Ice 2007

[toskarin]

ICE (2007) is fucking great because it's like an angel descended from heaven to deliver a late 80s OVA that got stuck in the corner of a production office somewhere. it dares to ask "what if things sucked but not in the new way: in the way they used to"

[joelletwo]

here's 10 minutes of ishida akira's insane scifi military lesbian character having dramatic ethical and tragic disabled backstory solidarity/beef with other women from the insane scifi military lesbian ova Project ICE

'wait what?' project ice is a 2007 three-episode OVA about a post-apocalyptic earth where the disaster was self-inflicted by humans in an irrelevant-time-travel-framing-device'd environmental/casual sex cautionary tale where only women survived and and the reproductive implications are explored through falling to societal ruin and lesbianism about it, produced as a promo for jpop group AKB48

'wait. what?' yeah it was created by the guy who produced AKB48 and it stars some of its members who have never voice acted a day in their lives next to ishida akira as a manipulative war veteran lesbian and minagawa junko (also featured here) having a maternal/flirty relationship with, and being bodyshared with the mother of, what looks like a kid

'what????' yeah visually and soundtrackily and character designily it rules. i skipped most of it looking for ishida scenes on my first watch and understood just as much as when i watched it fully two more times. it sucks so bad. i love it a lot and i think everyone should watch it

Our own goal ended up being look into the reproductive : functionality of the population of Small Penguins in Oamaru a duration of 19 a long time. Long-term keeping track of of people commenced within '93 along with involved a weekly verify of nests inside the reproduction nest to file diet plan adult penguins, ovum and women found. Just about all reproduction older people and also fledged chicks ended up flipper-banded. Breeding periods with the early on start of egg-laying acquired more dual brooding. Once-a-year propagation accomplishment by means of 20 breeding conditions (1994-2012) averaged A single.Fifth thererrrs 89 women every feminine, the greatest noted for the kinds. The study established that an early oncoming of egg-laying and the occurrence associated with twice brooding resulted in substantial reproduction success with the Oamaru human population.Diuraphis noxia is a freshly established unfamiliar pest from the Czech Republic. There are a couple of population explosions throughout the period of time 1993-2012. A successful overwintering with the anholocyclic populations of Deb.noxia was the cause of a new population explosion in the onset development period. Viviparous parthenogenetic girls in the anholocyclic numbers and also diapausing ova associated with holocyclic populations might overwinter as well. Research into the course of winter months temperature ranges established that a whole winter months fatality of anholocyclic people observed generally for the use of the snowy interval, while heat fallen under -5 degrees D, and on the actual level of the actual ice. We proposed your snowballing effective frost nova (within subtracting diploma nights) like a important parameter to the aphid anholocyclic population's fatality rate throughout overwintering. This parameter equalled -10.1degree days pertaining to fairly comfortable winter period 2006-2007, whereas from the fairly frosty wintertime duration of 2009-2010, this parameter reached -87.1DD, which in turn triggered comprehensive fatality of anholocyclic communities. A cumulative powerful get cold could be useful for short-time prospects of Deb.noxia human population growing market.All of us read the impact that conjugation-mediated Horizontally Gene Move (HGT) has on the mutation-selection harmony of an population in the fixed Sonidegib cost atmosphere. All of us think about product whereby a new population of unicellular bacteria, effective at conjugation, relates to mutation-selection equilibrium inside the existence of the anti-biotic, which in turn causes the first-order loss of life rate constant kappa(Deb) with regard to genomes which aren't resistant. We expressly take into consideration the repression/de-repression mechanics in the conjugative plasmid, and feel that a new de-repressed plasmid continues to be in the short term de-repressed after copying itself into one more cell. Many of us feel that each repression as well as de-repression are generally seen as an first-order price always the same okay(+-) and okay(-+), correspondingly. We discover that conjugation carries a bad influence on your mean fitness of people, indicating that will HGT doesn't give a selective edge in a fixed atmosphere, however is rather simply ideal for transitioning to new situations.

Anime i’ve Watched

That begin with a Y!

Yep this is how i’m going to bring over all the anime and manga i’ve watched and posted about on the old blog. It’s not so detailed but it will have to do. Anything new I watch or read from this point on will have their own posts.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU):

Genres: Slice of Life, Comedy, Drama, Romance, School

Synopsis: Hachiman Hikigaya is an apathetic high school student with narcissistic and semi-nihilistic tendencies. He firmly believes that joyful youth is nothing but a farce, and everyone who says otherwise is just lying to themselves. In a novel punishment for writing an essay mocking modern social relationships, Hachiman's teacher forces him to join the Volunteer Service Club, a club that aims to extend a helping hand to any student who seeks their support in achieving their goals. With the only other club member being the beautiful ice queen Yukino Yukinoshita, Hachiman finds himself on the front line of other people's problems—a place he never dreamed he would be. As Hachiman and Yukino use their wits to solve many students' problems, will Hachiman's rotten view of society prove to be a hindrance or a tool he can use to his advantage? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2013 with a total of 13 episodes.

