>Gameplay is separated into 2 parts, the visual novel and the music game sections. The visual novel portion plays out like your typical visual novel with dialogue boxes and on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19948">Screen Anime</a></cite> style characters. Going through dialogue is simply a matter of pressing Circle multiple times to cycle through them. In addition to this, you can revisit text by pressing Triangle or you can let the game auto play through the conversations by pressing the R shoulder button. Text can also be skipped by pressing L to allow players to quickly go through each scenario path.</p> <p>While the Novel portion makes up the majority of the game, the Rhythm game portions play out a little bit differently than other games. The notes are presented on a stave with sections segregated in different colors to denote the point value. The buttons are presented as notes which head from left to right requiring you to press the correct button for the corresponding note at a given time.</p> <p>The timing you use to press the note is the big difference, as you do not need to wait for the note to head to a certain point to hit it. Instead the game adopts a more shooting mechanic where you press a note and a small beam will fly across and hit the note at the position along the stave it is in, giving you that amount of points. The issue is that the game throws you right into the action without much so a single tutorial. If you skipped over the manual like me, you'll find the game much more frustrating to play as treating this as any other music game doesn't let you play properly.</p> <p>One of the biggest gripe I have about the game is the fact that it constantly recycles certain songs again and again right after each other. This result in very little variety and by the end of it, you'll have a list of songs that you don't ever want to play or hear again. I've played the theme song at least 6 times during my play through and I don't think I want to play that song ever again.</p> <p>After finishing the game, there is very little to go back to other than collecting the rest of the extras mostly consisting of images and scenes which can be obtained by replaying the story mode and going through other paths. As a music game, the song list is limited to only a few songs which offer poor replay value assuming you didn't get annoyed at playing them over and over during the story mode.</p> <p>If any of you plan to import the title, first and foremost be warned, the game contains a large amount of text and dialogue and you will definitely need a good grasp of the Japanese language to fully enjoy the entire of the story. Those with limited knowledge of the Japanese language and after the Rhythm portion will find that unlocking all the songs is a painful chore due to the slow pacing and large story segments between each song.</p> <p>Overall the game offers very little apart from the story and if you don't have a good grasp of Japanese give this one a pass.</p> <h2>[Jacky] PS3: Blazblue: Clamity Trigger (<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=11994">Arc System Works</a></cite>)</h2> <table align="left" style="width:400px; margin-right:10px;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="width:400px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="400" height="225" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit400x1000/cms/column/30825/03-01.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:200px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="192" height="108" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit192x1000/cms/column/30825/03-02.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> <td style="width:200px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="192" height="108" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit192x1000/cms/column/30825/03-03.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table align="right" style="border:1px solid #444444; width:300px; margin-left:10px;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Probable Rating</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">M (Violence)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Release Date</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">25/06/2009</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;"># of Players</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">1-2</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Availability</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Import: Common</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Language</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">English/Japanese</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Fluency/Literacy Level</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Basic: Hiragana/Katakana</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>The fighting genre has not really evolved since the introduction of 3D fighters and most fighting franchises have gone for cosmetic changes rather than ones focused on gameplay. BlazBlue - Calamity Trigger is not here to push any envelopes, but rather work on what exists, so it's hard to nail down if the game is worth all the praise it's currently getting.</p> <p>BlazBlue stays true to traditional sprite based 2D fighters in both presentation and gameplay. The overall presentation of the game from the menus to the primary gameplay is very well polished. The style, art, and character design is very unique - As expected from <cite class="e company">Arc System Works</cite>, the company which brought us the Guilty Gear <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite> (and Bridget).</p> <p>Some superficially noticeable differences which separate this title from the others include, but is not limited to, the move from standard definition 2D sprites to high definition and the use of 3D rendered landscapes against 2D sprites. While some may say that it is nothing new; do not forget that we are dealing with sprites for the character animation - it's a delicate task of visual balance between the second and third dimensions and definitely something which require a lot of skill.</p> <p>For those who are regulars to the fighting genre will know that BlazBlue is a technical fighter like Guilty Gear. It demands players to chain a good amount of combos to actually make the best of the game. With that said, button mashers will find near to no joy with this title and should look elsewhere.</p> <p>There are four types of attacks: weak, medium and strong as well as the game's flagship ‘Drive Attack’, unique to each character. Drive attacks implements a variety of elemental statuses and effects which, again, is unique to each character.</p> <p>For example, Rachel uses the element of wind to her advantage by pulling opponents closer to draw out other combos. Ragna uses vampire-esque moves to drain blood from his opponents effectively draining the enemy's HP while restoring his own. Arkune uses curse-like elements like poison and is a great character for those who like to draw out a longer battle. Role-playing elements in a fighting game sounds great but it is not without quirks.</p> <p>You would think an offering of only twelve playable characters in a fighting game is a good indication of how much more time the development team would have spent on balancing out these characters. This isn't necessarily true with BlazBlue. Self-proclaimed to have fleshed out the story mode ‘that tells the tales of each character’; it seems like the developers have forgotten to flesh out their characters aside from the cosmetics.</p> <p>Balancing issues with characters are mostly comprised of a speed over power ratio problem. Jin can let out an endless loop of icicles from his ‘Drive Attack’ rendering opponents defenceless. Tager cannot withstand any opponents that are remotely faster than him. Taokaka (opposite of Tager in terms of speed) can let out lightning fast attacks. Akune can rush out a barrage of its ‘Drive Attack’ to keep its opponents at bay. All this is assuming you are actually executing these attacks properly without button mashing.</p> <p>While BlazBlue is graphically pleasing to the eyes, it tortures players with a rather repetitive English <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">dub</a></cite> (coupled with combo spammers) and an announcer speaking in English with a Japanese accent that is worth a giggle or two. The game suffers from the developers making up too many fictional terms and at the same time expecting the player or viewer to understand and keep up with all the pseudo-jargon.</p> <p>Each round starts off with an announcement of ‘The wheel of fate is turning’ and ‘round’ is announced as ‘rebels’. It sounds silly regardless of the explanation in-game. Sadly, you may probably find more understanding of certain words on the BlazBlue Wikipedia entry than in the game's story mode. The good news is players can switch the game back to its original Japanese <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite>. However, the announcer with the Japanese accent will stay the same.</p> <p>I have a feeling that a lot of established fanboys of the title will hate me for this review. To the games' credit, it has created such a rabid fanbase in such a short time, which somewhat impresses me. This shows more the superficial character design in video games more specifically catered to an audience with a strong interest in Japanese popular visual culture e.g. Otakus and <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=15">cosplayers</a></cite>. Fighting game veterans should really give this game a try just because it does pose a good challenge for the unconventional player regardless of all the polish I praised this game for. They say, sex sells... and stereotypical one dimensional male anti-heros sell too.</p> <p>BlazBlue - Calamity Trigger is currently out in Japan and North America and will not be available in PAL regions until 2010. North American PS3 version works on all regions and can be imported.</p> <h2>[Mutsuki] PS3: Atelier Rorona (Gust)</h2> <table align="right" style="width:400px; margin-left:10px;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="width:400px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="400" height="225" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit400x1000/cms/column/30825/04-01.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width:200px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="192" height="108" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit192x1000/cms/column/30825/04-02.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> <td style="width:200px;"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="192" height="108" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit192x1000/cms/column/30825/04-03.jpg" class="lazyload"> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <table align="left" style="border:1px solid #444444; width:300px; margin-right:10px;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Probable Rating</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">PG (Mild Violence, Adult Themes)</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Release Date</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">25/06/2009</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;"># of Players</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">1</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Availability</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Import:Common</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Language</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Japanese</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#444444;">Fluency/Literacy Level</td> <td style="font:10px; color:white; background-color:#777777;">Expert</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>First unveiled in 2009, Developer Gust, known for their Atelier Iris and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6277">Ar Tonelico</a></cite> series, has yet again crafted a unique style of RPG that is sure to capture the hearts of those who decide to pick up the title.</p> <p>The first thing to note about Atelier Rorona is that it is mostly a very unique game that the western world has rarely seen previously in the JRPG genre, as it completely focuses on the idea of alchemy, the predecessor to science today.</p> <p>The closest that anyone has seen previously were the Atelier Iris and the Mana Khemia series. All these games focus on Alchemy, but they do not focus on them as the point which the game revolves around - they rely on outside mystical forces such as Mana to explain their uses and still offer a somewhat classical RPG storyline, of saving the world.</p> <p>Atelier Rorona differs even from these – The first thing you are told is that you're there to pass your exam to gain your alchemy license, in a world that is more reliant on machinery. No gallivanting across the world to slay some evil overlord or large dragon, or sneaking around dark and creepy dungeons unless you want to.</p> <p>The art work is very focused, and admittedly really well done, as each of the characters come off as endearing, express what they think and feel through their voice acting and the music almost always fits the bill.</p> <p>The most interesting aspect of Atelier Rorona is the fact that it's very open. As long as you fulfill the basic requirements of your test, which will change from quarter to quarter, you can do whatever your heart desires as long as you know how to do it in game.</p> <p>If you're an adventurer, you can go out and become a monster hunter, or if you don't want to fight, you can spend most of your time away from the monsters to pursue more peaceful activities, or you can just get on the couch and take a nap all day.</p> <p>There's always going to be some items you will need to make yourself, items you have to go out to collect, or monsters to kill, but it's possible to radically adjust what you choose to spend most of your time doing.</p> <p>The crafting system which Rorona works with is very in-depth, with all ingredients needed to make an item having properties which affect the outcome, as well as the quality and usefulness of the final products.</p> <p>To spice things up, you can also mix certain properties to create entirely new ones and some of these properties are considered more prevalent than others which can make crafting an exact science to get what you want in an item. Combat itself uses a system where your HP also acts as your source for special attacks – All skills require HP costs, which can mean that throwing out a lot of special attacks can put you in a more vulnerable position. Rorona can also use items which can quite possibly turn the tide of battle ranging from mass recovery to a tactical nuclear bomb in the field. As the battle goes on your party members can take an extra action when Rorona attacks or is being targeted, and depending on what attacks were used in the fight so far, the field properties will change, allowing for some skills to be unlocked, to further add to the mayhem.</p> <p>Skills can be learnt via beating up monsters, and certain skills can be granted upon wearing certain armour or a weapon that teaches it to you, showing how deep and central the crafting system is to the game.</p> <p>Because your goal is to jump through the hoops to make sure you gain your license, you will be fielding requests from the people in town, who will ask you for items to be made or found, and will pay for your services.</p> <p>As you become friendlier with them, they'll be happy to offer their services such as offering to travel with Rorona as a party member, or sale of their products for a cheaper price.</p> <p>Almost everything you do will eat up in game time, one of requirements will be to plan out your time to make sure you do everything you want to do. This may either encourage you to thrive as you try to figure out the best way to achieve something, or you may feel unduly pressured due to the time restraints.</p> <p>Most of the pressure is on the list of things you want to do, as opposed to need to do, as essentially doing the minimum amount of work to carry on quarter to quarter is actually quite low.</p> <p>Interacting with the other cast is always fun, creating stuff will often provoke some of the weirdest and most wonderful events you'll ever see. You'll also see the town grow and develop, as it has its own life, quirks and strengths, and you'll be able to choose how much and how you'd like to work with the people inside it. At this point in time, the Japanese reading is very heavy – without outside help of some kind, you may find it hard completing some of the more complex parts of the game. Fortunately, a lot of the game is optional if you find yourself struggling.</p> <p>If you think you're experienced enough and brave enough to try to play it language blind, you will not be disappointed, even if NIS Europe have confirmed they're working on it for an eventual 2010 release. If nothing else, you'll find yourself lusting after pie… and probably chasing a pie who demands to know the reason of life out the door.</p> <p>The game came in two editions, a regular edition, as well as Premium box, which includes the game with a glass ordainment. It is a nice touch, as this sort of bonus has not been seen in western collector's editions.</p> <p>In the end, Atelier Rorona is a game that promotes the choice of what you want to do in combination with a vibrant living town, personable characters to interact with and with very creative events. The game manages to break the mold of not needing to save the world and does so in style.</p> <h2>Just a thought</h2> <p>Thanks for joining us for this week's column.

