Since so much of chat here lately has been about seemingly exploitative anime what do you is gunslinger girl exploitative?.
I mean it’s like someone took frame by frame stuff from a idk a
Bourne series,Jason Statmen or mindless Hong Kong shooter movie and put some moe girls in it
!.I mean I know that,that is prob.one of the lighter levels of anime craziness but it was still so grating to watch in a trailer that made it seem like a Bourne series,Jason Statmen or mindless Hong Kong shooter movie >~<.
It didn’t help that it was on a Shigofumi:letters from the departed DVD which I handled ok until like the 2nd episode when I found out that the girl who stabbed the rocketeer hobbyist boy was exploitated for like hebephilic porn.At which point I was like “WHOA THERE! Q_Q.I AM NOT going to continue this anime” before promptly returning it to the library.I don’t know if I’d be able to carry out watching the rest this time around.
As much as I dislike stuff about mobsters,gangsters,assaisains,merceneries and hitmen most of the time b/c it sickens me to see such terrible ppl get glorified ironically I’ll only get into that stuff for the sake of research on something I’m working on.As a result if I’d like to look into that stuff I’ve decided to do it in a good thourough way.
I’ve decided to take a break from my second DB franchise fan-fic for a while.I’ve ran out of steam for that for a while at least so I’ll take a break from it until ideas for it start culminating again.I’ve decided that do something else that I can take any direction with,without having to listen to preset foundations for a series.Somehow I think that if I can combine the plots of the Tekken games (esp.the first three Tekken games) with both the Shenmue games along with a few other things I can up with completely original story that would make for a great martial arts thriller novel!.Maybe it can be a movie even
!.Maybe at least a good screenplay .
It’s just that they both give off the impression that they got layers.I don’t know much about Shenmue other then it being one of the earliest sandox open world games,it was made by Square and I’ve heard that the series isn’t offically over and there still hoping to continue the story.It was originally suppose to be 6-7 games but they had money problems.I wonder how it would have turned out though : - /.Along with all that it just really seems to give off the the feeling of an urban martial arts thriller.One* with layers *
…but unfortuntely still that shallow,uncreative,pitiful revenge trope as the driving spur for this stuff happening -_-.
Yeah,I know I prob. shouldn’t take the vapid story-lines of fighting games too seriously since they use silly reasons like revenge to justify having a talented fighter for a player to select but still…with the Tekken games I actually sorta get a vibe it’s one of the less vapid ones.Maybe it’s b/c of those polygonal graphic that from the start
always tried to do realism (in the early days with it’s textures) in constrast to say,Street fighter’s story-line which has chronological inconsistencies (ex.SFIV apparently happens after SFII but before SFIII) & it always boils down to Ryu trying to control his innerdarkness or something Shadaloo related.The Mortal Kombat games have had better story consistency and details for the most part (who knowsif that’ll improve with the post 2k11 reboot) but while it’s an American style dark fantasy martial arts at the end of the day it’s esp.in terms of gameplay it’s a jarring gore-fest romp -_-.
Tekken feels different though.For the most part it’s always been about the hatred inside the Mishima family.Esp.with the first 3.:-/…Really makes me wonder what the story “would have been” for the 1st tag tournament game if they didn’t scrap the plot for just a dream fight-fest.By the 4th one though it’s become more about Jin focusing on his attempted revenge and apparent corruption with power.In my opinion then every three
Tekken games so far has meant a different “stage”.So far as the story has progressed so far it
should be wrapping up.It’s unlikely since it’s *Namco’s cash-cow -_- .If it were to be wrapped up I’d say it would happen in 2 games.Maybe 3 if they use an extra one for a good/wise story contribution.It would definately help if Unknown became a canon character to the main games and I have a feeling that Lars might and
can be a key instigator to wrap up the franchise.If they were to finish the Tekken series I would see them having no problem having a spot in another fighting games series like how the (now retired?) Virtua fighter characters have been appearing in the Dead or Alive games more.
Thus it seems like for now that Tekken+Shenue+Ghost in the shell+Michael Crichton style thriller+depth and maybe development style of Les Miserables+Mo Yan’s hallucinatory realism for the supernatural stuff (maybe on a marginal level but originally I was thinking of going more for and still using Buddhist and Taoist philosophy)+Jet Li Rise to honor game+John Woo style gun fu/guns akimbo/gun kata from Equilibrium =great martial arts thriller book!.Grief and gravy I’m going to have to learn how to write detailed martial arts fights @_@.:dts:But it’s about the story above all :yup:!.
End question: Do you guys think “
gunslinger girl” is exploitative?.
*Come on Namco just give Jin his mom back already and make them all even
Heihachi one big happy family like in Lars Tag Tournament 2 ending and include Lee as well for his sake and for his approval of excellence
like how you guys describe it as having happened.
The characters, the story line, the animation, the music score, everything! :clapping: I think I might even have a little crush on Inuyasha. 
Wierd isn’t it? :blushing: Haha oh well.
