#amano's art is just so stylish

WORD WITH YOUR TAGS BTW I’d take absolutely anything but if it was at all possible I’d love as many seiyuu’s recasted as possible. if they’ve retired or don’t want to them I’d (begrudgingly) accept new VA’s, of course!! but god I can only dream that we could get as many as possible back on board. I just know the one they could not replace (but wouldn’t have to) is Reborn. I’ve seen problems around Chrome’s VA; she was the VA of a Bandori character (Gacha rhythm game) and she had to step back from her role for health reasons (I don’t recall what they are but also she had to play an instrument at physical concerts so she was exerting a lot of energy for the role). I just wanna cling on to as many as possible for nostalgia reasons tbh skdnckcjdj. and you’re right ahhh Hayato’s voice is, I feel, a very core aspect of his character. so I’d hope if they had to replace him, they were super picky about who they choose to properly pull him off. tbh I think the voices of all the characters are very important to them!! ahh I’m rambling my bad but skndkcjc

i'm also hanging on for nostalgia reasons akjsakd i think we all are. i've watched the anime so many times i just can't imagine gokudera's "J U U D A I M E" sounding any different. his voice is so characteristic and recognizable, i link it so much to who gokudera is as a character that it pains me so much to know he most likely could get a new va in the reboot. i can't even imagine who they would cast (granted i'm not into newer anime so) but gokudera in the og anime had his silly moments, and his serious/angry moments, and his voice actor nailed those emotions in him and i just--love him a lot and i wish they can cast someone great for the role. like, if they have to recast the main namimori trio, i can only hope they do the kids right.

the only one that's non-negotiable for me is reborn. reborn and neeko in the role are like, the heart and soul of the khr anime. everyone else--yeah i would be upset but i could live with it.

ESPECIALLY BC most reborn characters have a catchphrase, a running gag, or something they are known for--like gokudera's 10th, yamamoto's laugh, squalo's V O I, lambo's gotta stay calm, mukuro's laugh, hibari's i'll bite you to death--it just goes on and on and on. i feel like any va they choose it's gotta be someone who holds a candle to the original anime. say whatever you want about og khr, but the one thing they got right was the voice acting imo

anygays i'm rambling too askdjal point is, if there is one, i want the khr reboot to be treated with love and attention.

Persona 25th Anniversary: Maya

Here is some fun little 25th anniversary art of the Protags as I imagine them to be around the Persona 5 time-line. (Since they're all in the same universe.)

🗣Headcannon: Maya would just continue her calling as a reporter in my head. Being one of the rarer Adult Protagonists, I feel like I couldn't change too much in her.

Being almost 40 myself, I figured she'd be fashion forward but marry being stylish & comfortable. I looked up the fashion in 2016 and Japan was doing lots of oversized clothes for men and women and I feel like it was a perfect professional style with the right accessories and touches. She was in her 20s and didn't have piercings so I decided to still keep her that way since as adult, it was a conscious choice. I transplanted her signature hearts into her purse & high waisted belt as a reminder of her key motto: Think positive!

Persona 1: Naoya Toudou:

Persona 2: Tatsuya Suou

Persona 2: Maya Amano

Persona 3: Makoto Yuki/Minato Arisato

Persona 3: Kotone Shiomi/Minako Arisato

Persona 4: Yu Narukami

Persona 5: Ren Amamiya/Akira Kurusu

✨️25th Final Art✨️

💖BONUS ART: Ren/Akira 2024

Happy 25th!

do it

OK fine.  Why FF6 Is Best FF: 

First we got the involvement of Yoshitaka Amano, who imparted the visual proceedings with an air of melancholy stylishness that trickled down and permeated the whole vibe.  The developers looked at his concept sketches and asked Uematsu “can you do RPG music but it’s, like, weary jazz?”  Turns out he could, and everyone else followed his lead, and I don’t think the FF aesthetic will ever get more interesting than that.  It’s a game where the dungeons include “haunted private art collection”, “traumatized soldier’s nightmare of modernity” and “rafters of opera house during actual opera” - it’s clear they were shooting for Capital A Art here and everyone involved knew it.

