posted on 2012-06-03 14:50 EDT
On Sunday evening, Japanese public broadcaster NHK aired a Computer Kakumei: Saikyō x Saisoku no Zunō Tanjō (The Computer Revolution: The Birth of the Most Powerful and Fastest Brains) special with an anime short (video link) conceived by Parasite Eve author Hideaki Sena. Through the eyes of a high school senior named Mako, the anime depicts how ubiquitous computers have transformed every aspect of life in Tokyo in the fall of 2020.
Sena's science-fiction novel Parasite Eve inspired both a film and a video game series, and all three were released in North America by Vertical, ADV Films, and Square, respectively.

The Princess and the Pilot [Premium Edition] Sub.Blu-The ending of Jormungand has something important to say ... but never figures out the actual message.
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.
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.
Dengeki Daisy began as a romance with some computer crimes thrown in and has morphed into an action story with some romance thrown in. What remains true, however, is that Kyousuke Motomi has created an interesting, fun story with memorable characters who do their best, whether it's for good or ill.
