A handful of songs for Mono and Seven, but let's let Six have some glory and discuss a song for her:
Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.
This song might fit multiple LN characters, but I think it fits Six the most.
You said that Six is a lone wolf, so the song's constant theme of being alone suits her. The 'what's f*cked up' bit could reference her being repulsed of screwed up things like her finding out that kids are being cooked and served as food in the Maw (cannibalism), and she has to choose picking between the sausage she knows is made of human flesh or a Nome (just a critter as far as she knows and that she may have hugged up to 12 of before).
And the line from the song that's made for her is 'My shadow's the only one that walks beside me', because of Shadow Six.
Ah, a Six playlist!
Yes, Boulevard of Broken Dreams... the lyrics fit well. Great choice! ~~~
Ruins (Ella Isaacson) - Voices in the head, trapped in a madhouse, burning betrayal, the ending is an escape... walking away from the ruins.
Blood // Water (grandson) - Sacrifices, corrupt systems, the price of greed, poisoned.
Without Me (Halsey) - Supporting someone you feel left you behind. In a way, that person moving on to bigger more powerful things because of what you did for them... even if the context for this is wrong.
Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (XYLO) - Circling tides like time, drowning, needing saving; the choice between the chaos of the land or the chaos of the sea and being stuck amidst both of them.
Run Boy Run (Woodkid) - Also befitting of Mono and Seven... Fleeing from a world not meant for you. People trying to catch you. One day you'll grow up, but for now you are young and must flee when you are powerless.
Living in the Shadows (Matthew Perryman Jones) - Confused on who the enemy is. Shadows. Feeling like something was taken from you. Seeing a truth others can't. No longer hiding from one's dark side.
Falling Inside the Black (Skillet) - Dreaming of the way things used to be. Having a connection with someone. That someone leaving you in some way. Begging to not be alone. Falling into darkness.
Youth (Daughter) - Those who still breathe are lucky, because you breathe through corruption. Shadows settle in after someone left. Chasing the future. One day revealing the truth that could threaten your life. Apathy. Old memories recollected. Destruction caused by someone important, a shocking revelation. A silhouette, a shadow of yourself than you were before. Bitter feelings. Perhaps still missing the one who your feelings have soured for.
Vandalize (ONE OK ROCK) - Safety, rebuilding... caught off guard, broken heart, betrayal, marked by those you once knew.
Goodbye (Ramsey) - Memories of bloodshed; smoke up ahead. No longer recognizing one's home... wondering where your childhood friend disappeared to. Deciding its time to say goodbye to it all.
Fault Line (The Rigs) - Standing up to a world as a hero, only to flee and hide when the world bites back. Crushed dreams, caught in the wreckage, unable to tell friend from foe. Caught in the crossfire of the war inside one's soul. Searching for that someone... no matter what side they are on.
Living Hell (Bella Poarch) - Don't let people close. Threaten to make one's life a living Hell. Won't change. Always been cruel.
Two Birds (Regina Spektor) - Two friends. One rambunctious and free. The other promises they too will be like this... but lies.
Carousel (Melanie Martinez) - Round and round like a time loop. No turning back. Running through playland hand in hand. Freakshows together. Disappearing act.
Tag, You're it (Melanie Martinez) - Playing tag. Rough housing. Getting kidnapped.
Milk and Cookies (Melanie Martinez) - Lunacy, craziness. Singing a lullaby where you die at the end. Cookies baked sweet and poisoned for you. Never want to see you again. Ashes burning down.
Playground (Bea Miller) - Playground of nightmares and fantasies. Welcome to the lost and found. Prices to pay, sinking into the wasteland.
Mountains (Message to Bears) - (Also works for Mono and Seven) Running away into the night, always could have. Maybe never could have.
Gasoline (Halsey) - Been insane, been in pain. Wasting a pretty face. This isn't a dream. Part of the machine. Not human. Living on a screen. A face made up. Lighting matches. Pointing fingers. Voices in your head. Heart of gold, but hands are cold.
Season of the Witch (Donovan) - Things to see. Strange faces, strange places. Witches and stitches. Surreal and paranormal.
DARKSIDE (Neoni) - No heroes or villains. Shadows in your head. Phantoms. Monsters and demons. Darksides. Embracing madness. Living in nightmares.
Dolls (Bella Poarch) - Cute, polite doll. Deranged and backstabbing beneath. Knife under the sheets. Bitter and Sweet. Provoked and then attacked. Walking all over those who went after you.
INFERNO (Sub Urban, Bella Poarch) - Sweet but villainous. Run away. Be afraid as she loses her head.
Evil Spider (BENEE) - Tangled together. Never letting go. Won't bite unless you hurt me or struggle. Fangs out. Run and hide.

