Utawarerumono (2006)
If you love Inuyasha, or Full Metal Alchemist, you'll enjoy this
The storyline features a man who finds himself with two problems, one of which is amnesia, the other, is that he has a mask permanently fixed to his face.
Upon awakening in a strangers house Haruoko finds himself unable to remember who he is or how he got here. Both of which become the least of his worries when he finds that his face is covered by a mask which he cannot remove, As he is trying to answer these basic questions a strange old woman comes up the stairs to greet him, telling him that she has saved his life, and that he is welcome to stay in her home as long as he pleases, marking the beginning of Haruoko's new life. As he wanders the town, he learns that its strange-looking inhabitants have a unique connection to nature; hence, their tails and long, pointy ears. Now, on a mission to reconstruct his lost memory and solve the mystery of the mask, Hakuoro joins with the villagers to protect their town and way of life.
All in all this series is entertaining, however, it does seem to move extremely fast as far as story to episode is concerned, in just under ten episodes, the characters have found places within each others lives, as well as the destiny of the world. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the likes of Inuyasha, and Full Metal Alchemist.
The DVD set however, seems to end abruptly, It is unclear to me if this marks the end of the series, or just the end of the first set of DVDs. Little is known about any intentions to release a third volume.
The Punisher (1989)
this was an alright film with a few mistakes
This film was sort of the middle of the road as far as comic book based movies are concerned. This film was good, the acting was alright, the characters were well portrayed. the few things that went wrong with this film are the facts that the punisher isn't wearing his trademark skull T-shirt, nor is wear his trench coat, and secondly his 5 o'clock shadow is just make-up, you can tell this because in many of the scenes his "beard" runs onto his ear-lobe. but back to the point, this movie was by far no where near as good as its 2004 version, but it was for the better part, on of the best marvel comic book movie adaptations in the pre-"spidey" world of the 1980's, it has typical 80's brutal action sequences, and is a thousand times better then any of the marvel movies to come out before it. cough*fantastic four*cough
