Not the whole series, but just episode 7. The 20 odd minutes revolve around some loser violinist who hires Golgo13 not to kill his rival, but instead, to snipe the G string of his violin so as to embarrass him during his solo. And to think he’s paying big bucks for such a act. What a buffoon.
Anyway, the G string was sniped because the tune played was Air on the G String. I’m totally not knowledgeable regarding anything related to classical music, and have totally zero musical background. Still, I think understand the bare basics of appreciate a good piece of music.

Somehow, I stumbled upon High School Of The Dead, and I was glad that I did. I’ve always been looking for manga or anime that has a storyline flowing along the lines of the zombie outbreak ever since I became a fan of zombie flicks a couple of years ago, but I never seemed to be able to find any. Somehow, High School Of The Dead slipped under my radar until a couple of days ago, when I read it by sheer random luck.

I was looking through Tokyopop’s website, searching for the details and release date of Battle Royale Ultimate Volume 2, when I noticed something ironic.

Recently, I rediscovered how GAR Shinji is. If the Shinji that came to your mind is Ikari Shinji from Evangelion, you are sadly mistaken. He’s the wimpy Shinji. The GAR Shinji I mention is Mimura Shinji from Battle Royale. I’m pretty sure the BR Shinji must be ashamed to have the same name another wuss has.
Although a male post image header is a taboo, there’s no other choice in this case.

I’m sure everyone who reads this blog has had a dream that is somewhat related to Anime/Manga, or some aspects of Otaku Culture, at least once. Especially since we probably all think, sleep, eat and drink anime. It could be some ecchi dream with all the hawt anime girls flocking around you to your heart’s desire. It could you be piloting this ultra cool transformable mecha, out to save the world. It could even be something more realistic, like having your dream otaku room.
Everyone dreams, but not all dreams are recalled upon awaking from slumberland.
I probably dream anime/manga and whatnot every time I sleep, but I cannot really recall much of the dreams related to this topic, if there are that many. One dream, however, was rather unique that I actually remembered it. The whole dream felt so realistic and actually sent a chill down my spine when I woke up. There were neither moe characters nor leet mechas present in my subconscious mind during that dream.

I have been a fan of Battle Royale ever since I first watched the movie last year. I was amazed at the theme of the movie. It’s not everyday when you get to see a plot that revolves around 15 year olds killing their very own classmates. I went on to read the novel and the manga. Both were equally awesome in their own way. Especially the manga, which I have already reread countless times. And so, when Tokyopop came out with the Battle Royale Ultimate Edition, I was tempted to get it. And I did. The extras seemed promising, especially the commentary. Tokyopop was trying to milk BR fans, and they managed to milk my cash successfully.
Ultimate Edition MY ASS!!!

A brief introduction of Battle Royale :
“At the dawn of the millennium, the nation collapsed. At fifteen percent unemployment, ten million were out of work. 800,000 students boycotted school. The adults lost confidence, and fearing the youth, eventually passed the Millennium Educational Reform Act - AKA: The BR Act…”
Basically,it’s about this class of 42 17-year-olds who have been sent to a deserted island to kill each other till there’s only one left standing.Each of them is given a random weapon as an aid to help them complete the game’s objective.
