#TG movie spoilers

[kryptonitejelly]

apparently i looked visibly stressed throughout this whole movie (but i say, as one should)

whoever put together the soundtrack for this show, you just, wow.

Oppenheimer: “I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.”

[bixels]

Now that Ghibli's new movie is coming out soon, I've been thinking about anime films and wanna talk about my favorite animated movie ever, Tokyo Godfathers.

TG is a 2003 tragicomedy by Satoshi Kon, following three unhoused people––an alcoholic, a runaway girl, an a trans woman––who find a baby in a dumpster and set off across Tokyo to reunite her with her parents.

If you like the sound of that, go watch it because the rest of this post is spoilers and I have FEELINGS about this movie.

URGHH, the fact that only two moments of true kindness, generosity, and care given to the three protagonists without any expectation of reciprocity are given by a Latin-American immigrant couple and a drag club full of queens and trans women. The fact that, despite her loud and dramatic personality, Hana is the glue that holds the team together and the heart of the whole movie. The fact that this movie pulls no punches at showing the violence and inhumanity committed by "civilized Japanese society" against the unhoused. The fact that Miyuki craves to be loved by her parents and ends up seeing Hana as her true mother. The fact that Miyuki starts off accidentally using transphobic language against Hana, but slowly begins calling her "Miss Hana" out of respect. The fact that, according to Kon, Hana's role in the story is as a mythological trickster god and "disturb the morality and order of society, but also play a role in revitalizing culture." The fact that Hana so desperately wants to be part of a true family, yet is willing to sacrifice her found family so they can be with their own, and is rewarded for her good deeds in the end by becoming a godmother. The fact that, throughout the movie, wind and light have been used to signify the presence of god's hand/influence (this movie's about nondenominational faith––faith in yourself, faith in others, faith in a higher power. Lots of religious are referenced, such as Buddhism/Hinduism, Christianity, and Shintoism), and in the climax of the film, as Hana jumps off a building to save a baby that isn't hers, a gust of wind and a shower of light save her from death. The fact that god saves a trans woman's life because she proved herself a mother, and that shit makes me CRY.

(me guys. it was me.)

and im just so emotionally scarred. genuinely dont think i can recover from that wtf. i still cant believe they all died. goodnight.

viewing other media containing criminal minds actors because i ran out of criminal minds to watch

part 1: The Inheritance (1997) with thomas gibson

viewed on: tubi

film rating: 6/10

actor in other media giggles: 11/10

well, what can I say except this movie was Certainly made in 1997? (this is not a serious review, if you can’t tell.)

now for starts, i have never read the book this was based on, but consulted a literarily minded friend for this review, who was horrified. apparently the setting was changed from England to the US and the timing was changed by like 30 years? So not entirely sure what the point of that was.

as for the movie, with as few spoilers as possible:

an orphaned companion raised like a daughter (cari shayne) falls in love with the suitor (james) (thomas gibson) for a evil cousin of the family she works for, and they ride horses together and do cute shit, and they will-they-won’t-they all day long and no spoilers… but you know what happens.

did i like this movie? yes? it wasn’t great. but it was okay. and the giggles about mr didn’t-smile-for-13-seasons-of-television playing the romantic novel heartthrob were plenty enough for me. there was plenty of up-down-up-down-up, i definitely wasn’t bored, even if it certainly had it’s cringe moments.

i think it would have looked better in black and white, but a shoutout to the absolutely epic dresses throughout!

and now the part all of y’all are actually here for… young tg in a victorian suit

Until Next Time!

Day 3! Woo!

NICE FUCKING GOING JOHN. I can't blame him though this inventory card system seems like a fucking nightmare.

That rug is so cute I want it so bad. John's dad has great interior design skills, also nice fucking straight razor. Those things scare the shit out of me my hands are too shaky.

EW CRINGE CHICK FLICKS. I've not unironically heard that term in like a decade. Also John I feel like you need to explore your feelings more because you literally have an entire section of your wall dedicated to one hot man.

Mr. Godhead what the fuck does that even mean. How do you break your leg on a puppy and why would that help you get girls WHAT DOES THAT MEAN.

Also don't be homophobic John's gotta realize his feelings on his own.

FUCK YOU TG NIC CAGE IS FUCKING COOL. IN 2023 LITERALLY EVERYONE LIKES NIC CAGE! EAT HIS HEART JOHN

Was Hussie just really into programming at this time?? Like maybe that was his day job or like a hobby at the time. I have no idea since I'm trying to stay as spoiler free as I can.

Baby put that down. Tiny baby should not have something so fucking sharp.

BABY NO. THIS IS WHAT I WARNED ABOUT.

Dude your dad is gonna be so mad your room is fucking wrecked. Also I really wonder if this is going to be used later to just machine gun objects at someone, this is so dangerous.

