The Beginning and the End


here is a pic of my constanly growing anime collection that i recently re-organized

Hello,

It looks like ive managed to find a way to make 2 posts in a row lol. It must be the end of the world LOL! I woke up at exactly midnight last night and ive been up since then (its 8:00 am now) and during that course of time I managed to watch 2 more episodes of Record of Lodoss War: chronicles of the Heroic Knight, as well as the first episode of Samurai 7. I also found time to complete a full year in season mode on the Xbox game "WWE Raw 2" and i played a couple games on my Gamecube - the Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and WWE Day of Reckoning. It was fun to switch around and mess with a few different games for a little while, ill have to admit that i was totally lost while playing Majora's Mask so i dont think ill get back into it once ive read up about it a little more lol. As for Samurai 7, I had the pleasure of watching the live action movie from which the anime series is based from and im glad to say that i noticed alot of similarities. The original film was made in the 50's and to be honest, it is alot better than most recent japanese films that i have seen - even though it was in black and white with subtitles, its about 3 hours long as well and anyone who loves samurai movies has to see it, its one of the best, if not the absolute best :) As for the anime series, the original tale from the movie has been modernized for todays audience, with robots and technology, yet alot of the names and scenarios stay the same which i though was pretty cool. It has alot of CG which i am personally picky about, probably because im an old timer when it comes to anime LOL. I try to look past my pickiness when it comes to that kind of stuff though and ill have to watch a couple more episodes to see what my eventual take on the series in a whole is, so ill try to keep you all updated as i go :)

On another note, when i posted the other day, I had noticed that i had forgotten to post about my experience of watching the first 3 volumes of the anime "Trinity Blood". I must say that i really enjoyed the music , as well as some of the characters and i couldnt help but notice that the main male character (Father Nightroad) (sp)? reminded me alot of Vash the Stampede from Trigun, and the episode that centered around him and sister Noelle has so far been my favorite. If you ask me, the series kinda makes me feel like it is a blend of Trigun and Hellsing, which isnt bad at all. i bought the first 3 volumes without knowing anything about the series and id say that after watching them im overall pleased and im looking forward to seeing how the series plays out. It's one of the few newer anime series that ive kinda grown on and id happily reccomend it to anyone thats for sure :)

As for today, im mostly just cleaning around the house and doing laundry since i have to go to work tonight. I may play a ps1 game i have called "Dragon Valor" and ill probably try to make time to watch some more anime dvds i havent been able to get to yet. i have a list of anime dvds and videogames that ill probably post on here in the next few days to get everyones opinion of what i should watch or play next lol, so im certainly hoping for some feedback, and also - if you get a chance feel free to check out my fan art and let me know what you think. I was checking it out earlier and it had been a good while since id had looked at my own work and it would be cool to hear what others though about it :) Well, i think that will just about do it for today, I thank you all for visiting and im looking forward to posting more about my day to day adventures soon

stay strong,

Jason