Animation Night 67: Ninjas
Hello friends! In about two hours I’m going to be getting my second vaccination. Side effects might mess me up a bit so let’s try and get a writeup out the door nice and early.
Tonight, the plan is to visit one of the classic Madhouse films which I have so far neglected: Ninja Scroll. Yeah, with toku night it’s kind of a ninja-y week. So let’s make that the theme, since Rintaro also went and made a film about ninjas in the 80s, The Dagger of Kamui.
Tumblr media
So, we did samurai; what were historical ninjas like?
Historically, a ninja (忍者) or shinobi (忍び) was simply an agent or mercenary employed by one of the daimyos of the sengoku (1400s-1500s) period to spy on his neighbours. Rather than all-black, they would have typically dressed as peasants, monks or merchants in order to pass beneath notice. And they probably wouldn’t have been called ninja (wiki):
Historically, the word ninja was not in common use, and a variety of regional colloquialisms evolved to describe what would later be dubbed ninja. Along with shinobi, these include monomi ("one who sees"), nokizaru ("macaque on the roof"), rappa ("ruffian"), kusa ("grass") and Iga-mono ("one from Iga").[6] In historical documents, shinobi is almost always used. 
Typically, these shinobi would be recruited from lower non-samurai classes in the feudal order, in order to commit dirty deeds that the samurai would prefer not to be seen doing to each other - such as arson or hiding in the latrine to stab someone up the arse [nb that probably didn’t actually happen]. (As we saw in that previous post, the samurai had very few reservations about committing dirty deeds on non-samurai, but I guess it’s considered bad form to do that to fellow members of the landlord-soldier aristocracy.) The line between ninja and samurai was pretty murky though, with some famous figures like Hattori Hanzō acting as both.
Tumblr media
You can read a bit about their history here, though I can’t really speak to whether their sources are any good - almost all cite Stephen Turnbull - but it does seem there is reasonable attestation of two lineages of professional shinobi, namely the Iga and Kōga clans dispersed by Oda Nobunaga and hired as bodyguards by Tokugawa Ieyasu; some of the survivors went on to fight at Sekigahara on Tokugawa’s side. Which, given that Nobunaga and Ieyasu were ultimately the two surviving powers at the end of the sengoku period, probably explains a bit about how these clans became mythologised!
Heading into the Edo period, shinobi continued to exist as a social position (the bakufu officially permitted a daimyo with a sufficiently large estate to employ them), but since a lot less spycraft was necessary in a time of peace, they would mostly be employed as (for example) bodyguards or firefighters. The Kōga clan shows up again early on, helping to suppress the anti-government Christian rebels in the Shimabara rebellion. But after that point, they seem to have gradually disappeared as a social group; to some degree they were superseded by the government’s spy organisations like the oniwaban (founded in the 1700s).
Tumblr media
So where does the mythologised, romantic ninja come from, with supernatural powers and improbable talents for stealth? This appears to date back to the Edo period as well, with ninjas seen in folk tales like Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari (which portrayed a shapeshifting ninja named Jiraiya who could turn into a toad, or possibly rode a giant toad, depending on which version you encounter).
The pop-culture ninja is a kind of elite acrobatic assassin who wears an all-black outfit. This outfit has been theorised to have derived from the kuroko (黒衣) stagehands in kabuki theatre, who wore a similar outfit to designate themselves as ‘not part of the story’, or else that they should be interpreted as animals etc. This tradition still holds up in at least some modern Japanese theatre - I recall in the YoRHa stage plays, the enemy robots would be represented by similarly black-clad stunt performers. Alternatively, the outfit may originate from black-clad bunraku puppeteers, who wear it for a similar reason.
Tumblr media
Outside of fiction, books like Bansenshūkai (1676) claim to compile the ninjutsu techniques of the Iga and Kōga clans, along with astrological advice, which began a long tradition of compiling more or less dubious ninja secrets. Ninjas were said to hang from kites (dubious) and use special shoes to walk on water (somehow even more dubious), or turn into animals (definitely real). One element of the mythology saw the ninjas adopting an esoteric Taoist-Buddhist practice called kuji-kiri where they would cast spells with special hand signs, which is nowadays best known as something from Naruto.
From there, I don’t have a great deal of info... but my best guess is that ninjas never really went out of fashion? Now and then someone would come up with a good aesthetic concept, and it would catch on as part of the ninja mythology. The charming Even A Monkey Can Draw Manga laments the decline of the 60s ninja manga, but as we’ll see tonight, by the 80s ninjas were popular once more, appearing frequently in games, tokusatsu and anime.
That brings us to tonight’s films! As we have seen on many prior Animation Nights, Madhouse in the 80s were delivering god tier chiaroscuro aesthetic in film after film. Well, some of their films were about ninjas!