I have no idea what this movie reference is but where are these children getting all of these obscure authentic movie props???

TT writes like a fucking freak, kinda adore that about her even if I have no idea what she just said.

This loading screen is so funky I love this, I feel like if this was made today it would have been Jungle music. It's just got that vibe

This game concept is so bizarre. This is just sims IRL.

Also John's house makes no fucking sense. That chimney position is bizarre and does the door to the deck just come from John's room? Also why such a huge deck when there is just a single telescope on it. Just get a fucking lawn chair out there dad.

PAGE 150! Also this really is just the sims. I'm glad John can just make his own ugly dream house now.

Thanks to anyone that ever reads this! Till next time!

tagging spoilers is funny.

with a movie, i woud be tagging spoilers for like at least a year. i think its bcs i know some people would rather wait until its out on streaming.

with an original series, i would be tagging spoilers because its recent, but like only a couple of weeks recent. its made out of shorter pieces, easier to consume in a busy schedule, so i would assume people would watch it quicker.

with an adaptation series (mostly in case for anime and manga) i would never tag anime spoiler and i would tag manga spoilers up until the point that its adapted. bcs anime onlys exist. i dont bother tagging spoilers right after an episode is released, youre already playing catch up.

with an original weekly series (manga, webcomics, etc) i would just tg spoiler for a week. or until another chapter came out.

How was Touka’s actress?

She was good, and I think really matched the action sequences. The actress has done action series before, and it really showed through in her power and fierce attitude.

Bonus was Touka getting her own subplot, with her trying to push Yoriko away to protect her. It reminds me a bit of their novel story, "Bento". And it let Touka have her own arc, struggling with balancing her dual lives and Kimi's lack of fear giving Touka the courage to make amends with Yoriko.

Tokyo Ghoul Liveaction

To everyone who sent an ask on how/where I got to watch the movie, I watched it today via a local cinema theater here in Japan. o/ I don’t think there’s a copy available online as of the moment but please do look forward to the BD/DVD release. o/

The movie in general reaches all the way until the end of Hinami arc (Kureo and Ryouko’s death). No mention of Gourmet arc. No implications of a sequel. 

This post will contain spoilers from the movie. 

There are two points that I would like to start with:

The movie is meant to be watched more than once.

The content of the movie is pretty loyal to the manga save for a number of things.

As much as I’d love to watch the movie again, I don’t think I’ll be able to do so anytime soon. Anyhows, there’s a lot of small details packed into the movie such as numbers (there was a XIII with a scythe on a wall), clocks pointed at certain times, calendars and flowers.

I’m pretty sure there were more details I’ve missed but I’ll just have to wait for an official release to make sure. ;u;

The CG work and BGM are very impressive. The kagunes are all shown to be alive and most definitely, deadly to the touch. Touka’s kagune is portrayed as something that appears liquid rather than gas-like in the manga/anime. 

Easter Eggs and stuff:

I’m not 100% sure on this but I think you get to see the titles of Takatsuki Sen’s works. All 7 of them. 

Hajime, as a child, appears and meets Amon.

In the scene where Kaneki reads a book to Hinami, he reads to her Demian by Hesse instead of Takatsuki’s book.

Similar to the anime, Hinami’s dad (also referred to as 696) was killed recent in the timeline. 

Nishiki ripped his pants when he used his kagune.

Kaneki never trained with Yomo. He trained with Touka until they had to go after Amon and Kureo.

Hide knowing whether Kaneki is a Ghoul or not is not clear at all in the movie. He sort of got hurt after the Nishiki incident and didn’t show up much after. But, we do see him trying to stop Nishiki by holding onto the hem of his pants.

We don’t see Furuta dropping the beams. :,) No silhouette whatsoever.

I’m not 100% sure about this but Amon does wear the cross necklace. It doesn’t seem too obvious in some scenes but it glistens when he fights Kaneki.

After the fight with Amon, Kaneki just manages to go back to normal after seeing his reflection in a pool of blood. No Yomo to the rescue.

In the manga, Kaneki ends up staring at Rize’s chest. However, in the movie, Kaneki stares at her lips. Ironically, Rize kisses Kaneki on the lips before she tries to eat him.

The ending credits is also very interesting. All the kagunes, as well as quinques and important items are drawn with blood on a black background.

No TG:re references.

There are jumpscares. :,)

Kaneki rode on top of Nishiki and Amon. Someone stop him.

All in all, I personally think the movie is something you can look forward to. Since it is a liveaction, some parts can make you squeamish and it nicely portrays the horror and struggles of being a Ghoul and a human-dominated world. 

It could feel lacking for some but it’s an enjoyable movie on its own packed with interesting content.

My Friend stages of grief during the TG movie

Her:*sees wedding ring, sees Amon crying over Mado’s body* I FUCKING KNEW IT THEY WERE MARRIED.

