I didn’t watch Evangelion the Anime, and thus I went with no information and zero interest because I have no idea what Evangelion is actually about. The movie entertains right from the beginning, and I could understand most of the things that were inside even though I have no prior experience at watching Evangelion. From Wiki articles, I realized that this movie is actually more or less the same as the first few episodes of the anime on TV. Hence, Evangelion fans would probably be very familiar with everything.

The story begins with a boy named Shinji Ikari who is going to meet his father whom he has not seen for 3 years. An angle (the bad monster) attacks the city and Shinji is rescued by a pretty lady who turns out to be a colonel. Anyway, Shinji is asked to pilot the Eva Unit 01, which he refuses. When he sees the primary pilot Rei stuggling because of an old injury, he agrees to pilot the unit.

The story shows 3 battles between 3 angles, of which the last is super strong and is the bulk of the story and action. For more information, read wikipedia (link below).

There are a few questions which I had after I read the movie. There seems to be a pact with another company SEELE which was left unanswered (but anime fans will definitely know since its in the anime). Similarly, the last part shows this naked guy who wants to meet with Shinji. Reading Wiki allows me to understand that he is actually the last and 17th Angel who will eventually take over the piloting of one of the eva units. He will then allow Shinji to kill him.

Thus, the movie isn’t all that good because as a non-evangelion-anime-tv-fan, I get confused by many new things popping up here and there, but due to a lack of screen time, they went unanswered.

Anyway, the story ends with To Be Continued, so I would expect Evangelion: 2.0 to come out sooner or later, and I would have to watch it for completion’s sake.

I rate it 3/5 stars because of the questions I had, but it is a very entertaining show nonetheless.

The movie is in Japanese (duh!) and has English subtitles. Basically the movie is about dreams and a group of scientists have invented an object, the DC MINI, that allows you to enter people’s dreams and help them. At the start of the movie, Paprika helps a cop deal with his problems in his dreams.

The DC MINI is stolen and all hell breaks loose as dreams are merged. Who is the one who stole the DC MINI and creating all the chaos?

This movie is rated NC-16 due to the naked anime character scenes. No its not hentai. The scenes are very short and there is nothing much to see so perverts can save their money and don’t watch this movie. =)

This anime is not bad, but sometimes you get confused between dreams and reality. I think you are supposed to be confused because it is trying to show that the characters in the anime are confused too.

I rate this anime 3/5 stars. It is pretty interesting, just like The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. One jumps through dreams and reality the other jumps through time. =)

Hope everyone who watches this anime will enjoy it throughly as I do.

When 17-year-old Makoto Konno gains the ability to, quite literally, “leap” backwards through time, she immediately sets about improving her grades and preventing personal mishaps. However, she soon realises that changing the past isn’t as simple as it seems, and eventually, will have to rely on her new powers to shape the future of her and her friends.

I watched it yesterday night. I would say the standard belongs to those of Tokimeki Memorial: Only Love. The plot and excitement is not high enough to be considered near Bleach or GhostHunt, but the whole thing is not as lame as Kyo No Go No Ni or Shinigami No Ballad.

However its not the best Movie Anime (Movime) that I have watched. The best is Spirited Away followed by Howl’s Moving Castle and lastly it is The Girl who leapt through time.

Anyway I really enjoyed watching the movie especially hearing the Japanese words coming from their mouths. =) If you’ve got money to spare and loves Japanese like me, then go watch it. Cathay’s prices are 50cents lesser than GV and Shaw!

Got this image from Jiahao’s wordpress. Yes Jiahao introduced this to me via his blog and I went to watch it on youtube. Animenfo says there are 4 eps but I can only find 3 in youtube. Nevertheless, I have watched quite a substantial part of it and I noticed how this anime likes to make the guy seem to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Each episodes has a few parts, 5 actually, divided into “lessons” and they are 5 short stories which are somewhat lame but entertaining. I watched it on my way home yesterday and they entertained me. Though I feel if anyone was watching my back they probably would feel that it is some pervertic anime since the lead character, Ryota always seems to enter the nursing room when the girls are doing some hanky panky inside.

Kyo No Go No Ni is a funny and entertaining anime which only has 4 episodes. I rate it a 3/5.

Well I will be continuing to watch Tokimeki Memorial Only Love, 1 episode at a time slowly, just like Bleach, as the fansubs have not finished subbing the rest of the episodes..I’m now at 12, I think the anime is subbed till 16. Haha. Got 10 more episodes to sub!

Ghost Hunt is something recommended on Jiahao’s blog, so I thought I will try it. Shall utilize my Zen Vision. If not, buy for what? =)

Hope the anime’s will be nice to watch. At least can entertain abit ma. =)
