So if you're a fan of them, this might be sorta interesting to you =)
Oda-san rox my world!!!
(Blog entry dated December 16, 2009) - reformatted so that it reads better in England.
Firstoff...
To all you Softbank subscribers, the AAA mobile site opens up today! And tomorrow, it'd be you au subscibers' turn♪ And finally, on the 21st, access will open up to DoCoMo subcribers as well!!
Yeah, we finally got it up and running(^^) Sorry for the wait♪ Go right ahead and surf to all your hearts' content☆
Also, remember the picfest on my entry last week when I put up pictures of all the others? I realized too late that I'd left somebody out, whoops...(-.-;)
>>pickcher<<
On that very night itself, that somebody sent me a message which went something along the lines of, "You know, I'm not upset at all that you forgot to put up that picture you took with me. Nope, not at all."
Realizing my error, I sent him a message saying how sorry I was♪(LoL) So here's to Mr. Somebody: There. See? I've put it up already☆(LoL)
Alritey! Time to get down to the real topic of today's entry:
Oda-san.
I seriously don't think there's a single person reading this who doesn't know who I'm talking about...
But anyway, what I want to say is: YESSS!! I FINALLY GOT TO WATCH IT! I FINALLY GOT TO WATCH "ONE PIECE: STRONG WORLD"!!!11one! It sure as hell wasn't easy, though.
On the first day of its release, I went to the cinema after work happily thinking that I'd get to watch it but saw this instead:-
[ONE PIECE: ALL TICKETS SOLD OUT FOR TODAY]
;__;
So I went back again the next day after work, right? But again, all I got was--
[ONE PIECE: ALL TICKETS SOLD OUT FOR TODAY]
T.T
So I tried again the next day (after work, of course) and again--
[ONE PIECE: ALL TICKETS----]
RAWWWWR! I GEDDIT ALREADY! IT'S SUPER POPULAR, I GEDDIT ALREADY ALRITE??!!
ARGH! It's so inconvenient that I hardly have time, or that I really really wanted one of those limited edition 0 wraparounds reserved for those who are within the first 1.5 million to watch it, or that I'm a huge fan of Oda-san and really wanted to see his work.........
Aw man, now what?
Hmm...waaaait a minute. Out of everyone I know, isn't there one other person who's as big an OP fan as I am??
Well, in times of need and all that..."〇〇-san, help me out here!"
"Righty-O! Let's see now...here, this cinema still has tickets left but this is the only time it has seats available so how about it? You up for it?"
"'course I am! Count me in!"
...figures the only time there are seats left available would be 26:40...which means that by the time the show finishes, it'd be half past four in the am!! And not to mention that I have work the next day.................ah, screw it! Like hell I'm gonna let that keep me from watching it!
And so...
>>pickcher<<
...I watched it with the one and only Daimaou Kosaka!☆(LoL)
Yeppers, the only other huge OP fan that I know of is none other than him. After the movie, we hung out at an all-night diner to gush about the movie like the good little fanboys we are until the sun rose and we each had to head off to work.
But man, was the movie goooood☆ I won't spoil it for you but let me just say that it's one hell of a piece of work. The overall sound, the sound effects, the images, the styling of the characters and the way each and every one of them was practically shining on screen...just those alone were enough to impress! Only the sound system of a cinema would be able to do justice to all those thumping sound effects. There's also a lot of intricate details in the scenes so if you're going to watch it, don't do it anywhere else but the cinema!
Gosh, watching this has totally renewed my resolve to put as much effort as I can into my own work〇
Thank you so much for showing us this amazing piece of work, Oda-san!!
Luffy's the Man!(>_<)
