Hmm...I do love BR, but when I *attempted* to buy and read the manga, I got physically sick and had to get rid of it...

It's weird. The novel was pretty graphic and it didn't phase me.
The movie was pretty intense too, and that didn't bother me.

But that evil manga did. Curse you BR manga!!!! *pulls out curse and garlic*

[tallulahgs]

Really? But you, y'know, like horror movies and stuff!

I can handle stuff in books that I couldn't if it was drawn, though - and the movie wasn't half as graphic as either the novel or manga, I thought.

And the manga style is a bit icky. Like, it looks nastier than the Akira manga does, even though the Akira manga has people's arms coming off and heads exploding and stuff. I think the BR manga has more attention to detail.

And... I'm not sure why I'm rambling like this, because you aren't online much so you probably won't get the time to reply to this... but it amused me ^^

Ah ha! But I did reply to this, so you didn't waste your breath in rambling like you just did!! ^_^

Umm...I know, I'm very weird. I LOVE horror movies and gory shit, but I guess I'm just sensitive to certain things. Or maybe I'm squimish, but I still am fasinated by it, you know?

I actually like it if books are more descriptive and go into detail when describing the gory violence. It allows my brain to recreate the scene in my head.

And about the manga style, it is icky, although I don't think I can compare it to Akira, since I've never seen the movie nor read the manga. But I do love exploding heads and arms coming off... ^^

The bottom line is that I'm a weird, complicated bi man. Hehe, just chalk it up to that!

[tallulahgs]

*gasp* Go you! ^_^

I kind of know what you mean, in that there are some things where I don't like what's happening onscreen but I still want to watch cos I like the characters or the concept. But I reckon my tolerance for that is far lower than yours.

In Akira, there are fewer globs of brain (in fact, virtually no globs of brain at all). And less close-ups of death in general.

Ok, you weird complicated bi man, you :p

I rekon too! But what's funny is that when watching Shaun of the Dead and Mark or David or....oh I don't remember his name--but it's one of Shaun's friends--gets literally ripped apart limb from limb by zombies, I was shocked yet intrigued and a little bothered too.

It's very weird.

Yes, I think it was the globs of brain and the vulgarity of certain characters just got to me. I also think it was the insane
amount of violence.


Now I'm feeling frilly and pretty all over! Go me!!! ^_^ Nevermind... ^^

[tallulahgs]

Different things just affect us different ways, I guess.

Vulgarity... hmm, could you possibly be talking about Mitsuko?

The violence is the same as in the novel, though, so I guess it's just seeing it all drawn out like that.

*grins* *sticks flowers in your hair*
