How's it going? I originally created my Blogger account 2 summers
ago. During that time, Xanga 1.0 was shutting down and re-launching as
2.0 on WordPress. Within these last 2 years, I have dabbled with many
blogging communities and sites. Since last November, I
have been revising and archiving my old Xanga 1.0 and Blogster entries
on JournalHome.com. I currently have only 12 more blogs to revise and
archive. After I'm done revising and archiving, I will leave Blogster
next month. If you would like to read most of my older Xanga and
Blogster entries, I encourage you to visit my archives page on
JournalHome. http://www.journalhome.com/RealistMe/archive/ The majority of my blogs are on my website, It's Not All Gumdrops & Unicorns. http://itsnotallgumdropsandunicorns.webs.com/ When you have the chance, please let me know what you think!
How's it going my gumdrops? Last week, I checked Adult Swim's schedule. The network is
re-airing Deadman Wonderland of all the Horror Anime in existence. At the moment, I'm not watching anything on Adult Swim's Saturday night programming.
As usual, most of their shows are tired, if not shitty acquisitions, that I don't want to watch.
Speaking of Horror, I have more Horror today. Last year, I gave my Horror Anime Review and Another was on the list.
Another Anime In A Nutshell:
In case you missed my review, here is a summary of Another. Once
again, Another is a Seinen Horror-Mystery Anime based on the Japanese
novel, Another.
It begins with an explanation about
Koichi Sasakibara. He is a 15-year-old junior high student. His mother
died shortly after he was born and his father is a business man.
Koichi's
father traveled abroad to India for a year. This leads to Koichi being
sent to live with his aunt and grandparents in Yomiyama, Japan.
Yomiyama
is a small Japanese town where his dead mother grew up. In the process
of him moving to Yomiyama, he acquires pneumothorax (basically a
collapsed lung).
Koichi's pneumothorax delays him
from transferring to his new school and causes him to be hospitalized.
Suddenly, he meets this strange girl with an eye patch named, Mei
Misaki.
After meeting Mei, Koichi's curious yet
strange "classroom representatives" from his new school visit him in the
hospital. This is shortly before his 1st day of school.
Koichi's
classmates want to learn more about his background. Once Koichi is
finally released from the hospital, he starts getting suspicious vibes
from his classmates.
Mei is sometimes visible in his
classroom. Everyone except Koichi pretends, that she does NOT exist.
Their classroom at Yomiyama North Middle School has been cursed, since
1972.
They must follow certain rules around the
campus, in order to avoid dying brutal deaths. Those same rules backfire
on everybody both inside and outside Koichi's classroom.
Another
has some brutal death tolls. Some Anime critics claim, that Another is
similar to the movie, Final Destination. I've never watched Final
Destination. Therefore, I can't support their claims.
If
you like creepy dolls, curses, ghosts, death tolls, and Horror-Mystery,
you should give Another a watch. It not only has a novel and an Anime,
but also a live-action J-Horror Movie and Manga. Anyway, here is Another
for Cartoon Sunday.
