Tokyo Ghoul Review

 By Hafizul Hafis

Tokyo Ghoul  is a Japanese manga series by Sui Ishida In August 2013. After that a few year after that she’s come up in anime series in July, 2014. The genre for this anime is Dark Fantasy.

This Anime kind of thriller because their play with lot of blood.

It starts simple. Kaneki Ken is an average quiet college freshman who loves reading books and hanging out with his only friend, Hide.

The Tokyo they live in is going through a quiet chaos created by human- look-alike people called Ghouls, who live among humans but feed on their flesh. Kaneki doesn't have anyone--no family and only Hide for a friend--which probably makes him the perfect target because nobody will ask about this kid. When he goes on his first date with the girl he likes, he has no idea his life is about to change forever. It is after that night and after he is attacked that Kaneki receives a transplant and becomes a half-Ghoul. 

He's been human all his life and now one of the basic needs for him to survive has become killing people and eating them. Ghouls cannot eat anything but human flesh; not only human food tastes horrible to them, but it also makes them ill. Ghouls are pretty much hunted by investigators in Tokyo, so Kaneki has to hide his new self, even from his one and only friend Hide. Hide is 'food' now, so what happens if Kaneki starves himself to insanity?

The story starts and expands as Kaneki struggles to keep his humanity through his encounter with different conflicting groups--Ghouls that cannibalize other Ghouls, those who kill humans and eat them more for enjoyment rather than need, humans that refuse to accept Ghouls are creatures capable of feeling as much as humans, humans who hunt Ghouls, and Ghouls that believe humans should all be destroyed.

Slowly, the story turns into a character study: How far does it take for the innocent to break?

Based on the opening you can’t expect what actually the story of

When watched this anime I start falling in love in one character her name is Taoka she’s energetic character and pretty. Silent but intelligence.

She have leadership characteristic.

Tokyo Ghoul is my favourite Anime after Digimon thanks to Sui Ishida cause make this anime.

Bob Dylan's 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan': Album Review

BY AMIRY FAHMI

            Robert Allen Zimmerman, or famously known as Bob Dylan, is one the most profound singer-songwriters ever to have graced our musical history. His brash and powerful lyrics driven of politics, philosophy, social and literary influences, have captured us all in awe. Although his songs were written way back in the 1960s, 70s and 80s, yet these songs are still lingering around our mind and has had overpowering memories for us to share.

            His second album, which I was able to fully experience last night, entitled ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ was truly a remarkable listening experience.

            Written in 1962 and released in 1963 by Columbia Records, Dylan’s second album consisted of 13 songs – 12 were acoustic and harmonica sessions and 1 (Corina, Corina) was a full band ensemble. Whereas his self-titled debut album, Bob Dylan, had only contained two original songs, Freewheelin’ represented the beginning of Bob Dylan’s song writing brilliance – eleven out of the thirteen songs on the album are Dylan’s original compositions.

            The album starts off with one of the most important and moving song of all, ‘Blowin’ In the Wind’. In this song, we listen to Dylan asking rhetorical questions about peace, war and freedom. Dylan depicts the song as a sad anthem of desperation for freedom in humanity. He poses a list of hypothetical questions that are questions people may say but cannot be answered. Dylan does not claim to know the answers, but beautifully sing in the chorus that the answers are out there, ‘blowing in the wind’.

            Other politically driven songs that gained heavy attention is ‘Masters of War’. With its rugged acoustic rhythm guitar in the background, Dylan’s voice and lyrics is truly powerful and superficial. Masters of War is not only a protest towards the Vietnam War, but towards war in general. It demonstrates the real nature of war – the ‘masters’ who initiate and orchestrate the wars are safe in their homes, while normal (and usually young) people are forced to go out to fight and fear for their lives. The song also talks about how these ‘masters of cowards’ think that by having an enormous amount of power, they can outweigh death and can buy forgiveness with money. Is your money that good / Will it buy you forgiveness / I think you will find / When your death takes its toll / All the money you made / Will never buy back your soul.

Bob Dylan

            As the album mainly consists of political compositions such as ‘A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall’ which Dylan articulates the anxieties of nuclear warfare during the Cuban Missile Crisis; ‘Oxford Town’ a song about the first black-American to enroll at the University of Mississippi; ‘Talkin’ World War III Blues’ where Dylan writes about his dream of World War III and his visit to the psychiatrist; and ‘Down the Highway’ where Dylan sings religiously about his fear of not being able to land a position in the gardens of heaven, we can also dive into Dylan’s love life and social experiences.

            For example, ‘Girl from the North Country’ is a song that Dylan sadly sings about his former lover, Echo Helstrom who was Dylan’s high school sweetheart. Dylan’s lovely, sad and husky voice blends in exquisitely with the soft guitar plucking in the background and daunting harmonica playing in between. If you’re travelin’ to the North Country fair / Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline / Remember me to one who lives there / She was once a true love of mine.

            Apart from that, ‘Bob Dylan’s Dream’ is a song that I was immensely connected to. Drifting away from the love and political compositions he had written, this particular song sets apart from the rest. It is a sad depiction of the separation of friendship we all go through. The depressing thought of not having the opportunity to relive those moments with the ones we love, and how we long to reunite with the ones we had spent happier times with.

            In conclusion, ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan’ is one powerful, sentimental and musically simple album. It did not require such complicated musical concepts – although blues arrangements such as 12-bar blues was constructed in ’Down the Highway’, and folk-blues chord arrangements can be heard in numerous songs in the album.    

            One thing to remember, was that Bob Dylan was only 21 years old when this album came out. For someone at that age to blatantly and bravely come out and sing tunes that invoke freedom, peace and love is something to respect for at a higher degree.

            His music might not be one’s cup of tea, yet his words will definitely move you one way or another. Like the African-American jazz producer who produced this album, Tom Wilson recalled: "I didn't even particularly like folk music. I'd been recording Sun Ra and Coltrane (Jazz musicians) and I thought folk music was for the dumb guys. [Dylan] played like the dumb guys, but then these words came out. I was flabbergasted."