Tumblr media
First up, Ninja Scroll... We last saw a film of Yoshiaki Kawajiri on Animation Night 25, with the incredibly stylish Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust; you may also recall his sequence The Running Man in Neo Tokyo on the very early days of Animation Night, in which the racecar driver ascends to a higher plane. Or maybe the sequence Program from The Animatrix showing a starkly lit fight on top of a simulated feudal Japanese castle. He’s also known for horny, gory cyberpunk like Demon City Shinjuku and Wicked City, which we may yet watch at some point.
If there’s one thing that unites all these works it’s that high contrast, chiaroscuro look and a fantastic taste for strong imagery (though it sure helps to have Yoshitaka Amano on hand to design characters lmao). Kawajiri is one of the really old guard of anime, working at Mushi Productions under Osamu Tezuka from his high school graduation in 1968. In the 70s, he was part of the group of ex-Mushi Pro animators who founded Madhouse; there, he gradually worked his way up, first as an animation director and then, in 1984, getting the chance to direct Lensman: Secret of the Lens.
With his foot in the door, his interest turned to darker material: first The Running Man, then a 35-minute version of Wicked City, which impressed everyone sufficiently that he got to make it into a full film. This success was followed by whole lot of films in the late 80s and early 90s, and he became one of Madhouse’s most popular directors.
Incredibly, he’s still going at 70 - still at Madhouse no less! In 2019, he provided boards for Ufotable’s Demon Slayer - though nowadays he is apparently known more for getting his storyboards done very quickly than making genre-defining works like the above.
Tumblr media
Ninja Scroll (1993) is one of his most famous works, and sees him head to jidaigeki territory... though definitely not without fantasy elements! Set in the Edo period, it tells the story of three ninjas who each run afoul of the pompously titled ‘Shogun of the Dark’, a member of the Toyotomi family (who were some of the more successful warlords in the Sengoku period). This particular Toyotomi aspires to overthrow the Tokugawa government, to which end he has hired a clan called the Yamashiro to mine gold and buy foreign weapons.
Sound complicated? Ultimately that’s just setup: the Yamashiro employ a team of eight supernatural ninjas called the Eight Devils of Kimon. Our protagonist Jubei is a mercenary, formerly one of the Yamashiro himself; he encounters the Devils when he interrupts one of them raping deuteragonist Kagero. His reward for this intervention is to be blackmailed by a government spy, Daguero, into tracking down and killing the other seven Devils. Along the way there’s a lot of poisoning shenanigans...
And yeah, like many edgy anime films of its era, I get the impression this film is not shy about depicting sexual violence on screen. As far as I can tell from the plot summary, that part in the opening is the only instance in this film but, you know, don’t let it surprise you!
Tumblr media
Our second (well, maybe first...) film, The Dagger of Kamui (1985), is another Madhouse joint, directed Rintarō (Hayashi Shigeyuki, but he did all his work under the pseudonym) - another renowned director whose work we last encountered back on Animation Night 53 with the remarkable Metropolis and on no. 62 with the fascinating Galaxy Express 999; he also directed the surreal Labyrinth Labyrinthos sequence which opened Neo Tokyo. He also worked with Peter Chung on Alexander Sekai (aka Reign: The Conqueror) which we must cover at some point.
Such examples would suggest that Rintaro’s habits are quirky science fiction with unique aesthetic touches, and yeah, that’s pretty much his thing - though he’s also made his own forays into grimdark near-hentai such as Doomed Megalopolis. Like Kawajiri, he was in at the start of Mushi Pro (after a prior job inbetweening on one of Toei’s earliest anime films), but he stepped into the director shoes much sooner with the fourth episode of Astro Boy. In the 70s, he was among the co-founders of Madhouse, with whom he made most of his best known films, though he remained technically a freelancer. Not quite sure how that works.
Tumblr media
Anyway! The Dagger of Kamui adapts a series of novels by Tetsu Yano, tells the story of a Japanese-Ainu boy called Jiro, whose adoptive mother and sister are killed by a shinobi who leaves behind a mysterious dagger. Facing execution for supposed act of familicide, he flees, only to be adopted by a buddhist monk and member of the Oniwaban (Tokugawa government secret police) called Tenkai, who takes him to take revenge on the supposed killer and then trains him to be a ninja. But of course Tenkai is full of it, and later Jiro sets out to find his real family... and ends up spending a significant amount of time in America.
