Prophecies of Nostradamus, Toho's most controversial disaster film, turns 50 today. Survivors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing protested its scenes of monstrous humans poisoned by radiation; while Toho trimmed those moments partway through its theatrical run, it hasn't been shown in Japan since 1980. A genuinely prophetic scene, in which an earthquake destroys the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, all but guarantees Toho's self-imposed ban will remain in effect indefinitely.

The only way to watch the uncut film today is a shoddy-looking bootleg of a master that Toho prepared in 1986 for a VHS and LaserDisc release but decided not to use (much like Half Human). It's a fascinating look into the concerns of the day—overpopulation, global cooling, and even the psychological hazards of large cities among them. The back half is packed with haunting imagery as the consequences of rampant industrial growth fall upon Jspan one after another. The people despair, riot, kill themselves and each other, all to that haunting, whistling Isao Tomita score. Unfortunately, the film is also overwritten, full of lectures about humanity's excesses from Tetsuro Tamba's Dr. Nishiyama. It didn't need to be 114 minutes long.

As a mid-70s Toho tokusatsu film, Prophecies of Nostradamus naturally has plenty of staff and cast overlap with the Godzilla series. Yoshimitsu Banno of Godzilla vs. Hedorah fame was the associate director and co-wrote the script; Teruyoshi Nakano directed the special effects; and Takashi Shimura, Akihiko Hirata, Hiroshi Koizumi, and Katsuhiko Sasaki all have small roles. It's well worth watching if you're intrigued by the idea of those folks working on a much bleaker sci-fi film.

Ishura #1 - Soujiro the Willow-Sword

Screenplay: Kenta Ihara Storyboard: Takeo Takahashi Episode Direction: Takuya Asaoka Chief Animation Direction: Yuka Takashina Animation Direction: Jun Yoshida, Shintarou Matsushima, Osamu Sakata, Norikatsu Nakano, Genichirou Kondou, Minami Sakura, Tatsuya Fukushima (Assistant AD: Keiichi Ishida, Eiji Shirai, Yuuki Ogawa) Key Animation: Hiroshi Yoneda, Tatsuya Takahashi, Hiroya Iijima, Jun Yoshida, Tsutomu Shibuya, Seiji Handa, Norikatsu Nakano, Yousuke Murata, Tatsuya Fukushima, Shintarou Matsushima, Osamu Sakata, Yasutoshi Iwasaki (Eyecatch F島)

Ishura was going to be a bit of a challenging anime to get right. Its well-woven and descriptive action in the novel would be difficult for a rough production to cover. The constant shift of perspectives and the slow pace at the beginning would likely make it hard to adapt. Now, we'll have to wait to see the latter part, but as for the action? I think they did a pretty damn good job.

I'm literally in school for computer animation, so I have nothing against CG, but in anime, they tend to be admittedly hit or miss. Even from the trailer, especially in specific cases like Shalk (skeleton bro), I could tell it was going to be pretty good. However, a lot of the shots of the golem in the PVs, I wasn't an extremely huge fan of, but they really do blend in a lot better than I expected in the actual episode.

I think it's mostly because of the way they did it; our 2D characters kinda look shiny themselves, they sorta have a 3D shading look to them. While opinions on this will be mixed, I think it was smart to seemingly work the other way around—getting the characters to blend in with the 3D models. It really does allow the show to have a more cohesive look, and I believe the 3D models/animation will save them from production issues later on.

I actually enjoyed this premiere significantly more than its light novel counterpart. I feel like it gave me a better liking to Sojirou, who, in my opinion, had the weakest introduction chapter by far. Seeing his excellent voice acting by Yuuki Kaji and all the mannerisms executed so well really sell his 'I don't really give a shit' attitude that greatly infuriates Yuno. I'm very excited to see more.

