Space Battleship Yamato live-action trailer

Trailer arrives for anime adaptation Space Battleship Yamato - Den of Geek

That looks SWEET!! Can’t wait to see this!  My only problem is that the ages of the leads don’t look right. In the original series everyone looks early 20s. That’s what makes Kodai’s character arch so ironic—if he’s in his 30s, it’s OK, but not as interesting.  Ah well.
And I don’t get people who criticize the adaption of the costumes to live-action—I don’t think the body-hugging (OK, they hugged Yuki) jumpsuits from the series would look very good in real life—unless you think the costumes look great on Power Rangers. >_<

This Blade Runner tribute video (not what it sounds) made my eyes well up for some reason.

20th Century Boys

20世紀少年

昨晩、何か分からない理由で寝られなかったので、この映画を見た。思ったより本当にいい映画ですよ!めっちゃ楽しかったんです。見たことがなければ、勧めます!ここで見えます。

20th Century Boys

Last night, for some reason, I couldn’t sleep so I ended up watching this film. It was so much better than I thought it was going to be! Really good fun. I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet. Watch it here.

Thanks for the link! I love the manga, haven’t watched the movie yet. I can’t wait!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first two of the 20th Century Boys movies, but the 3rd left me a little flat.  It was still a lot of fun, and worth watching, but it didn’t quite live up to the rest of the trilogy.  Ironically, I want to read the manga to see if it ends the same way.

Incidentally, the icon above is one of my favorite icons of all time—second only to the Laughing Man Logo from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.  I love iconography that clearly has a meaning to it, without that meaning being apparent.  The Tomodachi Mark (above) looks very distinct, but what does it mean?!?!  You’ll have to watch the movies or read the manga to find out!!