*Five minutes later when gravestone revealed*

Her: GOSH DAMN IT

[coromoor]

I've just watch this video youtube(.)com/watch?v=HlRZqYkGGbk In 19:15 scene, Hinami asked Kaneki what kanji is, he said "shuu" and Touka's react is so hilarious :)) she's totally same as Kanekis joked in c144: she's bad at Japanese. Btw, there are more scene different with offical trailer, those made Fumika more like Touka. I regret with her career now, she is Touka and Touka is her.

YES that was one of my favourite scenes- if I can remember right it went

Hinami: onee-chan what does this word mean?Touka: *takes a look* ahhhhmm... Touka: *turns to Kaneki* you tell her!Kaneki: ahh it’s “shuu” it means a sudden downpourTouka: yeah that’s right!Hinami: you didn’t know what it meant either savage Hina with one hit KO

I’m sad too, she really made an amazing Touka but hey, who knows if there will even be a sequel movie :’)

Tokyo Ghoul Live Action

I got to watch the Tokyo Ghoul movie yesterday at a local cinema, a bit of a rarity in my country! I wanted to write a few of my thoughts and observations (mostly the latter) before I forget anything.

A few things might have been touched upon in @makyun ’s own writeup, so I suggest checking hers out as well. 

The movie spans chapters 1-28, right up to the Anteiku crew leaving the scene of Kureo’s death. Chapter 29, the final chapter of volume 3 where Amon reminisces about his time with Kureo, is not included. 

Extremely spoilery spoilers ahead.

I will not make a linear summary of the movie, but this does go heavily into spoilers. Unless you a) can't watch it b) won't watch it c) don't mind spoilers, I recommend skipping the first section.

My sister and her boyfriend watched the movie with me, so I was able to discuss with people who don’t know the series.

Thoughts on events and changes

The movie starts out with a narration about what ghouls are and how they became a threat to Tokyo, and how the CCG came to be. It sounds like a very much like a narration of the past. No mention of OEK, Washuus, or RC cells (I think?). 

RC cells, kagunes, kakuhous, quinques, aren’t explained at all because there’s a sense of normalcy about them. (My sister called kagunes “quinques,” actually.) Ghoul regeneration is subtly explained by Touka just by saying to fight without fear because it’s possible.

I though the film did much better than the manga at showcasing just how cunning an investigator Mado was, and how good Amon was at following his lead. 

To go further in depth, when killing (Fueguchi) Asaki, whose kagune we get to see on screen, Amon cracks open his hands with a rock (thankfully offscreened) and retrieves his wedding ring, which serves to Mado/Amon to figure he has a wife (Mado refuses to say a "wife" and corrects the term with "aging companion" or something). Their only lead is a thread of a woman's dress, for which they track down its selling place and retrieve their security tapes. Ryouko is pinned down as a main suspect due to being out at midnight to visit Asaki's grave, confirmed a ghoul when seeing her ring, and speculated to have a child due to the dress she purchased being XS. 

As such, the scene with Kaneki and Touka going to the CCG is completely gone, and Hinami isn't identified as “the girl with clover clothing” either.

It’s made very clear that Hinami running away from Anteiku was a trap set up by Mado. 

Amon fights head on and is very work oriented. There’s the rock scene mentioned above, but also him getting his hands dirty to dig Asaki’s grave, and saying he had eaten kitsune (udon?) just because it was quick when he goes out for dinner with Kusaba. Kusaba sort of apologizes for taking his time by ordering fresh fried tempura and Amon said he would try it next time. ;v;

Kaneki is also already suspected to be a ghoul - at Hinami's request, he goes leave coffee beans at Asaki's grave, and because Ryouko had been spotted at that place, Kusaba was keeping watch. He helps Amon dig up Asaki's grave, and is pulled along investigations because he was the only one who had seen Kaneki. So Amon knows of the existence of an eyepatch ghoul, but it isn't certain whether he's aware he's the one he's fighting once their confrontation comes.

The scene with Nishiki, Hide, and Kaneki happens inside the University, in a sort of basement that’s used as a club room. I wonder how they could ever explain that... Hide still tries to hold Nishiki back. Once he uses a kagune, Kaneki is clearly stronger than Nishiki, but he eventually defeats him with wits before Touka arrives (with Yomo!). As a side note here, I thought it was really interesting how Nishiki uses his kagune very naturally for things such as elevating himself into a platform instead of using the stairs. Also, the strength of a ghoul's body is shown here with Kaneki's first attacks without a kagune, rather than with Kaneki trying to stab himself.

Speaking of that scene, Kaneki did try to eat Hide and licked his face or something. Rize also did this once Kaneki had been injured. There was a scene with eye liking somewhere but I can’t remember who that was. Both scenes did a good job of showing a ghoul's unrestrained hunger.

