  • Yu Aoi Film Discussion – Ashita e no Yuigon – Best Wishes for Tomorrow

    Hmm… I actually saw this a long while ago, and I couldn’t re-watch this because I lost my copy, silly me probably didn’t back up. And I couldn’t take any screencaps of Yu in it. I might… someday, take the time to do it, but if you have the film at hand (because you are about to watch it, or plan to)… would you do some captures of Yu and shared them here? Just a few captures would be nice since there aren’t many images online~

    Anyway! Let’s start, shall we?

    Something about the film:
    (From AsianMediaWiki)
    Best Wishes for Tomorrow reenacts the war crimes trials against Lieutenant General Tasuku Okada, commander of the 13th Area Army in the Tokai region, and the general’s 19 subordinates who were accused for executing 38 American soldiers who had landed in the region after bombing it with high-explosives and napalm, killing thousands of civilians.

    Genre: Drama, with depictions of war.
    Starring: Makoto Fujita, Robert Lesser, Fred McQueen, Richard Neil
    Appearances by: Sumiko Fuji, Masahiko Nishimura, Yoshiko Tanaka, Yu Aoi
    Duration: Almost 2hr

    Below, the spoilers~

  • First-ish Look at Disney’s The Princess and the Frog

    Is this a trailer? Doesn’t feel like one 3P

    Anyway! Disney’s 2d animation is back! It’s been years since the last 2d animated Disney film (2004 with Home on the Range which wasn’t so good), in fact… this is their first princess-ish animated film since~~~ since Aladdin’s Jasmine in 1992, but that was more like an Aladdin flick… or Beauty & the Beast in 1991, but Belle was not really a princess. LOL So! That leaves us with The Little Mermaid’s Ariel in 1989~~~

    Wow, 20 years of my life have just flown by~~~

    The Princess and the Frog reminds me of The Rescuers, and All Dogs Go to Heaven – hint fat crocs… and fat crocs who sing, with a hint of Sebastien from The Little Mermaid~~~ ‘LOL. Still wanna watch though~~~

  • If There Was a Place Called Aoi Yuland…

    ~~ it’d be like this map I’m about to show you.

    The nifty people at NOTCOT had a blast creating NOTLand with Kidlandia, so I wanted to play too~~~ LOL. Truth, I was supposed to use names of people Yu is related to, instead I decided to use names/last names or even name projects~~ The result, below the break.

    And yes, it’s kids stuff… but still, kinda interesting. LOL

    Can you spot the character or project? 3P
