Ao no Kanata no Four Rhythm - (Four Rhythm Across the Blue)


Gravity is solved, they found a new element which is anti gravitational. They started using them in shoes to enable people to fly. In Japan, this however works only in the four southern islands of the Japanese archipelago for some reason.

Through this advancement, a sport is developed around it called Flying Circus. Rules are simple: fly and reach 4 flying buoys like in baseball, reach a buoy to earn a point. Tapping on the opponent’s back can also earn a point.





Meet Kurashina Asuka: a pink haired airhead who moves to one of the four islands.  



She starts learning how to fly and incidentally she is pulled into the world of flying circus. 

The trainers realize that she is a natural and she revives interest in the sport in her school again.


The new amateur team along with Kurashina starts participating in tournaments and from that point on, its what you expect from any sports movie or anime. Talented but Tainted coach tries to help a rookie team and leads them to victory. And they do win.

Overall the anime is fun to watch and is paced well, so you hardly notice that you're binging it.

Working!! is fun and satisfying

Working!! is an anime about the interesting things that happen in a family restaurant called Wagnaria, primarily about the staff that work there. Every character is quirky in someway or the other and it makes for some good comedy and drama. I’d like to go over the characters in the series in the order of their importance and talk about how I feel about them. Taneshima Popura: Taneshima is a high school senior who is very short, she is confused for an elementary student most of the time.  She is very upbeat and works hard, but has a huge complex about her height and is sometimes pranked upon by fellow workers in Wagnaria. Takanashi Souta: Takanashi is a junior to Taneshima and is recruited by her to work in Wagnaria at the start of the series. He likes all things tiny and deeply adores Taneshima.  He is level headed most of the time and works hard. He has three elder sisters and one younger sister whom he has to ...

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...

AMCS/AT – Artificial Mind Control System / Artificial Telepathy Telepathy: Legilimency, Artificial Intelligence The March 23, 1991 ITV news brief "High-Tech Psychological Warfare Arrives in the Middle East" describes a US Psychological Operations (PsyOps) tactic directed against Iraqi troops in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm. The maneuver consisted of a system in which subliminal mind-altering technology was carried on standard radio frequency broadcasts. The March 26, 1991 news brief states that among the standard military planning groups in the centre of US war planning operations at Riyadh was "an unbelievable and highly classified PsyOps program utilizing 'silent sound' techniques." The opportunity to use this method occurred when Saddam Hussein's military command-and-control system was destroyed. The Iraqi troops were then forced to use commercial FM radio stations to carry encoded commands, which were broadcast on the 100 MHz freque...
