So...finally a new game come to my xbox 360. Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days is my...damn, i lost count on my new game on 2010.

Unlike the first game, Dog Days is absolutely awesome. it's so intense and engaging, it have great story and i always like Kane and Lynch character. The first game failed to exploit these two unlikely heroes thanks to its broken gameplay. Thank goodness IO Interactive fixed almost everything from the first game. Too bad it's too short, but it still a great game i'll review it soon 9/10

*sigh* after 2 months waiting, this game can only give me fun for about 10 hours *sigh*

My Review for Haibane Renmei (Ailes Grises)

Finally, i finished Haibane Renmei, a 2002 anime series created based on Dojinshi manga by Yositoshi ABe (original character designer of Serial Experiment Lain). Here is my review.

Haibane Renmei or Ailes Grises (Grey Wings) is a unique drama anime. This 13 episodes anime tells a story about Haibane, Angel-like human (see their wings and halo on top of their head?) that live in a town called Guri. Haibane is a unique entity, they were human on their past, they selected randomly and then re-born as haibane. A federation called Haibane Renmei organize the live of haibane and set some rules for them.

The story focus on a new born haibane, Rakka. She's not an ordinary haibane, at first, it's not easy for her to accept her new identity as a haibane. She always questioning the reason of her existence and why she become a haibane. Although she's surrounded by nice, caring haibane and kind people, Rakka could not be happy. The story is beautifully crafted. I really like the mysterious atmosphere they build through this anime. It might have a quite slow pacing but it's not hard to enjoy the story.

The character design and animation, Yositoshi ABe's design is no doubt beautiful. I love his simplicity. I really love the design of Reki (the one smoke a cigarette). Other characters are beautifully designed too. Haibane Renmei is a bit lacking on animation but it still nice to watch.

The cast is doing a remarkable job for this anime. Each characters have a nice and fit seiyuu. Scores by Ko Otani is absolutely sweet and fit the mysterious and dark atmosphere of this anime. I really love the opening theme, 'Free Bird'

I'm highly recommend this great anime. Forget it's slow pacing and lack of animation, Haibane Renmei's strongest point is the dark, deep, and spectacular story. 10/10

that's all for now, thanks for reading and feel free to leave comment :D
