i guess its quite a bad time to get hooked onto anime again? yup, especially with the prelims and As drawing closer.. but i can't help it. Recently, AXN started showing Ranma 1/2 again but i didnt watch it at first coz i thought it was a repeat broadcast. but OMG! they were showing new seasons! Season 5 and season 6..irresistible! watching it can really lighten up your mood, lol. i really admire the creator of Ranma, i mean a show with people who can turn into pandas, pigs, cats and ducks..who else could have ever made such a hilarious anime?

reminds me of the past. i first began watching anime on AXN about 2 or 3 years ago or so. the first anime i ever watched was ShadowSkill. it was this really cool martial arts flick, which got me interested in other animes. eventually i watched Cooking Master Boy, Grander Musashi and Vandread. and then i watched Strange Dawn which to me is the coolest anime on earth. it actually tackles many controversial issues like war, politics, even rape. and the plot is really well-refined, with alot of emotion and suspense. the only shortcoming is that its only 10 episodes long, so everything happens really fast. the thing is, the creator didnt embark on Season 2, because Strange Dawn (Season Premiere) received very very bad reviews. i believe its because most of the critics who watched it didn't understand the plot. in fact, i had to watch it twice, before i fully understood the plot.

nowadays, there's been a proliferation of anime in the market. the thing that irks me the most is that there's a whole load of westernized and americanized animes which are really screwed up. even animes are falling prey to the webs of commercialism now.. sigh. i just hope there will be more creators like those of Ranma and Strange Dawn. animes that are unique, and with a personal touch added- yumm.
