Isis Love In: Aunt Suck It - Free adult videos and porn clips | SpankBang.com. Outlaw Star. On the technical side of things, Outlaw Star has aged incredibly well. While not a fossil by any means, this show is at least old enough to have hand-painted cels instead of being digitally painted like what new fans are used to, giving it a classic texture. Don’t let the aged appearance fool you, though, because the action sequences in Outlaw Star are caster-tastic. There are zero corners cut in the space battles or hand to hand combat and there are often numerous fights per episode to pop your peepers at.

The music is pretty low-key unless there’s a grappler duel a brewin’, but it’s a fun mix of techno, rock, and a lot of brass to lay down some smack to, though I quickly forgot it in the heated wake of the opening song and a soothing closer written for Melfina to sing throughout the show. The voicework is nothing real special in either language, I’m afraid, but for a show devoid of serious drama, that’s to be expected. I assure you I have barely scratched the surface. HeatGuy J. If you ever gain the slightest bit of interest to watch this show, WATCH IT. I was skeptical at first, due to the subpar-looking character designs, wonky name, and typical sounding synopsis.

However, it only took about 10 minutes of the first episode to completely hook me on the series. The show completely blew all my expectations out of the water. The art is great. You might be skeptical at first, but the style flows very nicely in the show. The character designs are from the same person behind Escaflowne. There are some very well-animated scenes throughout the show, and never do you see signs of lazy animation throughout. The sound was good. The story is fantastic.

The characters are what make this series shine, however. Eternal Family. Hey look! It’s a dark and stoned Truman Show! … No, it’s not. This series was born as an unorthodox series of 53 little episodes of about 30 secs each and only later made into a whole for commercial purpose. The general feeling of the world in terms of genre categorization is a dystopian cyberpunk version of our modern world. The character figures are drawn in a way that is not reminiscent of mainstream anime.

It has very good motion fluidity, as characters and objects move in a very rubbery and fast (but not realistic) way. Music themes and voice acting were very few and low-toned but they aided in the grim atmosphere perfectly. A family escapes the filming plateau and discovers that is being monitored as part of a reality game, causing the producers of the show and the fans to run amok. At first, I thought it was just the anime version of the Truman Show.

-There are similarities in the way amoral people exploit the daily lives of others in order to make a buck. Wolf's Rain. On the technical side of things, Wolf’s Rain’s animation is gorgeous. You can almost always count on Studio Bones to put out good work, but Wolf’s Rain has a particularly proficient pedigree. Fantastical backgrounds are detailed, varied and engrossing, character designs are distinct and very attractive, and the fights and chases are breathtaking. The music was composed by Yoko Kanno, which means I might not have to say anymore, but I will. All her work is magnificent, but this may be some of her best. Insert songs and orchestration are beautiful as standalone but absolutely MAKE the emotional moments too. It’s a wonderful soundtrack to listen to without the anime, but it never overwhelms the story either, matching the action onscreen beat for beat. In terms of voice acting, the Japanese is a solid listen, but also, Wolf’s Rain has one of the best dubs ever made.

So the production values are top dog, but the real important things are story and characters, right? Betterman. ANIME MINOR JEWELS SERIES Full lit of the review series can be found on this page, 3rd post from bottom: TEASER: To be honest, it took me several years to actually find the courage to write this review. This series has so many ups and downs that I had a hard time deciding what exactly to write about it. ART SECTION: 8/10 [When something becomes scary without even seeing it.] General Artwork 2/2 - Visual Effects 2/2: Being mostly dementia, the series needs to be grim and weird if it wants to be successful in this department. Character Figures 2/2: Nothing great to look at here. Backgrounds 1/2 - Motion Fluidity 1/2: Nah! SOUND SECTION: 8/10 [Did you heard that? Voice Acting 2/3: Very good for the most part, although I didn’t found it exceptional in the long run. Music Themes 4/4: Shit man! Higashi no Eden. Higashi no Eden (or Eden of the East however you want to call it) is a new anime series produced by Production I.G, and it was one of the most anticipated series of the Spring 2009 season.

After quite an impressive trailer before the anime aired, I just knew I had to watch this show which looked like it had a lot of promise. Did it live up to my expectation? Read ahead to find out. Story: + This anime definitely brings a very interesting plot. + The level of mystery and suspense will leave the viewer wanting more every episode. + Definitely one of the most refreshing stories in recent seasons. - Its is only 11 episodes long, a very uncommon number for an anime. - The ending leaves you with a cliffhanger that the movies are expected to resolve. - Because of the # of episodes, plus the announcement of 2 movies.

The anime ending does not feel like it brings any closure to the overall story. Sound: + Very good OP and ED songs. Tim maughan books » Ten anime series you should see before you die. First off I’d just like to say a huge thank you to everyone that read my list of ten anime films you should see before you die – the response has been phenomenal – not just the number of people that read it, but also those that took the time out to get involved in the following discussion at Reddit, Stumbleupon, Twitter as well as here on TMB. Some people loved my selections, some people thought I was well off the mark, but it was clear that there was no way I was going to be able to avoid putting together another list, this time of TV series and OVAs. It has been a far harder list to compile.

Not only because of the vast selection to choose from, but also that I knew from the start that I would be leaving out some shows that a lot of people hold very dear. As such I hope that at least some visitors will read the next paragraph first before scrolling down the list to see what is missing and getting upset. Cowboy Bebop (1998) TV, 26 episodes Paranoia Agent (2004) TV, 13 episodes. Aoi Bungaku Series. For a long time now, the psychology genre has been dominated by the likes of Elfen Lied, Higurashi, Monster and Requiem for a Phantom. All these anime looked at psychology as the mindset of a murderer or the troubled past of the protagonist, and there were also shows like Death Note, which focused on the mental abilities of two geniuses.

