"Time of Eve" ends

(Official) (wiki) (Animenewsnetwork)

A lot of sci-fi ficks deals with the apocalyptic rise of A.I. . Matrix, Terminator... all with the scary future of robots turning against their creators. This show too, higlights the skepticism/prejudice against the machines. It is a sad story of A.I.s having intelligence and feelings, but kept to themselves for fear of freaking their owners out (and risk of annihilation by anti-robot activists). There is a cafe, with a rule - within the premises of the cafe, there is no discrimination between humans and robots. The different episodes telling the stories of the different robots protaganists.

The first season ended with 6 episodes.

I want a Sammy too!

-Sammy stalker mode- (hehehe)
If you ask my opinion, I'll say theortically it is possible to foster a thinking program, but for them to understand human etiquette (and do what the robots do in the anime) and stuff, can they really do that? Mah mah, its an anime... and nevertheless it is a fine anime.

Watch it now!

The EVA fever never dies, does it? Decades later, it is still turning out mechandises, and they still sell like hot cakes. But we should give it credit, EVA is one of its kind at her time, and sets the bar for animes to follow...ahh...

An interesting read !

Some things that you might not have noticed, even for long-time anime fans (like myself). This article is done by an anime fan as well.


Peeping Life

Peeping life are short animated clips - 5 mins, with really realistic ( and funny! ) conversations between people. Do give it a try ! The betamax and underwear episodes are must-watch(es)!

Shangri-la finishes

Another Anime finishes.

Shangri-La (wiki) started out pretty impactful, with great promise (read on) to be a successful series. The story background is a fictitious future where the world has finally taken global warming seriously. In reality, carbon credits and market do exist too. (Now will the world wake up to save the anime industry too? :p )

May'n (wiki) sings the opening "Kimi Shinitamō Koto Nakare (キミシニタモウコトナカレ)". A pretty decent song.





May'n PV on youtube





First episode and we can see some fighting.. Haven't seen a boomerang as a choice of weapon for quite some time now. Wow dodging bullets matix style is a little ehh... ( Some day, everyone will learn to give and take, let's put this little exaggeration aside. And besides we can't complain, that will get us more hand to hand combat fights! ) The fighting at the first episode is ok, then you would think the fighting can only get better? Ahem...

As mentioned before, the background is set in the future, so more high-tech goodies...hehe...

The lead character - Hojo Kuniko. Kawaii, energetic shoujo who can kick butt! Show started off when she has to decide to take over her aging grandma as the leader of a guerrilla group (Metal-Age). Kuniko seems very clever too, so I sort of expected Lelouch-style tactics, but that never really hap.. Ahem.. Or learn more fighting techniques.... Ahem Ahem

Character development also falls a bit short, sure there are many life-changing events in the show, and Kuniko has her ups and downs, it is just didn't leave a deep enough impression on the viewers... (at least for me)

Carbon markets. I don't much about economics, but I feel the econs language used in the show is too baffling for the average anime viewer! This is both a good and bad point. It excites the geeks, who will probably find it SOPHISTICATED, but it turns the causal viewer off. I don't think any schooling children can understand.

The shows still ends with a LOT of un-answered questions. They threw almost everything at the viewers, packed in the last episode. ( Can someone tell me why Kuniko is always in her seifuku when I don't see any evidence of her schooling, and nobody else wears it in the show! ! ! Calm down. Calm down. It's an anime :p )

Now the joke of the (final) episode. When a flying fortress, satellite fails, what would our heros/heroines do? Yeah great. They 'hack' the evil A.I. with...... toy-hammers, HAMEHAME-HA !

Bye Bye Gina-chan, Polka-dots



Cute "DEATH NOTE" cosplay!