It’s also the biggest feeling video game I have ever played, which is partially a function of how old I was when I played it, but I have this distinct memory of arriving at the end of the World of Balance arc and being sure that the game was over and then discovering there was a whole nother world to explore... I don’t know if I’ll ever get that feeling from a game again.  “Oh, this random forest I have no reason to explore is full of dinosaurs, that’s interesting” - “oh, I have to allow myself to be eaten by this one enemy on an island in the middle of nowhere to unlock this hidden character” - that kind of thing.  It has the knack of vastness, abetted by the knack of unfolding slowly so the vastness isn’t an intimidating turnoff.  The player’s path starts linear and becomes more and more open until there are so many nooks and crannies that even once the community squeezed it completely dry (which took years) the feeling that hidden corners of the world remain persisted.

Six is also one of two Final Fantasy games to date with a female main character, and when I think about the immediate aesthetic antipathy I have for the latter games in the series that plays a big part.  I am not interested in the latest adventure of Large Sword Lad with his hair like a majestic bird.  I don’t care which of his love interests will die tragically.  I am here for Terra and Celes; I’m here for their arcs, which reckon with whether their power and their femininity contradict each other, and which both conclude that the answer is a resounding no.  Terra the faltering amnesiac runs from the monster she finds within herself but realizes that that terrifying strength is the key to protecting the people she loves.  Celes the emotional cripple finds her heart by nursing an old man through his illness and then picks up her sword and puts the world back together, piece by fucking piece.  The way love saves them both but in different ways and on their own terms… it’s choice. It’s advanced.

And… yes, OK, Kefka’s an evil clown, and everyone kind of knew how lame that was even before Jared Leto got involved, but hear me out – he’s a) an evil clown who’s an actual clown, in that he has none of the scary dignity that made the Heath Ledger/Alan Moore Joker archetype catnip to edgelords everywhere, but continually takes pratfalls and makes fart jokes even while he’s murdering people, and b) an evil clown who’s a general in the imperial army.  Gestahl looked at this louche buffoon in makeup and he was like “yes, this seems like officer material”, because Kefka had The Magic and that was pretty much the sole criterion for inclusion in the upper ranks.  This is both a good joke and the sneaky key to the game’s moral heft.  FF6’s thesis statement is that power is only meaningful if it’s used for the sake of others, which isn’t particularly groundbreaking, but Kefka is a fantastic caricature of the opposing viewpoint.  Kefka is everyone who thinks that his intelligence and talent make him exempt from treating other people decently, and the empire is every power structure that enables people like that – the university, the corporation, the bureaucratic state.  

Finally there’s the sketch exploit, the metajoke that the little girl with the paintbrush is the one character powerful enough to break the entire game, which is just so beautifully congruent with what the narrative has to say about art and gender that it’s tempting to read it as an intentional gesture.  And why not?  The developer is dead; bugs are text.  A game which manages to tell its story through mechanical elements even in the speedrun is a once in a generation achievement.

Best Anime Movies To Watch – OtakuKart

Best Anime Movies To Watch – OtakuKart

Looking for some Marvelous Anime movie? I have got you some astonishing hand-picked collection of the movie. Here is a list of  Top 10 Best Anime Movies You Must Watch.So without any further delay let’s start with our Top 10 Anime Movie List

Top 10 Best Anime Movies Of All Time

Patlabor: The Movie (1989)

Many of the films on this list are here because they’re landmark films for their directors, or that they move the art form of Japanese animation forward in meaningful ways. Patlabor is just a good-ass movie made by a bunch of talented people, including future Ghost in the Shell collaborators Mamoru Oshii and I.G Tatsunoko (the early name for the production company that would become Production I.G). Set in the distant future of 1999, Patlabor’s hardboiled sci-fi police procedural explores the connection between humanity and technology, and how we approach law enforcement in an age of automation. Also, this list would otherwise be sorely lacking in giant mech movies – this film has them in spades, and they fight a bunch. It’s pretty cool.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2006)

Studio Ghibli commissioned director Mamoru Hosoda to make Howl’s Moving Castle, but sent him packing after rejecting his initial concepts. Hosoda then turned around and directed The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, an abounding and inventive dramedy that’s as entertaining as it is thought-provoking. Based on a novel by Yasutaka Tsutsui, the film follows high schooler Makoto Konno as she learns that she has the power to quite literally leap through time. First, she uses these powers to get good grades, but she quickly learns that her actions have consequences. It’s a wildly imaginative slice of life and marked the emergence of an important voice in animated films.

