Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 01

post from Sea Slugs! Anime Blog on 15 April 2009 07:51:22 PM. © Sea Slugs! Anime Blog

Having blogged the original FMA, I was really curious to hear that FMA would be undergoing a remake, so I’ve decided to pick up this series and see how it goes. Episode 1 pretty much wets the pallet of viewers as we’re reintroduced back into the FMA world where Fuhrer Bradley (Eye Patch Alchemist) [...]

Higashi no Eden Episode 1 - I Picked Up A Prince

post from Cinnamon Ass on 15 April 2009 05:22:00 PM. © Cinnamon Ass

I don’t think it’s going to surprise anyone if I say that Higashi no Eden is by FAR my favourite show this season - after all, it’s a LOT of people’s favourite. I will try and break down why, however, I think the first episode is so good, beyond the fact that it’s got an interesting plot and all the rest that you no doubt read last week.

I think one of the things that appeals to me the most about the show is how it feels to me that it both rejects and accepts that it’s an anime. It’s a very well thought out anime, obviously, with a great deal of care going into the dialogue, production values, acting, animation etc. but it manages to feel both like it’s closer to a live-action drama (which is unsurprising in the Noitamina timeslot) AND that it knows how to use the tricks that only anime can get away with. Saki gives off manga-like emotional lines when she sighs (one of my favourite moments of this episode) and goes into SD mode quite frequently, but somehow this works within the rest of the show which is almost hyper-realistic in its use of shiny computer trickery.

Aside from that, I could wax lyrical about the character animation, the acting, the mysteries, the whole kaboodle. It’s made me buy an Oasis single for the first time since the 90s (although Falling Down is a great song even without the snazzy graphics manipulation from the OP). There’s little point, however, in going on about it, when I could just tell you to watch it.

Go! Go and watch this show if you haven’t done so already! It’s worth getting excited about! Even though it IS the Bourne Identity with added environmentalism and mild xenophobia!

Sengoku Basara 01

post from Sea Slugs! Anime Blog on 15 April 2009 01:40:04 AM. © Sea Slugs! Anime Blog

Summary:We get a quick montage of various heroes from various warring states, but the initial focus is on the motorcycle-horse gang under Date Masamune; the trio of hotblooded Sanada Yukimura, cool Sarutobi Sasuke, and their master Takeda Shingen; and feminine Bishamonten monk Uesugi Kenshin. Basically, Masamune is planning a surprise attack on Kenshin. [...]
