Surprise bitch! Bet you thought you had seen the last of me!
I be like…
That’s right guys, Tumblr wasn’t lying! The beloved best ever segment on AKBINGO! is frikkin back next week! And Lord as my witness after seeing the preview myself I…WAS THAT XXXX’s voice with Mion there?!!!
FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU
Thank you good Lord! I was going to cry tears of sorrow if it had been this so called Next gen (More like Now Gen the way they are taking over everything these days. They are everywhere srsly!) But no! It looks like THEY are back! And is that JuJuJuJuJu I spied there towards the end?!
Air, I need air!
And as I was crying wondering what my Maachun is up to, here she is too in the audience as well. Life – How better could it get?!
I’ve learned in my experience that when a movie opens with a crime scene you best go forth as if you are barefoot and the ground before you is filled with shattered glass. That’s how I approached this Japanese version of Roommate and friend, was I ever glad! When I say the Japanese version I mean that there is an English version as well which interestingly came before this one. And yes, I watched that too when it came out but I did not enjoy it. It’s probably to do with the fact that I wasn’t that into crazy lesbian characters at the time and frankly this is way superior even story wise.
This movie is a bit confusing if this is the first time you have seen movies with this kind of story structure but if you are aware of it and know how to follow along, the build up is kind of straight forward, until the very end when even the experts are forced to re-watch the movie again because of that twist la twist that finishes off the movie. It gets explained before the movie ends but even with the explanation I was still left blank like pieces were missing. Even upon re-watching I was still left a bit confused.
Let’s begin with this oh so Japanese movie starring Ishibashi Anna and Taketomi Seika. Just mentioning those two names should get everyone already tangling behind this movie’s tail and while I might understand the feelings of those who will be disappointed by this, if you have some experience in Japanese movies you will really like this even with the bit of salt that’s mixed in with the taste. But sometimes you have to add a bit of salt to fully enjoy the flavour, am I right?
But I will be honest with you dear Readers, I am not sure if I am broken but movies that have a smooth road with a GOOD END usually leave something to be desired. I don’t really know why but you will not find me re-watching such movies. I guess all these bumpy road movies have broken me completely if I prefer feel-inducing ones over smooth-sailing ones. There is a reason why I haven’t blogged about the Yes or No movies. Just saying.
I love a movie that will make me feel, it doesn’t matter if it’s rage or complete break-down levels of feels but if it will make me react and want to re-watch it later, be it a BAD END or crazy character modifications through out the movie or Directors turning into Sissies towards the end kind of movie, I love hose more. Now not to say that a happy go lucky yuri movie isn’t welcome. I used to love those when I was still a movie virgin and it won’t go away like memories of that first time you had sex…Err… Excuse me…
Keiko & Kyoko – Roommate Anna & Seika – Yume no Kayoiji
Good lord! Guys if you haven’t watched these two movies, you need to right now! Now before you go and raise your expectations to 11, let me warn you that these two movies are not 100% pure yuri and by that I mean Yes or No levels of yuri! But then again, if anybody is familiar with Japanese movies, and I am sure whoever is reading this is, 100% yuri movies from Japan are like 10 in every Century but fear not for the next best thing are these two movies! I have checked and they are both available on the net as you read this and it’s a matter of searching so no excuses!
Just watched these myself because while I got the DVD and BD a while back, I had exams and if I had watched them then I know I would not have enjoyed them to the fullest! Not to mention that every time I always watch anything I buy straight away, I am always way too hyped that I sometimes get disappointed pretty badly once I have finished. This time though, now that I am free from the horror that is college exams I can finally relax and watch my awesome purchases!
And so last night I sat through four hours of straight awesomeness and I was so hyper going to bed that when I woke up I found myself questioning whether what I saw was real or I just imagined watching them so there was one solution – I am going to watch them again tonight and post about them the next two days consecutively. Do stick around!
DAT Keiko and Kyoko though…dear Lord >.<
And I will take to opportune to once again say – Long Live Insane Lesbians!
Well, I was just going to post that vid ‘First Love’ I did all the way back onto my BG YT account but I decided to change some things all together. No idea why I did it but someone might like it any way so here goes…
