The very best of my choice #4 Detective Conan

Example of one of the diferent openings the anime has

As I promise some time ago It's time to talk about of anime and of course I will start with my favourite one :Detective Conan ( Known in the original version as “Meitantei Conan” and in the American version as “Case Closed”)

The story is about a young teenager detective named Shinichi Kudo who is poisoned with some kind of experimental pill while he was following two balck dressed suspicious guys and he wakes up the next morning with a childlish body. Instead of being killed by the poisoned he just wakes up with the body of a child. In order to investigate the strange guys he decides to go living to his best friend's house whose father is a private detective but adopting a different name to protect him of being found by these men from the organization of the black men.

While living with this private detective called Kogoro he becames involved in many cases and he secretly helps Kogoro to solve any single detetive case in order to make Kogoro became more famous and allowing thing to approach to that black organization. (Maybe you are a little bit confused now but the best thing you can do is to watch the anime, or read the original manga)

But what a simple review wouldn't be if I don't tell you a little about the characters of the anime:

Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa

He's a famous young teenager detective who has helped the police in multiple diferent murder and order policial cases but one day while he was with his best friend Ran Mouri he becames poisoned and his body becomes childlish. From now on he decides to adopt the identity of Conan Edogawa (Combination of the Japanese writer Rampo Edogawa and Sherlock Holmes author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ) and goes living to Kogoro Mouri's house. Ran's father and a private detective. With the identity of Conan Edogawa he helps in secret Kogoro Mouri to solve multiple complicated cases.

Ran Mouri

She's been Shinichi's best friend since their where kids. She goes to secondary school with Shinichi. After the day Conan appears on his lives she becames very worried because she never cans see Shinichi but sometimes Conan phones her adoting Shinichi's voiced to show her he has not dissapeard. She is the daughter of Kogoro Mouri and also a great Karateka.

Kogoro Mouri

Many years ago he was a police of the local department now, he's a private detective with not many customers. He is a lazy man who loves drinking alcohol and starving women. He does not like much Shinichi Kudo but surprisely he stars becoming famous after the day a little boy named Conan Edogawa arrives at his house.

Hiroshi Agasa

Don't be confused he's not Shin-Chan's Father (xD). He's a very good friend of Shinichi's and the only one who knows the real identity of him as Conan Edogawa. He also provides Shinichi with very good inventions such as the voice transformer and solar-skate.

Juzo Megre

He is an inspector from the Metropolitan Police Department and also, he knows Kogoro pretty well. He's a very good inspector (not as Kogoro) who always has the bad of founfiung Kogoro in every case of murder.

And that's all for now folks! I know this information may not be the best one, but I can assure that none of this information has been extracted from web sites like wikipedia and so on: It's all original creation of mine. Some of you may think there are better animes but I don't care for me there's only one and it is called: Detective Conan.

An so an episode ends

The very best of my choice #3: Magic the Gathering

Alright , after saying such beautiful things about religion we should move back to the real world. So that's why on my third post about cool things. And no this time it won't be about a video game it will be just about a current game: A card game. OK maybe after this you might fell a little dizzy :-A card game? You 're kidding right? No I'm not kidding this is real and if you don't believe think about poker for example:- Even some of you like playing poker don't you? (Specially if it's the srip version) So if you think poker is fun any card game can be the same.

The game we are talking about if I'm not mistaken ( and the same goes for wikipedia) comes for 1993 and it was created by a mathematician. In this game you are a “planeswalker” ( a magician who summons creatures, casts spells and does all sorts of things to defat another(s) “planeswalker” who'll try to do the same.





Maybe after this explanation you still know the same ( or less ) from the game so I'll better explain a little more. To be able to do all the things I said before a “planeswalker” (player) needs “mana” which comes form lands


So here's the point you obtain mana from the lands and the with that mana you cast spells, summon creatures and so on. It seems simple but it's not all based on that. The thing becomes more complicated :Not all the mana is from the same type so it won't be usefull for the same things.



The truth is there are 5 mana types and depending on which you pick to use ( you can use 1 ,2 or even the 5 that's your choice) you'll strategy may differ from otther player's.

