I AM SO PUMPED FOR THE NEW SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V TRAILER!

#SMTV
You better believe me and @HokutoAndy are analyzing the hell out of it right now!!! Keep an eye out for a new Art-Eater article sometime today!! Image
That intro SFX that they chose was so perfect! Anyone else get intense Radiohead vibes from it? Reminds me of the interlude that happens after the first song on their "Scotch Mist" session! (Turn your sound on for a comparison!)
#SMTV #Radiohead
Sorry for the poor editing and video capture haha. Can anyone recommend a good free/cheap video editing solution? I just need something that I can do basic cuts and transitions on.
Over 3 hours of research and writing later and I've covered ... 20 seconds of the trailer lol. This trailer looked deceptively simple at first, but my god there's so much going on! I hope to get this analysis done by tomorrow. Good night!
Me: Alright! LETS DO THIS! Stay focused! Just write it stream of consciousness and get it out ASAP!

My Stream of Consciousness: Image
Sorry it's taking so long! That SMTV trailer is really short, but there's just so much to say about it! I keep finding new rabbit holes to explore! I hope y'all enjoy the breakdown whenever I finally finish it 😅

🧵Here's a great example of why you shouldn't always go by Western sources on non Western subjects

Eng Wikipedia page: Yoshitoshi was the last Ukyo-e master. The art died with him😔

JPN Wikipedia page: Yoshitoshi had over a dozen notable protegés with their own Wiki entries 😃

🧵The Western take on Yoshitoshi is that he was a tragic figure waging a lone war against industrialization and modernization. A war that he lost and thus the traditions he championed died with him. It's a romantic notion that also satisfies tons of biases.
🧵But it's so far from the truth. Yes Ukyo-e fell out of favor for more modern methods of reproduction like photography. But it never died out. For instance there was the Shin-hanga (新版画) movement of the early 20th Century, whose purpose was to keep Ukyo-e alive and evolve it.

1. Manga has been more popular than Marvel or DC comics in the west for decades now

2. Marvel & DC =/= All American comics. Dog Man is one of the best selling books (not just comics) in the US. Americans definitely still enjoy reading American comics!
In fact, there have been times where Dog Man has been the #1 best selling book in the US overall!
Dog-Man is the most popular comic in America, outselling any manga. But for some reason it's not really considered a comic by most, i guess cos it's for kids? Where are the articles about how Dav Pilkey is a threat to Superhero comics lol

Listening to this nice piece on the film "Living" and how the author, British novelist Kazuo Ishiguro was inspired by the Akira Kurosawa film "Ikiru," an internationally beloved classic whose title means "To Live."
npr.org/2023/03/06/116…
The piece drops the ball at the end tho, when the narrator says that the film "is not just a remake" and they have a Brit critic that goes "'Ikiru,' by Kurosawa, seems to be a film about Japan, 'Living,' by Ishiguro and his colleagues. seems to me a film about humanity"

Like WTF
What does that mean? Ikiru has been widely regarded as one of the "great films" internationally for decades. It's obviously very universal in its appeal. How is it that "Ikiru" being set in Japan makes it "about Japan" but "Living", being set in the UK, makes it "about humanity"?

Western Samurai movies: We must preserve our honor above all else. Honor is everything (#honor)

Japanese Samurai Movies:
What I'm saying is Westerns were already the Samurai movies of the west
(literally)

Sometimes I think about when Hail To The Thief dropped & this one music critic called it pretentious pap saying Thom Yorke simply screams the words "PENETRATION" over and over in 2+2=5. But the actual lyrics are "we are not even PAYING ATTENTION" lol
Oh man this album rules. It brings back so many TERRIBLE MEMORIES lol. But in a good way!
I think There There is one of Radiohead's best singles. Such a rich, downbeat, groovy, anxious sound. And what a perfect message for the times. "Just cos you feel it, doesn't mean it's there." Tough pill to swallow. But sometimes you really need to hear it

I'm overdo for a food post! I hit up some nice places in Chiang Mai recently. #ArtEaterEats
Dirty Mocha from ... Google Maps has them listed as "Cutlater Cafe" but I could swear they had a Japanese sounding name. Probably rebranded without updating google. Anyhow it was a very good cup of coffee and a beautiful cafe!

In addition to great coffee this place specializes in wagashi, traditional Japanese sweets, which go perfectly with a hot drink (really I should have just gotten an Americano or cappuccino instead of a sweet drink to go with these!)
