Hunter X Hunter

Hey Guys,

welcome to one of my favorite Manga series finally on DVD in Germany – Hunter x Hunter. There are two versions of this series. Nippon Animation produced in the year 1999 62 episodes of the Manga-Hit. Personally I like the old series more than the new on from 2011. Madhouse produced them and made 148 episode which includes every Arc from the Manga. Here we are talking about the new version of Hunter X Hunter.

Better than nothing?

Like I said before I love the first version of the series. It is not sooo close to the Manga than the new one. The old series played a little more with the scenario. I loved the other parts of the exam. The new version is not bad. The Animation is great and the story is great too. How could it not? Because this new version is a lot closer to the original than before – sadly they kinda left the whole part with Kaito out . We see the characters we love in exactly the same situations, with the same reaction that we loved. So the story is still great and made me want to reread the Manga.

Gon and his amazing journey

Hunter x Hunter is the story about Gon and his friends. Gon is a young boy who wants to find his father. Kaito is a Hunter Gon meets and who tells him that his father is a Hunter and still alive, but that he doesn’t want to be found. So Gon declares that he will become a Hunter and find his father. On this way Gons nice and also a little naive character makes it easy for him to find friends. Once a friend Gon will give everything for them.
In the Anime sometimes you think ‘Gon your are a Mary Stu’. But you just have to love him.

Friends for ever

Gon is not alone on his journey. On the first test he meets Leorio and Kuparika. Leorio wants to become a Hunter to get money. Really fast you find out that Leorio has a good heart and is a lot more than he lets on. From all the people we met in this adventure Leorio is the most normal person but that doesn’t stop him. Kuparika is the only survivor of his clan. He wants to become a Hunter to get revenge. These three built a team from the start and I love them and the trust and respect they develop really fast for each other.
Later there is another person that becomes a part of the team – Killuah. Killuah is in the same age as Gon and likes him from the start. He comes from a family of assassin and his already a really good one. He gets really fast bored. When he meets the group Killuah wants to be more than an assassin.

Watching or not

I just have the first Box-Set with 13 episodes. But they are good and solid. The characters are great and have amazing chemistry between them. I think that the Anime is worth watching it. Maybe you like the new one more than the old one or the other way around. But one thing is clear the story is amazing. So watch the series or read the Manga. The story is totally amazing. I love four babies and are happy to follow their adventures on their way to fulfill their dreams.

Detektiv Conan/ Closed Case: Movie 19

Hey Guys,

i am a big fan of Detektiv Conan or in english i think it is called Closed Case. I fall in love with it at the first episode and started to read the Manga. Now i have 88 volumes of the Manga standing in my cupboard and 19th movies – okay to are still missing because i wanted to have the special edition. But i think you can totally see that i love Conan. I don’t get tired of it like many of my friends. I love it still the same – when not even more – when i first watched it. For me didn’t lost any of his magic. A few characters – especially Ran – are problematic in a way that she is a really sweet girl and you would totally like her if this story wouldn’t play with out time. Her is getting on your nerves with Conan and Shinichi and she never get’s it. That is one problem of the lenght of it but everything else i love. The most of course Heiji and Kaito Kid (a pair i ship instat of Shinichi and Kaito). I started even watching Kaitos own Anime Kaito Kid/Magic Kaito. The movies are always nice to watch and like you all can think now the ones with Kaito Kid are my favorites.

Still nice but doesn’t satisfy

Normaly the only point at the Conan movies i don’t really like (but just because i can’t japanese) are the quiz of the Professor. They are always word quiz that only function in japanese. But this movie is a little disapointing. I have high standards and the Conan Movies got better from Movie to Movie. Sadly this was a step back. The story is quite nice. It is about the sunflowers of Van Gogh (here can learn something xP).
Than Kaito Kid seems to want to steal the sunflowers that Sonokos grandfather bought or not?
Because is not stealing them. He is just making a big show out of it. That everyone would think that he is just promoting Sonokos grandfather.
But until than everything is fine. Kid got a show and we love him for it and when he came on board as Shinchi we all know that this will be fun. Than the let down starts.

Spoilers – Conans failure

Kaito Kid is a kind of a person that is acting like he has a code. He is only stealing juwels and he is always giving them back (without money). Everyone who nows him apart from Detektiv Conan/Closed Case, knows that he is only stealing us Kaito Kid because he search for a special juwel, which was the reason for death of is father. He wants to find them. This is his motivation. Of course he also has fun with it but this stands behind it. Kaito Kid is also someone who will try to save everyone he can and Conan totally know that. He made Kid at so many occasions. Kaito Kid saved Conans life on regular basis. He came to a wizard meeting to stop a murder. This kind of guy is Kid and Conan knows that.
So why his he not knowing that something totally different is going on? Kaito Kid stealing a picture? Kaito Kid should be responisble for an exploision a plane? That is stupid and Conan should know that. Conan should also know that Kid would not want money. He should know that something different is going on but he doesn’t. He take the whole movie to find out what we knows from the start. Kaito is not stealing the picture, he is protecting them and something totally different is going on there. The whole freaking movie. Kaito is acting as Shinichi. This alone should tell Conan that something is going on.
Also the whole case doesn’t get closed by Conan. No Kaito is telling him everything that is going on. So he is just telling everyone what Kid told him. That is a detektiv… also the last quiz of Kid was quite obvious. With all the hints to the apostels and the picture of the communion from Da Vinci. He should have getting behind the quiz earlier. The only good thing about this is that Kid is seeing at the same and tells Conan that he thought that Conan would come behind the quiz faster.

