Kanu Uncho from Ikki Tousen


Ikki Tousen or "Bakunyū" Hyper-Battle Ikki Tōsen is a 13 episode anime series loosely based on the manga by Yuji Shiozaki, which is in turn based on the classic Chinese novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The series is known for being full of fan service, featuring a very large cast of attractive young girls, who fight in short skirts and dresses, in addition to numerous other ecchi situations.


Kan'u Unchou (關羽 雲長): Guan Yu - Yunchang
(Guan Yu was the greatest warrior of Sanguo Period, the leader of Shu Five Tiger Generals)
Voiced by: Hiroe Oka (Season 1), Hitomi Nabatame (Season 2), Erica Shaffer (English)

Believed to be the most feared and powerful Toushi around, she even carries the nearly invincible Blue Dragon Crescent Blade from her predecessor as well as the legendary sword Kusanagi; she also has overwhelming chi. She believes her destiny is to die protecting Ryuubi. It is believed by many characters that Ryomou will one day kill her. Presumed to be an old friend of Kakouton and Kakuka and is possibly a lesbian. Despite this, however, she seems to have taken an interest in Koukin. She is eventually forced to side with Sousou and plan an at tack on Nanyo in order to protect Ryubi from Kyosho's toushi, who would certainly be after her. When she surrenders she is treated as a prisoner. She is handcuffed, beaten, and stripped of her clothing. When Ryubi submits the Gyokuji for Kanu's release, Kanu refuses to accept the offer and stays as a prisoner under her own will. Sousou respects Kanu's wishes and orders the Gyokuji to be returned to Seito. Kanu is able to break free from her handcuffs, clearly holding back while she was captive. She is now treated more fairly while being kept under Sousou's orders.

Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 groups of each a weapon meister and a human weapon.

Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto IV (also known as GTA IV and GTA 4) is an upcoming sandbox-style action-adventure video game by Rockstar North. It will be the ninth title (and the first in the fourth generation) in the Grand Theft Auto video game franchise. It will be released worldwide on 29 April 2008 for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The game will be set in a redesigned Liberty City, based heavily on New York City and New Jersey.


Development:
According to Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey, a financial consultant for Take-Two Interactive Software, around 150 game developers are working on Grand Theft Auto IV. He also remarked that Rockstar Games is "fully capable of ushering in an entertainment experience categorically superior to the prior cycle's GTA product."
Rockstar Games initially appeared to be committed to the original 16 October 2007 release date. However, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter suggested that Take-Two may choose to delay the release of the game in order to boost its financial results for 2008 and to avoid competing with the release of other highly anticipated titles. Rockstar responded by saying that Grand Theft Auto IV was still on track for release in "late October".

On 2 August 2007, Take-Two announced that Grand Theft Auto IV would miss its original release date of 16 October 2007 contrary to their previous statements, and would be delayed to their second fiscal quarter (February–April) of 2008. Their stated reason for the date change was "due to additional development time required to complete the title." In a later conference call with investors, Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick attributed the delay to "almost strictly technological problems... not problems, but challenges." It was revealed that technical difficulties with the PlayStation 3 version of the game contributed to the delay.

On 24 January 2008, Take-Two announced that Grand Theft Auto IV would be released on 29 April 2008.
The game uses Rockstar's own RAGE game engine in combination with Euphoria[16], a game animation engine that will be responsible for character animation and the computation of a characters reaction to events in the game environment.


Plot:
Niko Bellic is Eastern European, between 28 and 32 years of age and has come to Liberty City to pursue the "American Dream". Niko was persuaded to move to Liberty City by his cousin Roman, who claimed in multiple e-mails to Niko that he was living a fabulous life, with a mansion, women, hot tubs and sports cars. Roman's claims turn out to be lies to hide his own failures, however, and in reality he only owns a small taxi business, which he wants Niko to work for.
Roman is the only person Niko knows in Liberty City to begin with, and is one of his major connections in the first part of the game. Niko is a tough character, whereas Roman is friendly. Roman is heavily in debt and a lot of people are after him. He desperately needs Niko's support, hence the reason he deceived Niko into travelling to Liberty City. They are constantly bickering. It is later revealed that Niko has also been avoiding other, as yet undisclosed, problems at home.

Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!!


Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! is a Japanese variety show hosted by the popular Japanese owarai duo, Downtown. This TV program began broadcasting on October 3, 1989, and is a popular comedy show in Japan.


Segments:
Batsu Games, probably the best known Gaki episodes are those dealing with batsu games, or punishment games, in which one or more of the cast members participate in after losing bets, major games, or physical challenges.

No Laughing Games, the set-up of each "No Laughing"-punishment game is that the members of the cast who were not successful in a preliminary trial will be subjected to compromising and/or absurd situations for a long period of time (usually through the night or over the span of 24-hours) and must refrain from laughing at them during that time. (They cannot laugh at themselves or each other, either.) Whenever any one of them does laugh, the announcer of the game will say that that person (or if more than one person laughed, those people) just became "out", and then one of the behind-the-scenes crew will come in to punish the offending individual or individuals by striking them in the buttocks with darts, shinai, etc. The primary weapon of choice coincides with the theme of the game they are — it will not change at any point in time; to keep the Gaki Tsukai on their toes, there have been occasions where other conditions besides laughing had been set that could make them out, if they fulfill them. (As a side note, Matsumoto currently holds the record for most punishment strikes suffered, at 258 times, received during the "No-Laughing Hospital" game.)



Cast:
Hitoshi Matsumoto, Masatoshi Hamada, Housei Yamasaki, Shouzou Endou, Naoki Tanaka
