Copy and paste.

I liked this series very much. More focus on story and characters, no moe stuff, no megane, no siscon or meido, no unnecessary humor, no fan service, no giga drill etc. My kinda stuff, I don't expect it to be popular with AS crowd.

Cheers.

Kimi ni Todoke / 君に届け

Stormy001_M1A2 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:46:08 +0800

Kimi ni Todoke. Good romance story, based on award winning manga series (2006 Best Manga). There will be live action version soon next year.

Noto Mamiko will be main voice actress for this one, animated by famous Production I.G.

Main Site

Plot Summary: Kimi ni Todoke is about a girl named Kuronuma Sawako. She is nicknamed Sadako (from The Ring) because many people see her as strange and often mistake her for a ghost. A boy called Kazehaya kun becomes her friend and, to her, is "100% refreshness."

I enjoyed Nodame and Honey & Clover, so this might be in my interest too.

Kiddy Girland

Stormy001_M1A2 — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:43:09 +0800

It will start on 15th October, replacing Haruhi slot and I guess most fans of old series will rejoice on this. The creators (Keiji Gotoh and Hidefumi Kimura) managed to get funding for it. Story is set 5 centuries after our era, 2 centuries after Kiddy Grade (2002) concluded. Satelight (studio behind Macross Frontier) will be animating this instead of GONZO.

Solid Snake is real

Embarrassed officials were at a loss to explain how Jean-Pierre Treiber, 45, a double murder suspect, managed to elude detection in the box he had built himself at a workshop in the high security prison of Auxerre, Burgundy.
With its hidden human cargo, the box was loaded with dozens of others onto a lorry for delivery to the Yonne region, southeast of Paris.

Who say Metal Gear is fake? See, you can escape prison in the box, Solid Snake style. Don't play play....

Astro is under threat

Stormy001_M1A2 — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 08:18:35 +0800

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 2 — In what could be a major policy U-turn, Datuk Seri Rais Yatim is reviewing Astro’s exclusive 20 year operating licence as his ministry battles with the pay-TV company to include more government-friendly and 1 Malaysia programming......

(snip)

Astro has had several run-ins with the ministry over its programming with government officials grumbling that opposition politicians get better airplay in several channels. The satellite TV operator says it gives equal airplay to politicians from both sides of the divide.

(snip)

His officials have taken special umbrage over talkshows in Astro’s own Awani channel and Al-Jazeera, privately blaming them for the wave of dissent against the Barisan Nasional government, particularly by ethnic Indians in a rare November 2007 protest.

Yeap....we may lose Astro if things go wrong.

New disaster anime series project from Bones cooperating with Cinema Citrus, slated for July 2009 release.

Story about a young woman who is a delivery person and 2 children (one kid and a school girl) trying to survive an aftermath of Richter 8.0 scale Kanto Plain Earthquake (In 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, which it is registered at 8.3 Richter scale caused at least 100,000 - 140,000 deaths) that slammed Tokyo in contemporary setting.

This is a very interesting anime series and I will definitely follow it since it is not the usual anime moeshit that I got bored of nowadays.

Stormy001_M1A2 — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 10:22:34 +0800

Very lyrical in motion poetry. Very beautiful anime.

Strictly for people who looking for deeper meaning in anime. Not for moetards or Narutards.
