Desert Punk Review
March 28th, 2008 by Nukem999 | 0 comments
One of the hardest types of anime I find are ones about anti-heroes, about bad guys as stars opposed to the good guys. I've only come across 2 shows that have used this idea in my lifetime of anime watching and despite the fact selling (or writing for that matter) a good anti-hero show is insanely difficult, Punk has everything you thought would be in it, and everything you never thought would be in it.
In the great Kanto desert, death and despair are the only things to look forward to in this war torn, criminal ridden landscape. Survival comes to those desperate enough to stab each other in the back for it, and treachery and thievery are the only profitable jobs around. Enter Desert Punk, a greedy, smart mouthed, boob crazy little jack ass whose God like gun skills have earned him the title "Demon of the desert". It's life through the sand stained eyes of Punk as he battles crazed mercenaries, handles insanely dangerous jobs, and does every dirty deed in the book all to make a cheap buck.

Blood: The Last Vampire Review
March 25th, 2008 by El Wiseguy | 8 comments
The opening scene is in a subway car with a young lady who doesn't seem any different than any other young lady; dark hair, dark eyes, and a heavy jacket. The only difference here is that this girl really isn't a normal girl, she's Saya, a mysterious young lady who's the last remaining "original".
Saya can pull off a mean mug with the best of them, it looks as though if she tried to smile it would be painful. She's rather small in frame but carries a big stick, a really sharp one called a Katana. For these reasons alone I wouldn't ever want to mess with her or even be caught in a dark alley alone while she's in a bad mood.

King of Bandit Jing - Series Review
March 16th, 2008 by Nukem999 | 0 comments
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.
