Naruto Wallpaper: Hatake Kakashi 1

This is the first Naruto Wallpaper of the copy ninja Hatake Kakashi. On the right side there is a high quality image of Hatake Kakashi used which has quite a thick shadow behind it. The overall background theme of the Naruto Wallpaper is sky blue and on the left side there is a sort of film strip which has different images of Hatake Kakashi blended together well; they also have a blue colour to them.

Moving your vision to the centre there is a picture of the Sharingan and to complement the red there is a picture of Hatake Kakashi on the left of the eye, covered with blood. Overall this is a very interesting Naruto Wallpaper.

Abenobashi deserves more critical acclaim

It's a shame that Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi passed under the radar of so many anime critics, because it is one of the most original shows of all time.
Every part of this show shines with vivacious energy and animation. The entire span of the series is a big mind trip. In the same way that Paranoia Agent plays tricks on you with its scare tactics, Abenobashi fools you into thinking that this series will follow a tragic turn of events.

Yet, it's not a series about the tragic human condition, where all people have to die at some point or another. The show is all about a boy's coming of age. He learns how to turn his best moments into reality.

It certainly takes a while for the main character to fully understand every part of his dream world. However, this show is one of the few pieces of animation that takes you on a joy ride, to try and understand how movies are really supposed to enlighten us.

Somehow, the main characters change their real world into a culmination of shared experiences with faces they love. The Abenobashi characters cannot settle with accepting things as they are--they have to take action in order to turn their best dreams into reality. The final ending is a surprisingly hopeful vision, that we hardly ever see in an anime.

Many other series have tried to follow the Abenobashi formula, but failed. Kyoto Animation tried to pull off a similar storyline in their series, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. This saga, Endless Eight, was a hideous story arc, where the characters kept repeating the exact same events in every episode of the story.

Only Abenobashi truly nailed the endless dream formula. If only other anime shows would follow suit with this show, because it's just that good.

Naruto Wallpaper: Uchiha Sasuke 1

Well this is the first Naruto Wallpaper we have had which features Uchiha Sasuke. In this Naruto Wallpaper there is a watery type of energy emanating from Uchiha Sasuke and he image behind he only has two of the three marks on his Sharingan (indicating the un-matured Sharingan.

There is a nice blue theme to this Naruto Wallpaper but for me there isn't enough done on the wallpaper but then again it serves as an excellent simple Uchiha Sasuke Naruto Wallpaper.

DVD Classic: Never-ending Adventures in J-pop worlds


"Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi" will astound anime fans with a journey that literally takes two young kids on a never-ending trip through the Japanese pop culture universe.

This series has had an awkward release history in America. Although it first aired in 2003, it took two years until Geneon released this series in the U.S. Even then, I don't think this show received the attention that it truly deserves.

Thankfully, ADV Films re-released this series last year. I had the fortunate thrill of seeing it on The Anime Network's website. To say the least, this is one of the most creative anime shows I've ever seen.

The show begins in the Abenobashi shopping district in Osaka. Two teenagers, Satoshi "Sashi" Imamiya and Arumi Asahina, are spending their last summer playing in the empty streets. Their parents' businesses were forced to close, as part of the redevelopment of the Abenobashi shopping arcade. Unfortunately, Arumi's family is also planning on moving to Hokkaido, as soon as her grandfather closes his shop.

Their summer of fun takes a tragic turn, when Asahina's grandfather almost dies after slipping on his rooftop. Asahina's entire family is planning on moving to Hokkaido as soon as he recovers. This could be the last day that Sashi and Asahina can play together.

On that day, though, the town completely turns upside down. The group of elderly people exercising in the park transforms into mushrooms. The buildings fall apart like cardboard cutouts, revealing a magical role-playing video game world in some European pasture.

Thus, the two children begin their treacherous journey through the magical other-dimensions of Abenobashi.

This series is amazing for its immensely inventive visuals. The show jams in an astonishing load of parodies on video games, robot television shows and martial arts series. Anime fans are bound to laugh at anything and everything.

