HIDEAKI ANNO'S EARLIER LIVE-ACTION WORK

Anno is the current darling of the Tokusatsu world with his amazing Shin Japan Heroes Universe films and especially with the debut yesterday of the American premiere of Shin Kamen Rider. He is, of course, best known as an anime director and the creator of the seminal 90s series Neon Genesis Evangelion.

However, his first two forays into Live Action filmmaking were definitely different. Back in the late 90s, after 'finishing' Evangelion (Ha ha ha ha), Anno directed an anime romance series called Kareshi Kanojou no Jijyo (Kare Kano) which was a departure from his usual science fiction oriented shows. I was part of a fansub group at the time and was buying the laserdiscs for this series and I rather enjoyed it. The theme song is a total banger.

After finishing that project, Anno moved on to some live action films, his first being an experimental, shot entirely on digital, art film about the phenomenon of compensated dating called Love & Pop.

Compensated dating is/was the practice of older men paying high school girls to spend time with them and was basically a form of sex work that was questionable at best and downright illegal at worst. Anno was fascinated by a book about the subject called Topaz II by Ryū Murakami and adapted it to the screen with co-writer Akio Satsukawa.

In 2000, Anno made his second major Live Action film Shiki-Jitsu.

This was a highly personal film starring Ayako Fujitani and was about a disillusioned filmmaker who meets a young woman who continually repeats "tomorrow is my birthday". He tried to communicate with her through the movies he makes on a video camera. Anno met Fujitani (who is the daughter of colossal asshole actor Steven Seagal) while hanging out with Shinji Higuchi on the set of the the 90s Gamera films and thought she would be perfect for this role. After this, Anno directed the 2004 adaptation of Cutie Honey and the rest is history.

I thought it would be fun to take a peek at his lesser known films while he is in the eye of the tokusatsu public. Hope you learned something. These films are not super easy to find, unfortunately.

Character ask: Dorothy Gale (The Wizard of Oz)

I answered this ask a while back, but I felt like sharing it again.

Favorite thing about them: She's an all-around likable character; a nice, warm-hearted, relatable every-girl, whose "heroine's journey" is engaging and enjoyable to follow.

Least favorite thing about them: Hmmm... there's not much to dislike about her. Maybe that she tries to run away from home without considering at first how much her aunt and uncle will miss her and worry about her. But since she's just (approximately) a 12-year-old girl and desperate to save her dog's life, it can be excused, especially because she feels so guilty about it later.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I have brown hair.

*I'm sensitive and a bit of a dreamer.

*I love dogs.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I've never lived with an aunt and uncle.

*I don't live on a farm.

*I could never manage a long journey on foot in high heels (though maybe if they were magic, I could).

Favorite line:

"Someplace where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain..."

All the lyrics to "Over the Rainbow."

To Miss Gulch when she comes to take Toto away – a good scene to remember whenever critics accuse the screenwriters of robbing Baum's young heroine of her spunk:

"I won't let you take him! You go away, you....! Oooh, I'll bite you myself! You wicked old witch!"

To the fearsome giant head of the Wizard – more good lines to remember any time a critic labels her a weakling:

"You ought to be ashamed of yourself, frightening him like that when he came for you to help!"

"If you were really great and powerful, you'd keep your promises!"

And of course, the iconic line when she first arrives in Munchkinland:

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore!"

brOTP: The Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, and their real-world equivalents, Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke.

OTP: Safety and happiness.

nOTP: Any of the other characters; they're all too old for her.

Random headcanon: Her parents died in a fire. This explains why fire and smoke are associated both with the Wicked Witch and with the Wizard's initial frightening appearance in her dream.

Unpopular opinion: I don't think she's too much of a damsel in distress or a crybaby. Now, I understand why feminists complain that she's less spunky and no-nonsense than Baum's original Dorothy. But (a) she's older than Baum's Dorothy – it's natural for an adolescent-ish girl to be more emotional than a small child, (b) she's not without her own spunk – she still stands up to people who behave badly or threaten her friends, and even slaps the nose of a lion (not yet knowing that he's a coward) in Toto's defense, (c) Baum's Dorothy cries fairly often too – I don't know where the myth that she hardly ever cries came from, and (d) with all the danger and turmoil she goes through, I think she's entitled to a little terror and a few tears!

Song I associate with them: What else?

Here’s what I wrote about Cutie Honey -Tears- (キューティー・ハニーティアーズ) on Letterboxd:

I don’t mind attempts to reinvent a long running franchise with a different tone, but, unfortunately, this movie retained so little of what made Go Nagai’s work lovable (or even what made it weird) that what we’re left with feels a little empty.

I’m sure it also suffers from the obvious comparison to Hideaki Anno’s 2004 live-action treatment of the same source material.

