Lost Odyssey ( Videogame)

It is hard to be an Inmortal

Cover by Takehiko Inoue (VAGABOND)


I won't explain anything-as I used to- about the gameplay, graphics or any technical issue; I am just interesting in recomend this game because of the tales- yes tales!- that are into the game, flashback which remains during the history and have an important role in the game-almost for me-.

Those short tales explain us the history of Kaim, our hero, who- at the begining- isn't more than a Mercenary whith a terrible issue: HE CANNOT DIE. A century of years has passed in front of his eyes, a century of deads and all his friends and mates have died years ago. He is an Inmortal mercenary who kills to go on with his nosense life.

As we read those tales full of phylosophy- dead, meaning of life...- we know more how Kaim is, and how he thinks... His troubles and his own life. As we keep playing, we will know that Kaim has also an human part, instead of the brutal mercenary he seemed to be.

Vagabond ( MANGA )

VAGABOND



An epic history of a samurai.

I won't explain the history of this fantastic Manga, I'll just recomend it... I want you to discover it by yourselves. I'll just tell you that it's a regular japanese history in the way that the main character grows up while you keep reeding it. It is full of japanese philosophy: The search of the Meaning of Life, feelings about the dead and being a killer, questions about if a life is full of sense when in that life you only kill to avoid being killed...

Enjoy it!

In these videos Jean Renoir explains his theory about the evolution of the cinema, evolution which, as Renoir thinks, beggins when an art is a period of "décandence".- Friedrich R.
