Ok, well here is another blog about an Anime that I just watched, and just so that no one gets confused this is on the movie and not the tv series. I think that many of you have actually already either seen it or heard about it, but for those of you that haven't I'm going to d a little (it might not be so little, we'll see :P ) blog about it. Here goes.
Read or Die is about an organization that is in the UK (United Kingdom) and they fight various book-related criminals. There is a thread in the world (figures :P ), some one si after a book of maniscripts writen by Bethoven (spelling?). The main character of the anime is called Yomiko Readman (I guess that the last name goes with the story)Code Name Agent Paperand she is part of this organization. Her power is that she can make anything aout of paper and she can make it into weapons and all this cool stuff. She is obssesed iwht books, and I don't mean like she just likes to read a lot, she littetary lives surounded by them. There is more book on her room than anything else, and she totally goes nuts when she is surrounded by them.
The next person on the team is calledNancy MakuhariCodeNameMiss Deepand she is this gorgeous girl that has the ability of going through solid objects. So she is like the perfect spy, but there is a weakness to her ability. She can't breath while she is using the ability, so she can't stay between object for to long or she might suficate (spelling?). She seams like this totally perfect girl, but the truth is that she is far from perfect...
The next member is a guy (while I was watching the movie I was kind of hoping for an "all girls team" but I guess that it wasn't meant to be LOL :P) and his name is Drake Anderson and faciating enough, he has no code name. He is a veteran of American special forces and he works for this organitation as a merc. He doesn't have any super powers (I was shocked at this) but never the less, he is streamly strong and a highly skilled soldier.
Well, she is called to stop this organitaion called "I-Jin" (don't ask me what it means) because really important people form the past are alive and going around trying to get that book that I talked about earlier. There is difrent people in this group but they all answer to a guy named Ikkyu Sojun who used to be some sort of poet. I'm not going to get into to much detail because to tell you the truth I didn't get the whole thing. Specially why they where after books, and why the whole organitation is concentraded on retreaving rare books. Unless they give special powers (which I don't think they do) I don't get why they do that. So if some one that already saw it would be kind enough to enlighten me, that would be great.
Anyways, I really liked this Anime (even if I didn't understand some of it) and I thin I can see why many people also liked it. The art was great, I don't know who did that but they did a great job.
On other anime news, I looked up Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society and since it wasn't out yet and it was going to take foe ever for netflix to get it, I decided to preorder it on Amazon.com that way I would have a copy of my own (I like to collect GITS stuff) and the best thing is that I got the limited edition dvd set. :D If any of you want to get one, I suggest that you go to Amazon, the great thing is that is that if the pricechanges between the time that you order and the time that it's released if the price drops, you get the cheaper of the 2.I also got the one day shiping so that I can see it as soon as possible. :D
I also just saw Kite, it was supose to be this great Anime and all that. But to tell you the thruth, I didn't see that much in it. It was 45 minutes long and there wasn't that much of action or stuff like that. I was really disapointed in that Anime. But i guess that that's how it is, some is good and some is crap.
On other news, I started to work full time now at my job and it's really great. I don't have any benifits yet because I'm still an intern but I get my 40 hours a week and that's all that I care about at the moment. I just have to wait until I get my raise and then I will really be happy. :D
And today I got the most interesting idea. I got 2 scholarships for my future university. One is for $2,000.00 dollars and i can use that on anything that I want as long as it's for school, which means that a laptop would fall in that category :twisted:. I already have a laptop, but I was thinking of getting a Mac Book Pro. I know that thay are more than $2,000.00 dollars, BUT the students get discounts on computers all that, so I think that I'm going to buy a Mac Book Pro as soon as I'm sure that I can use that money for a laptop. :D But I'm trying not to get my hope to high because then it's going to feel really bad when I'm forced to use it for book as stuff like that. :( :cry:
Eitherway, lately I have started to make really long blogs and I'm sorry for those of you that read all the of it. But i really enjoy writing this much. Thanks for reading.
