ONE PIECE news

There was once an excellent anime.
One day the evil U.S. company, 4kids, bought the distributing license.
Tragically this evil empire of production warped and mutated the show into some offensively awful, desecrating all that was holy to fans of the Grande Line.
The evil offspring was then terminated and would remain so as long as they held the license.
But, one day a hero emerged and won the license away!!!!

Funimation has taken over the U.S. ONE PIECE series. I was so exciting when I began reading the news. Then my excitement diminished a little, but all in all it's better then nothing.
Funimation is going to pick up the series for TV where 4kids left off. BUT, they will be doing it totally different, new voice, less edits, original score.
So it's not so bad BUT........there's still NO smoking, drinking or major blood violence- That PISSED me off, they're fucking pirates!
If your not going to do it RIGHT then DON'T DO IT AT ALL!!!!!!
But then they saved grace a little....The TV series will be better but still have to be edited while the DVD's they'll be releasing will be the Original AND they WILL start from the beginning of the series. yipee!
I know no one else on my friends list cares about this but someone somewhere does

And my laptop is messed up so the luxury of typeing out reviews in the bathtub is nill.

GTO Greatest Teacher Onizuka

Onizuka is a teacher that truly cares, he's also an ex-biker that's a little bit of a simple-minded, pervy drunk. The school principal and every evil student around him are out to drive him crazy. And trust me these kids are good at what they do, they pride themselves in tormenting the teachers. Fortunately for him, his street-smarts and ability to kick some serious ass seem to help make everything work out in his unconventional way. I really liked the opening sequence for the first part of the series, L'Arc en Ciel does the song. Like I said before he's somewhat of a pervy drunk and the students are evil so this show really isn't for kids. Onizuka is sooo
cool, but you could also say he's a big freaking dork, eitherway this anime is WELL worth the watch! It's also packed full of random anime/manga references. I'm on volume 8 and will keep you updated. and if you enjoy it, there's also a live action series, but you'll have to watch it on youtube or something since I doubt it'll ever be licensed for the US.
And as a note Netflix has the series split into set 1 and set 2 so when you've finished with volume 5, don't worry there's more, just look for the 2nd set of volumes.


*I couldn't find that 'perfect' amv that does the anime justice so I'm giving you 2.

Song- Boyz in the hood by Dynamite Hack (yes it's the Boyz In The Hood coversong, so if you don't like cussing don't listen!!)

here's also a Link to another AMV that's a little faster using an Eminem song

Kodocha / Child's Toy / Kodomo no Omocha

Good, Great, Awesome! The show follows the character 'Sana Kurata, age 11, child star'! and her family and friends and job and love life, wait....love life? Sana's REALLY REALLY got a lot of energy but she's such a cool girl it's not annoying in anyway(in my opinion). It's an opptomistic look at life and friendships, but don't let that fluff bore you away, this little 11 year old has to tackle some serious situations all the while trying to keep herself and life in a happy place. The writing for this show is outstanding, it's VERY funny and the humour is Very clever and whitty. I watch it in English (the dialouge is soo much I didn't want to miss anything) and the english dub for Sana is the BEST I have EVER heard, the actress does such a good job at portraying this enigmatic fireball without making her an annoyance. It's good for ALL ages.
It's a Very long series and I'm watching the legal US releases so I'm barely half way through, but as long as they can keep the original voice actors I'm sure this will be a classic hit.


The following is an AMV thar really shows the energy of the show (and Sana), but once again don't be fooled and think that that's all it is, the show DOES give you a chance to breath.
**AMV by Idolsmasher, Song- The William Tell Overture

Desert Punk

Desert punk is an anime unlike i have seen before, in that it is hard to place the target audience. I personally liked the series very much, The characters have deep personalities, parts will make you laugh, parts will make you cry. The English dub is well done and a little better at portraying the characters personalities, but watching it subbed is just as good. Kanta the main character, is a handyman / bounty hunter of the great kanto desert, a Post apocalyptic world built on the ruins of the modern world which was destroyed by mankind's will for power. Kanta also known as sunobozu, the desert punk, has an ego to match his infamous name. Follow him in his never ending quest for money and big tits as he fights to survive the harshness of the desert.

Here's an AMV from Aerix, the original author is Dash_legato
The song's 'Stop the World' by The Riddlin Kids.

Samurai X Reflections

This movie brings the Kenshin series to a nice close and we watch their lives get older. Watch it last or near the end of the Rurouni series. I really can't say much about it without spoiling anything. Just any fan should see this. And it's fine to watch it as a stand alone movie if your not familar with the series. It's cool to see Kenshin, and Kaoru and Sanosuke in the same kind of animation that the Truth&Betrayal were done in.
