Tag: Japan
Recommendation: The Forbidden Kingdom
Actually a pretty good introduction to the wuxia genre.
Music to Write Realmgard to: The Lullaby of Takeda
There is, as far as I can tell, no connection between the song and famous Takeda clan of Feudal-era Japan. The lullaby and the clan are written differently in Japanese.
Recommendation: Ya Boy Kongming!
Known in the original Japanese by the superior title "Kongming of the Party People"
Music to Write Realmgard to: Matsuri
From the album Kojiki — named for the ancient Japanese mythological chronicle — Matsuri means "festival" or "holiday."
Recommendation: Inuyasha
Inu means Dog; Yasha means Demon. Any questions?
Recommendation: 47 Ronin
10/10 visuals, 5/10 script, Hiroyuki Sanada/10 casting.
Recommendation: The Chronicles of Prydain
Show. Me. The. Magic. Pig.
Recommendation: Slayers
The Aristotelian Golden Mean between the dour, epic, self-seriousness of Lodoss War and the relentless silliness of Rune Soldier
Recommendation: Record of Lodoss War
But, seriously, so Fantasy-y. Much Dragons. Some Dungeons.
