Sutorîto faitâ II gekijô-ban (1994)
Ryu, the vagabond and legendary street-fighter awaits the greatest challenge of his life.
This Japanese Manga is superb. Based on arguably the most popular game in the history of versus fighting martial arts, is the movie of Ryu, who is at least the best fighter on this planet. His is the part I like the most in the movie, other than loving his character, the moment I saw him in the game in the eighties. The way his character is portrayed in the movie, is the way it should be and the way I imagined him: spiritual, lonely, wandering and most of all challenging. The story is overshadowed by the strong appearances of characters. For street fighter fans this must be a treat for their eyes as well as their soul. Check out its dialogs in this connection, which are not just dramatic but soul stirring. Ryu is the character from which I started connecting with Japanese video-game warriors, heroes, characters and their Mangas. So to come up to my expectations, it must have been a great effort(anime) and I tell you, it is.
Sazan aizu (1991)
Yakumo Fuji used to be a normal kid that is until he met a three hundred year old teenage girl named Pai.
This is a great and must watch anime for all of you anime fans. I like the movie very much and have seen it over and over again (which should give you the idea that this is no ordinary Japanese Manga). The fact which makes it amazing is hidden in the mystery which revolves around one of its main characters; a girl which looks like a teenager but actually is over three hundred years old and has great powers, revealed only when a third eye appears on her forehead. She is one of the last survivors of a long lost immortal race known as Sanjiyan. The story revolves around the girl, and her efforts in trying to find a statute with magical powers, the only key to granting her most desired wish. In her journey a boy who is bound to her destiny by fate joins in to help and assist her is a character which I will remember forever. The story takes many twists and turns and the end is worth the wait. The movie is special because it will make you laugh and cry when it wants to, characteristics of a great movie don't you think.