You were gone too soon. Seems like just yesterday we ran into this silly little weirdo and his overpowered fantasy sword, but all good things must come to an end. Thus our heroes leave their stalwart dumbass to journey on towards the royal capital. </p> <p>Thankfully, Schwartz has a parting gift via (accidentally) summoning the presence of his patron Goddess, who's also a delightful chuuni in her own divine right. I like that move, not only for just being a funny gag, but that it's nice to have somebody in Schwartz' corner. Don't get me wrong: the rest of the cast dunking on him is funny, but he's also arguably the most likable person we've met so far, and it's nice that he has somebody on his own wavelength to support him. Plus the way he hides losing his cool sword to avoid disappointing her is cute as heck. Here's hoping they both pop up again later on this season, because they're easily my favorite characters so far.</p> <p>Though the Goddess of Night doesn't just descend to be a protective goth mom to her fuckup chosen one. She also sheds some light on how the whole “Chosen Hero” thing works, and how each hero got whatever powerup they wound up with. For Schwartz, the most powerful thing he could think of was a badass magic sword, but for Tachibana it was...well, Jinguuji. Though in typical Tachibana fashion, admitting that is too embarrassing, even as Jinguuji lets the compliment go to his head just a little. Watching that gremlin get flustered over showing actual, unguarded affection towards his best friend never gets old. (Side note: For the time being I'm going to keep using He/Him to refer to Tachibana. The subtitles have been somewhat inconsistent on that front, with Jinguuji saying “she” in his inner monologues, but until the Tachibana makes a statement in any direction, I'm sticking with past precedent.) </p> <p>Things get choppier in the back half, however, when we remember this <i>is</i> a modern isekai, so of course some slavery's gotta show up. Thankfully neither Tachibana or Jinguuji are buying anybody, but they do try to ignore spotting Telolilo clearly being kidnapped when they see it. And frankly that's one of those gags that takes the bit too far. It's fine and funny if Tachibana and Jinguuji are jerks, if they make trouble for others or cause problems, but it's another thing for our heroes – who are still meant to be moderately sympathetic – sardonically turn their gaze away when they see human (well, elf) trafficking five feet away. It's the return of the unnecessarily meanspirited gags that made up much of Telolilo's introduction, and a pretty rough downturn after Schwartz' episodes.</p> <p>However, <i>Total Fantasy Knockout</i> is still a farce, so our heroes' karma kicks them in the tush soon after, with their bickering opening up a chance for Tachibana to also be kidnapped as the town's celebratory sacrifice. It's another fun twist on Tachibana's supernatural beauty shtick, as now instead of being worshiped and beloved, he's being picked up as the town's most beautiful sacrifice, presumably to be fed to that creepy squid in the ED animation. That's at least a mild bit of comeuppance, and Telolilo herself finally gets to show off her own brand of idiocy when she's so caught up in the “beautiful” part of being sacrificed she doesn't even try to escape. Jokes like that are a lot funnier when it's the character themselves causing their own problems, rather than the universe at large just chucking cruelty in their direction.</p> <p>Hopefully that's the direction the series keeps going in, because Telolilo herself can most definitely be funny as an entertaining, pseudo-antagonistic force for our main couple instead of a mere punching bag. If nothing else I just don't want the show to backslide into the lazier, meaner comedy her introduction brought. </p> <p><b>Rating: <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:60.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=24376">Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout</a></cite> is currently streaming on <a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout">Crunchyroll</a>. </em></p> <div align="center"><p><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episodes-4-5/.182449'">&lt;prev</button><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episodes-1-2/.181666">Episodes 1-2</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-3/.181928">Episode 3</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episodes-4-5/.182449">Episodes 4-5</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-6/.182666" selected>Episode 6</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-7/.182942">Episode 7</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episodes-8-9/.183383">Episodes 8-9</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-10/.183669">Episode 10</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-11/.183928">Episode 11</option> <option value="/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-12/.184199">Episode 12</option></select><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-7/.182942'">next&gt;</button></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <a href="/cms/discuss/182666">discuss this in the forum (48 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_182666('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_182666('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_182666(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/life-with-an-ordinary-guy-who-reincarnated-into-a-total-fantasy-knockout/episode-6/.182666";

