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

2009-10-19T18:41:00.009+03:00

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.
(Chris - Possession - Austria )

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,

The secret of Kells

2009-05-07T23:52:00.005+03:00

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.

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.

There's some pretty average stuff in there, but also some outstanding ones. Of course, it is notable that the last episode is "Neko no Shuukai", and is done by Makoto Shinkai, featuring Chobi the cat.

An: 2007

Creat de: Kōji Kumeta [a scris manga cu acelasi nume - 11 volume, ongoing - "Winner of the 2007 Kodansha Award for Shounen"]

Este povestea unui tînăr profesor chinuit de multiple angoase. Deşi provenind dintr-o familie cu tradiţie şi bani, Itoshiki Nozomu nu poate ieşi dintr-o pasă neagră cronică. Pînă şi pictogramele cu care îşi scrie numele pot fi citite împreună ca "zetsubou" (disperare).

Ce anume îl afectează atît de puternic pe Itoshiki? Aproape orice. Zilnic are ocazia să întîlnească manifestări ale lumii înconjurătoare ce au darul de-al deprima îngrozitor. De la teama ca un card pierdut să nu ducă la golirea contului său şi pînă la exasperarea în faţa entuziasmului infantil al mass-media faţă de subiecte penibile, multiple sînt motivele ce-l aduc aproape în pragul sinuciderii.

Makoto Shinkai ~beautiful~

2008-10-02T12:57:00.000+03:00

Makoto Shinkai (Shinkai Makoto^?), born Makoto Niitsu (Niitsu Makoto^?) (born February 9, 1973) is a Japanese anime director, animator, and principal voice actor. A native of the Nagano prefecture in Japan, he studied Japanese literature in university. He traces his passion for creation to the manga, anime, and novels he was exposed to while in middle school. His favorite anime is Castle in the Sky by Hayao Miyazaki. Shinkai has been called "The New Miyazaki" in several reviews including Anime Advocates and ActiveAnime, though he disagrees with this comparison, stating that "it is an overestimation".

The Place Promised in Our Early Days

Totally love this anime music video using Kokia’s Arigatou with the anime ‘The Place Promised In Our Early Days’ (Kumo no Mukou, Yakusoku no Basho). Kokia is a relatively lesser known Japanese singer who knew how to express her feelings by sound in her early childhood and her third single ‘Arigatou’ used in this anime music video won the third place in the International Popular Music Award in Hong Kong. 1 videoclip after the jump.

She and Her Cat: She and Her Cat, subtitled Their standing points, is an independent five minute anime OVA about the relationship between a male cat and his female owner told from the cat's perspective. It was created mostly by Makoto Shinkai, except the soundtrack, which was done by his friend Tenmon. She and Her Cat is also the first project Makoto Shinkai directed.

5 Centimeters Per Second

Makoto Shinkai had expressed that, unlike his past works, there would be no fantasy or science fiction elements in this film. Instead, the feature film would attempt to present the real world from a different perspective. Makoto's film gives a realistic view of the struggles many face against: time, space, people, and love. The title 5 Centimeters Per Second comes from the speed at which cherry blossoms petals fall, petals being a metaphorical representation of humans, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift into their separate ways.^[1]

Other Worlds:
This is the first short anime (1 min 28 sec) which Mr. Shinkai made in 1997, and He continued adjusting it till 1999. The motifs, which appears in his other films again and again, repeatedly already used in it; such as trains, telegraph poles, and everyday scenery of Japanese town. The atmosphere is close to "Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko."
Special Award in "eAT Kanazawa '98"
The Highest Award (General Animation Category) in "SKIP Creative Human Award '98"

After winning the grand prize, Shinkai began thinking about a follow-up while he continued to work as a graphic designer for Falcom, a video game company. Some months later in June 2000, Shinkai was inspired to begin Voices of a Distant Star by drawing a picture of a girl in a cockpit grasping a cell phone. Some time later, he was contacted by Mangazoo, who offered to "work with him," giving him a grant to turn his idea into an anime they could sell. In May 2001, he quit his job at Falcom and began to work on Voices. In an interview, Shinkai noted that production took around seven months of "real work."

VAMPIRE KNIGHT only for girls

2008-09-25T15:28:00.000+03:00

Vampire Knight is a shōjo manga and anime series written by Matsuri Hino. The series premiered in the January 2005 issue of LaLa magazine and is still on-going. Chapters are collected and published in collected volumes by Hakusensha, with seven volumes currently released in Japan. The manga series is licensed in English by Viz Media.

Plot

Yuki's earliest memory is of a snowy night in winter, when she was attacked by one vampire and was saved by another, Kaname Kuran. Ten years later, Yuki Cross, the adopted daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, has grown up and become a "prefect" (also known as a guardian) for the school with two purposes: to protect the Day class students (humans) from the Night class students (vampires) and to protect the true identity of the Night class students from being discovered by the Day class students. Her fellow guardian, Zero Kiryu, a childhood companion whose parents were killed by a pureblood vampire, is now determined to kill them all and refuses to trust them. Through a cruel twist of fate, Zero becomes a vampire himself, having been bitten by a pureblood vampire four years before, Shizuka Hiou. Kaname, Yuki's savior, leads the group of Night class, with the help of Takuma Ichijo (the vice president).

