- (Subbed, Drama/Action)
"Our Daily Bread" Mireille and Kirika take on a job right in France.

that not everything is as it seems!

- 3:35 The Samurai
- (Subtitled, Action/Comedy)
Takeshi is a high school student training to be an honest-to-goodness samurai.
When two girls show up one day to recover a family heirloom, he'll need all his
skills to evade them. But he has one weakness, and they'll use the most shocking
technique to exploit it! It's the hilarious story of a young man facing typical
school worries: studying, hanging out, and samurai girls trying to kill him!

- 4:20 Roujin Z
- (Subtitled, Sci-fi/Action)
Though from the same man who did Akira (Otomo Katsuhiro), this movie's a lot
better. Haruko is a hard-working nursing school volunteer, helping to take care of
the infirm Mr. Takazawa. One day, the government takes him away to be the subject
of a welfare experiment, a robotic bed to care for his every need. It would be okay
if the bed didn't have ideas of its own! This is a very odd, very touching classic
about a girl, an old man, a walking bed, the military, and... well, you'll see!

Um, did we mention Read Or Die
is starting? Okay, okay. For the rest of the schedule, we've got our wrap-up of the excellent
Dual (to be followed with yet anothe new series next month). Noir continues from
its great reception last month, as does Crest of the Stars. We finally get around to
Kodomo no Omocha #21 (we originally stopped with #20 a couple of years ago). And we have
2 of the shows you voted for this month: The Samurai and Roujin Z! They're both
very good in their own ways. The Samurai is a comedy, while Roujin Z is a thoughtful
exploration of how we treat our elderly, though there's still plenty of action in it. And now,
we give you our very own schedule.
