That's right folks, it is time for the third edition of "Kaiser Records: Written Edition" (even though this is the first time I am using that title for my written music reviews). On this edition we will be taking a look at the debut self titled album from the band "Crosses". So far I have been reviewing albums song for song but this review is one of the few cases where I'll be reviewing the album as a whole. What did I think of it? Find out after the jump.

In the name of Zeus! Alex and Darabka continue their neverending quest to battle the evil hordes of evil.

Rurouni Kenshin Deluxe Complete Series Collection (very long title indeed) is a collection that includes: All three seasons of the Rurouni Kenshin TV series (1996 - 1998) (also was known as Samurai X while it was airing in English speaking countries back in the day), Rurouni Kenshin: The Movie (1997), Trust and Betrayal (1999), Reflections (2001), and New Kyoto Arc (2011 - 2012).  That's every animated television series and movies this series has (as of this date).  The reason why I used "animated" is because this series sadly excludes the live action movie from the year "2012". 

The show (season one of the TV show) is about a wanderer named Kenshin who is a former soldier of the Imperial Army.  He was a very fierce fighter that slayed a lot of people which earned him the title "Batosai, The Man Slayer".  Now he is a very nice and peaceful person who dislikes violence and likes to wander around Japan to find him some inner peace.  One day he strolls into a town where he spots a huge warrior whom is using Kenshin's title to scare people.  Shortly after, a young woman named Kaoru comes out whom is after the huge man as he is using her family's sword style to kill people which is bringing shame to her dojo.  Back at Kaoru's dojo they decide to find a way to stop this impostor from causing more harm.  After they put a stop to him (sorry for spoiler there) they face another problem as there is an assassin out there that wants Kenshin to kill again and goes to very dirty methods to bring the killer back out from Kenshin.  Will Kenshin kill again?

Little Busters Season One Part One is the first half of the first season of a show called "Little Busters" (not to sound like a "Krang" there where I end a sentence with the same wording I used to start a sentence).  The show is about a high-school student named Kyousuke Natsume who returns to school after searching all over Japan for a job but was unsuccessful.  Once he is back he reunites with all his childhood friends: Riki Naoe (the straight man of the group), Rin Natsume (Kyousuke's younger sister who is a bit shy), Masato Inohara (a dumb guy that always thinks of his muscles), and Kengo Miyazawa (A guy who's good with a kendo stick and is always getting into fights with Masato just for fun).  Together the group of friends are known as the "Little Busters", a group that will remind you of the old television show "The Little Rascals (1923 - 1942, 1994)"... You'll understand once you watch the show.  After Kyousuke's welcoming home party he announces that he wants to start up a baseball team for reasons that doesn't make sense to anyone else but him.  They come across two problems right away and those problems are: They aren't very good at it and they need nine members to start one up and as you can see they are down a few players.  Now they must find students that are willing to join their team before they can play ball.  I wonder how this will turn out?  (Click "Read More" to read the full review). 

Btooom is an explosive animated action show about a young twenty-something named Ryota Sakamoto who's a huge fan of a video game called "Btooom". Btooom is an online first-person deathmatch game that plays like a mixture of games from the "Call of Duty (2003 - ongoing)", "Halo (2001 - ongoing)" and "Bomberman (1983 - ongoing)" series where the players goal is to kill soldiers using nothing but bombs until one is left standing.  Ryota Sakamoto is not only a fan but he is also a top ten ranked player... IN THE WORLD!  He is also a bit of an asshole to where he treats his mother and step-father like dirt. While pursuing the top spot of Btooom we suddenly flash-forward to him waking up in a tree while attached to a parachute. Once he gets out of the tree he finds out that he is stranded on an island with barely any food and water.  Ryota Sakamoto isn't alone as he runs into another person but this person isn't so friendly and starts attacking him with bombs. Turns out that a whole bunch of people were selected to participate in a real life version of Btooom and now not only does he has to fight to survive but also kill enough people to gain his freedom. He isn't working alone as shortly after his first battle he teams up with a big breasted, blond haired high school girl named Himiko and a middle aged business man named Kiyoshi Taira.

AKB0048 is an animated sci-fi drama about a time where entertainment (like music, games, ETC.) are banned across the galaxy with only a few planets that are allowed to have entertainment. On the planet Lancastar four young girls are on there way to a secret concert to where AKB0048 (a futuristic version of the real life band "AKB48") are performing. After sneaking around trying to avoid the "Entertainment Police" (not their official name but that's what I am going to call them) the four young girls make their way to the concert and witness the greatest thing they have ever seen. After the show the girls are inspired to try to become pop-idols and make it into AKB0048 when they are older. Only a few short years later we see that the three young girls are now teenagers (they lost contact with one of them), some have made it into high school, others are busy with their day jobs at steel factories. One afternoon the girls find out that AKB0048 are holding auditions so the three girls jump on that opportunity right away and start practising their dancing and singing. Not too long after the girls get a nice surprise and find out that they have made it past the first stage of the auditions and are invited to train at AKB0048's home base on planet Akibastar. They soon find out fairly quickly that it takes a lot more than singing and dancing to be in the band AKB0048 from their old friend (the fourth girl they lost contact with) as they also need to have combat skills to fight off the Entertainment Police as they are very strict about their "Anti-Entertainment Law" and they will go to extremes to make sure that their law is enforced. Who ever said being a pop-star was easy? (Click "Read More" to read the full review).
