One Last Review

With it being the last post and all, trying to finish the story, I would rush the ending because I do that when I write, so instead I will just make a beautiful review of something good. Let's talk about Vandread (WARNING WARNING SPOILERS), the best mecha anime ever created, and let's just say that is the most accurate thing I can call it. Vandread takes place in the future after, a way not really explained, men and women live apart and are at war with one another and a very small population even knows they used to live together. Men are made with a machine in a lab and women have perfected artificial birth, so women are made basically the same as they are made now, just without the men. So in the first episode the men are planning an assault and it's the day they are going to attack with the new Vanguard units of mechas. A boy who works in a factory named Hibiki Tokai sneaks into the speech and listens. So some stuff happens that isn't very important to the plot, and then Hibiki, a doctor named Duelo Mcfile, and a rich-boy who becomes a big part of Nirvana named Bart Garsus get captured by the girls they go to attack on a ship named Nirvana. 

The women on the Nirvana are pirates actually and live off world, and the women have mechas called Dreads. The main female the show focuses on is Dita Liebely who is romantically involved with Hibiki as the show goes on, and refers to him as Mr. Alien. Also by romantically involved I mean it's very widely hinted that they have some sort of thing going on. So aside from characters the plot is about these Harvesters who are aliens that go around and destroy all living things to live on, and a constant struggle between the Harvesters and the crew of the Nirvana. So the show Vandread almost works with Vanguard and Dread, and when Hibiki's ship accidentally fuses with Dita's ship, they become the first shown Vandread. The show has two seasons and a manga after the two called Vandread extra stage. The seasons are referred to as Stages by the way. Anyways I give this show a 124/124 because it is one of the top two animes for me, but don't take my word for it, watch it on Netflix.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 10

The clash of blades lets of several sparks. Blood of both human and demon lay on the ground. Exhaustion is setting in on both sides, everything seems to be setting into an end. The final battle is an hour into action, and at most another hour will last, anymore and death may hit both sides. Shuene and Heisa are both breathing deeply, and Heisa breaks the silence, "I guess this has gone on long enough, time to end it". Shuene replies, "I couldn't agree more, I think you won't like it though". Heisa breaks all 8 seals within his body, and the demon within him breaks out, after all, the final battle is for it all, so even death won't stop the Dark Lord. Shuene notices the seals breaking and decides he can perhaps make all the elements come forth. Shuene steps into a pose but before anything can happen, Heisa charges him and knocks the wind straight from him and sends him flying away. Shuene took a deadly blow, and anymore may be too much to handle, Heisa comes at him again, and takes out his foot then hits him dead in the throat. Shuene falls, not moving, continuous waves of attacks, both fists, and the Demon Blade, breaking into the boy, slowly killing him.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 9

Heisa stands up and begins to clap, then scoffs at Shuene and Punches through the floor, and a pool of shadow surrounds where his hand broke, and he slowly pulls his hand up. In his grasp, a blade made of the pure evil innards of the devil itself. "I, who killed the dark lord, I who led the legions of hell to earth, I who rule the darkness, who do you think you are? Nothing, you pale near the power I possess", announces Heisa. Shuene knows that that blade can pierce through any light, if he is hit, it will be game over, he is on the back-foot for the first 15 minutes of this fight, dodging every swing, luckily the are slower then himself, but he can't make any attacks. Then he hears an echo in the back of his head that tells him to put out his left hand, and a shining crack breaks in the sky, and a blade comes through. Shuene smiles and replies, "I am the light-bringer, sorry that I have to take out the ruler of darkness". The Sky-Breaker, the blade forged by the angels for the Armageddon War to vanquish darkness, and to counter the blade Heisa forged. The blades clash and A nova of Yi, pure balance between dark and light, erupts throughout the building and the whole structure shatters and sends Shuene and Heisa to the Other-world, the masters of both core elements battlefield. The battle is now at the greatest peak, the fight for earth, the fight for all that is and was and ever will be, in the hands of a boy, and a demon.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 8