Yasumi and Yuhi "expose" devoted fans to the concept of manufactured performer personas, which is the central issue causing their careers' uphill battle. It's called out quickly and angrily by guest star Yubisaki at the beginning of this week's episode. How the show's writing feels about that is still cagey after the apology it gave last week. For my part, I'll admit that the fictionalized fan complex with this setting is stupid. Even if you enjoy the fantasy necessitating that these girls act as facilitators of worshippable idealism, you have to be cognizant to recognize the fantasy that it is. Everyone knows pro wrestling is fake, but you enjoy the show <i>as</i> a show with that in mind.<p>I want to give <i>Voice Actor Radio</i> the benefit of the doubt on where it might come down on that subject since, as I said, it's the part holding my interest the most. When it's using its characters and their propensity for explaining things to muse on those intricacies, it winds up in some provoking places. Partway through this episode, Asaka brings up the point that even though the actresses act with their "real" personalities, they still necessarily require "acting" and emphasizing that personality. She uses the phrase "acting like someone who's you but not quite" to lead into how stressful that could feel, and dang if that isn't a summation of so many aspects of socialization and the human condition. I should expect a character representing a fellow, extremely relatable writer to come up with something so salient.</p> <p>I don't know that I need <i>Voice Actor Radio</i> to be 100% existential navel-gazing, but dang if it doesn't need <i>something</i> else besides those philosophical breakthroughs as it goes through all its other motions. Seeing more of Yubisaki after last week and hearing her sharply snipe at Yasumi is entertaining if you're into this kind of energy the way I am. But then the anime does that annoying thing it regularly does, where it skips over Yubisaki's actual participation in the show and then has Yasumi <i>describe</i> how contrastingly cordial her performance was. Come on, <i>Voice Actor Radio</i>, that's your entire gimmick! Is it a purposefully distracting omission meant to highlight the sheer degree to which Yubisaki siloes her acting facade and her true personality? This story has some clever points, but the anime's presentation has never been nearly that clever, so I'm not inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt.</p> <p>As well, arbiter of artifice though she seems to be, Yubisaki disappears from this episode's plot after that segment so the show can awkwardly pivot to some more conjured-up contrivances to lurch itself forward. Yasumi and Yuhi needing to deal with weird fans threatening to approach them makes sense with the setup so far—they <i>did</i> effectively dox themselves and need to regularly leave school in disguises to avoid the paparazzi. The earlier harping about the issues with fan perception might even indicate that dealing with that corner of the fallout would be central to this next arc. But no, as of now, it's mainly a convenient threat for Yuhi's mom to pressure her to quit voice acting. Yasumi, naturally, gets immediately drafted into these shenanigans.</p> <p>Now, I <i>could</i> argue that it's stupid of Yuhi's mother to think that just having her quit would prevent any worrying weirdos from coming after her. If anything, it would just make things worse. But I can give the writing enough credit to understand that her mom doesn't care about that point and is just using this as a smokescreen to make her daughter leave a profession she disapproves of. That doesn't prevent the characters from needing to <i>deal</i> with it by way of a fantastical wager to keep overzealous fans off of them after posting their exact location, but that's neither here nor there. Maybe that interaction will elaborate on <i>Voice Actor Radio</i>'s position on fandom more effectively. Maybe Yubisaki will come back and be involved appreciably. Maybe this anime will suddenly manifest more solid production values and stop deploying so many awkward fading scene transitions. Theoretically, anything is possible.</p> <p>I understand that <i>Voice Actor Radio</i> is primarily a story, not an analytical essay, and things must happen to progress it. But it feels like the show has gotten pretty far from its blunt, entrenched analysis of the industry and its economy of personality by this point. The "acting as yourself" bit keeps me hanging on, and there's more delving into that before the end of this episode, with Yasumi's mom acknowledging her personal, undissuadable desire to continue voice acting. I can appreciate the way both girls love the craft so much that they're willing to put up with this showbiz bullshit to get to do it. And we get to see them doing some voice acting this episode, so hey, they didn't forget about that element. But I hope the melodramatic mechanical construction the story has built the next phase of its plot on top of allows it to do a little more with its driving themes than it has so far. Given how it blithely skips over much of itself, my faith isn't high.</p> <p><b>Rating: <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:50.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b></p> <p></p> <p><em> <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=26759">The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio</a></cite></cite> is currently streaming on <a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/G4PH0WJ3N/the-many-sides-of-voice-actor-radio">Crunchyroll</a>. </em></p> <p><em> The many sides of Chris include reviewing anime, playing rhythm games, and treating himself to too many Transformers toys.

It also flounders in its overall narrative purpose, something <cite class="e person">Junji Ito</cite> acknowledges in the volume's afterword. It revisits some of the themes previously touched on in <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=23726">Remina</a></cite></cite>, but besides a few key moments, it lacks both punch and introspection on its general implications.</p> <p>The manga's plot is totally bonkers, but in the way that is standard Ito horror. It's amusing in what feels like reasonable expectations for suspending disbelief. I can come to grips with a volcano that emits golden filament that heightens psychic abilities after a Christian missionary and his followers are Spartan-kicked into its mouth. I can also accept a mass psychic event awakening a cosmic god from the depths of the universe. Where the book lost me is the introduction of its female stalker.</p> <p>Part of <cite><cite class="e anime">Sensor</cite></cite>'s narrative problems is its own indecisiveness. Initially, the story sets out to follow Kyoko Byakuya, a woman who stumbles upon the village that deifies Mount Sengoku and is covered in the psychic filaments that the volcano rains down on it. By the end of the first chapter, Kyoko has transcended to a magical-like psychic being and leaves the mountain. The story then switches perspective to follow a reporter who begins investigating her and the mountain in general. These first few chapters make up the original "travelogue" idea Ito was attempting to tell, with a reporter following Kyoko around as she becomes involved in various strange incidents. However, this tack is abandoned almost as quickly as it started. We get one "travel" chapter dealing with suicide that is effectively gross but not quite thought out enough to feel like it's trying to say something larger about it. There are hints that it is about how suicide can haunt loved ones, but also off-putting suggestions of guilt on the part of survivors and a compulsion for death by victims. Ito's work often treats suicide with high dramatics and rarely, if ever, with any kind of real emotional gravitas.</p> <p>Once the suicide bug (did I mention they were bugs?) chapter ends, we get to the stalker subplot and that's where things start to fall apart. The reporter is the victim of stalking and has done as much as he legally can to keep his stalker at bay. She becomes involved with the cult who seeks to utilize Kyoko's psychic powers to gain full knowledge of all space-time. Part of the cult's plot involves traffic mirrors: those rounded mirrors installed at intersections to help motorists see around corners. Basically, the cult orchestrates a plot to tilt a bunch of these mirrors and implant them with their own <i>dark hair</i> fibers to use like fiberoptic material and be able to see everything psychically. The story only spans a single chapter but the concept is just...dull and ridiculous. This is on top of the volcano Christianity psychics premise described above. <cite><cite class="e anime">Sensor</cite></cite> is just <i>weird</i>.</p> <p>The few standout moments are when the story finds its legs and leans into its title. Kyoko's enhanced psychic abilities affect all of her senses in a way that is catastrophically overwhelming. Those who attempt to connect with her experience similar sensations and are represented in a physically grotesque way. A little more focus on that—the cacophony of sound, smell, touch, etc—may have made for a more cohesive horror story alongside the cosmic horror angle instead of the mishmash (that also eventually includes time travel) seen here. I also would have welcomed something more firmly rooted in the martyrdom of Christian missionaries in Japan. Christians were <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Japan" target="_blank">killed in droves</a> for almost a century, including by crucifixion. The penultimate chapter includes an extended retelling of the Passion of Christ, albeit with a volcano instead of Golgotha, but it carries little emotional weight.</p> <p><cite><cite class="e anime">Sensor</cite></cite> is easily the strangest <cite class="e person">Junji Ito</cite> story I've read to date and there are certainly many ideas in it that are worth exploring. Unfortunately the book struggles to find what it wanted to do leading to a half-baked series of chapters that fail to scare.</p> </div></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <script ann_init="display_synopsis_layout()"> function display_synopsis_layout() { var s = document.getElementById('small-synopsis'); var sA = document.getElementById('small-synopsis-area'); var b = document.getElementById('big-synopsis'); var bA = document.getElementById('big-synopsis-area'); var big = (sA.offsetHeight || bA.offsetHeight) > 308; s.style.display = (big ?

