Queen's Blade

Sorry for not posting in so long, procrastination is my worst enemy. Anyways on with the blog!

Today's anime review is Queen's Blade. This is an ecchi anime which means there are boob shots a-plenty. Needless to say there is fan service in generous portions. Now that we have the nudity aspect out of the way, let's get to the actual story shall we? The plot is that there is a tournament known as the Queen's Blade where women fight to be known as the strongest and most beautiful. Of course all of the characters I have seen in this anime are beautiful, but that's besides the point. There's some pretty great action in this anime, and it's a kind of fantasy medieval sort of setting. So far I am greatly enjoying this series and will soon be reviewing Queen's Blade: Gyokuza O Tsugu Mono. This anime gets an 8/10 and you can watch it here.

A Slew of Steampunk Goodies

First of all I would like to talk about the game Torchlight. It's like Diablo 2.5. a Stepping stone between Diablo 2 and Diablo 3. It may seem like a knockoff but believe me it is worth a try. The graphics are very nicely stylized and the skills are fantastic. Also it's a steampunk game. And not only does it look great, it isn't a huge download and is relatively cheap. I love this game so much I've been playing it nearly non-stop. I'm going to have to award this game my RPG of the Year award, as well as a much deserved 10/10.

I also would like to mention the web-cast show Riese on koldcast.tv, which you can watch here. It's a steampunk show filmed in Canada and it looks fantastic. I'm just a sucker for anyone with a wolf companion. There have only been two episodes so far, and though short they are great episodes. I highly recommend it to any fan of fantasy and science fiction.

Flight of the Last Vampire

So I went to blockbuster yesterday and picked up some movies, as I am one to do. The movies that I'm reviewing are Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane and Blood: The Last Vampire. Neither of these movies were really that great. Both movies seemed to be fairly low-budget with casts of mostly unknowns. Flight of the Living Dead is pretty self explanatory, some sort of virus that was developed by the government to bring the dead to life is transported on a plane and eventually causes zombies to run a muck. 4/10 for only the fact that I love zombies so much. Blood: The Last Vampire is a 2009 live-action movie loosely based on the anime Blood+. I do mean loosely So loosely only the main character Saya is the only thing that's really in common. There is no other character from the anime in this movie, the plot is completely different and she even uses a different sword. It's not even the same as the 2000 animated movie by the same name that really launched the series. The effects weren't that great either, the "vampires" looked more like claymation of the late 80s/early 90s. Totally fucked that one up 1/10.

Apologies

Sorry for not updating in so long. My computer decided to quit reading my browser so I was forced to upgrade to Windows 7 (which is actually a great improvement over Vista). This fixed the problem I had with the internet, but the Windows 7 decided to block access to my CD/DVD-ROM drive, so I was unable to complete my Halloween movies. Two weeks after posting a plea for help on the Microsoft Answers forum, I have yet to receive an answer to my problem. So yes in the back of my mind I have been quite pissed the past few weeks. But I shall post reviews of A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, Blood: The Last Vampire (2009), Daphne in the Brilliant Blue, Inuyasha, Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Miss Congeniality over the next few days. Until the next sunrise, good night.
