On May 9, the Kyoto Prefectural Police’s High-Tech Crime Task Force arrested three individuals on suspicion of illegally distributing anime video footage with the peer-to-peer program Share. These arrests mark the first time Japanese police have arrest anime uploaders using the Share network. While downloading copyrighted material for personal use is legal in Japan, uploading copyrighted material to the internet without authorization is a criminal offense.

Reportedly the three individuals arrested are well known suppliers of new anime episodes which international fan translators use to create fansubs. It remains to be seen if these arrests will discourage Japanese Share users from uploading anime, or if these arrests will decrease the amount of new anime available to international fansubbers.

My brother always tells me I have a problem only picking OVA animes when I buy them. There almost always way too short and they lack the fan power most long running series has. I enjoy OVA because of the rich characters they feature without dragging them on for 200 episodes, that being said, does Dragon half an only 2 episode anime OVA even stand a chance of being good?

Life is never easy for anyone, except for Mink its much, much worse, see she happens to be a Dragon half: half human half dragon, and its because of her dragon half that Mink gets into so much trouble. Mink's in love with the number one world pop singer, and dragon slayer, Dick Saucer. Unfortunately, because of her dragon nature, Mink fears he will never love her because it is Dick's job to slay dragons. So Mink and her friends go out on a journey to find a magical people potion to make her pure human. Only problem is, Mink's rival Princess Vina, her father the King and a slew of other crazy bad guys will do anything they can to stop and kill her before she finds the potion.

After patiently waiting a long freaking time for ADV to get their butts in gear and releasing the last animated form of Jing out on English dubbed DVD, I have to say for the story's sake anyway, it was well worth the wait.

Jing and Kir are finally captured and locked up in a strange, super strong Alcatraz style prison known as "Seventh heaven". Inside prison, Jing is searching for a magical dream thief called Compari and hopes to steal his rare "dream orbs". But when Jing meets up with Compari, he learns the truth to his secret magics and more about himself then he'll ever know.

When I first heard of "King of Bandit Jing", I was curious about it due to the fact I saw it through giant promotional colored posters hanging around at the convention, Anime Central in Chicago, IL. When I finally laid my hands upon this exotic series, I had some assumptions about the show and thye were quickly dashed away when I got to see what a unique experience this anime really is first hand.

Jing is our lead, a young teenaged boy who happens to be known as the infamous "bandit king", a bandit so legendary and death defying, he could steal the stars from the sky or time itself according to rumors. He is accompanied by Kir, a wise cracking, smart mouthed, girl chasing bird who can speak perfect English and one other "special" ability. Together, Jing and Kir travel the weird world they live in, changing people's lives, battling bizarre creatures and criminals, and unearthing the greatest treasures of the world.