The film takes place in the mid 1800s, a very significant and grim period for the Ainu people. At the start of the century, the Ainu were still the majority population in the island now called Hokkaidō, and although there were many acts of violent suppression and forced assimilation by the Tokugawa government whenever Ainu rebelled against their authority, there was also extensive trade between Ainu and Japanese. But with the Meiji restoration in 1868, things took a turn for the much worse. The Meiji government would annex the island from the surviving Shogunate forces in 1869, and from that point carry out an extended program of cultural genocide against the Ainu.
And not to try and summarise the whole story (check wiki for that), but these historical events are interweaved throughout the story, with the final showdown taking place at that battle in 1869. So it’s going to be fascinating to see how it addresses such a complex and ugly history.
As a film, this looks to do some fascinating things with backlight animation, not to mention some very striking designs and gorgeous backgrounds. So I’m very excited to see where Rintaro takes us.
Tumblr media
Of course, we’re just scratching the surface of ninja material here. @mogsk​ has helpfully advised me of some more recent ninja stories that are less grandiose and historical, like Colourful Ninja Iromaki. And the big one we can’t ignore here is, well, Naruto.
Honestly, if you’re into Naruto, you already know way more about it than I could find out in the time I have left to write this summary. Perhaps at some point in the future we can explore some more accessible parts of Naruto the way we did One Piece. To briefly summarise, in any case, Naruto is one of the really big Shōnen Jump manga series, which has been adapted into an equally sprawling anime. Like many shōnen adaptations, it is prone to pacing difficulties, but also a source of some extremely influential fight animation.
Tumblr media
Naruto eschews a historical setting in favour of a fantasy world ruled by various ninja clans. Here, a ninja is not a feudal stealth specialist, but a kind of superpowered martial artist inspired by the more mythological ninjas, who can shapeshift and invoke various magic powers. The protagonist, Naruto Uzumaki, aspires to rise to a position of authority called a ‘Hokage’, but the impression I get is that this long term goal leads him to get embroiled in complicated ninja family politics. The upshot is... phew... ok, well, as the genre demands, he fights a lot of guys, and I’m pretty sure there’s some crossdressing, and there’s that one guy with the leg weights who everyone thinks is the shit? he has a boyfriend who’s kind of goth or something? help me here there’s so much of this!!!
Anyway, we’ll see if we have time and energy to dip our toe into Naruto - and if you have suggestions for a favourite episode that stands alone reasonably well, or a film that can be enjoyed by newcomers, I’m all ears. Possibly better to save it for a franchise-specific night somewhere down the line.
I’m sure there’s more to say about ninjas, but that will do for now; Animation Night 67 will be starting in 15 minutes or so at 7pm UK time over at twitch.tv/canmom! Until then... *disappears in a cloud of smoke, a small frog hops away...*

Earl Hines ‎– Oh, "Father"! さて、見るからにとても古い手強い?予感のアルバムを発掘入手! ハインズ通算18枚目、Epic ‎- LN 3223 のオリジナル盤!案の定、ネット上には情報は皆無... 。 収録曲は、聞いたことのある彼の代表曲ばかりで、録音日がジャケット裏にきちんと記載されています。大変有難い。1930年代のハインズ?何となく記憶にあり、あれっ?と思い、過去に購入したアルバムを探索してみました。 すると驚いたことに彼の代表的アルバムEarl 'Fatha' Hines And His Orchestra "Harlem Lament"の収録曲と全く同じ!そして録音年月日も1933年2月13日 - 1938年3月7日と、見事に一致! もしかして、このEpic -  Oh, "Father"!がオリジナルで、そもそもリマスター盤の"Harlem Lament"は本盤が音源?! ただし本盤は13曲、"Harlem Lament"はタイトル曲を含む16曲を収録。 これは、聴き比べしかない! うん、間違いなく同じ音源です!これは大発見! そして本盤は、当時の粗っぽい録音状態のままの音で、"Harlem Lament"の方は聴き易くかなりデジタル・リマスターされていることも良く分かります。 本盤もおそらくオリジナルはSP盤音源で、それを集めてLPにまとめたものだと想像します。 