Differences between media

The main differences between the anime and manga are the placing of the story and the finer details. Several events with the anime are rearranged (such as when Yuki is attacked, however she is attacked several times in anime). Also, minor details of how Yuki is attacked are also changed. Some scenes and details, like when Zero fires his gun, the Cross Academy symbol is shot out, or when Yuki follows a child with a red balloon or Aido's "Souveneir Collection", which appear in the anime but are not seen in the original manga. The scene where Kaname lets Zero drink his blood is also different in the manga.

Characters

Yuki Cross
The adoptive daughter of the headmaster of Cross Academy, Yuki is a member of the school's disciplinary committee, which is also known as Prefect (Guardian). Ten years prior to the events of "Vampire Knight," Yuki was attacked by a vampire, but was rescued by Kaname. She has lost all memory of her life before the attack because her mother, Juuri Kuran, used her pureblood powers to put her vampire side to sleep, and Headmaster Cross took her in as his own daughter. She, like Chairman Cross, believes that vampires and humans can live together peacefully. She has also been giving her childhood friend Zero her blood to save him from becoming a Level E vampire. She and Kaname were raised as siblings by Yuki's parents, Juri and Haruka Kuran, who were also siblings and heads of the Kuran line of pureblood vampires. She is also Kaname's fiance, whom she believes to be her brother, and Kaname has yet to tell her the truth about who he is. Yuki has feelings for Kaname who has always been protecting her and has been by her side during her childhood as a human and as a vampire, but also has a deep connection and strong feelings for Zero. When Rido Kuran, Yuki's uncle, resurfaces at Cross Academy, Kaname awakens her vampiric side and pureblood powers.

Zero Kiryu
Zero's family was killed by the pureblood vampire Shizuka Hiou. Zero was taken in by the headmaster of Cross Academy, and became a Prefect, (Guardian) alongside Yuki Cross. He has a great hatred for vampires though he is revealed to be himself a Level D due to Shizuka's attack four years ago. He also has a younger twin brother named Ichiru who was living by Shizuka's side. Even though Kaname killed Shizuka, Ichiru thought it was Zero and blamed him. Zero assumed that Ichiru wanted revenge but instead he wanted death so he let Zero "eat him" making Zero complete putting him at a tier of power above vampires and hunters and possibly saving him from becoming a Level E indefinitely. Zero is in love with Yuki, always protecting her, and almost kissing her but restrains himself.

Kaname Kuran
A pureblood vampire, Kaname saved Yuki from an attack by another vampire when she was little. He is the class president of the Night Class, much feared and respected by the other Night Class students. While he is cold and authoritative towards his fellows in the Night Class, he is always kind and sweet to Yuki. He has shown that he cares deeply for Yuki, and loves her in a romantic sense. (He allows Zero to live because he knows his death would sadden Yuki, and because Zero is useful).He is both jealous and angry of Zero for biting Yuki and endangering her life. He has a deep love for Yuki. They are also engaged, just like Haruka and Juuri, who were married to each other as it is common for pureblood siblings to marry. It is essential to keep the bloodline pure. Also, a fact yet to be revealed to Yuki is that Kaname is not her "true brother". He is actually the ancient ancestor of the Kurans, and Rido is his master who awakened him from his grave, making him unable to kill the man.

Povestea se petrece in secolul 19,povestea se contureaza in jurul unui baiat pe nume Allen Walker care este membru unei organizati pe nume The Black Order a carei membri sunt cunoscuti sub numele de exorcisti,misunea lor este sa il opreasca pe Millennium Earl care vrea sa distruga toti oameni de pe pamant.

In preajma sfarsitului de secol XX oamenii nu se confruntau doar cu mizeria vietii de zi cu zi, ci cu amenintari teribile aduse asupra intregii lor lumi. Amenintarea cea mai mare este intruchipata intr-un personaj straniu si periculos, cunoscut drept Milenium Earl. Acesta are puterea de a invoca demoni folosindu-se de slabiciunile oamenilor pe care ii distruge pentru a-si incheia ritualurile teribile.Dar cum nu exista rau fara bine, si orice se poate desface, Milenium Earl are de-a face cu exorcistii... care, folosindu-si puterea Inocentei, data la nastere, ii fac misiunea aleasa din ce in ce mai grea, mai ales de cand in randurile lor a intrat un anume pusti care ii datoreaza un ochi blestemat si cateva amintiri indeajuns de dureroase cat sa-l tina pe tot restul vietii...Allen Walker si colegii lui exorcisti si-au inchinat viata impiedicarii lui Milenium Earl de a aduce sfarsitul lumii, iar povestea nu ne arata doar luptele dintre cele doua parti... Fiecare individ are o poveste de spus si o lectie de dat mai departe...

