Street Fighter 2 - The Animated Movie Review
April 21st, 2008 by Nukem999 | 1 comments
Based off the legendary video game, the film follows Ryu, a wandering, simple martial artist who scowers the world in search of street fighting and his soul. Also scowering the world is M. Bison, leader of the maniacal terrorist organization called Shadowlaw, bent on dominating the world by brainwashing the best street fighters into loyal killing machines for Bison. Ken, Ryu's best friend becomes abducted by Bison, and it is Ryu's mission along with the likes of US military captain Guile, Interpol agent Chun Li, and a host of other street fighters to defeat Bison and Shadowlaw.
This was actually my very first expose to anime, I first came across this movie by buying it in my local video store for a cheap price. Needless to say after rewatching the movie on DVD, I'm quite happy this movie was my first exposure. Street Fighter the animated movie is a wickedly fun guilty pleasure for fans and newbies of the classic video game series and those who have never heard of it. Not every anime needs to electrify our brain cells and entice us with compelling complex storylines and philosophical life lessons. Street Fighter is a fighting anime movie and it does a damn good job of exploiting that point. The first thing you'll notice is the unremarkable masterpiece like quality of the animation. The explicitly detailed visual designs of the characters is incredibly exquisite, detailing water droplets from hair strands to even ankle bones in feet. Its hard to imagine what some would call "mindless entertainment" to house such top notch animation artwork.

Ghost Stories Review
March 25th, 2008 by Nukem999 | 0 comments
When you first hear about animes that have scripts changed so drastically by its dubbing company, you can't help but cringe a little and worry what butchery has come to this anime you've invested so much money in. I heard a lot about Ghost Stories, for its script change but mostly for its "supposed" hilarious humor. So how funny can a horror-changed-humor anime about ghouls and goblins be? Pretty damn funny actually.
