Noein: To Your Other Self

This was the weirdest anime I've ever seen....until it got to the second half then it became the smartest anime I've ever seen. This anime drops the science, like: The Multidimensional Theory, The Theory of Dimensional Flux, The Theory of Multidimensional Persistence and The Theory of Dimensional Collapse. None of that is required it enjoy Noein: To Your Other Self , but it does help to understand what's going on. Not to worry though Noein does try to explain this, but there is a lot of information and they go over it fairly quickly, so you be left a bit confused. The ending does not ronifibrate the situation, because Noein has a WTF ending. I had to watch it twice to get it. If after watching it twice you still don't understand PM me on Facebook an I'll try to explain it to you. ....Hmmmmmm, what else can I say about this without giving a plot summary. Nothing i guess, watch this anime, you'll definitely be smarter by the end.

2001: A Space Odyssey

If you clam to be an science fiction fan and you haven't seen this then you are no true fan, because this is the science fiction movie of an entire era of film. It's also one of the few movies adapted to a book that stays true to the source material in a way that is almost beautiful. That's right, in this case, the book came after the movie. The book was written by Arthur C. Clarke, and he also co-wrote the screenplay of 2001: a Space Odyssey along with Stanley Kuberick, who also Directed the movie. It's use of minimalist speech makes the most of the movie, shown instead of told to you. Because of this, the 160min run time feels longer. As I typed earlier, the story relies on visuals to tell the story, well the music helps in that as well, don't believe me? Check out the opening for your self. Despite this being 34 years old, it still retains the magic it did then.  ....Well what else can I say that hasn't already been said, watch this movie.

Video Too?

For some reason, I have no trouble talking about my most personal issues when I post under the name R.K. But when I try to talk to people face to face I can't be honest with them and I don't know why. It seems like it's a mental block, or is it all the years of lying that I went through and I also feel more confident if people know me as R.K. 

The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Ho boy, is this going to be a long one. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was originally part of seven stories, that where about seven different ways the world would end, that was aired on the radio. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe was inspired by a song by the name of "Grand Hotel" that was made by by the British rock band Procol Harum. Life, the Universe and Everything was originally proposed to BBC for a six-part story called Doctor Who and the Krikketmen, part of the Tom Baker Doctor Who. It was, of course, rejected. So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish, while gentler in its humor, reflects Adams' change in opinion on computers. Mostly Harmless was described on the first edition covers as "The fifth book in the increasingly inaccurately named Hitchhikers Trilogy". Young Zaphod Plays it Safe was never released as a standalone book. There, now i can get to telling you about the books. The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been parodied and referenced by more books, movies, songs, TV Shows, and plays than I have patience to type out here, so widely known is this story. I promise you if have even an ounce of humor in you, you will like this book. Not for it's coherent story narrative, but for all the jokes and social commentary, but if you hate Atheists with a passion you will hate this book because Adams is an Atheist and some of the jokes are directed at the idea of a god, but fear not Bible beaters he makes just as many jokes at the scientific theory too. Witch brings me to the story. It is a tangled mess of a narrative, Adams writing style is to jump around in time without telling you so, especially in the later books. He tends to have manny a sidebar for some humor, and will, without fail, stop the story to explain something in the story, but I have never laughed harder at a book. Read this book as required reading, your master commands it, in the name of 42.

Monty Python's Flying Circus

Are you unaware of this show, if so.....SHAME, FOR SHAME......you dolt. You are missing out on some of the best comedy in the world. M.P.F.S. still makes me laugh to this day. The video may be dated, but the jokes are not. That's why I'm reviewing this, the jokes are well written. Airing on the BBC between 1969-1974 the proud cast of Monty Python's Flying Circus was a group of 5 british born and one american born sketch comedy artists with a brand of comedy so unique that a word was born to describe it: "Pythonesque". This word went on to describe all related works that borrowed from the M.P.F.C. stile. That's not to say that it didn't borrow either, they to borrowed from a show called Q5. The cast went on to make four movies, one of witch is Monty Python and the Holy Grail, witch you may have heard of. ( T_T ) Appearances by the troupe have been scarce since the death of Graham Chapman in 1989, but the surviving members (Eric Idle, Tarry Gilliam, Terry Jones, John Cleese, Michael Palin) are slated to reunite to make another film, Absolutely Anything. It might be hard to find, but M.P.F.C. is worth a look.

Elfen Lied

...............If you don't feel anything by the end of this story, you are a complete monster. ..........I'm finding it hard to type this, sorry. If I meander around....It's because of Elfen Lied. This story......some stories make you happy, some make you sad, and then there is Elfen Lied, witch is.......despair, not because it's bad, but it's good, really good. I would almost call this character torture that is how I feel about this. There is so much nudity that it stops being gratuitous and you stop being affected by it. Elfen Lied is rated NC-17 for the crap that goes that goes on in here. It is a story of loss and grief. Ones is enough to get this.....pain that I feel toured this....this..... I can't even describe how this makes me feel, it's like anger mixed with sadness. This manga is not shy about the violence that goes on. Give it a try, but if you can't get through it, I'll understand. Also sorry for the short review, but.....I can't.

Katawa Shoujo

All of my feels...... This. Game. Made. Me. Cry. Openly! I'm not afraid to admit that, this game made me cry. I'm not talking about manly tears either. I had to stop playing, get up, and go have my cry before coming back to play. That's how well written this is. I know most of you have heard that this is a porn game, it is not! The sex is there, but is not the ultimate objective. When sex happens the game doesn't just stop, it continues on and deals with it, sometimes happily, sometimes angrily. Enough about intercorse, on to the game. Katawa Shoujo when translated to English means "Cripple Girl". While I will admit that is the worst tittle for a game, the katawa can also be translated to "disability" and the Shoujo can also be translated to "with girl", so the tittle can also be read as "Disability With Girl", or to make it more grammatically correct and to fit within the context of the game can be read as "Girls With Disabilities". Katawa Shoujo only refers to the girls at the start of the game not a at the end, in my opinion, because by the end they've come to grips with it along with you the PC (Player Character) about being katawa. Thats right the main character, you, is also katawa, recently so. The girls that Hisao (the PC) dates are not fragile dolls to be protected, they are strong people. So much so that it would not be an exaggeration to say that they help Hisao out more than he helps them, and if you treat them that way you will get a bad end or game over. These are characters written to be real people, so well written in fact that when I finished the game with the first girl and restarted the game aiming for another one, I felt guilty about it! This game is free, give it a try, you'll lose, if you don't like it, some time and if you do you might gain something more.
