What’s good readership, thanks for joining us for the second installment of Cinema Saturday. If you caught last week’s post you already know how this goes down. We here at OkiZoo thought it would be a great idea to show some of our favorite movies, anime, and documentaries on Saturday mornings as a throwback to when everyone was a kid waking up early to watch Saturday morning cartoons. Hey we’re just big kids over here who love to have fun :)

Today’s Cinema Saturday features an awesome anime series entitled: Black Lagoon

Black Lagoon is a manga series written and illustrated by Rei Hiroe, and published in Shogakukan’s Sunday GX since 2002. The animated television series based on the manga aired in Japan from April to June of 2006, totaling twelve episodes. The English language version of the manga is distributed by Viz Media, and the first volume was released on August 12, 2008.

The story follows a team of pirates/mercenaries known as Lagoon Company. Lagoon Company members include Rock (A Japanese businessman, and the lead character who was kidnapped by the Lagoon Company, yet overcomes all to become an integral part of the team), Revy (a.k.a. Two-Hands. She provides the muscle for Lagoon Company, and is exceptionally skilled with using firearms in battle), Dutch (The African-American leader of the Lagoon “Trading Company”. A deadly adversary who captains the PT boat Black Lagoon, and coordinates the crew), and Benny (A former graduate student of the University of Central Florida, he serves as the Lagoon’s technical expert).

Hope you all like these episodes as much as we here at OkiZoo do… but if you’re visiting our blog you already know what’s up, so enjoy!

Cinema Saturday: Black Lagoon Ep. 1 & 2

Author: EL3G | Filed under: OkiZoo Blog

What’s good readership, this is another new segment that OkiZoo will be bringing you on a weekly basis. Not only our we music junkies, but we love movies & anime so it’s only fitting that we bring you some of our favorite flicks for you to enjoy. I figured we’d do this one on Saturdays, as a throwback to when you were a kid watching Saturday morning cartoons, lol. As always the material will be diverse ranging from old movies, anime, documentaries, and more.

We start off this segment w/ the anime series Tokyo Tribe 2

Writer and designer Inoue Santa (Rinjin 13-go, Born 2 Die, Tokyo Grafitti) was already well known for his manga and his art before he created the successful manga title “Tokyo Tribe” back in 1993. “Tokyo Tribe” ran for a number of years and detailed the lifes of different gangs or tribes in Tokyo. Since Santa was born in 1968, he grew up on Hip Hop culture and was heavily influenced by it, he decided to infuse “Tokyo Tribes” with those elements to make it stand out from the other manga series that pervaded the marketplace.

In 2005, the “Tokyo Tribes” manga was adapted into a 13 episode anime series and produced by the world famous Madhouse Studios after the final volume of the series was produced. It aired in Japan back in 2006 and was wildly successful. Enjoy!

CowboyBebob

When OkiZoo isn’t in the studio recording or killing some party till the break of dawn, we dabble around in some fun video editing. Our very own Daft Dodgers (if you don’t know who that is, it’s up to YOU to figure it out) decided to mess around with the Japanese anime series Cowboy Bebop, which is regularly seen on The Cartoon Network, and edit it to the sounds of  the New Young Pony Club’sThe Bomb“. Props to the homie Daft D. and The Ashitron Prototype for the super slick edits!!!

Voltron Shoes By Reebok Shoe Company

The defender of the universe on your feet! Sneakers by Reebok feature Voltron that is sure to be a hit with those who grew up watching and serious geeks. However, I am sure only the truly hardcore fans will rock these. Reebok have released the Voltron Lion Force Pack, which feature five classic sneakers whose colorways correspond to one of the five Voltron robots.

Three of the pairs (red, yellow, black) pull from Reebok’s Pump line that was from back in the day as well. Each pair comes with the corresponding robot lion that will form Voltron.