Si celle-ci est si triste c'est que depuis cinq ans son manager artilect, Antonio, est hors service sans raison. Et pourtant c'était son principal supporter, il la motivait pour faire encore mieux sur scène. Selon les archives de Matsumoto, la jeune fille se donnerait la mort après sa prestation sur scène et l'impact sur la société serait énorme, prouvant que les artilects auraient des émotions. Si lui ne veut qu'empêcher cette mort, Diva, elle, veut comprendre et trouver la racine du mal. Ophélia n'a pourtant pas l'air désespérée, mais elle semble triste. Alors Diva va l'interroger, contre l'avis de Matsumoto. Certaines choses ne changent pas, notamment son entêtement et sa franchise directe. Elle lui montre alors Antonio. Mais la jeune fille n'est pas si triste en fait, un truc cloche et Diva le sent mais elle n'arrive pas à mettre le doigt dessus. Quant à l'homme qu'elle a vu, c'est Yugo Kakitani, le membre du Toak que l'on a croisé dans tous les épisodes précédents. Matsumoto va devoir raconter à Diva qui était Vivy et ce qui lui est arrivé suite au suicide du docteur. Il la retrouvée désactivée avec un trou dans la tête… La mission Singularité est relancée. Et l'on n'est pas au bout de nos surprises, puisqu'on est parti pour un épisode en trois parties. Quel est le rôle de Kakitani ? Pourquoi veut-il la mort d'Ophélia ? Le mystère est entier. </p> <p><b>Note : <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:80.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=23935">Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song-</a></cite> est diffusé sur <a href="https://www.wakanim.tv/fr/v2/catalogue/show/1289/vivy-fluorite-eyes-song">Wakanim</a>. </em></p> <div align="center"><p><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-7/.173320'">&lt;prev</button><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-2/.172443">Episode 2</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-3/.172444">Episode 3</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-4/.172445">Episode 4</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-5/.172447">Episode 5</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-6/.172694">Episode 6</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-7/.173320">Episode 7</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-8/.173365" selected>Episode 8</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-9/.174218">Episode 9</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-10/.174219">Episode 10</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-11/.174220">Episode 11</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-12/.174221">Episode 12</option> <option value="/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-13/.174222">Episode 13</option></select><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-9/.174218'">next&gt;</button></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> mettre en favori/partager avec : <span onclick="social_share_173365('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_173365('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_173365(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/fr/review/vivy-fluorite-eye-song/episode-8/.173365";

Z-Hen</a></cite><br> <strong>Manufacturer: </strong>Bandai<br> <strong>Cost:</strong> $100</p> <p>I'm going to really enjoy this week's review. It's hard not to enjoy writing about toys, but this one is <em>special</em>. I told you when we started together that I loved super robots, and the finest super robot toys are perhaps Bandai's high-end diecast metal Soul of Chogokin figures. They're certainly far more expensive than, say, a Revoltech, but their accuracy, options, and attention to detail are second to none. When a robot is immortalized in the SOC line, it is often the definitive production of that robot. Now my favorite <em>anime</em> of last year was Shin Mazinger, Yasuhiro "<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=669">Giant Robo</a></cite>" Imagawa's reconstruction/crossover fanfiction of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3140">Gō Nagai</a></cite>'s epoch-making super robot story, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1100">Mazinger Z</a></cite>. In 26 episodes Imagawa's mad imagination took Mazinger to places it had never been, and here in my hands today is one of the many fruits of the Shin Mazinger labor of love: a new and fantastic Chogokin figure of <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite> as it appeared in that series.<br> <br> </p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/01.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>The package exhorts: <em>"The fist of a god!"</em> Pay your respects!<br> <br> Even for robot anime, there is an unusually high level of synergy between the anime and the merchandise here: toy designer (for this and many other SOC pieces) <a href="http://www.zincpanic.com/view_designer.phtml?toys=10899&amp;b=0&amp;e=29&amp;sort=Name&amp;page=1" target="_blank" title="Tsuyoshi Nonaka">Tsuyoshi Nonaka</a> was also the mechanical designer for the Shin Mazinger anime. The gimmicks given <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite> in that show, most notably the ability to transform the entire body into a giant fist, were explicitly designed to be turned into awesome toys for the benefit of the (man)children watching at home. Imagawa has talked about how he went from opposing the toy companies to working with them over the course of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=299">G-Gundam</a></cite>'s production, and this direct cooperation with one of Bandai's finest robot artisans is perhaps the logical extreme of that idea.<br> <br> <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite> was the first Soul of Chogokin release and is the line's cash cow, having been endlessly re-released and redesigned for the line: once for its appearance in the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1007">MazinKaiser<i> OAV</i></a></cite>, once just for the hell of it, again for Shin Mazinger, and in endless variants. Similar to the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=35">OVA</a></cite> version, Mazinger's body is very lean in accordance with Nagai's original manga designs. The pieces that came before were a little chubbier, taking inspiration from the 70's <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=145">Toei</a></cite> anime instead.<br> <br> <br> </p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/02.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>The first thing you're going to notice when you pull Mazinger out of his styrofoam tray-- good for childhood nostalgia, bad for the environment-- is that this figure is heavy. The Chogokin line is actually named for the fictional Super Alloy Z (made with <em>Japanium!</em>) that <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite> was built out of: here in the real world, Chogokin is solid zinc. The figure isn't entirely metal, but major parts like the arms and legs are: this gives the figure the satisfying heft that attracts many robot lovers to Chogokin. You really have to pick one of these up with your own hands to understand the feeling. Regular plastic figures will start to feel a little puny after you've handled one of these.<br> <br> Articulation is as good as it can be while staying directly accurate to the anime's <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=101">mechanical design</a></cite>. Given the design of the robot-- the legs just stick out from a solid crotch with no real movement at the hips-- the movement of the upper legs is pretty limited. The arms, shoulders, and head have no such limitations, however, and swivel around freely into whatever pose you might like to put them in. The knees have solid ratchet joints that always hold their position for easy posing and click loudly when you move them. It's a good sound. Mazinger's red chest plates can also be moved, a feature that's only used in the transformation. The Hover Pilder, the little flying hovercraft that pilot Kouji Kabuto flies, is removable, and the wings flip into place so that you can put it into the head, just like in the show.<br> <br> </p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/03.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>Mazinger is packed armless, as the toy makers have left a very important decision to you. Will you go with the regular arms, which move at the elbow like you'd expect, or the spring-loaded, firing Rocket Punch arms? I found it impossible to resist the allure of shooting a robot fist across the room over and over again, myself. They won't put your eye out like the firing fists of the 70s and 80s, but they're definitely stronger than the antiseptic children's toys of today, and more importantly they impressed the hell out of my dog. The interchangeable arms are attached to the body with magnets, making replacement both simple and <em>way cool.</em><br> </p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/04.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/05.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p><br> <br> This is all standard Soul of Chogokin, but this figure has a very special gimmick that I've only mentioned in passing. Halfway through the series, as is robot anime tradition, <cite class="e anime">Mazinger Z</cite> receives a spectacular upgrade: the God Scrander backpack. It doesn't make a ton of sense at first glance. The robot's got a big, capelike set of wings, but there are three giant robot fingers stuck to his back now! The design really comes together when you realize that Mazinger's head tucks into his torso, the wings wrap around the lower body, obscuring it all the way down to the toes, and that finally, the arms themselves become fingers, and then they join the fingers on the backpack to form the massive fist of Zeus himself-- the Big Bang Punch! It's like a Rocket Punch, except huge: in addition to the usual assembly instructions, the manual includes a collection of step-by-step screenshots from the show that detail the transformation, so you can see for yourself that everything the figure does is exactly right.<br> </p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/06.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>The transformation is simple and mostly smooth, but there are some rough points. I found the "finger" pieces a bit of a pain to attach, and when you tuck Mazinger's head into the body I recommend you remove the Hover Pilder: the manual doesn't tell you to do this but but it's very likely that the protruding fin will take some damage if everything isn't just so. Once it's done, the fingers and even the fingertips are articulated, so you can make it a huge, outstretched hand as seen in the show, not just the Big Bang Punch.<br> <br> The included display stand, as usual for SOC figures, accommodates all of the robot's accessories, so you don't need to worry about losing anything. Parts on the stand can also be configured to display Mazinger wearing the God Scrander, without it, in flight with the God Scrander, and transformed into Big Bang Punch mode: you're covered on all fronts here. Keep in mind that the attractive, shiny finish on this and many other diecasts makes dust very clear and obvious, a lesson I was repeatedly reminded of during the shooting of all these photos. You might want to wipe this thing down every so often to keep it looking nice. It's an investment, right?<br> <br> This figure really lacks very little: rather than any failings, I can only think of ways to make it <em>more</em> awesome. Like light-up Photon Beam eyes, or the giant screaming head of Kouji Kabuto stuck Master Asia style onto the robot, as seen on the show-- wait, there's <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXypVsMYBqA#t=2m28s" target="_blank" title="a variant">a variant</a>for that. Those Bandai scoundrels strike again! Can't they just leave us and our money alone?!<br> <br> If you want one of these figures, I recommend you act quickly: at the moment of this writing they are on sale at <a href="http://www.hlj.com/product/BAN958490" target="_blank" title="Hobby Link Japan">Hobby Link Japan</a> for half price, or about $50 before international shipping. That means, of course, that the original retail of this figure is a very steep $100, which I believe it earns. Quality of this level-- not to mention Super Alloy-- is not cheap.<br> </p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="500" height="375" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/astro-toy/33408/07.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p><br> Remember, kids, Dynamic Pros gotta stick together.<br> </p> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <a href="/cms/discuss/33408">discuss this in the forum (18 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_33408('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_33408('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_33408(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/astro-toy/2010-03-21/soul-of-chogokin-mazinger-z-hen"; var title = "Astro Toy: Soul of Chogokin Mazinger Z Hen"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-33408-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-33408-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.33408" readonly> </div> <p> <a href="/astro-toy/">Astro Toy homepage</a> / <a href="/astro-toy/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

