Bijin
: 美人 【びじん】
(n.) beautiful person.
Bijin is a Japanese expression that is derived both from the English word "vision" and used to describe women of beauty. Although jin (人) means person, bijin alone is only used to refer to women. There are however other sayings based on the term that can be applied to both men and women, and bi (美) is often used to describe beauty, ie: bishoujo and bishounen.

CG animation highlights this story of a special task force who must deal with corpses turned into rampaging monsters in this recent effort from Gonzo. Though flawed, particularly grim, and certainly not innovative, it does deliver a fair amount of entertainment value and some occasionally very solid storytelling.
If you have the spare time and the desire to see folks getting slammed into rocky pillars, strap on your nostalgia goggles, switch off your brain, and your wish will be granted.
Decades from now, Summer Wars will be seen as the official arrival of Mamoru Hosoda. It's a near-

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can [Not] Advance
Evangelion 2.0 feels as though the project has been put on mood stabilizers: it's not any happier, but it's more stable and certainly more focused. And in the end, it's a vast improvement. It hurts so good.

The Whole Truth comes out, but other parts are actually more interesting, as Norihiro Yagi answers many long-standing questions and orients the series for its next climactic run. Although certain parts may be a letdown, there is still a lot to like.

Little of their content could be called fresh, but these episodes nonetheless find a nice balance between comedy, light drama, and sentimentality. Ending on a cliffhanger, with the next volume in doubt, does suck.
