If you think these are real, you have so been TROLLED

My friend Ty linked two upcoming anime charts that are clearly major trolls. Chart 1 is a Fall Anime list and chart 2 is for the spring. I don't feel like formatting this blog all fancily but here are some links to the few anime on these charts that have some evidence behind them but most of the 'anime' listed on these charts are just dreams of otaku who want their favorite manga to have an anime adaptation.

Synopsis:

Edward and Alphonse Elric are two alchemist brothers searching for the legendary catalyst called the Philosopher's Stone, a powerful object which would allow them to recover their bodies (which were lost in an attempt to bring their mother back to life through alchemy). Born in the village of Resembool from the country of Amestris (アメストリス Amesutorisu^?), the two brothers lived there with their mother. Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, their mother Trisha Elric died of a terminal illness, leaving the Elric brothers alone. After their mother's death, Edward became determined to bring her back through the use of alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials. They researched Human Transmutation, a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. However, this attempt failed, ultimately resulting in the loss of Edward's left leg and Alphonse's entire body. In a desperate effort to save his brother, Edward sacrificed his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. Some days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visited the Elric brothers, and told Edward to become a member of the State Military of the country to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm were replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, created for him by his close family friends Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako.

Edward then became a State Alchemist (国家錬金術師 Kokka Renkinjutsushi^?), an alchemist employed by the State Military of Amestris, which infamously annihilated most of the Ishbalan race (Ishbal) in the past decade. Becoming a State Alchemist enables Edward to use the extensive resources available to State Alchemists, but it also turns him into what many call a "dog of the military". His more friendly relationship with Mustang however, whom he reports to and who recruited him, allows the brothers freedom to search for the Philosopher's Stone as part of Edward's research, as each State Alchemist is expected to independently research new things which may be of a use to the State Military of Amestris. The brothers set off in search of the Philosopher's Stone as a means to restore their bodies. Throughout their journey, they meet many antagonists, including those who are willing to do anything to obtain the Philosopher's Stone; Scar, one of the few surviving Ishbalans, who seeks vengeance on the State Alchemists for the destruction of his race; and thehomunculi, a group of human-like creatures who carry pieces of the Philosopher's Stone inside themselves, and from it derive the ability to survive almost any harm.

As the story progresses, Edward and Alphonse discover the vast expansion of Amestris was the result of the homunculi, who created and secretly control the State Military. The homunculi and much of the high-ranking military officers are commanded from behind the curtains by the creator of the homunculi, a man simply known as "Father", who gained immortality through a Philosopher's Stone, which he created by tricking Hohenheim centuries before the series' timeline. He plans to use Amestris as a gigantic transmutation circle in order to transmute the entire country for reasons unknown to the Elrics. When Edward and Alphonse discover Father's plans, they, along with other members of the State Military, set out to defeat him.

As the forces collide, one by one, the remaining homonculi are defeated and Central city's troops are enlightened about the truth of the situation. However, Father temporarily harvests all the souls in Amestris, numbering several million, and using that power traps "God" and gains immense power. However, due to Hohenheim's earlier actions, the souls are brought back to their bodies by their spirits, and Father becomes unstable. Everyone joins in to fight Father, forcing him to use more and more of his stone. He is finally defeated by Edward with his original arm, Al having sacrificed himself to bring it back. After Father is trapped within the Truth, revealed to be God, Ed sacrifices his ability to use alchemy to bring Al back in his original body. The Elrics return to Resembool, but two years later, they separate in order to repay the people who helped in their journey. [wikipedia]

Manga Spotlight [text ver] [1] Butterflies, Flowers

I was asked on NewType Zone what I thought about this manga and my answer was simply "this manga is a guilty pleasure" because in all honesty it truly is. I picked up the first volume of this series because I was looking for a smut series (I had just finished reading Hot Gimmick), but I was expecting more of a story... but all I got was "he used to be my servant, and now I think I like him >//<". Oh well, what can I expect from a smut series? Hot Gimmick was meant to be a smart smut, but this one from the first 3 volumes I can tell is meant to be smut for smuts sake. I don't see the story getting any better in the next 5 volumes but like I said, it's a guilty pleasure so for sure I'll more than likely finish it.

Length: 8 vol

(all released in Japan)

(3 in the US as of 8/'10)

Synopsis:

Choko Kuze is the sensible daughter of a venerable family who went bankrupt. She joins a real estate company as an entry-level office worker, but her eccentric boss is harder on her than anyone else in the company! After hearing him inadvertently call her "milady," she realizes he was the young servant boy she knew as a child. At work he's a tyrant, but after hours he insists on treating her like a lady of the nobility. Is romance even possible for a couple locked in such a crazy role reversal?

[Anime of the Week] Koi Kaze (8/1-7/2010)

Warning, this is an anime with a theme of incest.

Runtime: 23min/ep

Rating: 16+

Yet, the feelings in Koushirou's heart...

[Summer 2010 Anime] Initial Impressions [Part 1]

Impressions: Going into this anime, I was expecting hard core pantsu shots and soft core porn moments... I was pretty much right xD This anime is based on a manga by a hentai artist. Overall, the first 3 episodes aren't bad. It is a Prodiction IG anime so it is beautiful, but the story isn't all that great. The main girl character is a cry baby, and the main guy is typical. I already dislike that teacher introduced in episode 3. That's about all I have to say other than that HILARIOUS moment in episode one where that girl is pushed down the stairs and while the zombies are bitting her, her stomach has a lot of bowl movements... wait, that's more gross.

Gunna Continue Watching: for sure.

Impressions: Wow... episode one was crud yet hilarious then episode 2 was just plain gross! I'm still a bit hesitant to continue with this one...... despite episode one being so funny.

Gunna Continue Watching: >.>

Impressions: =D Oh ho ho, it's the anime to replace that hole in my heart Nyan Koi left! It's like a mix of Dearz and Chobits... but this one is actually pretty good based on the 2 episodes I've seen. The first episode starts out with a pretty cool action scene.

Gunna Continue Watching: Yes

Impressions: Eh... it's interesting. It kind of has that Ghost Hound feeling but it lacks. Ghost Hound was compelling, this is just trying a bit too much to be a horror.

Gunna Continue Watching: For now

[Drama of the Week] Aquarian Age (7/18-31/2010)

First off, I'd like to apologize for an almost 2 week hiatus with my blog. I just got a bit lazy with the blog and a bit busy with finding a job and going on vacation this past weekend.

not to be confused with Aquarian Age the anime. Both are based on a card game, but the drama movie is vastly different from the anime and the ova.

Runtime: 1hr 30mins

Synopsis:

The story focuses on several high school boys who discover that they inherited latent genetic traits — among other things, wings that sprout out of their backs. They soon find themselves caught in a millennia-old war, with each representing one of several different factions.
