Podcasts about Hiroaki Samura

Well it only took us one hundred and ninety seven episodes, but we have finally done it! Our internet radio show has talked about actual radio. Kinda. We talked about an anime based off a manga that's about actual radio. Er, well okay, not an actual radio station, it was a fictional one. But the anime is real! It's called Wave, Listen to Me!, based off the manga by Hiroaki Samura. The anime was animated over at Sunrise, directed by Tatsuma Minamikawa. We also get into the anime Astro Note, the sudden reappearance of Ninja Gaiden games, and how One Piece is a good time.OSMnotesNow that you have listened to our song podcast, you may be asking yourself “Gosh, how can I check out this show and/or manga?” Do not worry!

This week, Gavin and I are discussing one of the best martial arts movies of the past decade that you probably missed, and maybe one of the GREATEST Manga adaptations to ever hit the big screen… ‘Blade of the Immortal'! Directed by the visionary action maestro Takashi Miike and based off of the long running manga of the same named created by Hiroaki Samura, this bloody, battle-tactic, Bushido bonanza will leave you on the edge of your seat! The story follows Manji, a samurai cursed with immortality, who reluctantly becomes the bodyguard for Rin, a young woman out for revenge against the ruthless assassins that wiped out her entire clan. Filled with non-stop swordplay, intricate action design, some the coolest manga characters come to life you have ever seen, and a plethora of wild weaponry, there is something for everyone to enjoy in this one! With a truly enthralling performance by iconic J-Pop star and actor Takuya Kimura as our grizzled protagonist Manji, as well as a stellar supporting cast who are as diverse as they are captivating, every scene keeps your eyes glued to the screen as you wait to see what insane scenario our characters find themselves in next. Listen in as we break down everything from the high-intensity swordplay, the genius of director Takashi Miike, and why this film succeeds where others have failed. You can listen to The Martial Arts Mania Podcast on Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and iHeart Podcasts! Don't forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!

On the surface, the samurai epic Blade of the Immortal is all about the violence, with its gorgeous splash pages of kaleidoscopic dismemberment. Created by Hiroaki Samura, a manga artist about whom very little is known, Blade of the Immortal follows a familiar outline: a young girl named Rin seeks to kill the group of swordsmen responsible for the murder of her family. But Samura's ambitions are greater, and as Rin and her hired hitman Manji make headway into her quest, her feelings about her vengeance grow more complicated. Blade of the Immortal is a 31-volume epic that ran from 1993-2012. In this episode, we'll scratch the surface and take a look at the first six volumes.

Steve and Rodney talk about Takashi Miike's 2017 adaptation of Hiroaki Samura's manga.

This week's manga log: "Blade of the Immortal" written and illustrated by Hiroaki Samura.   Description (courtesy of Amazon):   A cursed, seemingly immortal warrior aids a young girl in her quest for revenge, as the students of a brutal new sword school tear a bloody path across Japan. Hiroaki Samura's massive manga series spawned an anime run, a spinoff novel, an art book, and a live-action film! Samura's storytelling tour-de-force also won Japan's Media Arts Award, several British Eagle Awards, and an Eisner Award, among other international accolades. Intense and audacious, Blade takes period samurai action and deftly combines it with a modernist street idiom to create a style and mood like no other work of graphic fiction.

This week's manga log: Beastars, written and illustrated by Paru Itagaki. Description (courtesy of Wikipedia): The story takes place in a world of modern, civilized, anthropomorphic animals with a cultural divide between the carnivores and herbivores. The series takes its name from the in-universe rank of Beastar, an individual of great talent, service, and notoriety. Legoshi, a large gray wolf, is a timid and quiet student of Cherryton Academy where he lives in a dorm with several other carnivorous students including his outgoing Labrador friend, Jack. As a member of the school's drama club, Legoshi works as a stagehand and supports the actors of the club headed by the star pupil Louis, a red deer. Out of nowhere, someone is brutally murdered and devoured in the night setting a wave of unease and distrust between the herbivore and carnivore students. At the same time, Legoshi has a fateful encounter with Haru, a small dwarf rabbit, and begins developing complex feelings for her.

