Sentai and Libraries
Jun. 26th, 2013 02:42 pmSo, I'm about 1/3 of the way through Gokaiger now. Technically, if I only watched different episodes, I'd be a fair amount further, but last night I ended up introducing a friend of mine to the series instead. It was certainly worthwhile. >D
Part of me really wants to know who the heck does the costuming for this series. And how they find people who feel comfortable doing acrobatics in very boxy outfits. ...and have for so many years.
One thing I'll say about the movie's production is that it's a little jarring when they pull out stock footage from original series for battle attacks. That being said, seeing so many sentai in one place at the same time is certainly VERY epic. (and would make for one heck of a flashmob idea. Because THINK OF THE COSPLAY POTENTIAL.)
It's also really cool seeing a bunch of the actors from the older seasons -- part of me is now giggling and wondering what the eventual 50th season will be like and how many cameos and homages they will have there. (Or the 52nd -- literally one per episode.)
As for the series itself and plot -- I am enjoying it thus far. And am definitely going to need to get my hands on the last DVD sometime in the near-ish future so I can watch the last several episodes. (Still have a good amount to watch before then, but still.) For at least the second time (if not more), I find that my friends really do understand me and my style: Doc really is easily becoming my favourite character, and the one I best relate to. (And was the one they suggested I cosplay BEFORE I STARTED WATCHING THE SERIES).
This happened with Gundam Wing too. Something about people thinking I would make a good Quatre, and then shoving the series at me. Not only do I love him, but I am related to the historical personage on which he was loosely inspired. (And for anyone who is interested, I have a lot of amusing stories relating to Gundam Wing cosplay. Unless you are my 1-5, Hilde, or Miss Relena, in which case you probably already know all of them. Or most of them.)
And now that I've dorked for a bit....
I'm feeling the pull of someone or something directing me today, in a good direction. I'm hoping I'm right.
Nothing major, but... I decided to look up some games that I could take out from the local library for a family get together in a few weeks. While there, I discovered that there is an hour-long meeting about the future of the library going on tonight, and that there was still spots available to register. I don't actually know if I have anything to say, but as someone who is trying to get a library job, hearing what others have to say, and what sort of things members of the public may be interested in... actually is a really good thing for me to know. So, I'm off to the library tonight!
Hopefully I'll have some more job interviews (and an accompanying job offer and awesome work times) in the near future. But in the meantime, even a small step and the feeling that I might be going in the right direction is good. I like that this is something that's immediate action and (seemingly) out of nowhere for me. And I'm going for it. :)
Plus, it gets me out of the house for an hour or two, which is something that I really need to work on doing more often. I'm definitely starting to be too much of a homebody. ...and gives me an opportunity to pick up some books that I'd like to borrow if they're in.....
...I feel like giving a rant on my feelings of things falling into place at certain times right now, but I think I'll save that for another post. In the meantime... job applications and Chopped. Yay?
