Golgo 13 (First Synopsis of the movies)



Okay from just watching the first movie I can see that this is one of the hardest assassins out there. I mean I love the Requiem of the Phantom assassins ein, zwei and drei but they died while Golgo goes to the next assignment not even thinking about what he did. Shit he propably shot Zwei while he was driving thru Mongolia and from his point of view it wasn't considered anything big to write an episode about. I'm not going to go into detail about another series so lets get back to Golgo. The movie is considered episodic just like the anime series so it really doesn't matter where you start off watching Golgo you won't be behind. The story is about the #1 assasin and who he kills, that's it complete. I've completed the whole series but I'm going to just talk about the movies in this blog because I have another one that talks about completing the whole series. Golgo 13 or Duke Togo is a trained hit man who does hits for people all around the world. If you have 3 million he will kill whoever you want and it gets done period. This guy didn't show any feelings throughout the movies he would have sex with a prostitute, fix up his gun, and then go kill someone that's it. It had somewhat close calls but not that bad for him not to be able to get out of. There was no time that he thought "Oh man I might die in this one". He didn't even hesitate in killing someone he had some type of relationship with. I was shocked when he did that I thought it was going to be a little more emotion then what I was showed but I came to understand that was Golgo. Overall I give the two movies a 4 out of 6. I give it that type of score because he really didn't have any close calls and it didn't really have much of a story but only to the people he killed. The people would have some type of life going on and then die from him. I like how the setup was made because it made me just think in the way of how Golgo was going to accomplish this task. It's pretty much the same as the one before but different people he kill, talking about the movies. If you like a quiet muscular man going around killing everyone and putting a whole in targets forehead these movies are for you. Just remember don't get behind him.

Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit












This was a fantastic story which shocked me I never thought I would have started to watch it from just looking at the covers on netflix. I have always seen it on netflix for the past few years but thought it was going to be a corny lame ass story and I didn't want to watch something so bad after coming off so good anime. It turned the story was a great adventure about a female warrior who has to take care of this little prince while his father is out to kill him. From looking at the trailer the female seemed like a manly women and at the time of watching the clip I think I had just finished Girls Bravo so I was more interested in an ecchi story than an action or the main female character had to be aleast alright looking.

I eventually started watching it and it became one of those series that kept me going to the next episode to see what was going to happen next. The story is about a young prince who has a water spirit living inside of him. This spirit is considered a demon by the king and he has his men go kill his son so the land wouldn't be cursed with a drought. It seems very harsh for the King to do this to his son but he was thinking that this would help out the country so he would sacrifice his youngest son for the sake of the country. Now if I was the King I wouldn't have been so quick to kill my son without looking if there was a way to prevent my son from dying. At first I thought the King was an evil tyrant but as the story progresses it will show you that he was just panicking like all the others on his side and just started killing people to hope that it will solve everything. Luckily the female warrior Moribito was walking by in the area and she saves the little prince while the kings' men were trying to assassinate him once again. The queen eventually ask her to save her son but kind of gave her a protect my son or die type order. It's funny throughout the story the king's men try to assassinate the kid and woman and Moribito would fight them off while not trying to kill them. If she did try to kill them it would have been no problem reminding me of Rurouni Kenshin. After the kings' men finally finds out that there is a way to help the water spirit and the prince they work with Moribito

 but at the end when everything is done they try to kill Moribito so that no one will ever know about the events that happen and to make the prince seem more like a hero for saving the country and not talking about anything what Moribito did to keep the king alive. They also wanted to protect there own ass from looking so bad trying to go after the prince and kill him. This whole adventure would have been very simple if all the sides in the story decided to listen to each other to help solve the problem without trying to kill the other thinking that the other is considered barbaric. Didn't talk about the other main characters and places because I suggest you watch the story because it has a good begginning and end. Overall I give the story a 5 out of 6. Moribito I hope ends up with the dude who took care of her wounds all her life. I don't know why she didn't tell him to come with her or just stay home she was in the age to start making babies.
