And no, not talking about the animated film by Dreamworks (which I liked too, btw... yay for Ginormica ), but rather the latest film by Guillermo del Toro, Pacific Rim.
As I'm a person of few words [shut up, I am!! ], I'll just get straight to the point... I LOVED this movie, I HIGHLY recommend this movie, I'll PROBABLY am going to see it again.
Despite being cliche, campy, predictable, eerily similar to other movies I know (e..g, Evangelion, Independence Day), it is nevertheless ingeniously directed in a way that has you giddily excited throughout the entirety of the movie, while still treating you [the movie goer] like you actually have more than half a brain. In other words it is highly-unconventional Hollywood that actually makes me want to give up my money (as opposed to Man of Steel which was horrors, and World War Z which really should have stuck to the book).
The fact that the movie feels like a live-action Anime is not lost on me, and it's certainly a gamble to introduce unfamiliar aspects to Western Audiences (even the names "kaiju" and "jaeger" alone would make some minds explode). But like MLP:FiM before it, it delivers beautifully by treating the genre with the detail, respect, realistic graphics, engaging storytelling, and strong characterization it deserves. Throw in a good mix of action and humor, and now we're cookin' with fiya!
Sure, it's often recommended to switch off your brain while watching this, but I can assure you it's not necessary... you'll voluntarily switch it off on your own, and just enjoy this damn awesome film that delivers what it promises [=real good summer fun]!
And just to commemorate my old OS-tan art (which must've hit some anniversary during this time), here's a Cherno Alpha-tan just for kicks...

RIP Inspiration: 2006-2014
Hello everyone,
I hadn't realized it at the time, but November of last year was actually my five-year anniversary on DA, when my old forum-pal ~BellaCielo (https://www.deviantart.com/bellacielo) convinced me to keep on drawing here after I had unceremoniously left the old OS-tan Forum. Roughly 2-3 years earlier, I had arrived at that place as a means to practice digital drawing, a craft that was so new to me then (and aided in large part by that wonderful vector drawing program Inkscape, which was also brand-new to me at the time). It seemed like only yesterday when I drew the lovely Amiga-tan, my first OS-tan, first vector drawing (with some Photoshop editing mixed in, sinc
Seasons Greetings
Hello everyone,
I've not been around in what seems like forever, but rest-assured... even if I'm barely around anymore, I am active in something and I'm still doing very well (at times better than well). And I extend the same wish that everyone that has followed me is also enjoying themselves this time of the year, and can enjoy company with friends and family!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from this crazy pig. ^v^
And I'm coming empty-handed here on Deviantart, but here's a little blast from the past that's worth reading again.... ^^
More Fanart!!
Yay! I continue to get random SDC fanart! :D
Here's an adorable submission by my good friend ~cayfie (https://www.deviantart.com/cayfie) who decided to pair CC, DD and The Boyfriend with her cute OC Moonchaser. Technically the two worlds should not collide, but some dimensional rifts are to be expected, of course.
Cay is also a great traditional artist and aspiring vector artist, so give her and her works lots of love! Thank you!! :D

Rumors of my absence have been greatly under-exaggerated. XD
This is how I feel after the last few weeks...

Or I could watch the Rebuild of Evangelion. Yeah I'm going to do that.
Jokes aside I heard the movie was a flop at the box office...