The 15th year anniversary convention will be held at the Anaheim Convention Center July 1-4, 2006. More information is available at http://www.anime-expo.org.<br> <br> The AX2006 Online Registration system will not only allow people to pre-register for the convention well in advance, but it will also provide attendees who do so at a cheaper rate and assist in shortening wait times in lines as badges will be mailed out in advance. Paper mail-in forms for pre-registration will not be accepted and attendees that are unable to pre-register online will be able to register onsite during the convention during the 4th of July weekend.<br> <br> To prohibit illegal replication and duplication of attendee badges, the key security feature will be the distribution of highly unique and hard to duplicate badge-holders and an un-replicable chemical varnish printed on ALL badge vouchers.<br> <br> Attendees can also reserve their rooms online at: <span class="-wrap">www.anaheimoc.org/housing.html</span> by utilizing the access code of “ANIME”. Host hotel codes are as follows:<br> <br> Anaheim Hilton: HILTO<br> Anaheim Marriott: MARRI<br> Sheraton Park Hotel: SPARK<br> <br> Attendees can also obtain reservations for their rooms by contacting the hotels via phone as well. Rooms are sure to go quick so early reservations are strongly suggested.<br> <br> Located in Anaheim, California - <cite class="e company">Anime Expo</cite>®, the North America's largest anime/manga convention, serves to foster trade, commerce and the interests of the general public and animation/ comics industry.

For better or worse, each girl has established a routine obliging of her current situation; life moves at an idle, yet accommodating pace within the walls of Mihama.</p> <p>Yet with the arrival of the institute's first male student, the nearly preposterously opaque Kazami Yuuji, the students at Mihama begin to fall out of step with their predetermined rhythms. Will Yuuji prove to be the element the girls around him needed to take hold of their lives once more, or will the weight of their pasts prove too steep a wall to overcome?</p> <p>And in the first place, just who is Kazami Yuuji? While the true nature of the "job" he is wont to alight to at the most haphazard of moments remains shrouded in secrecy, one thing is for certain - his encroachment upon the quiet orchard known as Mihama Academy will prove itself momentous in one way or another. And of course, one cannot discount the possibility that perhaps Yuuji himself carries the weightiest past of any of the students... </p> </blockquote> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <!--source: ...--> <div> <a href="/cms/discuss/85359">discuss this in the forum (6 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_85359('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_85359('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_85359(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-02-25/maon-kurosaki-yoshino-nanjou-return-to-perform-the-eden-of-grisaia-anime-themes/.85359"; var title = "Maon Kurosaki, Yoshino Nanjou Return to Perform The Eden of Grisaia Anime's Themes"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-85359-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-85359-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.85359" readonly> </div> </div> <p> <a href="/news/">News homepage</a> / <a href="/news/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

Overall, I think this is a great move for the Visual Novel market. As more developers start to take advantage of the opportunities provided by our retail platform, we'll be able to see more Visual Novels released as the creators originally envisioned them - without any censoring to satisfy <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>'s nebulous content standards. That's a great step forward for free speech and free expression in the gaming medium."<br> <br> This celebratory week will see a brand new title released on <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite>'s storefront every day from Monday through Friday. <br> <br> Monday will see the release of HunieCam Studio, the second game developed by Huniepop creator, Huniepot. In this title, players can enjoy a business tycoon simulation game where they control an adult video studio specializing in online broadcasts. Manage your staff, analyze the market, and invest in your business to become the ultimate adult entertainment provider!<br> <br> Tuesday brings Razzart Visual's Wolf Tails, a stunning tale of romance between a human living a solitary life and two wolf girls who stumble upon her cabin - one seeking shelter from her duties, and the other trying to bring her back to the pack. Players can enjoy multiple endings with the wolf girls as either male or female. With excellent character development and cute visuals, it's a perfect game for romance fans.<br> <br> On Wednesday, Zetsubou Games' Tomboys Need Love Too! will teach that true love can sometimes be found close at hand. While Kai has always considered his best friend Chris to be "one of the guys", she's torn between maintaining their close friendship and pursuing a deeper relationship with him as a woman. Since Chris will be staying with him while her parents are on vacation, she makes the decision to act and start trying to get Kai to see her as a woman, but can she overcome Kai's crush for another and win a place at his side?<br> <br> Also releasing on Wednesday is Love in Space's Shining Song STARNOVA, a title unfairly prevented from seeing release on <cite class="e company">Steam</cite> for an indefinite period of time while Valve, "implements new features to give people more control over the content they see."<br> <br> Shining Song STARNOVA is a tale of seven talented women trying to make it to the top in the cut-throat world of the Japanese Idol business. Though every one of these beautiful characters has talent waiting to be developed, there's no mistaking the fact that each possesses serious flaws that will or has hindered their attempts to make it big in the unforgiving entertainment industry. As their new producer, it's your job to manage these women and build a cohesive unit that can soar up the charts.<br> <br> <cite class="e person">John Pickett</cite>, Press Director of <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite>, also had the following comment to add with regards to the circumstances surrounding Shining Song STARNOVA:<br> <br> "We at <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite> think it's terrible that a retail giant like Valve is using the development of new systems as an excuse to prevent the release of titles. Especially since this gate-keeping seems to apply only to titles with anime artwork, not major AAA titles which also contain greater sexual content. <br> <br> It is unfair that they are forcing small, indie companies who are the most vulnerable developers to endure this indefinite delay that could ruin their businesses financially. We believe their games deserve to be released when intended, and we encourage any visual novel developer currently facing this issue to contact us via support@<cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite>.com We would love to offer our own retail platform to help ensure that these titles see a release so those developing them can continue their great work." <br> <br> As English Developer Week continues, Thursday will see a tale of a different stroke with the release of Y Press Games' <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=23">BL</a></cite> title - My Magical Demon Lover, a spicy, comedic, gay, fantasy. When the aspiring wizard Tristan finally gets an offer of apprenticeship from Great Grandfather, it turns out to be an excuse for the old man's vacation, and Tristan is left with three demons to learn magic from - at the cost of sex. Manage your stats and make careful choices to reach the 10 different endings in this funny title. Will you choose the top, bottom, or switch demon to learn magic from?<br> <br> Lastly, Friday will see the release of Razzart Visual's yuri title, Love Ribbon, a tale of forbidden love between two sisters. While Iris and Zoey have grown up apart from each other, when fate brings them together at last their personalities clash and an exciting tension begins to grow between them. With several animated sequences and multiple endings, there's much to explore to and excite in this serious and realistic tale of taboo feelings.<br> <br> There's never been a better time to check out the latest Visual Novels made right here in the West, so stop by <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite> this week and enjoy some of the best!<br> <br> ABOUT <a href="https://www.mangagamer.com/" target="_blank">MANGAGAMER.COM</a><br> <cite class="e company">MangaGamer</cite>.com is the world's first legal download site for English translated Visual Novels.

We received a comment from the director, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=202827">Baku Kinoshita</a></cite>, in response to these results.<br> <br> The TV animation "<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>" is an original anime written by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=259651">Kazuya Konomoto</a></cite> of " <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=31871">Seto Utsumi</a></cite>", with music by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=202828">PUNPEE</a></cite>, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=202829">VaVa</a></cite>, and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=202830">OMSB</a></cite>. The story is about 41-year-old cab driver Odokawa, played by <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=106773">Natsuki Hanae</a></cite>, and his interactions with peculiar customers that lead to the disappearance of a girl. In addition to the talented voice actors, the film features many acting comedians such as Miki Diane. It is currently available exclusively on <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=14558">Amazon Prime Video</a></cite> in Japan.<br> <br> The Blu-ray BOX project "<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>" was not planned at the start of the broadcast, but started in response to viewer feedback. Although the project had been well received from the beginning, with over 300 sets of orders received on the first day, the number of orders increased rapidly when the "Odokawa figure", which had been set as a bonus for reaching the maximum number of 3,000 sets, was announced to become real. In the three days leading up to the final day of the project, the number of pre-orders continued to increase at an accelerated pace, and one minute before the deadline, the number of pre-orders reached 6,000 sets, double the 3,000 sets that were initially expected to be the maximum possible number.<br> <br> On social networking sites, many fans in Japan and abroad were excited to see the phenomenal increase in excitement, saying "It's awesome!" <cite class="e person">Natsuki Hanae</cite>, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=113461">Riho Iida</a></cite>, and the rest of the cast reacted one after another, saying, "Every time I open Twitter, I'm amazed!” <br> <br> Although the Blu-ray BOX will not arrive until March 2022, new product information has been released and a collaboration café will be held in Umeda, Osaka in October, so don't miss out on any new developments in "<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>".<br> <br> [Director, <cite class="e person">Baku Kinoshita</cite>]<br> Thanks to all of you, we have now surpassed 6000 sets. 6000 sets, I still can't believe it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who pre-ordered. We will make a wonderful Blu-rayBOX full of charm.