The movie should wear the name Detektiv Conan/Closed Case it should be called Kaito Kid. Because he did all the work. Closed the case, got the evidence, saved the pictures and saved Ran…and Conan just ran after him without even having a clue what really is going on there.

Watching or not (still with spoilers)

So yeah watch it for Kaito Kid, but still one point left that i dislike. The solution is unsatisfied. The motive of the murderer is quite stupid… i mean really stupid…
Also the way Kaito Kid found out about what is going on is not quite satisfied. But this can also be that the translation wasn’t quite right or not clear enough. But in german it sounds like Kid got an Whats Up acount as Kaito Kid and everybody can call him and give him jobs.

The only thing that would made sense would be if he got the job from his butler and he wanted to steal the pictures for him and when he researched and spoted everything out he found out about the other thing. It is not the best solution, it still doesn’t make totally sense but better than someone leaving him a voice mail…

A silent voice (Koe no Katachi)

Hey Guys,

i want to tell you about the one Manga i bought on the Connichi that was for me the Manga of the year – A silent Voice. Normaly i don’t write about Manga. I don’t know if you can buy the Manga in your country, but i will inform me. So why do i write about this one, because this one is special. This one is breaking my heart, gives me hope and shows me how cruel the world is – how cruel kids are. This is not a fantasy, horror or scifiction it is not over the top dramatic. It is real life.

What is it about

It goes about a girl. This girl is really really strong – not in a physical way but in any other way. She is deaf. When we first met her in the story she is really young. She visit primary school and kids are cruel. She got mopped is a too soft word for it. The main actor is a young boy. He is weak and mainly just bored. When she came into their class. Everything changed. They had problems in lessions. Because she needed to much time to write her answer down in the talk round. Everyone in the class found special and thought that she was the problem. Also i must say that the teacher doesn’t handle her well. One of the teacher is making it worse because he make it seems like it is her fault.
So this one boy choose do to what everyone else was thinking. After he started mopping her everyone joined him. This is were the story starts. We follow these two people through her life. We see how she is dealing with what life is throwing at her and we see how he handles what he did to her.

This is about forgiveness

This story is not making him the bad boy. I mean i really don’t liked him very much obviously. But after he got the fault for everything that happend to her is life changed alot. He understood what he did to her and doesn’t know who he should life with that knowledge. When he met her again. We see they strength this girl has. She never gives anyone the fault. She doesn’t want to hurt people, she doesn’t want revenge. She has strength to forgive people. This girl handles life so much better than anyone else. It is so sad to see her sister and mother trying to protect her, when she don’t even need it. The way her mother treated her… and don’t understand how strong her daugther is. It is life in all his form. This is a story about a really strong girl.

Information

The story can be watched as Anime (which i didn’t watched) on crunchyroll.
Also it was published in America by Kodansha, in France by Edition Ki-oon, in spain by Milky Way Ediciones, italy by Edizioni Star Comics and in china by Tong Li Publishing. So go read it.

Connichi Special 1: Garden of Words

This was the first Movie i watched on the Connichi. I think everyone knows Ghibli (Howls Moving Castle, Spirited Away and so on). I love that films, because of the athmosphere, the music and the amazing landscape. Makoto Shinkai is handled as the new Hayao Miyazaki so i had to watch it.

Before i tell you something about the Story i will tell you about the for me really important thing. The picture in the Movie, the whole movie, the landscape, the rain everything is really beautifull. He knows how to created pictures. together with really amazing music it createds an amazing athmosphere. The rain and the music make it sad, full of hope and dreams.

This is not a funny film, it is not really an very sad film. The main-mood is just a bit sad and sometimes a bit depressing, but like i said also filled with hopes and dreams. So yeah it is not a film to have a nice evening. This is an serious theme. It doesn’t give you right or wrong. It doesn’t tell you how they end up. Their just showing you a part of two lifes. Nothing more and nothing less. There is no action, not much talk, you can say nothing much happend in that will. But i like him. Not so much that i think that i have to buy him so i can watch him again and again, but so much that i am happy that i watched him.

So knows let me tell a little about the Story. There is student that have the dream to make shoes. Everyday it rains he skip the lessions in school to go in the park. There he meets a young woman and they began to meet there everytime it rains. I don’t want to tell more because than you don’t have to watch it anymore.

I bought other films of him. If you want i can write about them too. Until next time 😉
