News Taro Rin?
posted on 2002-01-25 11:09 EST
Director's name improperly westernized.
Assuming that all Japanese names are family name first and that "Rintaro" (or Rin Taro as it is often (mis?)printed) is the director of Metropolis' true name, this Hollywood Reporter decided to westernize the director's name as "Taro Rin." However "Rintaro" is merely a pseudonym, the popular director's True name is Hayashi Shigeyuki (family name first).

One of those blustery, everyone-
The Last of Us is about the thick skin we've built for ourselves and, underneath that, the places where we secret our hurt.
Underneath all the explosive polygons and proper nouns, Remember Me is a game that has no idea what it's actually about.
The Princess and the Pilot [Premium Edition] Sub.Blu-Ray
A half-breed pilot is tasked with secretly transporting a future Empress across thousands of miles of open ocean in this 2011 movie from Madhouse. Its simple, straightforward tale offers some great highlights.
Tiger & Bunny Blu-Ray 2
Interesting character developments and comic book-style twists are the norm in this generally fun second half. Some may find the plot twists to be irksome, but they don't keep it from being entertaining.
Jormungand GN 11
The ending of Jormungand has something important to say ... but never figures out the actual message.

Sunny GN 1
Sunny is an interesting glimpse into the lives of children who feel that the world has forsaken them and how they manage to cope with the help of an old car and a little imagination.

Missions of Love GN 2
Ultimately Missions of Love still reads like a sexy book for middle schoolers. Yukina is far from a likeable heroine, neither Shigure nor Akira come off as particularly desirable male leads, and the less savory elements of the story detract from its romance components.

Random Fun
If you know anything about the first series, then you already know what to expect: maximum boobs, maximum pantyshots, and zero intelligence.
