if you are reading this, you qualify for a cookie. to claim your baked treat, go to the nearest place that does cookies and buy/steal one!
not that i condone stealing... :q


anyhoo, tis another short(ish) update from me.

its fairly quiet in my life at the moment, not much worth talking about.

i just gave myself a hickey...i have no idea why... 0_o

the other day i bought two anime movies on DVD. i got "Origin: Spirits of the Past" and "The Girl Who Leapt Through Time."

i havent watched "The girl" yet, but i watched "Origins" the other day, to to be frank, i was disappointed with it.

Imagine sombody took "Princess Mononoke" and "Nausicaa Valley of the Wind", mixed them together, added a smattering of other Ghibli films and then under cooked the whole concotion...thats kinda like what watching Origins is like. The story-line is good. The concepts are good. the visuals are lush. the music is pretty good. the character designs are pretty standard but locations are inspired. but the whole thing just doesnt mesh. there is no character development, the plot line is convoluted and rushed, some parts of it are just simply not explained and are superfluous to the story.

it really is a shame, cuz the whole thing just bursts with potential. the ecological message is a good one, but like the rest of the movie, it just seems forced through. "Origins" would have benefitted from being made into an OVA or a short anime series (12 episodes should suffice) in order to fully work out the little kinks and faults that it has as a movie. the flims strongest points are some certain scenes where the visuals are amazing (the opening credits scene is incredibly powerful), the landscapes and locations of the dystopian world in which the story is set (one scene sees the protagonist doing salavage work in an old mall...which is on its side, and he's coming in from the top.) and the opening and ending songs are beautiful and haunting. its not enough to make this movie worth purchasing, but if its showing somewhere for free, it might be worth a look-see, just cuz tiny little bits of it are actually really well done.


i hope "The Girl" does not disappoint like "Origins" did.



thats all i really wanted to say today. im gonna leave off with more Gundam pictures. ^^

The GN-XIII has become one of my favourite standard mobile suits
GN-XIII, ESF colours

GN-XIIIs are fitted with a GN drive like the Gundams are, but they are fake drives which produce toxic red GN particles
i would totally want to pilot one of these if it wasnt for the toxic GN particles
the head on the model is restricted in movement, but otherwise its pretty poseable
the GN lance/rifle como is definitely one of the more interesting weapons of Gundam 00

and pictures of my Arios Gundam, along with my slightly older Kyrios Gundam

The Arios (right) is the successor unit to the Kyrios (left)...i personally prefer the Kyrios

The Kyrios (left) and the Arios (right) both use the same GN drive, but whereas the Kyrios mounts the GN drive in the torso like all the other 3rd generation Gundams, the Arios mounts it between the legs in the groin area...its a mobile suit powered by its crotch... -_-;;;

i do like the Arios' hidden machine cannons, but the blade claw of the Kyrios was a helluva lot scarier
a better view there

The Arios' shoulder joint on the HG model is really weird...its designed the way it is for the transformation capability, but it totally restricts the movement of the arm...

again, i prefer the Kyrios' mobile armour mode

Despite the damaged leg from construction, i managed to transform the Arios into its Mobile Armour mode...

mimicing the Kyrios' claw, but the Arios amps it up in size. its only available in MA mode though

size comparison between the Arios and the Unicorn

Arios' MA mode is roughly the same size as my 1/100 MG Unicorn Gundam, which, considering the Unicorn is one of the biggest MGs i own, is pretty impressive!


and thats it for today. i have one more batch to show you guys, but i'll leave it till next time.


ciao!
