QUOTE Wolf's Rain ![]() (Wallpaper, no idea if its official) My gosh, this one rings up my memory instantly, esp. the ending theme. A perfect example of BONES' work. I love CLAMP more, but BONES has certainly been great to me. I could not explain the world of Wolf's Rain w/o spoiling the story, so I will just say this. Excellent story, well woven continuity. On the surface, its about the journey of endangered wolfs who take human form, but the deeper individual plots eventually mainstreamed into one wholesome purpose. The peek of the story is effectively the ending (although some might not agree with me), which is a paradox on its own. The ending is neither resolved nor unexplained, leaving it largely to the thinking of the audiences. It certainly has left a impression in my mind. Wolf's Rain has gore and may not be suitable for children, but it definitely does not focus on violent, but more of a struggle for survival and future. Highly recommended.

I found an excellent source of anime and I'm using it to help me get through my anime cravings. I started out to find some short series, because I already have Bleach atm, and just started watching 07-Ghost.
I've finished Hellsing, Afro Samurai and Ayakashi in the past few weeks; currently I'm watching Blood+. (I already saw the movie, and this spin-off seemed interesting.) Afro Samurai ![]() A black samurai with a huge afro, hence the name Afro Samurai, wants to avenge his father's death. In the world of Afro Samurai, there are 2 supreme fighters: the Numer One and the Number Two. The Number One is the best fighter there is, and the Number Two is the only one who is allowed to challenge him. Afro's father used to be the Number One, who got slain by the Number Two, Justice. As we watch Afro following a path of to get his revenge, the story unfolds. Through flashbacks you get to see his life: the death of his father, his training, and his path to the current events. An interesting person in this story is a very chatty and lighthearted guy, who *seems* to be Afro's alter ego. Ayakashi ![]() An Ayakashi is a parasite life force that gives superpowers to its host. The cost of using this force is some kind of physical or mental impairment. Yū Kusaka is a student, who is possessed by an Ayakashi, one of the most powerful there is. However, he can't control his power yet, it's still slumbering. After he meets a girl named Eimu Yoake, his life takes some drastic turns. From that point on, he and Eimu face other Ayakashi and their hosts, trying to kill them. And slowly, the power within Yū awakens, just in time to save the world from "him", the one threatening to kill everyone alive. Also, I've watched the Hellsing series, both the normal one and the Ultimate OVA. ![]() The stories of the normal series and the Ultimate OAV are widely different, though. Hellsing is based on the Holy Order of Protestant Knights. The organization originated from Abraham Van Helsing, with his heir at the top. Their mission is to protect Queen and Country from the undead and other supernatural forces of evil. Alucard, the main character, is Hellsing's trump card: he's a vampire who vowed to serve the organization. In the normal series, Alucard and Hellsing face a force that's trying to eliminate Hellsing, using ghouls, vampires and a disturbed form of half-vampires which get named "freaks", created by implanting a so-called "freak chip" in a person. The Ultimate OVA deals also with a force trying to eliminate Hellsing, but here, the force is an organization called Millennium. This organization found it's origin in the Second World War, it was an attempt of the German forces to create soldiers who would go on where others would fall. My latest discovery: Blood+ ![]() Saya Otonashi is a high school student, adopted by a man who has opened his life for 3 orphans. She has no memories of her past, she just has occasional flashbacks. And those are signs of a horrific life. At one night, Saya’s happy life is shattered when she is attacked by a chiropteran, a monster. Haji, a mysterious man with a cello on his back, comes to her rescue. From that point on her life gets turned upside down. She learns that she is the only one who can defeat the chiropterans, and that Haji is some kind of guardian to her. She joins ranks with an organization called Red Shield, and embarks on a journey to kill chiropterans and rediscover her identity. The journey reveals the origin of the chiropterans and Saya's gruesome past, which extends into the mid-19th century. This post has been edited by Timotheus: May 5 2009, 01:42 AM

I use Myanimelist.net
Here's a link to my profile This site has an App that automatically updates your profile while you watch your anime. Since I'm following 11 series at the same time it helps a lot to keep track of where I am, and if I take a break from a series I won't loose my spot.

I dislike monitor, it feels like I'm watching too much. Which I'm.
"Blood+" is good, although the drawing style is too bleak. I believe it could have had better rating if Saya is more stunning. Same with many of the minor characters. The story is actually good enough to go more than 50 episodes. But then, the rating might not have gone that bad if its not put against "Major", which isn't good enough no matter how you look at it. There are plenty of baseball animes far superior than "Major", I'm so surprise the fifth season has begun, still with stable rating. For god sake, the major character has only fastball, with which isn't that fast to begin. Now at least he learned a bit folk. Really, if pros only know this much, nobody should watch baseball at all. And Goro Honda has gone international... give me a break already. I suppose its true that with baseball anything goes in Japan.

I've found a new series of epps I like, called Konjiki no Gash Bell!!
![]() Exactly 100 demons come to the human world once every 1,000 years, to fight each other. Last demon standing will become the new Demon King. Every demon has it's own special skills, which are recorded in special books. These books will be held by a human, and the spells will be revealed to the human (thus usable in battle) as their experience increases. Gash Bell is a demon boy, who suffers from amnesia after being sent to Earth. Kiyo Takamine is a genius high school student, who lives most of his life alone. The appearance of Gash Bell changes this, and they fight together for Gash to become the new Demon King. This post has been edited by Timotheus: May 28 2009, 09:26 PM
