old skool anime

[cornerofmadness]

with this meme thing, I ended up talking about some of the old anime I used to like. Gatchaman came up. I did forget to mention, chaos_by_design that they redid Gatch in the late 90's/early 2000's. It wasn't bad, wasn't great. I have it on vhs somewhere. Then tonight a friend sent me this. Gatchaman. It looks interesting but 100% cgi-ed stuff seems so...soulless to me. I don't know how i feel about this.



7. Character you have most in common with – Izumi Curtis



What can I say? We both teach, we both have horrible tempers and we're both pretty scary when we set our minds to it. If I lost weight I would even look a little like her which brings me to...

8. Character you look like the most – Chris Mustang



Sad but true. Oh I'm not as wrinkled, yet but Chris has some age on me. Still, I like to think of her as an aging Mae West with a lot of guile and intelligence so I'm good with that.

Hahaha, yay Izumi! I'm loving this meme, it's fun to see what everybody picks.

I really wanted to be RIza and my friends laughed and said there is only one you're like

[a-big-apple.livejournal.com]

Lol. Though Riza and Izumi aren't really that dissimilar.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no though Riza has much better temper control (or Roy and Havoc would long be dead)

[a-big-apple.livejournal.com]

True! I'd love to be a fly on the wall listening to Riza and Izumi chat in a bar or something.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I haven't quite written that yet but hey if i ever get back to my 'roy and izumi are siblings verse'

[a-big-apple.livejournal.com]

Ooh, yeah!!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it could happen

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting to pass muster on the Gatchaman movie. I'm excited though.

Now, the question will be, will it even make it to the States? The company is...Canadian, I think, doing a Japanese film....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well we got their astroboy

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

And their Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

didn't that bomb too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'd have no idea. I never paid attention to TMNT when they were popular, sooooo.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i think it did bomb

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

IIRC, the animation wasn't bad, though.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's probably true

[enemytosleep]

Yeah, you and Izumi share a lot of traits.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes and that's probably not a good thing
