Legend of the Tsunami Warrior - Movie Review

Legend of the Tsunami Warrior

Saha Mongkul Film Production©

Summary

As sea pirates threaten to invade their kingdoms, three queens of Langkasuka must band together to defend their lands and peoples.

Rating: R

Genre: Fighting, Pirates, Drama, Romance

Year: 2008

Storyline

This movie had a pretty interesting storyline. It seemed like it was based off of some sort of Mythology story. It was easy to follow and not super complicated. The ending was a bit different then what I expected, but it made more sense then what I thought was going to happen.

Graphics

There's so pretty neat effects in this movie. Riding around on whales and sting rays just make the movie cool. Not to mention, you gotta love it when people power up. No matter what the reason is, it just looks cool.

Wrap Up

After watching the movie, I came to the conclusion that this was a movie about an Asain Aquaman. The only difference being he's actually useful and knew how to fight outside of the water.

Triple Movie Review

Kung Fu Chefs

My Way Film Company Limited ©

Summary

Ousted chef Wong Bing-Yi is determined to help Shen Qing at her restaurant "Four Seas". He trains a young chef, Lung Kin-Yat to compete against Chef Tin, the head chef at "Imperial Palace", for the title of "Top Chef".

Year: 2009

Genre: Comedy, Fighting, Cooking

Rating: N/A

Wrap Up

This movie was pretty interesting. It teaches you a lot about cooking. The fighting in it, is mostly for entertainment purposes. As in, they didn't want the viewer to get bored while they did a movie about cooking, so they threw in random fighting scenes. The storyline is actually pretty decent. I was surprised. Originally thinking that this movie was going to be a B-Movie, it actually ended up being decent. The only complaint I have is that the subs go wicked fast.

The Warlords

Media Asia Distribution©, ARM Distribution©, Polybona Films©,
Shaw Organisation©, MediaCorp Raintree Pictures©, Innoform Media©,
Magnet Releasing©

Summary

It's a heroic tale of three blood brothers and their struggle in the midst of war and political upheaval. It is based on "The Assassination of Ma," a Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) story about the killing of general Ma Xinyi. The story was filmed by Zhang Che in 1973 as The Blood Brothers.

Year: 2007

Genre: War, Fighting, Romance, Drama, Historical

Rating: R

Wrap Up

In all honesty this movie was pretty depressing. Here, I thought it was going to be an epic movie about three brothers who stood up to the empire and change the course of China's civil war. However, I was wrong. It's about three guys who are not blood related, but take the sacrid brother pack. They work for the empirer, but still change the course of history. The ending was sad. The entire movie is sad. I guess that's just how wars are though.

Operation: Endgame

Infinity Films©, Scion Films©, Darko Entertainment©

Summary

A battle ensues among groups of government spy teams in an underground facility after their boss is assassinated.

Year: 2010

Genre: Drama, Action

Rating: R

Wrap Up

Weird ass movie. It's pretty much just two groups of people killing each other off. Some people even kill off their own team mates just for the hell of it. Everyone is crazy. It's got a crazy twist at the end of the movie, but you kinda see it coming if you're paying attention to the dialog. If you're bored, watch the movie. It's nothing to brag about though. Pretty dissapointing in all honesty.

Red Cliff - Movie Review

Beijing Film Studio©; China Film Group©; Lion Rock Productions©

Summary

The first chapter of a two-part story centered on a battle fought in China's Three Kingdoms period (220-280 A.D.).

Rating: R

Genre: Fighting

Year: 2008

Storyline

It was easy to follow, which is always a good thing. However, sometimes the battles got a bit confusing. At least to my family, they did. I didn't have that much trouble following it. Then again, I have played Dynasty Warriors enough times to understand what was going on without the movie telling me. It's basically covers the start of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and focuses more on the battle at Red Cliff. For those of you who have played the games, it's the one where it's night and you're fighting on a bunch of ships that are stuck together. It's also the level where you can pick up fire arrows.

Graphics

Really nicely done. There's a lot of awesome scenary shots and the battles were insane. The amount of people they had in the armies still blows my mind. There are scenes where it's a flying camera shot down the river, and it shows litterly hundreds of ships stationed along the shore. An incredable movie.

