Princess Mononoke

Hello Everyone, its rather late today and I just got back home from school. SUPEER long day on thursdays, lucky me I play music for 1,5 of those hours at least.

Yesterday I watched another movie of Hayao Miyazaki and you've probably all watched this one already, but if not, lucky you I'm writing about it todaaay :D Princess Mononoke is what I guess people call a classic and I understand it very well indeed. I've watched some of his movies and I must say I love all of them! Spirited Away is one of my favourite movies of all time. This one I did'nt think that highly of though since it's rather old (1997 maybe not..?) and I thought the quality if I found it online would be really bad. When I actually found it, it was dubbed aswell..(haaate dubbed anime!!!), however I just thought to myself that I have to endure it anyway and found out what everyone's talking about! Surprisingly enough the dub was'nt that bad :O Rather good I would even say it surprised me. If you've ever heard Sailor Moon dubbed.....you'll hate dubbed anime forever, but I guess Hayao Miyazaki gets good actors even in english since he's so good.

Princess Mononoke started very well and the story development is really interesting aswell. The creativity of Miyazaki's movies amaze me everytime, since everything is just so beautiful and colorfull and aah amazing! The music was REALLY good too! Like Hollywood fantasy movies or Harry Potter but asian and just EPIC xD the music made probably 20% of the movie. But the story is very good too since there is suspense aswell as the other stuff you love in movies and it's very unpredictable. One thing that was interesting is also that the maincharacter or really all the characters in the story, except maybe four or five are either good or bad, even if some have a better moral than others. That made the plot very interesting and confusing, since you never knew who to cheer for xD ( I always do that when I watch movies ) However you would always agree with the maincharacter Ashitaka, cause he's so pure and just good T__T

I LOVED the movie :D as much as I've loved the others. In comparison to for example Ponya this felt a bit like it was made to be watched by people with the age of... made thirteen and up, like Spirited Away I would say and I liked that. The whole movie is almost hand drawn :O WATCH IT and you'll realise how fucked up that feels. It's astonishing what they do in Japan o.O

12 O'Clock Bell Rings

Hello Everyone :D It's been awhile. A couple of days ago I just decided to read this one shot. It's got a cinderella theme and when I looked at the art it seemed nice so, why not? A oneshot takes like...2 minutes or so to read xD Well I read it and the ending creeped me out lol. Everything was normal until I got to the last page, it's hilarious. It's a cinderella story and I know that you all probably already know it by heart, but read it if you want a good laugh. It's written by Kishimoto Seishi.
Love Linda

Olimpos

Hello Everyone and Good Morning! Today I will make a short post cause I'm gonna watch Paranomoral Acitivty :O Wish my soul to be spared.

Olimpos is a manga written by a mangaka called Aki. It's a rather short manga I decided to read when I found a picture of the illustrations which I thought were really interesting. I started to read the manga and it was interesting aswell. Philosophical in a way and I read it through and through in a day. I like when you found different manga with a really unique plot, like this one. Well if you have a really strong like for old greek mythology, read it :D.
