Shikabane Hime Review Shikabane Hime Review Needless to say, this series caught my interest, too. However, before I go any further, I gotta talk about an issue I have with the American release. Not because of the dub or anything, we’ll get to that in a little while, but because of the official release title “Corpse Princess”. It’s a direct translation of the original Japanese title, but there’s really no need for it. The characters classified as Shikabane Hime are referred to as such, and nobody uses the term “Corpse Princess” even once. Plus, there is no speck of royalty in any character, so really, this move was pointless. It’s like if they called Buso Renkin “Alchemic Arms”, but still used the Japanese title to refer to the weapons. Whoever let that motion pass should’ve been whacked on the head with a newspaper like a dog and told to stand in the corner to think about what he’s done, because he’s been a very bad boy. So, this cheap knockoff of Bleach focuses on young Ouri Kagami. He claims to be fascinated with the concept of death. Why? Because a cat told him. Just go with it, anime can get away with that, I guess. He ends up getting involved in the affairs of Makina Hoshimura, a Shikabane Hime under contract to fight alongside his adopted brother, a monk named Keisei Tagami. She fights monsters called Shikabane, the dead who have revived because of their regrets and turned to grotesque form. If she kills 108 of them, she can get into heaven, but that isn’t her primary concern. She’s more interested in enacting revenge for the massacre of herself and her family by the hand of the Seven Stars, a group of high-level Shikabane who claim to act on nature alone. (coughlazycoughwritingcough) So, yea. If this were a drinking game, take a shot at any aspect that resembles Yu Yu Hakusho or Bleach. Much like my Black Butler review, there are just a handful of concepts and elements that have just been seen before, to the point of being dated. But also like that review, this show managed to suck me in for what it is. The animation is really good; particularly for the action scenes, which are fast-paced, and almost looks a little sloppy at times, but that’s Gainax, the group behind Gurren Lagann and FLCL, for ya. They’re allowed to have that by now, because they make shows that are weird, but beloved. Watching gun or sword-toting girls fight monsters is cool as long as it can look good, and boy do they make it look good. Also, the coloring of characters is dulled, the sunset looks nice and the shading is intensified, especially at night. It really sets the overall mood well. Okay, the characters: Ouri…is about as bland, dumb and obnoxious as they get. Why is this show trying to convince us that he’s the main character? He really has absolutely no relation to what’s going on, and they have to tell him that constantly. Whenever he enters the fray, it’s usually because either that damn cat told him to, he happened to beat the wrong place at the wrong time, or because of stupid curiosity. He’s a lot like Tidus from Final Fantasy X, with the only difference being when he talks, he sounds like he’s barely awake. Luckily, there’s no forced laugh scene. There’s a forced crying scene from him, though not quite as horrendous. Keisei is much better. As far as his relationship with Ouri goes, he is, for lack of a better word, a typical big brother. He bullies him by pushing his fascination with chibi mowe fanservice anime on him,(it’s anime)and gets on the little bugger’s nerves, but he really will defend him no matter the cost. In fact, backstory will show he was like a big brother to Makina as well. When he gets serious, we can really tell he’ll do whatever it takes to make sure the two are defended. Good brother. Also, as a high-ranking figure, of course he’s going to have a handful of tricks up his sleeve (I kinda feel like most of it is stuff the writers pulled out of their asses to give the good guys a victory, but whatever) and it certainly makes his side of the fights interesting. And now, Makina, who I’ve gotta give a yin-yang retrospective on. First off, she seems badass enough. An undead girl who fights with high-flying jumps, double machine guns and hard- hitting kicks, n’ combat moves? How awesome is that?! When she gets fighting, she can really