Pure Entertainment


Hello Fellow Camels, its been a while yes,
in my case you have to thank the lovely folks at the University for placing so many Mid-terms in one day, AND my last thank you goes to work, who in light of my epidemic studying situation have failed to give me a day off. THANK YOU.
Now onto more interesting things, for the best 4 years the Market in Kuwait in watching T.V. series and shows have gone way way up. Prison Break, Lost, Heroes, Desperate Housewives, House, One Tree Hill, The OC and so on and so forth.......
Even people i know who hate watching T.V. or the effort it takes to buy a DvD and watch it have been going on and on about these shows.
But i have something even better ( i always do, do not deny it ). I am a huge fan of the Japanese Culture, and also their entertainment. First you have to understand, that in Japan shows with stories like the shows in the U.S. exist in a more gripping and sensational manner, the only difference is that its not live action, its an anime. Yes grown people in Japan watch cartoons. Not just any cartoons, but ANIME. Did you know they had Anime that only showed at midnight? those shows usually attract a more mature 18+ viewers, yes my fellow camels... Cartoons for people aged 18+. And i for one have watched many and many of those, and i think they are far more entertaining than the shows shown on T.V.
F.Y.I - Cartoons like Khomaasi, Voltron, Grendizer, Ninja Ninja, are all ANIMES from Japan, but those usually target the smaller generation. But the ones that are for 18+ are not usually translated to Arabic and shown on Space Toon.
Therefore i will give you guys a small taste of what kind of world of entertainment that exists on the other side of the world.
This show is called DEATH NOTE, it is a show that ends after 37 Episodes each episode being 25 min Long. I have to say that thank god i watched it during the holidays because i was stuck in my room for 3 days glued to the T.V.I have to say that it is one the best shows out there, with great imagination to create the story as well as the characters.
I have received many critics not because the show was bad, but because i am a 23 year old who watches cartoons. Simple folk really. But heres a small plot summary of what the story is about.
Yagami Light is an ace student with great prospects, who's bored out of his mind. One day he finds the "Death Note": a notebook from the realm of the Death Gods, with the power to kill people in any way he desires. With the Death Note in hand, Light decides to create his perfect world, without crime or criminals. However, when criminals start dropping dead one by one, the authorites send the legendary detective L to track down the killer, and a battle of wits, deception and logic ensues...

RATING : 5/5
CHECK IT OUT !

Signed, Sealed & POSTED