カートリッジですが、Grado MC+ MONOは、当時の音質そのものをナチュラルに再生してくれていると思いますが、ナロー・レンジのかなり硬い音質で、マスタリングは頑張ったのではないでしょうか。 Shure SC35Cで円やかさに聴くことをおすすめしたいと思います。我慢は必要ですが、十分聴くに耐える音質です。 本作の収録曲は下記で、(   )内は録音年月日。 Side 1 Solid Mama (1938/3/7) Ridin' a Riff (1937/8/10) Cavernism (1933/2/13) Darkness (1934/3/27) Hines Rhythm (1937/8/10) Goodnight, Sweet Dreams, Goodnight (1938/3/7) Side 2 Pianology (1937/2/10) Rhythm Sundae (1937/2/10) Honeysuckle Rose (1937/2/10) Inspiration (1937/2/10) Rosetta (1933/2/13) Madhouse (1934/3/27) 録音年の最も古い1933年は昭和8年、新しい1938年は第2次世界大戦勃発の前年です。そんな軍主導の時代に、何て優雅な音楽でしょうか。 パーソネルは"Harlem Lament"に詳しく掲載されていますのでそちらを参照してください。逆に録音年月日は本盤を参照です。 録音評価は全く無意味。ハインズ・オーケストラの貴重な記録として高い価値があります。 ライナーにも... 「... アメリカで最も偉大で最も影響力のあるジャズ・ピアニストの一人をエピック・コレクションで聴くことができる。自身が作曲した8曲とジャズ・クラシックを演奏。... 本作でのセッションは、ハインズの作品が他のミュージシャンの想像力をかき立てるようになり始めた初期のもので、最も興味深く重要な作品の一つ... 」 との解説。 何処からがジャズで、何処までがジャズなのか... 。答は見つからない、いや見つける必要なんかないのかも知れません。 心地よければ、それがジャズ。自分自身が基準であると思います。 #EarlHines #EpicRecords #jazz #fuzey #vinyl #jazzvinyl #vinylcollection #ジャズ #スイングジャーナル #レコード *作品を知るとジャズはもっと輝きます。情報くださる先輩諸氏に感謝。 https://www.instagram.com/p/CbQ5lKnvWwE/?utm_medium=tumblr

Estas son las casas más caras que se han vendido en Los Ángeles
La reciente venta de nueve cifras de “The Manor” en Holmby Hills ha elevado el récord de precios del condado de Los Ángeles más allá de la estratosfera, pero es sólo el último número sorprendente para un mercado de gama alta que ha visto su parte justa de mega acuerdos a través de los años. He aquí una mirada a las ventas más caras de Los Ángeles históricamente.
Un nuevo líder
La heredera de Fórmula Uno, Petra Ecclestone, y un comprador misterioso hicieron historia este mes con la venta récord de $119.75 millones de “The Manor” en Holmby Hills.
Apodada Candyland por su antigua dueña Candy Spelling, viuda del productor Aaron Spelling, la extensa residencia mide 56.500 pies cuadrados, unos 1.500 pies cuadrados más grande que la Casa Blanca, con 14 habitaciones y 27 baños.
La mansión cuenta con más de 120 habitaciones que fueron personalizadas para propósitos específicos mientras los Spelling fueron dueños de la propiedad. Entre ellas había una sala para corte de flores, otra de almacenamiento de plata con humedad controlada, una barbería y varias salas de envoltura de regalos.
Un salón/entrada forrado en mármol de rayas negras, un gran acuario en el estudio y una discoteca renovada en el nivel del sótano son algunas de las adiciones introducidas por Ecclestone. Lo que una vez fue un cuarto usado específicamente para la colección de muñecas de Candy Spelling se convirtió en un salón de belleza y sala de masajes.
Entre la espada y una buena oferta
El cofundador de Hard Rock Cafe, Peter Morton, vendió en 2018 su casa frente al mar en Pacific Coast Highway al multimillonario de gas natural Michael S. Smith y su esposa, Iris Smith, por 110 millones de dólares.
Un deseable lote de medio acre en la Playa de los Multimillonarios es el principal atractivo de la propiedad, que consta de dos estructuras y tiene 100 pies de frente a la playa.
Diseñada por el arquitecto Richard Meier, la casa principal y la de huéspedes cuentan con revestimiento de madera de teca, persianas y ventanas automatizadas y balcones envolventes que dan al mar. Las dos casas suman alrededor de 8.000 pies cuadrados de espacio habitable con siete dormitorios y nueve baños.
El terreno incluye una piscina y un patio.
Haciendo una jugada por la Mansión Playboy
En 2016, Los Ángeles fue el escenario central de uno de los circos inmobiliarios más grandes de la historia reciente. El listado de la Mansión Playboy en Holmby Hills atrajo el interés de un elenco de personajes que incluía al editor de Hustler Larry Flynt, al creador de Beacher’s Madhouse Jeff Beacher e incluso al actor Charlie Sheen.
Finalmente, fue Daren Metropoulos, hijo del multimillonario inversionista C. Dean Metropoulos y director de la firma de inversiones Metropoulos & Co. quien hizo historia en bienes raíces con una compra de $100 millones.
