Ororororo! I am so excited *fans myself hastily with big abanico fan*
Live action movie adaptation of my favoritest Bakamatsu hitokiri (assassin/manslayer)!
The teaser looks way cool (am getting goosebumps), and I fervently hope they don't disappoint the still-here fans (*cough, cough* like me) who have been faithfully loyal to this series - from the manga (Watsuki-sama, mwaah!), to the anime, to the movie and even the OAVs even if one sucked big-time like a badly written fanfiction...*heats up*
Anyways... *sigh* I hope I can see this somewhere on the internet coz its fat chance it will show in our theaters...
Agreed Cat, it looks great. Hope it gets on Japanese TV so I can enjoy it. lol
ReplyDeleteif it gets to Japanese tv and you see it, let me know...huhuhu, I shall suffer happily...
ReplyDeleteIf it does it will probably be released on DVD too, then you can just buy it. lol
ReplyDeleteweirdly, stuff like that hardly gets here...
ReplyDeletethough I've got to say (looks left and right) the pirated copies of the anime, movie and oavs have been in supply here for some time, but thats because RK has been here for a long time already...its anime series I've seen probably around 3 times already on tv...the movie too..but not so much the OAV...
anyway, good luck to us! haha!
Yes. lol
ReplyDeletei'm amazed you know this & a follower...i only find out about Japanese films, when they get cited or i browse thru in flight foreign movie menus.
ReplyDeletetfs Cat! this is definitely something to look forward to, i've just bought my 3rd copy of 13 Assassins , the other 2 were terrible copies :)
its coz may friends din kc po ako na mahilig sa anime and manga :-)
ReplyDeleteand..who remember the good old days of watching Ruruoni Kenshin (but more known as Samurai X) on tv
if you can get hold of the first OAV (or OVA, same thing) - Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal, known in Japan as Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen (追憶編, Recollection or Reminiscence) - yung history ni Kenshin mismo sa Bakumatsu, where he was a young hitokiri (manslayer)
mas may drama (but its animated) kaysa yung ikalawa na OVA na ending na nila ni Kaoru (yung naging wife nya)..otherwise, e antayin natin ang live action :-)
I have no idea if it will touch on the manga, the animation series done again or even a new storyline with new villain etc. Wish naming mga RK fans is to have the Jinchuu Arc (which we call the Revenge Arc) to be animated sana coz only parts of the whole manga series was done...
for Jap films -
I've seen almost of all of Akira Kurosawa's film way back pa...kaya am a big big fan of Jap films even before (but I do not like their horror films)....
hmm...aside from 13 Assasins, napanood nyo ba yung Zatōichi (2003 yata na film, I haven't seen the orig)? hehehe..nakakatuwa rin yon...
ReplyDeletei like Death Note series too! Zatoichi with Takeshi directing & starring in the movie i have...also Lone Wolf, Baby Cart series, i have.
ReplyDeletewehehe...now that I didn't expect na nanood kayo ng Death Note...
ReplyDeleteyou kidding...i really like that, i've been trying very hard not to buy the action figure...i've been eyeing the action figure set for over a year now! but if kids see it in my clinic baka matakot or parents would say lets get out of here ...lol
ReplyDeleteHLH!
ReplyDeletewhat's " HLH"?
ReplyDeletehalakhak
ReplyDeletehehehe
sabi ko na nga ba! :)
ReplyDelete55555!
ReplyDeleteHi Cath, check out the movies of Akira Kurosawa.
ReplyDeleteSir Ver, thank you..but I've already seen and loved most of his movies from Rashomon (1950s) upwards to Yojimbo, Throne of Blood, Red Beard, Ran etc.
ReplyDeleteOf course, unang una sa was the marvelous Seven Samurai (hey, reminds me of the anime too, though its a diferent story and called Samurai Seven)....I also like Toshirō Mifune
Yung copy ko of Rashomon was one thing I replayed over and over (unfortunately I think it got misplaced after my AIM days where instead of studying, I was watching dvds hehehe) ....
... it contained a section wherein they explained the camera work behind it - lighting and how it was planned out to help tell the story - probably why it made Rashomon one of my favorites although di sya as "epic" ang dating as Ran...
