Get Backers

Get Backers is one of my favorite anime shows. There are two main characters in this show. They are Ginji and Ban Mido (my fav.). Ban Mido, the one who is the best when it comes to fight. According to many others in this anime, he is a genius in battle. These two form the G and B of the GetBackers. Their work is to get back what the client loses. They don’t have luck with money and even though they solve the case they don’t get paid for that. Dr. Jackal is a great fighter and always likes to kill his opponents until he gets some word of advice from the soft and funny Ginji. Ban Mido has the special power with which he can make his opponent who sees his eyes to see a dream which lasts for one minute in real world. Thats the Evil Eye and he also has another power which is called the snakebite. Ginji is the lightening lord and can generate electricity from his body. He transforms into a more powerful man when his emotions go out of control.

I also like Dr. Jackal who has small knifes inside his body and he can control them even when they are in air. He likes to fight Ban and Gijni (in transformed state) more than other fighters. You can check the wikipedia article for other character informations. I am planning to download the entire GB series.

Aishwarya Rai thinks she has put on weight

Actress Aishwarya Rai is said to be on a weight losing spree as she prepares for her next lot of films – Shankar’s Robot and Mani Ratnam’s next.

The actress is apparently on a strict diet and exercise regime as she wants to get back in to shape – the way she was before marriage.

“Ash thinks she has put on a lot of weight after the wedding. So she is working very hard as she wants to go back to her earlier shape and weight. She is going to the gym regularly and is on a very strict diet,” says a close friend.

And it’s not just the Bachchan bahu who is on a weight loss mission. She has also roped in hubby Abhishek Bachchan.

“Abhishek has also put on some weight recently. He wants to get back into shape and in fact build some muscle. He wants to have a six pack ideally. Right now, with him filming away from home he hasn’t been very regular with his work outs. But Ash is keeping a tab on his food. She regularly checks in to see what he is eating and whether he is eating on time. So this way the two of them are working towards achieving their goal,” says the friend.

Aishwarya and Abhishek are to begin work on Mani Ratnam’s as yet untitled project from September. It is said to be an intense love story and quite different from Ratnam’s usual films.

“Ash and Abhishek want to look very fit in the film. They want it to be as successful as Guru. And comparisons are going to be natural so they want to be sure that they are ready for their look in the film,” adds the source.

Gorgeous Angelina Jolie is Pregnant with Twins!!

 

The Pitt gang is getting bigger and bigger, Angelina Jolie is pregnant allegedly expecting twins!!! Wow amazing!!! How many kids that makes??
That’s 6 happy kids in a happy family!! I’m all for it… they are rich and gorgeous and amazing parents. Three of the kids were adopted by Angelina and Brad and one is their own biological child, the powerful baby Shiloh.
“Brad and Angelina are absolutely ecstatic,” another source says. “But I still think there will be more adoptions to come.”
Rumors say Brangelina are planning to adopt another baby, it’s either a baby from Vietnam or a Katrina orphan… just adopt them both! All of the Brangelina baby gang are under the age of 7 and that must be a lot of work, I just hope all these babies get to have the same attention and time from their parents.
Just to make a point of the situation we started the post with 4 kids and twins on the way and we ended it with the possibility of 8 kids! Damn that’s one big Brangelina school bus in the future!
Congratulations to the big happy family! Love them!!
