ルパン三世 Green vs RED


Re-watched it. Still find it great. This time got a subbed version so finally understood some bits. During the first (few) times hadn't managed to grasp the idea that Yasuo did not intentionally become Lupin. This time had a nice understanding that being a criminal genius is hard and you have to make your own entertainment, like for example carefully raising an opponent worth fighting (maybe the creators read a lot about Vetinari?).Has become one of my favourites for ever and ever and ever. Also love the many nods to Castle of Caligostro they have been having lately.
About the end, am sure that the weird guy at the ramen shop is a post-op Yasuo after all, he knew Yukiko but she didn't) and Lupin nicked Yasuo's ring as a keepsake and an entertaining memory of [another?] experiment gone wrong. Somehow it's a theme the anime has lately - looking for a subtitute and pointing him in the right direction only to have him fail at the end. Maybe am looking too much into this because of Jigoku Shoujo III (maybe they are working together, muaha)
The voices are a bit strained, but I suppose that that is how it is and I can only hope that the seiyuu know how much joy they bring the die-hard fans. Looks like we'll be getting a new Zenigata, also possibly Goemon

BLEACH film - Diamond Dust Rebellion

I have two major points to make about this film:
  1. What is it with the makers of BLEACH films and the villain creating a big fuck-off-and-don't-pay-the-milkman tree at the end? Surely that points to an obsession on the part of the people thinking up this shit?
  2. I have realised that the sole purpose of every film and arc is to do as much damage to Soul Society as possible both material and moral. In every filler and every film Soul Society is worse than all the killers, rapists and baby-eaters put together. I mean, I can still understand that the poorer areas are full of people, who are only glad at the physical damage because it creates extra employment, but who is going to repair the reputation of the Seireitei?

Not bad, the animation seemed good, but they went over the top again though. Why is it that in these movies they put as many people in as possible? Surely that's stretching a civilian

jaapani anime festival! YAY!

Starting form 17.03 Sõprus, my only saviour in these harsh lands, will be showing for an entire week anime *falls over happily*. My joy is immeasurable since that means that I'll get to see Totoro and Hotaru no Haka on the big screen. The only minus is that I'll probably have to bring along a sleeping bag, some clothes and something to keep me alive like food&water, because so far I've got six films that I want to see no matter what and the rest are rather inviting. To see Tonari no Totoro in a movie theater would be one of the highlights of my current being, since it's the first anime I ever bought (in Tokyo, might I add, so the movie has even more importance).
I'll probably start crying at every one of the six but who cares, I always cry when watching movies unless I've seen them so many times that I could draw the storyboards from my head.
Currently am having a happiness-overdose. Bye.
