Title: Aniplay 2012: When School Becomes a Crossdressing Party
Added by: OmegaKO
Date: 30.06.2012
May 5, 2012 began as an absolutely ordinary day, a bit sunnier than the previous one but also quite calm. There was a hint in the air, though, that this tranquility was actually a lull before the storm. On this day, Aniplay 2012 happened, of course, and it will be remembered exactly for this event by staff and participants, as well as by the public. For those of you who are not familiar with the subject, Aniplay is a quite a serious cosplay acting performance, a statement that can easily be seen from the fact that the popular Bulgarian actor Veselin Rankov was the head of jury... I'll tell you more about this later, though.
Actually, when looked from the point of view of both participants and staff, the day was not as calm as it may have seemed. From a very trustworthy source I know that planning and realizing such an event is almost as emotional (mainly positive, of course!) for the team behind the scenes as the preparation of one of these scenes was for the cosplayers. Volunteers and other people tried to fix any mistakes that have previously occurred; judging by the feeling that was left within me after that day, they did very well. Yet, the participants themselves surely had a pretty exhausting and enervating day, filled with worries, checks and last-minute repairs.
The event itself was divided in two phases, if I could call them like this - inside and outside, of course!
The performance itself was in the Youth Theatre "Nikolay Binev" in Sofia. Although there are things that could be improved (well, what would we do if there was no way for improvement?), there were definitely a lot of changes from the past years and most of the mistakes were absent. The performance part was divided into three - the two first groups "Bleach" and "The Witcher" were followed by "Shakugan no Shana" and "Crossover Hospital" and the third part - 'award ceremony'. In the schedule, between the three sections there were positioned three separate dancing routines, all of which were previously announced on the official Facebook page of the event.
The stage play this year was definitely very well-rehearsed and on a different level than what would expect from a small country such as Bulgaria. Naturally, there were tiny technical issues with the sound, but there were also quite a lot of fun moments such as a troll arm that flew in a human’s face, i.e. three out of the four plays were mainly comedy acts, which is probably the reason why the boy and girls from "The Witcher" stood out from the lot, but of course, it was visible that some of the cosplayers had put in more efforts than others.
"Bleach" was the first cosplay play and it was a combination of heavy battles between Ulquiorra and Ichigo, as well as the sudden and necessary "Kurosaki-kun" by Orihime. Also, the Primera and Terça Espada were carefully watching everything that happened on the stage, so carefully, that at one point Barragan wished to go and show Kurosaki how a real Espada fights… He wasn’t successful, but at least he’s got his health insurance.
Songs and the sound of a guitar accompanied "The Witcher", joined by the marvelous fighting abilities of the Witcher himself… From the very opening sequence it was obvious that a lot of blood will be spilled, both witcher blood and human blood. The images that were being shown behind the actors, aiding the feeling of reality, also made a great impression. Another very important side were the fighting demonstrations that were played by both female and male cosplayers as though they were real professionals in this.
"Shakugan no Shana" was the third topic and will definitely be remembered.
Although the audience was pretty loud during their presentation, a reaction that was due to the large intervals between each scene, many of the characters are favorite of the crowd. In order to understand the jokes, there was no need to know the story, which alone shows just how well the idea was adapted.
At the end of the day, the most blood was spilt during "Crossover Hospital" where everyone wanted to kill everyone… however, it was the poor Death the Kid that ended up the most unfortunate one, because, in a very asymmetrical way, everyone fell victim to the might of a very kawaii (cute) pet.
Apart of the troll and the great game by the young Triss from "The Witcher", there is no way to forget the poor woman who died a terrible death, falling victim to Stephanie Myers. In the documents it was written: "Cause of Death: Boredom and Sparkling Vampires". That was a definite winner by the guys and girls from Crossover Hospital. Ichigo from "Bleach" was also amazing with his movable jaw, but he should learn to turn off his phone when fighting a life-or-death battle! "SPARTA!" shouted the team from Shakugan no Shana; but it, as well as Margery Daw’s bottle of alcohol, wasn't enough for them to win the competition.
A lot of the guests wanted to give their vote for the great hosts of the show, who gave the event a very large dose of high-class comedy during the pauses. Well, who doesn't like some crossdressing?