He has no relatives, doesn't get involved with many people, and is a bit eccentric and quiet. His hobbies are listening to ”Rakugo” before going to bed and listening to the radio while working. The only friends he has are his family doctor, Goriki, and his classmate from high school, Kakihana.<br> The only customers he brings in are somewhat peculiar. Kabasawa, a college student who can't wait to be buzzed about, Shirakawa, a nurse who is hiding something, Homosapiens, a comedian duo who is not selling well, Dobu, a street thug, and Mystery Kiss, an idol who is on the market. The conversations of these supposedly ordinary people eventually lead to a girl who has disappeared.<br> <br> ■TV animation "<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>"■<br> Official Site http://oddtaxi.jp/<br> Official Twitter @oddtaxi_<br> Official Instagram @oddtaxi_<br> Official <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=24888">TikTok</a></cite> @oddtaxi<br> Official <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8245">YouTube</a></cite> Channel https://www.<cite class="e company">YouTube</cite><span class="-wrap">.com/channel/UC7vSI218btwcth8yKEGfe0g</span><br> <br> <br> [cast/staff]<br> 【cast】<br> Odokawa/CV:Hanae Natsuki<br> Shirakawa/CV:Iida Riho<br> Goriki/CV:Kimura Ryohei<br> Kakihana/CV:Yamaguchi <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=15890">Kappei</a></cite><br> Daimon Brother/CV:Kousei&Asei<Miki><br> Shibagaki(Homosapiens)/CV:<cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=206950">Yūsuke</a></cite><Daian><br> Baba(Homosapiens)/CV:Tsuda Atsuhiro<Daian><br> Nagashima Satoshi/Takasugi Mahiro(special appearance)<br> and others<br> <br> 【staff】<br> Planning and Original story : <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10822">P.I.C.S.</a></cite><br> Script:Konomoto Kazuya (<cite class="e company">P.I.C.S.</cite> management)<br> Director:Kinoshita Baku(<cite class="e company">P.I.C.S.</cite>)<br> Assistant director:<cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=275666">Nitta</a></cite> Norio<br> Character Design:Kinoshita Baku・Nakayama Hiromi<br> Art Director:Kato Kenji <br> Color Design:Ozeki Tatsue<br> Color Design.:Amada <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=274406">Miyabi</a></cite><br> Editing::Ushiroda Yoshiki<br> Sound Director:Yoshida Kohei <br> Sound Production:PONYCANYON ENTERPRISE INC.<br> Music:<cite class="e person">PUNPEE</cite> <cite class="e person">VaVa</cite> <cite class="e person">OMSB</cite> <br> Music production cooperation::SUMMIT, Inc. <br> Music production: <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=269">PONY CANYON</a></cite><br> Animation production: <cite class="e company">P.I.C.S.</cite> × <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=33">OLM</a></cite><br> <br> ■TV Animation "<cite class="e anime">ODD TAXI</cite>" Blu-ray BOX Project "<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>" <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=24511">OUTLINE</a></cite>■<br> The larger the circle of support from people all over the world, the faster the project will go.<br> As the number of applications from fans increases, the specifications will become more and more luxurious!<br> <br> [Product Details]<br> TV animation ”<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>” Blu-ray BOX<br> Release date: Scheduled for March 2022<br> SCXP00094/base price 25,000yen<br> ※Orders have been closed.<br> ※Please note that product release and specifications may be subject to change, postponement, <br> or cancellation due to various circumstances.<br> <br> ■Shop Information■<br> PONYCANYON SHOP<br> <span class="-wrap">https://shop.ponycan.com/products/detail/1913</span><br> https://shop.ponycan.com/<br> <br> ■TV animation "<cite class="e anime">ODDTAXI</cite>"■<br> Official Site http://oddtaxi.jp/<br> Official Twitter @oddtaxi_<br> Official Instagram @oddtaxi_<br> Official <cite class="e company">YouTube</cite> Channel https://www.<cite class="e company">YouTube</cite><span class="-wrap">.com/channel/UC7vSI218btwcth8yKEGfe0g</span> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_178299('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_178299('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_178299(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2021-10-09/the-oddtaxi-blu-ray-box-project-has-ended-with-double-the-number-of-applications-than-the-original-/.178299";

Tamura's official website will undergo maintenance starting on March 21, during which the site will be inaccessible. No date for the site's reopening has been announced. The official <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=24886">Twitter</a></cite> <a href="https://twitter.com/YukarihimeStaff" target="_blank">account</a> of her staff will also close on March 20.</p> <p>The three companies confirmed that the "Tamura Yukari 2016 Fuyu Live Kaisai" concert has been cancelled. The companies also confirmed that the "Tamura Yukari no Itazura Kuro Usagi" radio program, as well as her "Kissa Kuro Usagi ~Himitsu Kobeya~" radio program will both end. The "Tamura Yukari no Itazura Kuro Usagi" radio program's last broadcast will place on March 26, and the Kissa Kuro Usagi ~Himitsu Kobeya~" radio program's last broadcast will take place on March 25.</p> <p>The companies also reiterated that on April 1, the operating company of Tamura's "Mellow Pretty" fan club will change ownership. Fan club members will be given more details regarding the change in late February.</p> <p>Tamura <a href="http://tamurayukari-diary.com/?eid=2692" target="_blank">posted</a> in her blog last March that she thought 2015 would be a year of farewells for her, and made oblique references to "the beginning of the end" and a "slow countdown." She quoted, "Even though we're apart, it's not like we can never meet, so it's all right," but added that this was just a lie. She concluded, "I always lie to my heart." </p> <p>Tamura is perhaps best known as the voice of protagonist Nanoha Takamachi in the <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4576">Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha</a></cite></cite> anime franchise.

