    Howl's Moving Castle

    Is it as nice as Kiki's delivery service? Well... I once watched Kiki's delivery service (I forgot the full Japanese title), it was quite a nice movie, though might be a little bit too long, it's thankful though we don't have to wait for the cooking scene in real time. The same goes for...

    is Dragon Ball Z Japanese or Chinese anime?

    A Japanese story based on a Chinese story. Yes, many of the names in Dragon Ball were named after food, underwears, and many other kind of stuff. The theme of the naming in Bulma's family's is underwears, Bulma's children were named Trunks and Bra. The theme of the naming of Saiyan people...

    Batman Begins !! ~

    Val Kilmer is quite good playing Bruce Wayne the playboy wonder. You know, spending cash without a care in the world, chasing skirts, that sort of thing. Val Kilmer is quite good at playing Bruce Wayne like that. The scenes between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson are also quite nice, n older...

    Samurai X or Rurouni Kenshin

    Which "Samurai X"? Actually, I think that there's a Japanese O.V.A. series of Rurouni Kenshin that was named "Samurai X". From what I heard, it took place when Kenshin participated in the Meiji's Restoration and it's quite violent. As for the T.V. series. Well... The originial T.V...

    Is Japan Overpopulated?

    As always, the trick is balance. Big cities are always somehow aren't unbalances in the term of population and area. To get the feeling of overpopulation, one can always get that by visiting a big city. From looking at some of the Japanese rural areas, I don't think that Japan is...

    FF7 AC

    Not looking forward to Advent Children. Frankly, I don't think that they should do any story that is directly after a few years after the game ended. With all of those stuff in the far future (500 years into the future) where things are quite nice and happy, the stuff about people rebuilding...

    Star Wars Revenge of the SITH

    Sabbath day. The reason George Lucas probably won't be involved at any seventh episode Star Wars and so on is because he rest at the seventh day, hey, he's adhering to the sabbatical law remember? Anyway. If there's any extra Star Wars movie post Episode VI, it probably would be based on one...

    Romantic relations with cousins?

    Depends... Well... Romantic relationship with cousins can be considered as either both moral or immoral, depending on the person. Moral and immoral stuff are there for a reason, usually due because to prevent people for making mistake. Anyway to some people, cousins from the mother line...

    Kingdom of heaven !!!

    TenGoku 窶弖ツ坂?麓/b] Another historical revisionist and propagandic material? I get the feeling that the whole movie might be like "The Passion of Christ". This movie might make everyone fight each other instead of making them get along with each other. It's much better if they done a...

    metropolis... anyone here seen it?

    Too Akira-ish. Too Akira-ish. The whole movie seems somehow a remake of Fritz Lang's Metropolis, with some of the Tezuka character designs (Maria, Kenichi, Higeoyaji, Rock, and so on) guest starred in it, plus some looks and feels of recent Sci-Fi stories. They should have just stick with...

    Why not a Japanese Pope?

    No mention of the potential of a Japanese Pope. Easy, who controls the mass media? How about this to think, they talked about who is John Paul II, Benedict XVI, and even Benedict XV, but do they made a big deal over John Paul I and why there's a John Paul II? As for the decision on...

    Rahxephon. Help me

    Shin TenKuu SenShi RahXephon Imagine a cross between Shin SeiKi Evangelion, TenKuu no Escaflown, and yes, KiDou SenShi Gundam a bit. The strangest thing is that, the whole thing felt like a silent movie. Don't know why, I feel as if that it doesn't matter on whether or not the volume on...

    After Life

    But... ...isn't life is more like an online multiplayer game? Where if you die and didn't finish your goal, you got respawn (a.k.a. reincarnated), loose a few experience points and so on, start again with the cycle keep continuing until you complete your goal and move on to the next level...

    Strongest Console

    Yes, the Gamecube is quite portable. The next X-Box would got the most power in the next few weeks, after all, its main C.P.U. got the word "Power" in it. ;) As for the most practical, portable, and probably the most physical resistant one. Yes, the Gamecube is all go.

    Girl x Girl

    Close relationships, yes. Sexual ones? Nah... Tomoyo has the same kind affection that her mother had on Sakura's mother. It could be a Lesbian thing or just plain adoration or both. I never do know if Tomoyo ever had a father or not. But my father seems to told me that most women seems to...

    Yakuza in Manga...

    Gokusen, the Yakuza trying to be a teacher. Deals a bit with the Yakuza? Wasn't this the story with the grand daughter of a Yakuza leader trying to be a teacher of a high school (or was it a junior high school)? Because she wasn't quite please on how a school teacher treated her adopted...

    Japan space plans may include manned moon base

    You can devise plans... ...but doing them is another matter. The problem with any manned mission to the Moon is that, are the people planning for the mission allowed to do it or not? We have seen both the U.S.A. and the U.S.S.R. banned from doing any manned mission to the Moon. And...

    Japan Announces Manned Moon Flight by 2025

    Pixar Films Better Then Any Anime ??

    Technically, any animation by Pixar is an anime. Just incase one forgot, "anime" (A-Ni-Me) is the Japanese slang for the Japanese word "animeeshion" (A-Ni-Mee-Shi-yo-N) which is of course means "animation". And yes, Pixar stuff are quite good. Frankly, I take Toy Story over The Spirit...

    Howl's moving castle in US

    Be thankful it's just redubbed and not reformatted. Well... If it isn't dubbed then it would be released as a 'foreign' film in a limited distribution, if it's dubbed then it can be released nation-wide. Remember that people are more voice oriented rather than text oriented. Just thankful...
