Foggy the Vaporeon

So I was browsing uploads from the Jim Henson group on deviantart, when I found a pic about some guy named Mr. Hooper... wtf?

So I looked it up.

Oh, no. This is going on the record for hyper-emotional-speed-weeping...
I blame my extreme weakness for Big Bird and Sesame Street.

Trinity Blood: I pretty much read this because the main character is so much like Vash the Stampede. Lemme tell ya, the manga is better. I'm hooked.

The biggest benefits is that you can see a little more detail in facial expressions and eyes, which makes a big difference for deadly vampire staredowns. The fine linework just can't be replicated for anime. I even find Esther and her reaction shots to be endearing, something the anime didn't achieve.
Also, you can't hear screaming, which was a big setback for the anime. Both Esther and the little vampire prince were just full of fail.

Biggest improvement: When the main character goes into uber-mode, with the floating hair and the glowing (basically a Vampire Super-Saiyan) it works in the comic-medium. Whereas in the anime for whatever reason (budget?) they chose not to put any movement in the hair, so it ended up looking like a stiff, awkward Marge-Simpson-like updo.

Downside: I cannot tell anything that is going on in any of the action scenes. So that makes it exactly like the Trigun manga. Maybe even a little worse.

Overall: I really realllllly hope that Cain and Esther hook up. Seriously you don't even know.

I think I'll vote Democrat from now on, just out of principle.

How to Train Your Dragon: I'm pretty sure that the main character's mother was killed by a dragon. It's at least strongly implied. And it makes total sense, since that would explain why his father can't accept his actions, and only accepts revenge as a solution.

As much as I enjoy homestuck, I find this latest exposition dump to be a little too heavy-handed.

Actually I had trouble seeing what the teachers were doing as much more than normal. Maybe I had bad teachers?

Well, towards the end the parts where they were calling an autistic child a bastard and telling him things to make him cry is definitely out of line, for sure.

It's not clearly explained why Twilight Sparkle and her friends are the only ones who can use the elements of harmony. Twilight tries to ask the Princess why she can't use the elements anymore and she's like "uh, I just can't".

I just assumed that it's because the elements of harmony require a group of best friends. And all of the Princess' besties died from old age years ago. And now she's too famous and powerful and has too many responsibilities to ever make friends again. Not besties anyway.

I'm totally going to finish my previous post, I just was wanted to say GOD TIER GAMZEE I JUST LOST MY MIND


edit:

GAMZEE WHAT DID YOU JUST DO???

Once upon a time I was randomly flipping channels, I saw the most disturbing movie ever. At first I was a little shocked but put it out of my mind.

As the years went on though, I realized that I had seen that which could not be unseen. The movie was just so in-your-face, screaming for attention, that I couldn't let go. Puzzling, and confusing.... well-made, charming at first... yet ever so horrible.... it just kept ringing through my mind. I have to get it out. I'm putting it down here.

This movie... has turned me into an apologist. I take back every thing I ever, ever said about Twilight.

I'm worried about describing the movie, it's old and I want it to stay forgotten. But there's only like three people that read my LJ, so it probably won't matter. So reading on is totally optional.


( Don't read this right before bed. )

For some reason I really think that Tezeri is plus sized. I know I should be imagining Vriska to be the husky one, but I don't!

There's this girl in my grad course (who is plus sized) and I'm thinking, 'aw what a great Tezeri she would be'! WTF self, stop imposing cosplay on strangers!