Amongst the judges - the people who made the most important decisions - was Veselin Rankov. He’s a Bulgarian actor who voices Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean), Rene from "’Alo ‘Alo", Eddie Murphy and more for the Bulgarian televisions and cinema films. But actually… this is one of the most famous Bulgarian actors as a whole - theatre and cinema included. Judges were also Yavor Borisov, an actor from the Sofia Theatre of Satire, the Sofia "Tear and Laugh" Theatre, "Sfumato", and has also participated in many cinematic productions. Last but not least, Gustav Ljungdahl was also part of the list of special guests. He's an experienced cosplayer from Sweden who represented his country at Eurocosplay 2011. Oh yes - he doesn't like trolls anymore!
These were the people who had to be decisive and chose the first Bulgarian participant for Eurocosplay 2012. She is Nessi Sokoleva and played Triss Merigold from "The Wicther". The other winners from "Aniplay 2012" are: Best Female Cosplayer - Hristina Balabanova (Shana from "Shakugan no Shana"), Best Male Cosplayer - Ivan Dimitrov (The Witcher from "The Witcher"). Eli "Shadow" Nikolova’s Best Script Award was won by Kiril Georgiev (for "The Witcher" presentation). The audience voted "The Witcher" as the best group of the day. A Mana-sama cosplay was chosen by the public as the best out of the guests’ cosplays.
After all of this, according to an old tradition, everybody relocated to a local park and they lived happily ever after… or not exactly. While an intense session of photoshooting, video recording and talks was going on, Mother Nature decided that it was about time for "Aniplay 2012" to officially end. Under the spring rain shower, elves, witchers and the real warriors did not give up, but it was still the final of a great day for Bulgarian cosplay. At the end of the day, although the badly air-conditioned theatre was suffocating, the only thing that managed to suffocate the staff, the performers and the public was laughter, a by-product of one great spring day.

Title: Crossing over to WebM
Added by: OmegaKO
Date: 29.06.2011
With the evolution of HTML5, WebM has secured a spot for itself as a leading video codec. That is why AnimeRulezzz will begin recoding of all the videos with the aforementioned codec. The difference in quality can be noticed in the more recent episodes in the "Anime Online" section. The users of Internet Explorer 9 or above will be most pleasantly surprised. Recoding all of the old videos will take time. We thank you for your understanding and patience. I hope you enjoy the better quality.
As for version 3 of our site, well its still in development. Patience, please!

Title: Jappix
Added by: OmegaKO
Date: 01.05.2011
 After a long time of silence it's now time for a fresh news announcement. We'll introduce you to the latest gadget of our website.
Do you remember the online Jabber/XMPP client JWChat that we had released a while ago? It's was functional, but it wasn't very comfortable and its looks weren't very good. Well, that client is no longer active for some time now, which did cause some difficulties with the people who wanted to chat, but do not wish to install anything additional to do it.
Today it's time for an improvement in the communication department. We present to you an attractive web Jabber client. Its name is Jappix and it's free software. You are free to register a user account on our Jabber server. If you happen to already have one on a different server, you could use that one as well, without the need to register again.
Using our server you can chat with people from all public worldwide Jabber servers (including Google Talk), ICQ and IRC. Our server is not tied to a specific Jabber end-user client program, so you are free to use whichever you like (as well as the online webbrowser version). This new extension Jappix is a convinience for the people who don't wish to bother to install anything. You can give it a try by clicking on "Web Chat" from the main navigational menu of the website (it's to the left).
With Jabber you can create chat rooms, connect with our humble anime community (AnimeRulezzz.org), as well as with millions of people from the entire WWW.
If you happen to run into a problem with this new addition to our website, or if you just wish to chat with someone, don't hesitate to come by our official conference (groupchat) room "animerulezzz" (the full addres of the room is "animerulezzz@conference.animerulezzz.org").

Title: Shaft
Added by: djhot
Date: 01.04.2011
 Happy April Fool's Day! No, no... Don't worry, this update is not a joke.
Have you ever heard of the anime studio Shaft? In the past four years it became one of the most respected and loved studios, and consequently one of the most hated. After all, the line between love and hatred is as thin as a sheet of paper.
Shaft were originally founded in 1975, but until early 2000 they didn't do much. After that they completed a few cooperative projects with studios like Gainax and consequently they picked up some momentum. In 2004 Kubota Mitsutoshi becomes CEO of Shaft, which marks the beginning of a new era for the studio.
