KAKURENBO.

You may have seen this interesting new anime movie on Cartoon Network, keep reading for info that Cartoon Network didn't tell us.

This is one of the second short movies I have seen that really fascinated me. Hide And Seek, Kids will disappear. I didn't actually get to see it on Cartoon Network, I had to record it on video tape and watched it the next day. The picture quality of EP video tape is horrible so I was kinda interested in what it would look like in better quality. I ended up going to Central Park Media's site looking for info from a promo I saw on AleinNine, and I found out that they were the distributers of KAKURENBO and that it was available on DVD. This instantly put it on my to get list, and when I was passing buy Suncoast I didn't have any money for any $30 disks so I looked for something cheaper, remembering that U.S. Manga videos are cheaper I searched for KAKURENBO and found it fairly quickly. I have seen it 3 times in English and 2 times in Japanese.

English: They did a really good job at translating the show, and keeping it interesting. Cartoon Network left out all the picture subtitling though as for what the signs said and things. I would have liked more of the words in the pictures translated, but they only did the minimum on the DVD.

Japanese: The Japanese was much better than the English but I wouldn't suggest the Japanese if you don't like to read subtitles or if you don't know Japanese well. Two interesting things. . . . One, in the Japanese the main character is the voice of Naruto from Naruto, and Two, in the subtitles they mention that Oni means Demon in Japanese but when playing the game of Tag Oni means "it". So at the end when the kid says "Your the demon" he's also saying "Your it" and when the Demon says "Your it" to the kid it is also saying "Your the demon". Knowing that made it much cooler.

Reasons to buy it on DVD even though you have seen it all on Cartoon Network
1. You can see it in Japanese
2. It's in Wide screen, Cartoon Network cut down the picture.
3. The signs are subtitled in English and in Japanese.
4. The 50 minutes of bonus video and behind the scenes.

Someone said I needed to do some reviews on some newer anime so here we go

King Of Bandits Jing In Seventh Heaven.

As far as I know this is only a 3 episode OVA, if you like Jing then download the torrent and go to Anime Keep and get the AC3 codec.

This series definitely meets up with the first series, I missed the original Kir Royal song but everything was great. The music fit so well. If you don't do drugs but want to know what it's like to be on drugs, make sure to check this out and the original King Of Bandit Jing.
He Can Steal your heart, he can steal your time, and now he can steal your dreams.

" (1)The First and foremost important thing to remember is. Never land yourself here twice (2), or run out of your rations thrice (3), for you are surrounded on four sides (4), by guards whose rounds take less than five (5), all in a place not fit for six (6), much less it's name of Seventh Heaven. (7)"