La casa y el espacio de trabajo de Hugh Hefner fueron diseñados por Arthur R. Kelly con estilo tudor gótico y terminados en 1927. La casa de 29 habitaciones incluye cocinas para chefs y catering, una sala de juegos y una sala de proyecciones con un órgano de tubos integrado. Doce dormitorios se encuentran en al menos 20.000 pies cuadrados de espacio habitable; la suite principal se extiende a lo largo de dos pisos. Sumándose a su mística, la finca también se encuentra entre un selecto número de casas de Los Ángeles que cuentan con una licencia de zoológico. Se sabe que los pavos reales albinos y otros animales deambulan libremente por los terrenos tipo parque. Los aviarios y arboretos albergan una colección de aves y monos exóticos.
Espacios de comercio, literalmente
En 2018, el fundador de Platinum Equity y dueño de los Detroit Pistons, Tom Gores, aprovechó sus propias propiedades para obtener una mega-mansión en otro acuerdo de 100 millones de dólares.
En la compleja transacción Gores comerció con varias de sus propias propiedades en lugar de financiar o hacer una compra en efectivo. Como parte del acuerdo, retuvo una participación en las otras propiedades en caso de que se desarrollen o vendan.
Lo que Gores adquirió en las ventas fue un moderno escaparate de más de 30.000 pies cuadrados. Desarrollada por Gala Asher y Ed Berman, la mansión se encuentra en un terreno donde Barbra Streisand una vez tuvo una casa. La propiedad incluye varias casas de huéspedes y cuenta con 10 dormitorios y 20 baños. Sólo la suite principal tiene más de 5.000 pies cuadrados, casi el doble del tamaño de una casa unifamiliar promedio en los Estados Unidos.
Repartiendo unos cuantos millones
En el año 2000, el propietario de Dole Food Co., David Murdock, y el financiero Gary Winnick cerraron un acuerdo de 94 millones de dólares que se convertiría en el récord de precios del condado durante más de una década.
La pieza central de la transacción fue la finca trofeo de 8.4 acres de Murdock, conocida como Casa Encantada. Construida en la década de 1930 para la heredera de la fabricación de vidrio Hilda Boldt Weber, el inmueble fue posteriormente propiedad del fundador de Hilton Hotels, Conrad Hilton, durante tres décadas a partir de 1950.
La propiedad, situada en la cima de una loma, colinda con varios hoyos en el privado Bel-Air Country Club e incluye una piscina, una casa de piscina y una cancha de tenis. Los 28.725 pies cuadrados de espacio de construcción tienen siete dormitorios y 20 baños, de acuerdo con los registros de impuestos.
Un asunto repleto de estrellas
Owlwood, que una vez fue el hogar del actor Tony Curtis y más tarde del dúo de cantantes Sonny y Cher, podría ascender en la lista después de volver al mercado por 110 millones de dólares. Pero por ahora, está en la lista por 90 millones de dólares, el precio de venta en 2016 a un grupo de desarrollo encabezado por el ex jefe de Woodbridge Luxury Homes, Robert Shapiro.
El nuevo listado viene después de que Shapiro fuera arrestado a principios de este año; se le acusa de estafar a miles de inversores en un esquema Ponzi de 1.300 millones de dólares que impulsó su lujoso estilo de vida. Owlwood se encuentra entre las propiedades de Woodbridge que están siendo liquidadas para pagar a los inversores.
Ubicada en aproximadamente 10 acres, la residencia se centra en una mansión de 12.200 pies cuadrados estilo Revival Italiano que cuenta con nueve recámaras. Dos casas de huéspedes, un par de puertas de entrada y una cancha de tenis también se encuentran en el terreno.
En 2002, el fundador de Ameriquest Capital Corp., Roland Arnall, y su esposa, Dawn, adquirieron la casa junto con dos propiedades adyacentes, las antiguas casas de la actriz Jayne Mansfield y la actriz y nadadora Esther Williams, que fueron absorbidas por la propiedad de Owlwood.
Las residencias Mansfield y Williams fueron demolidas más tarde, aunque la casa de piscina y la piscina de 70 pies de largo de la antigua casa de Williams fueron conservadas.
Guerra de precios multimillonaria
Una vez considerada la primera venta de vivienda de 100 millones de dólares en el condado de Los Ángeles, el acuerdo de Fleur de Lys en 2014 en realidad estableció el precio de la propiedad en 88.3 millones de dólares. La disparidad, revelada pocos meses después de una ráfaga inicial de publicidad, puede ser atribuida al arte invaluable y a los muebles antiguos negociados fuera del precio de cierre.
No menos de tres multimillonarios participaron en una guerra de ofertas para asegurar la propiedad de cinco acres, con el trato en efectivo cerrándose en 10 días.
La vendedora, la mujer de sociedad Suzanne Saperstein, construyó la residencia de 50.000 pies cuadrados con su entonces esposo, el fundador de Metro Networks, David Saperstein. Construida en 2002, la finca se inspiró en el Vaux-le-Victome, un palacio en las afueras de París, y cuenta con techos de paneles de hojas de oro, bloques de piedra caliza importados y un salón de baile con capacidad para 500 personas.
