Synopsis: Itou Kaiji, a bum, gets in trouble after the friend whom he cosigned a credit for disappeared. Is there hope for him aboard the ship Espoir?

I never expected I would be blogging about Kaiji. First, I don’t like the graphics and second, I am not into gambling. usagijen suggested that I give the series I try. Well, I did and though it isn’t something that I would rave about, the plot is pretty decent. Kaiji is one fresh alternative if you’re sick and tired of the schoolgirls of this season. I also found out the manga won in the 1998 Kodansha Manga Award under the General category. Basilisk won the same award in 2004, Mushishi in 2006 and Ookiku Furikabutte this year.

Title: Mononoke (モノノ怪)
Scrumptious Meter: 5 (Slice bread!)
Length: 12 episodes

Mononoke seeks to deliver something fresh amidst the moe schoolgirls and lolis that are prevalent in recent anime.

Set in Japan, probably during the Edo period, it follows the Medicine Seller as he fights Mononoke of Japanese lore. Mononoke results when an Ayakashi, a spirit that simply comes into being, unites with strong human emotions such as vengeance, sadness or fear. The Medicine Seller uses the Sword of Exorcism to defeat the Mononoke but in order to unsheathe the sword, Form, Truth and Regret must be present. Form is the product of the intertwined fates of men, Truth is the natural state of all things, and Regret is present in every men’s hearts.

Synopsis: The truth behind Setsuko’s death comes to light.

Ah… the final episode. I hate to see Mononoke end. It was a such a wonderful and unique episode.

Anyway, Moria goes inside the first car. His eyes are bloodshot. He regains his senses and asks where the other passengers went. The Medicine Seller tells him they got off. He says it’s his turn next. I wonder why Moria is still there. Supposedly, he disappeared in the previous episode. Maybe the Mononoke returned him because it isn’t done with him yet.