Since then the producers Shinbou Akiuki, Oonuma Shin and Oota Kozuhiro start participating in almost every project the studio had, first of which was Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase. Shinbou's style is the one that pops out the most of the three. And thus it's the most used one. In 2007 Shaft make their big hit in the anime industry with the adaptation of "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei", which is the starting point for their golden age. After that the studio just keeps getting bigger and improves.
What do they have to offer? Well, for starters, amazing art — you won't find another similar to theirs. Ever-changing picture, full of countless colors, beautiful backgrounds, hidden and not so hidden messages popping here and there, a wonderful design and a lot more.
It's a bit difficult to explain, but after watching an anime such as "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" or "Bakemonogatari" you will know what the fuss is all about.
But that's not all. The aspect, which I personally like the most in their productions, is the absurdity and madness.
That's right. A big part of their productions is focused on the absurdity of the human society, of our way of living and/or thinking, and there is no doubt that the anime "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" is the one that most vividly portrays that feature. As a side note "SZS" is one of my all-time favorite animes.
The conversations. A large portion of the new animes from Shaft is based around the conversations between characters and it's certainly one of the most important aspects depicted in their titles. Normally, there are a lot of conversations and in those we see the characters, the relationships between them, their rise and fall. Through well-made conversations we can feel and understand what the characters are feeling or thinking. We can easily be laughing with them or going mad with them.
The music. With animation such as Shaft's, music needs to be well choreographed with each sudden change of scenery and well matched with the conversations between characters, only helping to set the mood just right. We can come across all sorts of music in their different projects, ranging from classic to modern.
Well, truth be told, I have personally given only two of their anime titles the perfect score of 10 out of 10, but in general I like most of their work — for the original style of work.
Try them for yourselves!
Animes in this update:
- Arakawa Under the Bridge
- Bakemonogatari
- Maria Holic
- Natsu no Arashi
- Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
- Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru
My next big update will be with a comedy/romantic setting:
Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (comedy), ef – a tale of memories/melodies (Shaft, romantic drama), Кami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (romantic comedy) and Seitokai no ichizon (comedy).
Eventually, in some other wonderful and not so lazy day the next major update will be made:
Aoi Bungaku Series (drama/historical/psychological/thriller), Akagi (gambling/thriller), Kaiji (gambling/thriller) и The Tatami Galaxy (psychological comedy).
(There is plenty more where that came from, and most of it is serious stuff. But we can't force down everything at once.)
Here's what's up next on my schedule and I will probably upload from the new season:
Gintama (2011) (04.04.), Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Hakairoku Hen (06.04.), Sket Dance (07.04.), Hem Zemi (2001) (08.04), Maria Holic Alive (08.04), Yondemasu yo, Azazel-san (2011) (08.04.), Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal (11.04.), Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai II (12.04.), C (15.04.), Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko (15.04), Deadman Wonderland (17.04.), Katte ni Kaizou (25.05.).
Of course, we reserve the right, at anytime, to change, modify, add or remove, any portions or parts of these aforementioned anime titles. So don't blame me if I don't live up to your expectations (I'm used to being an ass) or if I live up to your expectations and beyond (impossible).
* * *
Possible questions and answers.
Q: Why are there no new episodes of "Madoka"?
A: Because of the recent earthquake in Japan, Shaft postponed the last two episodes to a date somewhere in April.
Q: Why are there no new episodes of "Gosick"?
A: A small delay because of the earthquake and because of the recap episode.

Title: Three in one!
Added by: djhot
Date: 10.03.2011
Delicate and childish trailers, posters and speeches… Shaft and Urobuchi Gen did everything possible to showcase Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (also known as Puella Magi Madoka Magica) as a kind-hearted, heart-warming tale for children, a typical mahou shoujo anime. And thus begins this anime… Everything seemed normal for such an anime, excluding the odder art characteristic for the anime studio Shaft. Suddenly the world is turned upside down… One girl gets eaten alive, another one goes crazy, and the seemingly sympathetic and benevolent magical being, which at the beginning performs miracles and gives power for justice, starts to look like a monster. Without a doubt Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica shook (and it's not even a completed anime) the mahou shoujo genre and it will be remembered and copied a long time after its end.