The Hollywood live-action adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s seminal science fiction series Battle Angel Alita (Gunnm), is out in cinemas, but have James Cameron and Robert Rodriguez finally cracked the formula for adapting manga and anime? Andrew, Mick and Rob went to the cinema to find out, but one of them convinced the other two to try the cinema “experience” known as 4DX for the first time. What could possibly go wrong?  After that it’s back to business as usual with our regular look at comics and manga that we’ve been reading, which this week are Moon Knight: Phases, Moon Girl And The Marvel Universe, the second collected volume of Die Wergelder by Hiroaki Samura, and Deadpool: Mercin’ Hard For The Money.

Manga Mavericks @ Movies month continues as the Mavericks discuss two 2017 films with the word "blade" in their title: Blade Runner 2049 and Blade of the Immortal! But that is not their only connection; both films feature acclaimed directors using their distinctive styles to bring a fresh take to a beloved story. Is Denis Villeneuve's exploration of how to define humanity as artificial intelligence increasingly resembles genuine consciousness superior to Ridley Scott's original take? Beneath its bloody chambara stylings, does Takeshi Miike's adaptation of Hiroaki Samura's manga cut to the heart of its meditation on the futile cycle of revenge and the moral paradox of taking a life to protect another? The Mavericks discuss how these films reflect upon the themes of their original work and expand on them to communicate new ideas - their ideas - through them!

**He Ain't Heavy, He's My Lens Flare** After some Thanos-based finger-snapping shenanigans only two-thirds of us are available for this episode, so join Mick and Producer Rob as they discuss J.J. Abrams' new and "subversive" superhero movie, DC's plans for another TV adaptation Swamp Thing, and a strange case involving Superman, Lois Lane, the Church of Scientology and the FBI. After that it's time for a chat about Avengers: Infinity War - which we try to make as spoiler-free as possible. This week's featured comics are Black Panther: Shuri - Deadliest of the Species, Spider Men II and Punisher: The Platoon. We also have time for another movie (we really are a comics and manga podcast, honest!), with Takashi Miike's adaptation of Hiroaki Samura's violent, supernatural samurai manga series Blade of the Immortal.

La Espada del Inmortal (Mugen no Jūnin - 無限の住人), de Hiroaki Samura: El manga está ambientado en el Japón de la era Edo. La historia narra las aventuras de Manji, un guerrero que tiene una gran ventaja sobre sus rivales: ninguna herida lo puede matar. Victorioso en más de cien enfrentamientos a muerte ante otros samuráis, entre ellos el marido de su hermana. La historia nos explica como una monja anciana, de la que se dice que tiene 800 años, le concede el don de la inmortalidad mediante unos gusanos, que le curan cualquier herida y hasta restauran miembros amputados aunque la amputación haya sido hace horas. La muerte de su hermana lo lleva a aceptar la misión que acabará con su inmortalidad: debe matar a mil hombres malvados para redimirse.Actualmente editado por Planeta.Descárgalo AQUÍ  224 exTreBeO micropodcast (en mp3)[BOTÓN DERECHO + GUARDAR COMO]o ESCÚCHALO online pinchando directamente.TODOS NUESTROS PODCASTS EN IVOOX(y en iTunes)

Helo aquí.Resueltos unos cuantos problemas técnicos (consecuencias de no tener más micros que los del Sing Star), aquí está el número 03, que podríamos subtitular como "especial samuráis", y que hemos decidido dividir en dos partes.Así a modo de resumen, entre sake, espadas, sangre, el sonido de un biwa y cabezas ridículamente afeitadas, la primera parte es una narración de la historia samurái... a lo madafaka. Nos hemos dejado, de manera irreverente, fechas y nombres por todos lados, pero la intención era no matar de aburrimiento.PROMOS:Atropellando una piña - frikadas varias, más concretamente cine, y grandes monográficos.Dos horas y media - la espontaneidad al servicio del desvarío, cine también, cosas, y dos colegas amenazados de muerte si no nos promocionan. xDLIBROS:Taikô, de Eiji Yoshikawa.

