Ok, here I was reading my email the other day and Funimation sent me their newsletter I signed up for. I opened it up and there was a new anime that is or will be coming out very soon called Blast Angel. According to the previews, some time in the not so distant future a group has risen to power in Tokyo and they have set up an "Eye for and Eye" type law where revenge and weapon carrying is legit and violence floods the streets (gee, I wonder why). Along comes a gun toting "angel" who is a oddly/mildly questionably dressed woman. She and two companions (I think) go around and start "cleaning up the joint" in a wild west, vigilante sort of way since the government seems to be intent on destroying the people with a "let them kill themselves off" kind of policy. The preview also said that she is an angel, but no body knew "if she was sent from above or sent by way down below."
Tell me if you can what you know, please.
Also, I wanted to know what you all thought of Pon Poko: Heisei Tanuki Wars. The tanukis (racoon dogs) are being crouded out of their ancestral home and can live few other places besides in the forest by the rivers. Mild language, male tanuki scrotums are shown for gender identification, humor, and to attack (gross) humans - historically accurate with the tanuki legends - non-sexual except that two tanukis mate off screen (resulting in a pair of pups) and they make references to abstainence with out ever saying "sex" and it is mostly a Japanese Disney thing with references to DLand. For more info on the film I own a fansub and find it (save for a few parts) pretty good. Just getting yall's opinions.