Wrap Up

This movie was a lot better than what I thought it was going to be. I've seen a lot of random movies based off of ancient wars in Asia, and for some reason they're all border line B-Movie quality. However, this one really takes the cake (as you one could say). It was an amazing movie with great acting and camera work. The battles were very entertaining and easy to follow (for the most part). I would love to see another movie as good as this one to explain more about the battles that came after Red Cliff.

Pretear - Anime Review

Hal Film Maker©, Kadokawa Shoten©, Rondo Robe©

Plot Summary
Himeno Awayuki was a normal sixteen-year old girl until her father married a woman who happens to be rich. Since then, she has been perceived as an outcast by both her new stepsisters and her classmates. Later Himeno finds out from seven men called the Leafe Knights that she is something called Pretear, a girl who has the power to merge with and control the nature of the elemental-oriented powers from the Leafe Knights and stop an evil being called the Princess of Disaster.

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance, Magical
Episodes: 13
Year: 2001

Episode 1

This was a bit different then what I was expecting. I really do feel for the girl. Her life reminds me a lot of Cinderalla. I thought she would go on a journey to find the Leafe Knights, but they were already all gathered and ran into her in the first episode. Takes a lot of the adventure away from the show. I would like to point out that the knights changed their clothes to fight. What is with the Japanese and having that in their shows? At least it wasn't indivisual transformation scenes. I would also like to mention that for a group of knights dedicated in protecting Leafe of the entire planet, they suck at fighting.

Episode 2

In this episode, Himeno Awayuki decided to practice using the special moves she can do while fused with one of the Leafe Knights. However, she only practices with one of them and of course it's the one she uses in the fight with Demon Larva. I also like to inform everyone that it's a one hit kill to all the Demon Larvas. Doing that makes the show less exciting then what it could be.

Episode 3

This episode is pretty much the same as the others. I'm guessing since there is only three episodes, there's enough time for her to fuse with each Leafe Knight twice, defeating a different larva each time. Of course, she'll use their special move to do a one hit kill each time. If this wasn't a half season anime, I wouldn't suggest it. However, I might as well finish it since it's not very long. Who knows? It might have a decent ending.

Thoughts On Completion

For the most part, Pretear, has a pretty interesting storyline. I enjoy the fact that there were different Knights that represent each Element and the fact she could fuse with any of them at any given time. However, I was disapointed in the fact that they didn't go into much detail with it. No upgrades to their special moves and no duel fusions. The storyline focused a lot on the feelings of each of the characters and the plot twists were decent for a short anime. They could have did a bit more with it, but I guess they didn't have enough time. The ending started off good, but took a horrible turn when they had the main  villain cry. Ruined the entire thing for me. It's an anime targeting 14 - 16 year old girls, so it's understandable that being love would save the world, but it was so over done that even the root of all evil did it. This was not for me, nor would I recommend it for any straight males older then 16. However, it's short enough to watch if you have nothing else to do, or if you're interested in trying out a new type of anime. To be fair it wasn't THAT bad and did keep me entertained through the entire series.

Togainu No Chi - Review Update

A-1 Pictures Inc.©

Overview
Akira, the young champion of a street fighting tournament caleld BI@ster, is suddenly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. He makes a deal with a mysterious woman to get out of prison on one condition: to defeat the strongest man, the Il-Re, in a deadly game called Igura, which is taking place under the rule of a drug ring in the abandoned remains of Tokyo. This one sounds really interesting. If done correctly, I can see this becoming an awesome Shōnen type show.  A bit more mature then the others, but still has cool fight scenes and power-ups.

Episode 1
The artwork is really nicely done. This episode did a fairly decent job setting up the plot of the entire show. Also showed how bored the main character is with fighting weaklings and yet still showed that he wasn't of violent nature despite him being so good at beating the crap out of people. If you like blood there was a lot at the end of this episode.

Episode 2
This episode is mostly about the introduction of a few other possibly main characters. Shows a bit more of the area and explains just a tiny bit about the dangerous game. However, it didn't go into too much detail, and I'm guessing that's going to take a few episodes. So far this anime is pretty decent.

