Ok. So this Miyazaki film is not like Spirited Away or Howl's Moving Castle. In all honesty, I had no clue what was going on and what the main purpose of the film was. At one point I was bored. But I continued cos I made a vow to watch every single Ghibli movie. I googled for the explanation and finally understood the beauty of this film. It's quite sad really.

So as engineers, they were made to make plane building as their top priority and family second. Despite his fiance being gravely ill, he did his best in both fields. The guy just wanted to make a beautiful plane and the irony is, that beautiful plane was used for atrocity; bombing Pearl Harbor. At the end his wife had died without him being beside her but she appears in his dream and told him to live on before disappearing. It really is bloody sad and even more sad that I had very little understanding of what was happening to fully appreciate the story and the art. I love Hayao Miyazaki and he will always be my hero. He made amazing films and I hope Studio Ghibli will continue to grow as big as it is now.

No. Not Disney's Frozen. But the thriller Frozen that came out in 2010. As I had anticipated, this movie sucked balls. I don't even know why my friends and I sat throughout the duration of this abomination movie.

First of all, I get it. I get that they want to make it seem more realistic by having them chat bullshit all the time. A group of friends, just chatting shit like normal people and bam. Shit hit the fan. But this is a movie man. You can't have the audience sit there and listen to them talk bullshit! It's ok if it's about someone you know cos they you want to listen and gossip, but it's practically strangers' conversation and you have to be bored out of your guts to go around and listen to people's convo.

Anyway, the three of them get stuck in a ski lift cos the dude that let left and a different guy shut the lift off. After that, a series of stupidity just happened. The guy in the middle jumped down, broke his legs and was eaten by a pack of wolves. The next day, the other dude traverses the ski lift cable and manage to get to a pole with a ladder, only to be chase by the wolves and blah. The next day, the girl falls and crawls to the road. The end =.=

Ok. This is not really a review, just an opinion thing. Pretty sure people will disagree with this but someone always will. Anyhow, I've spent my first few days of freedom struggling to do work but I ended up watching anime. Tokyou Ghoul was recommended by two friends already. They said it's good like Parasyte. So I gave it a try.

Turns out I hated it. I think it's one of the worst anime I've ever watched. And I don't usually watch till the end for most but I held out for this one, hoping shit would turn around but it didn't. They say there will be season three and I hope it bloody is good! Perhaps the manga is better since animes are usually messed up and totally different to the manga. Like Soul Eater! I loved it but the anime ending sucked-ish.

Anyway, here are the reasons why I think Tokyo Ghoul sucked.

First season started out great and cool. Some shit dragged out but it can't be helped. It's necessary for the main character to develop. Though, personally I wish Rize was more active. As in, controlling Kaneki a bit more and giving him that push of a power, which only ever happened... er... twice. But meh, wasn't such a big deal. What really grinded my gear was the inconsistency of the anime. Ever since season two started everything just went down the drain. We ended season one super fucking cool with Kaneki killing off Jason with his newly unleashed power by Rize. Then season two started with so much shit and most of the time they did long ass pauses of characters staring at each other instead of explaining shit (like the manga, as many people have pointed out) or split into more seasons rather than compressing a great anime! Now look at what happened to season two. God dammit.

Despite the fact that Kaneki killed Jason off in a matter of minutes and devoured him, he got his ass handed to him by a puny shit human Amon when they invaded Cochlea. And what was more irritating is the fact that he was eating too! I thought if ghouls feed they get extra power and yet a mere screaming Amon was slicing him up? Give me a break, pls. And the fact that guy Shinohara is almost as tough as the fucking ghouls and hasn't died yet is just pushing it. These humans are somehow super human with their ability to move as fast as the ghouls. Really? And that Juzo kid concept is just too stupid. His craziness somehow gives him power? There's just no fucking logic. Ghouls are powerful cos they are monsters to begin with, but the fact that these humans can stand up to them and the very same people from 10 years ago are still alive is just too fucking sad. Compared to Parasyte, the humans were portrayed better. Yes, they took out many parasytes and were almost one to one with them but they did it in a way in which it made more fucking sense. They just rounded more people and more weapons. Oh and Amon, does seven thousand push ups? Er, ok. I know the ghoul concept is not realistic either, but these humans are not even humans at all. They should have just changed the whole concept. Ghouls vs. super heroes or some shit since the humans seem to be like superman or whatever the fuck. And shitty Amon does serious damage to Kaneki. Yes, the ghoul who has two kagunas and killed Jason! I guess the ultimate weapon to kill off the ghouls is fucking push ups! Genius, nee????

I guess I'm just annoyed at the way the humans were portrayed. It could have  been better. They could have matched with the ghouls in another way and more human like. If that makes any sense. And the only humans that died were that batshit crazy Mado, the nobody glasses guy, puny Seido (and Amon?). Uh. Ok. Toughnut humans hard to kill and recover super fucking fast like the goddamn ghouls. They only lost half of their troupes at the mall too, when they tried to take out the powerful Aogiri. I at least hope Amon is fucking dead cos if he isn't then the story is really stupid at this point now.

Maybe season three - if they really are making it - gets better. Or maybe the manga is. But right now I'm too angry to continue with Tokyo Ghoul. So massively disappointed.
