I recently came across a fascinating concept known as the Magic School Bus DVD series. This educational show is based on the famous book series of the same name by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. The animation and storytelling style of the show has captivated both kids and adults alike. The Magic School Bus DVD series follows the adventures of a quirky and enthusiastic science teacher, Ms. Frizzle, and her class of students. Using their magical school bus, which can transform into any shape or size, they embark on extraordinary field trips to explore scientific concepts in a fun and interactive way.
Using their magical school bus, which can transform into any shape or size, they embark on extraordinary field trips to explore scientific concepts in a fun and interactive way. Each episode of the Magic School Bus DVD series focuses on a specific scientific topic, such as the human body, space, or ecosystems. Through the use of imaginative storytelling and vibrant visuals, complex scientific concepts are broken down into easily understandable and relatable information for young viewers.
Louie the Rune Soldier: Volume 1
Stop us if you've heard this one: a feckless antihero finds himself beset by a handful of sexy, powerful women who, for vague reasons, insist on accompanying and "serving" him through a series of absurd adventures, rife with male-female badinage and sexual titillation. This boy-and-babes formula is a familiar one in manga, seen in such hits as Tenchi Muyo! and Love Hina . Here, the setting is a thinly sketched sword-and-sorcery milieu, played strictly for laughs, while the protagonist is Louie, a brawler chosen by divine intervention to become the "hero" for three female adventurers. The trio recognize Louie is a clod, but are nonetheless fated to serve him. Louie, an amoral loser of faint prospects, is the kind of ne'er-do-well so popular among role-playing gamers; predictably, though, the story hints at his hidden depths. one of several new entries from the recently-launched ADV Manga line, this work was originally published in Japan in 2000, and ties into the anime series Maho Senshi Riui (known here as Rune Soldier ). The manga adaptation is the work of artist Sasameyuki, whose compositions are nigh on illegible and whose sense of atmosphere is nil (he gives no attention to creating a distinct world). Despite odd flashes of visual wit, the story is bankrupt and the storytelling confused, though manga diehards may stay the course. (Mar.)

When an all-female adventuring team needs a mage, the only one they can get on short notice is the burly adopted son of the head of the local mage guild. Not only does Louie look more like a fighter than a mage, he acts like it, too, getting into all manner of trouble and trying to solve it with his fists. And when the team's cleric learns that her god has assigned to her a special relationship with Louie, well, let's just say she's less than happy.
