Review By CreedofDeath and Childofhate Ok, firstly, a little heads up. This isn't a solo review. Me and CreedOfDeath collaborated on this one. Most of the critical comments are by me, while he does the fan/fanboi commentary. So, if you think that this article/review is bad in anyway, feel free to kill him! :evil: Now that, that's outta the way, lets begin. Code Geass is a SunRise Production and its a wholly original anime with no manga background and features one of the most charismatic and vengeful characters in anime history, aka Lelouch Vie Britannia. Any discussion about Code Geass usually involves pitting Zero aka Lelouch against Yagami Light, consequently leading to flame wars on many anime forums. But, here I wont compare them, though I'll definitely differentiate between them. Light in Death Note was shown to be a character who wasted (pun unintended) anyone, including his own family for the sake of a better world, but Lelouch on the other hand wastes the whole worl...

Well It's that time of the year again when you have to start acting gay.The Examinations!Not that I really expect it to be bigger,better or worse than before.It's just that the thing is annoying like hell and when you are at the Crossroads of your life,you tend to act more uneasy and vulnerable to the all the pressure that mounts up on you during the couple of weeks of exams.Usually least bothered about stuff like exams,I'v been pushed to take this seriously because of the fact that my career is at stake and FUCK!!.I need to graduate for peace's sake!!On a flipsyde I should be visiting Bombay in a few days time from now..:P 2010 is coming and let's hope this year is not as lame as last! AMEN!

So I started off the fall of 09,with the plan of watching 12 different anime...yeah 12!!I don't know what came over me but,all of I sudden I said to myelf "I should watch atleast a dozen this season".And my decision coming under the height of passive retardness cost me!!...Things were ok during the first month or so,then it kinda became difficult and I started lagging behind...I am still lagging behind and FUCK! and I don't know when I will complete it!..Lesson,"Never watch too much anime ,it's for your own good!!

A decent j-rock band I came across recently.I must first mention that my exposure to j-rock is limited and the ones I have listened to earlier are mostly anime OST's.Luna sea changes all that.Listening to a band from the 90's isn't what I had really expected,but I am a sucker for the sound luna sea produced especially the song 'gravity',which had that progressive rock feeling(which I am more of a sucker for)(Btw their songs are mostly post grunge except for gravity) here' the MV to Gravity btw...

Looks I've been bowled over by Vocaloid....yep that's as it says,Hatsune miku the most popular vocaloid character has taken into my imagination and I am quite as well getting obsessed with her. If you're wondering what crap I am taking then you should better check this article first.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocaloid Random Vid....

Belated Happy Diwali to everyone......I am too lazy to blog these days,in case you were wondering why I don't blog shit anymore.And if you were visiting the site everyday then you are even dumber than dumb itself....Enjoy the New year,Bang some chicks,get wasted,but don't waste your time here..:p

Most people try to search desperately to find a decent site to download Anime Themes.But,yeah it's very tough to find them.Even Deviantart lacks this completely.I too searched the internet frantically for some good Themes,but I failed to do.Most sites stocked old Win 98 themes which totally have a lackluster look.Fortunately enough I found a site which had a decent stock of anime themes. Sola 1412 blog ,contains some really good XP themes.Which I say would be too hard to find anywhere else. Give it a visit^^ http://modvisc.blogspot.com/

I heard this on the recommendation of my friend Dpsychc.FMA brotherhood fans should have probably heard her songs by now(it's the 2nd ending theme).I too initially heard her song in FMA.Of course I liked but, I wasn't very motivated to listen to more of her tracks.Then I came across her latest single album release.And honestly speaking it has to be one of the best j-music single album I have heard this year.Miho Fukuhara proved that she not only is very versatile singer,but she also was able to prove herself as a great entertainer.Her songs has deep sense of rhythm and style which is not seen too much these.She has also proved that the japanese music industry still has some talent left. I usually don't put up download links ,but I guess this should be a clear exception; http://www.ihoneyjoo.com/singles/miho-fukuhara-hanabi-sky-single-album/ Here's the title track of her single album,

According to ANN ,Do As Infinity will compose the opening theme for Inuyasha:The final act.That's great news,since I just love their songs and on top of that DAI has previously composed songs for Inuyasha(2 ending themes for the anime and the ending theme for the fourth movie).It should be noted that this is DAI's first single in nearly 4 years.The band broke up in 05 and reunited last year. Here's a my tribute to DAI!! Inuyasha Ending Theme 5 - Shinjitsu no Uta

