by kuro-hime




SUMMARY :
Lag Seeing is a young by born on The Day of Flicker, when the man-made sun inexplicably vanished. His ambition is to be a Letter Bee, couriers that deliver mail throughout Amber Ground, and follow in the footsteps of the dissapeared Gauche, a precious friend from his early childhood.


REVIEW :

Personally, I love this anime.

I feel that the art, voice acting and character development is great!

The art is really nice. The colors used and lighting makes the anime more intense.

Then, the voice acting. I can't help but just replay certain scenes to hear their voices.

Not only that, the character development is done quite slowly but nicely. The pacing is pretty good.

At first, I liked how the anime was deeper and more mysterious than it seem to be. Conspiracy theories were hinted but no one really knows what's the answer.
The anime goes on, hinting more and revealing bit by bit of the mystery.
I like how so many questions arises as the anime series go on.

Unfortunately, the ending was a huge disappointment.

Can you imagine that you have a billion questions and theories BUT none of them get answered??!!

I mean, WTF?!!

I love every part of the anime EXCEPT the ending.

ugh, so many unanswered questions!

But some people say that this happens because the manga is not finished yet. Well, I guess this will be like FMA (1st season)

Does that mean, there'll be a redo?? FMA : Brotherhood, anyone? I really hope so though.

Other than that, I pretty much enjoyed the series. Even the music in this series was solid. It had a great OP and ED songs. The background music really made the scene even more intense.

I rate this anime 7 out of 10.

Black Swan

by kuro-hime



SUMMARY :

Nina Sayers is a young dancer with a prestigious ballet company in New York City. She lives with her overbearing mother, Erica, a failed dancer turned amateur artist who tries to control much of Nina's life.

The ballet company is preparing for a production of Swan Lake. The director, Thomas Leroy, has to cast a new principal dancer. The lead must be able to portray both the innocent, fragile White Swan and her darkly sensual, evil twin, the Black Swan. Nina is selected to compete for the part alongside several other dancers. The director does not intend to cast Nina as the Swan Queen. When Nina visits him to request the role, he tells her that her rigid technique makes her ideal for the White Swan, but that she lacks the passion to dance the Black Swan. When he forces a kiss on her, she bites him. Thomas sees her potential and gives her the role.

As she trains for the role, she falls into madness.

REVIEW :

Wow, this is one of the most intense movie ever. Who knew that falling into madness could be so, well, intense.

Anyhow, this movie is totally psychological. I mean, it's a movie that'll really get you and affect you.

Natalie Portman was brillant in this movie. In fact, the whole cast was GREAT!!

The director did a great job and the cinematography in this movie is beautiful.

I like how we, the audience couldn't tell whether it was reality or just one of Nina's crazy moments.

This movie is also a little scary because Nina is going crazy and certain scenes were frightening. I mean, breaking and twisted crackling bones scare the shit out of me. Maybe it's just me, but I dislike watching the human body being distorted like being broken or twisted in a very ugly painful way.

This movie also had lots of sexual things such masturbation and two girls making out. So yea. That isn't my favourite part in the movie but it's needed because Nina was going crazy and this was part of it.

I like the director or the movie captures her fall to crazyland. It's actually quite beautiful and sad.

Nina is a good dedicated dancer and she would do anything for her role.
Unfortunately, she lost her sanity for the role.

But atleast, she danced a beautiful dance and it was perfect. So yea...

Anyhow, brilliant movie! I would recommend it and I would recommend that people over 18 years old watch it. It's really intense.

This movie made me respect dancers and all their passion. Unfortunately, it also made me question it. Why dance so hard? I mean, a dancing career will end when you reach the age of 30.
And some never even make it to be famous dancers!
So yea.

But thanks to the movie, if I ever have a daughter, I will not send her to a dancing school.
I respect the dance world but I'm glad that I'm not part of it.

Anyway, enough of that, I'm rating this movie a 9 out of 10!!
