On Bleach

2007-06-11T18:17:00.000-07:00

Finally I was able to start on Bleach yesterday. Given that its already more than 100 episodes I don't think I can make reviews nor summaries of that show. Besides, the Internet has already lots of them!

I like the way you move it, I like the way you move it,

2007-05-06T18:05:00.000-07:00

I so thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I like the penguins here more than in Happy Feet. And oh those lemurs, hahaha they're great too!

RG Veda OVA

2007-04-09T08:22:00.000-07:00

RG Veda was the earliest work of CLAMP. Having interest in the works of CLAMP I thought I had the luck of finding a copy of the anime. But to my disappointment it was only two episodes! I thought it had a series or something.

Consulting the Internet, I found out that RG Veda is really more on manga and though it was popular, there are only two episodes of anime released an OVA, and that's the copy that I have.

The storyline is bitin and graphics are a bit amateurish... not to mention the subtitles were really a headache! No summary for the OVA, just read the spoiler/plot on the Internet.

REALLY AMAZING IMAGES from the Manga, you have to credit CLAMP for that.

Many thanks to WIKIPEDIA for providing much info on the series.

Many thanks to Mani'Anime - La japanimation et les manga for providing me the discography for the X series.

Meanwhile at the Area, Kotaro found the room full of toys. A bunch of them, tanks and missles attacked him, but a voice told him it was just teasing him. He proceeded into a room and what he saw surprised him.

Teppel rushed out to the church to look for X and he found him lying on his side immobilized. Fou took out the master control from X and Teppel rushed to get it from him. Only this time a claw came out of nowhere and snatched it.

It was from Karfuss and his two other hencmen riding on black crows b'ts. He said he was gonna report Fou's betrayal to the Emperor, seeing that Teppel and X were not really destroyed. They got off but Je t'aime pursued them and got Karfuss and a henchman. Teppel took care of the last one.

Karfuss was begging forgiveness from Fou but being the sneaky person that he is, took hostage one of the orphans. Fou couldnt do anything as he was being attacked by Karfuss's claws. But then Teppel came to Fou's aid and destroyed one of the claws, allowing Karin to get the other orphans into the safety of the church.

Warrant officer Karin rushed to the church to call on Fou Rafine, one of the four Spirit Generals, with an urgent order from the Area. She told him that X had been revived. Because of this, Fou had to momentarily stop the church service with orphaned kids.

At the Area, it was shown how Rafael, the Empire's strongest b't devoured animals and even humans! Major Aramis recounted how they make b'ts. The designs and the materials are from the Emperor and they manufacture it. But when they got Rafael, it was just like a small egg. But then it fed on a mosquito and since then it has been growing after every meal. The Empire is worried that if Rafael continues with this, he'll eventually swallow the whole earth. But still Professor Takamiya refuses to help the Empire, saying its an evil entity.

Back in the desert Teppel continues with his journey towards the Area. However, Fou found him and attacked him. Though Teppel already released X, X still came back to help Teppel because Karen trained him and for X, that's good as Karen riding him. Fou, on his b't Je t'aime had the upperhand on Teppel and X, stunning them with Je t'aime's Deadly Carol. Teppel had an idea to shut down X's audio senses and ride him in manual mode. However, as they were able to finally get close to Fau, it turned out that Fou is also a strong fighter with a strong weapon too, the Funeral Bone.

Fou was about to deliver the final blow, but something in him hesitated: How was Teppel able to control X even if he wasn't the original donor? Fou let go of Teppel.

X still refuses to obey to Teppel's will, because he isn't his original donor. Teppel decides to make X think otherwise. But being a stubborn b't he flies away but Teppel still managed to get on x's back, stating that wherever X goes, he'll go. X went to the Earth's core, full of magma. Teppel shouted at X to stop but he still continued. Surprisingly Teppel is still alive. Next they went to depth's of the ocean, where pressure can instanly destroy a human. Even there, Teppel can breathe. Lastly, they went out of Earth into space. There X explained the Guard System, so long as the donor is with his b't he stays protected.

Flashback to the time that Karen trained Teppel in Kamui Island. Karen found out that Teppel is the brother of famed boy genius Kotaro. Teppel learned that one cannot be strong if its just to protect oneself, one can be strong if its to protect the important ones in their life.

Major Aramis also told Kotaro that the Empire is being protected by four Spirit Generals, each one having a powerful b't.

Episode 02 - Rebirth! The Sun Battler

2007-01-06T06:34:00.000-08:00

Aramis explained further the concept of the b't. Aside from having a brain of a human powered by the human blood, b'ts are very brave in battle. Kotaru realized that b'ts are only built for this purpose and strongly refused to join the Empire.

X pushed Teppel away when he tried to go near him. A still surprised Metalface said that its still impossible that X was revived because he fully knows that Teppel is not the orignal donor. But Metalface's body had been damaged and he collapsed. Madonna challenged X to battle but X told her to assist her master instead. X flew off but Teppel caught him by the tail and held on while climbing on X's back. Teppel passed out and a flashback ensured.

In that flashback it was revealed that Teppel had found Karen unconscious and he brought her to a secret cave only he and his brother knew. Shortly after that Metalface came to ask him if he had seen a woman around. Without warning, Metalface struck Teppel's horse Maple and it died instantly.Teppel of course got mad and denied seeing anyone and even if he did, he would not tell. Getting nothing out of him, Metalface also struck Teppel and left him bleeding to death in the snow.

Karen got out of the cave and saw Teppel. She felt sorry for the kid but she had to move forward. But something in Teppel made Karen go back, his strong persistence and the light that shines out from him. In exchange for saving her life, she transfused blood into him and he was also saved.

Back to the present, Teppel and X were still fleeing from their pursuers. But both eventually got tired and decided instead to face their attackers. Teppel brought out a disk that Karen gave to him, inserted it to X and shouted "Battle Gear On!" This resulted in a transformation of both Teppel and X, Teppel putting on armor and X opening up his wings. Together with the Messiah Fist, they defeated them.

Brothers Teppel and Kotaro Takamiya are reunited after 5 years in a robotics convention where elder brother Professor Kotaru, considered as the top scientist in the world of robotics, was the special guest. A robot masquerading as an usherette tried to kidnap Kotaro. Fortunately, Teppel arrived on time and destroyed the robot using his Messiah Fist.

Major Aramis and Lieutenant Metalface also came in the scene. Using a giant robot that looked like a praying mantis, they released poisonous gas in the room where Profesor Takamiya was discussing and instantly killing the audience. Teppel barged into the room but was too late because Aramis and Metalface already kidnapped Kotaro. Using the Messiah Fist, Teppel was able to hitch a ride with the gigantic robot into the Area, the headquarters of the Machine Empire located somewhere in the Gobi Desert.

Here the brothers are yet again separated. Kotaro was taken inside the fortress and Aramis showed him the Empire's most precious treasure, the b't. A b't is a robot who can think and act like a human but with a major difference... it's powered by human blood. It will only obey the first person who donated blooed to it and will only take orders from that person and nobody else.

Meanwhile, Teppel was thrown off the gigantic robot by Madonna, Metalface's B't. Metalface wounded Teppel with his Cybernetic Lance and bragged about his cybernetic body created by the Empire. Teppel didnt find this amusing and struck Metalface. Madonna came to her master's aid and had Teppel in a death grip. Then Madonna sensed an energy reading coming towards near them and suddenly a b't appeared. To everybody's amazement, it was X.
