Ghost in the Shell: Innocence (movie)

this is about gynoids going amuck and killing their owners. gynoids, btw, are androids created only for ***, the 1st of their kind. again, this takes bateau, kusanagi, and the section 9 into a rather good mess while they again ponder a lot of philosophical stuff.

great CG and i liked bateau's assault on the gynoid sub. lupit. :D

Orguss 02 (OAV)

you'd actually need to watch the original Orguss as well to get a better background on this. anyway, it's about 2 warring kingdoms who use excavated war machines called "decimators" to wage their wars. apparently, this world is a collage of 4 worlds accidentally "meshed" together by a space-time oscillation bomb which was set off in the original Orguss series. while the 2 kingdom's continuous war leads to a showdown between each kingdom's huge decimator, a cyborg from the world which created the excavated decimators seeks to right what their world did wrong and fixes the space-time oscillation bomb to put these 4 worlds back together in their original state. the cyborg succeeds in the end, aided by a native of the current planet and a girl who was a descendant of an alien race from another world.

basically, everything that didn't belong to each world vanished in the end and were returned to where they were supposed to be, including the cyborg and the decimators, and the alien girl. the decimators would still be invented by the people in the future...but in the meantime, peace takes over after the conflict in the meantime.

Even during a pandemic, a anime movie is able to break a movie opening record in Japan...

Millions of Movie Goers Defy Pandemic in Japan’s Record Opening - Bloomberg




The film took in a box office of 4.62 billion yen ($44 million) in the three days, the movie’s distributor announced. That blew past estimates and more than doubled the previous record held by “Frozen 2.”

SKULLMAN

Skull Man was created by manga artist Shotaro Ishinomori in 1970 and was a big hit. The hero was orphaned when his parents were murdered and grew up to use his special powers to take revenge. Skull Man was one of manga’s first anti-heroes, a hero with a dark side in his quest for vengeance.

Skull Man is what Kamen Rider was supposed to be but the series was deemed too violent. He then reworked the concept and Kamen Rider was created.

In the late 90s, before Ishinomori’s death, the ill manga master contacted young mangaka Kazuhiko Shimamoto to do a remake (but more like a continuation) of the original Skull Man with this remake boasting an extensive, continuing storyline and more complex artwork.
Skull Man was rcently adapted into a TV anime series which premiered on Fuji TV in April 2007. A live action version “Episode Zero” aired on April 21st, titled “Skullman: Prologue of Darkness,” staring Ami Suzuki and Kamen Rider Hibiki and Death Note’s Shigeki Hosokawa

Bleach

Bleach is a new anime series that follows the life of a 15 year old boy by the name of Kurosaki Ichigo. Ichigo is not any average boy; he has the ability to see and communicate with ghosts and spirits. This stems from his other unusual trait: awesome, untapped Spiritual energy. Ichigo does what he can for the spirits he meets, until a Hollow (evil soul spirit) attacks him and his family. To the rescue comes a female Shinigami (Death God) named Kuchiki Rukia. Rukia chases the Hollow off, and is astounded by the fact that Ichigo can see her and the Hollow, which most mortals cannot. She explains that Shinigami have two duties: to lead the “Pluses” (good souls) to their rest in Soul Society, and to exterminate Hollows, who endanger them. All Shinigami carry a Zanpakutou, or Soul Slayer, with which they can release the Pluses and kill the Hollows. These Zanpakutou resemble katanas in their shape and size. The Hollow comes back at this point to menace the pair again, and Rukia is badly wounded. She thrusts her Zanpakutou into Ichigo’s body, intending to transfer enough of her power into him to enable him to destroy the Hollow….except his soul takes all her power, and combines it with his own, which enables him to dispatch the Hollow with ease. Thus begins Ichigo’s journey, as high-school student and part-time Death God!


DeathNote

Light Yagami is a 17-year old kid who’s top in his class yet has a pretty normal life aside from his incessant studying. One day his eyes fall over a notebook laying on the ground outside of his school. Reading the English cover, “Death Note,” and noticing that the writing inside is also in English, Light decides to take it home to read it. Within the next 5 days, Light has already killed many just by watching and recording names of criminals from the news. The Death Note enables him to kill anyone whose face and real name is known. To know more about the rules of the notebook read the terms of the Death Note. Picking up the notebook once more, a monstrous creature appears and speaks to Light, introducing himself as a Shinigami (God of Death) named Ryuk. Ryuk tells Light that only the owner of the Death Note can see him and that he, Light, is now the owner of it and may use it as he chooses. If Light does not want to keep the notebook, he may give it to someone else and Ryuk will erase all related memories from his mind. The notebook bonds both Light and Ryuk, but any mental pain will be delivered to Light alone. He then decides that no matter what it takes, no matter who gets involved, Light will cleanse the world of evil criminals. Although Light is doing a pretty good job gathering up bad guys, when he is interrupted by a top detective by the label “L.”

^In super robot anime, the characters would also shout the transformation or attack. I was amused that the transformation word here is "make up". What say you, Cathy? Ha ha!
