Mesto za one koji su u potrazi za dobrom kafom, knjigom, filmom, serijom, anime i energijom
Gintama “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” – Gintoki You know however much I love (anime) series, when you’re older, you simply don’t have that much free time to watch epics of several hundred episodes. So far I managed to pull this off with “Naruto + Naruto Shippuden,”…
The Book of Five Rings “If you wish to control others, you must first control yourself” – Miyamoto Musashi Some books are truly very universal and specific. They change their meaning and reveal new horizons to us as we mature. “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius, “The Art of War” by Sun Tzu, “Tao Te Ching,”…
Hellsing Ultimate “The Bird of the Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me tame” – Alucard Let me tell you right away at the beginning, I think there’s no need to watch original “Hellsing,” because “Hellsing Ultimate” will cover original too, and moreover is more faithful adaptation of eponymous manga compared…
You Only Live Twice Tiger Tanaka: My friend, now you take your first civilized bath. James Bond: Really? [Bond is surrounded by four young Japanese women wearing only white bras and panties] James Bond: Oh, I like the plumbing. Tiger Tanaka: Place yourself entirely in their hands, my dear Bond-san. Rule number one: is never…
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off “Let’s party!” – Lucas Lee Thirteen years have passed since the quirky “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” appeared in cinemas and (in principle) delighted a large number of viewers, and many still call it a small masterpiece. And then someone got the idea to make an animated version of Scott…
Battle Royale “A student is not a mandarin” – Kinpachi Sakamoto There’s a probability one part of people aren’t familiar with the term battle royale. For many today this term is probably known because of video games like “PUBG,” “Fortnite” or “Apex Legends.” For some it’s probably known because of the eponymous cult Japanese…
Yu Yu Hakusho (Netflix) Hmmm… I must admit I didn’t know how to start reviewing the live action adaptation of the classic “Yu Yu Hakusho,” which we’ll call “Yu Yu Hakusho (Netflix)” or “YYH(N)” for review purposes. The anime version (like manga) has respect and a solid army of fans who are lovers of this…
Yu Yu Hakusho There are some series that are simply good because they’re good, but you couldn’t explain why they’re good… in fact, you probably would know, but you simply don’t see the need. They don’t have to be classics (but most often they are), but you simply shrug and say they have “that” something.”…
Blue Eye Samurai What happens when you combine titles like “Yentl,” “Kill Bill,” “John Wick,” “Game of Thrones,” “Mulan” and “The Witcher,” John Woo and Tarantino, and wrap it in the wafer of medieval Japan and phenomenal animation? You get a real juicy cake with a base of cookies, chocolate and vanilla filling into which…
Katanagatari There are some series that are truly specific in every respect, and because of that draw you into their world. One such series is “Katanagatari” (or in translation “Sword Story” or “Tale of Swords”). Meet an unusual duo wandering Japan somewhere during the Edo period (1603-1868). Togame is a self-proclaimed “Strategist,” one eccentric and…
