Fukigen na mononokean tsuzuki episode 8 movie#
Particularly its initial scenes feel particularly juvenile, as though the movie was aimed at children. To a lesser but still significant extent, the movie concentrates on specific directors but more so actors who were also adept swordsmen, analyzing which historical samurai movie stars were the best swordsmen. The documentary spends a great deal of time explaining the history of Japan's film industry along with explaining the reasons for the various periods of popularity for differing styles of chambara. So I have to selfishly bemoan the fact that the movie references actor Tomisaburo Wakayama a few times but doesn't highlight any of his films.
Fukigen na mononokean tsuzuki episode 8 plus#
The movie is mostly a historical and conceptual overview of films from 1908's Battle at Honnoji Temple to 1972's Kogarashi Monjiro, plus 2014's Uzumasa Limelight. The movie loosely views itself as a history of jidaigeki films, but its focus is consciously on chambara films.
Watched the 2016 Japanese documentary film Jidaigeki wa Shinazu: Chambara Bigaku Kou. As a fan of outré and monster horror, I'm quite grateful that I stumbled across this comic. The comic also brilliantly transitions from monochrome to bloody red color to both heighten its visual impact and to emphasize its theme. Rendering of normal humans isn't exceptional, but the depiction of the primal Legion that look vaguely like hairy Vikings from hell is very evocative. The visual design lies somewhere in between the styles of James O'Barr and Joe Vigil or Tim Tyler. With an adequate budget this comic could be envisioned as an atmospheric grand guignol, sort of a Hellraiser on an epic scale. The scale and the graphic horror of the apocalypse are strikingly fantastical and imaginative Sanz is also a film director. The appeal, if it can be called such, lies in the very morbid and grotesque Clive Barker-esque creative detail of the apocalypse. Three people unconsciously perform the rites necessary to open the doorway to hell, so unspeakable legions of demons descend upon Buenos Aires. I pulled a copy from a dollar box just because the cover caught my eye. Seemingly it does, but exactly how much appears to vary wildly depending on seller. Manaria Friends episode 6 is a pleasant one.Ĭaught up on reading Doctor Aphra comics 23-28 & Annual 2.įirst I'll admit that I had no clue that the one-shot comic Legion, an English language translation of artist Salvador Sanz' Argentine horror comic, published in 2007 by IDW, had any sort of collector value. Unexpectedly, Kemurikusa episode 8 does have some affective tragedy. I appreciate, at least, that the episode seems to realize its own weakness and attempt to compensate with flashy animation. Shield Hero episode 8 is another sub-par episode that should have a weighty dramatic and affective impact yet doesn't. Watched Fukigen na Mononokean Tsuzuki episode 8. Slime episode 21 is a transitional episode that's not tremendously interesting or exciting despite it very bluntly inserting action scenes to attempt to enliven the episode. I'm a bit surprised that Kemono Friends 2 episode 7 just seemed to abandon the deepening story details introduced by episode 6. I get that Ueno is embarassed over the fuss Tanaka made, but I don't understand why that would make her avoid explaining. I don't completely understand the ending of Ueno-san episode 8. Watched Kakegurui XX episode 7, which is essentially a transitional episode. Watched Virtual-san wa Miteiru episodes 5-6 I'm a little bit disappointed with Ekoda-chan episode 7 because despite it having a very unique visual design and animation style, it has as much depth of characterization as any of the episodes do yet feels less substantial and significant than usual episodes. While some of the episode is quite sweet and interesting, Tsutsui avoiding Ito feels extremely redundant, and Tsutsui again getting selfishly myopic is just annoying.
Without going into extensive detail that the episode doesn't really deserve, I'll just say that I have a mixed feeling about 3D Kanojo Real Girl.
