.hack//Tasogare no udewa densetsu (2003)
MEH is what I say!
I saw LOTT, hated it, then watched SIGN after a impulse buy, highly enjoyed it, then watched LOTT again, and enjoyed it more than I previously had. SIGN is by far better, even though I have only seen the first 5 episodes of it, and I'm disappointed to see that there is no page for it on IMDb, or maybe I haven't looked hard enough yet... Anyway, the thing I hate above all else on LOTT is the voice of Shugo. I cannot stand that voice after a while; it just infuriates me! Anyway, watch it, but don't expect perfection of it, unless you're a die-hard fan.

Sureiyâzu return (1996)
One of the funniest movies I have ever seen!
I have never watched any of the Slayers series, except for a few episodes in Italian off Youtube, but I knew that as soon as I saw those episodes, I needed more. So, I ordered the Movie Box set, and when it came in, I was very satisfied with that it gave to me. Slayers Return is a funny tale about two sorceresses, Lina Inverse and Naga the Serpent, who get on not too well, who are asked to rid a village from the grip of a group consisting of of not too many people... I won't spoil anything, but the twists in Slayers Return are unexpected, and would make anyone laugh. Especially the monster at the end...it was so random, LOL.
10 out of 10; watch this and the other four movies; I rate them in this order, from worst to best; 1,3,2,4,5. Enjoy!
Fable (2004)
Good fun, a must-have for RPG fans
I haven't really played games like Morrowwind (not even sure if that's how you spell it right), but upon purchasing this game and playing it, I was hooked immediately. Let's get to discussing it!
The good points:
: 1. Enemies don't stay just the same throughout the whole game, they vary, from Balverines to bandits to Trolls. 2. A good range of magic spells in the game, some of which require certain alignments to master (Summon, Drain Life, Turncoat, Heal Life, Physical Shield and Berserk). 3. Jack of Blades, I can say, is without doubt, the most evil thing I have ever seen, or can remember. The name Jack may sound a bit lame, but it really works on this game. 4. A good soundtrack, one that won't make people reach for the mute button every time a certain tune comes on. 5. A good collection of weapons, ranging away from just the sword, which is without doubt the most popular of the older weapons. 6. Character expressions are actually realistic.
THE BAD.
1. Allignment spells should be, on Lost Chapters, Infernal Wrath and Divine Fury. 2. On the original Fable, the Goodies do not get some ultimate weapon, like the original Sword of Aeons. Also, this game seems to give evil-doers the benefits of very strong weapons. (Sword of Aeons, Skorm's Bow). 3. Story is limited. 4. battles are far too easy. Resurrection Phials are only needed, for the newer players, in the Arena, if they are trying to do it the whole way without stopping. 5. If one starts off evil from the very beginning, a glitch may occur, where people, instead of fearing you, hate you instead, where they should actually alternate with a mix, mainly fear but. 6. marriage almost seems to mean nothing, it just... happens.
Don't let those last few points discourage you, try it out!
Sudeki (2004)
A fun and surprisingly addictive game
I was at first a little reluctant to buy the full game of Sudeki, as I was unsure as to whether I would enjoy it. However, after playing the demo, I saw a copy for less than 20 dollars, so I decided to take a chance, and I am glad I chose to do so. (Although I got cheated of an instruction booklet) Sudeki follows the adventures of 4 people (Tal, Ailish, Buki and Elco) and a 'quest', better described as a mission, to gain 4 crystals to power an invention that is to be used to defend the Brightside kingdom of Sudeki (the world is split into two halves, bright and dark). Recently, attacks by creatures from the Darkside, known as Aklonians, have made this invention a priority, thus the importance of the mission is increased. Throughout the game, we see the four characters growing closer to one another (most noticeably Tal and Ailish). We also see the god Tetsu visiting these four heroes (one at a time) in order to empower them and give them advise whenever they are in trouble or lack will to continue due to some obstacle or something of the sort. The game is not too short, yet not too long either, making a good middle-sized game with its share of side quests. I myself have not finished yet, as I am stuck on the final boss, Heigou, Tetsu's brother. A problem with the game is, as always, the camera can be an occasional nuisance, but more often than not, it positions itself fine. Another nuisance is that Mana (or Skill Points, as called by Sudeki) does not regenerate over time, but needs potions or augmentation abilities to recover (not 100% sure on augmentation abilities). This game would have gone very well with co-op play, but only has 1 player unfortunately. Similar to Final Fantasy in a way, I recommend this game to anyone who like Role Playing games, especially games like Final Fantasy or World of Warcraft.
8 out of 10 :D
Môsô dairinin (2004)
The strangest show I have ever seen, excellent regardless
Paranoia Agent, without doubt, is a good anime, but certainly not for everyone. It is a dark anime about a series of attacks carried out by a mysterious child known only as 'Lil Slugger', and the efforts of the detectives to find him/her. The show often takes different angles, away from the main characters, showing us what is happening with other characters on the show. There will be people, who after watching this, will be thinking 'WTF just happened?' after seeing some of the things this show contains. Towards the end the show becomes outrageously weird, Lil Slugger suddenly becoming more than 10 feet tall and Tsukiko's travels into an insanely weird environment, where everyone but him are 2-D characters. Throughout every episode, there is an old man, whose name was either never mentioned or I have forgotten it, but although he seems irrelevant, almost every episode ends up involving him in some main way, such as Episode 5: The Holy Warrior and later on, where he is referred to as The Old Master by a man called Mitsuhiro, who goes by the alias of Radar Man and fights with Lil Slugger from at least episode 11 (have not seen Disk 3) and is technically the one who solves the case of Lil Slugger.
Without giving anything else away, I recommend this highly to anyone who likes a 'Smart' anime/show, and a good mystery at that. 8.5 out of 10
Ghost Rider (2007)
A fun movie for people of all ages
When I first found out about this movie by accident, I wanted to see it because of its reputation. When I saw it just recently, I was not disappointed. I was not bored at one point throughout the movie. A friend of mine commented that it should have had better special effects, but I thought it was fine as it was. As usual with a superhero movie, it has a girl for which the main hero is in love with.
The story of Ghost Rider is about a young stunt rider called Johnny Blaze who, in exchange for his fathers help, makes a deal with the devil, allowing the devil to have his soul if he fulfills his end of the deal. However, although the devil does uphold his end, he also ensures the death of Barton Blaze in a stunt accident. Having fulfilled his end of the deal, and getting rid of Johnny's father to prevent distraction, the devil has Johnny seek out a powerful contract for him, giving him the power to become the 'Ghost Rider', a being who could pass for a human were it not for his head being a flaming skull. While searching for this contract, Ghost Rider must fight the son of the Devil, as well as a few demons.
One problem I had with the movie is that the enemies don't seem to last very long in fights, dying almost instantly, such as the Wind Demon. Put simply, fights resolve themselves too quickly.
Apart from that, it was very enjoyable, and I would recommend viewing it at least once.