Much like the blind monk, Shuene has gained a light that shines brighter then all others by losing his sight. After all, the only way to become pure, is to see no, speak no, and hear no evil. Shuene rushes up to the other new generals and makes quick work of them, by simply burning all their bodies with light almost as great as the sun. The three veterans remain, seeming unmoved by this show of arts. Down on the field of glory, Lilli and the rest of her allies are winning slowly, and pushing toward the citadel, when the light beams out and simply melts all the demons in the path. Lilli and the remaining 45 of her legion run to the citadel, where the light glows on. All three of the generals charge Shuene, but with three fingers he holds all the attacks at bay, then flicks the fingers sending the dead flying to the ceiling. When they land with a crash, each at the same time see a light, very thin, pierce one another dead bulls-eye in the forehead. The two strongest and their master are all that remains. Shuene grabs the bodies of those dead, and throw them at the door standing between him and victory, the bodies blow the door off it's hinges and Shuene walks in. The two generals come at him with a dark essence, and when they come within three feet the simply vanish, purely vaporized by the light. Heisa stands before him, commander of the undead legions.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 7

A burst of light peeks through the 10 generals and they all fly off and a golden figure stands before them, the element of light. Shuene leaps around, unseen to the generals except an orb of light, in a circle, they all begin to fall, not dead, but hurt all the same, it continues for about three minutes before one general gets the timing down and grabs the orb. The orb has so much energy it actually burns a hole in his hand and the orb continues. Shuene steps once and staggers to a halt, still glowing like the stars themselves. Shuene steps up to one general, a new recruit, probably the replacement of number 12, and in two seconds, he stands the same, but his legs are different, and so is the general's next to him. In a blink of the eye they were cut right down the center and the bodies were mixed and made new ones. The other eight, still alive, start to have fear of this power, it may be too much, how can an element hold this much power and yet be so simple to control.

The Tale of the Blind Monk-

Long ago, there was a monk, a normal human, no gift, but he had charisma and the will to be the most pure monk in all of the world. One day while meditating in a regular monastery, the walls began to crumble and crash down. The bricks flew but the monk did not flinch, and two bricks came in and hit him right in the eyes, sharp broken bricks, and the monk was blinded. Although he lost a sense he did not deter from his path to purity. And so the monk continued training to be the very best. The loss of his sight opened his view to how the world could be viewed through purity, unable to see the corruption of the land, it made it seem as if he had already achieved his goal. So the monk continued onward, thinking he had found purity through loss of his sight, and so he traveled to the warmest place he could find and sat down, and attempted to pull the light from the area, his mind succeeded but his body could not contain it, yet the purity allowed him to stay, a lifeless man sitting, for many years to come. Light is easy to come by, and easier to tame and absorb when you open your world by losing some of it.

Tale of Shuene Book 2: Chapter 6

Shuene knocked a few times before realizing he was at the very bottom of the citadel. He reached out to feel the walls, a sort of outward rectangle filled design, much like several small alleyways crammed close to one another, with walls close enough to climb using body pressure against the walls to propel the body upwards. Shuene notices it almost as if he was reading the book himself, and reached up and climbed the narrow walls. After about 5 minutes his head hits a dense roof, he didn't think about the structure of the building, like most citadels, the base follows up to a big porch-like area only accessible by the stairs.

Shuene tight on time, punches through the ceiling and as if the iron were paper rips a hole through the flooring and pulls himself through. Shuene brushes off takes a stretch and feels a hand touch his shoulder a metal approach his neck. In a swift movement his hand holds a broken wrist of a dead man. He takes a few steps forward when the wind stops, he steps inside the citadel then. 10 figures jump down, out of 12 generals, only 5 remained, but it seems replacements were found. Three of the auras are more veteran whilst the rest seem fresh. All the new and three of the old stand before him, a pile encloses Shuene.
