Pentagon Pursuit | Part 11 | Seven-Way Title Fight

#FM24 #PentagonPursuit Part 11: Seven-Way Title Fight. #J1League newcomers #AlbirexNiigata find themselves involved in a title fight with Japan's big boys. But can they secure continental qualification for the first time? Read here:

Albirex Niigata were off to an absolute flyer in Robaato Rasamu’s first season of top-flight football. They found themselves 2nd in J1 League after 18 games but, with injuries and a heavy schedule stacking up, it would be a major challenge to maintain that form. They were mid-way through a tough schedule of eight matches in 27 days through May, which continued against several teams in the top…

Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Gust have announced Blue Reflection Ray, an anime series based on the 2017-released RPG Blue Reflection. It will begin airing in April as part of the “Animeism” slot on MBS, TBS, and BS-TBS in Japan.

Get the first details below.

Introduction

This is a story that connects “emotions”…

Joy, sadness, anger… Emotions are a power that everyone has, but cannot be seen by the naked eye. And in some cases, that power may even be able to change the world.

Hiori Hirahara, who is always positive and unable to neglect someone in need, and Ruka Hinari, who is clumsy and unable to make friends with others even if she tried. How will the encounter between these polar opposites change the girls themselves and the world around them…?

As part of the new “Blue Reflection Project,” Blue Reflection Ray is a TV anime based on the Blue Reflection game released by Koei Tecmo Games’ Gust brand in 2017.

A new world is about to begin…

Guilty Pleasure #18

VENUS WARS

Dir. YOSHIKAZU YASUHIKO; Wri. YOSHIKAZU YASUHIKO & YÜICHI SASAMOTO, Music. JOE HISAISHI; Starring. KATSUHIDA UEKASU, ERIKO HASA, GORO NAVA, HIROSHI KAWAGUCHI, HOUCHU OHTSUKA, KANETO SHIOZAWA, YUKO MIZUTANI, YUKO SASAKI, KONAMI YOSHIDA, KOUICHI YAMADERA, KIYOSUKE YANADA, MASAMI KIKUCHI, SHUICHI IKEDA; R.T. 102 mins; 1989, Japan

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Back in 2003, a comet impacted with Venus, altering the planet’s atmosphere and topography enough that it became habitable for human colonisation, and by 2012 we’d started settling there (yeah, I don’t remember that happening either).  In 2089, the two major nations of Venus, Ishtar and Aphrodia, are in a state of cold war when Earth reporter Susan Sommers arrives looking for a story.  Turns out she’s in luck, because she makes it to the Aphrodian capital city of Io just in time to get caught up in Ishtar’s swift and brutal invasion.  She takes shelter with a young mono-bike racing team, the Killer Commandos, who quickly grow restless under the thumb of the occupying forces of Ishtar General Gerhard Donner, leading them to hatch a rash, reckless plan of rebellion …

WHY IT’S GUILTY: There are MANY THINGS wrong with this film.  It’s VERY dated, even by 80s anime standards, from the decidedly old-fashioned soundtrack to the (possibly) retro fashions and haircuts of the characters, and while the animation is often impressive, there are a few jarring moments of sloppy quality and more than one clunky sequence in which animation is very clumsily laid over live action cinematography.  The plot is EXTREMELY derivative and thoroughly predictable, most of the twists glaringly signposted ahead of time, and there’s a strong sense of misogyny throughout with regard to the female characters, as well as a painfully embarrassing “predatory gay” character introduced in the final act that leaves a pretty bad taste in the mouth.  And the less said about that spectacularly clunky ending the better …

WHY IT’S A PLEASURE: Myriad flaws aside, however, this movie’s still A LOT of fun.  As far as the plot’s concerned, if you just step back and go with it there’s much to enjoy here – it’s pure guilty pleasure as a melodramatic soap opera, but the real attraction comes from the WAR in the title.  The frequent action sequences are realised with thrilling flair and brutal, explosive style, the various weapons of war on display consistently wreaking awesome havoc, and the mono-bikes are a wonderfully chaotic creation, the kind of fantastical vehicle the ten-year-old geek in me wants as much as Kaneda’s motorcycle or a Gunstar.  Indeed, there’s a wealth of spectacular design on display throughout, like the gritty, grimy cityscapes, the hulking Octo tanks or those weird-as-hell, Miyazaki-esque kamikaze airships.  The main characters are also a likeable bunch, clichéd caricatures as they are – the appropriately named main protagonist, Hiro, is a cocky, angry-at-the-world little shit, but under his emo swagger there’s a good heart and fierce loyalty to his friends, while the Killer Commandos’ grizzled war veteran manager/mechanic Gary is deceptively gruff but ultimately makes for a strong mentor figure, and while Sue is frequently grating she becomes more tolerable as her character arc progresses, but the real show-stealer here is General Donner, a charismatic monster who agreeably works best in small doses, really coming into his own in the thrilling climax.  There’s cheese, LOTS OF IT, and it gets pretty clunky at times, but there’s no denying the genuine power in the overblown emotional beats of the story, as well as a welcome edge of darkness and danger throughout.  And while the soundtrack may have been old-fashioned even at the time, let’s not forget that the score’s by the great Joe Hisaishi, widely regarded as the greatest cinematic composer to ever come out of Japan, who’s glorified the works of true greats like Hayao Miyazaki and Kitano Takeshi. I have a MASSIVE amount of nostalgic love for this movie – like many of my generation I first discovered this as a boy amongst all the landmark anime greats in the early VHS days of Manga Entertainment, and while it was decidedly outclassed in that illustrious company I still fell for its charms, despite the flaws.  It’s by no means a great masterpiece of the art-form, then, but as a guilty pleasure it’s right up there …