send the bad guys packing. When you’ve got good animation to back it up, it’s pretty impressive. The counterbalance to it: She’s kind of a pushover. Most of the time, when she gets in battle, she gets smacked around, tossed, twirled, and even dismembered once or twice. Sometimes she’ll talk a mighty game only to fail up to five times before getting it right. It’s almost like Vegeta’s constant boasting about his power boost after getting the shit kicked out of him relentlessly to make it happen. However, one can sympathize with her when they learn why she does what she does, and what motivates her actions. They frequently say she’s dead and inhuman, but she proves quite opposite a number of times. Unfortunately, that ends up becoming a massive weakness. Obviously, when against the Seven Stars, she doesn’t think about her actions rationally, which of course, results in her getting the crap kicked out of her. Also, without spoiling too much, I’ll say one important character ends up getting the shaft at the end of the first half, and that results in her needing to reconsider her options. One trial she needs to do is learn to let go…and she ends up failing that miserably. It adds to the sympathy factor, yes, but when you welcome adversity into your personality, you are voluntarily making yourself cannon fodder, to other good guys, no less. She’s badass, but weak as hell. What can I say? “Dammit! I bet 20 bucks that this shit wouldn’t happen!” I also like most of the side characters. Many of them are underplayed, but when we’re given the hint that they might be pivotal to the action element, we’re curious to see what they can do. Some Shikabane Hime and Monks fight with swords, hand-to-hand, archery, claws or even a BFH (Big Fuckin’ Hammer), and that proves for some interesting innovation in fighting ability. My favorite of which is a fisticuff-attuned SH named Minai, who wields massive gauntlets and deals super-powerful punches, and normally wears a motorcycle outfit (and is even shown riding one), but is also incredibly nice and demure. We don’t normally see that kind of combination, it really is a contrast that turns out relatively well. Unfortunately, she gets killed off around the end of the show’s first third, for a SHITTY reason that fucking Tidus caused, but the last episode is also dedicated to her backstory, so that’s something. “I like to kick ass, but I also enjoy unicorns and long walks on the beach.” Okay, now for one more element that pretty much every anime has decided it’s going to have, but for this one, proves rather unsuccessful: Fanservice. For the most part it’s pretty much glanced over. I mean, there are about seven girls in the show who possess large breasts, and there are magazines and figurines of it from time to time, and even a bath scene. If you want to have that, fine. It’s not going to really affect the show, and it won’t be an issue. But it tries to be obnoxious sometimes, and executes it the entirely wrong way. Like one scene where Ouri is talking to one classmate (one of the seven that I mentioned), but also juggles listening to that fucking cat…again…So he tries to reach for it as it appears on her shoulders, and where should his hands land…but right on her tits. … I am not making this up. That actually happens. …No. No, no, no no, nonono, no, no, no, no, no, no…NO! You do NOT get to do that. You just do NOT! Somebody needs to find the guys who wrote and storyboarded this scene, bitch slap them across the face and say “NO! NO! BAD Writers! BAD!” You can’t just…Shit like this don’t fly in the west! There’s making your character accident-prone, and then there’s jumping, no, pole-vaulting the shark just for a gag you want to see. This kind of crap doesn’t just happen on accident, you know. “Yes, that is a nice cooch, but I was only trying to swat a bee.” Okay, now that I got that off my chest, (Don’t even think about it) time for the Dub or Sub part. Go for the Japanese version if you want, I won’t suggest one over the other, but the dub version works well enough for its audience. I will say that I love Luci Christian in just about any role she does, and hearing her as the subtle, vengeful and angry Makina is definitely a twist I love hearing apart from the high-pitched, cheerful and cutesy roles I’m used to.

