About Fullmetal Alchemist It
remade for an animation which based on an original which was written by
Arakawa Hiromu, and was published in the monthly "少年ガンガン" of
Square-Enix. The origin was published since 2001, it received lots of
responses at that time, because of solid creation, huge world, and
inhalant plot, so sales volume of the magazine was getting improved. It
has won "49t Shogakukan Manga" in 2004, it was on air from Dec, 2003
to Dec, next year on TBS, MBS by 51 episode. And Fullmetal Alchemist
the movie was released in July, 2005.
< I would say that It's awesome! Fullmetal Alchemist. >
This
is about, Alphonse who was sealed his soul in an armor, and Edward who
takes a trip to find Philosopher's Stone with him. It shows sometimes
comically, sometimes seriously, however in the last part, the plot is
different from the origin, so it was criticized two way, one of them is
that, it finished very well with original plot, because the origin
doesn't finish yet. The other one is that, it didn't express the charm
of origin even the half.
Plot Edward who has
lost his left-foot when he tried ductility for dying his mother.
However his younger brother, Alphonse lost his body that he has more
serious than his older brother. So Edward sacrificed his right-arm and
succeed to seal Alphonse's soul to an armor.
< Who is Full Metal Alchemist.. -0- >
Edward
who changed some of his body to artificial arm and artificial foot,
even though he is talented that he became national alchemist which
belongs to an army at his young age, thinks he should find
Philosopher's Stone to return his younger brother's body. Although he
is just ten years old, he is getting growable in his travel.
By Young This is why I like Japanese Animation. Let me write my 8 thoughts below.
1.
There is fantasy such as alchemy, there is principle of the world which
called "Equivalent Exchange" in the fantasy as alchemy. This question
about the principle is what the animation want to show.
This
question finally become philosophy, and it is based on the philosophy
and showed a question of human rights, the dignity of the life.
It
showed lots of things, so it's a little in a mess. Especially in the
last part, the main characters leapt to the world which we live, but
it's insistent a little bit.
< It's a question of philosophy. >
2. The Law of Equivalent Exchange if you want to something, you should pay something for it.
However,
in the real, it's not formed all the time, but, like Ed's word which he
wants to believe if he makes an effort, he gets something, many people
are living to make the effort and to believe the Law of Equivalent
Exchange in the real. Because of, I think, we are human
< The Law of Equivalent Exchange, the principle of the world. >
3.
Al is so kind. However this type of characters sometimes are not
flexibility, so they're unadaptable in the show, Al is like that.
In
the last part, when they come back to Risemble, they were detected by
Roy. But he didn't follow his older brother's word to hide his body and
suddenly appear and Roy party got hurts. And Ed was trying to seal
Homunculus who has their mother's appearance, Al interrupted him. His
personality actually like that, but I really really want to hit him.
Anyway....why did I think of Iron Hero 28???
< You should be beaten!!! >
4.
Whenever I watch several works, Im sometimes interested in
sub-character's romance instead of main character's romance, this is
such as that.
I expected the romance between Roy Mustang and Riza Hawkeye, it seemed to happen, but it's not. I wish it happend.
< Roy Mustang and Hawkeye. >
5. The ending which has an aftereffect. This kind of ending is, I think, it shows that the second season could be released
But
if it's possible, I hope it has 26 ep, or 13 ep.... 51 ep is too long~,
however 4 years passed since the first season has finished, but movie
edition is that's all.
< Second Season might be released.. >
6.
In my personality, I usually get empathy with sub-character's situation
more than main character, so there is one character who I get empathy,
it's Hughes.
The death of Hughes is most shock scene in the
show. He could make somebody feels good, and had the charisma which no
one can hate him, it's his charm, I think.
< Cute Guy, Hughes >
7.
I first have experience from the comic before I watch it, so I confused
when Metal Blood Alchemist, Grand appeared, because I misunderstood him
for Great Forearm Alchemist, Armstrong. They are similar to each
other...
Fortunately, in the middle part, there is one scene
which they appeared together. If they were distinguished...... the
color of mustache????
< Bald twins, Grand, Armstrong >
8.
One of characters, Lyra... I think she appeared so much. First, she was
this side or that side so that's why I don't like, but finally, last is
her..... she is an important character...
< Unexpectedly, Lyra appeared so much, because... >
Title : The Girl Who Leapt Through Time J-Title : 時をかける少女 Director : Mamoru Hosoda Writer : Yasutaka Tsutsui(Novel) Country : Japan / 2006 Episode : 98min × 1 Homepage : The Girl who Leapt Through Time ( http://cafe.naver.com/cjarthouse.cafe )(Jun, 2007) Score : ★★★
About The Girl who Leapt through Time The
animation for cinema which bases on a novel that was released in 1965,
and was written by Yasutaka Tsutsui who was famous three writers in
Japanese SF part. Although the title was unfamilar in Korea, it has
been Media-Mix several times such as drama, movie since it was released
at first, and it's really popular in Japan. It's first time to make for
an animation, but it's not exactly to base on the original. It shows
the story after 20 years from novel, so it would be say that it's kind
of "Second" story.
