Well, those of you out there...you know who you are, are most likely Otaku Freaks. (For those of you in the dark, "Otaku" means "Obsession" in Japanese. Thus anime/manga freaks) Please don't take offense when I call you freaks, but I just spent the last 24 hours with one, and it's kinda annoying. All she ever talks about, all she ever watches, thinks, breathes, everything is anime/manga. Yes, I do DRAW manga, but I rarely read it, the most I've read is Knite (which isn't even published yet) and Naruto when I get the time. Although spending 24 hours with a freak wasn't ALL that bad...I did see three things I've been dying to see....
1) Final Fantasy Advent Children ---- Yes, I have seen it before, but it's hard to find in DVD format
Those of you who think that Final Fantasy is awesome...your wrong, it's cooler then awesome. The games have gone WAY over the border line of insaneness. I still remember when I played the very first game! I miss those little squares!
2) Saw Kiki's Delivery Service again
I hadn't seen this movie since I was like 5. It was so nice to see it again, (Even though some annoying person in the other room couldn't shut up through the whole movie) Love the story, and love the director! He's the best director in Japan!
3) Saw... Spirited Away
I had wanted to see this movie ever since it came out in 2001. But me and my busy life, never came around and watched it, till last night. Well, this morning I mean. (It was shockingly 2 1/2 hours long) That is by far Miyazaki's best film yet. It was just awesome. (It's on my new buying list)
So, no, I am NOT an otaku freak. I like very few anime movies. And only two-three mangas which I almost never read. Otaku Freaks.....You need a life. There's more things other then anime/manga. Take Star Trek for example. It's a lot more epic then The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Watch it, and Spock will change your life forever...
Live long, and prosper....
Spirited Away is absolutely amazing. I toyed with the idea of showing that in my film class. It's been a while since I've seen it; looks like I'll have to pop it in sometime this week.