Episode 3
Introduction of yet another character and a possible picture of the main villain. That pretty much sums up this entire episode.

Wrap Up
The storyline is well laid out. Gives enough info, so the watcher knows what's going on, while leaving enough unanswered questions to keep you watching. The animation is well done. I recommend it. It's pretty interesting even though it has less action then I thought it would. However, the story is just begining and there's a lot of room for some awesome fights.

Yosuga No Sora - Review Update

Feel©

Overview
Haruka Kazugano and his twin sister Sora have found childhood memories of going to the viilage to visit their grandfather during their summer vacations. However, after losing their parents in an accident, the two must move in with their grandfather. This sounds like a good old fashion Slice of Life story. Probably have quite a few Flash Backs to help tell the story. Might be pretty cute to watch. My prediction is that it's only going to be 12 ~ 13 episodes.

Episode 1
Um... Wow. Not what I was expecting. First thing I notice is that his twin sister is a bitch. After that I started noticing that every female in the entire town thinks Haruka is God's gift to women. By the end of the episode even his twin sister is trying to bone him. I thought this would be a cute slice-of-life anime, but it's actually just like a dating sim, but in anime form. It's even pretty mature. After the first set of credits there is another short bonus episode clip with it's own set of credits.

Episode 2
This episode was slightly better. It showed more school life and did a bit of backstory on some of the characters. The twin sister still has a "I'm the only girl for you" complex with her twin brother, but they did introduce another male character. There was a bonus short clip after the credits in this episode as well. I'm guessing it's going to be like that for every episode, so make sure you watch the credits!

Episode 3
More backstory! Yay! Looks like a relationship has developed between Haruka and someone else. I wonder how this will affect everyone else? I guess you'll have to watch the rest of the series to find out.

Wrap Up
Even though this show was nothing like what I thought it would be, it still ended up being prettying good. It may have it's ecchi/mature parts, but it's got an interesting Romance theme to it. Episode 3 is where the story actually starts picking up though, so it's hard to give it a final opinion. From what I say, this is a good Romance anime for guys. I also did some research and found out that this is Anime is really based off of a PC game. It's a Visual Novel and it has the same name as the Anime, so if you're interested feel free to Google it.

Otome Youkai Zakuro - Review Update

J.C. Staff©

Overview
The fox-eared girls living in the youkai part of town are about to be put to work together with a delegation of young human soliders, to promote interracial understanding. So when will happen when Zakuo's strong personality collides with human sensibilities? This one can go two ways. It can be a Romantic Comedy, or it can be filled with Drama, War, and Fighting. I couldn't find enough information on it right now. I'm pretty interested in this one, so I'll be looking forward to the actual episodes. I want to see which direction it will take.

Episode 1

Pretty interesting concept. This episode was very entertaining and made me laugh a few times. I also enjoyed the character introductions and relationship development. However, the battle towards the end of the episode was a real disappointed. It reminded me of Star Driver, in where it was a one hit kill. Hopefully the next episode has a bit more of a battle.

Episode 2

So this episode shows how scared humans are of spirits and how much Japan is trying to be like America. It has it's pros, but they're forgetting their own culture in the process. It makes an excellent point. I also figured out that the lack of action is based around the fact that this pretty much has a romance undertone to it. 

Episode 3

This episode shows that there might actually be a or some villains. It also shows that not all spirits are friendly or scared. There are some that are very dangerous and even eat humans! However, there's still not much action in it and it still has that drama/romance undertone. 

Wrap Up

This show wasn't what I was expecting. It's still pretty good, but I thought it was going to have battles, action, fighting, and possibly war in it. It's pretty much based around the relationships between humans and spirits. I would say it's a good show if you're into not much action. Sometimes we all just need a bit more romance in our lives. I suggest this one for all those of  you who want a break from the action anime and/or want a bit more romance in your lives.

No Ordinary Family - Review

Tuesdays at 8:00/7:00c on ABC

Overview
I found this show by accident. I was surfing around for super hero stuff (mostly Marvel related). After reading a short summary about the show, I decided to give it the usual three episode chance. My first impression was The Incredibles meets Heroes. This of course was more than enough to make me want to watch it.

