Episode 1-26 Briefing

Warning: the following parts contain heavy spoilers. Read at your own risks.*^_^*
Story telling and details are based on Japanese version only. The story interpretation is solely from Nameless.

EP 1 "Kiru!" (斬る!)--Cut Throat

It opens with a peaceful scene of farm girl and boy sitting in the middle of green paddy fields.  A sudden appearance of Nobuseri brings shadow to the smile of a  farmer who checks his rice.

The camera shifts to the battleground where airships, floating fortress, robot soldiers and samurais fight in a blood shedding world. Kambei gives his order to Shichiroji of last blow to the enemy flagship and an attempt to break through the surrounding in order to save his soldiers as many as possible...

In Kanna village (Kanna means "No gods" or "where gods left"), people are praying for water maiden Kirara to locate their new source of water for irrigation. At the village meeting, a bold decision is made: to hire Samurai who are hungry, provide them rice, ask for their protection against the upcoming marauding from the Harvesting Fortress of Nobuseri. Kirara, accompanied by Rikichi, carrying all the rice of Kanna, starts their journey to search for Samurais who are willing to wave their swords for civilians.

Dragon Crisis: Critic

Opinions expressed in this post toward Dragon Crisis anime is all from Nameless's personal peer.

Dragon Crisis finished its 12 episodes anime version by end of March, 2011. Based on a light novel of Kaya Kizaki, this Studio DEEN anime production is nothing but disappointing.

Ryūji Kisaragi,the hero, is a high school student with high profile parents in the profession of Lost Precious--relics from ancient times that usually are embodied with extreme strong power. The meeting of his cousin Eriko begets a reunion of Ryūji and the Red Dragon Rose. Other dragon species and several more pieces of Lost Precious involved later did not make the anime better.

Samurai 7: Renewal Sect 1

Introduction and the Seven

Samurai 7 anime (2004) is based on Kurosawa Akira's homonymous movie (also translated as Seven Samurai) of 1954. Setting in the Sengoku Period Japan, it tells a story of a small poverty striken village' survival counter attack, with seven samurais, against Nobuseri and the after-harvest marauding.

Based on homonymous novel, anime Shinrei Tantei Yakumo tells supernatural stories brought by a young university student who has a CRIMSON EYE that can see the souls of the dead.

Introduction: Yakumo, born with a red left eye, is treated as an other and experiences attempt of murder from his own mother when he is a kid. Saved by a police detective Gotou from the hands of his mom, Yakumo asks "why did you save me?" In fact he has ultra strong sense of justice and a sympathy for those souls he sees as being wronged or murdered. He is confused by his otherness. He even tries to commit suicide because he feels it's his guilt that  his mother  went crazy and died due to his otherness. A girl from his university changes Yakumo's life....

Darker Than Black

For some reason Nameless remembers this animation today. To me, DTB is not as complicated as to decide which side is right and which side is wrong. It is more a search of the reason for existence. For Contractor or Doll, to find a reason to go on is important.

Arakawa Under the BridgexBridge

Yesterday I finished watching this season of Arakawa. I really enjoyed this animation. Not only the stories are funny, some of them laughed me to death, also they are very novel. I like every character  because they are all so alive and impressive. Most pictures are from internet. All rights of the pictures are reserved by original author/producer. Nameless claims no copyright of the pictures in this post.
