7 movies 7 tags (stolen from @/clannfearrunt)

What better opportunity to talk about movies whereupon I always got to show it to people who'd never even heard of 'em!

Ultraman: the Adventure Begins (1987): did you know there's a Hanna-Barbera animated adaptation of Ultraman? well now you do, and it's still cheesy, but now it's American cheese. to this day, I must say the name Susan in a sinister voice and point (also sinisterly).

Hanuman and 7 Ultramen (1974): did you know there was also a Thai production of Ultraman? no joke, this was where I'd first heard of Hanuman, but I didn't get all the hindu promo because I had the Japanese-dubbed cut on VHS as a child, which had a label in English but no subtitles that I can recall (I might not have even been old enough to read yet anyway) and I have no idea where my birthparents even found it. I don't remember there being any box art for it, in fact, idk if it even had a case. anyway, it's another a cheesy movie even more continuity errors, but as an adult it's another fun one to laugh at with friends.

Mermaid Forest (1991): okay, now let's switch gears from good old monster fun to some grimdark monster horror, because god. I developed a taste for blood at a very early age. it's based on the manga by Takahashi Rumiko (of Inu Yasha fame), with a soundtrack by Kawai Kenji, and it revolves around the tale of eating mermaids for immortality... but with a catch. the odds are against you, as most eaters either are poisoned by it or turned into unaging monsters. what can go wrong!

Mermaid's Scar (1993): another Rumik World OVA, look at that! but Scar a different adaptation of a different chapter. Mermaid Forest is still my favorite between these two, but I can't introduce one without mentioning the other, and they're both great for the Halloween or Obon seasons.

WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3 (2002): okay, this one scratches an itch specific enough that if I had to pick one, it's possibly my favorite movie. yes, this is technically the third movie of an anime about utility mecha (called labors), but you don't need to have watched the series to watch this movie. I especially recommend going in blind the first time, no spoilers, ideally on a rainy day in the dark; but in every rewatch afterward you'll notice more and more hints and details. of course, if you do watch, content warning, WXIII (Wasted 13) is a crime drama, so prepare for a suicide near the end of this movie, too.

the Others (2001): is it time to dial it back a bit? well, how about a ghost story about a widow, her photosensitive children, their new housekeepers and the recent intruders. it's been a while, so idk if I still could, but I used to be able to recite this whole movie's script if I wanted to. another one for the spooky seasons, goes great with blackouts and thick fog.

Origin: Spirits of the Past, aka Giniro no Kami no Agito (2006): I'll finish with one more animated movie-- produced by the same studio as for Last Exile, if you like steampunk, but this one's more solarpunk. suspension of disbelief and all that, watching Origin is more about the vibes, okay? the opening is serenaded by Kokia while dragons made of trees hatch from the moon and enter Earth's atmosphere. and it's beautiful. peak grass-touching propaganda, no notes. don't ask about the volcano.

I made this Lamu a lot time ago as a Color Palette Commission. The colors were a strong pink and a lot of blu hues with a Naples Yellow color. This is what came around. The one I posted back then is the first one, but I show you noe more variables of this!

Anyone seen Fire Tripper? It was made by Rumiko Takahashi.

It came before InuYasha and is a lot like it.

There's time traveling back in forth from Feudal Japan to Modern Era. The boy Shu was brought in with her family and the girl was sent back in time with him where he thinks that's his little sister. Then as she's older she's back in time once more, he wants to make her his wife then realizes she must be his little sister. But she says they aren't because they are not related by blood. They get married. Pretty much an InuKag/SessRin pairing.

He even calls his appendicitis - His "apple citus"

It's a really good movie.

If you love Inuyasha, you should watch Rumic World! It came before Inuyasha, it's created by Rumiko too, and there are similarities! I just watched it for the first time.

After reading fire tripper and mermaid saga, I'm now convinced that all of Rumiko Takahashi's works are in the same world and are related to each other in some way, shape, or form.

Rumik World: Mermaid Forest by Takaya Mizutani, 1991

I watched Fire Tripper along with the other two "Rumik World" OVAs a couple of weeks ago. Personally felt Maris the Choujo was the weak link but Fire Tripper and Laughing Target were both really good. Fire Tripper has a unique concept whose resolution genuinely caught me by surprise and Laughing Target was probably the most scared I've felt for fictional characters in a long time, genuinely couldn't tell if they would make it out alive.

I like all three! They definitely highlight Takahashi’s strong points: action (with a dash of romance), comedy and horror. I was obsessed with Fire Tripper as a kid (Suzuko actually inspired my love of the classic sailor uniform lol) but if I were going to rank them now, it’d probably be at the bottom with Maris in the middle and Laughing Target on top. There are some scenes from that OVA I’ll never forget.

Lo que conocimos en español como la saga de la sirena, es la primera gran obra de la mangaka Rumiko Takahashi, iniciando su publicación en el año 1984 en la revista Shogakukan y dividido en 3 partes: el bosque de la sirena, la cicatriz de la sirena  y la mirada de la sirena, nos narra la leyenda que quien coma carne de sirena se volverá inmortal. Pero esto es sólo una verdad a medias. De hecho, las fatalidades que una persona ha de enfrentar para ganar esta inmortalidad merman las posibilidades con creces, muchos de quienes comen la carne mueren o se vuelven criaturas macabras conocidas como Almas Perdidas. Con esta obra nos remitimos a las primeras épocas de nuestra querida mangaka, y fuera de japon la conocimos muchos años despues cuando se publicaron a nivel mundial todas las historias cortas en el gran formato de Rumik World, y con ella se animo la historia en una serie de tv de 13 episodios y 2 Ovas, y encargando cada entrega a un estudio diferente.

Today, May 8, Rumiko Takahashi’s new story ”Mao” began in Shonen Sunday. A new Rumik world began🎊🎉🎈🎂㊗️

I found some similarities to InuYasha.

Similarity 1 : the current world and another world

Nanoka (heroine) goes to another world, which looks like the Meiji era (1868 to 1912 AD) in Japan. (Pic3)

Similarity 2 : the heroines are the third year of junior high school. (Pic4)

Similarity 3 : the heroines are attacked by demons in the first episode.

She is attacked by a giant mantis-like demon. (Pic 5)

Similarity 4 : the heroines are saved by non-human protagonists.

The protagonist’s name is Mao 摩緒 and he cut the monster into pieces (Pic 6)

Similarity 5 : the protagonists have small kid followers. (Pic 7) In this story, his name is unknown.

Similarity 6 : in another world, demons (ayakashi) exist. (Pic 8 )

Similarity 7 : the heroines are mainly taken care of by their grandfathers. (Pic 9)
