Plot Summary:
In 1994 the mangaka Kazuichi Hanawa was arrested on firearms offences and sentanced to three years in prison. Once released, Hanawa set about creating this autobiographical record of his life behind bars. The first few chapters relate to his incarceration in jail whilst awaiting trial and the rest of the work covers his actual prison sentance. There is no ongoing plot but, rather, each chapter relates in minute detail the customs and rituals of prison life - food, clothing, rules, work, exercise, bathing and so on and so forth. The only things omitted are the background of the author's crime, trial, sentancing and release but an interview with the author and a commentary by the anime critic Tomohide Kure (who was involved in Hanawa's defence) are included to shed some light on these aspects.

Previous seasons may have had a certain level of teen drama and even a rudimentary sense of humor, but here in Stage 4 the show has been stripped of all but one aim: maximum thrills at maximum speed.
This is One Piece sitting on its laurels, firing on one or two cylinders while it gives the other six or seven a deserved rest.

It is floundering in its own self-indulgence, pleading for approval, and despite being fairly enjoyable for it, only has room to improve. With any luck, it probably will, and quickly. Until then, either the first anime or the manga should absolutely be experienced first, then this younger sibling can be given a fair shake.

A princess from the moon makes a homestay on Earth to foster interplanetary relations, and romance naturally arises, in this late 2006 romantic comedy. Despite many retread elements, it does just enough differently – and has just enough strong scenes – to merit a marginal recommendation.
