Forgot to mention in
our other posts, that we ~A and I have other social media accounts where we
literally just post random stuff we like to fangirl about ;) So if you want to
follow them and see just how weird and Fangirling we are, go follow them. I'll
link them below. :)
1.You are ready at anytime to have a heated debate on why
your fandom is the best and why a hater should really be loving it.
2.You basically have a shrine in your room full of
merchandise of the fandom you love ❤️ (mostly hardcore fangirls though, see: Different types of
Fangirl).
3.Whenever you see an ad for their movie/ the book trailer/
or their new music video you don't skip it, you do a little happy dance, smile
and/or scream, steal, giggle and shout (You're Fangirling).
4.No matter how shitty/ bad the fanfic you're reading is, if
it's about your fandom or your OTP you have an obsession with it and you just can't
put it down. Plus you just have to befriend the author because they just get
you and your love of your fandom.
5.You want your own fandom related tattoo (once your old
enough or your parents allow you that
is, personally I want an angelic rune or a fearless rune) and you know every
tattoo, piercing etc. that your favourite character/ band member/ actor/ singer
etc. has.
6.You happy cry whenever someone gives you something or
anything related to your fandom, like a limited edition book cover or a sound
track or t-shirt…
7.You know absolutely everything about your fandom and love
it when people ask you about it so you can just talk and talk and talk about
it, until you run out of things to say. (Which usually takes a while) 😉
Hope you Enjoyed this. And I hope you can tell if your a fangirl now 😉
Fifteen-year-old
Clary Fray, your average artsy teenage girl with her gamer/comic geek best
friend Simon Lewis goes to the club Pandemonium. Inside, she sees a blue haired
boy and a beautiful raven haired girl heading for the stored room with two boys
following undetected behind them armed with what appears to be a knife. No one
else seems to see them so she gets Simon to go get help while she follows them.
She listens to a bizarre conversation about demons and watches the blue haired
'boy' being killed and suddenly vanishes. Clary being an artsy girl likes to
draw and she can't seem to get a symbol out of her head, later she finds out
that the people she saw in Pandemonium and the symbol are connected when she
sees it again but on the blonde haired boy she saw with the knife. She then
gets a frightening phone call from her mother and is sucked into a world where
every fantasy story she read and every nightmare she's had is real…
(Same
summary from The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones book review)
Review:
When I first
watched this movie, I thought it was really good, but I had yet to read the
books. Watching the movie was actually the reason I started reading the books
because I wanted to know what happened next. It wasn't until I read the books
that I realised how badly the movie was put together. They put spoilers for the
rest of the books, like things that shouldn't have been released until the
second or third book into the movie even though the movie was only supposed to
be about the first book. There was also so much that happened in the books that
they changed or that (in my opinion) was important that they just didn't put
into the movie. Then there were parts that weren't even part of the book that
were added in when they weren't needed. I do think that the actors that played each part fit the roles perfectly and some of the scenes where good (not all of them though), but even though I personally love the Mortal Instruments
series and Cassandra Clare is my all time favourite author but the movie
doesn't do the book any justice. If I hadn't read the books I would think the
movie was good but I have read the books.
So to sum up
this review I would rate this movie 2 stars. ««
Kana Hanazawa as Hadaly Lilith (I squealed when I found out
Lilith was going to be in this. Like what?!?)
Plot
Shisha No
Teikoku is set in the 19th century. Humans have discovered how to
bring back the dead to “Frankenstein” corpses. These corpses are a vital part in
the agricultural development, they work as labourers and even go fighting in
war.
We are
greeted by a Sherlock Holmes’ character, John Watson, who by the start of the
movie is still not acquainted with the famous detective. John starts off by
himself in his office with body of his friend on an experiment chair. He
succeeds in turning him into a moving corpse but his friend, Friday, is still
not considered to be alive as he lacks an important part, the soul.
The movie
features many classical literature such as Sherlock Holmes, Mary Shelley’s
Frankenstein, Dostoyevsky’s The Brother Karamazov and Auguste Villiers de l’Isle-Adam’s
The Future Eve (a personal favourite of mine.) There are also appearances of
influential people such as Thomas Edison and British Army officer, Colonel
Burnaby.
Review
The movie
is action packed and the plot is very interesting with a moderate pace. If you
like zombie movies then I think you might like this. It’s not your typical
zombie movie and definitely unique in its respective genre.
Art-wise,
it is beautifully drawn and the producers definitely put a lot of effort into
making the movie as attractive as it can possibly get. For example; the
background and landscapes are very well done and the way the characters’ eyes
shine brings characteristic and life and how dull the eyes of the corpses’ are
that also defines another characteristic of death and numbness.
Because it
is an animation, of course it has to have voice actors. I was quite pleased
with the cast for the movie. Hosoya-san is
a very talented voice actor, along with Hanazawa-san.
Hosoya also
plays Haruto Kirishima in Kimi no Iru Machi and Nezumi from No.6.
Hanazawa is
best known as Tsukimi from Kuragehime and Shiemi from Ao no Exorcist.
As far as I
know it has only been released in Japanese. I don’t know of any English dub
projects for Shisha No Teikoku.
I would recommend
this to those who liked Attack On Titan, just because the two are from the same
studio (Wit Studio.) Any zombie fanatics out there should definitely hop on
this adventure too! And if you like something that will boggle your mind then,
yes this anime is for you.
Rating:
7.5/10 I was very satisfied after I watched it but I wanted to know more
especially with that ending. I might just pick up the novel.
