otakunick anime reviews (soukou no strain)

hey guys its me again hear to bring you another review of a anime i just finished thanks to netflix called souko no strain a mecha anime from 2006 and i have to say i liked it its not the best anime ever but its defanetly a good watch

one thing it rely has going for it is the story In the distant future, mankind is divided into two factions: Union and Deague. They have waged a war against each other for so long that no one remembers when it first began. The backbone of the Union military is the manned weapons system Strain, while the Deague uses an unmanned version, the Tumoru.

Sara Werec, the daughter of a respectable family, is a 16-yearold girl who attends Grapera Space Armed Soldier Academy located in the Cranial Solar System, where she is training to become a full-fledged Reasoner (a Strain pilot).

Her brother, Ralph Werec, had been sent to the frontline 130 light-years away to accomplish a special mission when she was 11 years old, a distance that requires 400 years of objective time to traverse by even the fastest Union spacecraft. However, in accordance with the theory of relativity, this corresponds to only two subjective years (time as experienced by those within the spacecraft).

The two of them had lost their parents when they were young and the bond between the two is very close. It is Sara’s dearest wish to be reunited with her brother. To do that, she must travel to the battlefield where he is.

One day, Sara’s planet is suddenly assaulted by Deague forces. To her surprise, her brother, Ralph, turns out to be one of the raiders who successfully kidnap a mysterious girl sleeping in a capsule.

In order to find the truth, Sara gets in a Strain and chases after him yea this anime has alot it rely what to say sadly with only 13 eps we rely never get a good look at the world at larg it rely just focuses on the main cast but because of that we get a rely tight story that works well id just like to learn more about the world the story takes place in is all

the cast is a good one with realistic emotions and reactions to high stress sichuwations involving war and lose of life witch is nice to see as for the desing of the cast well its 2006 when anime was still tiring to figuer out how to make use of computer cell animation so things are a bit choppy but on the other hand the mecha in this look rely good i rely like the strain espasholy the gloire witch has a black selena feel to it and is fast becoming my Favorite non humanode mecha

the soundtrack is your standerd mid 2000 afar meaning you hardly hear it but when you do its a ok score nothing to get all up in arms about but i did like the op

so all in all i say give this show a chans its only 13 eps sum thing you blast thew in a day and you can find it on netflix so untill next time keep watching anime

otakunick retro reviews (mugen no Ryvius )

hey guys its me again with all my free time i have now being a jobless bum i figerd why the hell not ceach up not only on the curent anime iv yet to watch but to go back and watch one iv been meening to see but never did well iv done just that by watching mugen no Ryvius a scifi anime from sunrise and directed by Taniguchi, Goro who was the Original Creator of code geass thow you would not know that just by watching the show in fact the only indastry big shot youl be abel to pin this on just by watching it would be the Character Designer Hirai, Hisashi who is best know for his work on gundam seed but he also did the Character Design for Kurogane no Linebarrels, Soukyuu no Fafner: Dead Aggressor and Scryed all of witch are better shows then gundam seed in my personal opinion

but lets face it the Character Design is not what makes this show worth watching its the story The year is AD 2225. Kouji Aiba and Aoi Housen are serving as astronauts in-training in Liebe Delta which is located on the edge of the Geduld Sea. When saboteurs with unknown intents suddenly strike during a routine dive procedure, the space station plummets into the Geduld, a plasma field that links all the planets like a nervous system and crushes any ship that strays too far into it. With all the adults onboard killed, the young astronauts will have to survive this long journey home in midst of the growing tension amongst each other( and when i say tension i meen it). Meanwhile the organizers of the sabotage look on and prepare to attack once more. its this story and how the dialog flows that going to make you want to keep watching this show how these kids act is the most realistic out of all other shows with similar themes

the sound track is okay not my Favorite but it gets the job dune and the hip hop overtone of it rely helps lighten the mood on sum of the more depressing eps the op would have to be my Favorite score from the sound track it rely fits the show and lets you know just what its all rely about and oddly enough dos not sound haff bad translated ether



