Well this week I was able to catch up a little bit with Code Geas. I also unwittingly asked for the first volume of 0091. Code Geas is actually one of the best anime I have watched in a while that actually got me excited to see what was gonna happen next. I kind of dig a guy who relates all major world events to chess and creates some serious havoc in the process. I can’t wait to see how it ends even though I accidentally heard how it ends I kind of want to know how it gets to that point. I watched the first volume of 0091 which just seems like a adaptation of 007 James Bond with a cyberpunk twist. Not a terrible idea. It blends some pretty good animation with a seemingly simplistic art style. The character designs themselves don’t really pop and I have never really been to been a big fan of the over exaggerated features and big rounded noses that they have on the Russians. All the girls have lovely large breasts but they are so round that they loose any feeling of being real due to the fact that they seem like perfect circles. I am still not completely convinces that they aren’t drawings of the robotic women in the Austin Powers movies. It is a interesting throwback kind of style though and definitely has a hand drawn look to it with more frames per second than a standard anime but the style kind of ruins it for me. They do some clever things with the action and add some of the over the top things you would expect from a James Bond movie. So far this is just a first volume review so I will keep watching it and see if I can’t amerce myself a little better so maybe the art style won’t bug me so much. I also watched another series to it’s fullest last week but since we didn’t even record a beta for it yet I will just tell you the title and save my review for Fridays recording. I watched Shingetsutan Tsukihime which made no sense at first and slowly caused my brain a little less pain. Details will follow with our first real show. Any who that’s my blogging for now hope you guys like the show but if not I am sorry but I am far too lackadaisical to make too much improve mt in a big hurry. If it bothers you that much I put a good ol’ hate mail section so you can bash us and let everyone know how much you hate us. I said I was lazy not inconsiderate.