Episode 1
The pilot episode was actually really well done. They did a good job showing the dysfunctional family going on a vacation, and having a horrible life/death situation happen. You would think that it would bring them together as a family, but it didn't. At least not in the long run. It was the development of super powers that did it.

Episode 2
This episode covers how they adapt to normal life with their new found super powers. Each having their own issues with the power and learning how to cope with it. Pretty realistic, as far as super hero shows go.

Episode 3
The family continues trying to balance out everyday life and super powers. The episode does a good job showing how the family is still having problems, and having powers is making things a bit more complicated. The daughter craves for the chance to be normal again, but I personally don't see what the big deal is. It's clearly shown in the first episode that she didn't have much of a life before the powers. She went from no life to no life, but with the ability to read minds when she wanted to. I can't stand people in shows, games, and comics that have super powers, but complain about them.

Wrap Up
The show isn't too bad. It's a family show, so there isn't as much action as there can be, but to be fair the show is just getting started. I can see this being at least a few seasons long. With the random showings that there might be others out there with powers, they can do a lot plot wise. Villains and allies are some of the more given plot twist I can see happening. If you like super hero stuff, than I say you should give this one a chance. I wont make a final verdict until I see more. I'm still worried it might flop/cancel. ABC seems to be famous for that.

House, Season 7 - Review

Mondays at 8:00pm PST/7:00c on Fox

Overview
I'll admit, I'm not a House expert. I've only seen a handful of episodes. Usually when I was at a friend's house. I just recently started the 7th season, because I had always liked the show and wanted to see what was going on now. I think the last episode I seen was in either season 4 or maybe 5. It was a couple of years ago if I'm remembering correctly. If you're like me, you don't really need to see the other seasons to know what's going on, but it does help. House is an asshole who has a team of doctors that specialize in figuring out what's wrong with a patient when no one else knows. With that knowledge you can jump in and enjoy the show. However, I do suggest checking out the other seasons if you're interested in the personal relationships and developments among the characters.

Episode 1
This episode wasn't too exciting. It covered the newly developed relationship of House and Cuddy. It also foreshadowed something going on with Thirteen. Really not much as a starter to a season, but I guess it fits since the last season ended with them together or something like that.

Episode 2
This episode tackles the conflicts that come up from House and Cuddy being in a relationship while still being in the work environment. As many of you might know, Cuddy is House's supervisor/boss. I'm sure that can get quite awkward and they did an excellent job showing it.

Episode 3
House is a big fan of an Author who gets checked into the ER, because she tried committing suicide. He spends the majority of the episode trying to find the manual script of her latest book, so he could read it. The show also tackles the fact that House and Cuddy have nothing in common outside of work. House is trying to find some kind of common ground and so he takes her out on a couple of dates. Which prove quite entertaining for the viewer.

Wrap Up
The season started off a bit too slow for me, but Episode 3 proved that it's getting back into the groove of things. I'm really looking forward to watching this show on a daily basis and hope the season continues to get better and better. However, I have a small amount of fear that they will drag the show on longer than it needs to be and ruin it. I've seen a lot of shows do that, but so far House seems to keep the watchers entertained by throwing in plot twists and new interesting cases. I recommend everyone who enjoys doctor shows to check out House, if you haven't already.

FlashForward - Review

ABC©

FlashForward is a show about the entire world blacking out and seeing their future. It mostly revolves around a FBI agent,  Mark Benford, and his hazy drunk vision of the future. In his vision he saw himself working on figuring out what caused the black out, but due to the fact of his heavy drinking he can only remember a few clues. Using these clues he starts on his investigation. The show itself makes a lot of sense as things get revealed and questions become answered. Sadly, the show itself was cancelled. However, they were nice enough to give us a good ending episode that answered a lot of questions and felt like a good end for the season. It didn't answer all the questions and  left it off for another season, but as of right now, there wont be any. You can join the Facebook page to support the show coming back for another season. You can also buy the season on DVD to show your support. I've heard some people are boycotting ABC except for the reruns of FlashForward. In all honesty, FlashForward is probably one of the best Sci-Fi shows I've ever seen on TV. It was really well done and actually makes sense if you know a bit about quantum physics. Not that I'm an expert, but it's obvious the people did their research.

