OtakuNick revirews: Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor

Hey guys like I sed I hadf a review in the works for you so hear it is Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor was a anime that came out in 2004 almost 9 years. It was produced by  Xebec the same company that brought us Nadesico.But dont let that fool you this anime is anything but the fun wacky antic's that we saw in nadesico this show is 100% mecha drama. so without any ferther to do hears the brack down.

The storty starts on Tatsumiyajima witch is the central island in the middle of a small cluster of islands, in a sleepy backwater of the Japanese isles. Not much happens there, and the island's young people go to school knowing that their lives are likely to remain peaceful and undisturbed. Or so they have been taught... but the truth is different. The fate of mankind is on the line, and Tatsumiyajima is the last line of defense against a hostile and incomprehensible enemy. At the center of it all, fighting for Humanity's continued existence, is the giant robot Fafner, the dragon that guards this final treasure of mankind. Okay with a synopsis like that your probly thinking whats the big deal its just like so many other mecha anime. well dont let this little paragraph miss leed you thare is way more to the story then this synopsis is letting on. as for what that is well you will just need to watch to find out.


Next on my list is the art and animation so first thing first I whant to get one thing out of the way yes this animes Character Designer is non other then Hirai, Hisashi thr same man that did the Character Design for Gundam Seed. but befor all you seed heaters click off this page he also did the Character Design for Kurogane no Linebarrels, Mugen no Ryvius, and Scryed all of witch I cunsiter must watcxh anime. so just because the art reminds one of one anime you dont like dosint meen you shouldint give it a shot. Becasue in this case going with Hirai for this anime was probly the best chose. thare are serten thing he dos best and oldly enuph that is facial expressions shore all his faces in the shows he dos look simaler but that is to make it easyer for them to convay serten  expressions. so what Im saying is just give the art a chance you may just like it.

But if you whant sumthing to rely lach onto it is the music this show is home to one of my all time favret OST and we have a Mr Saito, Tsuneyoshi to thank for it sum of you older fans may remember his name as he also did the OST for 2 of the Tenchi Muyo! movies namly Tenchi Muyo! Manatsu no Eve and Tenchi Muyo! in Love 2: Haruka Naru Omoi witch out of all the tenchi muyo anima have the best music.  Saito, Tsuneyoshi and his teem whent all the way to Europe to record using a real orchestra and let me just say this music will probly hit you harder then any visual seen in this show.


Now with all this good thare is sum bad atlest when it come to the ENG dub. you see I have yet to watch this show in Japaneses so all I have to go on with my revew is the ENG dub and it is standered afare for its time the anime came out hear in the US around 2006 If I am remembering corectly and lets face it the state of most dug wheret varry good then. So all i can say is if you plane on getting this anime you may whant to try out the Japanese dug first

I know I normaly close thing out right about hear but befor that i have one more thing I need to talk about and that is the Blu-ray Up scalling of this anime. You see the reson I am even reviwing this anime at this point and time is because I resently got the DVD/blu-ray combo pack of the anime and let me just say this is what a Up scall should look like. Unlike Gundam seeds upscall that just look lazy and slopy this one acholy looks clean just like it did when it first aird witch is the point. So all in all I say this blu-ray relese is worth the money and would make a fine addtion to anime mecha anime fans collection.

First Thoughts on Deadman wonderland

hey guys got another first thought for you this time il be talking about deadman wonderland now if this sounds fermiluer to you  thats because DMWL is the adaption of a manga by Kondou, Kazuma passably best known for the elreka seven manga now the DMWL manga started in 2007 and is still ruining today and its no wonder why this is a good story

Ten years have passed since the Great Tokyo Earthquake, and the people's memories of the disaster have faded. Ganta Igarashi, a middle school evacuee, has finally begun to live a normal life...That is, until the day "Red Man" appears at his school and Ganta's fate is changed forever. His entire class is brutally murdered, and although innocent of the crime, Ganta is sentenced to death and sent to the bizarre prison known as "Deadman Wonderland." An insane and brutal game of prison survival begins!


now with a story like this you know your in for a good show and the DMWL anime is good tho after watching two eps a few things have been changed witch tho will not mess anything up rely hurts the story for sum one who has read the manga but other then that nothing big has been changed and the story tho cadenced a bit to fit into the restrictions of a anime flows pretty well


the animation flows nicely(no surpriser there with this being a newer anime) and the colors tho thare are quite a bit mix well and are muted enough that DMWL looks bolth like a amusement park and a prison (as it shud being bolth)


the VA work is also good even with only a bit of the main cast around at  the moment all of them have fitting voices especially shiro i cant Imagen a bater voice for her hopefully this trend will last and all the cast gets fitting voices 


now the music is where the anime rely shines defiantly taking the minimalistic aproch but when it kicks is boy dos it kick and the OP is a perfect exsampol its called "One Reason" and its by Fade a nice hard rock song with lirics that fit the show so well i am pretty shore they wrote the song for the anime and if they did not its the best sync up since wizard of OZ and dark side of the moon





now with all this sed i rely think that this anime is well worth the watch yea it take sum shit out but that happens so much you cant rely blame the people making the anime for doing it anymore and this show rely takes the story and adds to it by giving it voices and movement so i say go and watch this if you can  

back like them!!!!!!

lol I know the title was bad but I think its fitting for the first first thouts of the new summer season after retering from my short vacation and I thout why not start things off with a anime adaptation of a manga I resently reviewd HSOTD(high school of the dead)


since this anime is shaping out to be a carben coppy of the manga I relly do think I ned to go into the story but for thows that havent read that review hear you go

A mysterious, lethal disease is on the loose worldwide, resulting in a catastrophic death rate of humanity, and the increasing rise of attacks, caused by the living dead.

In Japan, several high school students and a school nurse have banded together to escape Fujimi High School shortly after it was attacked by zombies. The group now attempts to figure who or what was responsible for this plague, and in the meantime, attempt to survive the present apocalypse.

The story is initially narrated through the eyes of Takashi Komuro, one of the students who had survived in the initial outbreak.

alot of people on anime forums like 4chans /a/ like to call this story ganaric but its relly not Im a avid horror movie fan and zombie movies are among my favret of the ganra Iv watched almost all of them and this is a freash new take on a zombie story first off thare all just kids with one adult second each cariter has a skill that helps keep them togeather (Il get into that in a latter review) and therd thare all bat shit crazy (well mabby not that bad) but from reading the manga its obveus this kids wer born for for the harsh world they have been thown into

now that the storys out of the way Id like to take a moment to talk about the art it seems to bee falawing closly to the manga witch is sumthing Im relly happy about becuse I love the mangas art


the music is good to the BGMs fit with the mood and the OP and endings are great they relly fit the over all mood of fear anger and despar the cast all feel and transmits it right to you I persanaly will be geting this for my persanol colection




as it stands I whant to give this anime a 10 right now but I have to give it a 9 for one reson and that wood be out of fear from the ending for thous that dont know this animes manga hasint ended and it look like it bee going on for a long time meening this anime will be ending difrently from the manga witch scars me alil I worred they ill completly fuck up with the ending so for now this anime gets 9 flesh eaters out of 10

now thet you have an idea about the basics of the story I need to tell you that its not the fanservus or the action that makes the story great its the cast each person has thare own good and bad ponts to them heal the leader of the group cudint even frie a shot gun corecly at the beging but its becuse of that that you relly start to care for the cast hell you even start caring for sum people thats only been in the manga for 2 chapters and this is the reson I gave high school of the dead 10 coragus police girls out of 10 and be shore to come back for my thouts of the u pcomeing high school of the dead anime this july
