When I went to "Barnes and Noble" to get volume 5 of the "Spice and Wolf" manga, my mom wanted to check out the movie section.
So I do what I always do and browse through the "Foreign Films" for any random anime I might like. (as they are stupid and don't have an "anime" section)
I ran across this one LIVE-ACTION movie called "Blood: The Last Vampire" The back said it was based on an anime, and although anime/video-game---based movies have not had the greatest of luck, I thought it would be pretty good.
But here's the hang up... I had unknowingly wondered from "regular foreign films"into "blu-ray foreign films" Now my previous oppinion of blu-ray is generally negative, as it's killing normal HD-DVDs. Sence both blu-ray and normal HD came out at the same time, the companies pushed for blu-ray, ONLY because it offers more copy-protection, despite it being more complex so that when it did come out, you weren't likely to get one playing even if you did get a blu-ray player. (it was THAT glitchy)-[kinda like vista not being compatable with ANYTHING either]
But I had seen some blu-ray movies at my cousins house and it seemed that they fixed the issue, so I decided "what the hell" why not? After all, can't resist a cute japanese girl... plus, it has vampires !! [AND NOT STUPID SPARKLY ONES >.< ] = (it's a win win) ^.^ PS: I appologize to any twilight fans, but you can't get me to like something that I don't like >.>
So I bought it, and attempted to hook my PS3 to my HD tv/computer-moniter. After discovering the annoyance that HDMI cables AREN'T "plug and play" and you have to actually change signals MANUALLY (and the time consuming process of configuring settings for an HD-widescreenTV signal input that has NEVER been used before) I got it working and went to bed... (as it was very late at that point)
Next morning, I watched it. AND WOW !!!
Aside from the realistic graphics, this movie is FREAKING AWESOME !!! It's about SAYA, a half-human_half-vampire japanese girl that's teamed up with a secret organization to find and kill the master of all vampires, ONIGEN. It's described as "kill bill" but with vampires, though probably only due to the cool samurai sword fights.
In all, I'm glad I got it. However I won't be using my HDMI cable for everything as video games look a tad too "hyper-realistic" (as the saying goes) and I can't flip back and forth between signals easily enough to view my walkthroughs on my computer ^^;
