Meme ~ A Tall Story

Being taller most girls isn't easy. But it ain't all sob story either. In fact, being tall is so much of fun because...well, it's all illustrated in the comic below. =)

Anime Review ~ No.6 (2011)

 

What prompted me to watch this much talked about anime is none other than it's popularity among my fellow otaku brethren. Every other fan girl is going kyaaaa!!! Yaaaaa!!!! Ahhh!!!! over it. Being somewhat lagging behind in the anime world due to my hectic semester I couldn't help but catch up starting with this anime, No.6.

The story is set in a post-apocalyptic world where after the apocalypse the few morsel of healthy lands that survived were made into an utopia-like kingdom. Top-notch education system, medical facilities and security amenities. There are no crime, poverty, nothing deviant of society norms. It's truly a perfect world to live in.

No.6 is one such land out of the six lands that were procured.

Amidst all of this peace and tranquility, a gifted boy named Shion is feeling restless and somewhat bored with life as a child prodigy. A fateful encounter with a fugitive who sought refuge at his house changed his life for worse...maybe not after all.

The refugee calls himself Nezumi(Rat in Japanese) and rescues Shion four years later when he was taken to a correctional facility after witnessing the bizarre death of his coworker.

Nezumi and Shion then unearth the terrible and inhuman secret behind No.6's much hushed secret to ruthlessly obtain the seemingly peaceful utopia that is No.6.


Character introduction:

~*Shion*~

A 16 year old genius who met a running fugitive in his room four years prior - who turned out to be a dangerous criminal as listed under the government database. Shion gave shelter to this refugee simply because he looked about his age.

One fateful day, Shion witnessed the sudden and nighmarish death of his coworker and was thus interrogated. He was on his way to the correctional facility when the refugee whom he sheltered four years ago in turn saved him and brought him to the slums known as the West District outside of No.6.

Shion's relationship with his rescuer is intense and borders on some boyxboy romance.

~*Nezumi*~

A street-smart survivor who managed to escape the correctional facility four years ago from the help of Shion. He is very possesive and protective towards Shion whom he may have some romantic feelings for. Shion makes a living as a stage actor in the West District slums and is pretty popular(his stage name is Eve).
His deep hatred for No.6 is later explained in the series. Nezumi is bent on destroying No.6 by obliterating the correctional facility.
Nezumi also shows some bromance towards Shion.

~*Safu*~

A genius girl who was Shion's classmate. She is interested in neurobiology. She blatantly admitted that she loves Shion very much and would do anything for him. Even asking him to sleep with him after her return from studying abroad. She is revealed to be an important medium for No.6's destruction and died in an explosion.

~*Inukashi*

Literally means Dog-Loaner. She makes a living out of running a hotel by renting out dogs as blankets(actually bed warmers lol). She is uncouth, brash and loud mouthed but deep down - she is insecure and lonely, perhaps a little sad that she had to fend for herself since young without anyone. She also makes a living as an informant.

~*Rikiga*~

A journalist who was banished from No.6. He makes a living as a pimp and errand boy of sorts. He is very attached to Shion whose mother he knew and loved when they were young.

Overall, this masterpiece of an anime gave that delicious melancholic and silent kind of restless aura to it's viewers.

Plot: Top notch
Story: Wonderful
Characters: Can I marry Nezumi?
Verdict: We have a winner for best anime of the year!

Why This Kolaveri Di?

Ah, the melancholic and slow singing style by actor Dhanush for his new movie 3.

Word has it this song became an overnight sensation due to it's bizarre and comical lyrics quipped with catchy modern Indian tunes. Before being a judge for this song myself, I read the Huntington Post, BBC news and my very own Facebook wall flooded with the link for this video. Curiosity killed the cat but since I'm in no way a feline so I ended up writing a blog post about it.

Flop Song

Well, a lot of people are wondering what the song means. It's not hard to decipher really(if the song intends to have any meaning at all).

Boy meets girl, boy gets heartbroken by girl. Boy laments his bruised heart by binge drinking to numb his pain. While in a drunken stupor, he laments that she's evil(girl-u heart-u black-u). Our Devdass wannabe here also wonders how many boys are getting their hearts broken by a girl and going on a melancholy state like him.

Well, people are giving it mixed reviews - what is happening to the quality of music??? What is this song about? And more questions than I care to post here.

Well peeps allow me the honour of being extremely blunt here. CALM YO TITS!

It's obviously a satire, a mere joke of a song. Actor Dhanush himself said he only took 3 minutes to pen this down.

Seriously people, the song was sang in such juvenile lyrics and silly on-the-spur-of-the-moment melody.

Relax and remove that stick up your ass and enjoy the comedy! Yours Truly laughed really hard at this funny song and enjoyed the bizzareness of it all!

I suppose it takes a certain kind of sense of humor to enjoy slapstick comedy.

Oh well.
