Must Watch Anime You Have Probably Never Seen: Utawarerumono

I have watched about two-three hundred anime series over the last 10 years, with no particular favorite genre i try to watch everything that looks better than a steamy pile of turd (95% of anime is at least worth a poke). After watching most, if not all of the popular series out there, i had to start digging deeper to find series that were given little publicity and were known by only a small percentage of core anime fans around the world.

With this i have decided to post an anime series you probably overlooked every week or two from this day on wards. Some of them will be quiet mainstream and others retro or completely underground. This week i have decided to share with you a series i watched a couple of years back simply for the reason that i have not forgotten the events that took place in that series (Its Epic).

Utawarerumono

As far as writing reviews goes, i cant. Its something im going to work at but for now all i can do is provide a synopsis say a few good words and bring the series to your attention. Lets get to it.

Plot Summary:

(provided by Anime News Network)

"An injured, amnesiac man with a mysterious mask is found abandoned in the forest. After he is nurtured back to health, he is given the name Hakuoro. After saving the village from a wrathful deity, he adopts the role of the village's leader. Although wishing to live in peace, fate eventually forces him down the path of war and battle..."

Genres: Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery, Romance and Science fiction.

All i can say is that all of the characters in the series are very likable, the main bro (Hakuro) is like some godly war-tactics buff who is surrounded by beautiful women who want him, but soon enough puts them in there place as he makes it clear there nothing more than good friends/ a family(why i left the harem tag out of the genres). When his not being loved by the people or bringing the thunder to his enemy's, he is just a truly awesome character. There is none of this "i don't want to kill" bs, Mercy is shown to those who deserve it and scum is put down by the swift hand of justice.

Any further description from me on this anime would only do it harm. The series is paced well and keeps you interested at all times. There are a few points where i felt that there was a bit of information missing but nothing so drastic that i would potentially ruin the series. Towards the end it was a little bit rushed but the finale of this series is extremely satisfying, punching this Anime high into my recommend list.

Bleach Movie 4: First Fansub Is Simply Terrible.

Bleach Movie 4: Hell Chapter has finally been subbed but after watching the first 15 minuets of the movie i began to question as to whether the subber can fluently speak English or Japanese!!!

Some examples:

Oh, it gets worse...

(just 2 examples, it really is rather bad)

If your the kind of person who watches the raw version to see the action, by all means watch this. But if you actually want to know the story and don't want to constantly be baffled buy subtitles that are jumbled, cut off at mid sentence or just a load of crap, then i would wait for a better copy. (i hope its soon) I for one am going to wait.

If you must watch this movie now there is a link to the video below, if you don't enjoy the first 15 minuets, turn it off and wait for a better version.

I will post again when i have a HQ copy of the movie with subtitles you can understand. Check back later.

Bleach Movie 4 Is Finally Out Today

Finally some good news on the bleach scene, a long awaited spine chilling slaughter fest has finally emerged during yet another ridiculous filler in the series. Yes, anime movies based on a series are usually filler as well but i really don't care this time. Check out the trailer:

As you can see, we get some full hollow Ichigo action, i will enjoy seeing how the creators try to fit this somewhere in the true story line. Not only do we get to see Ichigo fight like the god beast that he is, it seems we also get to see Chad fight again (i cant wait for the devil punch) and the rest of the cast that are normally just swept into a corner as though they do not really matter. Overall i am looking forward to this movie and im sure it will meet my expectations in many ways.

It shouldn't take more than 24 hours to get subbed, i will update this post with a high quality link to the movie as soon as i have it.

Or you can check Bleach Get throughout the day as they seem to get the videos out there the fastest.

First Man To Be Arrested For Uploading Anime...

According to a reliable source, on Tuesday the first case of a man being arrested for unauthorized uploading of anime to a video streaming site has been apprehended. A 46 year old man/ otaku who goes by the name of Kenji Igarashi was take by police from his hometown somewhere in the Nagano Prefecture. The reason behind his arrest was "suspicion of uploading an episode of the latest Gundam anime without permission to the video sharing site Nico Nico Douga".

Gundam F$&K YEAH /sarcasm : (

The dude apparently uploaded the third volume of Mobile Suite UC "The Ghost of Laplace" (whatever that is) sometime in the evening on the 7th of March. Police have stated that this is there first arrest for unauthorized uploading of an anime. The suspect tried to excuse himself by saying "I original downloaded the anime from the internet" (Dumb Ass). Setting his excuse aside, this baka uploaded the anime to the internet just two days after its release in the cinema.

So a word of warning: if its out in the cinema or released on dvd in your country don't upload it. lol. Make sure its unlicensed. Then your cool.

Peace.