My Thoughts: Apparently I really enjoyed this series when I originally watched it. That being said, I recently tried to start the third season and called it quits about half an episode in because it just wasn’t doing anything for me and I found Hachiman questionable. I have no idea what you should take from this comment.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!):

Genres: Romance, Comedy, Drama, Slice of life, school

Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Comedy wa Machigatteiru. Zoku picks up immediately after the events of the first season, continuing the adventures of the Volunteer Service Club—the dispassionate Hachiman Hikigaya, the cheerful Yui Yuigahama, and the competitive Yukino Yukinoshita—as it dedicates itself to helping any student with issues that they may face. With the rift among his own group widening, Hachiman begins to realize that his knack for quickly getting to the root of other people's troubles is a double-edged sword: sometimes the best solution is not necessarily the most appropriate one.

My Rating: 8/10

Finished airing in 2015 with a total of 13 episodes.

My Thoughts: Same as above.

Genres: Sci-fi, Mystery, Horror, Psychological, Thriller, Shounen

Synopsis: Surrounded by a forest and a gated entrance, the Grace Field House is inhabited by orphans happily living together as one big family, looked after by their "Mama," Isabella.

However, all good times must come to an end, as every few months, a child is adopted and sent to live with their new family... never to be heard from again. However, the three oldest siblings have their suspicions about what is actually happening at the orphanage, and they are about to discover the cruel fate that awaits the children living at Grace Field, including the twisted nature of their beloved Mama. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 8.5/10

Finished airing in 2019 with a total of 12 episodes.

My Thoughts: An intriguing premise with interesting characters and nice art. Plus I just love when things suddenly take a disturbing turn... as long as it’s done well and not just played for straight up shock value. Looking forward to the next season.

Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo (Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches):

Genres: Harem, Mystery, Comedy, Supernatural, Romance, School, Shounen

Synopsis: When Ryuu Yamada entered high school, he wanted to turn over a new leaf and lead a productive school life. That's why he chose to attend Suzaku High, where no one would know of his violent delinquent reputation. However, much to Ryuu's dismay, he is soon bored; now a second year, Ryuu has reverted to his old ways—lazy with abysmal grades and always getting into fights. One day, back from yet another office visit, Ryuu encounters Urara Shiraishi, a beautiful honors student. A misstep causes them both to tumble down the stairs, ending in an accidental kiss! The pair discover they can switch bodies with a kiss: an ability which will prove to be both convenient and troublesome. Learning of their new power, Toranosuke Miyamura, a student council officer and the single member of the Supernatural Studies Club, recruits them for the club. Soon joined by Miyabi Itou, an eccentric interested in all things supernatural, the group unearths the legend of the Seven Witches of Suzaku High, seven female students who have obtained different powers activated by a kiss. The Supernatural Studies Club embarks on its first quest: to find the identities of all the witches.

My Rating: 7/10

Finished airing in 2015 with a total of 12 episodes.

My Thoughts: Pretty girls everywhere and a few pretty guys. Loved the opening and the dreamy sort of art. The art throughout wasn’t bad either. Wasn’t overly impressed with the anime itself but certainly didn’t hate it. Also has an OVA for those interested. 

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge:

Genres: Comedy, Shoujo

Synopsis: Ever since her crush rejected her by insulting her appearance, Sunako Nakahara has been a shut-in with a hatred for beauty, embracing all things morbid and occult-related. She is sent to live in her aunt's mansion which, to her dismay, she'll share with four exceedingly handsome boys her age. Furthermore, her flighty aunt has made a deal with these boys that in exchange for living there rent-free, they are to turn Sunako into a proper lady by the time she returns from a trip around the world. Thus begins Sunako's hectic life with abrasive Kyohei Takano, ladies' man Ranmaru Morii, calm Takenaga Oda, and friendly Yukinojo Toyama. As she interacts with them she finds them less obnoxious, and she may not be as much of an outcast as she thought. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

My Rating: 10/10

Finished airing in 2007 with a total of 25 episodes.

My Thoughts: One of the very first animes I watched and I absolutely loved it. The style, the atmosphere, the comedy, the characters, all of it!

