“Last Samurai Standing” takes us to the Meiji period, where an impoverished former samurai, Shujiro Saga (once the infamous hitokiri Kokushu) enters a lethal game called “Kodoku” (seven checkpoints on the road to Tokyo, with name tags taken from other contestants) to win the prize money that could save his ailing family. Comparisons to “Squid…
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,”…
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…
John Wick 4 “Friendship means little when it’s convenient” – Shimazu (John Wick 4) Wow, we’ve reached “John Wick 4″… someone might think “now it can only recycle old material, can’t be better than previous parts.” It turned out it can. “John Wick 4” is the best part so far! 🙂 Brother…
John Wick 3 “Si vis pacem, para bellum” – “If you want peace, prepare for war” (Latin saying… also Winston’s comment in the film “John Wick 3”) Ugh, brother John Wick really doesn’t have it easy. He killed Santino D’Antonio (Camorra), who after his sister’s death became a member of the “High Table” Council,…
Rurouni Kenshin Sanosuke Sagara (Zanza): [about Kenshin] “Give him a sword and he’s unstoppable, but give him a bail of rice and he’s just an ordinary guy.” I adore “Rurouni Kenshin” (Americanized as “Samurai X”). For me this is not only one of the best anime titles, but also a series in general. Of course,…
Samurai Champloo Simply, there are some series creators who are auteurs in the true sense of the word. They know how to make a good thing and that’s that. Shinichirō Watanabe is one of those people. If he wants to make a good anime, he has things he won’t give up on. It must deal…
Manga There’s a high probability that, if you belong to the millennial generation and younger (honor to older exceptions), you’re familiar with the term anime, i.e., Japanese animated series. There are divided opinions about them. Parents’ opinions are mostly that these series are mostly full of violence, perverted and often can’t connect why the heroes…
There are series and films you didn’t even know you wanted to watch and would have loved to see them even be made… until the moment they appear, and then you watch them with pleasure and say “how didn’t they think to do this earlier.” And so brilliant anthology series like “Love, Death and…
