Anime – is anything but childisch entertainment!

Most people here, in the Czech republic, when hear about anime, imagine Pokémons.

But anime is far more complex than this one and as every art comprises from all quality stuff – ranging from excellent to awfull…

I don’t wanna write about anime and its history – there are people who are entitled to this much more than me.

I would like to show you some of my favourite series – not all of them, of course, since there is not enough time or space for that.

So – lets begin:

Full metal panic I., II., Fumoffu

This serie is really something. A teenager, profi mercenary comes to Japan to protect one girl. He becomes her schoolmate and begin his “undercover” mission. But he imagines “undercover” quite different, than we do. His first day of the school – he comes inside and have lots of guns, granades and knives hidden. If he suspects that someone broke into his locker, he blow it up by charge, rather than simply open it. :-).

It is really funny serie and I give you a little taste of it – a fan cut from YouTube:

It is really just for show, it is understandable, that when you don’t know the plot, you won’t have as much fun as you could have otherwise.

Ghost in the shell I., II.

A legendary serie, inspiration of the Matrix creators. From rather dark and creepy future, where most of the people are rather cyborgs, with artificial brains and bodies.

This serie has everything: great plot, detail characters, fun, action, and so..

Just to show – Intro:

And the last one:

Hellsing

The main character is a vampire – Alucard (try to read it in reversed way!). He works for secret organization Hellsing, located in the UK and he eliminates all of the “hell spawns”. Really cool character and with his gun, he can perform really effectively :-).

Here is the intro:

Well and that is all! It was only a little, but if you liked it, there is a whole world of interesting movies and series, which waits just for you! Welcome to the world of imagination!

Bye

Radiohead – alternative mainstream

OK people! The time of coffee break is here and thus, I offer you another band to explore!

Won’t be writing here the introduction I wrote on my czech blog, since this is international version and therefore, it would be meaningless and for foreigners irrelevant.

So – I love this band – really. I grew on its songs. And if there are those who miss them, I offer you a quick introduction 🙂

Here we go!

The first song – legendary and heart-catching Pyramid Song:

Another one from the same album – You and whose army – the ending of this song gives me a real chill:

The third one – a somewhat older video – Street spirit (fade out):

And the last – famous song originated from three different ones – Paranoid Android:

So – did you like it?

Air

Hi again!

The weather is still not as nice as I would like it to be, there is no deadline pressing me into steady work :-), so I decided to share a few song of my next favourite band – AIR 🙂

Don’t wanna describe here this band – there are some links at the end of this post serving for this purpose.

Just want to show you some of my most favourite songs and hopefully, show to some of you, who don’t know this great band, these artists.

So, here we go!

The first song – The Vagabond – if there will be some of you, who has a feeling, that the voice and partially the music as well are very similar to Beck – yup, you are right – it’s him!

The second one – Don’t be light – nice thing and quite different from the previous one.

Let us continue – All I need – beautiful music with wonderful voice.

And the last one is – Run.

Ok, I hope that you liked them. And, if at least one of you find him(her)self interested in this band, I am glad.

Koop – sweet music with wonderful voice…

Well, there is a really awful weather outside my office, so I decided to introduce to you another of my favourite bands.

So: If you got 2 great musicians plus Japanese singer with really astonishing voice, what will you get? – Yes – KOOP 🙂

Koop comprises of 2 Swedish musicians and Japanese singer Yukimi Nagano. All of them make a music, which is often labelled as “electronic jazz”, but in my opinion, it should be marked as “jazz flavoured with electronics” :-).

These two markers look like they have the same meaning, but they have not.

Their music is created using live and real musical instruments and thereafter they are slightly flavoured by electronics or samples…

Just to show you, here are two videos of their, and my favourite, songs :-).

The first one – Summer Sun:

And second one – Koop Islands Blues:

So, I hope that I attract some of you, at least a little 🙂
Have a nice day
RB
