Summertime In The Winter (You Have Got To See This Pt. 4)
Summer Wars
I just watched this movie last night on my downtime at work. I've been hearing about this movie for a long time now. Not really sure how long, but almost a year maybe.
Ive always saw the Image I'm using while browsing the net. The picture itself looks interesting enough. But I just never got around to watching it. Until last night that is.
I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked this movie.
An excellent blend of dialogue, suspense, romance and even a little action involved. Loved the plot.
A high school boy gets invited to work with the high school beauty over the summer. His job? Pretend to be her fiance! Let the hi-jinks ensue right!? I'm a sucker for slice of life, drama and romance. I just knew this was going to be about some lucky guy getting the girl of all of our dreams. But it was way more to it than that.
In this setting the world is closely tied to the internet which they call, Oz. Think of how we are now with the internet, but much more involved. The entire planet is hooked intimately with the internet and the world of OZ online. Cue the hacker. Let the madness begin.
I know my review is kind of dry. I don't even want to call it a review. I just want you to watch this. If you haven't please do so soon. And if you have watched it, please share your thoughts with me on it.
You have got to see this!

There Isn't Anything Common About Common Sense (Madoka Magica 7)
Kyubey hate him or love him, has some valid points. Points I'm even supporting. It makes practical sense to seperate the soul from the body if damage taken when the soul is in the body can oblierate the soul. One hit and you can no longer fight. This solution seems solid. But, choosing to leave out the fact that hes basically turned their souls into jewelry is that gray area everyone hates.
Okay you didn't tell them because they didn't ask which is true, but you also didn't volunteer that information because of their reactions. Which is misleading. You already knew this was a touchy subject and caused your candidates to not want to become Puella Magi. Which is why you purposely left it out.
Kyubey did warn them that their wish isn't free and they would have to fight for it. But I cant help feeling like he swindled them in the fine print. Used Car Salesman tactics.
Hormura drops the ball again on this one. She could have warned them about this from the start. You're protecting Madoka right? You're trying to keep her from making this huge mistake right? Why not tell her the ugly truths, the entire truths about what shes considering doing. You could for sure have prevented Sayaka from becoming a Puella Magi. Part of me think that your fixated on Madoka and could careless about Sayaka. Seems Homura is only caring for Sayaka as a by product of all the attention she heaps on Madoka.
I will forever love Kyouko. She tells it like it is. She gets it! It comes with the territory. This is what you have to pay for a miracle. It's only fair right? I love that she shows Sayaka some sympathy because she's experienced the same frustration and pain from her wish.
It really was nice to get a little backstory on the character I love. I'm glad I finally know the reason she's eating all the time. Her wish destroyed her family. But since her wish went wrong, did Kyubey release her from her contract? Or better yet, should Kyubey have released her from the contract?
Well she's still a Puella Magi, so of course he didn't. Kyubey isn't about ethics it would seem. He fullfilled her wish, even if it did go bad. So literally his part of the contract is fulfilled. Its not his fault her wish didn't work out right? Again, Used Care Salesman tactics.
Sayaka is still fighting with herself. She believes shes doing the right thing. I cant blame her either. But is your wish really for him to be happy or for him to be happy with you? She's made a decision to use her power for good which isn't bad. She's given up her life for the guy and she wont even be able to be with him. Is that true love? Maybe I'm harsh but it just seems like a waste to me.
Sayaka's wish is sure starting to look like a bad idea. You wished for his happiness over your own by mistake. Mami actually warned her about this. She really should have thought this through.
She now has to watch her best friend become the lover of the man she loves so much. The man you gave up your humanity for. Baka.
Cruel.
Madoka I'm losing even more faith in you, all these harsh realities are in your face. Yet you still act like you cant understand whats going on. You're just going to jump into this world feet first without thinking about anything you've learned.
You cant be that naive. Quit crying and start thinking!

You Have Got To See This: Pt 3
dotHackQuantum
A three part OVA. Focusing on the actions of three players and their adventure in the MMO game called The WORLD. Rather than focusing on the Human players, the series focuses on the actually avatars and game-play.
For those us familiar with this series, its like a breath of fresh air. Everything we loved about the series with great voice acting, lovable characters and amazing artwork.
dotHackQuantum is about a MMO video game set in the distant future. Think WoW in the 22nd century. Where players log in with their friends quest, fight and find treasure.
Something happens in-game that causes the players to be sucked into the game. Making the person playing and their avatar one in the same.
What makes me like it so much is that, its like watching my favorite MMO animated. From the dialogue of the players to the things they are doing. Like getting the guild together to take down a hard game boss. Or PvPing. Which I happen to love very much. It warmed my heart to see that they really studied the MMO players and made you feel like you were watching players online going about their online lives.
I suggest you pick this up and watch it. You wont be disappointed.
