Aneki… My Sweet Elder Sister vol 2 sub

http://erobeat.hafio.net/home/?p=837

The greatest failing of Black Lagoon's seventh volume, ultimately, may be something far simpler than the ever-evolving storyline and the double-crossing web of characters. It may be something far simpler than the fact that certain emotional high points are executed well, while plot-advancing dialogue scenes ramble off into confusion. In fact, the biggest problem with this volume may not even have anything to do with the artwork being highly polished (especially in action scenes) but often being put to use in dull, disorienting conversations. The biggest problem is this: Why isn't Revy running around kicking ass and taking names?



Mushi-Shi is a rare animal indeed: a fascinating, unique viewing experience in a market flooded with strait-jacketed genre clones. To be sure, the wandering healer narrative has been used before, and the episodic structure and mystical touches recall works like Hell Girl and Requiem from the Darkness. However, those are but shallow comparisons for something that combines the naturalist's eye and hypnotic pacing of obtuse Russian auteur Andrei Tarkovsky with the lush art and ecological concerns of Hayao Miyazaki, and complements them with a quietly intense personal focus and engrossing mythology all its own.