(Note: I reviewed the series as a whole..i.e the 2 seasons of the series and the movie that followed it ) Hana Yori Dango was my first attempt at watching a j-drama.And after watching many more,I'd say that Hana Yori Dango remains my favorite j-drama till date.The drama provides a nice balance of comedy ,sadness,love,hate, jealousy and other dramatic elements.The drama is based on a very popular manga of the same name.The story involves girl from a not so rich family(actually quite poor) who is studying in an Elite school for the rich.Besides that the school is apparently run by a group of 4 boys(who are quite handsome!) called F4 who reign total dominance over the school as their parents donated vast amounts of money to the school.Our Heroine,Makino Tsukushi(played by Mao Inoue ) has a run in with the group and gets into trouble especially with the head of the group Domyouji Tsukasa(Played by Jun Matsumoto ) From there on the story mainly focusses on Makino's relations with ...

5 centimeters per second-A Chain of short stories about thier distance, isn't just any other anime movie.It IS one of the BEST Anime movies out there.5 centimeters per second is a masterpiece of a work by director Makato Shinkai who is well known for his earlier works(She & her cat,Voices of a distant star,The place promised in our Early days).The movie is seen a crucial departure from his earlier works in which futuristic themes provided the background settings of his movies.5 centimeters per second ignores all that and focuses on a realistic theme and setting.The name of the movie 5 centimeters per second i.e why the movie is named such is revealed in the first scene of the movie in which Akari one of the lead characters quotes that "5 centimeters per second is the speed at which cherry blossoms fall".The main story of the movie deals with the lead characters Akari Shinohara (篠原明里),& Takaki Tohno (遠野貴樹)who are in love with each other and how they struggle to mai...

Tommy Heavenly6 is known for her crazy PV's in j-music community,but I have to say Blackpapermoon is probably the craziest I have seen.The music is good and is worth listening to,It retains the same sound with Tommy Heavenly6 is known for..(The Alternative+Punk combination is quite good btw!) .But the main thing is the PV.The PV makes a great parody of the well known classical movie 'The wizard of Oz',with Tommy Heavenly6's madness added to it..I had an enjoyable time listening and watching the video..Hope everyone else likes it too!! ( This PV is actually a bit old,it came out on December 08.I heard the song first in Soul Eater,but I did not manage enough time to put my comments on this music..plus I did not even have a blog back then!! ) (Tommy Hevenly6 never looked sooo...umm seductive??) Btw here's the pv!!

Hi!!everyone....It's me the creator of this blog.I know I am quite poor of a blogger and quite inconsistent with my posting(I am a newbie and have a rather busy schedule during the week). Let's skip that for now!!I started blogging last month and I haven't introduced myself.Sorry about that,I know the fact that I am quite an airhead(and sometimes people around me tend to get the feeling that I suffer from a mild form of Alzhiemer's,which is actually quite not the case..honestly!!) I think I have bored everyone enough....Anyway let's get started.... I am Anhishek Dasgupta,20 years ,currently residing in kolkata,India.I go by the name of Stupidsama on the internet.I have more or less always had this obsession with japanese culture...I have been more or less into it since 2003.Anyway being a college student is tough(tougher if you aren't academically bright!!),I really have a problem managing my schedule so I don't get much time to come online.Anyway here'...

(Go for it Kyon!!) As I had said before Haruhi S2 entered an almost infinite loop of repeat episodes called The endless eight arc.The story was in the arc since episode 2....and after 8 painful episodes,the story arc finally ended with episode 9.Honestly speaking I didn't expect it to end so soon,but it was kinda fun though....even though we already knew how exactly the arc was going to end!! After 2 months of endless eight we can finally now look forward The disappearance of Haruhi suzumiya arc...Let's hope the next arc is good(BTW there's only 4 more episodes to go)

(The guy is confused!!) Episode 4 deals with the gang's trip to the beach!!..well to stare at the stars of course(at night!).The episode retains the comedic elements of the series with with enough funny moments to keep you entertained in the way.And of course our club members have a run in again with the literary club members(funny scenes there!).Besides all the fun thing that happens in the episode,we notice that Saku seems to be having mixed feelings towards mihoshi,which is shown for the first time in the series.(noo..hime-chan)!Though I guess it's still to early to guess where their relationship might head.... Hime-chan FIGHT-OH!!

