Street Fighter 2V (volume one)


I recently decided to get myself an old anime, because I was tired of wait for new shows to release one episode each week. Why’ll looking, I came across Street Fighter II, Vol. 1, an old anime made in the year 1995 (and yes people it not a movie it’s an anime series). The volume 1 I got has 8 episodes; each episode is about 23 minutes.

The anime is about 17 year old Ryu who lives somewhere in Japan (a place with no cities but a lot of trees). One day Ryu gets a letter with a plane ticket from his childhood friend Ken, telling him to come to America and visit. Ryu gets into a plane for the first and visits his friend Ken (did I tell you that can is rich and is a red head in this anime). On his first night in America Ryu gets into a fight and gets bitten up by Guile. After this experience with Guile, Ryu and Ken decide to travel all over the world to fight people like Guile (street fighters).
I found that the Ryu in this anime is completely different from the other Ryu’s, (who are the strong and silent types). This Ryu is not afraid to speak his mind, his more down to earth and his always ready to fight. The fights are amazing for an old anime, full of hardcore fights. I’m glade to say that I found no traces of the dark hadou (all the street fighter movies talk about the dark hadou). Why’ll watch this series I liked the Japanese tracks better, because the Japanese voices added more emotion to the series. Street Fighter II, Vol. 1 has both dubbed and Japanese track with subtitle. For me this was a good anime worth watching.(the number of copies available is limited)

AFRO SAMURAI – RESURRECTION





Summary 

Afro Samurai resurrection is a movie, which is also known as Afro samurai season 2. It’s a sequel to the original series by the same name (Afro samurai). The movie continues after what happened in the first series, where Afro kills anyone who gets in his way to revenge and the number 1 head band. As the series came to an end Afro confronts the owner of the number 1 head band and the person who killed his farther. The movie begins after Afro became owner of the number 1 head band. Losing his will to fight and to kill Afro goes into solitude, leaving his head band by his father's grave. While in solitude Afro is attacked by Sio and Jinno, who take the head band and the skull of his father. Now Afro must start all over again and fight his way back to the top.

DVD Review

I was lucky enough to get the director’s cut version of the movie, which consisted of two discs. The picture quality is pretty good but it does not make an Anime good . The sound in this movie is clear; the music is pretty good too. Now let’s go to the storyline which was great in the beginning and got less exciting towards the end. The only scene I enjoyed was when Afro fought with the new number 2, who had greater skill then him. I felt that the number 2 holder didn’t have to die, because he was only trying to hide the head band to stop the killings. In the end I enjoyed the movie in directors cut; I would give this DVD and movie 6 out of 10.