The Event - Review

Mondays at 9:00/8:00c on NBC

Overview
I really had no idea what this show was about. I had never even heard of it. While surfing around Hulu looking for something to help me make time pass, I stumbled onto it. It seems to be a Sci-Fi & Drama show about activities within the government, that is related to aliens.

Episode 1
I'm really glad I didn't judge this show right away. The show has a horrible habit of bouncing in forth between different time periods, some not even having a point to the actual main plot. Most of the flash backs are random, and most were poorly done. I really had no idea what was going on by the end of the episode.

Episode 2
Less flash backs, but they were still there and still done poorly. They started to explain what was going on, but still left you with many unanswered questions. One being how obviously innocent and confused the main character was, but no one else seems to notice. Is everyone who's not working for the CIA stupid?

Episode 3
The creators of this show are HUGE fans of flash backs. More then half the show is flipping through different flash backs. It's so poorly done that I don't know if I can watch any more of this show. The entire concept is super interesting, but the way it's done is just horrible. The main character seems to be able to do everything to survive. He's in great shape and super smart.

Wrap Up
If episode 4 has as many random flash backs as these episodes then I will drop the show and not recommend the show to anyone. I'm still holding out that the show is just having a hard time getting started and it'll get better as it gets the plot moving. Sadly, a lot of shows either never get better or start off really good, but doesn't get popular fast enough and gets cancelled.

Fall 2010 Anime List - Prediction Review

It's that time of the year again. The leaves are starting to turn, the wind is picking up, school is starting, and the new season of Anime is starting to air. Bellow is a list of new Anime airing in Japan this season. Along with any information I could gather on and a personal opinion review on each one. Once I get a chance to watch more of each show, I'll probably do individual reviews.

http://youtu.be/hOVCd_7RsBY

Star Driver: Kagayaki no Tact
Genre: Mecha, Fighting, Action

On a cross-shaped island in the South, a mysterious and gigantic humanoid robot known as the "Cybuddy" is discovered sealed in the underground ruins. The Order of the Glittering Star Cross abducts a girl named Wako Agemaki, the key to activating the robot. A boy named Takuto Tsunashi arrives with his own Cybuddy named Tauburn to rescue her.

Sounds like a pretty basic giant robot anime to me. Judging from the sound of it, it could either be like Gundam, or Gurren Lagann. I hoping it's the later. It'll be interesting to see that kind of scale along with the comedy mixed together again. I however don't have very high hopes for this. Reason being; Most Mecha Anime shows are pretty much the same.

http://youtu.be/Jq2kFH7K3Ms

Hyakka Ryoran Samurai Girls

Genre: Action, Fighting

In an alternate future, the Tokugawa shogunate never lost power and Japan mainstrained its enforced seclusion from the rest of the world. The 25th shogun assumed the mantle of Japan's leadership 20 years ago, and the student council enforces the suppression of rebellious elements at a giant academy for children of military families at the foot of Mt. Fuiji.

This one actually sounds really interesting. It's pretty much old school Samurai within the modern world. I personally love alternate history/timelines stuff, and look forward to seeing how well done this turns out. Judging from the name, it's probably going to be a bit Ecchi too. Which can be a good thing, but also can take away from the seriousness of the show.

http://youtu.be/iZbGlVqKXTM

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

Genre: Comedy, Fighting, Supernatural, Ecchi

The story revoles around two angels - "Panty" (a blond-haired girl who wears teen-celbrity style fashion); and "Stocking"(a black-haired girl in gothic-lolita attire) - are send from the Upper Region to battle against "Ghosts" on Earth.

I'm actually not sure about the genre of this one. I only guessed, since I couldn't find much information at the moment. Judging from the name, it's gotta be an Ecchi Comedy. It seems there is a large number of comedy shows airing this season. Might be a good thing. It evens out when you take in the account that the mainstream Anime shows are reaching major storyline climaxes. 

Invasion! Squid Girl

Genre: Comedy, Fighting(?), Drama(?)

The sea in the world has been polluted. All sort of trash were thrown into thesea, making it upleasant deep under the sea. One of the inhabitants of the sea, Ika Musume (Squid Girl) seeks to exact revenge on humanity for throwing trash into the sea.