Kazuko Yoshiyama who was the main character
in the novel, appears as aunt of Makoto Konno who was the main
character in this story, so fans are excited to see the behind story of
original main character in the Animation.
However,
her This story is about Makoto Konno accidentally have the ability
"Time Leap" which can go back to the past. First, she was confused, but
she became to be familiar to the ability, she thinks it's almighty.
However, her people were confused, because of an event and the time
which she has turned back, and she experienced to go amiss the
relationship which she wants to keep, so she is getting confused. It
shows neatly a confused mind of adolescent girl who has experieced to
be tied from the power which can make any dreams whatever she wants.
It's kind of growth drama which is a little different from the original
which was strong into the SF.
The director is Mamoru Hosoda who
was the director of One Piece for movie(Baron Omatsuri and Secret
Island), and it's the first work since he is free that he has belonged
to Toei Animation for a long time, so he puts his passion on this
animation for movie. Neat and delicate character design was designed by
Yoshiyuki Sadamoto who is one of the best illustrator, and has designed
"Neon Genesis Evangelion" and "Dot Hack Series", the character design
who was shown his own style and difference from the others, are one of
the charming thing for this animation. The script was written by Satoko
Okudera who has won the Japanese Academy Script Aword with "A ghost
story of the school", and was shown the world of Yasutaka Tsutsui
naturally.
< The Story is about Time. This girl is main character. >
to
play it.It was first played by only one cinema in Tokyo, Japan, but
after the rumor rises, it was getting expanable There are a few films
for screen, so after one cinema finishes to play, the other cinema
plays it, and it takes for 9 month until it was released for DVD on
April, 2007.
In Korea, it was played in PIFF 2006, and SICAF 2007, and it was released on June, 2007.
Plot Konno Makoto
who was highschool second year sudent, has specific ability to move
through time accidentally. She consulted with her aunt Kazuko Yoshiyama
who has distinctive atmosphere, she said that it was called "Time Leap"
which sometimes happens to girl like Makoto's age, and it's nothing
special. First Makoto was confused, but she can do everything whatever
she wants to use that ability, she feels happy.
< Three are main >
However,
her friend, Chiaki Mamiya and Kousuke Tsuda changed the relationship
with her. Chiaki made a proposal to her unexpectedly, then Confused
Makoto leapt through time to make nothing happen. She wants to keep
this friendship like now, but her wish takes the wrong way. Aunt Kazuko
who knows what happened to her, just said that just be a couple with
him.
< The main character who has leapt through time accidentally >
Now, Makoto uses "Time Leap" to solve estranged relationship....
by Young In the
past, after I watched "King's Man", I wondered whether it's the worth
to draw audiences 10 million people. Because, contrary to the ads of
mass media and 10 million which is a superficial record, there is no
attraction for the movie, I think. Of course it depends on a person how
to think, but in my opinion, it's not the worth to draw audiences 10
million people.
And, I feel such as that again, after I watched
one animation. Of course, animation, The Girl who Leapt Through Time
which won lots of awards, has attraction, but I don't think it's the
worth to be favorably commented upon.
< There is attraction as the story of school days. >
I
think, Im strange, so I do like that, but while I was watching, I felt
uncomfortable. Because, there are a few vague things there. Of course
when you watch something such as a movie or an animation, if you have a
doubtful point explained, it's the way to watch it unfunnily, however I
won't say so deeply, but I have some question about it.
Actually,
my biggest question is who is the aunt? This woman who called Kazuko
Yoshiyama, sure seems to know something. She explained about Time-Leap
calmly which Makoto has experienced, and I was confused. Who she is.
Her attitude is like nothing happen even though it's unbelievable
experience. Who is she!!!
But, such as this question, I couldn't
realize until it was finished, and after I read the original novel, I
solve this question.
< Who are you!!! >
In
this animation, there are some understandable parts after reading the
book, so if somebody wants to watch it, first somebody should read the
book before watching it. But, I don't think the novel is interesting.
And
the others, there is no information about the picture which Chiaki
wants to see in the future. Why? Why did he come the present to see the
picture from the future?? The reason is, nothing there. Chiaki just
said "I don't care anymore." But.... I want to know... what's that!!
what's that!!! what the hxxx are you doing~ I want to know!!!!
< The picture which has something in secret. >
But, why I don't like it is....
the
ending part. I don't care whether it's happy-ending or sad-ending, but
I was uncomfortable the process for the ending. I thought "Oh, it
finished to give an aftertaste." but, still playing. This process
repeated two or three times, so I felt boring, if it wants to give the
aftertaste, it should give definitely. Or, it should finish definitely.
< Time waits for No One >
However,
the theme of this is clear. Time waits for no one. Being faithful for
the present. Time, waits for no one. It might be necessary word to the
main characters who spend their school-days, or the mains in the world,
and also me...