Blending futuristic sci-fi with an urban retro-1970s feel, Bebop is a unique television show which skillfully transcends all kinds of genres. Episodes vary drastically in tone, from cartoonish farce to dramatic tragedy and everything in between. It's all held together by some of the most endearing characters to ever grace an anime, along with movie-quality animation, sophisticated writing, and an incredible pop score by the great <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=734">Yoko Kanno</a></cite>. One of Bebop's commercial bumpers proclaims it, a bit pretentiously, "the work which will become a new genre in itself". It's right: <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> is unlike anything you've ever seen before. "The Perfect Sessions" collects all 26 episodes of this landmark anime series, along with a CD of some of the excellent music that puts the "Bebop" in <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite>.<br> <br> <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> is a series that fairly oozes style, which is a very hard-to-define element. There's just something undeniably cool about it. Perhaps it's the exotic-yet-familiar vision of a future in which space-age technology coexists with more everyday items like ceiling fans and automobiles (in this aspect, <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> is reminiscent of the old <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=57">Dirty Pair</a></cite> television series). It could be the back-ally jazz compositions that punctuate the action, or the main character <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=17294">Spike</a></cite>'s laid-back, cavalier attitude towards life. But whatever it is, <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> has it in doses. You'll be hard pressed to find an anime with more panache.<br> <br> The characters are so convincingly portrayed that the show could have been successful without any of the afore-mentioned style. <cite class="e company">Spike</cite>'s character in particular runs the gamut from goofy to blasé' to teeth-gnashing tough; he is one of most three-dimensional anime leads in recent memory. Jet may seem like a no-nonsense heavy but he's actually a concerned father-figure for the rest of the crew, and Faye's sultry tough-girl act covers up a very insecure individual. Only the 13-year-old female hacker Ed is given a one-sided persona, but her oddball mirth is presented so vividly it's easy to accept her as a genuine personality as well. These strong characterizations help carry the series through some predictable storylines that might otherwise be pretty dull.<br> <br> The series is episodic in nature, each episode (or "session") tells a self-contained story that often has no bearing on the others. Many of the plots are taken straight from the pages of old pulp-fiction novels or classic American cop shows. The show relies on it's unique interpretation of these familiar cliché's to give it a fresh spin. There is very little "point" to the series than to entertain it's audience, which it consistently does.<br> <br> One of the few recurring themes of <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> is that your past has a way of catching up with you. <cite class="e company">Spike</cite> has left his life of crime, but still relentlessly seeks his old mob flame Julia. Instead he usually winds up running into Vicious, his former superior in the Red Dragon Mafia who wants him dead for leaving the syndicate.....or is it because of Julia? Jet wants nothing at all to do with his own past, which only holds painful memories of a lost love and a lost left arm, yet events surrounding his old misfortunes come back to haunt him. Faye, conversely, is an amnesiac who his actively seeking the answers to her missing past. When she finally regains her memory, the truth turns out to be very bittersweet. Even carefree Ed is faced with her troubled past when her neglectful father reappears late in the series. These serious moments are at odds with the gritty-yet-lighthearted tone found in the majority of the series, and yet there is no feeling of inconsistency in the show's varying attitudes. <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> makes no attempt to hide it is inspired by the musical format of the Blues (The show's closing theme is "The Real Folk Blues"), and most good Blues melodies manage to be jazzy while at the same time a little somber. <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> is, in a way, a physical manifestation of the Blues.<br> <br> The usual <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=91">J-pop</a></cite> soundtrack would not suit such a project well, and the Bebop staff rightly sought an American jazz sound to accompany their work. <cite class="e person">Yoko Kanno</cite> had proven her talent by creating memorable orchestral scores for anime like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=501">Macross Plus</a></cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=240">Escaflowne</a></cite>, and with <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> she shows a remarkable musical versatility. Her instrumental pieces for Bebop outrank many a Hollywood film's, and the many songs (almost all in English) that are peppered throughout the series could certainly be top-40 hits on American radio, particularly "Call Me Call Me" and "Want it all Back". Kanno's music is vital to achieving the eclectic mood Bebop strives for, and oftentimes the music takes precedence over the action or the characters.<br> <br> The amazing musical score complements a high quality of animation seldom seen on television. Character movements are much fuller than that of a standard TV anime. Character Designer <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=96">Toshihiro Kawamoto</a></cite>, who previously had worked on the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4189">Gundam</a></cite> series <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=24">08th MS Team</a></cite>, has a very appealing yet simple style that is easier to animate than the more complex designs found in other anime. The animation of the various vehicles featured in Bebop is also of very high merit, and is made more impressive by the fact that much of it was done traditionally, without the aid of computers. The CG that is present in Bebop blends very well for a series done in 1998. Though not as seamless as the merger of old and new techniques in recent productions like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=4883">Vampire Hunter D</a></cite> or even the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=353">Cowboy Bebop movie</a></cite>, it is a far sight better than earlier attempts at mixing computer and hand animation, as in <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=121">Blue Submarine #6</a></cite>.<br> <br> Much has been made of <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite>'s English <cite class="e lexicon">dub</cite>, and rightly so. All too often the inclination in <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">voice-over</a></cite> work is to caricature the voice, make it "cartoonish" and unnatural. There are frequently times where this is of course the appropriate method, but many anime tell sophisticated stories that require a more realistic approach. Several serious anime have been belittled by their English dubs that feature hammy, over-the-top voice acting. <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite> is to be commended for boasting a flawless English cast which plays it straight and low-down. Even the cartoony Ed, whom the directors easily could have given an equally cartoony voice, sounds like a sincere 13-year-old girl...albeit a very oddball one. The English cast is so convincing, in fact, they actually one-up the Japanese originals. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1184">Wendee Lee</a></cite> in particular is to be commended for besting the great <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=391">Megumi Hayashibara</a></cite> as Faye.<br> <br> "The Perfect Sessions" collects all 6 DVD volumes of Bebop in a snazzy box that's as cool as the show inside. The main cast is featured in a gold-tone portrait on the front, and a little picture of Ein graces the back corner. Inside is a sampling of Bebop tunes on CD. It showcases some of the best tracks from the first part of the series but regrettably leaves out some great compositions from the latter episodes, such as the aforementioned "Call Me" and "Blue".<br> <br> I've never met an anime fan who didn't like <cite class="e anime">Cowboy Bebop</cite>, and I know many non-anime fans who admire it as well. Like the best works of film, it has a universal appeal that transcends cultures and personal tastes. It is an anime that will be remembered long after many others have been forgotten.</div></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <script ann_init="display_synopsis_layout()"> function display_synopsis_layout() { var s = document.getElementById('small-synopsis'); var sA = document.getElementById('small-synopsis-area'); var b = document.getElementById('big-synopsis'); var bA = document.getElementById('big-synopsis-area'); var big = (sA.offsetHeight || bA.offsetHeight) > 230; s.style.display = (big ?

That is, until he got it in his head that he wanted to shack up with some high school girls. What's an ex-biker in college to do? What else... become a teacher so he can seduce some fresh jailbait.<br> <br> <b>Fanboys and Fangirls - Symptoms and Diagnosis</b><br> They are one of the greater mysteries of otakudom. Ever wondered what made that cute <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=15">cosplayer</a></cite> tick? Or that person who uses quotes from anime in every single conversation, and sneers at you when you don't know what they're from? Our fledgling Animefringe reporter, Alex Brotman, brings us a full-fledged expose on the intricacies of fandom. Use caution when you read this... you might find out some things about yourself that you're not prepared to know.<br> <br> Plus... we've got a special Valentine's edition of the insanely popular editorial Chasing Otakuism, some of the latest Briefs from around the world, and a slew of hot new reviews including one on the first volume of the brand new <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=73">Rurouni Kenshin</a></cite>: Seisou Hen <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=35">OVA</a></cite> series.

Prepare yourself for the second vicious volume of the uncut and unedited <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=11584">Gantz</a></cite>: Kill or Be Killed.<br> <br> <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> is a mega-violent mind bender that questions the human perception of life and death. Produced by animation powerhouse <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=9247">Gonzo Digimation</a></cite> (<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=844">Full Metal Panic!</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2884">Chrono Crusade</a></cite>, Peacemaker), <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> proved to be far too intense and graphic for Japanese broadcast, with massive edits and digital re-cropping required in order to be aired. Now you can experience <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> in its full uncut, no-holds-barred glory with <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2">ADV Films</a></cite>' DVD release. Please be advised, however, that <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> contains extremely graphic violence, language, nudity and frank sexual situations that may offend some viewers. <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> is for mature viewers only.<br> <br> The brutal game continues, but only half of the original players remain alive. As the <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> clock counts down and the body count continues to rise, the only way to survive is to join the cycle of death; to kill or be killed. Trapped between monstrous foes and their inhuman master, the survivors' only hope is to unlock the secrets buried inside their alien weaponry and combat suits… but will they live long enough to use them? The series that shocked Japan will cut your senses to the bone in the second mind-blowing volume of <cite class="e anime">GANTZ</cite>!<br> <br> “No matter how you look at it, <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> is going to be one of the big names in 2005. The animation, action, and sheer violence will grab you by the shirt collar and bi#$h-slap you silly.” -- DVDVisionJapan.com<br> <br> <br> Limited Collector's Edition Available!<br> <br> The first volume of <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite> is also available as a Collector's Edition, which includes the <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite>: Game of Death, Volume 1 DVD and an attractive custom series art box to house the first six volumes of the series (SRP $27.98).<br> <br> <cite class="e anime">Gantz</cite>: Kill or Be Killed, Volume Two (SPR $17.98) is a DVD-only release with 2 complete episodes presented in <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=42">anamorphic</a></cite> widescreen in English 5.1 and Japanese 2.0 with English subtitles.