I'm not too sure about this one. Sounds like an anti-oil spill anime. However, the picture I found of it made the show look adorable. I'm not too interested in it, but I'll give it a try. Might actually involve fighting and what not. Too early to tell at this point.

http://youtu.be/h-1jTCXt2sY

Super Robot Wars: The Inspector

Genre: Mecha, Fighting

It's a bunch of giant robots beating each other up... No storyline as far as I know.

Eh.... I really couldn't find much information on this. From what I gather, it's just a show about robots fighting. Might be fun to watch, if the fights are done nicely. However, I'm not too sure on the quality of this. I'll need to watch an episode or two, before I can give a better prediction review.

http://youtu.be/4C5Xq-KUICQ

My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute!

Genre: Romance, Comedy, Otaku

Kousaka Kyousuke is an average high school studen who doesn't get along well with his younger sister, the cute and popular Kirino. Then one day he makes a startling discovery: Kirino's secretly an Otaku.

Okay. I'll admit. I thought this was just another incest Anime. We really don't need any more of those, but after talking to someone about it, it might actually be more then that. I added Romance to the genre, because that's what it sounds like it's going to be. However, there hasn't actually been anything announced that states it's a Romance. Might actually be an Otaku anime. 

http://youtu.be/Z-x7GDhEOLg

Otome Yokai Zakuro

Genre: War, Romance, Drama... or Comedy

The fox-eared girls living in the youkai part of town are about to be put to work together with a delegation of young human soliders, to promote interracial understanding. So when will happen when Zakuo's strong personality collides with human sensibilities?

This one can go two ways. It can be a Romantic Comedy, or it can be filled with Drama, War, and Fighting. I couldn't find enough information on it right now. I'm pretty interested in this one, so I'll be looking forward to the actual episodes. I want to see which direction it will take.

Bakuman

Genre: Otaku, Romance, Comedy

Moritaka Mashiro is an average 9th grade studen but talented artist, and Akito Takagi, an overall advanced 9th grader and aspiring writer. Takgi convinces Mashiro to join him in becoming the greatest mangakas Japan has ever seen. Takagi, with his gift of writing, hopes to become a sucessful mangaka, and Mashiro, with his gift of art, hopes to mary the girl of his dreams, Azuki Miho.

I'm looking forward to this one. I truly enjoy Otaku Anime shows and wanted to see another one based around making Manga. 

Fortune Arterial

Genre: Vampires, Romance

The story revolves around a transfer student named Kohei Hasekura who discovers that his new remote island school, Shuchikan Academy, has a female vampire named Erika Sendo within its student body.

Another Romantic Anime based around Vampires. Highly over done these days. As long as they don't sparkle, I'll watch it.

http://youtu.be/_kFGNV69Va4

The World God Only Knows

Genre: Romance, Comedy

Katsuragi Keima is a god at eroge games, while in real life he hates all real girls. However he is approached by a devil, Elsee, from to help her in catching runaway spirits that hide in people. Apparently the spirits only hide in the hearts of girls and the only way to get the souls out is by making the girls fall in love so the spirit gets forced out.

Someone told me to read this Manga a long time ago. I told them I did, but the truth is, I only bookmarked it. Surprising to me, they're doing an Anime now. Which gives me an excuse to also check out the Manga. I'm super interested in this one, because it just sounds insanely funny and ironic. I will enjoy doing a full review once the show finishes.

MM

Genre: Comedy, Romance

Taro Sado is a normal high school boy who discovered a side of himself that is into masochism. Even as he triest to hide his side from his high school crush, he tries to fix it through his school's "2nd Volunteer Club."

Meh. I don't know what to say about this. The main character sounds like a pussy. 

http://youtu.be/Mnh5ETmX6WQ

Yosuga no Sora

Genre: Slice of Life

Haruka Kazugano and his twin sister Sora have found childhood memories of going to the viilage to visit their grandfather during their summer vacations. However, after losing their prents in an accident, the two must move in with their grandfather.

This sounds like a good old fashion Slice of Life story. Probably have quite a few Flash Backs to help tell the story. Might be pretty cute to watch. My prediction is that it's only going to be 12 ~ 13 episodes.