It would be very curious to see if the action can keep up. The episode was directly boarded by the chief director, Takeo Takahashi who did an amazing job here, but I'm doubtful that he will return just because he has Spice and Wolf to manage April of this year. So we'll have to see how the action flow without him. I'm eager to know the episode count because there's no way they can keep up with this one-episode-per-introduction pace unless it's a 2-cour series. Either way, I enjoyed the debut episode a lot as a light novel reader, and I'll be here next week for more.

Ten Films I LOVE

tagged by my comedy partner in crime, the tsukkomi to my boke; @zurdoabsurdo

Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl (1999 dir. Katsuhiro Ishii) This is my movie. Movie of all time. Rotten Tomatoes can eat my ass with their 25% rating. A yakuza on the run for stealing from the boss from a wacko cast of assassins with a clever girl in tow. It's what Tarantino wishes he could make.

Heat (1995 dir. Michael Mann) I mean, come on. AlPacino, Robert DeNiro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Ashely Judd, Mykelti Williamson? This movie could not fail even if that was the goal.

The Accountant (2001 dir. Ray McKinnon) It's a short film, and Ray is actually from the town I've lived in the last twenty years, so I have a soft spot for him. Ray is so captivating as an actor, and this film was something else. It's somber but still moving.

Straight Talk (1992 dir. Barnet Kellman) It's a cornball romcom, but it's DOLLY PARTON'S romcom. I love this movie to pieces. I even have one of the original movie posters. Unfortunately I have to also look at James Woods' face lol.

Tombstone (1993 dir. George P. Cosmatos) Another that's like, be serious. I love westerns and the outlaw/lawman yeehaw bullshit. You know how it is with yeehaw bullshit.

Deadland Inferno/Zアイランド (2015 Hiroshi Shinagawa) An action zombie comedy. This one is for the yakuza gworls (gn). Basic we have a plan to get to safety from zombies and hijinks ensuse. Sho Aikawa, SHINGO TSURUMI MY BABY BOY BABY, Hideo Nakano, Hitoshi Ozawa, Sawa Suzuki. So like...dead souls but you're playing as Takasugi, Sagawa, Shibusawa, and Kuze LOL

The Bridges of Madison County (1995 dir. Clint Eastwood) Romance between an older couple, bittersweet partings, it's everything. I'm a closet die hard romantic.

My Dead Dad (2021 dir. Fabio Frey) I watched this for Raymond Cruz and wasn't expecting much but it really hit me. For reasons of my own dead dad that I was estranged from, but there were so many pieces that were like snapshots of my own teens years. The skate parks and ugly fucking skate shoes, weed, sour beer. It's also beautifully shot. It was my movie of 2022.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997 dir. George Armitage) The soundtrack fucking rips. Probably one of my favorites ever. Joe Strummer put his whole pussy in it. A black comedy, John Cusack & Minnie Driver? Hot stuff

The Devil's Advocate (1997 dir. Taylor Hackford) MY GAY AWAKENING, A MOVIE I HAD NO BUSINESS WATCHING UNDER THE AGE OF TEN. I was obsessed with this movie. Tamara Tunie only had a small part man....she changed my life forever. If you love the tropes of good and evil, the devil, lawyers, Keanu Reeves with a terrible southern drawl, watch this :)

Tagging @necrotizer @coffeemakesmeahappybean @xyndario and anyone else that wants to share their favorite films <3

A running log of my thoughts watching Wrestle Kingdom 17

I thought about liveblogging as I watched WK17, but I didn’t want to risk opening the dash and getting anything spoiled for me as I didn’t block any tags. So, here’s a running (four-page) log of my thoughts and reactions while I watched that no one asked for.

New Japan Ranbo

Everyone freaking out on commentary about Douki and you know it's half ELP's fault

Kenta is such a menace omg

Respectfully, Mikey Nicholls looks like a generic create-a-wrestler

Aww Douki got eliminated before ELP came out. No chokey for you.