Level E is a creation of the renowned author of Hunter x Hunter and Yu Yu Hakusho – Yoshihiro Togashi. This is the story of the biggest intergalactic prankster who has just become the protector of Earth. Sure enough, he doesn't waste his time, and as soon as he arrives he begins terrorising everything he gets his hands on, dragging quite a few people into his absurd games and twisted plans.
I'm assuming that everyone has heard of the famous fictional detective Sherlock Holmes from the titular novels by the British writer Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Now imagine the detective as a young 17-years-old. Let him be a short woman with golden hair and emerald eyes. Now lets turn Watson into a Japanese boy who has escaped to Europe. This is what the anime Gosick is like and on top of it all it's actually pretty interesting! The delicate artwork and the seemingly cute design of the characters just helps to bring a more beautiful and enchanting feel to the world back then, meanwhile filled with all sorts of crimes and a large number of brutal and twisted murders and schemes.
As usual, you can find the animes, OSTs and manga chapters in the "Download" section, or you can read the manga titles online right here, from the site itself!
For more information about the aforementioned titles, please head over to the "Animepedia" section.
* * *
So, here is the promised trio of ongoing animes! Tomorrow there will be a new episode of one of them (Madoka Magica).
The next task I have for myself is to upload animes from my surprisingly favourite studio – Shaft. I will be focusing on some of their better animes from 2007 up until today. In other words, since the start of Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, a.k.a. since Shaft became what it is today. In the mean time, I might find something else to upload.
Well, I (djhot) wish you all a fun time watching these!

Title: Gintama
Added by: djhot
Date: 09.03.2011
 Be ready to get struck by laughter!
Beginning at a relatively slow pace, firstly introducing us to its main heroes, it doesn't take long before Gintama (The Silver Soul) becomes one of the best comedy anime and manga franchises ever made, perhaps even one of the best comedies ever to hit the big screen. It contains humor for everyone — from the well-known situational humor, to the black humor, even going as far as to feature toilet humor at some points. The anime, however, has a lot more to offer than the things described above.
Sometimes that can be a good heart-warming drama, in other cases it could lean towards deep philosophical insights, there are even some well-made battles to enjoy. The anime is primarily episodic, which means that most episodes are standalone, without baring any connection to each other (apart from the same characters). Even so, with time we can easily feel the character and world development in Gintama, and most of all the ever increasing overall level of quality of the anime, a quality many times surpassing the limits of most Shonen Jump manga, which usually restrict themselves to mere banalities and stereotypes.
Gintama also contains story arcs, a series of interconnected episodes, which unfortunately are few and far in between and normally feature just 4–5 episodes each — these can be serious, as well as comical.
Hideaki Sorachi, the mangaka artist behind Gintama, was born in 1979. He was a big manga lover from early childhood and he tried to write some manga of his own, his humor originating from back then. He depicts himself in his works as a gorilla. Before Gintama the author had released just one oneshot manga, titled Dandylion, and one can easily spot the obvious similarities between the characters in that early work and those in Gintama.
In 2003 a highly popular TV drama about Shinsengumi was being aired in Japan and Sorachi's editor commissioned him to write something about Shinsengumi, which is a fact that becomes quite apparent in the first couple of episodes of Gintama. However, later on Sorachi continued his work as his personal taste dictated — the way he wanted for the series to be. In fact, at first Sorachi actually wanted to start a manga with which to parody the popular "Harry Potter" series. But this changed, and so, due to Gintama's increasing success Sorachi became one of the most well-known, creative and highly entertaining mangakas to have ever lived…
As of now, the status of the anime series Gintama is complete (with a total episode count of 201), but the manga continues. It is expected that the animated continuation to the original anime will start airing on 04.04.2011 (this year), under the name Gintama (2011).
As always, you can find the anime episodes, the OST and the manga in our "Download" section, or you can read the manga right here, in the website (section "Manga Online" → Gintama)!
For more information about the work itself, please visit our "Animepedia" section (but note that the articles may not be translated into English yet!).
* * *
You can soon expect to see the addition of three new ongoing anime series to AR! Their titles are the following: Gosick, Level E and Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica.
Well, for now this is all there is from me, djhot… Enjoy watching and reading the new series, and for those who have noticed — yes, I don't like Fractale. ;)
