Maybe Teaming Up Might Be a Bad Thing After All

I don't know, if my head's going a bit crazy or something, but for some reason, I had this dream where I was in the Denliner (though in the Cafe carriage part, where Naomi serves coffee), feeling a bit blue, until I saw Jan (a.k.a GekiRed) from GekiRanger having a nice chat with...Ryutaros in Ryo-possessed mode (a.k.a. that purple crazy and somehow artistic bloke) from Kamen Rider Den-O and that Green Emo Ranger from Mighty Moshin' Emo Rangers. Only, it wasn't such a nice chat, but these three crazy, but cool blokes were on high on crack and then causing not only in the Denliner, but somewhere in Japan and England too. O_O' Er, yeah. I always imagine those three would somehow team up and instead of saving the world, they causing mass destruction to the buildings while fighting monsters and then shock (and horrify) the remaing cast from the three series (okay, the MMERs are not really bothered about it, but come on) when finding out after slashing monsters and saving the world, they actually find these three smoking crack and weed in one room. Hmm, I would like to see this, but I doubt it...

When Latex in Japan isn't just enough

Well, Japan is famous for having the Kamen Rider series, as well as Super Sentai series (and GARO, of course ^_^), Thailand has got Sport Ranger and Crystal Knight, America has the most terrible thing in the world that is known as Power Rangers, France has that tonkatsu, to which I forgot the title again, and yes, even Britain has one (in the shape of Doctor Who, but come on! When the Doctor regenerates, that's called 'henshin', right? Oh, so some people think I'm mad enough to say that). And now, get ready to meet South Korea's version of their tonkatsu - Erexion. I'm not sure why this is very different to the Super Sentai series, but so far, it looks very impressive and the villains look so cool, they make the villains in the Super Sentai series green in envy. And let's not forget the cool opening song for Erexion - simply saying it's better than the Super Sentai series (I like the opening song to Super Sentai series; the only problem is that I don't like Boukenger's opening, so don't say 'BOO! YOU'RE NOT A TRUE SUPER SENTAI FAN!'). The only complaint that I'm griped about this, is that that the colour scheme is a little too bright for the show. I've seen a few clips of the show, so I'm pretty excited when it gets fansubbed. In the meantime, you can visit Erexion's site here.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm going to draw some sketches on the novel, on the homage to the tonkatsu shows in the world (except for the new Power Rangers shows from 2000 - present, i.e. America).

When imaging Sentai and Manga become Weird

Just yesterday, I just watched over a half of that dark live-action Tokusatsu Japanese show, GARO and it was some sort amazing to my brain on how I can compare easily on the main character to another character from a manga.

GARO's Kouga Saejima is a bit like World Embryo's Takao, only with a few minor differences in terms of their goals and appearances. But they draw some amazing parallels between them:

• Both of them are cold-hearted and emotionless on the outside, but on the inside, they have a heart of a nobleman.
• Both of them wore light-coloured coats (though slightly different in their colour) to show their badass side.

Come to think of it, the more I think about these two, the more I want to explore Takao's past, as well as exploring Kouga's relationship with the female lead, Kaoru Mitsuki. It's strange to compare a live-action character to a character that only exists on paper, but it is very interesting to find out there some similarities.

Great, now I've been infected to read World Embryo again!

Quote of the moment - "EH?! You say that Gundam Musou exists?!" - Me in shock, when finding out that Koei and Namco Bandai announced they'll be releasing Gundam Musou. It's like Dynasty Warriors characters playing too much with Gundam models.