One fine day while I was searching youtube for some interesting videos..I suddenly came across this insane mimicry of Indian superstar Rajnikanth !! Check out the video,this one is actually from a show in japan...LOLZZ

Synopsis Continuing on from the first season, Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou follows the story of Natsume, a boy who has been able to see ghosts since he was little. Unfortunately, humans shun him, and there is not much fondness between him and ghosts either. One day, he inherits a Yūjin-Chō ("Book of Friends") from his grandmother. The book is actually full of contracts that his grandmother made to trap ghosts. As one ghost after another shows up, Natsume tries to release or help them — even while many of them seek vengeance on him. - ANN My Review: The Sequel to Natsume Yuujinchou absolutely did not disappoint.The sequel did not just live up to my expactations,but it was actually better than the first series!!The sequel followed all the elements in the prequel,but with better animation,better execution of plot and better ..well everything(as compared to the first!).When I was through with the last episode...I was thinking ..."I want more".Not that the series did not e...

Synopsis Natsume Takashi has the ability to see spirits, which he has long kept secret. However, once he inherits a strange book that belonged to his deceased grandmother, Reiko, he discovers the reason why spirits surround him. Containing the names of these spirits, a binding contract was formed between the spirits and the owner of the book. Now, Natsume is determined to free the spirits and dissolve the contracts. With the help of a spirit cat, his days are filled trying to return the names to these spirits. (from ANN) Episodes: 13 Status: Finished Airing Aired: Jul 7, 2008 to Sep 29, 2008 My Review: Natsume Yuujinchou is one those anime that come once in a blue moon.The anime is a very light,comedic(at times) and interesting.After watching anime like Nana,Bleach,Darker Than Black..etc ,Natsume came as very nice diversion.This very peaceful anime lightened up my heart.Most anime have the tendency to get start off well,but tend to get rather boring,stupid,immature and unrea...

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2 The new episodes of the 2nd "season" of Haruhi Suzumiya aired in chronological order along with the re-airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2006 in what is called according to Kyoto Animation: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya 2009 Back in 2007 when I started watching the first season of Haruhi suzumiya ,I immedeatly fell in love with the series.The series was very addictive and the characters were very likable.I waited patiently for the new season for a year and a half,and when the new season finally started airing in May this year I was really very exited.The season started off well with first 2 episodes living upto my expectations,but then the series entered an endless loop of the endless eight arc. Why am I so upset??Simply speaking episodes 2,3,4,5,6 are all the same!!No I am not joking!!They are the same,down to the last detail,with very few minor differences among the episodes.Our gang seem to have entered into a time loop in ...

Here's the trailer to the much awaited Black Tessaiga OVA ,which will be out on dvd later this year

Synopsis The short stories in the two volumes of Bakemonogatari deal with a high school boy named Koyomi Araragi and strange students he encounters. ("Bakemonogatari" is a wordplay on the Japanese term bakemono for supernatural creatures and the term monogatari for stories.) One student, a girl named Hitagi Senjōgahara, almost literally falls into his lap, only to have him discover she has no weight. (Source: ANN) Episodes: 15 Status: Currently Airing Aired: Jul 3, 2009 to ? My review: "Bakemonogatari" is a wordplay on the Japanese term bakemono for supernatural creatures and the term monogatari for stories.The ghosts in the story are gods or spirits(i.e oniis) who have cast their own special curses on humans resulting in supernatural effects on the humans on whom the curses are cast.Almost each episode starts and ends a story arc,as we see many characters getting introduced as the series progresses.The main plot of the story deals with Koyomi Araragi who t...

eufonius (ユーフォニアス) Eufonius (stylized as eufonius ) is a Japanese progressive rock music group which debuted on October 11 , 2003 with the release of their first album Eufonius which was also an independent release. The band has produced songs for various anime and video games , such as Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl , Himawari! , Noein , True Tears , and Key 's visual novel Clannad . The band is composed of two primary members, Riya — who provided vocals and the majority of the lyrics—and Hajime Kikuchi—who plays the keyboard and handles composition , arrangement , and sometimes lyric. [Source:Wikipedia] I always had this interest for japanese music ever since I started watching anime 10 years ago.Eufonius is one of my favorite j-pop bands,they aren't very well known as they tend to keep a very low profile(It's been pretty hard for me to even find images of the band!).But nevertheless the band is really very good and are much better than many of the j-pop artists out...

The anime depicts what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place. The story centers on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yutaka at the start of summer vacation.
