Death Note

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

It’s been a while since I’ve been able to dig in an anime and watch it from beginning to end. I’m still following Naruto on a weekly basis, but as my spring break was coming I had to find something new. Two friends (not knowing each other) recommended that I watch Death Note.
The anti-hero is [...]

Naruto

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

It’s been a while since I’ve been drawn to an anime, I feel like all the right shows that were out there have all ended (and have been reviewed). There was this friend of mine who was always over-hyped about this show and I never got the appeal. I didn’t appreciate the visual style and [...]

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Four elements, water, fire, air and earth. Teenage characters that have to save the world. Thrilling action sequences and great peril. That pretty much sums up the essence of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The story is about a kid named Aang who turns out to be the Avatar. He’s capable of “bending” all four elements [...]

A Scanner Darkly

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

The visuals of this movie are breath taking. This is the only point on witch no other movie could ever compete with it. Except perhaps Renaissance, that I haven’t seen. I had seen the first trailer for this movie last year and was really wondering why they went to all the trouble to modify every [...]

Renaissance

Saturday, September 23rd, 2006

The trailer for this movie hit Quicktime the other day and was intringued by how it looked visually. It made me think of a kind of Anime style, used in Immortel, The Animatrix and A Scanner Darkly. What I believe to be the correct term would be animation, some though that 3D animation was the [...]

Escaflowne - Anime Love (Part 3)

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

I’ve started this thread back in March with animes like Shaman King on part one and RahXephon in part two. I did state that there might be a third post about the anime I like.

The Vision of Escaflowne is all about a young woman/girl that is swapped to an other world by a beam of [...]

Bring part of gaming history home…

Thursday, April 6th, 2006

I’ve seen this movie last fall, and the DVD is finally being released in North America. I’m talking about the 2-disc set of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. This movie is somewhat made in the same spirit of the game and is a firm sequel. Even if you haven’t played the game you will still [...]

Anime Love (Part 2)

Sunday, April 2nd, 2006

RahXephon: It’s the story of a 17 year old boy named Ayato Kamina. He lives in a near future Tokyo. After his city [...]
