Don’t think it is too spoilerish, cause to anyone never reading it it would just be random Manga images. But if you have read to at least Vol 6 your not going to see anything new.
Now I am looking up this song from T-Rex
I’ve always loved this song by T-Rex, but I never knew the name of it. It’s now become one of my favorite songs! Nice post ;). I also really love “Get it on” (i’m sure you’ve heard this song) and “Telegram Sam” .
ALso did you see the trailer for this manga? Viz actually went out of their way to license this song for a manga trailer!! Now the trailer has been on all their anime releases from Nana to Monster, but still. Why would they do that lol? Feels like a waste of money. And I first saw it on their site, before it was even on any of their DVDs. It’s a great trailer tho! Give it a watch.
Also check out the live action movie trailer by Viz. Again they got the rights for the T Rex song. If only they tried this hard for anime song rights lol .
It’s scary how close the actors match their manga counterparts. However I still think this looks cheesey, corny, and fake. It’s not cutting edge like it should be. And it’s not edgy or dark enough. Looks like Godzilla.
Oh, Snap! Yeah I have seen some trailers for it, but did not know it was licensed. It does look a tad Made for TV for my liking as well. This however will not stop me from checking it out.
Yeah this was the biggest/most expensive film series ever made in Japan, and it still looks low budget. Which is a shame because the actors match their manga counter parts so well. I think whoever decided to turn this into a movie got it all wrong. There’s no way such a HUGE SCALE manga could be turned into a good 3 movies IMO. You’d need like 6 or 9 lol. This would be better suited for a an anime, or live action TV series., or mini-series or something.
Still despite being corny looking, I totally will buy this DVD. Viz licensed all three btw, first one is already out.
Also here’s a pic of the manga characters, next to their actors. it’s very small so it’s hard to see, but you can tell they did an AMAZING job with casting. I doubt they all can act though . Also slight spoilers for those who haven’t read the manga or seen the first movie.
I meant to quote this a long time ago. No offense, but I can’t believe anyone on the planet wouldn’t know that song by The Stones. How could you not know the name! Doh!
OMG everything is culminating to a showdown on 2000.
Vol 7
I wonder sometimes who was the guy in the mask? He tells Kenji it was not that friend he thought it was.
I find it funny that Kamesama is rich now. lol.
They are listening to 20th Century boy heading toward the robot! =D I got chills. I am not sure if this is his best work, or Monster is, but i love them both.
