Kazuo Kodama, a Japanese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, issued a statement on Friday that expressed regret for Muslims' feelings that were hurt by images deemed inappropriate in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime. The original manga's Part 3 ("Stardust Crusaders," pictured at right) has a scene in which the main villain, Dio, vowed to kill the main character Jōtarō Kujō while looking at illegible book pages. The staff of the anime version unknowingly inserted reproductions of pages from the Qur'an, the main religious text of Islam, in the corresponding scene of the sixth anime episode ("The Mist of Vengeance").

When you first hear about animes that have scripts changed so drastically by its dubbing company, you can't help but cringe a little and worry what butchery has come to this anime you've invested so much money in. I heard a lot about Ghost Stories, for its script change but mostly for its "supposed" hilarious humor. So how funny can a horror-changed-humor anime about ghouls and goblins be? Pretty damn funny actually.

After patiently waiting a long freaking time for ADV to get their butts in gear and releasing the last animated form of Jing out on English dubbed DVD, I have to say for the story's sake anyway, it was well worth the wait.

Jing and Kir are finally captured and locked up in a strange, super strong Alcatraz style prison known as "Seventh heaven". Inside prison, Jing is searching for a magical dream thief called Compari and hopes to steal his rare "dream orbs". But when Jing meets up with Compari, he learns the truth to his secret magics and more about himself then he'll ever know.

When I first heard of "King of Bandit Jing", I was curious about it due to the fact I saw it through giant promotional colored posters hanging around at the convention, Anime Central in Chicago, IL. When I finally laid my hands upon this exotic series, I had some assumptions about the show and thye were quickly dashed away when I got to see what a unique experience this anime really is first hand.

Jing is our lead, a young teenaged boy who happens to be known as the infamous "bandit king", a bandit so legendary and death defying, he could steal the stars from the sky or time itself according to rumors. He is accompanied by Kir, a wise cracking, smart mouthed, girl chasing bird who can speak perfect English and one other "special" ability. Together, Jing and Kir travel the weird world they live in, changing people's lives, battling bizarre creatures and criminals, and unearthing the greatest treasures of the world.
