Anime Novel Of The Month - November 2013 "Tokyo Tribe"

10/31/2013

By Rage:

Yes, Rage has returned… I have mentioned this novel on a previous episode of Surfer’s “What Are You Reading” comic book show but now is time to give it the treatment it deserves.



So imagine bloods and crips in Tokyo? Well this is sort of like that….  This is Tokyo Tribe 2 and it centers on the many gangs that rule the streets.

Gangs such as the Musashino Saru , Bukuro Wu-Ronz, Shinjuku Hands and many many more.  The story takes place 5 years after the Shibuya Riots, the gangs of Tokyo have been peaceful and involving in no violence until Mera (the leader of the Wu-Ronz) kills 3 members of Saru. Days after the Killing, Kai runs into Mera who were former high school friends get into a fight and a chase which ends in Kai’s closet friend and Saru leader Tera dead and tension amongst the 7 groups. It’s classic Anime at its finest! The panels are so drawn out so precisely and the characters pull you more and more into the story with every page. There are 12 volumes to this series and all of them are epic. The thing I most liked about the story is that it brings an urban culture to a town that if you didn’t live in Tokyo, you would’ve had no idea about (and trust me, they’re “Hood” in japan).

This series of books has a huge cult following in japan and overseas here in the states, so much so that their was a 12 episode TV series shown in japan. If you think the books were good, the show is AWESOME! Its bright and colorful and it really captures the deep, dark, and somewhat exciting aspect of Tokyo nightlife while incorporating urban culture in clothing, behavior and its music. If you ever find yourself needing to kill time, do watch this show. ( however, I must warn you… Buppa, the leader of the Bubba clan who is a towering, morbidly obese, bisexual  crime lord with a lecherous, sadistic personality, anally rapes a high school boy to death breaking his back in the process while chanting  "Goosh Goosh"…. Just a precaution ).

Pre-Production has already began on a live action film produced by MTV and Japanese director Shion Sono which will be released early 2015.

Love, gangs, violence, sex, rap music…. OMG, just read it.

OVER AND OUT FUCKERS!

Album Review: Miley Cyrus - Bangerz (I Know but Read it Any Way..It Will Twerk Out)

By Tommy Dennis:

First off, No, I didn't fall on my head or lose my man card (though this article may get it revoked).  I am writing this for a few reasons. 1)I think its time to try and attract a few female readers (cheap plug).  2) I feel this young lady has gotten criticized way too much (she is 20 years old..who is so perfect that they didn't do crazy things at that age).  Most importantly, the album isn't that bad..there are some pretty catchy and creative songs to be heard.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few positives to this album, Miley shows that she has some talent when not embarrassing herself.  She shows a bit of versatility in the vocals, much more range than I expected.  The lyrical content had greater depth than you would think (though I don't believe Dylan has anything to worry about).  In an attempt to get away from bubble gum pop, Bangerz has some banging hip hop like beats thanks to producers like Will.I.Am, Pharrell Williams, and others.  Finally, just the pure courage to go away from a well established comfort zone for uncharted waters deserves some credit.

Despite my praise, this album does have some shortcomings that I must call out! Ms. Cyrus does at times go a bit off the deep end in trying to sound too bad ass.  It's also hard to buy a southern girl that was born and raised in Nashville and Hollywood speaking so much ebonics and jive (I'm sure the rich girl spends a ton of time in da hood).  Though I believe she is definitely a young woman trying to find herself, she tries way too hard to project that image on the album.

There are two particular songs that stand out as best and worst.  The single "wrecking ball", despite the controversial video, is a really well-put together emotional song that sums up relationships in a nutshell.  "Love, Money, Party" would be my least favorite.  The song is just too over the top with a terrible beat and Cyrus trying way too hard to be a hiphop badass (this girl doesn't know if she is country, street, pop or what...identity crisis?)

Aside from Miley Cyrus's overall strange new personality...(twerking/weird tongue thing) i have to give her credit for pulling off a solid new album.  I give it 7.5/10 twerks (well not literally).  She rose to the occasion despite a tremendous amount of pressure and potential criticism.  Aside from all of the image driven drama that is Miley...she did prove that a true artist will rise to the challenge...hard twerk pays off!
