Eeeeeeeee!!!

[telophase]

I have to tell you I am watching the MOST AWESOMETASTIC MOVIE EVAR!! I mean, I came into this thing expecting Cheese Factor Nine, and we have gone beyond Cheese Factor Nine, Ten, Eleven, and well into Cheese Factor Warp Hyperdrive!! I mean, everything about this movie is amazingly awesome in the most cheesetastic way ever.

A few clues about it:

-- it's available via Netflix
-- it's Japanese
-- there are martial arts
-- cheese factor aside, the cinematography is gorgeous
-- it has an amazingly stupid title that is somehow perfect
-- if this wasn't a manga before it was made, it damn well ought to have been! (Actually it's got more of a manhwa seinen-equivalent vibe, if you ask me)
-- so far, twenty minutes in, none of the characters has a name


Grabbing screencaps like mad. I cannot wait to recap this for y'all.

At the cosplay contest I judged last weekend, we handed out an award for "Least Offensive Use of the Caramelldansen."

Heeeeee! XD

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Death Trance, perhaps?

[telophase.livejournal.com]

You check my Netflix list? ;)

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Nope, it just sounds like it. I had great fun with it a while back.

IT IS DUMB!

BUT IT HAS MOTORCYCLES!

AND COFFIN GUY, WHO DRAGS A COFFIN THROUGH THE FOREST WITH A LITTLE GIRL RIDING IT!

AND MOHAWK GUY! THE ONLY PERSON EVER TO TAKE A GUN TO A SWORDFIGHT AND ACTUALLY KNOW HOW TO USE IT!

Oh, and Whiney Priest Guy, who randomly looks like another Emoboy we both know at the end.

*darn, I don't have my icons from it uploaded...*

THE MOTORCYCLE IS THE POINT AT WHICH I DECIDED I HAD TO OWN THIS MOVIE. IT IS CURRENTLY PAUSED THERE WHILE I BUY IT FROM AMAZON.


MORE PEOPLE MUST KNOW OF THE AWESOMETASTICNESS OF THIS MOVIE.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Ah, then you have not made it to Warrior Chick! Or the twins! (The twins are kinda freaky.)

IIRC, Mohawk Guy briefly gets his name mentioned. I don't think anyone else does. Maybe Whiney Priest Guy.

(I just looked at my post on it...apperently, I was trying to not scare people off with the crack or some silly thing...)

The director also has Versus, which is supposed to be better, but I was both bored and confused by the 20 minutes of that that I watched.

GIVE ME GUYS DRAGGING COFFINS WITH LITTLE GIRLS PERCHED ON THEM AND MOTORCYCLES IN PSEUDO-MEDIEVAL JAPAN!!!

[telophase.livejournal.com]

WARRIOR CHICK JUST SLASHED THE DOLL. THE TWINS HAVE BEEN SNEAKING AROUND.

PSEUDO-MEDIEVAL? NO!! THIS HAS TO BE POSTAPOCALYPTIC JAPAN!! THIS HAS TO BE JAPAN'S VERSION OF THE ROAD WARRIOR!!

Mohawk Guy is going to be forever Kuwabara (http://www.dragonwiles.com/SevenPicts/ReikaiTantei/Kuwabara.gif) for me.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

IT'S LIKE BASARA!!! IT'S POST-APOCALYPTIC JAPAN THAT LOOKS MEDIEVAL EXCEPT FOR THE TECH STUFF AND SUCH!!!

I LIKE WARRIOR CHICK!!! EVEN IF HER IDEAS ABOUT THE COFFIN ARE RATHER CONTRADICTORY!!!

Hmm...I do not know who Kuwabara is, but the images suit...

[telophase.livejournal.com]

You have not watched Yu Yu Hakusho?? The ultimate shonen series that's still admissible to watch in mixed company unlike Bastard!!? YOU MUST!!

It's also a manga, but I'm not sure if they've finished publishing the series over here or not. It's a long one.

ETA; I gave a quick summary of YYH to yhlee today here (http://telophase.livejournal.com/1245419.html?thread=11847147#t11847147).

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Hmm...I think you mentioned Yu Yu Hakusho when I was drooling over your manga shelves.

*wonders if she could possibly justify another new series and realizes that it doesn't matter*

[telophase.livejournal.com]

I never expected to love it as much as I do. :D

[dragonscholar.livejournal.com]

I take it thats the one? Because after I finish Wild Zero, I must see this.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

The one I've got at home right now? OH GOD YES.

[cerusee.livejournal.com]

Names are for pussies.

[dragonscholar.livejournal.com]

. . . do you need a cigarette.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

When this is over, I'll need a whole pack.

It JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

THEY ARE EASILY IDENTIFIED BY THEIR UNIQUE SHOUNEN HAIRSTYLES AND POSSESSIONS!!! THIS IS TRUE! I HAVE SEEN IT MORE THAN ONCE AND KNOW BUT ONE NAME, AND IT IS A TITLE!

[matildarose.livejournal.com]

You know, I would want to see the award for the most offensive use of the Caramelldansen. Like, dancing Hilters and Stalins.

I found myself suggesting a certain dictator from the 1970s, but my gut winced and I knew it was waaayyy too soon.

[cerusee.livejournal.com]

Dare I ask what it is?

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Sadly tame, actually.

Goddess of Destruction.

[ebony14.livejournal.com]

Versus is great fun. If it is more cracktastic than Versus, I will have to watch this.

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

I think the problem I had with Versus was that I just couldn't tell what was going on. The plot here is made of paper so thin you can see through it, but at least there was enough of it that I knew why they were fighting and chasing after the coffin.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

And it was the right choice. Plot would have just gotten in the way of the movie.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

Now adding it to my queue.

Edit: Never mind, it's there already. LOL.