Dupa manga lui Hoshino Katsura (which is pretty good in my opinion). Akuma, demoni nascuti din sufletele moarte chemati din greseala, de cei dragi inapoi in lume, sunt armele lui Millenium Earl, a carui intentie este de a distruge lumea. Blestemul lui Allen Walker este mana sa stanga - o arma anti-akuma - si ochiul sau stang care poate vedea sufletele inlantuite din akuma. Totodata el este unul dintre putinele persoane in care se regaseste Inocenta, o substanta care-i permite sa salveze sufletele damnate si sa-i distruga pe akuma, luptand astfel impotriva contelui.

BLEACH

2008-09-25T12:21:00.000+03:00

Bleach este o serie manga şi anime realizată de Tite Kubo, mangaka (creator de manga) al Zombie Powder.
Bleach urmăreşte viaţa lui Ichigo Kurosaki, un elev de liceu de 15-ani cu abilitatea de a vedea fantome şi un shinigami (în traducere directă ,,zeu al morţii”) cu numele de Rukia Kuchiki. Primele părţi ale poveştii se desfăşoară în jurul acestor personaje. Odată cu desfăşurarea evenimentelor, povestea începe să ne dezvăluie mai mult din lumea zeilor morţii.
Seria manga a fost adaptată într-un serial animat de televiziune, două OVA, trei filme de animaţie de lung metraj, un musical rock, numeroase jocuri video, şi un set de cărţi de joc de colecţie. Volumele compilate de manga s-au vândut într-un număr de 40 milioane de copii în Japonia, şi au ajuns în topul de vânzări de manga din Statele Unite. Seria manga a primit Premiul Shogakukan Manga pentru categoria shōnen în 2005, iar seria anime a fost nominalizată de numeroase ori la premiile American Anime Awards.

Povestea începe cu apariţia subită a Rukia Kuchiki în camera lui Ichigo Kurosaki. Ea este surprinsă de abiltatea sa de o vedea, dar conversaţia ce rezultă este întreruptă de apariţia unui hollow, un spirit malefic. După ce Rukia este grav rănită încercând să-l protejeze pe Ichigo, ea intenţionează să-i transfere jumătate din puterile ei lui Ichigo, sperând să îi dea oportunitatea să înfrunte hollows pe picior de egalitate. Ichigo absoarbe neintenţionat aproximativ toată puterea ei, ceea ce îi permite să învingă hollow cu uşurinţă.
Următoarea zi, Rukia apare în clasa lui Ichigo ca un elev transferat. Spre surprinderea lui, ea pare a fi un om normal. Ea teoretizează că puterea spirituală a lui Ichigo a dus la absorbţia aproape totală a puterilor ei, lăsând-o ca urmare naufragiată în lumea reală. Rukia şi-a transferat spiritul într-un gigai (un corp uman artificial) până când îşi va recăpăta abilităţile. Între timp, Ichigo trebuie să-i preia îndatoririle de shinigami, luptând cu hollows şi ghidând suflete rătăcite înapoi în Soul Society.

Personaje principale

Ichigo Kurosaki
Protagonistul din Bleach, Ichigo, un elev de liceu cu părul portocaliu devine un shinigami temporar după ce absoarbe forţat de împrejurări puterile lui Rukia Kuchiki. Natura lui cinică îl face ca la început să îi displacă noua datorie, dar cu trecerea timpului acesta o acceptă, iar cînd puterile sale temporare dispar, îşi riscă viaţa pentru a deveni un shinigami deplin. Acesta îşi doreşte puteri cît mai mari pentru a fi în stare să protejeze pe toţi cei dragi lui şi pentru a o salva pe Rukia de la moarte.

Rukia Kuchiki Rukia Kuchiki este un shimigami trimisă în lumea oamenilor ca patrulă de exterminare a spiritelor malefica în oraşul natal a lui Ichigo. Deşi fizic arată ca o adolescentă, ea are defapt peste 150 de ani. Rukia este forţată în timpul unei lupte să-şi transfere puterile lui Ichigo şi să trăiască o perioadă ca un om obişnuit. Se înscrie la liceul din oraş şi se mută în dulapul lui Ichigo, în timp ce îl învaţă cum să fie un shinigami-înlocuitor în locul ei.

Orihime Inoue Orihime Inoue este o colegă veche de clasă a lui Ichigo, îndeaproape legată de el de o prietenă comună (Tatsuki Arisawa). Ea este practic orfană, de vreme ce ea şi fratele ei mai mare, Sora, au fugit din casa în care erau abuzaţi de la o vârstă fragedă, iar mai târziu şi acesta a murit. Deşi iniţial lipsită de puteri spirituale, începe să şi le dezvolte pe timpul petrecut pe lângă Ichigo în noua sa formă, ulterior posedând una din cele mai puternice abilităţi de vindecare, fiind capabilă de a readuce corpul la starea precedentă de sănătate, oricât de grave ar fi rănile. Are nişte zâne care îi îndeplinesc dorinţele.

