Texhnolyze Hiroshi Hamazaki (II)Rated: Unrated Writer: Chiaki Konaka Date Added: 10 нояб. 2006 Languages: Japanese, English Subtitles: Russian, English Sound: Dolby Digital Picture Format: Anamorphic Widescreen Comments: Animated Summary: As "Texhnolyze" was created by many of the artists who produced "Serial Experiments Lain", it's not surprising that the story unfolds in fragments. Trying to adjust to his incomplete cybernetic limbs, Ichise stumbles through the grubby streets and sewers of Lukuss. Ran follows him mutely, sometimes wearing a fox mask, which is traditionally associated with shape-shifters. The mysterious doctor who began the transplants completes the job, sheathing the skeletal metal and improving Ichise's coordination. Yoshii the wanderer precipitates a war between the rival gangs of Organo and the Salvation Union to observe the "raw energy" it unleashes. The bleak atmosphere feels more important--and interesting--than any of the characters. Fans of "Lain" may find "Texhnolyze" profound and compelling; its detractors will dismiss it as pretentious hokum. Few viewers will regard it with indifference. (Rated 16 and older: considerable violence, nudity, sexual situations, alcohol and tobacco use) "--Charles Solomon"

Tokyo Godfathers Shôgo Furuya, Satoshi KonRated: PG-13 Writer: Satoshi Kon, Satoshi Kon Date Added: 14 июня 2006 Languages: Japanese Subtitles: Russian Sound: Dolby Picture Format: Anamorphic Widescreen Comments: Animated Summary: Satoshi Kon's third feature (following "Perfect Blue" and "Millennium Actress") confirms his status as one of the most interesting directors working in anime. "Tokyo Godfathers" centers on three homeless people: Hana, a flamboyant ex-drag entertainer; Gin, an alcoholic former bicycle racer; and Miyuki, a sullen teenage runaway. Their tenuous existence becomes more chaotic when they set out to find the parents of an abandoned baby on Christmas Eve. They scream insults as they confront the lies they've told each other--and themselves--about the past. Yet they remain curiously endearing and even noble. All three care passionately about the abandoned infant, and they love each other, although they're loath to admit it. Kon skillfully uses color to suggest the bitter winter cold and the characters' alienation. "Tokyo Godfathers" shows that battling the inner demons that led these three characters to skid row can be a more daunting challenge than fighting aliens and cyborgs. (Rated PG-13: profanity, violence, tobacco and alcohol use) "--Charles Solomon"

"The Humanoid Typhoon"? To bounty hunters, he's an outlaw with 60,000,000,000 Double Dollars on his head. To Meryl Stryfe and Millie Thompson of the Bernardelli Insurance Society, he's a walking disaster area who's cost the company a fortune. To "otaku", he's one of the most popular characters in anime. Based on Yasuhiro Nightow's "manga", this comic adventure takes place in the distant future on a desert planet that looks like the American Old West. Vash wanders from town to town, unsuccessfully pursuing peace, doughnuts, and "the mayfly known as love." Meryl and Millie follow him, trying to minimize the destruction, but Vash's only real friend is the gun-totin' preacher Nicholas Wolfwood. Despite their grudging affection, Wolfwood articulates the other characters' thoughts when he tells Vash, "When you're around, things always seem to get worse!"