And that's all for now, this is just a little introduction to the game just to let you know a little about it if you wanna leran more i'll lenda a few links and if nothing happens (I'm not hit by a car or heart attack for example) I will give more details about the game on another post. But it will have nothing to do with this section. If you wanna know what I'm next going to talk well here's a little hint :- The next two posts from this sections will be about anime series .Try to guess them. Bye!!

The Very Best of my choice #2:Final Fantasy X

First of all and after beginning with this I should apologize because I know I promised this would be a weekly section but because some reasons (mainly because I've been a lazy guy) I haven't kept my word; but don't at least I'm gonna try to make it as weekly as possible.

And what do we have for today's special report? I'm not gonna go ahead with the big explanation because I supposed everyone ( or almost) knows what a Final Fantasy game is. And of course not everybody will think the same way I think. To be honest this was supposed to be the number one of my choices but this summer something called “Persona 4 “ appeared.



But why could this be so important for me? Well it can only be resumed in one word: TEARS! And yes that's the big point the game made me cry (know you can laugh if you want I don't care because I would cry again if necessary), but of course the is not all based on that so let's take a look on a little review and see if I can convince you to pick up this ( I don't care how even I know it's a little bit difficult).

Plot:-Oh men, who was the big genius who created this? Whoever it was (It was..) I only must thank him . The plot is just one of the most beautiful, fantastic and whatever any other adjective I can use to describe it. In any case i'll show a little bit but because I'm a little bit tired of writing and I don't wanna make any spoiler i'll lend a video with a trailer of the game.(Sorry it's subtitled in Italian)



Graphics:-OK, maybe nowadays this graphics will no “big thing” but the game is not a new one it has some years. And what could I say about their graphics? NO WORDS! Just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on a video game (Yes, they're better than Persona 4's graphics) . Those CG'S are really visual arts.

Sound:-This it's being too long isn't it? Don't worry I will finish very soon just hear these ones and a special mentions for Rikki's “Sutkei da ne” (You'll always be part of my memory)





What else do I have to say? Just one more thing if you like video games and you haven't tried this, you don't know what you have lost.

The very best of my choice #1: Shin Megami Tensei:Persona 4

After the first two articles from my blog somebody may think: “This man is kinda crazy he is always blaming and sure he probably hates rainy days!”. Well I would like to answer that is not exactly true. To tell the truth I prefer rainy days instead of sunny days; but yes it's true that I get angry easily (but only when there's a strong reason) Anyways what I'm pretending to tell it's that my blog it's not all gonna be base on that That what I'm glad to inaugurate this new section which at least it's gonna be weekly published.

“The very best of my choice” is gonna be all filled with a pick up choice of my favorite things (chose specially between books, manga , video-games, films and so on) I hope at least you enjoy reading it as much as I did creating it. So if there are no questions I will begin the section with my first choice “Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4”



If I could resume just in one word I probably would said “unforgettable” because in my case it was some kind of experience that changed my life forever. You know there game and games but about this one we're talking about is something completely different. Anyway let's take a look at the game carefully.

Graphics: Maybe this is the worst point of the game (which it doesn't mean there are a bad ones). The graphics make their work just correct. They show a perfectly normal rural Japanese with all its normal locations. Their may not be super detailed but well at least they work properly and in some how they're in some how a bit beautiful.





Sound:Have you ever heard a original soundtrack that you cannot erase form your memory no matter how many days,weeks,months pass it will be always in your memory. After saying this I'm sure there's no doubt about the perfection of this. Just in case you don't believe me I will lend a few examples:








Plot: Strange,strange “Never seen anything like this before” Let me first ask you this.: When you ask somebody about a video game it's almost always something like this .”Violence” “No sense” and so on. But what do we have here? Could it possibly real that the meaning of the plot is all about a philosophical reminiscence (hard to explain).Well can't say anything else you better have to live it all by yourself.

After all this I think there are not enough words to explain how do I feel about this. The last thing I can do is leave you a little peace of the game :Enjoy it!!!
