Manga Underground

Sword Art Online ll (Death Gun) Netflix 25 episodes 2015 Kirito and Asuna are back in this second season of Sword Art Online ll -and I am thrilled! I have read that those who seriously follow Japanese animation, get crushes on the characters.  Now, for me -that is to far out there.  But, if it was possible, I would have a crush on Kirito/Kirigaya Kazuto.  He is the perfect male fighting/loving machine.  A hero in my eyes -and I am sure in the eyes of everyone who has watched this series.  The voice of Kirito is Japanese actor -Matsuoka, Yoshisugu Asuna is probably every man’s anime dream.  She can fight with a ferocity, while keeping her head.  The Japanese actress that wins you over with her soothing voice is Tomatsu, Haruka They added a few new characters this season, but the primary one is Konno Yuuki, voiced by Japanese actress Yuuki, Aoi.

Anime Underground

Porco Rosso DVD 93 minutes 1992 This anime was directed and written by Hayao Miyazaki.  The original film was created using the Japanese voices of Shuichiro Moriyama; Tokiko Kato; Akemi Okamura; Akio Otsuka and Toshio Suzuk. Anime Underground -chose this as their first film.  The version we watched had been dubbed over in English (thankfully you couldn’t tell) and starred the voice of Michael Keaton.  Normally, I would have preferred to watch this film with the original voices, but since the characters were not Japanese -it worked.

Manga Underground

Several of my family members live on the same land our Great Grandfather bought in the 1920’s.  It’s been sectioned off, and us (now) older generation, each have our own acreage.  My husband and I got 16 of the 21 acres my dad inherited.  My sister owns the other five. My cousin (Joe) and his wife (Sue) and I have been hiding a secret.  We love Japanese Manga’s.  So, we started a manga club.  Once a month we will watch all or part of a manga, and I will blog about it.  If you love manga’s please join us.  If you email me at donnadvaal@gmail.com, I will put any review you give to add to the ones I place on here -or a new one, you’ve watched.  We hope to start a club of many. Here is our first manga. Sword Art Online Netflix 16 volumes 20 minutes approx. each 2012 With the virtual world ever growing, we all dream of being Michael Douglas, in Disclosure.  Stepping into a real world, where your interaction, with …