They'll especially enjoy the insane antics in the third episode, where Asahina loses her panties to a goblin creature. Near the end of the episode, the goblin somehow turns into the mask for some gigantic robot ship with a demon head. And for some reason, that head still has Asahina's panties on it.

"Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi" is literally as unpredictable as episode five in FLCL. It is riotously funny, like a hyper episode of Shin-Chan. Yet, there's also a subversive tone of despair throughout the journey. As much as Sashi enjoys the Abenobashi worlds, the two kids are still trapped inside these wacky J-pop dream worlds with little hope of reaching their home.

I have yet to reach the ending, but this series is truly buried treasure. Unfortunately, I've heard that most of the special DVD features are only in the individual volume boxes from ADV. Regardless of which set you buy, you have to see this series. It's one of the few shows that will make anyone laugh.

Even if the English dubs put in some awkward Western cowboy accent for the main characters, this is series is golden. Check it out at least once, because you won't regret it.

Naruto Wallpaper: Haruno Sakura 1

With winter coming soon I thought that this Naruto Wallpaper was quite appropriate since we have Haruno Sakura dressed up in a cape like garment to protect her from the elements. The text used towards the bottom-right corner is simply white which is quite bland but it is quite striking in contrast with the darker background. If you move your vision to the right side there are five mini squares, each in which there is an image of Haruno Sakura. This adds a difference to this Naruto Wallpaper, simple but it's big enough to make it stand out.

The images of Haruno Sakura behind are blended in to a good degree but I don't think the shadow behind the Haruno Sakura render on the left does the wallpaper much good. Overall it is a well thought out Naruto Wallpaper with good renders.

Naruto Wallpaper: Uchiha Itachi 1

Well we might aswell kick off with arguably one of the most powerful characters in the Naruto series and undoubtedly his name by now you should have noticed is Uchiha Itachi. His eyes are red due to the trait he has inherited from his clan (the Uchiha whom he decimated to test his strength, sparing only his brother).

Now moving on to the first Naruto Wallpaper review. There is a sense of dark power from the bleack colour which is used mixing it in with the red gives it a sort of dark and luxurious elegance which is increased by the cloudy mist above Uchiha Itachi's head. The gravestones could to me mean one of two things; either the representation of the mass murder of his clan or one of his techniques.

Overall I like the image of Uchiha Itachi which has been used and the darkness which has been created is quite a good effect for this Naruto Wallpaper.

Anime streaming review: Fun slapstick routines about slave labor

"He is My Master" shows off some funny slapstick routines for a fan service anime, as long as you're able to stand the cruel master-and-slave relationships.

This new Gainax show is a heinous slice-of-life comedy that grew on me as I kept watching. It focuses on two middle school girls, Izumi and Mitsuki Sawatari, who run away from their home to find a new place to live.

After numerous homeowners reject them from taking residence, they eventually find a humongous mansion. They take pity on the the 14-year-old owner of the house, Yoshitaka Nakabayashi, whose parents died in a car accident.

They agree to work for him. However, they don't realize that this boy is a cruel master who wants the girls to work as his personal maids. The only remaining women's outfits in the house are racy maid outfits with short skirts, strapless tops and garter belts.


Although the first episodes are incredibly mean comedies with loads of fan service gags, the series packs in plenty of laughs for what it's worth. For starters, the girls own a ravenous pet alligator named Pochi, who always wants to eat Izumi's clothes. Most of the best jokes involve the cute, but ravenous reptile.

As if this wasn't enough, the boy even holds a demented contest with Izumi to be the first to catch Pochi. Don't even ask how this show got to this point. In the last parts of this episode, Izumi breaks all of the master's expensive pots and artifacts by throwing them at Pochi. The master's expression is priceless as he grimaces through this entire scene.
If you're looking for a quick laugh, consider renting "He is My Master" for Netflix. The show will lighten anyone's day with some devious visual jokes involving fan service. And there's even some hints of romance between Izumi and Nakabayashi, in spite of all the chaotic chemistry between the two.

The show is also available on The Anime Network.