At age 23, Yuuri's window for success in skating is closing rapidly, and his love of pork cutlets and aptitude for gaining weight are not helping either. However, Yuuri finds himself in the spotlight when a video of him performing a routine previously executed by five-time world champion, Victor Nikiforov, suddenly goes viral. In fact, Victor himself abruptly appears at Yuuri's house and offers to be his mentor. As one of his biggest fans, Yuuri eagerly accepts, kicking off his journey to make it back onto the world stage. But the competition is fierce, as the rising star from Russia, Yuri Plisetsky, is relentlessly determined to defeat Yuuri and win back Victor's tutelage.

My Rating: 9/10

Finished airing in 2016 with a total of 12 episodes.

My Thoughts: The series that spawned a million pieces of fan art, fiction and merchandise. The figure skating anime.... who hasn’t heard of this one. Pretty enjoyable series in my opinion with an excellent opening and lovable characters. Too short though.

Tag game

Hello. I was tagged by @impracticaldemon​ to list all the anime I’ve ever watched =) Thankfully, I keep a list on a certain website so I just copied this information, highlighting my favorite ones. I must warn you that it’s a long reading (and a boring one, I suppose). I watched most of it during my high-school and uni time. And I can’t consider my anime-ish experience without reading manga which is often much better and interesting than the anime.

Ovariantissue that was frozen a years ago was implanted recently in a 25- year-old cancer survivor who hopes that restoring the tissue from suspended animation will enable her to begin a household.

The treatment – which includes myriad disciplines in medication, cell biology and surgical treatment – is referred to as an ovarian transplant and was carried out at NYU Winthrop Hospital in Mineola, marking a series of “firsts.”

It was the very first ovarian transplant on Long Island, the very first carried out anywhere on an outpatient basis and the very first such transplant to include a surgical robotic.

A group achieved the two-hour treatment just recently, led byDr Kutluk Oktay, the surgeon-scientist who was the very first on the planet to carry out the method almost twenty years ago at New York Methodist Hospital in Brooklyn, now part of the NewYork-PresbyterianRegional Hospital network. This time around, the multi-armed Da Vinci surgical robotic contributed in the transplant.

” I established the treatment and my very first case remained in 1999; it was released in the NewEngland Journal of Medicine,” stated Oktay, a participating in doctor at NYU Winthrop and a leading professional in the field of fertility conservation. He also is a teacher of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at Yale University School of Medicine.

He studied with clinical groups in this nation and abroad to produce an approach of preserving fertility for girls identified with cancer and at danger of never ever having kids. Harsh cancer treatments cause menopause, and for this reason infertility.

The excellent news: About 90 infants have actually been born through ovarian transplants considering that the early 2000 s.

Oktay’s client at NYU Winthrop, whom he has actually understood considering that 2007, did not wish to divulge her name. But she provided her medical professional authorization to communicate highlights of her long and strenuous medical journey.

“She was diagnosed with leukemia when she was 15, which required a bone marrow transplant. Patients receive huge doses of chemo and radiation, which can wipe out all of the eggs,”Oktay stated. “Prior to her leukemia treatment, I removed one of her ovaries, which contained all of the immature eggs at that time.”

Ovaries are twin reproductive organs, each about the size of a walnut, that produce ova, or egg cells. Each egg cell has 23 chromosomes, which is the maternal half of an infant’s complete hereditary dowry of46 Each moms and dad contributes 23 at the minute of conception.

In2007, crucial parts of the client’s surgically gotten rid of ovary were carefully cut into exactly what the medical professional referred to as 15 to 20 “slivers” – super-thin grafts of ovarian tissue that were maintained by freezing.

Each graft, Oktay described, was treated with the cryoprotective representative dimethyl sulfoxide, or DMSO, which avoids crystal development in cells. Left neglected, ice crystals would form and pierce the cells, rendering them worthless.

“You don’t want to freeze the whole ovary,”Oktay stated. “The immature eggs are on the surface, so we peel off that layer. This is what we cut into tiny slivers.”

Each sliver was positioned in little vials about the size of a lipstick tube then into containers that were positioned in a liquid nitrogen chamber. The temperature level can be dropped to a transcendent minus 140 degrees Celsius, which has to do with minus 220 degrees Fahrenheit, almost as cold as the surface area of Jupiter.

“We use a program of slow-freezing, slowly bringing down the temperature,”Oktay stated. “We use slow freezing so there is no shock to the cells.”

The cryopreserved specimens can stay forever in a state of suspended animation and defrosted when females are all set for them. The grafts were saved at Manhattan CryoBank, a cell and tissue repository.

Oktay’s client called him just recently to start the procedure, which is tailored towards bring back ovulation and the circulation of reproductive hormonal agents.

