Sengoku Basara - Musical Photos!

Sengoku Basara Stage Photos! We finally get to see pictures of the cast in their costumes, and they look fantastic!

[ CAST PHOTOS ]

The guy on the left seems to be the director and writer, Daisuke Nishida. While the other two are the main characters of the show: Date Masamune and Sanada Yukimura.
Oh he really looked like Masamune that became real! And Yukimura . . . his costume looks weird if you see it in real life. But his actor's cute. Hehe~


From left to right: Katakura Kojuurou, Saturobi Sasuke, and Nouhime.
Kojuurou became a heartrob! Haha! While Sasuke looked a little weird . . . but Nouhime's perfect!


From left to right: Mori Ranmaru, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Oda Nobunaga.
Ranmaru's actor should really be a kid. Mitsuhide . . . doesn't suit him match. While Oda, yes, perfect! Haha!

THIS MUSICAL LOOKS REALLY FREAKIN' AWESOME I CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

However, admission is more than 6,000 yen and flight to Japan's also pretty expensive. *despair*

Hopefully there'll be a video of this manly musical out someday! And really soon too! Hehe~

I like the casting! Fits the characters a lot! Except for Ranmaru I guess. He became older. Ehehe. But I freakin' love the actors for Yukimura and Kojuuro!!! I am really going to start watching contemporary sentai shows for the sake of seeing more of these two. Yukimura's actor, if I remember correctly, in in Go-onger while Kojuurou's is in Dekaranger! My younger brother is familiar with these. I might buy or download episodes *_*

Sengoku Basara Musical

BADASS SINGING AND DANCING SAMURAIS FTW!

I look forward to this so much! I don't care if I won't be able to watch this with subtitles! I aso wish I'm in Japan on that month. Haha!
I like the choice of the main actors. They fit the characters very much.,at least in physical features. If they can act in-character, then I don't think there will be much problem. Hehe. If the acting of the whole or most of the cast is remarkable, and the choreography and music/songs in the musical would be great, then it will certainly be a very amazing show! I have a feeling that it's going to be better than how I imagine it would be.
By the way, from those main actors' profiles, it seems that they also had a role in live-action sentai shows (Kamen Raider and Go-onger). My brother will most likely be familiar with those, I'll try to check them out. I am really attracted on the one playing as Yukimura. He's seriously cute !*pokes picture*.

Daniel X: Alien Hunter by James Patterson

I bought it because it's much cheaper compare to other western graphic novels that I see. (Graphic novels with illustrations like The Sandman (by Neil Gaiman) cost around or more than 700+ pesos and Western novels in manga style like Odd Thomas (by Dean Koontz) cost around 400+ pesos) so seeing this one, 300+ pesos, and it's even colored unlike Pendragon (art is much better too), I didn't think twice in buying it xD Besides, the plot caught my interest a lot. Come on, aliens? power of creation? I can't resist that xD Haha. This one had attracted me more than Ben-10 had.

Anyway, of course I'm done with it (read it since some time early last month actually). To be honest, it wasn't as good as I expected it to be, story-wise. Yes, the power of creation thing had been creative, and I like it that the main character isn't too perfect. I also get to like a certain character there (but he died, baaaw) But, somehow it still gave me the typical-young-superhero-story vibes x_x In other words, it was promising but it didn't meet my expectations.

Though the story and some of the characters didn't impress me much, I have no regrets because the art was pretty cool. And there was a pretty blue butterfly! Kyaaaa! And it had been an enjoyable read.But I don't think I'll plan on reading the novel version, but I might have second thoughts if there'll be another graphic novel. I'm definitely watching the movie version if it turned out nice xD (yes, I've heard it's really gonna be having a movie, like James Patterson's other young adult book: Maximum Ride)
