otakunicks thoughts on Mouretsu Pirates

So yea its the begging of the 2012 anime season and what better way to kick things off then with pirates and not just any Pirates cute cute girl space Pirates. Thats right Im hear to let you guys know what i think of Mouretsu Pirates so how about we get right into it because I acholy have a bit to say on this anime

first of like alwas the story The story centers around a spirited high school girl named Marika. She keeps herself busy with the space yacht club and her part-time job at a high-class retro café. One day, two people suddenly appear and claim to be subordinates of her dead father. They demand that she assume command of the space pirate ship Benten Maru. A privateer ship's compact was made during a war of independence a century ago, and according to that compact, the ship must be inherited by the captain's next direct descendant. Marika finds herself embarking on a new life as a space pirate. So yea what can I say who wouldint want to be in this girls shoes I know I would I mean camon being the caption of a band of space Pirates would be so much fun.

and speaking of fun it sounds like the VAs where having a blast doing this anime all the voices sound like each VA relay got into the roles they played witch resorts in a rely well recorded EP I hope they keep up the good work because if they do keep it up this show may just be the best voiced anime of this new year

but sadly whar thar is a good point thar is bound to be a bad on and this shows down fall is its art witch is rely pretty plain infact I can point out 2 or 3 charters from the first EP alone that look like they were swiped from other anime and the CG for the ships look like they were pulled from the erly 2000s but even with that sed it still looks good its the type of anime that even with sum bad art chooses still pulls together quite nicely espesholy when it come to detail in the backgrounds witch look great just so long as they dont go CG


so as of right now this show has one thing going for it and one thing agenst it (kinda) so whats the music like well all I can say is its great fits perfectly with the show and at the same time sounds good by its self I have been lisaing to the OP on a loop as I wright this review I mite even get the OST when it comes out


so with a goos story good voice work pasabel art and great music I have to recamend Mouretsu Pirates to anyone reading this blog but we all now just how fast a anime can go from great to oh my god why and with this anime having 26 EP it rely can get bad so come back when I do a mid series review in 11 weeks

charg the yamato canon

Earlier today, it was reported that Syfy would begin airing Star Blazers. Two episodes of the show are scheduled to air on April 21, in the 12:00AM – 1:00AM time slot i am rely quite happy about this i never rely got around to watching space battle ship yamato so this is as good as time as any to start 

The network is no stranger to Leiji Matsumoto‘s work. When they began airing anime in the early ’90s, Sci-Fi ran Matsumoto’s Galaxy Express 999. At the same time, Star Blazers is one of Matsumoto’s greatest works. The series was an influential work that skyrocketed the creator’s career. The universe of Harlock, Maetel, and Juzo Okita had come to be through a sweeping tale of military intrigue, adventure, and drama. When the series aired on American airwaves, many members of the mainstream saw that animation could be far more than singing forest animals, and rabbits performing slapstick.

On the flip side, Star Blazers is an old title. The series hit American TV in 1979, or 32 years ago. It’s an unfortunate reality that, no matter how good a show is, many younger anime fans have zero interest in anything older than 2000. It’s hard to fault anybody in this case. The show’s character designs and animation definitely show their age, in comparison to titles from today, and even the Golden Age period. On top of that, Star Blazers is hardly an uncut product. Due to broadcast restrictions of the day, the show was toned down to air on television. Character names were changed, violence was toned down, and references to things like World War II and sexual content were altered. Nowadays, we are used to having anime air on TV (mostly) untouched. And, frankly, there’s little desire to go back to the olden days, with good reason

but i know all this would be happing when syfy sed thy would be airing star blazers instead of saying thy would be airing yamato but still its nice to see a classic get sum well deserved respect.

Sora Kake Girl getting a US release by bandai entertainment as well as new trailer for k-on end dub

now i myself have not seen this anime one of my co hosts has told me on numerous times to watch it tho so i will take his word for it and tell you guys you shud watch this too

The story is set in the year 311 of the Orbital Calendar, when humanity has migrated to countless colony clusters in space. A space colony girl named Akiha Shishidou encounters a malevolent artificial intelligence named Leopard that has been installed on a colony.

Akiha is joined by an Inter-Colony Police officer named Itsuki Kannagi, a taciturn young girl named Honoka Kawai, and a robot named Imoko "Imo-chan" Shishidou.

now bandai is bring this anime out in 2011 under the name the girl who leapt thew space this may case people to ask is this a anime sequel to the movie the girl who leapt thew time no it is not and i think it was a bad idea to go with the littoral translation on this animes name sora kake girl would have worked just fine but what ever its there chose

now Thar was sum thing els bandie is doing and lets just say i like the show but the ENG dub kinda makes not want to buy the DVD(tho i will be buying them) and that is k-on yes this is sum what old news that bandai would be bring k-on over hear to the US but for me this was the first time hearing the ENG dub and i have to say aside from mio's im not that big on the dub i mean its not bad but they rely fucked up with yui's and ritsu's voices