Así a lo tonto son casi dos horas de podcast, pero una vez grabado ya era demasiado tarde como para tirar para atrás y hacerlo en tres partes.Una cosa que no mencioné en la anterior y aprovecho para hacer aquí es que las canciones que metemos (tanto en una parte como en la otra), aparte de las de los videojuegos Samurai Shodown II, Bushido Blade, Inindo y Samurai Warriors, son de Ensemble Nipponia, siendo las canciones de la segunda parte Edo Komoriuta (Nana de Edo) y Mushi no Aikata (Interludio del insecto), y la de la primera parte: Atsumori (basada en la muerte del joven Taira no Atsumori narrada en los Genji Monogatari (cuentos de los Genji)). Así a modo de resumen, entre sake, espadas, sangre, el sonido de un biwa y cabezas ridículamente afeitadas, la primera parte es una narración de la historia samurái... a lo madafaka. Nos hemos dejado, de manera irreverente, fechas y nombres por todos lados, pero la intención era no matar de aburrimiento. PROMOS:Atropellando una piña - frikadas varias, más concretamente cine, y grandes monográficos.Dos horas y media - la espontaneidad al servicio del desvarío, cine también, cosas, y dos colegas amenazados de muerte si no nos promocionan. xD LIBROS:Taikô, de Eiji Yoshikawa. Y la segunda parte, ya puestos en situación, será un delirio sobre una selección de lo que más nos ha gustado de todo lo que hemos visto, leído, jugado y masticado sobre el tema. PROMOS:Agüesome - series y cachondeo. Actualmente intentando dominar el mundo...Gravina82 - la plaga definitiva XD Si estás leyendo esto, seguramente ya sabes quiénes son y dónde moran.

Eén van de langste, meest gevulde en chronologisch incorrecte episodes van de pod. Nog heel weinig dagen tot Spring FACTS. We springen daarom met een weekje over #89. Die komt nog achter! De pod-o-nauten maken hun borst (en een boel andere anatomisch incorrecte plekken) al nat met een kijkje doorheen de opdravende acteurs, aanstormend en hyper-bekend tekentalent (present company excluded), de cosplay-galerij en veel meer. Art maakt zelfs enkele diepgravende opmerkingen over conventie-ervaringen en nout does the shill-fantastic voor de panels die hij (bijzonder professioneel, beyond the shadow of a doubt) zal modereren. Enjoy!

Shea and Derek are back with their January episode of the manga series. But isn't this the first of week of February? Yes it is, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the guys had to postpone the recording of their January episode and had carry it over into this week. But no worries! They still bring you the same great quality manga analysis, and, in addition, this means that listeners will get a double dose of Shea and Derek's manga talk for the month of February! They begin with Hiroaki Samura's Die Wergelder, Vol. 1 (Kodansha Comics). Those familiar Blade of the Immortal will instantly recognize Samura's style and know that they're in for a dynamic narrative punctuated with what some might feel are scenes of gratuitous sexual violence. In fact, Shea addresses this issue toward the beginning of their discussion, wondering if Die Wergelder might put off some of its readers. Derek argues that these kind of scenes serve a legitimate narrative purpose, especially as it regards one of the book's protagonists, Träne, building character and setting a purposefully disturbing context. This first English-language edition collects the first two volumes of the original Japanese series, which began in 2011, and introduces what is arguably the title's three main protagonists, women with uncertain and even tragic pasts whose stories converge in a narrative of yakuza wars and corporate intrigue. Next, the guys turn to Suehiro Maruo's The Strange Tale of Panorama Island (Last Gasp). Originally published in English in 2013, this is an adaptation of Edogawa Rampo's 1920s novel, a twisted Poe-esque narrative of death, indulgences, and self-reinvention. Derek highlights what he sees as the carnivalesque nature of the story, but a more appropriate descriptive frame would be ero guro (erotic grotesque), a style of art defined by eroticism, decadence, and sexual (at times horrific) indulgence. Indeed, Maruo is known for this kind of manga, perhaps more notably displayed in Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show and the stories collected in Ultra-Gash Inferno. Panorama Island is more tame and lower down the "grotesque" scale than these books, but it's nonetheless a disturbing, nightmarish journey into human desire.

Tsjoeke tsjoeke tsjoeke tsjoeke... BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! De pod-trein wacht voor niemand, zelfs niet voor onze eigen Mighty Tharg (als je Malkavian mist, vermeld het in de comments). De vuurdoop van een nieuwe gast pod-o-naut betekent meteen één van de hevigste BFPs tot nu toe (dat is BrainFreezePodcast, creep!). Het onderwerp werd al meer dan eens aangesneden in diverse rubrieken nieuws en gelezen in voorgaande pods, maar deze keer is het menens. En wellicht zijn de pod-o-nauten er niet eens mee klaar. Simon verzoekt u ook vriendelijk doch dwingend om nog eens zijn review van Guillermo Del Toro films en zijn bespreking van Texas Chainsaw Massacre erbij te halen en in stilte te lezen. IN STILTE! Daarna kunnen we verder.
