Not the whole series, but just episode 7. The 20 odd minutes revolve around some loser violinist who hires Golgo13 not to kill his rival, but instead, to snipe the G string of his violin so as to embarrass him during his solo. And to think he’s paying big money of such a act. What [...]

=_= Can’t help myself from being fascinated with Golgo 13’s faces. You know what you should do when you see someone with this kind of face…

Yes, I know I haven’t posted my thoughts on Kaiba yet, nor have I watched Kanokon (before you ask: in regards to the former, I’m waiting for ep #2 to be subbed. In regards to the latter, “Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it,” still applies so I’ll watch the first two before allowing myself [...]

The symbol for Golgo 13 is a skeleton with a strange, thorn-like crown on its head. This probably means nothing, just like Eva’s imageries. In this episode, once again, we get to learn how much god-like DUKE is. (Has anyone noticed that a lot of dogs [...]

Ahh, Duke Togo. Not only is your name cooler than James Bond, and your codename cooler than 007, you are a true man’s man. The best way to sum up Golgo 13’s personality is to state that he has none. Literally. He has approximately 20 lines the entire episode. Women will fall over themselves to [...]

Me. Cool dick? DUKE Togo. Wow, that was an interesting experience. After knowing that the should’ve been-prime minister (and god for Otakus in addition ot Haruhi) Aso Taro-sama (yeah right) love this little manga, I decided that I have to check out the anime! Well, the only thing I was disappointed was for the lack [...]

Golgo 13 Well, this turned out better than expected, but that may also be because I expected nothing from this series anyway. Golgo may have a laughable name, but it does have a certain style. The soundtrack is effective, though I feel that the manga-chapters don’t really fit the 24-episode formats. In this episode, the only [...]

Animation budgets are apparently for chumps. Impressions: Ugh. This was just awful. It’s like they took the manga, dropped the panels on screen and then just animated the mouths. There’s next to no movement what so ever outside of the CG cars, CG grass, or CG ELEVATOR FLOOR INDICATORS and what little other movement [...]

 From ANN - Tokyo Anime Center Posts “Stop! Fan-Subtitle” Notice (Updated)  Ray’s take: yep, anytime it becomes a national issue, all of the sudden everyone cares, before it was just us stout otakus from many nations, gathering in our little corners of sanctuary,  worshiping and believing in the power of Gundams and Evas, fighting for the [...]

I made an order for a bunch of manga on rightstuf a little over a month ago, and I would have liked to review it all at once. Unfortunately, 3 of my volumes are stuck in backorder hell, so you thankfully get a shorter entry. Golgo 13 by Takao Saito, vols 9, 10, 12.(I’m talking [...]

I don’t know whether I’d be speaking too harshly of Golgo 13: The Professional in saying how bad it is. Make no mistake, it IS bad, but the fact that it’s a quarter of a century old now makes me inclined to cut it a little slack. It’s a throwback to the cheesy, ultra-violent straight-to-video [...]

The Professional: Golgo 13 was one of the very first anime films I ever saw, way back in the days of Streamline and Orion Pictures (see: Akira, Crying Freeman, Fist of the North Star). In fact it was so far back, when the Luc Besson Leon: The Professional came out, I figured it was a [...]
