BONES Buzz: Eureka seveN: Astral Ocean Conference (w/ PV)

This week I’m delving back into Studio BONES’ next work, Eureka seveN: AO (Astral Ocean) because we got some pretty extensive information on February 16th!

BONES held a conference with some cast and crew working on the project, also announcing who else was to be involved in the completion of this sequel. Luckily I was able to catch the livestream that morning, so I’ve got a few pictures saved in my folder from it!

And if that wasn’t enough, we got a PV at the end too.

February 16th was a very good day.

So let’s get to it!

Johan Joestar’s Top 25 Anime/Manga Characters – Part 4

YAY, I’M UNEMPLOYED!

Wait. Fuck. I’m unemployed.

Oh well, at least I can blog again. Even if I am two days late.

Anyway, time to resume my characters thing. Going from 10 through 6 this time.

10.

Shou Azama (Akumetsu)

Have you ever wondered if society would be better off by forgoing the justice system and just straight-up killing the corrupt? And whether we could save our world gone wrong by doing so? And what if one man was given the power to do this?

To those of you who are now calling this a Death Note ripoff, you're idiots.

Mecha Munch: R-R-R-R-REDLINE!!

Start your engines, folks: this Monday is focusing on Takeshi Koike’s REDLINE!

Its… sort of mecha; I mean there’s tricked out cars and one is a giant magic fueled fanservice bot.

Close enough.

BONES Buzz: Gearing up for MORE Sky-Surfing Robots in a Matter of Months!

December 22nd 2011:

1. Eka arrives to school for another boring first period class, suddenly learning that the class has a free period to get some work done. Thus, she pulls out her laptop to work as well as mindlessly browse the web.

2. Surfing around and remaining in a zombie-like trance as she scrolls through her dashboard on Tumblr, she comes across an article entitled ‘Eureka seveN Sequel Manga announced.’

3. Intrigued and pleasantly surprised by this news, she hunts down the source and posts about it on various other websites in order to spread the word and build up some hype. She can hardly keep a straight face with this news; it’s been over five years since the original anime, after all!

4. Period 2 begins and computers are once again allowed. Drifting back into that zombie-like state, she comes across quite the eye-catching picture online that is filed under the announcement of the E7 sequel.

This can’t possibly be for the manga; it looks good enough to be animated! And what’s this? ‘TV Series’?

On air?

APRIL 2012?!

Johan Joestar’s Top 25 Anime/Manga Characters – Part 3

Dear Real Life,

Stop it.

Sincerely, Johan Joestar.

So yeah, I got a job. At a chain store. In the center of one of the busiest shopping districts in the country. In December. You can probably see how I’ve not had the time to do this.

But rest assured, this blog is still updating, however slow. Everyone’s kinda busy at the moment. The blogs will eventually go through a reform when everyone’s got their shit together.

For now, though, characters 15 through 11. Enjoy.

15.

Balsa (Seirei no Moribito)

Balsa is many things. She’s an extremely dangerous warrior, rivaled in her skill with a spear by almost none. She’s a weary and experienced veteran of combat, whose only quest is to atone for the lives she’s taken. And as of taking in Chagum as her final life to save, she is now an adoptive mother.

BONES Buzz: Further Delving into ‘UN-GO’

I come bearing more buzz of the BONES variety, and a good 4 weeks late at that. All of our lives have been exceptionally busy, so please bear with us.

I’ve returned to speak of UN-GO, BONES’ latest that is actually coming to an end in a matter of weeks. I discussed my suspicions two posts ago, believing that this was going to end up as a total bore. It wasn’t an original story by them, the character designs looked like something out of a Tim Burton claymation, and the characters… well… seemed like they didn’t even fit the description of their title. No ‘character’ whatsoever.

UN-GO is a nice 8 episodes into its story with only 3 episodes left to cover; they probably felt they didn’t have much confidence if they made this series long, and I don’t blame them. I wouldn’t want to sit through 25 episodes of mysteries being solved, thank you very much. Whether or not they’ll continue and make a second season is up to its popularity, and from what I’ve seen of the show… it’s quite the swing-and-a-miss. But, from its last two episodes that have aired… things could turn around.

Johan Joestar’s Top 25 Anime/Manga Characters – Part 2

Well. Real life happened, so I didn’t manage to get a blog out yesterday. And real life happened hard.

But anyway, I shall continue from where I left off. Now, we do numbers 20 through 16 of my 25 favourite anime and manga characters.

20.

Char Aznable (Mobile Suit Gundam UC)

Char Aznable is sort of like anime’s answer to Han Solo and Darth Vader combined into one character. He’s an enigmatic, masked antagonist, working for an oppressive empire, who also happens to the most ridiculously, effortlessly cool and charismatic being in existence.

Johan Joestar’s Top 25 Anime/Manga Characters – Part 1

So… I’ve been mighty inactive lately. A lot of stuff has happened, but I’m kind of employed now and have less time for bloggings.

However, that does not mean I’m gonna neglect my duties any longer. So for the next 5 days, you’re going to be treated to my top 25 anime and manga characters, 5 characters at a time.

Keep in mind that while I try to use objective comparison where I can, this is obviously a subjective list, being my favourites and all. Yes, there are objectively better characters from anime I’ve seen that won’t be included here, simply for this being a far looser version than the lists I usually do.

So, without further delay, here are number 25 through 21 of my 25 favourite anime and manga characters ever.

25.

Funny Valentine (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run)

Funny Valentine is quite possibly the ultimate villain. He’s smart, he’s chivalrous, he’s evil, he’s charismatic, he’s unpredictable, he’s fabulous, he’s charming, he’s terrifying, and holy goddamn is he overpowered.

BONES Buzz: Towa no Quon (Films)

Beings with special powers + an organization bent on destroying every last one + a main character bent on saving every last one + absolutely gorgeous animation = BONES’ next movie series, known as Towa no Quon.

Caught with my pants down.

Sorry, guys. I got a new job this week and it’s a handful.

The blog WILL be here this week. I’m putting this placeholder here to force myself to do it.

It will be sometime Thursday or Friday. Whenever I can soonest watch an anime and then have a few spare hours to write. lol

So yeah. It’ll happen. It’s just gonna be late.

Peace out, True Believers.