Agricultural Musume

Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life

The story of Nogyo Musume! centers around Hikari and Hikaru Koshino, two sisters who take care of the paddy they inherited from their parents. Together, the sisters grow rice and hang out with their friencs in the local area.

I'm not going to lie. This one sounds incredibly boring. Hopefully the comedy is done in a way that makes watching the entire season bearable. More then likely it's going to be another 12 ~ 13 episodes.

Rita et Machin

Genre: Comedy, Slice of Life

Based off a book by the same name. The books follow the happy daily lives of a precocious five-year-old girl named Rita and an easy-going yet somewhat lazy dog named Machin.

All I can say about this, is that I hope it's not a few hundred episodes long. They tend to over do shows like this, because they target young children. I'm hoping that it'll be similar to Rugrats, in the sense that you can see what she's imagining.

Robin and his 100 Friends

Genre: Silce of Life(?)

The story revolves around a boy named Robin who moves from downtown to Geen Village and is determined to make many friends there.

I wonder if it's going to have 100 episodes. Each episode he makes a new friend? I can see it happening. I wouldn't mind if they did that. As long as the animation and story telling is good.

Togainu no Chi

Genre: Action, Fighting, Crime

Akira, the young champion of a street fighting tournament caleld BI@ster, is suddenly arrested for a crime he didn't commit. He makes a deal with a mysterious woman to get out of prison on one condition: to defeat the strongest man, the Il-Re, in a deadly game called Igura, which is taking place under the rule of a drug ring in the abandoned remains of Tokyo.

This one sounds really interesting. If done correctly, I can see this becoming an awesome Shōnen type show.  A bit more mature then the others, but still has cool fight scenes and power-ups.

Soredemo Machi wa Maqatteriru

Genre: Comedy, Crime, Detective

The story centers around Seaside, a slightly odd maid tea shop in an otherwise ordinary shopping district of a mundane neighborhood in Tokyo. (Despite the addition of maids, Seaside is a traditional maid tea shop, instead of one of the maid cafes made popular elsewhere.) Hotori Arashiyama works at Seaside and daydreams about being a high schol gir detective.

Harriet The Spy in Anime form? Sounds about right to me. I'll be looking forward to seeing what end up doing with this show. It has a couple of possibilities. The only fear I have, is that it turns out to be a children's show. With really lame detective parts. Like finding a lost cat or something.

Psychic Detective Yakumo

Genre: Crime, Supernatural

Yakumo Saitou was born with different eye colors. His red left eye gave him a special ability to see ghosts and spirits. Being asked for help by Haruka Ozawa, he usses his power to help him solve cases.

I think this has been done a few times. Not in anime, but in live action American shows. I remember hearing about a few shows like this. Like Ghost Whisper or whatever it was called. Hopefully it's not too bad.

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes

Genre: Crime

The story takes place in an imaginary world in "the Age of Dectectives", where private dectives and phantom thieves overwhelm the cities. It's about four girls who aim to be great detectives. 

This sounds like One Piece, but with Detectives instead of Pirates. Might be either really good or really bad. Way to early to judge this one right now.

Karl and the Mysterious Tower

Genre: Comedy(?), Mystery

The story centers around Every morning, noon, and evening, an old timekeeping man ringst he bell in a mysterious tall tower built from a stack of building blocks. However, one day at noon, the tower bell fails to ring - leaving the townspeople confused about when to eat lunch.

My prediction is this is going to be a half season Anime. Something about 12 or 13 episodes. Possibly some OVA's and maybe a Movie. I can't see it being very long. There's not a lot of room for story development from what I know so far.

Battle Spirits: Brave

Genre: Comedy , Parody

Based off a manga about children's trading cards... in AMERICA!

One word: Awesome! I hope this is as good as I think it's going to be. I'm looking forward to a lot of laughs.

Pokemon: Best Wishes!

Genre: Unknown

Based on Pokemon Black & White, from what I know of.

Yeah... I don't know how I feel about this.

Everything else that is coming out is either OVAs, Movies, or 2nd/3rd Seasons to shows that's out already. I wont bother writing reviews on them right now.
