velshtein: (JONATHAN DIO only for a moment)
Aaaaah my copy of Rohan at the Louvre finally arrived. Which Araki drew for this Lourve exhibit eeeee so neat:
Louvre Museum in France has been holding an exhibition "Cartoons - The Louvre invites comic-strip art" and displaying original drawings of comic artists based on the artistic works and the exhibition rooms of the museum. Araki Hirohiko ("JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" ) was chosen as a representative of Japanese manga artists along the other famous comic artists such as Nicolas de Crécy, Marc-Antoine Mathieu, Éric Liberge and Bernard Yslaire. The exhibition will be held until April 13th.


Anyways it's a short one-shot story (128 pages in beautiful color!) and had an official english release so I got it:

velshtein: (JONATHAN DIO sleepy night)
Caught up with Zetsuen no Tempest! I really like it a lot. Psycho-Pass is higher on my list because I'm more emotionally invested in the characters than Zetsuen's. BUT. Zetsuen is so much fun to watch. It's draining though and the tension kind of kills me. I love how creepy all the disconcerting details that Yoshino notices are (it reminds me a bit of the horror and weirdness a character feels if they realize they're just characters in a book or something), I love how despite Mahiro and Yoshino being the main characters the story is really about Hakaze and Aika, and I love how the plot twists genuinely kind of freak me out. ALSO I REALLY REALLY REALLY ADORE ALL THE HAMLET QUOTING. It's definitely my favorite thing that Shakespeare ever wrote and the idea of Yoshino being the Horatio to Mahiro's Hamlet tickles my fancy. ♥
