[Guest greyhalo]

Thanks, Phee. I had no idea. I love the anime.

[Rev.Reverence]

...that is AWESOMENESS!

[Slept with ghost]

This is just one of a few animes being made into live action movies. Chances are though it will be good.

I was unsure... but that picture is worth a lot to my curiousity

So manga fantasy action-adventure movies I'll have to read some reviews.

The original Buffy... er I mean Saya: The Baddie Slayer (Blood: The Last Vampire) definetly looks awesome. The mixture of CGI, Cell Shading and especially the light & shadow work is quite striking. Despite shortcommings in the compelling story department, the pretty factor won many, many converts.

That clip there doesn't seem to use the noir batman-like style that was a trademark of the anime. But, it is only just one clip.

Saya is a wooden, flat character and the only character of note. If you go in for eye candy (and who doesn't) it is worth the 50 minutes. It was a short movie; easy to watch just for the visual fun even if you would normally glaze over watching the tale.

I think we are up to about the 10,000th anime / manga storyline with chipmunk voiced, nubile slutty-with-a-wink, teenage girl in schoolgirl outfit, working toward some secret revenge / save the universe agenda story. Hell we were up to that count 20 years ago. The criticism could be leveled at many genres, this one just strikes me as particularly specific and overused. Not that it won't be good (or that it might not make it into my spank bank...oops.) just something that has started to annoy me in the last 5-6 years.

The reason for making this one into a movie escapes me. There is nothing here that couldn't be done by any first year writing student. Making pretty movies is something Hollywood is expert at, no need to "copy" this.

I'm a manga/anime fan from before dirt was invented, not trying to knock anime.

I will never watch anything with the undead in it again. It's too cliched. Vampires, zombies, ghosts... fuck 'em all.

Well, Korea doesn't get Fox anyways, but if they did I would so totally tune into Fox and Friends. The snippets that The Daily Show plays seem hilarious.

had to remove last link on this i ended up having problems with the audio so my edit is to add this link instead its megavideo and there not that great but i try http://www.megavideo.com/?v=Z65LY99F

second edit to add there is this forum site i use called www.movieplex.org they link me to alot of the movies i watch and now they have a section were you can watch from there site but you have to have at least 50 posts to enter it. so if anyone wants to have my skills with having to find movies without downloading them and have it in good quality then sign up.

Thanks for the links. I was actually able to play it fine with that first one, used the alternate link that's on the same page and it loaded the second time. I enjoyed watching it, had to take a break for an hour to finish it up cause of the usual megavideo pause thing but it worked great.

I would love to see this one again on a really big screen.
