Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
I must be lagging, since I only came to know about this piece of news at Canned Dogs almost 2 weeks after the post was up. When I read the title of the post, I wanted to rejoice over news of the movie. After all, I loved the anime.
Then I continued on to read the content. Instantly, a “WTF?!” slipped out. I sense eminent failure straight ahead, and for that, I shall weep buckets of Kaiji tears.
No kidding me. Fujiwara Tatsuya, also commonly known as Light, as Kaiji. Why, oh WHY?!?!
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.

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.
