Incidents of my Gensokyo
Due to some surge of curiosity, I recently tried Making you a two-dimensional girl from the link I fished out from Sixten’s site. All you have to do is enter your name, and it generates a brief description of your 2D self, from clothes to personalities.
This is what I got:
If shance was 2D: 『Wears a China dress. Has droopy eyes. Has long, green hair. An erotic and seemingly lonely character.』
And so, it came to this…
Fighting the good fight.
Ah, yes. You might be wondering where the hell was I when the new season came in. I-i-i-i-i-it’s not like I wasn’t watching out for it or anything! I just did something else, that’s all! But tsundere jokes aside, yes, I was gone. Again. No excuse to give, nothing much to tell but the valid alibi. Let’s just say I’m pretty much bored wasting myself watching oldschool shows during my short trips down the Memory Lane.
Giant Robo has always fascinated me even after I watched it for so many times. The first viewing gave me what it had to offer at face value, and I couldn’t find fault in it. The second one was critical for me, because I got an even more powerful experience especially watching its climactic scenes. I watched it less at that point to get the plot, but as a person who began to feel for the characters on the show. The third viewing, which I did today, had a specific purpose: To do justice for all the father figures that played a great part on the show.
Please pardon the spoilers that will follow for anyone who hasn’t watched, or plans to watch, Giant Robo: The Day The Earth Stood Still.
Uh-oh…
Before we start, words of warning: DO NOT TAKE THIS POST TOO SERIOUSLY. I only did this to compare and analyze the similarities of the fictional Catholic religion in Hellsing. I have no intention of bashing Catholicism in reality, but anything that needs noting, whether from fiction or reality, will simply be noted for citation and reference of the statements written herein.
Now that that one’s been done and taken away, on with the program.
Hellsing has always served us with gratuitous violence, It raised controversies even after the story has ended (the manga published its final volume in 2008). The most prominent of them are the feuds between the religious groups, especially those of the Catholic sects and the Vatican’s Iscariot Division.