“Shingo Bullet Club confirmed,” bestie he’s in LIJ (side note I’m very much enjoying Gino on commentary)

Oh they got ELP doing Kofi shit out here now (“I’d like a hot cup of Kofi right now” lololol Kevin)

I’m glad they created a KOPW belt. Not crazy about that baby blue though.

 Antonio Inoki Memorial Match

I was gonna skip this match but didn’t out of respect for Inoki

Who is that tall-ass young boy, Gabriel Kidd? He’s bigger than most of the wrestlers

Okay, onto the main card!

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match

I guess United Empire is my number 2 faction now that Suzuki-gun is no more

Yoh looks weird with black hair omg. It’s better though; he must have been going to the same hairstylist as Zack with that yellow-ass hair.

Not a lot of notes for this match, sorry

IWGP Women’s Championship Match

Wasn’t expecting this match yet

Why is Nakano’s entrance gear covered in Stars of David? *looks it up* Ohhh it’s a Kagome crest, which is a Shinto symbol. I learned something new today!

Kairi is so pretty. I love her gear.

As hard as these women hit, it’s interesting to me that they have extra people to help catch dives outside the ring

Kairi best elbow drop in the biz. That match was shorter than I expected/hoped.

Oh.

So, Sasha’s appearance was accidentally spoiled for me, and I don’t really feel any type of way about it. I will say that during her entrance she looked hella in her element.

She sounds nervous, which is understandable

The only thing else I’m gonna say is I wish her good luck.

IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championship Match

UNABASHEDLY rooting for Bishamon in this match

Dax not used to getting it back this hard (phrasing)

God bless Yoshi-Hashi I thought they were about to retain off that Big Rig

Oh JFC that was a nasty spill outside the ring

These near falls are gonna kill me they’re gonna kill me before it’s 10 am here

Yassssssssssss!!!!! *Kermit flail*

Like I’m happy for FTR that they got to live their dream of wrestling at WK, but I am so fucking glad they lost

NJPW World TV Championship Match

It’s Zacky baby’s match I want him to win I want him to win so bad!!!!!

Gino “God it looks good” about Zack’s hair, no it doesn’t, don’t lie

It looks less yellow than yesterday. That lighting in the press conference room was hella yellow. Hmmm.

That ankle lock, leg bar, whatever the fuck you call it, so nasty!!!

I’m getting used to the hair the more I look at it, lemme just close my eyes

HE WON, ZACK’S FIRST SINGLES’ TITLE IN NJPW BABEYYYYYYY

Bestie why is your reaction to winning so underwhelming, you’re still going through it, aren’t you

Maybe it’s because the belt is ugly. One thing about NJPW is they’re gonna make ugly belts (I’m sorry, it’s true).

I know fuck-all about TMDK so don’t have any thoughts on that front other than that, respectfully, Mikey Nicholls looks like a generic create-a-wrestler (RIP Suzuki-gun)

NEVER Openweight Championship Match

Say what you will about Karl, but I am LIVING for this NJPW-WWE interaction, and I want more

He’s out here trying to kill Tama

That Gun Stun wasn’t the prettiest huh

I figured Karl would lose, but I really hope this isn’t the end of WWE and NJPW working together, because that’s really all I want in wrestling

Also yay for Tama, he deserves it!!!

LIJ vs. Shota Umino, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Keiji Muto

It always tickles me that LIJ gotta come out separately to their different songs because they’re a bunch of divas

Why don’t more people talk about Sanada? Prime blorbo material

Tanahashi protecting the elder from hurting himself lololol

I hate Dragon Screws, I hate them

Nice moment for Umino

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship Match

Who the fuck is making Takahashi’s entrance gear and how does he come up with this shit

@comeasyoudar I want Taiji’s coat too, we’ll steal it and take turns. He’s small, we can take him.

NJPW junior division, my beloved

THERE’S BEEN AN ALTERCATION BACKSTAGE????? IS PHIL THERE???

