A new week, a new ESH Podcast Episode. This week the ladies talk zombies and statutory vampire rape with their takes on Deep Silver's action-survival-horror-RPG Dead Island and FUNimation's Dance in the Vampire Bund.
Finish what you started...
I Am Deadly
Time for a new podcast episode, and once again, we are nearly all anime in this one. Starting with NinJaSistah's recap and recommendations on the FUNimation release of Corpse Princess (Shikibane Hime)
Finish what you started...
Let me tell you all a story, a story about Freezing.
I apologize for leaving this show off of my anime preview. I only covered shows which were being offered for free, and through legal outlets. To my surprise, Freezing is available through Funimation screening, thereby making it also available on Hulu.
Freezing is a story set in a time where aliens have invaded the planet and it's up to girls given special abilities to stop them. Our main character is Satellizer El Bridget, the "Untouchable Queen" who has been undefeated in combat. She is one of the many girls who attend a school where these female soldiers are trained.
If you're dying for a horror-themed programming to watch once you're done running wild on Halloween, you might want to jump on an anime called Shiki.
Shiki takes place in a small village. You know the type: a place where everyone knows basically everything about each other through gossip.
All is not well in this beautiful little village, because people have started to die under strange circumstances.
Our main characters, like the Doctor, Toshio Ozaki, and the brooding city boy, Natsumo Yuki, try to figure out just what is behind people dying day after day.
It may have something to do with the family who moving into the village late one night.
You will figure out the "mystery" way before our heroes do, and some of them are skeptical even when they do find out.
Is it scary? I guess that's up to what gets you to jump out of your seat. What I will say is that Shiki is definitely creepy. Shiki is available on Hulu and Funimation.com
I've been a fan of Moyashimon (or Moyasimon, depending on which company spells it) for almost three years now. I've watched the entire anime series, read the manga and even own an A. oryzae plushie. When I heard that there were plans to do a live-action version I was stoked, and then when I read that FUNimation was to stream the show soon after each episode airs I got excited. Then I watched the show. Needless to say it left a bittersweet taste in my mouth.
