Tekkinkonkreet (Reinforced Concrete)

Tekkinkonkreet is a fantastic look at the struggle of two young orphans and the ambitions of  the people who live in the fictional town Treasure City. White and Black are homeless and dream of one day leaving the citie's hard life  for a better place but when local gangs threaten to take over the town and destroy the two boy's livelihood. Black and White fight back. The fued with the gangs escalates and White is forced to leave Black's side. This leaves Black with no choice to revert to a very dark and sinister part of himself.

Tekkinkonkreet is full of action, humor, violence, and tragedy. It depicts how ambition can consume a people and leave them with only darkness and death. Although its not all depressing, White is a dreamer who is very funny and almost constantly oblivious to whats happening around him. His good nature and strong bond with Black is eventually what saves the town from total destruction.

Check it out, its a great Anime!

THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY "The Borrowers?"

When I fist saw the Disney movie preview for THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY  I thought the story line looked familiar. Turns out Studio Ghibli teamed up with Disney to produce this anime fairytail  and based it on the 1959 novel "The Borrowers".

The previews looks great. It's a must see for Studio Ghibli fans.

P.s.
Don't roll your eye's If that sort of anime is not your style; Just be glad they didn't decide to redo "The Littles".

Lets Go Bub!

I recently have been watching the anime series Wolverine on G4TV. The really made an excellent story line. Although the story isn't quite true to the Wolverine comic book series there are many similarities . The setting is in Madripor just link in the old comic books. Wolverine is back in japan with a few old acquaintances like his beloved Mariko Yashida, Yukio and Jessica Drew (Spider Woman), Omega Red, as well as few cameos appearances from the  X-men.

Storyline:

"Logan learns that his girlfriend Mariko Yashida (who disappeared a year ago) has been taken to Tokyo by her father Shingen (who is the head of the Japanese crime syndicate Kuzuryu and a supplier of A.I.M.) in order to be wed to Hideki Kurohagi. Wolverine goes on a quest to rescue Mariko and defeat Shingen and Hideki while encountering some opponents along the way."

 G.I. Joe Resolute appeared on Adult Swim in 2009 as a promotion for Hasbro.
It definitely has that Anime touch with a bit of  bloody fights that will keep you interested.
Warren Ellis (director) makes a successful attempt to mix the comic and cartoon series into a action packed movie.

Cobra Commander is up to his old tricks again in G.I. Joe Resolute. I seems that the criminal organization known as Cobra has developed a way to send super charged particles through the atmosphere destroying anything and every thing Cobra Commander wishes. Of course what G.I. Joe Movie would be complete without an exciting ninja showdown between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow.



So if your wondering "How could I have missed this awesome animated movie".
Just thank Jump 84 for giving you the low down on G.I. Joe Res.
