Today Japan was remembered

Trograin — Sun, 11 Mar 2012 20:39:34 +0000

One year has passed since that day when I woke up to a shock, Japan has just went through a massive disaster that will have consequences for its people a long time to come. I am reading bloggers and news media all saying that Japan is once again rebuilding itself, that they are well equipped for rebuilding. This is what I see in the text, of course there is about the huge disaster, the amounts of lost souls to the wrath of nature, and yet I cant help to notice such things as its good at rebuilding. Peoples life’s where lost to the wrath of nature, nothing we could have done. Japan and its people are all well trained for disasters that have to do with earthquakes and tsunamis, most likely better well trained then any other nation, and yet I feel a huge pang in my heart when I think of what happened to people on the other side of this planet. Before that I barely blinked an eye when nature disasters happened all over the world, but Japan has always been near my heart and I guess it opened up my eyes for what it means to go through such a disaster, even though I myself where not even close to it, living in Finland. I kept a silent minute for the memory of the lost life’s, like many other all across the world, together with the people of Japan. I hope that life will somehow start making sense to the survivors in the worse afflicted areas in north japan, this dude will keep them in his thoughts at least.

Steamboy

Steamboy I first watched Steamboy few years back before I had finished my bachelor degree in sociology. That was before I was even thinking on a more higher scientifically level then I am doing unfortunately now a days. Just like some characters in Steamboy, I tend to see possibilities in new discoveries first and then my ethical side and moral side kicks in. Fortunately it kicks in real fast and usually with force as well, something that can not be said about certain characters in this movie. Listen to the podcast and you will hear what I have to say about it. Great movie, I suggest everyone to watchSteamboy, it has a lot to teach a lot of scientists out there in this world, in other words, stop seeing possibilities ONLY and USE your heart!

.Hack – The Movie Soundtrack – Hikari o Atsumete by the Artist Kokia. Just got hold of this Single. I usually listen to fast, harsh type of music, be it electronic or heavy metal. But from time to time I come across music that simple makes my heart stop, my breath to slow down and I can simple feel how I am relaxing with a soft smile on my lips. This single is such one. Jpop is one thing to listen to but this, this one is worth to savor like one savors a good red wine. I will be hunting down more of her albums since I think I have fallen in love with her sound, and the soothing voice of hers. iTunes – Music – KOKIA Preview and download top songs and albums by KOKIA on the iTunes Store. Songs by KOKIA start at just 0,99 €.

So, Pod Casting at last. I created a pod Cast a long time ago, I think it is now over two years ago and had been forgetting all about it until recently. I re listened to it and got freaked out at my own voice to be honest, the quality was not the best even, worse then the iPad2 internal Mic to be honest . Even though I did not like to hear my own voice I decided to actually talk about anime the way I see it and post it on my site. This first one is only an Introduction to my Pod Casting on the site and it is only six minutes long. Pod Cast, live from Alempijevic.com

Eureka 7

Trograin — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 16:28:07 +0000

Eureka 7 is a anime series about adults being cruel to young ones, about love and about the will to live no matter what. This pod cast was created over two years ago and there for the audio is a bit… worse then the audio on the newer ones. Also this Pod cast was the absolutely first one ever that I had created and I was nervous to say the least. Even though I was nervous I spoke about an anime series that truly caught my eye. I let you listen to what I have to say about it and I suggest everyone to take a look at the follow up series that is soon to come out: Eureka Seven Astral Ocean. Featured image found at: Wikipedia

Gantz The Movie

Trograin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 20:53:18 +0000

Gantz The movie Two years ago i finally found the guts to check out the Gantz series. WHy did I have to find the gutz you ask your self? Well, the reason is very simple; I do not like scary movies or horror or anything towards that area. How can that be you ask yoru self, you train karate, you are not the smallest person around and you even look like you have a pissed of face all the time: well, there is a small boy inside that body, a boy that is very emotional and love to cry when sad things happens and he is not ashamed of saying that out loud Now Gantz actually got me to hickup a bit to be honest, it was Not what I thought it would be. I will try not to spoil anything for those o you that have not seen Gantz out there since I dislike Reviewing things I have seen ( I actually dislike reading reviews by thid party other then the movie makers explaining the movie it self ). Gantz does it best, and succeds in showing how even the most normal person can have and usually do have thoughts that can be considered less nice. We are all more or less guilty of atleast once in our life ( usually atleast once an hour or so) think a thought that is self centered, egoistic, alianated, and in some cases straight out not nice at all!. Gantz is in my eyes as a sociologist great at showing how people interact with each others on the most basic level, where all diplomacy, all basic human niceness ( is that a word? ) have been taken away and we stand there naked infront of our selves, having to deal with what we see in the deepest parts of our soul. These are the words that explain the movie from the movie itself: After trying to rescue a man on the subway tracks, two teens wake up in a room dominated by a mysterious black sphere that sends them to hunt down and kill aliens hiding on Earth. I have yett to see this movie but something tells me I might have nightmares after I have seen it, still I simple have to see it since the anime series was a masterpiece in understanding the naked human being when he/she have been put in an impossible situation.

I have a for a long time now been enjoying photos of Tokyou and japan over the internet so I thought to give you a great suggestion of a site that vloger and blogger Hiko Saemon that I am following was suggesting. Shoottokyo.com The greatest way of getting a glimpse into another culture is truly through photographs. Luckely enough there are greate talents out there in the world doing just that for us that crave to enjoy Japan, taking a lot of great photos for us. If one needs more photos that are beautiful as well, one can accidently drop by this lovely site: Japan Dave. His photos has a magic behind them, capturing something more then the eye can see naked. He does not take photos specifically of Tokyou though but from all around Japan and if you want to you can buy beautiful photos from him as well.

Eureka Seven Astral Ocean

Trograin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:58:19 +0000

A dream come true, a Sequel series from Eureka Seven is about to hit us with full force in April. I will let this article from Anime News Network speak for itself: Yūichi Katō to draw manga version of sequel series in Monthly Shōnen Ace starting in January. The official website for the Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean (Eureka Seven Ao) project announced on Friday in Japan that a television anime version will air starting in April 2012. The anime studio BONES will return to animate the sequel series. The February issue of Kadokawa Shoten‘s Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine is announcing on Monday that Eureka Seven Ao, a manga sequel to the Eureka Seven television anime series, will launch in the next issue on January 26. The “real mecha epic” will center around a boy named Ao who “set ‘destiny’ in motion again when he held the ‘power.’” Artist Yūichi Katō is drawing the manga based on the original story by the anime studio BONES. BONES created the original 2005-2006 Eureka Seven television anime series, and the series inspired the 2009 anime film Eureka Seven – good night, sleep tight, young lovers. Bandai Entertainment released both anime projects in North America. Bandai Entertainment also released the main Eureka Seven manga adaptation by Jinsei Kataoka and Kazuma Kondou, and the Eureka Seven: Gravity Boys & Lifting Girl manga spinoff by Miki Kizuki. Thanks to Sceleris and braves for the news tip. [Via Moon Phase] Image © 2012 BONES/Project Eureka Ao ・ MBS