When trying to eat Hide, Kaneki sees his reflection as Rize instead of as himself. 

In Kaneki's and Amon's fight, Kaneki comes back to his senses by himself after seeing his reflection in a pool of blood...

And regarding that scene, Amon isn't wearing an eyepatch, but a drop/tear of blood from Kaneki's kakugan eye does fall directly from Kaneki's eye onto Amon's eyelid, where he does wear the eyepatch after the fight with Kaneki. Make what you will out of that.

Easter eggs + random observations

Hide's famous ugly drawing does make it into the movie, but in a different scene (also, I started crying, don't ask).

Hajime's scene as a small child is in, but he doesn't have his ID tag.

CCG investigators have a small pin they wear on their lapels like they do in the manga, but the design looks more like a circle with wings than the small button-like one in the manga.

Amon does have the cross. You can see the lighter beads/chain, but the cross itself is hard to spot as it's black. As a side note, my sister is a jeweler and said it might be hematite. It is identical in design to the one in chapter 134. As my sister showed me at home, a hematite cross is apparently a thing we own. Other candidates: tungsten/wolfram, but not particularly popular in jewelry; rhodium, apparently a pain in the ass to work with; obsidian, but very frail and would be rare outside of the Americas.

While I did say Hinami wasn't associated with clovers by the CCG, I believe her headband had them.

There is a flashback of Kaneki with his mother. He was a very cute child. When his mother dies, there are flowers inside the casket (I can’t remember, but they might have been daisies).

The reference to The Metamorphosis is in. When Kaneki is realizing he can't eat human food, a bug is seen in place of Kaneki's shadow right before his kakugan activates.

Hinami is reading Demian instead of Monochrome Rainbow.

Sister's observations on literary references: Kaneki mentions Dear Kafka to Rize before the scene with The Metamorphosis is in. Kaneki remarks on Hinami reading Hesse before explaining the analogy of the egg and the world to her. (Basically, my sister is saying the references were so in your face you were supposed to spot them.)

Amon visits Kureo's grave to leave lilies. Ryouko (probably) had planted a lily bud too where Asaki's grave was located.

On the Mado grave, Kureo is stated to have died at 41, Kasuka at 33. Given the timeline of events, I believe this makes Kasuka around two years older. Forget it, I tried to make sense of that here. Also, Akira would've been 21 at this point.

Visual effects + more random observations

Rize is ten times more beautiful moving on screen than you can see on the still shots.

I'll have you know Kaneki bit a sandwich vertically instead of horizontally. (That might be normal somewhere, just not for me.)

Amon drives a very unthreatening looking black SUV, which gets completely wrecked.

The CCG has very interesting, stark white, training/sparring rooms. We are blessed with the sight of training Amon.

The masks look more fitting to real life than the ones in the manga, and Touka's showed signs of wear.

Anteiku looked like a very real, upscale coffee shop, with the kind of cute coffee-related signs you'd usually see in one.

Kagunes seem to be alive and pulsing. Rize's/Kaneki's is kind of scaly and the scales sometimes move with a kind of shiver/twitch. Nishiki's feels very amphibious. Asaki's is a pretty terrifying spine-looking thing (stating the obvious here) with sharp blades on its sides and end. Ryouko's looks like raw muscles/tendons. (Hinami's, of course, are both). Touka's is pretty interesting - a solid wing that shoots off shards. It looks like red candy.

Quinques come in a beautiful black suitcase and expand from the handle. When out of the suitcase, they produce a sort of mechanical buzz.

Doujima 1/2 can activate three spinning sections (two spin in one direction, the middle one in the opposite), but it mostly seems to work with the raw strength of whoever's wielding it to deliver strong blows, as it doesn't have sharp elements to cut. Just how strong was Harima?

We don’t get to hear about Shinohara, Arima, or Juuzou, who I believe had shown up / been mentioned in the first volumes.

Overall thoughts 

The movie is 119 minutes long, but I really enjoyed it movie overall and I feel it's worth the time, even if you're a pretty picky viewer. I found the way the events developed to be very well resolved as an adaptation, and despite instances where the CGI does seem to go slightly down in quality, it wasn't distracting at all. 

A thing to keep in mind is that Japanese (specifically, live action) acting and cinematography is somewhat different than what you’d expect from Hollywood or European art films, so I just suggest letting yourself get immersed in it instead of getting caught in these subtleties. 

As a manga reader, it felt a bit slow paced to me, but as fresh viewers, my sister and her boyfriend thought it was very good at packing the exact amount of information needed, and thus it didn't feel slow to them. My sister also said the first half is excellent and has the feeling of the Japanese horror stories I've made her read. I am pretty used to gore in the story, but neither of us thought felt it was there as shock factor alone and she said it was sufficient to make you buy into the horror of the situation. All in all, all three of us really enjoyed it. /o/
