Stuff of Stuffnesses.
Jul. 4th, 2004 02:38 amSo, I finally got to watch Pocket Monsters Crystal: Raikou, Legend of Thunder.
And DAMN. I'm honestly in love with that little special. Kenta just absolutely rocks (I mean.... Typhie! ^^), and Marina's hillariously silly. Junichi is, as he always has been, a total pain in the arse, but i'll leave it at that.
The main attraction of the thing was Raikou, anyway. It was one of the most stunningly animated creatures in PokeMon yet. And he had quite a bit of character. Lots of emotions in the eyes, too. And they didn't use the stupid fainted-pokemon-swirly-eyes either (well, except for in the beginning, where Kenta's Typhie turned an enemy trainer's Hitmonlee into potato chips).
The dialogue was rather good, too (I watched a subbed version). And SINCE it was good, I don't even want to know how would have the dub handled it. It had its share of silly moments, right, but quite a few serious moments. And I honestly wanted to send those two rockets into outer space. Especially that white-freaky-haired-bish that looked way too much like a girl. Bashou indeed. x_x
But that's most of what I have to say on the subject. Except that i'm glad the damn thing finally downloaded and that finding it was a MAJOR pain. x_X
What seriously gets me about the anime sometimes is how it usually portrays Steel-types as evil, particularily Steelix. I almost feel sorry for that thing. The anime always seems to make it a sadistic god-moder, and don't even get me started on those stupid teeth it gave him. X_X
(Yes, Katie, I know you like the teeth, but I think they make him look like a generic overgrown dumb bully, and that's exactly the sort of thing that gave nifty PokeMon like Machoke and Exploud their bad reputations).
Aaaaaaaaaanyhow, Nothing much else happening, other from the fact I'm dangerouly short of pages in my notepad and I neglected to get a new one this weekend. I actually forgot to get ANYTHING this weekend. Which makes me wonder how I'll survive this week. x_X
Oh, and I did some more work on PokeMon Realms. What is it, you ask? Where can I see some screenshots, you ask? Your answer, young one (assumingly), is Right Here.
Grah... my weekend is ending... and in a few hours I'll have to go back to the base for another sodding week. -_-
And so much for this entry. Thankyou.
