Skull 13 is a creation that follows the trend of the world and is based on current events. The occurrence and context of large and small events became the information collected by Takao Saito. Thirty years of world history are clear in Skull 13. So that people who read cartoons can roughly understand the changes in the world, from the "Persian Gulf War", "NATO repairs Yugoslavia", "Clinton's love history", "Hollywood at the end of the century", to "the assassination of the pope"... It can all be seen on the other side of Skull 13. Skull 13 deals with a large number of historical, political, economic, terrorist, group crime, and natural disaster events. The protagonist uses the code name "Golgo 13", sometimes referred to as "G", and calls himself "Sniper", "Sunset Shadow", and "Wave of Rage". He is an East Asian with a balance and a strong will that will surprise Olympic coaches.
PS: In terms of human design, DUCK is the most professional of the killer works I have ever seen, and it is a serious and cold image from beginning to end, followed by "Killer Ah Yi". Uncle Skull has a classic line: Don't stand behind me. From the expressions and details can be seen that the character image design is too good ~ plot, the background of this work is the real world of the full-scale Cold War local hot war ~ The work describes the legendary story of DUCK in the form of a unit drama, and in the form of a small view, from the story of the characters can be deduced from the pattern of the world ~ There are several very impressive scenes: 1. In the face of the woman who loves her deeply and her own concealment, DUCK does not hesitate to choose to kill her. 2. Facing his own child, DUCK did not choose to adopt, but only said: May God bless you. In addition, the manga of this game has not been completed since it was serialized in 1968, and the changes in world history are clear at a glance.
2. I love you je t'aime
Categories: Connotation, Oshii Mori, Anti-War, Propaganda Film
Duration: 12 minutes short film
In Tokyo, Japan, where clear skies, airplane clouds hang high above the sky. The cries of seagulls echo on the surface of the sea, and the quiet water reflects the color of the sky. Under a bridge, the cute Bagidoo Hound wakes up from sleep. It paced slowly into the street, and the armored car abandoned in the middle of the cross street had long been the branch where the crows perched. Asakusa, Tokyo, once bustling, could not see a single figure, as if the hound was the only owner of the empty city. It wanders the streets, looking for the human beings who play the ball game with it in their dreams, such an ordinary wish, and now it has become a luxury. On this day, a humanoid robot came to the empty city and slowly floated in front of the thunder gate. Her arrival seemed to make the puppy more excited than ever...
This film is a promotional film for Oshii Mori invited to contribute to the latest single "Satellite of Love" of 2010 by the famous Japanese visual band Glad, and is included in the first limited DVD.
PS: This film first renders an apocalyptic scene, the creatures in the whole town are only one Bajidu ~ then I will not spoil ~ read other people's comments, found that it is not the same as my idea of the plot Ah ~ I think the dog is just very lonely and wants to make a friend. It also fully embodies the long-cherished wish of opposing war and praying for peace. In addition, under the rendering of the music, I actually shed tears in such a short work. Please make a note of the song "satellite of love" - GLAY..... I fell in love with the band ever since
3. Village doctor
Categories: Connotation, Koji Yamamura, Kafka, Weird, Spiritual Curiosity
Duration: 21 minute clip
Rating: 8 points
On a snowstorm night, the village doctor (voiced by Chisaku Shigeyama) has to brave the snow to see a seriously ill patient in a village ten miles away, but his horse dies. It was snowing so hard that I couldn't move forward. The doctor's beautiful maid Rosa (voiced by Kanehara ひとみ) borrows horses everywhere, but no one answers. At this time, a strange man (Voiced by Shigeyama Seven-Five-Three) agrees to lend him a horse, and the quid pro quo is Rosa. The doctor had no time to take care of him, rushed to the patient's home, and found that it was only a false alarm, and the attitude of the family made the doctor's heart change dramatically.
PS: This work is another new style of painting that I have seen, the size and shape of the characters are changing all the time, and it looks very depressing and exquisite. The voice of the doctor is the Japanese national treasure level fanatic Shigeyama Chisaku, and adds a strange atmosphere ~ This work is not only the atmosphere of the work, from the plot point of view should be the author in the denunciation of the moral kidnapping in the medical treatment, at the beginning the patient does not care about the disease, does not accept treatment, and when the illness is terminally ill, he turns to the doctor for help, at this time he is unable to return to the sky, the patient will push the responsibility to the doctor. Later, I followed koji Yamamura's other works
4. Gun God Trigun
Category: Love and Peace, Handsome, Road Movies
Duration: 26 episode TV version, 2010 theater version
Rating: 8.8
《God》 Netari Yu Naito Yasuhiro's original manga version TRIGUN (Trigan) reform.
The story begins with Merrillus and Millie, two teenage girls who claim to be from the Belenati Insurance Association, who are trying to get the clue to the "Hurricane of the Century." But when the two of them met this Fashu Steinbitt, who was "dressed in red, with blond hair, and earrings around his ears," it was impossible to imagine that he was "the legendary dangerous man who completely destroyed a city overnight, the most dangerous wanted man." How could this gentle man who shouted "LOVE & PEACE" all day long and loved donuts be the most evil Dharma cultivator. After the trip, they took care of each other, helped and protected many people in difficulty, spent a lot of dangers together, and became very good friends. Everything was peaceful until the advent of GUNG-HO-GUNS, everything changed, and Fashu even opened the killing ring. What does this "mission to exterminate humanity" super killer group GUNG-HO-GUNS have to do with Fa Xiu? What challenges will they face?