“She has gotten married and wants to start a family,”Oktay stated. “So we are trying to help her.”

ForOktay, improving an approach to protect fertility for females who have actually had cancer is the outcome of years of effort. He studied with scientists in Britain prior to dealing with clients in Brooklyn, and also while on personnel at Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan.

Adding the Da Vinci robotic to the treatment is brand-new and enables the tissue grafts to be presented into the client through a smaller sized cut through the robotic’s small “hands.” Oktay implanted about 14 of the maintained grafts into his client’s staying, menopausal ovary.

Fertility medical professionals worldwide have long recommended that the method has possibilities for females with other medical conditions that have devastating treatments, or for females who wish to hold off giving birth.

RosariaRuttenber, 39, who was dealt with two times for Hodgkin’s illness, a cancer of the lymphatic tissue, stated ovarian hair transplant worked completely. Her child, Juliana, was born in 2014.

Ruttenber, who resides in Norwalk, Connecticut, stated her best ovary was gotten rid of 16 years ago and cryopreserved prior to she went through cancer treatment when she was23 Through in vitro fertilization, her maintained eggs were combined with her hubby’s sperm. The couple now has 7 cryopreserved embryos.

“It has been a long road and well worth it. Looking back, I am glad we did it,” stated Ruttenber, who is anticipating pursuing a 2nd kid.

Discover the History Behind the Anime Creators Going to Crunchyroll Expo!

Behind every anime is a team of people working their butts off to create something special. These teams are usually led by a Director, an Animation Director, a Character Designer, and even a CEO, producing from above, and at Crunchyroll Expo this year, you’ll be able to meet some of these elusive faces in panels or at signings, and you may even be able to ask them questions!

  But even the most dedicated fan might not know every amazing name on our guest list. So, to get you prepared to meet these anime creators, let us go through and learn a little about each one!

    Masahiro Suwa

    Masahiro Suwa started out in the anime industry around 2003. At the time, he was under contract with Tanto, an anime outsourcing studio, for video inspection work and in-between animation. Suwa’s first credits were on anime series such as Honey and Clover and Happy Lesson: The Final. While at Tanto, Suwa has tasked with checking the in-betweens on Makoto Shinkai’s The Place Promised in Our Early Days film.

  In September 2007, Tanto closed its doors. By this time, Suwa had become a key animator for the studio with his last credits for them being for anime series’ GR -GIANT ROBO- and Over Drive. After, Suwa worked closely with anime studio Xebec. Xebec had led the production on many shows that were outsourced to Tanto and when the studio folded, Suwa was given the opportunity to work on Xebec-led series and outsourced projects such as Kanokon and Evangelion 2.0 as a key animator and second key animator.

    Suwa’s big break came as an animator director and key animator on the Manglobe produced series The World God Only Knows. He continued to work with Manglobe on a number of series as a key animator, such as Gangsta. and House of Five Leaves. During this time, Suwa also started working with Bones as a key animator, with credits on Bones-led series such as Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and as an animator director on Blast of Tempest. Suwa worked his way up to become the chief animation director on Chaika –The Coffin Princess- and its sequel series.

    During the production of Under The Dog, Masahiro Suwa was asked to join Kinema Citrus as a key animator to work on the OVA. Since then, he’s helped out with the character designs on Made in Abyss, was one of the chief animation directors on Scorching Ping Pong Girls, and of course, was the character designer and chief animation director on The Rising of the Shield Hero.

  You can find him at these events:

      Terumi Nishii

    It wouldn’t be a surprise if you’ve never heard of Terumi Nishii, but she is an animator that has touched many famous works over the years. You’ll be surprised to find out that multiple anime series and movies share a special bond thanks to her.

  Terumi Nishii’s first credits in the anime industry were usually found next to Studio Cockpit. After graduating from Osaka College of Design, she started working with Studio Cockpit as an in-betweener, with her first known credit being Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie. She was quickly promoted to a key animator position on Pilot Candidate and her career bloomed.

    During her time at Studio Cockpit, Nishii racked in credits as a key animator on hit anime like Pokémon 3: The Movie, Angelic Layer, Initial D: Fourth Stage, Love Hina and many more.

  After parting ways with Studio Cockpit, Ishii’s big break came on Fushigiboshi no Futago Hime, where she was the Chief Animation Director. During production, she was also an animation director and key animator on cult-classic MUSHI-SHI in 2005. She would return to the series nearly a decade later for MUSHI-SHI The Next Passage in the same roles, along with helping an assistant animation director and 2nd key animator for the episodes she wasn’t in a main role for.