Live action Legend of Zelda movie PSA

Listen.

Breathe.

Yes, it’s probably not going to be good. Going from video game to movie is NOT an easy task and chances are the goal is not to make a good movie anyway, it’s to make a successful movie with attached merch.

But it might be something else than horrible, too. Way too early to tell one way or the other right now.

Expectations are low. Definitely. But the movie won’t ultimately matter. It’s just a licensed fanfic… by some of the creators. Might be watchable. Might have some redeeming traits. Might not.

Now take a deep breath again because you won’t like this: my guess is, and I’m pretty sure of myself here, that Link WILL talk. He does in pretty much every media that’s not a game and the main reason he doesn’t in the game, beyond the story reasons when there is one, is that he is meant to let the player project fully into him. It’s a choice directly linked to the interactive nature of the game. This motivation to make him silent won’t be a thing in the movie, so they will go the easy route and he will talk. I think. I’m pretty sure.

I’m hoping for an original story, personally. Will it fit the lore?

OF COURSE IT WON’T.

I mean it will maybe be possible to add it to the lore without any major retcon or new timeline, but nearly every game that has lore broke the one established by the previous game or, if you prefer, expended it sideways with some reworkings. It’s pretty much a given at this point.

Anyway, deep breath, think of it as a licensed fan film that ultimately doesn’t matter but might not be all bad in spite of it all. It probably will be some degree of bad, but maybe not ALL bad. And hey, miracles fo happen.

Either way, we have amazing creators in this fandom, go give them some love and don’t worry about the movie.

Wonderful Things That May or May Not Be Wonderful!!! People of Tumblr, I want to express my sincerest remorse. I have done my best to highlight all the wonderful things that can be found in this wide, wide wonderful world we call home but in one single fleeting moment, I lost sight of what really mattered and now I am left to pick up the pieces. Now, at this moment, I can only ask for forgiveness for my great sin then simply move forward and strive to do better and be better in the future. Ok, here it goes: I apologize for not realizing that yesterday was, in fact, Talk Like A Pirate Day. What may be the greatest holiday ever created in the history of history and I had not acknowledged it until it was too late. I could have written a post starting with “Avast, me hearties”, told onlookers to “Batten down the hatches”, asked if you catch the cut of me jib, and peppered everything with a healthy dose of “Arrgh”. Instead, I have hornswoggled you all…no, I have hornswoggled myself. Still, I have made a promise to that same self and now, half of it is complete though the second half may never truly be finished. I just hope that everyone out there knows that September 19th a.k.a. Talk Like A Pirate Day is and always will be wonderful. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum that I toast to thee. P.S. Fun Fact: This may shock some of you but “Pirate Speak” (or at least the “Pirate Accent”) didn’t get its start in the Golden Age of Piracy. It actually got its start in 1950 with Robert Newton’s performance of all time great villain, Long John Silver, in Disney’s live action production of Treasure Island. Crazy right?

So yeah, the anime and live action came out around the same time, and I chose the one not part of this podcast's namesake. On the other hand, how would a bucket filled with a hundred Japanese alcohol taste?

Takumi-kun Series New Live-action Film

Shinobu Goto's legendary boys love novel series Takumi-kun Series, which has printed more than five million copies since 1992, will be adapted into a new live-action film to be released in Japanese theaters in 2023.

The Takumi-kun Series was published in 28 volumes from KADOKAWA's boys love novel imprint Kadokawa Ruby Bunko from April 1992 to March 2014, then the Takumi-kun Series Complete Edition that included all the previous stories in chronological order was released in 11 volumes from March 2016 to February 2017.

This school love story about two boys at a prestigious boarding school who, through various incidents, finally become lovers, has not only been published in comics, but has also been made into drama cassettes and CDs, and stage plays. So far, five live-action films have been released between 2007 and 2011, and this will be the sixth.

The role of Takumi Hayama is played by 19-year-old newcomer Shion Morishita, who has just made his debut in the entertainment industry but has become popular for his soothing TikTok videos. The role of Giichi Saki, the boyfriend of Hayama, is played by 22-year-old Daigo Kato, best known as Jyushi Aimono in the Hypnosis Mic: Division Rap Battle stage plays. Kenji Yokoi, who worked on the second to fourth films, returns to the director's chair.

I'm respecting the actor so live action shaggy is now vegan as well as his kid

How do you think live action shaggy would be as a parent?

I think this Shaggy will be a very chill fun parent, but also freak out if his children get into dangerous situations.

That’s an average game of Pac Man for those of you who forgot. And while the series spawned two animated shows, I don’t think anyone was asking for this.

