Hopefully this is the true end.
Because if the next mecha sniper I like gets killed off...
...Well, I haven't thought that far.
I want Lockon, Kurz and Michel back!!!Well, finally got to the end of 08, also known as the Year of Dead Mecha Snipers. You want to know the most coincidental thing? They were all my number one favourite characters in their respective series (now taken over by Tieria, Sousuke and Sheryl/Canaria). Hopefully 09 wont throw me into a similar loop.
And there'll be
Hetalia anime!! *Squee* I must admit that I'm biased because I love how the Nordic countries are portrayed in the webmanga.
This year was also known as the Year of Comic Book Movies, with Batman, The Hulk, Hellboy, Iron-Man and probably a few I forgot got their own movies. I wont comment on them much because I haven't watched them.
Next year they're doing Watchmen, a group of superheroes I only know by name, as I haven't read anything about them. However, visiting Scans_daily on LJ can make you WTF at what's coming now:
Witchblade and Red Sonja are slated for their own movie releases in 09. Yeah. Those two books that's about big-breasted women in metal bikini thongs waving around gigantic swords/claws/weapons/whatever.
WTF Marvel?! She-Hulk, Shadowcat and Ms. Marvel would have been a better choice over Red Sonja. But that's maybe because I envision a Ms. Marvel origin story would make a good movie. (Daughter goes against father's wishes and becomes a fighter pilot, crashes where a UFO's been sighted and subjected to radiation, gets powers and has to stop aliens from taking over the world...)
Ah well, at least I have Hetalia, Slayers Evolution-R and Gundam 00 (but without Lockon ;_;) to look forward to.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
