Jack In, Ghost In The Shell : Stand Alone Complex  posté le lundi 17 juillet 2006 15:12

In the near future, mankind has found a way to augment human limbs, organs and even brains with mechanical, electronic and even network-capable parts; thus giving the possibility of enhancing the human body, its functions and more. Dying humans preserve their minds and likenesses into computers and mechanical bodies, and then allow the brain to directly connect to computer networks. At a glance, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a human and cyborg, as they are built to their exact form. These modifications would soon be used to increase strength, speed, stamina, eyesight and other skills. It also opens the whole world through the network every person and electronic device is connected to. Though it would also mean criminals and other dregs of the underworld would have access to these and would make it dangerous for everyone.

An elite task force called Public Peace Section 9 was formed in order to handle these speacial situations that involve cyborgs, machines and robots. Section 9 is composed of both flesh and blood humans and cyborgs and are all topnotch in each field of duty they perform. They are the ones who take on highly advanced criminals in the chaotic era humans AND cyborgs co-exist in.

With the following that Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell movie has, Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex was sure to be a hit among the old and new fans. Produced by Production I.G, and with direct input from the Ghost in the Shell's creator, Shirow Masamune; GitS : Stand Alone Complex was one of the best animes 2002. Also adding into the mix is music composition by Yoko Kanno, the best anime score and songwriter in my opinion.

The series has a gritty feel of what the future holds for us, beautifully depicted through seamless CGI and traditional animation techniques. The story has a good pace, though sometimes losing the audience in complicated situations but manages to keep it clean. The art is wonderful and the animation is gorgeous, very similar to the GitS movie. Fight scenes excite the audience ---- and the plots keep them on their toes. Origa's "Inner Universe" opens the show wonderfully with enchanting Russian lyrics, while the background music sets the mood for each episode. At the end, Steve Conte's Lithium Flower doesn't fail to soothe you with his voice.

Overall, Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex is a must-watch, espacially if you're a fan of futuristic, cyberpunk and action genres.


Characters

Major Motoko Kusanagi ( VA : Tanaka Atsuko ) :

 

The leader of Section 9, strong-willed, responsible and very skilled. Her body is almost composed entirely of mechanical parts; only her brain and spinal chord remain human. Her specialties are Cybernetic Hacking, Code Breaking, Network Surveillance and her close combat fighting skills are excellent.

In the series, we see her as a calm, cool and composed leader who knows what to do at any given situation, although she can sometimes be reckless, she backs it up with skill and power.

 

Daisuke Aramaki ( VA : Saka Osamu ) :

 

Section 9’s Chief Officer and founder, he handles investigations, negotiations with higher ups and gives briefings for Section 9’s missions. Like Togusa, he has few body modifications. He acts as the central brain for Section 9’s tasks and does his work well.

 

Batou ( VA : Otsuka Akio ) :

 

His body enhancements are more focused on strength and physical abilities like enhanced vision and endurance. He is fond of the mechanical blue tank robots called “Tachikomas”, he even rides some in the span of the series.

He acts as a mediator and partner for Motoko, giving her advice and calming her at some points. He always tries to support Motoko in the field, and even off-duty.

 

Ishikawa ( VA : Nakano Yutaka ) :

 

Section 9’s Hacker and Digital Intelligence agent. He does his work on computers, mainframes and in networks, with his cybernetic fingers that split into multiple branches to help speed up typing when doing hacking work.

 

Togusa ( VA : Yamadera Kouichi ) :

 

One of the very few members of Section 9 who doesn’t have much cybernetic enhancements ( he only has some enhancements on his brain ). Togusa uses an old six-shooter and does work the old-school way. On technological and computer-based skills, Togusa may not match Motoko or Batou but in shooting skill and field tactics, Togusa can sure deliver.

 

Saitou ( VA : Ohkawa Toru ) :

 

Carrying long firearms, Saitou is designated as the heavy weapons expert. He comes in to do his job when deadly force is needed. He uses rocket launchers, missiles, tanks, heavy machine guns and of course, his sniper rifle which is aided by his left eye modification which enables him to aim at enemies with deadly accuracy.

The Genetics Of Love, DNAngel  posté le mercredi 19 juillet 2006 06:25

Clumsy, stupid, unreliable, shy. That’s what Niwa Daisuke thinks of himself. As if that’s not enough, he also has a weird family ! On his fourteenth birthday however, he decided to change his fate forever and confessed love to Harada Risa. Unfortunately, Risa dumped him and said that what she really wanted was somebody “tall, dark, and dangerous”. But destiny had something great in store for Daisuke. On that same day, his family revealed to him that he is in fact the reincarnation of the phantom thief, Dark Mousy. Daisuke’s DNA, reacts to love and passion. Whenever this reaction occurs, he transforms into Dark. Dark’s mission is to steal known artifacts and steal the object that he is assigned to steal, he will stay in that form forever.

