/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Wasn't there some gimmicky solution in this film, like they all sang and the children were saved?

Can't show kids dying in American movies :)

It annoys me how that version of Sadako is a pop culture icon. The version in the book is much better and a great work of science fiction.

What's the difference between movie Sadako and book Sadako?

>>10889985
Fuck off. "IT WAS A VIRUS!!!11" is the most hack excuse ever. I'm glad they removed it from the film adaptations (except for that shitty corean one).

>>10889971
That was the entire fucking point, that the japanese branch failed in killing kids so everything went to shit.

>>10889971
CITW: They all died in the end anyway.

Wow those girls look scared as fuck.

You tell it to stop

Japanese girls in rural areas of the country are trained in the Shinto practices of spirit combat from an early age. All of those girls are hardened warriors.

In my home country you got to know its real name

>>10890081
So is like Rumpled Stiltskin? That's it's name?
That was easy.

By not believing in them.

>>10890089
Doesn't seem to work in Mushishi

Ask my girlfriend Reimu to take care of it.

>>10890102
You weren't "not believing" enough.
More or less when you're trying to convice yourself of something but in deep you think "nah"

This whole scene felt like Joss Whedon pandering to weeaboos.

>>10890017
Is Cabin in the Woods a good movie?
It sounds a little try hard when I read up on it in Wikipedia.

I need a good movie to watch today.

>>10890144
It's a comedy.

>>10890143
Maybe he's a closet Japanophile himself.

>>10890144
It's pretty entertaining.

It isn't one of those DOHOHO LOOK AT HOW META AND SELF-REFERENTIAL I'M BEING movies like Wes Craven makes. It's just a horror movie with an extra layer to it.

Youkai and all evil spirits can be defeated by using a confident voice and standing your ground.

>I AM A SERVANT OF THE SECRET FIRE, WIELDER OF THE FLAME OF ANOR! THE DARK FIRE WILL NOT AVAIL YOU, FLAME OF UDUN! GO BACK TO SHADOW!

Would work against most powerful youkai.

>>10890213
If you're not doing this when the youkai comes, you have failed at life.

>HERE I STAND AGAINST THE DARKNESS, UNBENT AND UNBROKEN. THROUGH THE WHISPER IN MY SOUL I HEAR YOUR SONG OF CURSES AND DAMNATION. I KNOW: IT'S THE END, I HEAR IT. BUT EVEN IF I SHALL DIE TODAY, KNOW THAT AT THE END, A HUMAN FOUGHT HERE, AND A HUMAN DIED HERE.

Unfortunately, it will probably just make the youkai laugh. But it would be an awesome way to die.

>>10890213
touhou universe =/= arda

>>10889996
She doesn't appear in Ring at all. In the second book a girl who was infected with the virus gave birth to her. She rapidly aged and was very cute. She even had sex with the main character.

>>10889997
How is it a hack excuse? It was an error with the computer simulation, I thought it was way better than "hurr durr supernatural magic".

>>10890213
>Implying Akyuu's tips are effective

This my favorite scene ever
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP

>>10890281
It's LOTR: Two Towers, you faggot.
I hope you get raped by big, hot balrog cocks.

>>10890237
>>>>>>>calling the setting "arda" instead of "middle-earth"

fucking weeaboo detected

"it's not tamriel, dad, it's nirn"
- u tryin 2 look 3cool5me

>>10890322
He was comparing worlds, not regions.

>>10890331
How do you not know what =/= means?

>>10890345
How do you not know what "comparison" means?

>>10890331
tough shit nerdlord

the setting is middle-earth

nobody gives a shit if you're a hardcore fan who knows the name of the world

btw the term he used was universe
so he might as well have said "lotr universe" or something like that

>>10890322
Who are you shrek-texting?

>>10890314
>implying LOTR is any good
>implying I read past two pages
>implying implications

>>10890410

WHY WASN'T THIS IN THE MOVIE PETER JACKSON???

>>10890432
>>10890490
lol you nerds actually listen to this crap? pretty sad smh

>>10890432
Playing Lord of the Rings Online has prevented me from liking hobbits forever.
>Deliver these letters!
>Mud these pigs!
>Put these pies on a table!
>Move these chickens!
>Try this tobacco!
Whole fucking quest zones of this. In hindsight it's pretty funny but when you're doing it it's like MAKE IT STOP PLEASE MAKE IT STOP
It's basically what forced the final push to make a spider so I can murder hobbits. But then that was just like "murder these hobbits, poison these rivers, pick up these troll parts," and any time a Free Peoples player shows up they ream you because they are literally just multiple times stronger than you.
What a shitty game.

>>10890524
I leveled my hunter up to 15 and got bored of it.
I mean it was all "Take X to Y". Not like it's weird of a MMORPG but damn

>>10890524
Sounds way more interesting than typical MMORPG quests.

My ability is pressure so i'm good

you need to exercise it

youkai be fat yo

A bonk on the head