now i know iv been singing this shows parse but thare are sum down falls two and one of them would have to be the voice acting for the most part its okay but having a cast that litaraly 99% under the age of 18 makes for sum rely squeaky and annoying voices now i know it fits for the cast but still even i did not sound as nasoly as haff this kids at 16 and i know this is one of thos well anime is not made for the US and i know that but comon i know sum Japanese people and they never sounded like that ether

and the animation can be a bit slopy at times but from a show made in 1999 it looks good not the best but defiantly passably so over all i have to say this is a watch and if you like it a buy witch cunsitering you can get all 26 eps for less then 25$ thats not a bad deal ofcorse for me even thats to much lol well till next time see you guys

otakunick sci-fi reviews (Falling Skies)

Hey guys after not watching freaking anime for a while this week and really only having two things to actually talk about I decided to post this. One being the surprisingly good new TNT sci-fi show Falling Skies and two being the barely good enough Green Lantern movie now then I'm sure you know what I'll be review even without looking at the title of this.

That's right Green Lantern... oh what nope, Falling Skies it is lol

Falling Skies tells the story of the aftermath of an alien invasion. It follows a group of survivors who must band together in order to fight back against the invading aliens. The group, known as the 2nd Mass (for "Massachusetts" now do you see why im choosing to review this), is lead by Boston University history professor Tom Mason who, while in search of his son, must put his extensive knowledge of military history into practice as one of the leaders of the resistance movement.

Now the fact that this series takes place in MA is not the only reason i chose to review it over The Green Lantern it really has a solid story and characters and some nice action. The first two episodes did not have the most action in them due to the fact they where more about introducing us to the world and its players which, it did really well as the 2 hour season premier got 5.9 million viewers making it the #1 premier of the year thus far.

Now i cant actually dive to deeply into this series as its just starting but i can say this from the first two episodes alone i have been hooked its a solid start to what appears to be a solid show.

starting the new anime season off with a dubol header review

thats right guys today i will be doing two first thouts off the first of witch seems to be a reguler harem anime hiding behind a power suit sci-fi anime called infinite stratos or IS for short

the story is as folowed Japan engineered an armed powered exoskeleton "Infinite Stratos" (IS) and it became the mainstream of weapons. Since only women can operate IS, women dominate the society over men. Orimura Ichika is a 15 year old boy and accidentally touches an IS placed in the IS pilot training school. He is found to be the only man who can operate IS and forced to enter the training school. Ichika's busy school life surrounded by girls has begun.

as you can tell from the synopsis alone this anime was going to be a fan servus anime but thar isint mutch in the way of fan servus ether so i take it that leving that for later but thar is sumthing that bothers me big time as a mecha fan why is it that IS can only be piolted by wemon as a fully massed prodused mecha how is it that only femlaes can use them this is sumthing that hased been exsplend one bit its as if they exspect use to just go with it

the art isint that great ether its run of the mill for 2007 and not at all what i was exspecting from 8bt the guys that are makeing the macross F movies in my opinyon the only thing this anime has going for it so fare is that the CG looks good wait i cant even say that from the moment you look at the fight seens to can esaly figer out that thar useing GCI rather then frame by frame GC like in the rest of the show makeing a all to unwhanted contrast

but this is only the first ep il give this anime sum time to grow on me becuse i do have to say i like the 2 leads im holding off on giveing a score till later but untill that i say watch this at your own discration




next up is sumthing for the ladies and that wood be stary sky what can i say im a guy that likes a goos shojo now and then but so fare i cant say this is one of them

the story sets you up for a desint love story

The heroine, Tsukiko, enrolled to a school that was recently changed from all-boys school to co-ed. Since the area where the school is conveniently rural and the rather exclusive curriculums the school has, up until now the heroine is the only one female who enrolled to the school.

In Starry Sky, the 12 constellations of the Zodiac are personified into handsome young men. The anime will be directed by Kiyomo Sayaka who worked with Vampire Knight. Similar to Hetalia - Axis Powers, Starry Sky's anime will be distributed through the Animate.tv website and other means.

but this story dusint deliver due to the eps only being 10 minets and from the first 2 eps jump around so mutch that I dont know what the fucks going on so il let you guys now how it plays out