Los 4.6 acres de terreno incluyen dos patios de estacionamiento, un complejo de piscina y spa y una cancha de tenis.
Jay y Bey vuelven a casa
Después de coquetear con numerosas propiedades de Los Ángeles durante años, la poderosa pareja del hip-hop Jay-Z y Beyoncé finalmente causó sensación en el mercado en 2017, pagando 88 millones de dólares por una mansión moderna construida sobre la base de la especulación.
Escondido detrás de muros y puertas, el escaparate monolítico es una superestrella por derecho propio con seis estructuras que se combinan para ofrecer cerca de 30.000 pies cuadrados de espacio interior. Las características incluyen una instalación de spa y bienestar, una sala de medios y cuatro piscinas al aire libre. Las puertas y ventanas de la casa están forradas con vidrio a prueba de balas.
También dentro del complejo de aproximadamente dos acres hay una cancha completa de baloncesto y cuartos separados para el personal. Dispone de un garaje para 15 vehículos, así como de un patio para autos y una zona de estacionamiento para el personal.

Smoke and Mirrorshades: Cyberpunk Aesthetics in Anime
  Jacking In
  Ask a dozen people what they mean when they say “cyberpunk” and you'll likely get thirteen different answers. Some folks emphasize the “cyber” element, pointing to stories of keyboard cowboys hacking into the Matrix to wreak havoc among the servers of faceless multinational mega-corps, or stories of street samurai who augment their bodies with military-grade hardware, turning themselves into chromed-out hybrids more machine than man.
    Other folks emphasize the “punk” part, pointing to tales of disenfranchised individuals engaging in petty acts of rebellion in the face of socio-economic structures so massive that they stretch beyond the Earth's atmosphere, crushing the entirety of humanity beneath their weight.
  Still others (such as Cameron Kunzelman at VICE) argue that the themes of cyberpunk run no deeper than the aesthetic level. If you'll pardon the tortured simile, cyberpunk is like obscenity in the legal sense; everybody recognizes it when they see it, but no two people are guaranteed to agree on what it means to be "cyberpunk."
    Gearing Up
  By my definition, “cyberpunk” describes a period of science fiction literature that can be bounded by William Gibson's 1983 short story “Burning Chrome” on one end and by Neal Stephenson's 1992 novel Snow Crash on the other. There's also the 1974 pre-cyberpunk novella The Girl Who Was Plugged In by James Tiptree Jr. (the pen name of author Alice Sheldon) and numerous post-cyberpunk works, but the point of this post is not to offer an exhaustive explanation.
  When I hear “cyberpunk”, I think of two phrases: “high tech, low life” and “the street finds its own use for things.” I think of the specific cocktail of economic anxiety, Orientalism, Cold War paranoia, expanding ecological disasters, and explosive, bewildering advances in computer and communications technology that made the world of the '80s and '90s feel like a smaller, faster, meaner, and more terrifying place.
    Tuning Out
  It's only natural that the Japanese take on cyberpunk offers a different perspective, one that is informed by a different array of cultural factors than those that birthed cyberpunk fiction in Europe and the United States. While the U.S. produced Blade Runner, Japan produced Tetsuo: The Iron Man. However, my concern here is the aesthetics of cyberpunk fiction and how they manifest in works of Japanese animation both popular and obscure.
  When it comes to cyberpunk anime, I like to joke that it's all about the three 'M's: mohawks, motorcycles, and mono-filament wire, with the first being a visual shorthand for people who live on the edges of society, the second being semaphore for a rebellion against the status quo, and the third just looking really, really cool. But enough preamble. Let's dig a little deeper, with a look at the 900 pound cybernetic gorilla in the room.
youtube
    Signal to Noise
  Ask fans of a certain age for an example of a cyberpunk anime, and one popular response will be Bubblegum Crisis, a series of original animation videos published from 1987-1991 with chief direction by Katsuhito Akiyama and animation production by Artmic and AIC. Renowned for its music and its often ludicrous violence, Bubblegum Crisis inspired numerous spin-offs (such as both the A.D. Police OAVs and TV series), sequels (Bubblegum Crash), and reboots (Bubblegum Crisis 2040).
  But is Bubblegum Crisis cyberpunk? Kinda, but not really.
  Bubblegum Crisis has rampaging robots (known as “Boomers”, ha ha) because Blade Runner had runaway replicants. It has a kick-ass soundtrack because Streets of Fire had the same. It has lesbian vampire gynoids on the moon because... well, why not? Bubblegum Crisis is a prime example of the paradox that is cyberpunk, because all of its cyberpunk elements—ruthless multinational corporations that are above the law, high-tech weaponry, punk fashion—are purely surface level. It's innovation through imitation. The street finds its own use for things.
