So
nica1287 and I watched episode 6 of Atashinchi no Danshi last night and AHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD HARD GAY IS MY NEW FAVOURITE CHARACTER. HARD GAY. HARD GAY, YOU GUYS. And HE'S IN LOVE WITH FUU AHAHAHAHA IT'S SO PERFECT. Oh yeah and my cracky OTP is actually becoming canon for the first time ever but AHAHAHAHA HARD GAY, YOU GUYS, HARD GAY!
Oh, and I've developed a raging crush on
Yamamoto Koji. He's foxy in glasses, he's a great actor,
he can sing, and he voiced Rui in the Hanadan anime. JUST THOUGHT YOU SHOULD KNOW.
So yeah, I rewatched 5 Centimeters Per Second last night because I needed to take notes on it for my essay, which I'm still not done. I really should've done it last week, or like ANY TIME OVER THE LAST TWO MONTHS, but it's seriously soul-crushing in the most amazing way and I didn't really feel like bawling my eyes out; it's a very emotionally draining film. So yeah, I did my best to hold it together, to be impartial and analytical, and I was doing a pretty good job... until One More Time, One More Chance kicked in at the end of the third part, and I just lost it, bawling hysterically. The kicker? I had one hand clamped over the lower half of my face while I cried uncontrollably so I wouldn't smudge the writing in my notebook while the other hand continued to take notes diligently. What I don't even-
So for anyone who hasn't seen 5 Centimeters Per Second, OH GOD YOU HAVE TO SEE IT. Words cannot really do it justice, so sufice it to say that the amazing aesthetics are only topped by the heartrending story. And this is what it looks like, so.
(No apologies for the lack of cut; Shinkai's sheer awesomeness excuses it.) That's just the opening scene, but yeah, the whole movie's like that. Uh, except better, because it's not tiny like my little shrunken screenshots. AAAAAAHHH SHINKAI MAKOTO WHY MUST YOU BE SUCH A GENIUS? /inferiority complex
aaaaaaaaaaahhhh so tired all the time lately. =/