DNAngel is an anime with an amusing plot and a very complicated love story ( not really complicated although XD ). Daisuke likes Risa, but Risa likes Dark, Dark on the other hand likes Risa and Riku’s grandmother, while Riku likes Daisuke. And somewhere in the middle of the series, this love polygon will take an interesting turn, something you all have to watch for ! Aside from the fantastic storyline, DNAngel also offers an interesting rooster of characters including the archenemy Krad, which as the name implies is Dark’s opposite. Each character also has a certain degree of uniqueness that you’d learn to love all of them. In fact, even the villains are likable ! Despite being more of a shoujou anime, DNAngel offers just the right dose of action sequences to keep the boys interested. Another thing to note also is that this anime is not too long or too short. In 26 episodes, the story is given its rightful justification and in the end loose strings are tied together. Aside from the one-of-a-kind story, what makes DNAngel really a must-see is its art. The combination of Yukiru Sugisaki’s and some computers generated images is almost flawless and cute !

All in all, DNAngel is a highly entertaining mix of romance, comedy, adventure and intrigue. So, what are you waiting for ? Grab a copy now ! :P



Characters :

Niwa Daisuke :

 

A 14 years old boy who has been trying hard to change his impression of himself ( a clumsy and unreliable guy ) and prove that he is worthy of Harada Risa’s attention. He also happens to be the human counterpart of the Phantom Thief, Dark.

 

Harada Riku :

 

She might be Risa’s identical twin but they definitely have different personalities. Riku is sporty and boyish unlike Risa. However despite her boyish front, she’s secretly in love with Daisuke.

 

Uizu, With or Wiz :

 

The cute strawberry-lover-rabbit-look-alike-sidesick of Daisuke. But he’s more than just a fur ball. He transforms into the black wings that Dark uses to be able to fly. He has been passed on from generation to generation to every boy who becomes the Phantom Thief. ( So how old is this fellow ? =3 )

 

Dark Mousy :

 

a.k.a The Legendary Phantom Thief. He steals known artifacts and seals them in order to break the curse bestowed upon the said relics. He lives inside Daisuke’s body.

 

Harada Risa :

 

The girl of Daisuke’s dreams but has her eyes set on Dark because she says that she wants someone who’s taller than her, cool and mysterious. She is also Riku’s identical twin.

 

Hiwatari ( Hikari ) Satoshi :

 

Daisuke’s classmate who is currently the Commander-in-Chief of the police headquarters in-charge of going against Dark. This boy genius is also the human counterpart of Krad.

Peace to the Lost, Chrno Crusade  posté le mercredi 19 juillet 2006 15:48

This manga based 24 episode series brings the highlight to a first-class demon that killed a hundred of his kind in one blow. Chrno became the most ruthless demon and was feared in Pandaemonium ( the so-called-hell ) but is actually a demon with a good cause. For personal reasons, he wanted to change something. Chrno doesn’t want demons to devour on humans again. This pathetic principle for a demon became the root of misunderstanding between best friends’ Chrno and Aion. Aion fought Chrno and managed to break his horn and was also able to seal his powers, thus turning Chrno’s physical appearance look like a 12-year old.

The year was 1924, New York City… Chaos was starting to spread out as the evil forces are threatening the existence of the human race. Little by little events that are silently taking over caught the attention of the Magdalan Order, a religious militaristic organization that lurks in the shadows. One of them is Rosette Christopher, a young novice nun from the Magdalan Order and her partner and best friend Chrno are sent to different missions. During one of their missions, they met Azmaria Hendric, a young girl with supernatural powers that is somehow connected to Joshua Christopher, Rosette’s younger brother who was kidnapped several years by Aion. Aion is an overly ambitious demon that has big plans for the future of the entire world and will go any lengths to achieve his great “dream of freedom”. For this to happen, Aion needs the help of 7 very special people. He will use their powers to fulfill his real plan that was really unknown to most of them. Rosette and Chrno are determined to find out, but they will have to face the uncanning past of Chrno which he tries to escape. Will they be able to save Joshua and everybody else from Aion’s threat and pay a very high price for it ? Will they survive the test that will surely see through their bond ? There is only one way to find out… 



Charcaters


Chrno :

 

Chrno was once a high-ranking, powerful demon, but now he’s considered a traitor by those of his own kind. He betrayed the demon society to follow Aion’s dream of freedom, however, their different ideas soon separated them. Chrno was sealed inside a tomb for 50 years before meeting Rosette and made a contract with her at her request. Despite the deadly bond that ties cares about her and serves her unconditionally.

 

Rosette Christopher :

 

Rosette is an exorcist of the Magdalan Order, which she joined 4 years ago after loosing her younger brother Joshua, her only living relative, who was kidnapped by Aion. Rosette is very rebellious and constantly gets into trouble, yet she is valued in the Order as a very capable exorcist.

 

Azmaria Hendric :

She traveled across the country with a band of singers, until she was adopted by Ricardo Hendric, a demon tamer who wanted to use her powers to revive his dead wife Melda. Since the supernatural powers she has have always been a real source of despair for her, and the cause of many tragedies in her life, she has grown to be a very weak submissive girl, afraid to fight for herself. Meeting Rosette and Chrno was a turning point in her life, and she is determined to change and become a brave person like Rosette, who she really admires.
