I got to see Marine Express at an Osamu Tezuka exhibit they are having in D.C. for the next few weeks. They will be showing a few other movies that I will be trying to check out.

Marine Express was a strange movie. I'd my best imaginary description of it is like Tezuka must have watched a ton of movies one day, went to bed, got up and just started writing a script from start to finish, and then was like animate this. It's kind of all over the place from pretty serious and, to really freaking goofy. Where the movie starts out as seems to have no correlation of what it ends up as. And features some of the most amusingly stilted exposition "Rock you are an adopted Caucasian and I'm Polynesian" is seriously a line from it.

It was still very enjoyable. I dragged my friend along and he ended up really liking it also. The subs for it were apparently Australian so there my be an Australian DVD of it somewhere.

This page give a run down of it, from all the characters to pretty much a telling of the whole plot if you are intrested.

And here is a youtube video with clips and the whole opening theme:

Lucky! I only have 1 of the hard covers. A local comic book store has the two others but I already have the paperbacks. I actually just picked up volumes 6 and 7 last night.

I have the first few volumes of Black Jack including the 3 hard cover volumes. I've really enjoyed them so far. I need to get the rest when I have money again.

Heh, I love how I say that when I'm guilty of scanning two chapters of Buddha.
Also, don't expect more chapters anytime soon, my scanner software is messed up.

Ugh, I was hoping people would be motivated to actually purchase the volumes themselves. Meh, whatever gets people to read it I guess.