Y asutora "Chad" Sado Yasutora Sado, cunoscut mai bine drept Chad, este unul dintre cei mai buni prieteni ai lui Ichigo. Deşi este cunoscut pentru statura sa impozantă este foarte blând, refuzând a se lupte decât pentru binele altora. Nu poate percepe fantomele la început, dar acest lucru se schimbă când observă un grup de copii find atacaţi de un hollow. Descoperă că posedă o putere unică ce îi acoperă unul dintre braţe, crescându-i puterea şi permiţându-i să distrugă hollows. Mai tîrziu manifestă şi puterea de a trage cu energie din braţul acoperit cu armură.

Uryū Ishida Deşi la prima vedere nu pare decât un coleg de clasă silitor, dar solitar, Uryū Ishida este defapt un Quincy, descendent al unei clan de arcaşi cu abilităţi de a vâna hollows. Poartă o ură pentru toţi shinigami, inclusiv Ichigo, dar după un timp ajunge să-l vadă pe Ichigo diferit, în cele din urmă ajungând să-l considere aliat şi prieten.

The World of Lineage II

2008-09-18T14:23:00.000+03:00

The world of Lineage II is a war-torn land spanning two continents, where trust and betrayal clash as three kingdoms vie for power.

Combat System
In Lineage II, what you see on the screen is in real time. Therefore, it is critical to make an appropriate decision quickly for every situation you get in. Lineage II pursues both strategic features and action-oriented features by offering client-server synchronization and production of a client's battle at the same time.You will battle monsters with superior AI, use skills that need to be selected according to each particular situation, overcome situations through teamwork with other clan members, and experience action that is always thrilling, even when you kill a single monster.

Uniquely Specialized Races and Classes

Humans in Lineage II are similar to Humans in the modern world. Humans currently have the greatest dominion in the world and the largest population.

Special Abilities of the Race: Although Humans do not possess any special abilities, their strong point is the fact that they can transfer to the most specialized classes.

Characteristics: Humans are well-balanced in all of their characteristics.

The race of Elves worships the goddess of water and loves nature and aquatic life. The Elves
have slim and nimble bodies, long ears, and beautiful features. During the era of giants, among all creatures they held the most power. However, when the giants were destroyed, the power and influence of the Elves were also diminished. Now they only inhabit part of the forest in Aden.
Special Abilities of the Race: Compared to other races, Elves can hold their breath longer and are better able to jump from high places.
Characteristics: Elves are wise and quick-witted. They are fast in attack, movement and casting speeds. They also have superior marksmanship skills and higher evasion ratings. However, their attack strength is inferior to that of other races.

Dark Elves were once part of the Elven tribes, but were banished after they learned black magic in order to obtain the power to fight Humans. They lost the battle, but continued to study the dark arts. Dark Elves have similar features to their Elven brethren, but are taller, have blue-gray skin, and silver hair. They follow Shilen, the goddess of Death.
Special Abilities of the Race: Compared to other races, Elves can hold their breath longer and are better able to jump from high places.
Characteristics: Since they possess high STR and INT, the Dark Elven attack capability is high.

The Orc race is the race of fire. Among all races, Orcs possess the greatest physical abilities. After the destruction of the giants, they were able to expel the Elves and attained the most powerful position on Aden. However, they were defeated by the Elf-Human alliance some time later, and are currently living in an arctic area of Elmore.
Special Abilities of the Race: They have a strong resistance to negative effects, such as poison or sickness.
Characteristics: Orcs have superior physical strength, with high maximum HP and MP levels. They also have a fast recovery speed. However, they are not quick and have slow movement, attack, and casting speeds. They have low marksmanship and evasion as well.

Dwarves are of the race of earth. They have strong physical strength, a curious nature, and a fondness for creating new items. After the destruction of the giants, the Dwarven race always tried to side with the most powerful race in the land. However, as a result they became an isolated race - disliked by all other races for their profiteering nature. Their society structure can be compared to a large corporation and they are still renowned for their business savvy and capacity for organization. Dwarves are largely divided into Scavengers who find and retrieve raw materials, and Artisans who manufacture products out of raw materials.Special Abilities of the Race: Their inventory size is larger than that of other races and, compared to other races, their weight penalty is lower.Characteristics: Dwarves are master craftsmen and boast of great physical strength.

The Kamael are born into their destined religion that serves an absolute ruler called the “Mother Nornil”. Under the Mother Nornil, they devote their faith in the Goddess of Past, who rules history, the Goddess of Present, who records everything happening at this moment, and the Goddess of Future, who forecasts what’s to come.
Kamael have an affinity towards darkness. Because of this they can increase their own or decrease an enemy’s resistance to darkness, or bestow a darkness buff to their attacks. The Kamael can consume the souls of their enemies and turn the souls into energy to fuel their own skills. Most of their skills such as laying traps, buffs and magic can only be activated upon consuming a certain number of souls.

