Gantz: The Movie

Putting aside the source material, the movie was just... okay. The dubbing was hurriedness and character development was kind of lacking in some areas. The CGI and the movie props were handled very nicely.


Adapting a very extensive manga like Gantz into a two part feature film, changes are to be expected. So some of the backlash that the film is getting for not following the manga should be a bit more mellowed. But taking into consideration some of the changes they did make, the film could have been better.


Biggest changes made (In my opinion):

-Number of participance in each mission were decreased.

-The Tanaka aliens mission only had one Tanaka alien.

-Kurono is currently job hunting while attending a University.

-Masaru went to juvy for killing his father and his compassion for life is downplayed.

-No brain bombs.

-Kurono's awesome-ness, was no where to be found!


a good 6 out of 10

RIP Chucks...


I had these shoes for only a year and now they're completely demolished. I was thinking about keeping them just for the sake of keeping them, but they kinda look repulsive.

I ran from many dogs ("while looking very masculine mind you") and danced in the bathroom mirror for many hours in these things.

OH! How my New Edition dance moves will suffer so.

I guess its my own fault for their current dilapidated state... or maybe it was al qaeda.

Bandai: Wonder Swan Color

Oh Me! Oh My! How I wanted this Mac Daddy for a long time but I've always been reluctant to buy it. But last month I decided to cough up the money for a Wonder Swan Color, which was around $45-50 on ebay. I also bought two games; Final Fantasy II and One Piece: Grand Battle Swan Colosseum (which cost around $20 each).

Final Verdict:
After two months of owning the wonder swan color, I have only played it about two times. Not to say the games aren't fun, or that I can't understand any of the games text due to it being a Japanese imports, but the wonder swan suffers from have a shitty ass screen. A rapping-ly shitty ass screen, that should burn in the deepest caverns of hell.

THE END!