Sleeping Beauty Spring: "Maleficent" (2014 film)

This reimagining of Disney's Sleeping Beauty was conceived in 2003, as Disney's answer to the recent success of the musical Wicked. Due to various delays, it didn't premiere until 2014, but it's clearly a spiritual sister to Wicked all the same, with a famous villainess re-conceived a sympathetic protagonist. It features a screenplay by Linda Woolverton (Beauty and the Beast, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland), and stars Angelina Jolie as the "evil" fairy of the title.

The opening scene introduces two neighboring enemy lands: a mundane human kingdom, and the beautiful Moors, where magical creatures dwell. We meet Maleficent as a happy, innocent fairy child, who flies through the Moors on her majestic wings. When a poor orphan boy named Stefan ventures in from the human realm, Maleficent befriends him, and as they grow up, they become lovers. But then the humans' ruthless King Henry wages new war against the fair folk. His soldiers are no match for Maleficent's magic, and in battle she mortally wounds the king. So on his deathbed, he decrees that whoever kills Maleficent will be his heir. Tragically, Stefan (Sharlto Copley) gives in to ambition – though he can't bring himself to kill Maleficent, he burns off her wings as she sleeps, then presents them as proof of her "death." Maleficent's despair at this brutal betrayal gradually becomes hard, cold bitterness, and she crowns herself the queen of the Moors, an enemy to all humans. Meanwhile, she gains a servant and spy named Diaval (Sam Riley) – a raven whom she can change to a man, or any other animal, at her will.

When Diaval informs her that King Stefan has fathered a child, Princess Aurora, Maleficent seizes her chance for revenge. Unlike the original Maleficent, however, she doesn't curse Aurora to die when she pricks her finger, but to fall into an endless sleep from which only true love's kiss can wake her; the last part is meant as mockery, because neither Maleficent nor Stefan believe in true love anymore. Accordingly, Stefan hides his baby daughter in the care of the only three fairies he trusts: Knotgrass (Imelda Staunton), Flittle (Leslie Manville), and Thistlewit (Juno Temple), this film's equivalents of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. And from here on, he devotes his life to waging war against Maleficent, who surrounds the Moors with a forest of gigantic, impenetrable briars.

Unlike in Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent easily finds the cottage where the fairies raise Aurora. But Knotgrass, Flittle, and Thistlewit are much stupider than Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather, and inept as foster mothers. Despite Maleficent's insistence that she hates the little "beastie," she and Diaval secretly watch over Aurora, ensuring that she lives to the age of sixteen, and over the years, Maleficent finds herself warming toward the innocent, brave young princess. Eventually, she spirits Aurora (now played by Elle Fanning) into the Moors for regular visits, and they form a close bond, with Aurora thinking Maleficent is her fairy godmother.

On her sixteenth birthday, Aurora resolves to leave her three silly "aunties" and live in the Moors. The same day, she also meets the handsome Prince Phillip (Brenton Thwaites). But when she announces her choice to leave, the fairies reveal her true identity and tell her about the curse. Now believing Maleficent to be evil, the distraught Aurora goes to her father's castle. There, the curse's hypnotic power takes effect and leads Aurora to the fateful spindle.

In desperation, Maleficent spirits Phillip to the castle, where the silly fairies urge him to kiss the sleeping Aurora. But his kiss doesn't wake her: his crush on her isn't "true love" because they only just met. After the others leave, however, the grieving Maleficent approaches Aurora's bedside and kisses her forehead. This kiss of true motherly love breaks the spell. (A twist that might have been even more effective if Disney hadn't already used a similar twist in its latest animated success, Frozen.)

But there's still a villain to defeat, as Stefan's army attacks Maleficent. Though she briefly fights them off by turning Diaval into a dragon, the soldiers soon overpower them. That is, until Aurora finds Maleficent's severed wings and frees them to fly back to her. With her power of flight restored, Maleficent triumphs, and the battle ends with Stefan falling to his death from a tower. Maleficent then removes her briars from the Moors and gives up her throne to Aurora, who unites the human and fairy realms in joy and peace.

While I understand why this film had mixed reviews, I understand its popularity too. It's a visually stunning production, with an atmosphere that perfectly balances darkness with enchantment. And while the screenplay has some uneven characterization, in general it's an engaging new spin on an old story. As for Angelina Jolie she embodies this version of Maleficent in all her dignity, ferocity, wry wit, and complexity. That said, she never captures the sheer gravitas and charisma that Eleanor Audley's voice and Marc Davis's animation gave the original Maleficent. No matter what its fans might claim, this film can't replace the artistry of the animated Sleeping Beauty. I especially dislike the reduction of the three good fairies, the original film's true heroines, into obnoxious idiots.

Still, for an epic, creative reimagining of an iconic Disney villainess's story, Maleficent is very much worth seeing.
