I wish toei would go back to making fairy tale adaptations. The little mermaid and swan lake were so good.

Been kinda in a Mood for some Tchaikovsky Mood (most likely for some Swan Lake) even after re-watching some Childhood Adaptations of the Ballet like Swan Princess or even the Famous Barbie version (even if I did finally see Toei's version from Last Year and even Black Swan), this kinda inspired Me to do my own personal interpretations of The Two Mirror Swans (Odette and Odile).

I might even do their own Swan forms one day perhaps if I'm gonna do the Whole Swan Lake Character interpretations (like Siegfried or Rothbart).

Here's some trivia for Cutie Honey episode 16: “From the Casino with Love.”

Screenwriter: Keisuke Fujikawa

Art Director: Mataharu Urata

Animation Director: Satoshi Jingu

Director: Kozo Morishita

The title for this episode is a parody of the 1963 film, From Russia with Love.

Honey and friends visit the fictional kingdom of Manaco, which is based on the real-life Principality of Monaco. The casino featured in the episode appears to be inspired by the famous Monte Carlo Casino as well.

The King’s name is Hemmings II, which is only mentioned in the episode preview. He’s voiced by the late Sanji Hase, who would go on to voice Goemon later on in the series. He had also previously voiced a Panther subordinate in episode 11.

The unnamed royal adviser was voiced by the late Eken Mine, who also voices Dr. Kisaragi in this episode, filling in for Joji Yanami. He previously did voice work for Mahou no Mako-chan and Genshi Shonen Ryu.

A few musical cues were borrowed from Taichiro Kosugi’s soundtrack for the original Cyborg 009 films and TV series. 

The music that plays during Spin Claw’s dance performance is “The Flight of Swans” from  Tchaikovsky’s score for the Swan Lake ballet. This specific rendition was used numerous times in Cyborg 009, specifically in scenes featuring Francoise aka Cyborg 003, who is also a ballerina.

This episode marks the directorial debut of Kozo Morishita. He previously worked as an assistant director for the first episode but was not given credit. Morishita would go on to direct Saint Seiya and later become the executive vice president of Toei Animation.

That's all for episode 16!

so a friend informed me of the 1981 Toei animated adaptation of Swan Lake and how its depiction of Rothbart is up my alley and OH BOY HOW RIGHT THEY WERE

he’s cute as hell. what a total goddamn dope he is.

(also wtf apparently another friend had told me about it a couple of years ago but I just plain forgot about it h)

Toei swan lake. Smallest fandom.

Toei Odette and Odile wedding

Witching hour ~☆~ she's mine you can't have her theme, 12am to 2am, March 14, the place called Swan Lake closest to you (eg in Victoria BC there's a marsh called swan lake). A stroll around the lake at midnight, exchanging vows, ending with a binding ceremony in a moonlit glade...there's just nothing more romantic feeling than being a hot bluehaired witch's mindslave so you can mirror her to placate her sense of narcissistic entitlement. Odette marries Odile wearing the black gown from the ball (fig1, left side), and Odile is basically in her own regular ensemble (fig2, left side). (Fig3 on the right shows a multipanel comic retelling toei's 1981 classic if Odile hadn't been jealous of Odette, but of the guys; owl Odile and human Odette make an oath-based plan, Odette storms the ball to steal Odile from Siegfried, loves the dress, wears it home, & laughs at all the guys for being oafish--to the delight of Odile, seen in her human form finally, amused and relaxed in the castle with Odette.)

Head empty, only able to obsess about Toei's animation Swan Lake's Odile!!!

[felisarcana]

it's really interesting seeing a bunch of new people suddenly introduced to the toei version of swan lake, 40 years after it was released
