Obata-sama's gone a bit too wild, thar...O.o

Sorry I keep posting here...like all day long, but I'm finding some really interesting things! XD I found pictures of Obata's character designs for Castlevania...and...Well, I'd just like to compare it to Ayami Kojima's:

Here's Obata's design:

And Here's Ayami Kojima's:

(These aren't the same characters, but I think the next ones are)

Obata's:

Ayami Kojima's Alucard (from Symphony of the Night):

I think Obata's gone a bit nuts, don't you guys agree? Ayami Kojima's style fits the gothic darkness of Castlevania...but Obata's just looks like a stereotypical character design for a japanese game. Tons of detail, tons of belts and chains, girls with huge weapons, nothing seems really original from his designs. Now, Ayami Kojima's has an elegance to it. It's beautiful, yet dark and a bit creepy. Her designs are really unique and original and I really like her style. I really like Obata's style...but it's really a put off when I see such unoriginal and nuts designs for a video game that I really like for it's casual kind of realistic style.

Obata's designs are for the fighting game version of Castlevania, but I would like to play as characters in a fighting game with Ayami Kojima's designs, not nutso designs that don't even fit the style of the game.

Obata-sama has deeply disappointed me...But I like the designs anyway for a game that WASN'T Castlevania...actually, if he toned it down a bit without all the belts and chains, I'd like it more for another video game, but the way it is the designs are really icky.

Freaky...O.o

Doesn't this guy look too much like Sora?

And comparison to Sora:

I think he looks a TON like Sora...only older, more realistic, and more detailed. He could be the adult Sora! O.O

How do waterfalls work?

How do waterfalls work like that? They were in Avatar, also. How do waterfalls work when they fall down from the sky like that?

I thought that water comes down the waterfall, and then it goes back up through the water cycle. But how does it work when the water comes from the sky. It's not like the water cycle can work again to keep the water there. I don't think falling water evaporates....I'm really confused! TT^TT

Concept Art

Freaking! TT^TT

Have you SEEN video game character concept art!? All of the character designs are awesome...TT^TT

I'm going to go and look at as many as possible...some time now...

Oh! Hi! I didn't watch any anime, I was just reading about Sengoku Basara characters! XD Not...watching the anime....what's wrong with me?

Also, HarvestMoonLuvr posted her review of movies...and just the though of movie review...sparked an idea in my head. Would you guys mind me making a world of movie reviews? I watch a new movie every week, and these movies are ones that have been nominated, not any box office hit, those are the worst kinds of movies. Just because a ton of people go to see it doesn't mean it's good. Like if you bought a manga you've never read, just because you bought it doesn't mean you like it, you just want to read it.

The movies I'll be getting in the future are the following:

Treeless Mountain
Cold Souls
An Education
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Nine
The Lovely Bones
The Blind Side (even though I've already seen it and hate this movie SOOO much, my mom wants to watch it)
The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus
Sherlock Holmes
Crazy Heart
The Messenger
The Last Station
Invictus
A Single Man
The Secret of the Kells
Alice in Wonderland (Tim Burton Version)

Those are the kinds of movies that I watch or would be willing to watch. The ones that get positive reviews on metacritic.

I dunno if I would annoy you with my snobbish attitudes with movies or I would help you. I've seen several movies in my life time enough for requests of reviews (since I can't remember all the movies) OR trailer reviews, because I have an eye for telling if a movie is good or not just by the trailers...even though when it comes to comedies, I just say it's bad because they're comedies (I like SOME comedy movies like Super Bad...but I don't think me reviewing a comedy movie would actually prove that a comedy is good or bad, it all depends on your sense of humor) and the same for horror movies (unless I hear otherwise, but hardly any horror/slasher movies have I seen that were actually good...besides Silence of the Lambs and The Shining).

Should I or should I not? I'd be happy to do reviews, I just don't know if you'd be annoyed by me or not. A lot of people seem to hate critics...People think I hate movies, I do I love movies, so much that I hate seeing bad ones or seeing mistakes in them.

I've seen most of the Ghibli films except for that dragon one and Kiki's Delivery Service (I've missed every single chance to watch it! TT^TT) and a few others. And I've seen End of Evangelion, Akira, and Paprika (the anime movie greats) and also Millenium Princess...but I haven't really seen that many anime movies besides those (and all of the Sailor Moon and Pokemon movies, but we've all seen those, haven't we? And none of them are that good, and I couldn't review them because I love things that give me nostalgia and just love Sailor Moon and Pokemon anyways).

There are a lot of anime movies I'd like to see...but I don't know HOW to get the movies...maybe I could watch them online, but I don't like watching movies in such poor quality (I prefer to watch movies on my HD TV with surround sound...>:) ).

So, just let me know if you're interested in movie reviews! They'll be harsh, though. If people or going to pay for a movie they should be wowed by it, not somewhat entertained.

*cries*

And I literally did cry, still am crying.

I watched the rest of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0...and I cried the entire last episode and still am...XD I'm trying to get happier and trying to listen to happy music, and it's cheering me up. I'm listening to this song:

It's sooo catchy! XD I'm thinking about making a meme or something off of it...but it sounds really pointless, so I probably won't! XD

Why am I crying so much? Well, let's see, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is about a girl and her brother who go to a robot show because her little brother loves robots and he wanted to go to Daiba bridge with his sister to cheer her up, but being an angsty tween she didn't really cheer up and then BAM an earthquake. Then they meet this REALLY nice lady named Mari who's daughter she is worries about because she lives in a completely different district and she wants her to be okay since it seems like it's hell everywhere else. So they all try to get home while learning about how bad it is with everyone.

And the little boy is sooo cute and I get really sad when he cries! TT^TT Not that he cried in the last episode...but you really have to watch it! It's very interesting and sad at the same time...because of why could happen in the future of Tokyo if there is a biiig massive earthquake.

I feel better now! XD

Now I want to go watch Sengoku Basara...but somebody dies in it so I'm kinda upset about that...not that he was a good guy...or...bad guy...Actually I'm really confused about who he is, but I feel bad for his wife (she's so pretty X3). But ACTION MAN! >:)

I seem to like anime/manga that gives me lots of emotion. Liiike Jigoku Shoujo and Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 make me cry a lot, Deadman Wonderland makes me sick (and pumped), Sengoku Basara makes me pumped and energetic and like 'LET'S PARTAAAYYY!!!' (All thanks to Date Masamune...I love the things he says! XD), and then certain shoujo manga (actually any shoujo manga I like) makes me blush a ton...I don't know why these things happen, but it just makes me like the anime or manga even more if it can give me such emotions! ^ ^

There's other manga that gives me weird feelings...like magical feelings...like Shirokukuro Kitan and Bakuman...I just feel magical...my feelings are different for both, but I still feel magical...O.o Hard to explain, but I love them.

Hrmm...my head kinda hurts from watching all this anime....or crying....but I think it's the anime.

I wanna go watch more Sengoku Basara...>:) Lemme see if I can draw a picture, though....for a break from manga...don't want to have my head hurt anymore...Then again...sleep heals me....like in video games...sooo...Yeah, I'll just draw that picture...XD

Bye-bye! ^ ^