  • Models of Time Travel
    MODELS OF TIME TRAVEL A COMPARATIVE STUDY USING FILMS Guy Roland Micklethwait A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The Australian National University July 2012 National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science ANU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences APPENDIX I: FILMS REVIEWED Each of the following film reviews has been reduced to two pages. The first page of each of each review is objective; it includes factual information about the film and a synopsis not of the plot, but of how temporal phenomena were treated in the plot. The second page of the review is subjective; it includes the genre where I placed the film, my general comments and then a brief discussion about which model of time I felt was being used and why. It finishes with a diagrammatic representation of the timeline used in the film. Note that if a film has only one diagram, it is because the different journeys are using the same model of time in the same way. Sometimes several journeys are made. The present moment on any timeline is always taken at the start point of the first time travel journey, which is placed at the origin of the graph. The blue lines with arrows show where the time traveller’s trip began and ended. They can also be used to show how information is transmitted from one point on the timeline to another. When choosing a model of time for a particular film, I am not looking at what happened in the plot, but rather the type of timeline used in the film to describe the possible outcomes, as opposed to what happened.

  • Piracy Or Productivity: Unlawful Practices in Anime Fansubbing

In the United States this growth has been based on copyright infringement, where fans have subtitled anime series and released them as fansubs. In the absence of official releases fansubs have created the current popularity of anime, which companies can now benefit from. From the beginning the companies have tolerated and even encouraged the fan activity, partly because the fans have followed their own rules, intended to stop the distribution of fansubs after official licensing. The work explores the history and current situation of fansubs, and seeks to explain how these practices adopted by fans have arisen, why both fans and companies accept them and act according to them, and whether the situation is sustainable. Keywords: Japanese animation, anime, fansub, copyright, piracy Tiivistelmä Piratismia vai tuottavuutta: laittomat toimintatavat animen fanikäännöksissä Japanilaisen animaation eli animen suosio maailmalla on lyhyessä ajassa kasvanut räjähdysmäisesti. Tämä kasvu on Yhdysvalloissa perustunut tekijänoikeuksien rikkomiseen, missä fanit ovat tekstittäneet animesarjoja itse ja julkaisseet ne fanikäännöksinä. Virallisten julkaisujen puutteessa fanikäännökset ovat luoneet animen nykyisen suosion, jota yhtiöt voivat nyt hyödyntää. Yhtiöt ovat alusta asti sietäneet ja jopa kannustaneet fanien toimia, osaksi koska fanit ovat noudattaneet omia sääntöjään, joiden on tarkoitus estää fanikäännösten levitys virallisen lisensoinnin jälkeen.

    UNIT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 1 UNIT 1 - DIGITAL INFORMATION UNIT OVERVIEW Students explore the way computers store and represent complex information like numbers, text, images, and sound. The unit begins with students investigating what it means to represent information, and challenges students to design their own representation systems. Students then learn the ideas behind real-world systems used to represent complex information. Later lessons focus on the challenges that arise from digitizing information, such as the need to compress it, or questions of intellectual property. The unit project emphasizes the profound impact digital information has on modern life. UNIT PHILOSOPHY AND PEDAGOGY ESTABLISHING A STRONG CLASSROOM CULTURE: This unit is designed to be hands-on, collaborative, and exploratory. A major focus of the unit is building a positive classroom culture in which students work together, explore problems, and communicate about their thinking. Most lessons either feature physical manipulatives or a digital widget, and the bulk of lesson time should be spent with students exploring these tools together to develop an understanding of the concepts they highlight. The course intentionally does not start with programming since, in many classrooms, some students have experience with programming and others do not. Choosing to begin with digital information and the internet lets you build community in the room while exploring a topic that is likely to be accessible to all students. The supportive and inclusive classroom environment built in this unit should help set a positive tone that can be carried through the school year.

  • How to Draw Poses for Beginners Anime
    1 How To Draw Poses For Beginners Anime Drawing the neck. Beware Too Much Praise. If you haven t seen Akira, it takes place in an unfriendly and foreboding urban, post-apocalyptic Tokyo, named Neo-Tokyo , populated by biker gangs and other cyberpunk elements which have stood the test of time. Once again consider the running pose for the legs in this particular pose. However, just be wary of where the source of praise is coming from, especially if you are looking for a deep, critical eye for your work. the whole way through. Let s examine some of the fundamentals of the running pose, followed by a step-by-step breakdown of how to do it yourself. Keep the arms bent at the elbow. Drawing the neck in a punching pose will have you drawing it a bit tilted forward, and motley tucked into the front of the torso and under the chin. This could also vary, as you could have the character s head be parallel to the ground if your character is really sprinting. I was perusing the Internet as I often do, and I found a video of the talented team of animators who were in charge of creating environments and stills for the 1988 movie, Akira. Any good, action-packed anime involves multiple running poses to put characters in. This is where the concept of constructive criticism comes in. The Itano Circus creates mind-blowing visuals, especially in animes that are fast-paced. Drawing the Arms. Final Thoughts. Drawing the Head. Drawing the legs is where the figure really starts to take shape.

Preface The International Workshop on Digital Radio Technology and Applications was a milestone event. For the first time, it brought together many of those using low-cost radio systems for development and humanitarian-based computer communications in Africa and Asia, in both terrestrial and satellite environments. Ten years ago the prospect of seeing all these people in one place to share their experiences was only a far-off dream. At that time no one really had a clue whether there would be interest, funding and expertise available to exploit these technologies for relief and development applications. VITA and IDRC are pleased to have been involved in various capacities in these efforts right from the beginning. As mentioned in VITA's welcome at the Workshop, we can all be proud to have participated in a pioneering effort to bring the benefits of modern information and communications technology to those that most need and deserve it. But now the Workshop is history. We hope that the next ten years will take these technologies beyond the realm of experimentation and demonstration into the mainstream of development strategies and programs.
