BECK Mongolian Chop Squad ( MSC)

Fourteen-year-old Yukio Tanaka is one heck of a boring guy. He has no hobbies, a weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality. His shy and somewhat neurotic personality makes him his own worst enemy.
Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets rocker Ryusuke Minami, an unpredictable sixteen-year-old with a cool dog named Beck.
Ryusuke has just returned to Japan from America, and when he inspires Yukio to get into music, the two begin a journey through the world of rock 'n' roll dreams.... Lace up your Docs and head to the mosh pit--Harold Sakuishi's highly addictive manga series that spawned a hit anime has finally reached the States!

Noein

Fifteen years in one of the possible futures, a violent battle using fictional technology takes place between two "time-spaces": La'cryma, a possible future of our own universe, and Shangri'la, another possible dimension fifteen years after ours, intent on the destruction of all space and time. The key to stopping Shangri'la's invasion is a mysterious object known as the "Dragon Torque" (竜のトルク, Ryū no Toruku).
A group known as the "Dragon Knights" is sent through space and time to find it. In the present, twelve-year old Haruka and her friend Yū are contemplating running away from home when they meet a member of the Dragon Knights named Karasu, who is a possible Yū from fifteen years in the future.
Karasu believes that Haruka is the Dragon Torque, but vows to protect her rather than sacrifice her for his timespace, La'cryma. Other than the Dragon Knights, Haruka is targeted by the mysterious Noein, the entity behind Shangri'la who is intent on bringing her into his timespace to end all universes.

Our liveactat this years Top T festival was really very impressive and we enjoyed it very much to play at this festival. Thanks to the organizers team who made a great job and who invited us there. From the very beginning we arrived there we were received with romanian hospitallity. Everything was uncomplicated and Top T was prepared to become a great festival. The fans at Top T and allover Romania are great and pleasent, like in no other areas we played before. Many western european organizers could adopt quite some things from Top T festival, not to talk about the great athmosphere this festival spreads. We are very sorry that we had to leave Top T festival on Friday cause we had to play our next concert in Bucharest, but if we are again in Romania in the sametime we really would like to stay all the 4 days to enjoy Top T festival.

Si mai ales o tona de oameni vii care venisera acolo pentru muzica pentru prietenie pentru ca erau oarecum la fel si daca toate astea nu inseamna libertate si pofta de viata atunci oameni buni,nu ati inteles mai nimic din ce inseamna top t buzau... sincer... intreaga formatie luna amara plus managerul ei asteapta sa mearga la festivalul de la buzau pentru ca a fost bine la buzau. Pentru ca am dat peste oameni care au stiut sa fie oameni pentru ca in romania nu mai exista asa ceva si pentru ca cel putin eu... m-am simtit ca acasa.multumesc.respect,

WALTZ WITH BASHIR

Animated Israeli film Waltz With Bashir, which was pretty overlooked at the Oscars, was treated rather better in France, winning the Best Foreign Film award in the usual venue of the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris.

The secret of Kells

superb movie, superb music




If you’re a fan of unique and alternative forms of 2D animation, you might be interested in an upcoming film from Ireland called The Secret of Kells. Developed by Cartoon Saloon (the makers of Skunk Fu!) with the help of production companies in France and Belgium, this feature-length film has a wonderfully fantastic look and feel to it.



Set during the 9th Century, the story follows a young boy named Brendan who lives alongside the monks in Kells Abbey monastery. Against the backdrop of frequent Viking raids, Brendan is drawn into the creation of the legendary Book of Kells, the illuminated text that was transcribed by Celtic monks during that time period. Buena Vista International will release the movie in Europe on March 6th, although a North American release date has not yet been set. (There’s actually a good chance it may never get released over here… hardcore animation hounds should start petitioning now!) Watch the trailer below, and for more info visit the official website or production blog.

Black Freighter

There’s a trailer up on YouTube for the animated DVD of the Tales of the Black Freighter, the comics-within-a-comic that the kid is reading on the street throughout the Watchmen, worth a quick look:

Cat Shit One

Motofumi Kobayashi's story of "real and fierce combat by cute and fluffy animals"



Japan's Studio Anima publicized its computer-animated adaptation of Motofumi Kobayashi's Cat Shit One manga at Tokyo International Anime Fair this week. ADV Manga released three volumes of the original Cat Shit One manga under the title Apocalypse Meow in North America. The manga follows three American soldiers — Bota, Perky and Rats — during the Vietnam War. The trio just happen to be cute animals in the Cat Shit One recon group.

The 12-episode anime series of "real and fierce combat by cute and fluffy animals" updates the manga's premise by making the three soldiers part of a modern private military company. In the first episode, the three attempt to rescue hostages, but end up surrounded by guerrillas demanding the withdrawal of United States Armed Forces in the area.
