DRAMA

Beach Boys

2 guys at the beach, one a swimmer recovering from more than his physical injury and the other a stressed out high-achiever. Lovely eye candy for a lazy summer's afternoon.

Big Wing

A sweet fluffy show about a kind hearted girl whose aspiration is to work at the airport where she was born, and how she finds trouble, friendship and love (in that order).

GTO

A 3rd grade university graduate and a hooligan at that, becomes a teacher in a prestigious high school? Who can believe that, and who would expect that he is however just what the students need? Amusing but hey don't emulate this kids.

Itazura no Kiss

Boy kisses Girl. Girl loves Boy, does boy loves girl? Especially when Girl is ditzy and innocent while boy is brilliant but cynical?

Long Vacation

Abandoned at her wedding, a model rushes to the groom's room-mate for help … Thus begins a bonding between her and the young pianist. Music lovers should watch this, even if just for the soundtrack.

The Chef

The Phantom Chef, as he is known, cooks only the best. But he will cook for you only if you can afford his price … 10 million yen! Watch this even if just to see the recipes he can come up with.

ANIME

Card Captor Sakura
(Cantonese or Japanese with Chinese subtitles)

Eatman 98

Bolt Crank, the legendary adventurer who can eat anything only to reform what he has eaten. The first 8 episodes are gripping, the last 2 tho' are not my favourite…

Iria, Zeiram the Animation
(English dubbed)

A young bounty hunter seeks out her prey, the monster that took her beloved brother away from her … But the question is, who is hunting whom?

Kareshi Kanoiyo no Kikyo

Sweet anime about 2 college students and the sweet pangs of first loves … great animation, unique outlook.

Magic Knight Rayearth

Adapted from the manga series, 3 high school girls are forced to take on the role of the protectors of a strange and magical world they are suddenly sucked into. Exciting, but the end is strangely disturbing … not perverse but stirring.

Nazca

A young highschooler is torn when he realises his favourite kendo teacher and his classmates are the reincarnation of his past allies and foes. How could this man, who is almost like his older brother be the warrior whom he must kill in order to save the world? Not the best of anime, but worth a shot.

Saiyuki

Seraphim Call

Review in the works … but from the cover, the animation looks great.

Spirited Away
(Cantonese or Mandarin dubbed)

Mastery of Japanese legends in mordern times. This tale reminds us of the importance of remembering one's name and identity in the fast paced mordern world.

Trigun

Weiß Kreuz (plus OVA Strafe)

Florists by day, assassins by nite … you've got to see this (although for some bizarre reason, the animation is less than constant …). A feast of bishounen!

X the Movie
(Cantonese dubbed)

Based on the manga, this is a stunning visual mastery of the apocalypse. Unfortunately, the storyline is more than rushed due to the fact they tried to squeeze what couldn't be finished in 14 volumes into 2 hours.
