Se dejó llevar por los signos calientes y empezó conocer sin caras. Los perfiles adúlteros de los espectros femeninos (y si es que los eran), condujeron a desconocernos. Fue, cuando como espías cibergálacticos, incursionamos (los tres) a engañar a las maestras de la seducción virtual. ¡Qué fácil era embaucar con datos falsos las ilusiones de las destructoras de familias! Parece ser, son las mujeres de entre 40 y 50 años de viejas, las que se registran para jugar a los detestables clicks en los “gatos” (o chats) y las redes sociales (no lo sé, me imagino una red pesquera y alrededor cientos de individuos, en un mismo bote, todos hablándole a la mar) y pretenden, quizá, escapar de sus maridos, sus hijos u otro contacto ‘romántico’. No le hallo la gracia… De adolescente me pasaba un largo rato en Internet; indagaba cómo burlar los datos, aunque no son conocimientos de un hacker, es más básico. Pensándolo bien, no logro comprender el dolor de ella, ante semejantes artimañas de él, y tampoco de él, el querer abandonarnos por signos efímeros y ¿reales? Lo cierto, es que con mi hermano llorábamos muy mucho.

  • Film Genre Study Assignment Lucas
    Fantasy Genre Study Lucas The genre I have chosen is fantasy. ● The details of this genre is bright colours or certain colours to set the mood. ● An interesting style for buildings and nature. ● Usually some kind of magical thing or supernatural thing. ● Mythical creatures. ● Usually a happy mood at most points. ● Characters have a very certain kind of personality that makes the special and different from everyone else. ● The plot usually has something with saving the world or finding something or dealing with a problem. What makes fantasy unique. ● There are lots of different camera angles more than other genres. ● Lots of different kinds of lighting with lense flares and a colour to set an atmosphere. ● Dialogue can be a bit different like if they talk in a certain different way. ● Usually lots and lots of colours way more vibrant than other genres. ● The style of buildings is sometimes very different from real life and there sometimes is much more nature. ● Has lots of special effects that are sometimes crazy. ● Sometimes makes the viewer think what if life was like this. The two films I chose to watch was both anime movies and they were, Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale and Blue Exorcist: The Movie. Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale ● Plot - A new gaming device comes out called the Augma and it is like the VR but it is an AR so people are awake and going places to use it, and so it is a gaming device but the top game on it Ordinal Scale is not what it seems because it has a bad side to it for that can threaten lives and make SAO survivors forget everything about SAO.

  • Aniplex of America Announces GRANBLUE FANTASY the Animation Blu-Ray Release
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 2, 2017 Aniplex of America Announces GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation Blu-ray Release The adventure fantasy anime invites fans into the Blu-ray and beyond! SANTA MONICA, CA (March 2, 2017) – Aniplex of America announced at their industry panel at Kawaii-Kon (Honolulu, HI) today that the smash hit game turned anime TV series GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation will be released on Blu-ray in two volumes in 2018. The series is directed by Yuuki Ito (Blue Exorcist, Sword Art Online) and Animation Series Director Ayako Kurata (Magi: The Kingdom of Magic, Your lie in April) with character design handled by Toshifumi Akai (Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood). The Blu-ray packages will contain exclusive illustration cards, a deluxe booklet containing a collection of the character, prop, and background art, along with an original soundtrack featuring the works of famed composer, Nobuo Uematsu, who is well-known for his music in the Final Fantasy games. Volume 1’s bonus content includes textless OP and ED, while Volume 2 contains a never before seen episode, exclusive to the Blu-ray release. Pre-orders start today with Volume 1 available on May 15, 2018 and Volume 2 on July 17, 2018. GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation follows the adventures of the bright-eyed protagonist, Gran, who sets off on an epic voyage after an encounter with a mysterious girl named Lyria. “Where this show shines is in the small interactions of its characters,” writes Rebecca Silverman of Anime News Network in a 2017 review. “In terms of character relationships, Granblue Fantasy has mastered showing rather than telling.” Much of that can be credited to the series’ truly veteran all-star cast consisting of Yuuki Ono (DURARARA!! x 2, VALVRAVE the Liberator), Nao Toyama (NISEKOI, The Asterisk War), Rie Kugimiya (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Persona4 the Golden ANIMATION), Miyuki Sawashiro (Fate/Apocrypha, Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale-), and Hiroaki Hirata (God Eater, Sword Art Online series).

Whereas the figure of the cyborg is predominantly pervasive in cinematic science fiction, the Japanese popular imagination of cyborgs not only crosses cinematic genre boundaries between monster, disaster, horror, science fiction, and fantasy but also crosses over to the medium of animation. In regard to the academic research on Japanese cinema and animation, there is a serious gap in articulating concepts such as live-action film, animation, gender, and the cyborg.
