Nice! I finally watched this for the first time last night.

French poster for Gamera Super Monster [x]

person who has only watched one anime: what i really love about dungeon meshi is how it subverts our expectations of a typical anime by not sexualising women and having a good plot!

Super (Tokusatsu) Monster Gamera

From the "if I ran the world or had a lot more influence" department:

I liked Gamera Rebirth. But right now, with CGI Godzilla on the rise, Gamera has a unique opportunity to take the other path: Go full traditional suitmation (with some CGI support, like in the Heisei Gamera days) and don't merely try to create "realism" with it.

Take a page from the Shin playbook and make the visual style you're going for (and maybe even something about content?) related to the medium of tokusatsu itself.

Take a Wes Anderson or Hideaki Anno-level obsession with a specific look and apply it to making the ultimate suitmation/traditional tokusatsu tribute in the form of a live action Gamera revival. Instead of marketing the film as the first full CGI Gamera, market it as adhering to the Japanese tradition. Show off the suit/animatronic, the miniatures, etc. Make a big stink about the Oscars and ask them to recognize traditional effects work (their refusal to do so could be more press). Make a fun Minus One-esque effects explanation video. Their monster is in a computer. Ours is real.

It's a risk. But I think, when you have way less name recognition, budget, and current cultural currency compared to a certain kaiju rival, this is how you could compete.

Ever since that "can your fave survive castle Dracula" blog did Stephen Maturin I've been thinking about Temeraire Characters vs. Castle Dracula so here's the breakdown: Laurence: About as good odds as the average Jonathan Harker. He has similar approach to religion (and would probably take the crucifix out of social obligation) and ability to manage the social situation with Dracula. He has experience being prisoner of various groups for various motives, and he has a tendency to accidentally make arrogant tyrants fall in love with him, so he's good on the "keeping Dracula's attention" front. If he managed to get in the baby situation he'd probably die because he'd try to save it (self-sacrificial martyr streak) but it's unlikely he'd end up in that exact spot with the vampire ladies since I think he'd be a lot more military and methodical about any exploring and always return to safe zones up until his actual escape attempt. Anyway if he lives long enough to try climbing he's home free, the man might not be a born and bred aviator but he's been climbing first ships' rigging and then dragon harness his entire life and once escaped a palace that was on fire by climbing down the outside. CAN survive. Tharkay: As a major proponent of “if it sucks, hit da bricks,” Tharkay climbed out the window on night #1. Granby: Granby would take the crucifix and from there it would mostly depend on how much Dracula finds him entertaining. Granby won't be polite about being imprisoned, and is used to Iskierka who will react to his protests by overruling him instead of getting bored and killing him. So i'm inclined to think Dracula would not find him so fun, in which case he probably would kill him early on. That said he could probably make the climb even one-handed. (again, burning palace experience) Could Survive but Probably Won't. Sorry Granby. Jane Roland: I will be honest I do not see any situation in which Jane could be tempted into castle Dracula in the first place, at least not without Excidium also being there on a mission of destruction. She's more of a Quncy Morris type, only she wouldn't die because she'd be on the back of a fifteen ton dragon who will melt Dracula into a horrible goo from aloft. Survives, by virtue of not playing.

Arthur Hammond: I cannot stress enough how fast this man dies.

Temeraire: Is a dragon the size of a frigate with a sonic attack that regularly causes landslides. Castle Dracula does not survive him.

From this:

I love animals that are, like, the opposite of cryptids: we know for a fact they exist and have a clear idea of what they look like because we have photographs and individual specimens, but we haven’t the faintest idea where they’re coming from - they just keep showing up out of nowhere, and the locations of their actual population centres are a complete mystery.
