Lazy Sunday morning, the usual tired but can’t sleep, so went around finding things to read, had heard some stuff with regards to Fate/Stay Night, so was reading up the Wikipedias and other links, hmm not bad, there was a subplot hidden within the anime and it was quite interesting to read it now and thinking of the hints that were dropped in the show. The anime was evolved from a Hentai game and wow, reading up the Wiki on it made me impressed that a sex game actually have multiple story arcs (3), and each of them uniquely different from one another to be interesting on its own, without the sex element coming into play. The story that got me interested was about time paradoxes which is seemingly popping up everywhere, be in Heroes, Time Traveller’s Wife, End of Eternity and even an anime such as this. Guess many of us are not satisfied with the present to warrant a wish to step into the past, to modify what was once there, or to determine the future…
From there, with the Transformers movie coming, went on to read about Transformers through wiki as well. Well, a little nostalgia tends to set in as rows of the new movie memorabilia/toys start to line up the shelves. It was like, the best cartoon then! and erm.. ever! Launched on 1984, the year that we were born, it had like 3 or 4 seasons, a movie, tons of toys.. which were really the best, haha. There were subsequent stories or spin offs, beast wars, 2000, and all the Japanese versions but the original season was definitely the best. My favourite character.. Optimus Prime, a bit boring la, being the Autobot leader and all, but erm, still the most cool / composed / zai / best looking!
… The evolution of Optimus Prime ..
… 21st Century Look …
Still prefer the old chunky robot version as opposed to the more organic looking prime now. Even the classic generation 1 toy still bear close similarity to the cartoon version, but the recent Takara release really looks the best. Well, the movie version of Prime doesn’t look all that bad, at least still recognisable as perhaps compared to megatron, who’s ermm, totally different? A new interpretation of the classic cartoon, still a must watch to relive some of the childhood memories.
Autobots, transform.. and roll out!
I want to time travel, back to my childhood, revisiting the moments, reliving them…
