Something from good 'ol luinthoron
The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.
1.Garth Nix
2.Lewis Carol
3.Ian Rankin
4.Neil Gaiman
5.Mark Billingham
6.J.R.R. Tolkien
7.H.P. Lovecraft
8.Terry Pratchett
9.Otsuichi
10.Kinoko Nasu
11.Koji Suzuki
12.Kouhei Kado
13.Enid Blyton
14.Shirow Masamune
15.Ryukishi07
16.Arthur Conan Doyle
Had to put in an extra. I don't want any of them to not be in that list.
Shirow isn't really a writer in the sense of western perspective but who cares. I certainly don't.
On another note, also about Shirow's works, I hope DreamWorks won't kill the 3D adaptation of GiTS by making a not-Major Major, or a not-Batou Batou, or not-Togusa Togusa or even mess up the Tachikomas, or Fuchikomas if they're doing it in the manga version. I will not tolerate a Major or a Batou that was changed to 'appeal' mass media. You do that and you break too many things that make the 3 different Majors to be Motoko Kusanagi. And I seriously wish Kawai-san would make the Sounds for the film, but since it's DreamWorks production... I guess it would be a no no.
Oh... another Live-action movie that I'm actually waiting for it to come out: Assault Girls. Basically it happen in Mamoru Oshii's previous Live-Action Film Avalon, which wasn't all that bad, if you forget the rather bad blending of the characters. But yeah, this one doesn't look that bad. I wonder if it'll touch the issues in Avalon as well.