Naito and Umino hmmm incheresting storytelling. I honestly think NJPW needs more of that!

NJPW junior division, my beloved

BACKSTAGE UPDATE: NJPW vs NOAH shenanigans hmmmmmmmm

Lmaooo Takahashi was definitely late breaking up that pin

This was a great match, but NJPW needs more people in the junior title picture it’s been Despy, Takahashi, and Ishimori trading it off for a while now. I know COVID had a lot to do with that, so hopefully now that things are basically back to normal, hopefully there will be some fresh faces in the title hunt soon.

 IWGP U.S. Heavyweight Championship Match

So hyped for this!!!!!

Did Tanahashi do Kenny’s hair?

This music is fucking dramatic

The GOAT knee pads

This gear is pretty good as far as Kenny’s Wish tights go

Bro the exchanges between these two already, they’re so good, they’re both so good

Don calling himself an invisible hand in Kenny’s life since he was 10, dude you’re creepy

Will bouncing off the apron trying to hit that Oz Cutter, ouch.jpg

Kenny why are you taking bumps on tables like that, c’mon now

Just realized the Japanese girlies aren’t shouting “Kennnnny” like they used to

Omg that DDT on the turnbuckle brooooo that looked nasty I hope Will is okay

Not the commentators shit-talking Red Shoes for not stopping the match

Fucking hell man, these V-Triggers are making me wince

This whole match is making me wince

 It has NOT felt like 30 minutes, holy shit

Not the Styles Clash!!!!!

Ngl, kinda surprised Kenny won. He hit the One-Winged Angel and I was watching with my shocked Pikachu face like, “Is Will gonna kick out? Haters gonna be so maaaaaad”

Incredible match, and the trust these two performers had to have in each other to pull off some of these moves is insane. Yeah, they talk mad shit to each other, but there’s no doubt in my mind they respect each other.

So, so, so incredibly good and lived up to all my expectations.

 IWGP World Heavyweight Championship Match

The holographic money kimono, the hair, the pose, the determination; Okada, my beloved

Oh Jay went with the white gear huh

Gino saying that maybe only Triple H has better psychological game than Jay, God bless, I was literally thinking that as he said it

Brock Lesnar was the last gaijin to win the main event in the Tokyo Dome? Wtf

“They can chant your name now because of me!” PLEASE, Jay, omg

I love them, I want them to feud forever (but I don’t want Jay to lose here, please and thank you)

Okada is so handsome; Jay is such a rat bastard. I swear I’m so normal about them, I’m so, SO normal

Can’t get over the stark graphic visual of their black and white gear

Jesus the way Okada crumpled after that chop block to the knee scared me for a second

I am normal

Jay smirking before Okada kicked him in the head (I’m normal)

Piss off, Gedo!!!!!

Rainmaker reversed into the Bladerunner!!! Shockedpikachu.jpg

Reminder that I’m normal about these two men and their history and interconnectedness

Jay calling Okada a coward??? I want you to win this match, but I will fight you afterward

Okada is bleeding from the chops (normal)

OKADA HIT THE BLADERUNNER SHSJSAKAkashadh

!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m in a glass case of emotion

Like I wanted to Jay to retain so that the title wouldn’t bounce back to Okada; but at the same time, Okada being 1-5 against Jay would have been, with all due respect to Jay, fucking ridiculous

Soooooo *shrug*

I win either way

Because I’m normal about these two

Oh no not sad little meow meow Jay, I can’t do this again

HE’S HOLDING ONTO HIS BOOT, JAY WHY

WHAT DID HE SAY TO HIM

I AM NORMAL

Jay looks like he’s gonna cry, I actually can’t do this

I love them I want them to feud forever and ever and ever

SHINGO. I am not done PROCESSING MY EMOTIONS!!!!

Oh no now Okada’s crying talking about Inoki

Incredible, emotional, masterful, wrestling

In conclusion: I am normal.
