one of the weirdest kind of rec I've ever done

[salinea]

At RPG.net there are frequently Where I Watch [fill in blank name of series/movies/stories] threads about someone recaping a series as they go at it, which is often very fun. There's a guy named Shadowjack doing this with Sailor Moon and it's been a thread of EPIC AWESOMENESS so far (he's just finished S1). Okay I'm not sure of his characterisation of Rei as Latina because she fits the hot headed stereotype, but that aside, it's awesome. Now this is noticeable to me because I never even watched Sailormoon (much, I mean, I caught an episode or 2 on TV when I was 13, of course, but I pretty much hated it) yet it actually sort made me want to watch it O_O. A fact that beyond surprises me. Anyway even more awesome than the WIW thread itself is the recap cartoon of his recap Shadowjack has been doing. Judge for yourself:
(a_white_rain, you want to look at this especially. You'll know why when you reach it ^^)



















































You can find the WIW thread here and its sequel there.

Oh, and bonus pic, for something completely different:

Je trouve que cette parodie est spot on en effet ^^

Depuis que j'ai vu les deux premiers Rebuild of Evangelion, j'ai vachement envie de me refaire la série en fait... ^^

Je n'ai pas vu les Rebuild, mais j'ai revu des épisodes de la série pendant les vacances de Toussaint, et c'est toujours ♥

Les Rebuilds sont FANTASTIQUES. Serieusement.

Argh, et en plus tu m'encourages ^^ En fait j'ai pas vu la série depuis... euh, les années 90. Ma mémoire est très floue.

En fait, je n'ai vraiment pas aimé la réécriture en manga, et je suppose que c'est pour ça qu'un autre remake m'inquiète un peu.

Bah, il sera toujours temps de les voir si les critiques sont toujours bonnes une fois que c'est fini...
