Introducing The Excellent Era~

A prequel film…featuring the first Pro-League series tournament…

[全职高手: 巅峰 荣耀] a.k.a.
[The King's Avatar: For The Glory]~

Actually…we had expected progress in the story development…

But hey this…was completely…plainly…a historical back-story…

Like…what a drastic expectation-reality-mismatch it was for us…


Song of the Day: 巅峰荣耀 - Ayanga 阿雲嘎 & 鄭雲龍

Into Professional Gaming~

Still in the world of digital fantasy…we've checked out our first Chinese animation…

Unlike [SAO] / [Log Horizon] / [Overlord]…this series is more realistic & relatable to real-life gaming culture / gamers…& well…NOT living a life within the virtual world…

[全职高手] a.k.a.
[Quanzhi Gaoshou] a.k.a.
[The King's Avatar]~

Woah we're definitely treading into unfamiliar territory here…
But well we did get over the weirdness of it all after a while…

& hey I actually like some of the gaming terms in mandarin…

Like how about a 首杀?


Song of the Day: 再起荣耀 - 小魂

Of Pirates & Treasure-Hunting~

But it's not a [One Piece] film…& who needs devil fruits when there's a genie cat?

[映画ドラえもん のび太の宝島] a.k.a.
[Doraemon the Movie: Nobita's Treasure Island]

Wow…wasn't expecting much from this film…but it's very nice~
Seriously…not a fan of Doraemon but this story's good indeed~

It's nice to see Japanese kids in the theatre as well - how rare~


Song of the Day: ここにいないあなたへ - Hoshino Gen 星野源

From Seoul To Busan~

It's a special movie marathon night @ GV featuring zombies from Korea!

Even the design of the "entrance" of the hall as well as the "guest appearances" at the "entrance" of the hall are "special"…although I must add that it being "special" does not in any way imply that it's deemed as "favorable" to me…may this be clear~

First up was the prequel - the South Korean zombie animated film at 9pm:

[서울역] a.k.a. [Seoul Station]~

Followed by the sequel - the South Korean zombie live-action film at 10.55pm:

[부산행] a.k.a. [Train To Busan]~

& our conclusion at 1am: Thrilling is the right word to describe both films…
I also completely understand now - those good reviews I've heard for them~

Incidentally…in less than 12 hours later…we got on a train to Bishan~ LOL!

& I got myself a present after lunch!

Piece of the Day: Run! - Jang Young-gyu 장영규

The Monster In Paris~

The 2011 French computer-animated musical comedy fantasy adventure film:

[A Monster In Paris]~

Had been wanting to watch this film for a while now…but could not find the French version of the film with subs online anywhere…so finally made a decision today to just make do with the English version since it's a completely original one as well~

What a sweet child-like & delightfully imaginative story…melodiously created!

& now the little regret begins…
[A Monster in Paris] should really have been watched as [Un Monstre à Paris]!

At least for the first time!


Song of the Day: La Seine - Vanessa Paradis
```Elle sort de son lit…
```Tellement sûre d'elle…
```La seine…la seine…la seine```

Translation:
```She's resplendent…
```So confident…
```The seine…the seine…the seine```

Stretch Out Round Hands~

& give a round of applause for:

[Stand By Me ドラえもん]~

Guess that marks the end to a show familiar to probably every other local kid whose childhood took place in the 90s?

Anyway I'm just thankful for original versions! Originals mean no dubbing!

I stand by subs!
