Streams on Cobblestones

The meandering road of a slightly introverted mind. Normally witty. At turns morbid and cheerful. A little weird. Have fun.

Watched Vexille with my movie-kakis yesterday and it was awesome! Rocking techno soundtrack and action sequences, decent plot and clever playing with expectations. Must get soundtrack – especially the haunting “Host of Seraphim” by Dead Can Dance and “Together Again” by mink, which lent the wistful air which stays with you even after the movie ended. I guess with the cool CGI sequences and build-up of mystery at the start, I was expecting more earth-shaking discoveries and conspiracies with the unveiling of Japan behind the electromagnetic field. The end was rather predictable after a certain point and villan a little disappointing. But yes, I think wistful was the point the producers wanted to bring across and that was done very well, IMHO.


Anyways, all the best wishes for the New Year. *trundles off to watch Kyou Kara Maou loaned from a friend*