NARUTO

2008-08-18T14:25:00.000+03:00

NARUTO în Japonia este o serie manga japoneză scrisă şi ilustrată de Masashi Kishimoto, având şi o adaptare anime. Personajul principal, Naruto Uzumaki, este un ninja adolescent, imprevizibil şi hiperactiv, care este într-o constantă căutare de cunoaştere, visând să devină Hokage, un ninja recunoscut ca cel mai puternic dintre toţi şi liderul satului.

Prima serie animată din cele două serii anunţate, produs de Studio Pierrot şi Aniplex, a avut premiera în Japonia pe TV Tokyo Network şi pe postul satelit Animax pe data de 3 octombrie 2002, şi se află şi la această oră în cadrul programului TV. Naruto a debutat în Statele Unite în cadrul programului Toonami al Cartoon Network, la data de 10 septembrie 2005, iar în Canada pe YTV's Bionix pe data de 16 septembrie 2005. Naruto a început să fie vizionat în Regatul Unit pe programul Jetix pe data de 22 iulie 2006. A început deasemenea să fie difuzat pe Toasted TV pe data de 12 ianuarie 2007, în Australia, deşi putea fi vizionat pe Cartoon Network în 2006. Prima serie a durat 9 sezoane, pe când Naruto: Shippūden şi-a început primul sezon pe data de 15 februarie 2007.

naruto episode 1 part 1

Acţiunea urmăreşte dezvoltării lui Naruto şi a prietenilor săi ca luptători ninja, accentuând interacţiunile dintre ei şi influenţa evenimentelor asupra personalităţii lor. Naruto găseşte doi prieteni si camarazi în Sasuke Uchiha şi Sakura Haruno, doi tineri ninja care au fost grupaţi cu el pentru a forma o echipă condusă de experimentatul profesor Kakashi Hatake.^[4] De asemenea Naruto câştigă încrederea tuturor personajelor întâlnite de-a lungul seriilor. Aceştia învaţă noi abilităţi, ajung să se cunoască reciproc şi sa cunoasca alte sate, pornind într-o călătorie ce are ca scop visul lui Naruto de a deveni Hokage al satului Konoha.

De-a lungul seriei, se pune accent pe dezvoltarea personajelor, cu puţine lucruri întâmplătoare. Mai întâi, accentul se pune pe Naruto, Sasuke şi Sakurei, membrii Echipa 7. Totuşi, şi alte personaje sunt prezentate în aceeaşi ipostază, cum ar fi Kakashi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, la fel şi membrii celorlalte echipe şi sate. Câteva personaje negative sunt prezentate de asemenea, primul fiind Zabuza Momochi, din satul Kiri şi partenerul său, Haku. Mai târziu, în timpul Examenelor Chunin, Orochimaru şi Kabuto Yakushi, mâna sa dreapta, sunt prezentaţi. In timplul aceleaşi perioade sunt prezentaţi şi trei ninja cunoscuţi ca "Sand Siblings" (Fraţi Nisipului). Aceşti fraţi sunt din Sunagakure şi îi includ pe Temari, Kankuro, şi Gaara. Mai târziu, o organizaţie misterioasă numită Akatsuki începe să îl urmărească pe Naruto pentru Vulpea cu Nouă Cozi sigilată în interiorul lui.

Naruto Uzumaki

Naruto Uzumaki este principalul protagonist al seriilor Naruto. Este primul personaj creat de Kishimoto în timpul concepţiilor iniţiale ale seriilor, fiind destinat să aibă numeroase trăsături din alte creaţii shōnen, inclusiv Son Goku din seriile Dragon Ball. Naruto este un ninja afiliat cu satul Konoha, dorind să devină un Hokage, sau liderul satului. Datorită faptului că este gazda Vulpii cu Nouă Cozi, este ostracizat de ceilalţi săteni. El compensează acest lucru cu personalitatea sa şi, pe parcursul seriilor, reuşeşte să se împrietenească cu alţi ninja din satul Konoha şi din alte sate. Are o relaţie foarte apropiată cu colegul lui ninja, Sasuke Uchiha ninja, tratându-l ca un frate.

Sasuke Uchiha

Sasuke Uchiha este unul din membrii Echipei 7. A fost creat de Kishimoto pentru a fi un rival pentru Naruto, la fel şi un "geniu
rece", lucru care după părerea lui Kishimoto, a fost o parte integrală a unei rivalităţi ideale. Este printre puţinii membrii ai clanului Uchiha, datorită faptului că fratele său, Itachi Uchiha, i-a ucis pe ceilalţi. Datorită acestui lucru, Sasuke creşte cu o personalitate rece, având ca dorinţă uciderea fratelui său. Interacţiunile sale cu membrii echipei, mai ales cu Naruto Uzumaki, îl fac să se concentreze mai puţin la răzbunare, însă întâlnirea cu Itachi, care îl lasă pe Sasuke învins mental şi fizic, îl determină pe Sasuke să plece din sat şi să caute mai multă putere din partea criminalului Orochimaru.Dupa 3 ani Sasuke, realizand ca nu mai are ce invata de la Orochimaru il ucide pe acesta si recruteaza o echipa pentru a il gasi pe Itachi Uchiha. Cea mai mare parte a părţii secunde se axează pe încercările colegilor săi de al recupera de la Orochimaru.

