Aria the Scarlet Ammo: This 아니메 is not in any way related to Aria the Animation, Aria the Natural, 또는 Aria the Origination. It has a way 더 많이 frantic pace than those sedate shows. Hapless Kinji meets the bossy, hyper Aria after she drops in to help save him from a bomb. All the other girls introduced in this series like Kinji, too, making it a harem anime. But Aria outshines those other girls. Kinji doesn’t know how to take all the flirting, though. Too much of it activates his “hysteria mode”, a mysterious condition I never did quite figure out. Kinji and others are studying to become heroes, and most of them are descendants of legendary men. Aria, for instance, is descended from Sherlock Holmes. One of the rival girls is Lupin IV, making her Lupin III’s daughter. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be the same Lupin III as in the famous anime, but it does have appeal—is her mother Fujiko?
This show could have featured lots of panty shots, but it is reserved about them most of the time, choosing to stop at the hem of the 치마 and not go any further.
Virtua Fighter: Okay, I didn’t really finish this—there are about eleven episodes I didn’t see. But those were never imported, and besides, the last episode I saw tied up a lot of loose ends, so it had an air to finality about it. Based on a video game, the show is about a young man named Akira Yuki, who used to fight just to prove who is strongest, but now is 더 많이 virtuous. Along the way on his journey to redeem himself, he befriends Pai Chan, a girl on the run from an arranged marriage; Jacky, a race car driver; and Sarah; Jacky’s sister. This is an older anime, and it feels like something out of the 1980’s, although it’s later than that. It has one big, long continuous plot—it seems like they’ll never find Sarah after she is kidnapped. The show is localized well, and the way the characters interact is often humorous. Okay, maybe 당신 shouldn’t expect sheer brilliance here, but the show is a lot of fun.
Tiger & Bunny: What a rush! What a blast! What a great twist on the buddy cop genre!
Goofy, hapless, and yet optimistic superhero Wild Tiger doesn’t want to team up with the cool as a cucumber newcomer, Barnaby Brooks, Jr., and starts calling him Bunny instead of Barnaby. But soon they are as close as can be. They are part of a group of 히어로즈 filmed for a high in the ratings show, Hero TV, and have to wear sponsors’ logos on their suits. They have to deal with things like bombers, killers, and invincible androids, plus 더 많이 ordinary things like getting Wild Tiger’s daughter Kaede to like him. I’d 사랑 to have this series in my personal collection.
