Label: Pioneer The series with one of the coolest theme songs in anime, has brought us another soundtrack album full of driving tunes and interesting melodies. The feel of the music ranges from introspective to hard-driving, filled with guitars and bass beats. "Hatred Guy of Sinfulness" has a retro-punk joyfulness that's hard to beat, and the remix of the show's theme in "The World Without Logos--Dedicated to Malcolm X" is just cool transcendent. Even if the music itself weren't fabulous, which it is, this disc would be worth picking up for the names of the songs alone: "Aha, Springtime of Life's Erotic Hell," "Good Bye Used World," "The World's Last Sagacious Period," "Primary Colored Suicide Bombing Love Song," and so on. If you like Led Zeppelin, Portishead, or just good music, then definitely check this one out. Categorized as: Anime and Reviews

Dindrane's Anime Warnings:
Released by: Bandai. My Advice: Get it. Please Teacher (aka Onegai Teacher) sounds like one of the most perverted, puerile, and just plain silly titles of the year: a tenth grade student out by himself in the woods sees a UFO land and produce a beautiful glowing alien. The alien, realizing that she has been seen, chases him, but he escapes. The next day, Our Hero, Kei Kusanagi, discovers that his new teacher is the same alien in disguise--sent to observe the Earth--and only he knows the truth. Through various plot twists, Kei and Ms. Mizuho are forced into a secret marriage, uniting the hot teacher everyone has a crush on to the young, clueless, but more-than-he-seems Kusanagi.

Released by: Pioneer My Advice: Do yourself a favor and get it.  Last Exile was created by some of the top names in anime, creators of such top-notch titles as Hellsing and Blue Submarine No. 6. As such, we may expect great things from this series, though all too often with these things bright promises are dashed...but not so here. A world of hunger and chivalry, beauty and hope, this is, from first to last, a marvel. It tells the story of a world where airships rule the skies, and where two countries endlessly battle with cannon and armadas full of soldiers. On the ground and in the skies alike, class struggles rage in addition to the war for "chivalry" and "honor." Into this great war come Lavie and Claus, a very young couple struggling to run a small airship van service and who just want to someday have enough to eat. They are hired to deliver a mysterious message to a battle ship, just after a massive battle and right before a mysterious new fleet joins the fray. What should be a relatively clear-cut, if dangerous, mission becomes something no one on either side expected. Interweaving the tale of individual soldiers, generals, nobility, and working folk, the storyline is ambitious, but handled deftly. Categorized as: Anime