Sakura Haruno

Sakura Haruno este singura membră feminină a Echipei 7. Kishimoto a creat-o ca eroină a seriei, cu toate că el recunoscuse că avea o percepţie vagă asupra eroinei ideale. Ca şi copil, Sakura a fost ironizată de ceilalţi copii datorită frunţii sale mari, trăsătură pe care Kishimoto încercase să o includă în apariţiile Sakurei, însă atenuată de Ino Yamanaka. Pe măsură ce cele două se maturizează, fetele continuă să se distanţeze datorită sentimentelor împărtăşite pentru Sasuke Uchiha. Pe parcursul părţii întâi, Sakura este infatuată cu Sasuke şi izbucneşte în faţa avansurilor lui Naruto Uzumaki. Doamne ce-l mai buseste pe Naruto...După ce Sasuke părăseşte satul, ea devine mai puternică antrenându-se cu Tsunade. În partea a doua, ea arată nişte abilităţi cu înalte efecte şi o atitudine mai degajată faţă de Naruto.In Naruto Shippuuden Sakura devine mai serioasa si mai sigura pe ea devenind astfel lidera grupului de ninja medicali si luptand pt a-l recupera pe Sasuke.

Sakura the medical ninja with super strength i just love this girl

Kakashi Hatake

Kakashi Hatake este liderul Echipei 7 şi profesorul trioului format din Naruto, Sasuke şi Sakura. Kishimoto dorea iniţial ca Kakashi să fie prezentat mai devreme în seriile Naruto, creându-l ca o persoană maleabilă, care va putea menţine Echipa 7 în alertă. Kakashi tratează conducerea sa într-o manieră detaşată, având ca rezultat întârzieri repetate la întruniri. O prezentare a trecutului său ne prezintă acest lucru ca rezultat al unui incident la care era martor şi în care îşi pierde viaţa un coechipier de-al său, Obito Uchiha, care i-a dat lui Kakashi ochiul său Sharingan, transmiţându-i multe trăsături personale precum întârzierea. Datorită Sharinganului lui Obito, Kakashi a căpătat reputaţia de ninja puternic şi îndemânatic, căpătând titlul "Copy Ninja Kakashi". Deşi este mentorul celor trei membrii ai Echipei 7, se concentrează pe antrenarea lui Sasuke, pe măsură ce seriile continuă, învăţându-l tehnica sa Chidori; totuşi, este incapabil să îl oprească pe Sasuke să părăsească satul pentru ca acesta să îl caute pe Orochimaru pentru mai multă putere.

Naruto: Shippūden (Naruto: Hurricane Chronicles) este continuarea anime-ului Naruto şi acoperă seria manga Naruto de la volumul 28 mai departe. După ce se antrenează doi ani jumătate cu Jiraya, Naruto se întoarce în Konoha, unde reîntâlneşte prieteni lăsaţi în urmă, şi reface Echipa 7, acum numită Echipa Kakashi, cu Sai înlocuindu-l pe Sasuke. Toţi colegi lui Naruto s-au maturizat şi au crescut în rang, unui mai mult decât alţi. Spre deosebire de seria originală unde ei jucau roluri minore, organizaţia Akatsuki devine principalul antagonist al seriei.

Adaptarea TV a Naruto: Shippūden şi-a avut debutul în Japonia la 15 februarie, 2007 pe TV Tokyo, şi în Filipine la 28 ianuarie, 2008 pe ABS-CBN. Naruto Shippūden inca se difuzeaza, ajungand saptamana aceasta la episodul 71.

sayaka yamamoto

a collection of soft interior objects inspired by dinosaur bones

Based artist and designer Sayaka Yamamoto (one half of the BCXSY team) has always been fascinated by dinosaurs, and this interest has translated into a series of soft sculptures for the interior made of rubber-coated foam. Living with Dinosaurs, the name of the collection, allows us to live with bones and skeletons in a friendly way.

Illustrator CHICHI

Illustrator CHICHI designs all our products (Visible Elephant 47, posters, illustrations, etc).

Having lived in New York for more than 10 years, he noticed the potential of computer technology as a medium for anyone to create artistic designs. Increasingly however, he also saw the negative impact of this trend, with similar designs flooding the internet making it hard to differentiate between imitation and original designs.

As an illustrator, CHICHI wanted to release real original designs globally.

Using a computer rather than a pen, CHICHI creates "line drawings" to draw and design.
CHICHI's contribution to the previously curved world of VE47 is appreciated by the entire team of Visible Elephant 47, with his work appearing on the brand's clothes and posters.

