Heiji’s Appearances

31 03 2008

I don’t know if you like Heiji or are as curious as I am as to the episodes in which Hattori Heiji appears in.

But after much hardwork and sourcing, I found this website that has all the episodes that Heiji has so far appeared in.

I mean, instead of going through ep by ep (don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind doing that, it is just that 400 eps is ALOT), now I am able to find out which eps Heiji appears in. Thank You whoever you are who set up that site!!!

alright… so here is the link

I just think that the smarty pants is so adorable. (o^_^o)

Moyashimon Review

31 03 2008

Moyashimon on ANN

You know those weird anime that keeps you partially entertained and can be quite cute or fun at times?

Moyashimon is that type of anime.

Don’t expect drama.
Don’t expect action.
Don’t expect deep complex plots that dive into the human psychic.

While Moyashimon might not be exactly what you call brainless with it’s overload of information on bacteria and agriculture. It is not metaphysics either. The story can be quite funny and interesting at times with cute bacteria’s with their high pitch voices filling up your screen. (i wish bacterias were really that cute) and the characters are quite funny at times. Well, more eccentric than funny.

Honestly, after watching ep 3, I have a feeling that people might lose their appetite for sake. =_=”

You may choose to hear and be educated on the different bacterias that exist and the ways of making sake.

Either that or,

You make turn a deaf ear to the overload of information and just watch the cute characters bouncing around the screen.

Personally, this is an anime that I would watch just to kill my time.
It is not boring, but like I said, it isn’t anything much either,
Afterall, it is only a 11episode anime.

Recommended for -
Those who like cute creatures crawling all over your screen or agriculture otakus.
Also recommended for other humans that can see bacteria with their own eyes.
Do let me know if you have that power, I would be interested in being your friend.

NOT Recommended for –
People with better things to do in life.

Rating – 6/10 (up to ep 4)

Who knows if i will actually get down to finishing this series. While I may not have better things to do in life (evidence- the fact that I am watching this anime right after I have completed my work at 2am in the morning). I do have other things to do, like actually wash the dishes. ^.^

-update-

Just finish the series. It is not too bad actually. I still stand by the fact that it is nothing big or special. But it is different.

Rating – 7/10 (as the series goes on there are a few comical moments and you grow to love those microorganisms.

-ra out!





Just some thoughts

31 03 2008

I just saw the raw of ep 13 for season 4 and by the way things are looking, it seems like there would most likely be another season for Major.

The previous seasons have all been 26 episodes each and right now the anime is still on the Bats arc without having gone into the Baseball World Cup arc of the manga.
My guess would be they might do what they did in Season 2 and split it up into the qualifiers for the Baseball World Cup being in Season 4 and if there is another season of Major, they would have it be about the Baseball World Cup.
If this were to happen then that would give enough time for the manga to carry on and eventually by 2010 they would be able to do another season.

Anyway,  I have no idea, this is just me guessing. While I am happy to see more of Major, I am just hoping that it does not get draggy. So far it does not seem like much of a problem. Just have to wait and see.





Supanova 2008 Melbourne

30 03 2008

The 2008 Supanova took place at the Melbourne Show Grounds on Saturday the 29th of March.

I wont say that I had the best fun there because I did not. It was alright. But because it was a pop convention rather than an anime convention, could not help but feel bored at certain times.

Anyway, here are some pictures of what went on and my take on them. ^^

First up! We have the famous Dante VS Human on the DDR machine.
Apparently dante wanted to have some fun dancing.
Also at the event was… THE HULK!
I know! He is not green! That stinks right?
And you can see racial harmony at work here.
People playing with their Pokemon and other cards.
Those tables were suppose to be for people to eat at!! T_T
And then you have the Dollfie store.
Well, they did not sell much dollfies, BUT, it was more of a promotion thing.
Dollfie parties and things like that. Check out their webbie: http://moggie.mine.au/shop
awww, a teenage boy and a….. no idea what it was…
Don’t you think that this one is a tad bit pale and flat??
Yes, that is an empty wrestling ring. They had an aussie wrestling match inside the place.
It was quite cool, and the noise made when they fell and got slammed into the ring was woah.
It must have been painful, you could see their skins turn red.
There was this store that sold movie film shots.
Limited editions film captures from the movies.
It was really cool.
And here you see a comic artist at work.
What is cosplay without the Suzumiya Haruhi fans.
The latest hit from the Japanese animation industry.
(I know it was in 2006, but still..)
And how can you go to an event that has anime without Naruto and the gang being there.
Standing right outside the PS3 promotion for a sing along game.
Maybe they had decided that being in the anime was too draggy and boring that they would be better off changing careers.
(I actually went to play that singing song… got drag along by my friend. =.=*
Oh the humliation.)
And guess who I saw at the both selling DVDs and such merchandise.
Fred Flinstones!
I guess he decided to crawl out of whatever rock he was hiding under and learn about how much more better DVDs are than cave drawings.
While eating some horribly made pizza from the Dominoes booth at the convention.
We spotted…
 
Cookie Monster!!!
or at least that was what i thought when i first saw it.
 But then…
Cookie Monster had a shell.. ^^;
I had no idea what the heck that was…
Then it hit me.
A weird squirtle from Pokemon.
But I applaud her for her effort in making the costume.
Guess what was shown on screen!
I actually sat down to watch an episode of Haruhi.
And I must admit that it was interesting. (i use to hate haruhi. She was so annoying.)
Which made me want to watch more of it. But they only showed an ep.
And for the best cosplay that i have EVER SEEN!
Now this is what I call a cosplay costume man!
It was so well done, even the skin on her hands and legs were the colour of an anime character.
I first notice her when I saw her legs from the back. I thought that it was really nice.
(Looked so smooth and perfect. I am not a pervert. Plus she was really tall. Around 6 ft maybe? So it was normal to notice her legs when she was wearing a mini skirt and all.)
Anyway, when i went to see why people wanted to take pictures with her, I thought she was hot or something.
And when I saw her face, I was so shocked.
It was so freaking cool! It looked so real!
It was like as though you were in the world of anime and the characters were real.
Check it out man!
I have no idea how she can see anything at all, but it is really cool.
Really nicely done.
10/10
Bravo!!
It was so realistic.
 And that concludes my day at the Supanova.
I had tonnes of fun and I hope you had fun reading what I had to say about the event.
I might not go next year though…. the Manifest is probably more of my thing.
-ra out!




Detective Conan Movie 11 – Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure

30 03 2008

DC movie on ANN

The Detective Conan 11th Movie is finally out and I have finally manage to watch it.

It was a nice typical Detective Conan story. Conan sloves the case and they lived in the land of Conan where time never pass happily ever after.

Honestly, you’d think that after more than a decade the kid would at least age by a year. But nope, with more than 500 eps and more than dunno how many hundred cases solved, he is still the same age.

But i still like this show.

Especially if Hattori Heiji were to appear in the show. But, sadly, he is nowhere to be seen in this movie. O well.

This movie is like an extension of a normal DC episode just like all the other DC movies. This one is about treasure hunting and diving, underwater caverns, and a buried treasure. Friendship, and waiting. However, I did not really like this movie. It was a very normal storyline with not much tension in it. I found it border lining on boring.

My favourite DC movie has still got to be The Phantom of Baker Street one. That was such an exciting movie to watch.  Not like this one. I just hope the next movie would be better.

Rating… 6/10