I find it interesting to find out more about there experiences in the industry and their influences. One thing that bothers me is at least once a convention someone will bring up some incredibly inappropriate thing the guest worked on (<cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=16">doujin</a></cite>, <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=17">ecchi</a></cite>, <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=9">hentai</a></cite>) or their personal life that doesn't need to be dredged up. Its one thing if they have had a checkered past like <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=4240">Masami Ōbari</a></cite>, but in most cases it was some minor thing they did that doesn't reflect on there overall work. Why do people find it necessary to bring this up? Do they think that they're cool by bringing up some obscure factoid? Do they honestly think they will answer them, or are they just trolling? You don't see people walking up to Sylvester Stallone and harassing him for being in a porno 40 years ago. It's just rude and uncomfortable thing to ask, especially to a guest.</p> <p>How do you know people don't go up to Sylvester Stallone and go, "HEY, it's the Italian Stallion!" I would bet money that happens every once in a while. People can be REALLY obnoxious to celebrities. In fact, not long ago some friends of mine saw Charlie Hunnam (Pacific Rim, Sons of Anarchy) at a restaurant. Unfortunately, they happened to be dining with some true lowlives. Said lowlives interrupted his meal to hassle him for a picture (which he was happy to accommodate), then KEPT snapping pictures of him throughout the meal, even as he was leaving the restaurant. Then one of them even called a paparazzi friend to tip him off. I wasn't there, but I was really upset to hear that happened. Nobody deserves that, and Hunnam seems like a genuinely nice guy. But it happens all the time.</p> <p>To many of us, these convention guests are celebrities, and around celebrities, some people's brains just stop functioning. Most people aren't like those jerkwads my friends were dining with; most people are being genuine. But something in them is intimidated, flustered, or trying too hard to be funny. They want to make a connection or an impression with this important person, and their brain is frantically pulling out every file they have on that person, trying to find some obscure, weird thing to forge a bond over. They forget to think about how their words will sound to other people. Most of them aren't trying to insult them or get them angry, and most of them just come off as nervous or tongue-tied. But occasionally someone will ram their foot so far into their mouths that it comes out their butt.</p> <p>The stories of this happening, particularly at anime conventions, are endless. Many years ago I was hosting a Q&amp;A with the late, great <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1161">Satoshi Kon</a></cite> after a screening of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=374">Millennium Actress</a></cite>. An audience member told him that they didn't like the ending, and asked if he could make a new one. At a Q&amp;A with <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=774">Shinichiro Watanabe</a></cite>, an audience member proudly told the man he had just pirated a copy of the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=353">Cowboy Bebop movie</a></cite>. Voice actresses have been asked about long-forgotten roles in <cite class="e lexicon">hentai</cite>. And worse. Much, much worse.</p> <p>Every time it happens, a chill goes through the crowd. People immediately face-palm, and if there's a translator, they tense up, and hesitate before trying to politely explain to the guest what had just happened. Usually the guest just maintains a polite smile and keeps on truckin'. I mean, what else are they going to do?</p> <p>People's brains are not wired for celebrities. Human brains are not conditioned to react to someone that they can easily identify and respect, but that we have no actual relationship with. Some of us just plain short-circuit.</p> <p>Most people are quite nice and cordial, and most guests have, on the whole, pleasant experiences at American conventions. But that "OMG IT'S A CELEBRITY" jolt of adrenaline -- it's made fools of so, so many people. All anyone can really do is laugh it off.</p> <p></p> <hr> <h3>Thank you for reading Answerman!</h3> <p>We are no longer taking question submissions.

As time passes, Asuna fears what will become of her life outside the fantasy realm - the failure she might seem in the eyes of her peers and parents.<p>Unwilling to wait on the sidelines for more experienced gamers to beat the game, Asuna employs her study habits to learn the mechanics of gaming - and swordplay. Her swiftness impresses Kirito, a pro gamer who invites Asuna to join the best players on the front lines. Is Asuna ready to swap class rankings for player rankings and join Kirito? </p> </blockquote> <p>The manga adapts Kawahara and <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=96379">abec</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime">Sword Art Online: Progressive</cite></cite> novels that feature a revised retelling of Kawahara's original <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=15607">Sword Art Online</a></cite></cite> novels.

But I was wondering: what happens to the Japanese people that *don't* make the top cut? I would think that the top cut people are a minority (maybe I'm wrong), yet in discussions about Japanese culture, we only hear about the typical life of top-cut salarymen or office ladies. What happens to the rest of Japan? Are those the people that go on to work on anime? What about the life outside business? Do Japanese scholars and people working in academia suffer the same infamous amount of stress as salarymen? Is there an industry in Japan that isn't so stress-filled?</p> <p>Japanese people that don't make the top schools and get into the top jobs are lined up in front of a firing squad and executed at age 23.</p> <p>Obviously I'm kidding. Those schools and jobs are the "top" schools and jobs because there aren't that many of them, so getting into those slots is very competitive. And just like the American Ivy League colleges and top private high schools, the vast majority of people not only won't get in, but simply won't be in a place where it's even worth applying to them. The extreme societal pressure to aim for those places is borne partly out of the hierarchical nature of Asian society in general, but it's also a relic of the 1980s Japanese bubble economy, where getting into a good company would guarantee you employment for life.</p> <p>Those days are long over. But in the absence of a sure thing, some people have taken that as a cue to become even more obsessively competitive in their academic and career pursuits. Others have lost hope that there is a place for them, and have become dropouts like NEETs and hikikomori. But the truth is, most people simply do something other than work at the top company until they retire/die. Some work retail. Others work in anime. Or at a bank. Or in government. Or become manga artists. Japan, like every other society out there, is a vast economy of people, nearly all of them located somewhere in the middle. And frankly, those middle slots seem like where most of the action is. I don't know about you, but watching movies and TV shows about the 1% sounds pretty dull to me. But then again, look at the top reality TV shows...</p> <p>The "top," however fallacious the idea may be, is still something that many people aspire to reach. The fact that the vast majority of people will never get there (and those that have might not even realize that they're there) means that a fictionalized "top school in Japan" basically represents a cultural Valhalla. A writer or manga artist would have entirely free reign to create anything out of such a place, from something depressingly mundane to something crazy and surreal. And often, they do.</p> <p>But plenty of anime and manga and light novels take place "in the middle." Easily half, if I were to take a shot in the dark. Most romantic anime -- <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=3">shoujo</a></cite> and shonen -- take place in a "normal" school, and it's never implied that the students are all that special in any way. Plenty of anime take place at the bottom of society's scrap heap, be it in high school (like in <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=153">GTO</a></cite> or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3371">Gokusen</a></cite>) or in the working world (<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=408">Patlabor</a></cite> or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2654">Planetes</a></cite>). Even perennial favorites like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=13">Cowboy Bebop</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=49">Evangelion</a></cite>, and even <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1825">Naruto</a></cite> could be said to be about normal or borderline-failing people in society, at least those who start out that way.</p> <p></p> <hr> <h3>Thank you for reading Answerman!</h3> <p>We are no longer taking question submissions.

Son coup d'un soir vient de lui filer entre les doigts en lui volant son argent. Le jeune homme est furieux… Pourtant, ces déboires pourraient bien lui avoir sauvé la vie ! Autour de lui, tout le Japon semble s'effondrer face à une terrible épidémie qui transforme les humains en zombies. Pour le moment, « Minato » est à l'abri… Mais enfermé dans cette pièce, il ne peut échapper à ses idées noires.

Après quelques souvenirs de Mash enfant, le combat contre le boss va commencer, Abel n'à qu'à bien se tenir ! Le chef de Magia Lupus a un sort monstrueux : il transforme les êtres en pantins emplis d'acide. Mais il ne sait pas qui il affronte. Mash ne fait qu'une bouchée de ses attaques, tout en restant d'un calme olympien, son seul but est de retrouver sa pote, Lemon et que Abel arrête de torturer les autres élèves. Avec son idéologie fasciste, le jeune homme fait fausse route. Il est devenu ainsi suite à la mort de sa mère qu'il adorait. Quand elle a disparu, il a enfoui au plus profond de son être sa bonté. Elle lui a pourtant inculqué l'amour de son prochain, sa colère l'a rendu méchant. Elle a été assassinée, poignardée alors qu'elle distribuait de la nourriture aux pauvres. Si elle faisait le bien autour d'elle, lui a décidé qu'il faisait partie de la race supérieure. Son ambition est d'éliminer les faibles, de purger la société de ceux qu'il prend pour des parasites. Quand il se sert de Finn, en le transformant, Mash comprend que son adversaire est un être détestable, mais qu'il peut être sauvé. Malgré tout, il ne fallait pas s'en prendre aux amis de Mash. Abel découvre alors la force de la « magie » de Mash, et malgré tous ses sorts, il perd. </p> <p>Un bien beau combat dans lequel Mash sort tous ses muscles. Cette fois, le focus est mis sur le méchant du moment, Abel, qui n'est en fait qu'une victime qui a mal tourné. Ce n'est pas lui qui est le vrai problème, mais un mystérieux personnage qui a pris l'apparence de Lance… Un membre de Innocent Zero, une organisation clandestine qui œuvre dans l'ombre.

Sato had <a href="/news/2009-04-15/say-hello-to-black-jack-sato-to-post-manga-online">announced</a> last week that he plans to release the manga online one month after its magazine publication.