This has been the way anime have defined the psychology genre for years. But, as always, along comes a player that changes the way the game is played. Aoi Bungaku Series thrusts you into the shows of the protagonists and synchronizes their brain to yours. The show is the anime adaptation of several literary masterpieces in Japan (much like Ayakashi Classic Japanese Horror), some of them dating back to the late 1920s. (NOTE: Each arc is a completely different story, are in no way interrelated and can even be viewed as a standalone anime. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The animation in this show is one of the best I’ve ever seen, if not the best. Akagi. Akagi is based around its titular character gambling his way to the top of the underworld, his enigmatic prowess for mahjong often turning the tide of certain defeat into victory. Akagi is a cold, relentless character. He cares little for money or for his own life.

In the heat of the gamble he stops at nothing less than completely crushing his opponent's will to win... Akagi is the first Nobuyuki Fukumoto manga to get the anime treatment and the anime has been executed surprisingly well. It is with reason that I say, 'surprisingly'. Firstly there is the subject matter, Akagi (the anime), as with a number of other works by Fukumoto, basically involves Akagi (the character) playing a couple of games of the Japanese version of mahjong, gambling for keeps. With all of this in mind it is 'surprising' just how intense this anime is. Firstly the mahjong. The characters cannot be mentioned without some reference to the drawing style, which plays a large role in creating the tone of the series.

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan. Bizarre, violent, mostly nonsensical...but incredibly funny. I liked this for the same reason I liked FLCL and Azumanga Daioh. FLCL had a deeper story (yes, there was one...watch it again) and Azumanga Daioh had greater character development, but Dokuro-chan has a charm all it's own...not to mention lots of blood. The parody of the "magical girl" element really adds something. I never cared for those types (Sailor Moon annoys me, no matter what language it's in), but here, it's funny.

The visuals and sound were really well done considering how short the series is, but then, that's just how series like this work. Short, but high-quality (well, the good ones, anyway). The premise alone is what got me to watch it and I wasn't disappointed. Look, I really enjoy stuff like Cowboy Bebop, Kanon (2006), and Gundam Wing...but sometimes you just gotta let off some steam. The first episode alone was almost too much...the appearance of the "monkey" left me almost in tears, I was laughing so hard. Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan 2. Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan 2 can basically be described as this: Over the top comedy and violence, complimented with pointless story and echhi-ness on the side. It picks up where the first season left off, (well with the cast appearance anyway) and gives you even more of what the first had to offer.

Story: 4/10 Honestly if this anime series could talk, it would say: "Story? What is this story of which you speak of? " Because quite frankly there is none whatsoever, if you have ever seen season one then you may be surprised that everything the actual storyline (if you can even call it that) had built up to that point, seems to have gone right out the window. Artwork: 8/10 Bright colorful, sharp and lovable, and definitely on par from what you would expect of the series. Soundtrack: 6/10 They actually re-made the opening theme from the first part, its okay and all but just isn't quite as carefree and happy as the first. Chaos;Head. Gameplay[edit] A screenshot of Takumi having a conversation with Kozue.

The delusional trigger system's green and red cardiac cycles can be seen at the top. The gameplay of Chaos;Head, like other visual novels, requires little player interaction as the game is primarily made up of text dialogues. The player only needs to read and click through the text to advance through the game. Chaos;Head presents choices to the player through a unique "delusional trigger" (妄想トリガー, mōsō torigā?) Selecting the cardiac cycles will often decide what kind of delusions Takumi will experience. Plot[edit] Shibuya Setting and themes[edit] Chaos;Head primarily takes place in Shibuya, Tokyo. Story[edit] Chaos;Head's story is set in 2009 in Shibuya and is centered around Takumi Nishijō, a high school student at the private Suimei Academy, and the strange and brutal murders that have recently occurred in the Shibuya area, known as the "New Generation" (ニュージェネレーション?)

J.D. Detroit Metal City. It’s about a reserved young lad, Negishi, moving to the city of debauchery that is Tokyo and fronting a death metal band, as Krauser II, even though he would rather be at home drinking green tea and listening to laid back indie pop. It’s tear-inducingly hilarious. DMC's humour is similar to Cromartie High School in its lunacy, albeit more traditional in narrative-stakes, and it’s also more unrelenting and risqué with its filthy potty mouth and explicit scenarios usually involving casual public simulated rape.

Rape isn’t funny, but when it involves a young man dressed like an 80's prog rock gone wrong band member who looks a bit like a tranny furiously thrusting his groin against a piece of government property in order to placate his maniacal fans, well, it’s pretty damn funny then. DMC's cast of deranged characters, animated by the ever-brilliant Studio 4c, liven up every scene they're in, thanks to each episode's short length. Eiken (manga) Eiken (エイケン?) Is a heavily fanservice-themed manga and anime series created by Seiji Matsuyama. The story depicts the life of schoolboy Densuke Mifune after he is forced into the mysterious Eiken Club, which is populated only by females, several of whom have ridiculously enormous breasts.

The manga series ran for eighteen volumes, and additionally included a series guidebook. A number of radio drama episodes and a two episode OVA (the latter roughly based on a volume 3 storyline) have been produced. The first twelve manga volumes have been released in North America.
