For Halloween
...and to continue—if only briefly—paying homage to 20-year-old Sega Genesis/Mega Drive games.
Though I was never a big fan of the actual game play, I was rather impressed with the intros and cut scenes for the old Splatterhouse games, maybe because I like Halloween, or maybe because I like the idea of a talking mask...
Here is the intro to Splatterhouse 2:

For Great Justice
This is perhaps past its prime, but the original is so much better than all the bastard children it's spawned that it bears revisiting. Plus, there are still some people who remain innocent of the whole phenomenon. In my view, though, the following is all one ever need see of it.
And now, without further ado...

Science Fiction Mixed with Martial Arts
Sci-Fi and Martial Arts
That sums up the Approaching Infinity genre quite handily. The assignation may seem obvious, but it eluded me for quite a while (embarrassing, I know). Even after both Amazon reviews described it as such, when someone asked me to boil it down, I was hard-pressed to answer, but here we are: Sci-Fi & Martial Arts.
Besides The Matrix or The One or The Chronicles of Riddick (which are all quite different from Approaching Infinity), does anyone have any titles to add or to recommend? There are a whole slew of them in Anime: Hokuto no Ken, Dragon Ball Z, Kakugo no Susume, etc., but any titles would be appreciated.

Icsain
General, 21st Generation
Category: NA
Discipline: NA
Height: 190 cm
Weight: 140 kg
Gravity Rank: 50
RPP: 7,000
RMP: 7,000
Birthdate: Unknown
Artifact: Relic Cords
Artifact Rank: 20
Dark RPP: 140,000
Dark RMP: 140,000
Active Dates: 10,690-Current
Residence: Root Palace
Icsain does not undergo a physical change when he goes Dark. While not technically a psychic himself, his intellect and ability to simultaneously calculate multiple probabilities give him an exceptional defense against psychic assault. They also enable him to exploit the Relic Cords in a way that Karlan Farsal never could. With the Cords, Icsain can control up to 140,000 individuals and need not focus on any single one or group after a set of instructions has been given. With instructions, any being under the control of the Cords will complete assigned tasks, using limited critical thinking skills to accomplish the required goal or die in the attempt. Once the goal has been accomplished, the being under control will wait idle for further instructions.