MIND GAME

2008-08-12T13:57:00.000+03:00

"This award-winning film is a journey of self-discovery based on Japan's cult underground comic "Mind Game" by Robin Nishi. The story follows Nishi himself through the life experiences that directly inspired the semi-autobiographical "Mind Game" comic. As a college-age loser addicted to porn and aspiring to write seedy adult comics, Nishi aspires to overcome his addiction to perversion in a tale that is lighthearted yet painful and touching. What starts off as an innocent meeting between old friends quickly turns into a psychedelic extravaganza, filled with violence, sex, love, redemption, and the infinite possibilities of the human mind. Director Masaaki Yuasa rejoices in experimental animation techniques, filling the screen with virtuoso wackiness, mixing in rough lines and storyboards, then inserting photographic touches. "

Yuasa's debut feature, Mind Game has been touted as an anime masterpiece, and one that completely redefines the medium. While the latter might be true, there's simply too much in the film that feels overly familiar.

Darker Than Black

2008-08-12T13:45:00.000+03:00

In Tokyo apare o zona misterioasa numita Hell's Gate, care pare a avea legatura si cu aparitia unori indivizi cu puteri supranaturale numiti keiyakusha. Acestia, desi asemanatori oamenilor, nu au emotii, nu pot visa si sunt folositi ca spioni sau asasini de diverse organizatii. Personajul principal al acestei serii este Hei, un renumit keiyakusha supranumit si "Kuro no Shinigami" { black death god } ce lucreaza impreuna cu Huang, Mao si Yin. Povestea lui Hei nu primeste atat de multa atentie, animeul fiind compus din mici povestioare, oarecum repetitive dar totusi interesante.

Everything began when an mysterious territory appeared in Tokyo. They called it the Hell’s Gate. And, along with it, came these ‘humans’ with tremendous powers. We are concerned with Hei. Messier Code: BK-201. He is an elite contractor, and that goes without saying, the most powerful one. He and his team members, Yin, a doll i.e. some sort of contractor without any feelings; Huang, the normal being and Mao, a contractor who lost his body and now lives in the body of a cat.

Oh, I forgot to mention that when these contractors came into existence, the sky disappeared and was replaced with a fake one. Each star in the new sky representing one contractor.

Each Contractor has a uniquely bizarre remuneration, reflecting the chaotic nature of the Hell’s Gate. Remunerations are typically difficult for the Contractor and range in severity from irritating to painful. - Wikipedia :))))))))

Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek

2008-08-12T13:23:00.000+03:00

Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek premiered earlier this year in March at the Tokyo International Anime Fair, where it quietly picked up an award for Notable Entry in the General Category. In Korea, it received a Best Film Nomination at the Seoul Comics and Animation Festival. Later, it went on to win Best Short film at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montreal.

This awesome-looking anime follows a group of eight masked teens as they engage in a deadly game of Hide and Seek with a group of bloodthirsty demons under the streets of Tokyo. The fast paced story follows Hikora and Yaimao, who've joined the sinister game in order to find their sister who disappeared during a previous game.

Packing a tremendous visual punch unlike anything you've seen before, Kakuenbo is completely 3-D animated, except that it doesn't look it — instead, the 3D is used to deliver what looks like extremely high-quality cel-animation. The lighting effects alone are worth the price. This dark, sinister film is the very first production effort from Yamatoworks, and we hope to see more from this exciting and imaginative studio.

The world of Kakurenbo: Hide & Seek is a grungy, dilapidated city that is a mix of old and new. Masses of wires connect broken-down yet towering traditional Japanese style buildings. The city is often grey and smoggy, but even on sunny days, the buildings are so tall that they block out the sunlight. Rumors spread about this town. They say that kids go there to play a strange game of hide-and-seek. The rumors also say that the children who go to play don't come back. It's said that the demons who live in the city take them away.

HELL GIRL

2008-08-12T12:13:00.000+03:00

"If you truly wish to eliminate your antagonist you must untie that red string
If you remove the string, you shall officially enter into a contract with me.
The one you seek revenge upon shall be taken immediately to Hell
However there always have to be a price, if i deliver your revenge,
i must have you make restitution to me.
When one person is cursed, two graves are dug.
When you die, your soul will also belong to Hell.
Your shall wander forever in pain and suffering you will never know the joys of Heaven.
You will be left through a world made of pain and agony, there to remain for all of eternity.
Well thats after you die." The rest is for you to decide"

"Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness, bringing torment and pain to others, Oh damned soul wallowing into sin...
PERHAPS IT IS TIME TO DIE"

Enma Ai's Story

Enma Ai is a spiritual entity with a tragic past, who lives in a world of eternal twilight with her grandmother, and is the one who receives and delivers vengeance on her clients' behalf. She normally wears a black seifuku, or sailor uniform ( which is usually worn during winter months), but always wears a kimono with floral designs when delivering the vengeance of a client. Ai started her career as the Hell Girl by her own act of vengeance on the villagers who sentenced her to a sacrificial death.

adventure, horror, mystery, psychological, science fiction, supernatural

In a world where humans and androids, known as autoraves, live in relative peace, there exists a domed city named "Romdeau". Under the implementation of complete management control, it is a paradise where feelings are literally discarded, and the governing council dictates the way of life the citizens should live. But this utopian landscape is soon broken by a series of mystifying murders. Real Mayar, a female inspector from the Citizen Information Bureau, along with her autoreiv partner Iggy, are tasked to solve the murder cases. She is soon attacked by a creature drawn to her which is neither human nor android, and learns about the mysterious phenomena called "Awakening", an event which draws her further into the case...and to the world beyond the limits of Romdeau.

