NEW WHIM
I want to collect all the movies I saw as a kid.
The animated ones.
ALL OF THEM. Even animated ones I never actually saw, ever. Like The Twins of Belleville.
You know, this idea popped into my head because I saw the front page of LJ and was like "Isn't Joss Whedon the Firefly guy?" And he is. And he apparently also worked on Titan A.E. and Atlantis! Holy crap I forgot Titan A.E. existed, and I actually WENT TO THE THEATER to see it!
HAHA!! Leonard Nimoy voiced someone in Atlantis!!
I don't know, there is just something extra magical about animated films. I've never really been into movies but I'm almost always excited about anything animated, whether it's a Disney movie or some anime episode--I mean, are you surprised I like anime so much, now that you know this about me? Rather, LIKED is probably the more appropriate word, as I am long since over the otaku days.
It would be so nice to get into anime again, though. My mindset changed so much as I grew older--I mean, that is ideal, after all, right! But it ruins some of the old things I used to love.
I remember trying to watch an episode of D.N.Angel a couple of years ago and thinking, "I would have loved this 10 years ago, but right now it makes me want to crush my head into a wall." Ken has tried showing me a bunch of different things recently, and even then my brain is going, "It's ok, but something is just not connecting/it seems juvenile somehow."
That...could also be due to the apparent fact that we have opposite taste in anime?? Because there are a couple that I went nuts over while he's all "Meh."
It seems like anime created for an adult audience, though, is usually bordering on porno, and I'm not really into that either. The closest I can come to an age-appropriate, non-almost-porno anime is Kachou Ouji, or Legend of Black Heaven (WHICH I'M STILL PISSED THAT I NEVER GOT TO FINISH), but it was quite obviously written for a male audience--that's not so bad, but it would be more...special...if there were something for women. Like an anime version of Sex and the City, minus some of the hyper-girliness just for me. (I'm sure some of you are loving that mental picture by the way.)
Hmm...I'm not sure I want the Japanese version of Sex in the City anything. I tried reading the manga Suppli already and hated it. I'm glad I'm not a Japanese woman....
Well, my whim is probably not going to come to fruition, but I thought I would share the moment anyway. What is with me you guys?!? I keep getting passionate about sporadic whims of fancy and spending hours daydreaming in bed all of a sudden. Not that this has anything to do with the fact that I am drawing more often again!
