Hello, and welcome to Yamcha's Anime universe! Some of you may know me from visiting my Myotaku page (username: Yamchaa), but if you havent visited or dont know me, then thats cool too lol. Im a big anime fan and ive been one for as long as i can remember. I collect anime movies, magazines, figures, all things related to anime, and im proud to say that i have a pretty hefty and diverse anime collecion which is usually constantly growing, and with this new world i hope to make new friends and spread my knowledge of anime to whoever may need it ^_^
Its been a while since i last posted, and since i recently ordered some more anime a few days ago, I figured i would post and show you all what i was able to order :)
First of all, the method i used to find some of these anime series was pretty weird - Last thursday i woke up and i was bored so i got the idea to just go through the previews on my anime vhs tapes and dvds. The idea behind the whole process was that if i saw a preview for an anime that i thought was interesting, then i would order it, even if i knew nothing about the show at all. I figured that would make it alot more interesting when i finally received it in the mail to watch.
I searched through alot of my tapes and dvds before i settled on a few shows, and while i was chatting with Xaos online, i was looking for an old police anime that i had seen a preview of years ago. After a while of searching, i was finally able to find the name of the anime and so i went on my way to Amazon.com to order everything.
Here is a list of everything i ordered -
Mad Bull 34: entire series (VHS) Megazone 23: complete box set(dvd) Patlabor: The movie(VHS) Patlabor 2(VHS)
I made it a point to order most of the anime on vhs, because for some strange reason i am a big fan of anime on vhs, i guess because it makes the whole experince seem more old school lol.
So far i have received the Mad Bull 34 tapes in the mail, and i am expecting to get the Patlabor movie and Megazone 23 in the mail tommorrow. Patlabor 2 should arrive on the 25th, so i have some stuff to look forward to for the next few days :)
As for the anime, i also thought that i would put up a short summary of the Mad Bull 34 anime, since ive really been enjoying it. - It's an anime about a rookie New York police officer named Daizaburo and his veteran partner John Estes (also known as Mad Bull). Daizaburo expects to do his job as a police officer by the book, but he soon finds out that the 34th precinct is the toughest precinct in new York, and that his partner uses his own form of justice to lay down the law. The anime is very adult in nature, alot of language, violence, blood and suggestive themes. Here is a trailer of the series -
I'll be sure to post up info on the other anime as soon as i get them and watch them :)
As for today, i plan on watching some anime and possibly making some wallpapers. I havent made any in a while and since ive got some new anime dvds over the last few months, ive had the urge to make some wallpapers for a while now.
Well i suppose that will be all for now, i may post again later today about some more stuff if i'm not too lazy :)
Ive been meaning to post a lot sooner than today, but the days pass pretty quick i suppose lol, so it has been a while since i last posted on this world.
Lately i havent been doing much, besides sleeping alot and playing videogames. Ive caught up on some anime and ive also bought some new movies to help pass the time.
Ive been pulling out some of my older videogame systems more frequently the past couple of weeks and playing some of my older games lol. The First old game i played recently was called WCW Vs. The World. It was one of, if not the first wrestling videogame realeased for the original Playstation Console. Many years ago i bought the game from a friend's cousin for 10$ and i felt that i had the greatest videogame ever lol. Me and my friend and his brother & cousin would play that game all day and night when i stayed over at his house on the weekends during the school year lol.
It is an obsolete game now, but back then it was the premiere wrestling game to have because it had so many wrestlers to choose from, plus great gameplay and awesome visuals (at the time). It's a relic of the past now, but i still play it from time to time to relive those nostalgic moments of bitter feuds and top of the line competition from back in the day :) Here is a video of the game i found on Youtube :)
WCW VS. The World for Playstation - I just loved the background music for this game! :)
I also managed to make time to play my copy of Gundam Battle Assault 2 for the original Playstation system as well. Back when the newest system was the original Playstation, I would play this game day in and day out lol. I would usually go back and forth from this game to WCW Vs. The World, and mix some other games in between lol. This game was the first anime related game that i was ever able to buy, and i still have it to this day. I mostly used the Gundam Maxter (G-Gundam), Nu Gundam (Char's Counterattack), and whichever Tallgeese version that was on that game lol. I tried playing it a few days ago and i couldnt remember any of the controls lol, ill have to play it again and look up the moves online sometime, thats for sure lol. Here is a video of the game that i found on youtube :)
Gundam Battle Assault 2
Ill certainly have to post more videogame stuff up really soon thats for sure :)
Moving on to the anime ive watched, Ive mostly been watching the anime movie/series that i recently bought called Heroic Legend of Arslan Im so glad that i found it at a Pawn shop a couple of weeks ago because ive really grown to enjoy it. It is alot like the older Final Fantasy storylines, with Record of Lodoss War all rolled into one. So far it is an awesome anime series and it continues to get better. Ill be sure to keep you all updated on it, but for now - here is a video of the first episode i found on youtube. The dvd set i have is becoming one of my favorite anime sets that i own :)
Heroic Legend of Arslan
The other movies that ive bought over the past couple of weeks are
Hamburger Hill
Apocalypse Now : REDUX
The Blues Brothers
The Gene Generation
I havent watched The Gene Generation yet, but the cover on the dvd case looked interesting, so hopefully it isnt a waste lol. Im just glad today is Friday, because after tonight ill be off work for the weekend, which is always good lol. Plus ill probably do some major cleaning and organizing to my room, so hopefully i can get all of that done too.
Last night while i was on lunch at work, I used my Xbox360 to watch the first episode of Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory.
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 episode 1
No matter how many times i watch this dvd, i just lose myself in it. Watching it on a 46 inch Flat screen tv at work was truly an experience, and it showed me that no matter how old i get, or how much anime i own - Some things never get old or fade out. Watching that dvd renewed my quest to eventually buy the entire series that has always eluded my anime collection. Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 is perfect - there isnt anymore i can say lol.
On a sad note, it really sucked to hear that ADV has gone out of business. Most of the anime i own was distributed by them - especially some rare stuff. Im thinking of getting some of my ADV related products and posting them up here on this world as a tribute to their contribution to the world of anime. Ill see if i can pay homage to some other anime companies that have fallen along the way as well, so be sure to check back :)
Well, i suppose that will be all for today's post, it looks like ive rambled quite a bit, thats for sure lol. Its good to post again and let you guys know what ive been up to - hopefully you all havent forgotten about me lol.
thanks for visiting and i sure hope to chat with you all soon :)