Your Name (2016)

Since the release of his first short film Voices of a Distant Star (which he wrote, directed, and animated by himself over seven months), Makoto Shinkai has been described by multiple critics as the next Hayao Miyazaki. With his most recent film Your Name. (yes, the period is part of the title), Shinkai finally steps out steps out of the shadows of the greats and finds his own voice. To describe it as a mere body-swapping film does it a great disservice, as it finds the humor and humanity in a situation where two young high schoolers find themselves in each others shoes and desperately want to find each other. But then, Shinkai pulls the rug out from under you halfway through and Your Name. turns into a different kind of film entirely.

Vampire Hunter D (1985)

Vampire Hunter D is often credited as being one of the first anime films specifically targeted for an older audience, and its success paved the way for many of the films on this list. It’s a slow, haunting burn that follows the titular, monosyllabic vampire hunter as he aids and protects a young woman from a demonic menace. Featuring the brooding character design of none other than Final Fantasy concept artist Yoshitaka Amano, Vampire Hunter D is the dark glimpse into the maturation of anime as a genuine theatrical art form.

Ninja Scroll (1993)

If Akira and Ghost in the Shell were the opening salvos for anime’s initial resurgence in the West as more than Saturday morning fodder, Ninja Scroll was the knockout punch. Releasing in the West around the same time as Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll is a stylish, hyper-violent flurry of over-the-top battles and geysers of blood. Ex-ninja Jubei is coerced under threat of death by a Tokugawa spy to hunt down and defeat the Eight Devils of Kimon, each one with its own mystical set of powers. In an hour and a half, Jubei fights a dude whose skin can turn into stone, a naked snake lady, a guy who can melt into shadows, and a woman who plants gunpowder in people’s bodies and uses them as living time bombs.

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984)

Studio Ghibli is perhaps second only to Disney in terms of cultural relevance and worldwide recognition in animation, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is where it all started. It follows the eponymous young woman as she navigates a post-apocalyptic future where venturing outside small population centers means having to contend with giant insects and a deadly miasma. Here, you will see many of Ghibli���s themes on humanity, community, mortality, and environmentalism converge, accompanied by lush hand-drawn animation and swashbuckling action.

Perfect Blue (1997)

After working as an animator on other films, Satoshi Kon made his explosive directorial debut with Perfect Blue. It’s about a J-Pop idol who leaves behind a music career to pursue acting, and the further she dives into the role, the more reality and fiction begin to blur together. Kon’s signature style seems to spring forth fully realized from the first frame, his unique take on magical realism ensuring you never see the seams until he wants you to. Kon’s career was cut short due to pancreatic cancer, but his influence can be seen everywhere, including Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan and Christopher Nolan’s Inception.

Ghost in the Shell (1995)

Oshii’s adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s seminal graphic novel series is simultaneously one of the most influential and enigmatic anime films ever made. There’s definitely a plot here, as a team of armored police officers leads by Major Motoko Kusanagi attempt to hunt down a mysterious hacker known as the Puppet Master, but Ghost in the Shell is far more concerned with exploring the philosophical ramifications of its transhumanist themes than it is providing any sort of narrative payoff. It’s a strange one to watch, packing a lot of information and world-building into its brisk 82-minute runtime, but its length and structure allow for repeat viewings that are as rewarding as the first.

Spirited Away (2001)

If you want a good snapshot of Studio Ghibli’s history, first watch Nausicaa, then watch this one. Here is Miyazaki at the height of his craft, using advancements in animation technology to enhance but not overpower an Alice in a Wonderland-esque story filled to the brim with strange creatures and imaginative scenarios. It’s a coming of age story about a young girl who finds herself lost in a bathhouse for the spirits, interacting with an assortment of fantastical creatures as she attempts to rescue her parents. That Miyazaki still explores the consequences of the convergence of nature and technology shows how timeless and important these themes are.

Akira (1988)

Akira is a powerhouse of a film, every frame of animation exploding off the screen with kinetic energy and effortless style. It’s based off the first half of Otomo’s massive graphic novel series of the same name (the second half created after the film was completed, explaining the wild divergence in plotlines), following a group of delinquent teenagers in Neo-Tokyo decades after the end of World War 3. One of these boys, named Tetsuo, is abducted by a secretive government unit and experimented on, awakening his latent psychic abilities which quickly spiral out of control. What follows is a strange, gut-wrenching landmark of science-fiction, filled with rad bikes and an absurd amount of destruction.
