How To Operate A Caterpillar D6

PIPIRU Piru Piru PIPIRU PI ... Yazawa

No, I have not drunk the brain, or rather, that stuff is now the past for a while '... :-D

you think you can make a mixing kawaii anime, fanservice, blood and gore by the gallon, angels, bouts of dysentery, a mace that hurts just looking at it (name: EXCALIBORG) and much, much humor insane?
Well, if you can tolerate the high doses and total madness of the items above, you can look at Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan
(literally sounds more or less "Dokuro, the angel you a mallet death "), the last effort of the author's crazy director Guu Jungle wa Itsumo Hale NOCHE! ^ __ ^

I swear, this series is to say that is crazy is an understatement, and we are just the first episode!! :-P

PS: The phrase is meaningless subject of the magic formula that Dokuro, the little angel, star of the series, used to revive the ill-fated protagonist who is regularly beaten up by her (literally, see images) ! :-D

Bible Verse On Relaxation

live!

It must have been a coincidence, but today I came across two products "live" taken from the manga by Ai Yazawa, an author I love it.

In fact the first "meeting" was not the finished product, but with two very short teaser.
therefore can not say much about the live NANA, but surely as physical appearance, the two actresses (absolutely unknown to me) and starring the main characters that seem more appropriate!!
appearance in glory ...


In the evening, I saw the movie Kagen no tsuki , taken from ' eponymous manga which we call " Last moonbeams " a manga rather short (only 3 numbers, if I remember correctly) but really well written by Yazawa.
Before watching this film, I was skeptical like every time I get ready to watch something "live" adapted from comic books ...
But this film has proved a very pleasant surprise! Really beautiful and engaging!
The story follows fairly closely that of the comic, although there are differences in the final and one in particular is quite large and may or may not like.
But apart from that, the result is pleasing and well done, in some ways maybe even better Cartoon!
As for the actors, not least know the protagonist (aridaje), while the character of "Adam" is played by nientepopodimenochè Hide of Arc en Ciel .
^ __ ^ The choice is doubly apt, and because I think it is much better than to play the character of a famous singer is a real popular singer (rather than one that tries to pretend to be) when possible, and then because Adam would be half-Japanese , and also has effects in somatic Hide slightly west. In addition, I like
Hide a sneaking suspicion that putting one of the protagonists has been an attraction in tow and a more considerable for many (but especially many) fans, do not you? ,-D
The only regret is that the subtitled version I saw was a horrible Divx quality, bordering on the unwatchable ...
Fortuna, however, dictates that the original version on DVD has English subtitles, and this automatically implies that my credit card will weep bitter tears for the umpteenth time! :-DDDDD

Unsecured Surveillance Cameras

Shinsengumi


Whoever knows me well enough knows how passionate to the historical figure of the Shinsengumi, the fearsome wolves Mibu.
This police force composed of skilled swordsmen (and also by unscrupulous mercenaries, to be frank) was established and based in Kyoto at the behest of the shogunate during the last tumultuous years of the Tokugawa era.
Their aim was to maintain order and fight the samurai rebels who opposed the shogun and demanded the return to power of the emperor.
Feared and respected by ordinary people at the same time, they almost all have a bad end and could not resist the inexorable restoration of the emperor.
OK, fine lesson in history "chenonglienesbatteunamazzaanessuno" for those who want to know more, you slam the usual wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinsengumi or this great site: http://www.shinsengumihq.com ! :-D

The first time I "ran" in the Shinsengumi was thanks to Rurouni Kenshin , and my favorite character in that series: the Shinsengumi Hajime Saito, head of the third squadron of attack.
Since that time, I gathered information on their history and soon discovered that the Shinsengumi were and are still among the most popular historical characters, loved and strongly present in the collective Japanese. Anime
included. Apart from the aforementioned
Rurouni Kenshin (where among other things, the characters of Aoshi and Sanosuke are based on known key of this body), also fairly recent series are dedicated to the Shinsengumi Peacemaker Kurogane , Shuuro no Toki , Shinsengumi Mobile Force (overflight of pity on the latter "futuristic" ) not to mention that the Shinigami of Bleach ! are also clearly inspired by the Shinsengumi. In terms
Live, were made a boundless amount of television productions of all kinds, but the two most recent works (and also significant, I would say!) Is the feature film Gohatto (Tabu 'in the Italian version) of the famous director Oshima (I have yet to see him 'I'm the film, porc!) and above the recent drama that has produced state television NHK in 2004.
This " Shinsengumi Taiga " ("Taiga" is the term for the epic historical drama), in particular, I read rave reviews and opinions from all sides, and praise and appreciation you have wasted for both the technical realization (apparently this is one of the most expensive production ever in Japan) for the story and the acting of the actors.
Of the latter, who has seen Battle Royale rediscover some of the "students" from Tatsuya Fujiwara (Shuuya) which was the main character in Battle Royale, and here embodies Souji Okita.
The head of the Shinsengumi is instead played by Katori Shingo , the most "baby" of the SMAP ! ^ _ ^
More information about this drama can be found here:

The good news is that finally this drama can be downloading that version with subtitles and the usual handful of fansubber usual Bittorrent! ^ __ ^

All will be SOON fifteen jig, ecchessaramai, a trifle !!!!! :-DDDDDDD

Shower Magnetic Strip



After "only" two months of waiting, the "great will post" has finally given me the honor of receiving the artbook Kim Hyung Tae expecting that much! : D

The name of this Korean illustrator certainly says little, but it's really hard not to have ever come across in some of his artwork by turning on the net! ;-)
The artbook in question is a bit 'small size as compared to classic Japanese artbook, but offset by 174 (!!!) color illustrations and 50 sketches of the many characters he designed for video games Korean Magnacarta, War of Genesis and others.
Personally, I really appreciate the author for this style is not trivial, coloring, and especially the absolute eccentricity and originality you put into creating characters (which are almost all women ... ^__^) even as clothes and accessories.

Bon, since I'm so good, I leave you with a scan of a character if I can not seem to have ever seen around the net! ;-)
