Tekkon Kinkreet || it's my brother's birthday! || note to self || ???

(It's been a while since I've done a movie post, eh?)

Finally watched Tekkon Kinkreet. I know, I know what you're thinking: Why, Inez! It took you this long to watch Tekkon Kinkreet, the movie that your darling Ninomiya Kazunari lent his voice to? Shame on you! That shit came out in 2006, though technically on DVD in 2007! It's true, I was slow on this one. (Though I've only been in fandom since late 2008, so I think I get a pass on this (false).) I actually have tried to watch this multiple times, but I could never really get past the animation, which is honestly not my thing, despite being very obviously carefully crafted.

But today I picked up the DVD, which came magically to a library near me via InterLibrary Loan (other dark uses of ILL have included requesting the entirety of Animorphs one summer, during which the Haverford library had to borrow from public libraries all over Pennsylvania just so that I could ~*~rediscover my childhood~*~; suffice it to say, I only got through about 30 or so books -- a little more than halfway!). And I sat down and watched it. It was actually quite nice. I mean "nice" in a strange and dark and somewhat trippy kind of way, which many anime movies seem to tend toward, but I think it was a good exploration of childhood and friendship and [loss of] innocence and internal conflict and all of that. Solemn and shocking and poignant, and very well done. A little violent, so steer clear if that's not your cup o' tea, but otherwise highly recommended.

And of course, Nino did a great job. No, seriously, that boy is talented. Good cast all around, though obviously Nino was the best. ★ Bonus points if you can pick out Morisanchuu's voices!


November 4th! It's my brother's birthday! Or as Dwight might say: "It is your birthday." We're Irish twins, so for six days starting on my birthday (Oct 29 to Nov 3), we're the same numerical age. But now he's older again. I guess it was glorious while it lasted...


to-do list: R, Nov 4

I feel like I had more to say in this post, but obviously it wasn't important if I can't remember it now. Heh. I hope you appreciate how I pointlessly wrote more words for you to scroll past. You're welcome~

I didn't see Tekkon Kinkreet till this summer when I had my free month of Netflix. I didn't realize Nino was one of the voices! It's very strange, but I really do like the movie. :D

忙しいそうね。それで、「アレ」って何でしょうか。（゜゜；）

d00d, he was Kuro! Though I guess if you don't know his voice, you wouldn't recognize it.

な・い・しょ（笑）

I haven't watched this anime too. I guess I have to download it....

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

It's definitely worth watching once you get the chance. :D

[jadeswallow.livejournal.com]

Oh the things I will do for Nino...

Oh Tekkon Kinkreet. So good. ♥

[ltgmars.livejournal.com]

I finally got to see it! It's quite good. :D

idec about the fact that Nino's voice is in Tekkon Kinkreet (lol sorry Nino, you're really good but not the point) because I honestly just love that movie to absolute pieces and I love the art like you can't even imagine. I've been meaning to watch it again. It's been so long, ahh.

I have the entirety of Animorphs in a box in my cupboard, hah!

I think it's good that he was one of the seiyuu, because it got a lot of people to watch the movie. It really took me some time to get into the animation, but it grew on me soon enough.

I have the entirety of Animorphs on a shelf in my room. Samesies~
