Sunday watchlist 3, live free or watch hard

It is Sunday, which means my day of serious devotion to anime, the one true god and all that. For those of you wondering if I actually watch everything on my Sunday watchlist on Sunday...sometimes? I am not actually that deprived of other activity, but do frequently use Sunday to watch as much anime as I can, especially if I do not have to work. Now, on to the anime stuffs.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel

World War II style naval battles with ships upgraded via advanced technology and piloted by moe school girls. Even if the visuals I have seen did not look so stunning, the absurdity of the concept would be enough to motivate me to give this a shot.

Magi - the Labyrinth of Magic

I can't even explain this one without making 123425124 jokes, so I am going to just give you the ANN description.
"In a fantastic middle-age world where slavery is very common, there are mysterious tall towers named "Dungeon" which mysteriously appeared out of nowhere fourteen years before the story line. Someone who conquers a Dungeon becomes very powerful and wealthy. Our hero Ali Baba is a teenager who works for merchants to support himself. He dreams for conquering a lot of Dungeons and becoming a very rich person. One day, he comes across with a strange young boy named Aladdin who carries a mystical flute with supernatural powers in it. Ali Baba and Aladdin agree to travel their first Dungeon together."
Seriously people...Aladdin has a magical flute Mozart style in a dungeon called dungeon. Yes. 

This Sunday is also home to two rewatches, because they have been on my list of OVA's to rewatch ever since I remembered there names, and I have not seen either in several years. 




Apocalypse zero

Not going to say too much here because this is the object of a forthcoming review, but this shit is absolutely insane. Giant frog women cops, a man who's penis is a giant weapon, a normal school in the middle of it...weird. Look at the picture people. LOOK AT IT.

Sky Blue

With more of the feeling of an opera than a film, this is one of my favorite Korean OVA's and a beautiful meditation on post apocalyptic problems of wealth and environmental decay, which, let's face it, the Korean and Japanese media creators do a much better job of dealing with than Americans.