  At the start of her career, Nishii worked closely with Hisashi Kagawa, who took her under his wing alongside Mitsuko Baba. They all worked on Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie together and because of this and her love of the Utena franchise (of which she made doujinshi of), Nishii was asked by Kunihiko Ikuhara to create the character designs for Peguindrum.

  Since then, Nishi has been the lead character designer and animation director on a number of works. These anime include Servant × Service, Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya, and part 4 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable.

  You can find her at the following events:

    Yuzuru Tachikawa and Yoshimichi Kameda

    It’s hard to talk about Yuzuru Tachikawa and Yoshimichi Kameda separately, as they’re a team that has threads of animation that lead back to episode 341 of Bleach. With Tachibana on direction and storyboard, and Kameda on animation, this super sakuga team have worked together on Death Parade, FLIP FLAPPERS, Kill la Kill, and the aforementioned Bleach. Their biggest hit to date though has been the jaw-dropping Mob Psycho 100.

  But let’s turn back the clock a little and see where they came from, starting with Yuzuru Tachikawa. Tachikawa started out in the anime industry working for Madhouse in 2006. His first credit was for Kiba in setting production. He must have made a good impression because his first directorial credit was for the final episode of the same anime series.

    Tachikawa’s final credit for Madhouse before moving onto freelancing was for Kobato. where he was an episode director and animation director on three episodes. Whilst freelancing, he was courted by Pierrot to work on Bleach. The first episode he's credited for on the shonen series was the May 2010 episode, “Ichigo Dies! Orihime, the Cry of Sorrow!”, the 271st episode of the series, as a storyboarder.

  Obviously impressing the producers and directors on the long-running show, Tachikawa got his chance to direct his own episode the very next year, episode 319. Tachikawa’s work on Bleach is said to be what got him noticed by the anime industry at large and led to more and more projects.

  One of these projects was directing episode 12 of Steins;Gate, a fan favourite episode of the series, along with being a storyboarder for episode 7 of Sword Art Online. But it wasn’t until a collaboration between Tachikawa and Madhouse for the Anime Mirai project that Tachikawa would be blasted into the stars. The collaboration turned into the original short anime film Death Billiards in 2013, which morphed into Death Parade in 2015, Tachikawa’s directorial debut. He is credited as the original creator, along with storyboarding and being a unit director on the show's banger of an OP.

    This industry clout let Tachikawa work on some of the biggest projects of the decade. This included working closely with Shinichiro Watanabe on Terror in Resonance as a storyboarder, episode director, assistant director and many more roles in the hit show. Tachikawa also worked on Yuri!! on ICE, Lupin the Third - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine, One-Punch Man and the biggest Detective Conan film of all time, Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer.

  After being popular within the industry for over a decade, Tachikawa’s mainstream popularity came from best-boy series, Mob Psycho 100. Tachikawa worked closely with Kameda to craft one of the most visually appealing series ever created. With Tachikawa on direction, storyboard and overall looking over the series, and Kameda on character design and all the animation roles, together they created a show that goes beyond 100%.

    Yoshimichi Kameda, on the other hand, is an animator at heart. After not being accepted for a job at Studio Ghibli as an animator, Kameda went on to a vocational school wanting to study more than just animation and hone his skills. On that front, he failed. At school, he mostly created animations, using cuts from Gainax series as references. His love for the company and the people who started Gainax grew and when Kameda graduated from vocational school, he applied to be an animator at Gainax.

  Kameda applied three times to the studio by sending them a giant box of his creations from school. The boxes were returned to Kameda all three times, with the second returned box having a note that read “At this time, we’re really sorry…”

    Not being dismayed, Kameda applied for the studio AIC as they worked closely with Gainax as an outsource studio on their projects. This led to his first credits being for video work on Pumpkin Scissors and in-between animation for Ah! My Goddess: Flights of Fancy. During his time working for AIC, Kameda wasn’t able to fully flex his animations muscles – even if he did get to work on Gainax’s Gurren Lagann – and moonlighted under a pen name.

  This pen name let him work as a key animator on Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, where he caught the keen eye of Bones producers and was asked to freelance at the studio as a key animator. Since then, Kameda has been able to soar through the anime industry. He’s moved up the ranks to become a character designer and animation director on projects such as Paroru no Miraijima and Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Treasure Island, has worked as an action animation director on One-Punch Man, and was even a guest alien designer on Space Dandy Season 2.

    Kameda was finally granted his wish to work with the superstar animators of Gainax Past when he was asked to be a key animator on Hiroyuki Imashi’s Kill la Kill at Trigger and Hideaki Anno’s Evangelion 3.0 at Khara. I wonder if they remembered his giant box?