PS: Because it is a road movie, there is a sense of mystery and anticipation and the feeling of growth ~ This game is a bit routine in some aspects, such as the setting of the villain's top ten cadres, but the overall plot is still very heavy. The character image created in this work is too classic, I feel that the image of the gun god in the DNF is very similar to Vash, and I also specially cobbled together a set of fashions that look most like Vash. However, the character of the protagonist Madonna Gun God is still a little unhappy ~ My favorite character in this game is actually Wolfwood, warm-hearted but not so indecisive, not inferior to Vash, and also very handsome! In the TV version, I regretted that I had a long, long time when I died, and I was still in his hands

Fighting the Empire is still too small. Wait a minute, build up your strength here and wait for the right moment."
Myers lived here for two years, on the day he was about to turn 16...
PS: The motivation for watching this work is feelings, the plot of the OVA animation of Fire Emblem is not too exciting, the plot is from the Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light, but the animation is similar to the stick reading, there is no ups and downs. But I still wanted to be animated~ but because the popularity of animation was too low at that time, I was cut off after this work was broadcast for two sentences. What a pity
Do you remember the characters in these pictures?
6. Song of the Birds
Category: Colorful, female ghost characters, sound comics
Duration: 35 minutes short film
On an ordinary day, "I" followed a familiar path home. Somehow I was suddenly attracted by the slightly strange arrow sign on the ground. So, I ghostly followed the most curved arrow to a completely unfamiliar neighborhood. It was raining in the sky, and in a hurry, a beautiful girl (voiced by Hiroko All Mouth) waved to me. She was dressed in a kimono as bright as blood, and her skin was as smooth and white as ice and snow. After the rain stopped, although there were many reluctances, I still went on the road, and the meeting would come to her again.
Who knew that this was a fifty-year-long separation, and the dreamlike experience was hidden in the depths of memory. Until I staggered back to my hometown, I accidentally met the girl who had never aged at all. After a long reunion, we tell stories that seem to never end...
PS: Although this work was released in 2007, it is full of a sense of the times, because this is a story that spans 50 years ~ when I was a teenager, I mistakenly entered the ghost street, where I met my lover who I could not forget in my life ~ The more I grew up, the more vague the memory, I have long forgotten this memory, and when I am old, I return to my hometown, goodbye to the girl who has never aged, and I feel a thousand emotions... This is a dreamlike love hidden in the depths of memory, the interweaving of reality and dreams, the connection between consciousness and memory ~ in the middle of the work, it seems that you can't hear the sounds around you, and you are in a trance
7. The Egg of the Angels
Categories: Literary, Obscure, Religious, Mysticism, Experimental Animation
Duration: 71 minutes short film
Average review score: 7.9
The film is set in a surrealist world full of shadows and dark colors, and the protagonists of the plot are two teenagers (voiced by Nezu Hechihachi) and a young girl (voiced by Makoto Hyoto) whose names are not mentioned. Carrying a mysterious egg with her, the maiden spends much of her time collecting bottles and handicrafts in a Goethe-style dead city. Carrying a cross-shaped weapon, the teenager also came to town one day with a mysterious machine. At the same time, the figure of the giant coelacanth appeared above the town, and the people in the city also came alive in groups and began to hunt these fish with spears. In the girl's cave-like bottle, it was like a shelter, and it contained a collection of gourds. The teenager waited for the girl to fall asleep and broke the mysterious egg. The girl acted angry and followed the teenager who had left. Finally, the girl sank into the valley and died, and the bubbles that came out of her mouth finally turned into eggs.
The film was released by Tokuma Shoten in 1985 and republished on DVD in 2007, with the collaboration of Japanese director Mori Oshii and renowned illustrator Kitaka Amano. The narrator of the film is Keiichi Noda.
PS: Like most people who watch this work, I feel that I can't understand it, so I look for the author's aesthetics along the way, plus I like the hand-drawn (this work seems to be hand-drawn) works very much, so I read it ~ the insider has a high evaluation of this work, the audience interest is not too much ~ This is experimental animation, incorporating too many authors' ideas, especially this kind of "Impressionist" master ~
8. Demonic Bodhisattvas

Duration: 1 OVA
Rating: 7 points
Telepathic-like superpowers, but qualities and expertise of people dedicated to the machine to carry out science and technology. "The premise is that it does not carry out a mental swoop of genius (or supernatural ability) for the protagonist to prescribe characteristics of local works.
However, the professional diver of The Dream Pillow's work is "Warcraft Hunting (Obscene)" was not originally present. Nearly two and a half years before the serial ("The Dark Festival of the Female Body" in the February issue of "Novel" Showa 58 (1983)), the spirit diver of Ma Ming (and Ma Ling), the short story "You, Where the Dry Season and Bar" was published in the October issue of Whimsical Showa 55 (1980), appeared.
In addition, in komatsu Sakyo's short story "The Knot of Gordy", which was awarded at the 9th Nebula Awards (Japan Short Story Division) in 1978, the spirit diver is known as the spirit infiltrator of the spirit (インベスティゲイション) and even a spiritual explorer. Career debut. In addition, "サイコ・デテクティブ" claims to be the protagonist's own job of cleaning the filth of the sink "diver" like something and explains, so the possibility of the idea of the term "spirit diver" of the dream pillow is also very large ("converter" Komatsu works origin. The author himself states).
PS: I may not forget this work even after a long time ~ the biggest reason is music!! My generation was deeply shocked by the two songs in the work, and felt that this kind of soundtrack could not appear in the animation! Both songs are sung by Iwao Runzi, this name is believed to be more familiar to everyone ~ to be honest, the animation of the painting and storyboard is not very good, the character lines are a little less, the action connection is not very coherent ~ but the painting style is still great, especially the female protagonist ~ Comprehensive point of view, the biggest highlight is indeed the music ~ the following picture is the female protagonist and the male protagonist