    A more pure example of cyberpunk anime from this time period is Cyber City Oedo 808, a 1990-1991 OAV series with direction by Yoshiaki Kawajiri and animation by MADHOUSE. Cyber City Oedo 808 has it all: career criminals forced to act as bounty hunters by explosive collars attached to their necks, malevolent AI, military conspiracies, laser-spewing cyborg saber-tooth tigers, space vampires—plus motorcycles, mohawks, and mono-filament wire. It's 110% style over substance, but it's also so cyberpunk that it hurts.
  Other examples may offer a little bit of the “cyber” and/or a little bit of the “punk” elements, but the label doesn't always fit. For example, Megazone 23, a 1985-1989 OAV series that features the talents of such science fiction luminaries as Noboru Ishiguro and Shinji Aramaki, is almost cyberpunk. It plays with ideas of artificial intelligence, it proposes a paranoid worldview based on a massive government cover-up, and it also has motorcycles.
    The 1993 Battle Angel OAVs (based on the Battle Angle Alita/GUNNM manga by Yukito Kishiro) lean heavily into trans-humanism and cybernetic body modification for both practical and aesthetic purposes, exploring what it means to be more human than human. It also has mohawks.
  The various iterations of Appleseed (based on the manga by Masamune Shirow) have a bit of both "cyber" and "punk." Appleseed deals with issues of a class with the Bioroids being treated like second-class citizens and with economic disparity by exploring the massive difference between life inside cities such as Olympus and Poseidon compared with the rest of the world, which is ravaged by war. The 2004 theatrical anime film also has mono-filament wire.
    But the ur-examples of Japanese cyberpunk anime—the works whose influence is as inescapable as the gravity well of a black hole—are the 1988 theatrical anime film Akira (directed by Katsuhiro Otomo) and the 1995 theatrical anime film Ghost in the Shell (directed by Mamoru Oshii). Much ink has already been spilled upon the aesthetics and themes of these landmark movies, but suffice to say, they are the total cyberpunk package, and their original manga incarnations are arguably meatier and more complex than the anime adaptations.
youtube
    Present Day, Present Time
  It feels strange to phrase it this way, but one of the more recent anime series with a strong cyberpunk aesthetic is serial experiments lain, a TV anime from 1998 with direction by Ryutaro Nakamura and animation by Triangle Staff. Even over 20 years later, serial experiments lain is squirming with cyberpunky goodness with its exploration of virtual spaces, its interrogation of persona and personality, and its themes about the invasive, intrusive effects of technology upon our lives.
  Another series that shares the same series composer (Chiaki J. Konaka) and character designer (Yoshitoshi ABe) as serial experiments lain is the 2003 TV anime, Texhnolyze. Aside from being dark, inscrutable, and borderline impossible to spell correctly without consulting Wikipedia, Texhnolyze is also extremely dreary and likely to appeal to nearly no one, but it checks enough cyberpunk boxes that it deserves at least a passing mention here.
    Log Off
  Time moves ever onward, but the particular anxieties and aspirations that cyberpunk as an art-form addresses remain frozen, a crystallization of concerns from decades long past. For example, while there are still anime that explore virtual spaces (such as the .hack/ series, Sword Art Online, and their many imitators in the “trapped in an MMO” sub-genre), they aren't engaging with the material in the same way as Case from Neuromancer or Hiro Protagonist from Snow Crash.
  Despite the occasional AAA video game title or post-cyberpunk Hollywood reboot, it seems that cyberpunk may have outlived its moment of cultural necessity, but that's not so much a matter of the shifting needs of fiction as it is an expression of what's happening in the not-so-romantic realms of reality.
    With each passing year, reality grows more cyberpunk. Technology continues to outstrip humanity's capacity to embrace and understand it. Corporations continue to expand. Nation-states grow more indifferent to the needs of their citizens. The rich get richer, while the gig economy ensures that the marginalized will do practically anything to scrape by. Surveillance capitalism abounds. New markets are born from a vast sea of information. The demand is limitless. The product is you.
  Nevertheless, humanity resists. While technocrats try to shape the future of society, grassroots movements seize their platforms for their own purposes. The institutions of power and privilege are met with massive protests. Mundane technologies are re-purposed to foil facial recognition software and disarm state-sponsored violence. The street finds its own use for things.
  Are you living in the real world?
  Do you plan to spend Cyber Monday racing down the Information Superhighway on your flash new deck? What other anime represent the essence of "cyberpunk" to you? Mirrorshades or mono-filament wire? Let us know in the comments section below!
