Original Creator: Nanjo Norio , Yamaguchi TakayukiIn the sixth year of the Kan’ei era (1629), at the beginning of the Edo period, a samurai was hired to settle a grievance in the castle of Suruga. Appearing in a tournament which contraventioned all of the existing dueling laws to allow the use of real swords, the blind one-armed lame samurai starts a battle which brings together for the last time two mighty swordsmen whose bloody intertwined past is as beautiful and as gruesome as the scarred wounds that adorn their bodies and souls.
Based on a seinen manga by Yamaguchi TakayukiA surprisingly good series, the story has a nice flow and the character development is well made; episodes tend to progress slowly, yet are done in a tasteful matter so it doesn’t get boring. The setting and the sword fights are also very much to my taste, not to mention it’s a tale of revenge and I’m a total sucker for those.
Just a small warning, the series does not end, something like the Berserk anime but the manga is still getting published…

That night, he takes two people into the Zone
One of the best sci-fi movies ever made, definitely one of my personal favorites. The atmosphere of this movie is something that has to be felt, Tarkovsky was a fucking master and this is one of his finest movies!

Length: 1hr 17min
Type of video: .avi (xvid)On a secluded family farm, a mother suffers a psychotic break due to postpartum depression, forcing the eldest son to protects his siblings from the mother they have always loved.
Mom gone totally wacko, how can you go wrong? There are a couple of scenes that made this one stand out for me; the ending is redundant, most probably won’t like it but it doesn’t take away from the overall impression in my opinion.