GANTZ

2008-08-11T22:52:00.000+03:00

Gantz is a manga and anime series written by Hiroya Oku. Gantz tells the story of a teenager named Kei Kurono who dies in a train accident and becomes part of a semi-posthumous "game" in which he and several other recently deceased people are forced to hunt down and kill aliens. The missions they are dangerous.

Much to the annoyance of Kei, he and his childhood friend Katou have died, having been torn apart by a train. But rather than finding themselves at the gates of heaven, the duo materialize in a room full of strangers and a giant black sphere known as GANTZ. As if dying once wasn’t bad enough, the occupants of the room are then forced to embark on dangerous missions to kill strange aliens; missions that very few return from. Now, Kei, Katou, and a well-endowed friend must fight for their freedom with an arsenal of guns, high powered suits, and a very low chance of survival.

Kurono Kei:

The story's protagonist, a 10th grader. He is summoned by Gantz, along with Kato, after being hit by a subway train in an effort to help a hobo who passes out on the tracks. In the beginning, he is a rather selfish character who often ends up being the reluctant hero. At one point, Kurono actually enjoys the brutal missions, having a chance to prove his mettle and to use the powers Gantz's technology grants him to decimate his foes, as well as to receive the admiration of his team members, such as Sei or Kishimoto. In the manga, Kurono is eventually regarded as a hero by the other players who look up to him. Kurono himself looks up to Kato after his death.

Kishimoto Kei
Kishimoto first appears naked in the Apartment as her death involved slitting her wrists while in a bathtub. Kurono has a deep crush on her, but she herself has a crush on Masaru Kato; she even sacrifices her life in an attempt to save his in the Buddha Temple mission.

Kato Masaru
He is an old friend of Kurono. He is a noble and heroic person and was inspired by the Kei-chan he knew as a boy. At school, he acts as a guardian to the weaker students who often find themselves bullied, getting himself a bit of a reputation for fighting. He is summoned, along with Kurono, by Gantz. They are hit by a subway train, a consequence of helping a drunken hobo who blacks out on the tracks. Kato and his little brother live with their aunt, but continued abuse toward his little brother and a stressed family situation later cause him to obtain an apartment for the two of them. Frequently, Gantz addresses him as "Katō-cha", after the Japanese comedian, Katōcha. During his third mission, the Buddha Temple mission, the final boss kills him.

Am gasit un anime foarte tare. Dar din pacate e doar pentru fete, e siropos.

value="http://www.youtube.com/v/svxGgc8xH_k&hl=en&fs=1">

Super anime-ul, pot spune ca mie mi-a dat fluturi in stomac all the way...Interesant este ca nu t poti plictisi niciodata d el(chiar si pt cei care nu prea sunt cu d-astea f romantice & lovey-lovey ), din moment ce intriga este foarte bine realizata si intotdeauna park ti s ascund secrete...Va pot spune cu siguranta ca merita vazut si asteptat cu sufletul la gura...Asta dk va place genul asta d anime-uri...E foarte realist.
Povestea e intre drama si romance(ahh, si slice of life).
Este un anime facut dupa manga cu acelasi nume d 26 ep din care 9 au iesit pana acum subate, din cate stiu eu...Studioul este Artland...
Prima oara o sa vorbesc d grafica care poate parea un pic ciudata la profiluri , insa in rest e foarte buna si poate chiar excelenta... altfel nu as fi scris un topic dsp el Coloana sonora nu pot spune ca m-a impresionat, dar pastreaza atmosfera de sweet-bitter.
Story
Incep cu clasicul so...Este vorba dsp o 'boboaca'-Nanami Takahashi- care vrea sa-si faca prieteni noi la liceu...In noua sa clasa , printre fete, se vorbeste mult dsp Yano Motoharu care in gimnaziu era placut d fete (care si acum este un fel d 'popular guy'). Nana-chan ser indragosteste de Yano si ii destainuie iubirea, mai tarziu, ca si Yano la randul lui sa ii spuna ' te iubesc'. Pe parcurs Nana-chan afla despre trecutul lui Yano, despre fosta lui prietena care a murit intr-un accident de masina, si despre multe alte probleme care incep sa le faca relatia sa scartaie.........Mda....

All in all e o serie frumoasa, interesanta si dulce. Cu siguranta nu-l recomand celor care nu au rabdare la povesti din astea.
Sfarsitul chiar mi s-a parut trist de tot ( si drept urmare vreau manga, luand in seama ca se continua povestea "after 3 years" ...).
