Nice little scifi racing romp in the vein of Redline although nowhere nearly as refined and afflicted with CG cars, this was pretty cool. Stylish, a nice twist to everything, and the racing itself was rather exciting which was the most important part of the endeavor. At 27 minutes, it's a low time investment as well.

Pretty epic episode of comedy and suspense. Xin was pretty epic in his speech and was funny too. I love his personality. Diao, Bi, and Sei were good too. The history of the Kingdom world is pretty interesting. Ive been actually enjoy it even if its world building which I typically dont like to be too detailed. But the mountain people, the ancestors and the grudges they held while working together as to how it relates to how people in the current time want to change, and its effect on Sei and the simpler minded Xin, is compelling.

Shocked when
king of the mountain agreed!

It suppose to be 26 episodes. At the pace their going I question if they can tell the whole story in that amount of time.
You realize that the manga is still being released weekly? There is no full story there to be told, I'm pretty sure a second season will follow.

I think the manga main story (
As of right now they are at the Winter Cup final four
) is close to being done unless the author goes in another direction.

So you just copypaste the posts you make here on MAL? That's lazy, son!


By the way, does GAF have a MAL club or something like that? I'm curious to see what the average gaffer like. (other than Ponies and K-on, i mean)

Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie

Holy shit, why haven't I watched this sooner? Osamu Dezaki directed this amazing gem from 1982. It's like a perfect sci-fi adventure movie. God damn.

The story starts off with a bounty hunter named Jane Flower catching Cobra's eye as she turns in a bounty. He decide he's interested in a fling with her and introduces himself courtesy of the huge bounty on his head. As it turns out, she's in danger herself and looks to Cobra for help. He reluctantly agrees and quickly finds himself in over his head yet sees it through to the finish as a matter of principle.

The movie is beautiful and totally revels in motion. There's rarely any usage of stills as there's nearly always something going on onscreen be it wildlife in the sky, flowing clouds, or other weather effects. Computer screens are rife with moving images and effects animation abounds. Even shots of the background are often layered so a pan of the camera creates a parallax effect that gives the movie a great depth.

Thank you for mentioning this. Just finished watching and really enjoyed it. Once every 6-12 months I end up finding one of these 80s - mid 90s gems that I haven't seen and brings me back to why I started watching in the first place. Mindless fun, quick moving, hand drawn goodness. Love the way faces were drawn back then.

Fuck yes, that was awesome. Great fight, story advancement, character development, and some fabulous music. There was even a cliffhangery awkward epilogue! Shame it took this long to get to something like this that probably won't be repeated until the end.

They even fit in some schoolgirl bonding.

That episode reminded me that the superior zwei wing character needed more screentime.

Fantastic Children 4


I like this Thoma guy. He's a simpleton, but he isn't obnoxious.
Anyway a lot of things going on in this series, immortal children,
ghosts
, reincarnation,
mysterious government organization
... definitely my kind of thing. I really want to see how everything will fit.

And i'm falling in love more and more with the OST, really atmospheric~
