amor fati

1. He is Himura Kenshin.

I can’t think of anyone playing Himura Kenshin other than him. He is just perfect. Aside from looking exactly like Kenshin, he also got the nuances of Kenshin’s mannerisms, from the “oro” uttering gentle wanderer:

…to being a tortured hero who feels regret and great remorse for all that he has done in the past:

Also, the fact that he wants to emulate Kenshin in his daily life is proof that no other actor understands Himura Kenshin.

2. He is Hitokiri Battousai.

If you love Takeru as Himura Kenshin then you will love him more as Hitokiri Battousai. Why? Because when he gets his fighting mojo on, he is so sexy:

Also, knowing Takeru was doing all those stunts by himself makes it all the more hot.

3. He is passionate about his craft.

What I really like about him is that he is not just a pretty boy face. The guy can act ladies and gentlemen. And he keeps improving. If you have seen his earlier dramas, you can see that he has really improved a lot. He just doesn’t settle, he gives every project that he has his one hundred and ten percent.

4. His lips, beauty marks, eyes … well, you get the picture.

I used to think that Angelina Jolie has the sexiest lips until I saw Takeru. Sorry Angie, but Takeru’s lips beat yours hands down.

And did I mention those beauty marks? Yes, the one below his right eye and the other near his lips:

Gah, I think I spent half of watching Kyoto Inferno in the cinema getting distracted by those beauty marks.

5. He’s incredibly smart.

If you haven’t noticed yet, in his interviews he gives really thoughtful, deep, and smart answers. Just take for example the cross talk interview he had with Taka. His opinions are direct to the point, honest, poignant and thought provoking.

6. He has the most adorable laugh.

Seriously, I could listen to his laugh all day. 

7. He’s BFF with Taka.

The fact that these two claim to be husband and wife to each other is just too cute. I envy their friendship. I’m glad that Takeru is able to find a genuine friend in Taka considering how superficial his profession can be. Also, these two together is causing my ovaries to self combust.

8. He can breakdance.

It’s because he can breakdance that he is able to do those impossibru stunts in RRK. 

So, if you haven’t seen him breakdance, here you go. 

9. He is such a geek.

Did I just say he’s one smart guy? How many of you can solve a Rubik’s cube? I know I can’t. And not only solve it, he can make patterns too. Amazing.

10. He can be a dork.

His dorkiness is killing me. Please stahp.

   11. He’s adorably weird.

Weird fun fact: he can’t touch his own shoulders, lol.

12. He loves cats. He loves animals.

Takeru + neko is equal to cuteness overload I could die:

Can I be your cat for a day, pretty please? Also, I love that it’s not just cats that he’s partial to, he’s very gentle to the animals. As they say, you can tell a person’s inner character by the way they treat the animals. 

13. He’s an introvert.

Well, this is just my opinion, I haven’t read any interviews that says he’s one and he hasn’t claimed to be one, but I know the signs and personality(since I am an introvert too):

He doesn’t want to be the center of attention.

He’s a private person. From this interview, It’s not surprising that he closed down his blog. But knowing all that, I’m still wishing that he’ll have an Instagram account, lol.

He sees the big picture. Sorry, I couldn’t find now the link to the interview to support this.

There are times he wants to be alone and doesn’t want to talk to anyone.

He’s a great listener.

This article has a lot of examples that shows he’s an introvert.

14. Even though he’s a badass hitokiri, he’s afraid of caterpillars.

SPOILERS AND ANGRY TEARS AHEAD

speaking as a hardcore fan, i honestly can’t believe I endured the 1 hr 30 minute horror that is the SNK live action movie. here are several reasons why i hate it so much:

1. mikasa was a weakling. 

2. eren was always angry, in a not-sincere, non-justifiable way.

3. what is up with mikasa and that weird captain? 

4. what is up with mikasa and that weird captain eating apples?

5. armin had parents. parents who were alive.

6. too long and too many “staring at titans” moments

7. the recruits had no idea how to use the 3dmg. fuck that is the first thing they teach you.

8. hanji was a klutz. i know she’s not actually named hanji but c’mon. (ugh i was duped)

9. unnecessary sex scenes (YES, SEX SCENES)

10. they reduced the entire story behind the red scarf moment into a fucking weak-ass mikasa sneeze bout

11. why did they have trucks? and helicopters?

12. no levi, no erwin, no annie, no ymir, no krista

13. annoying and angry and very smol jean. seriously, eren and jean had more screen time together than eren and mikasa.

14. the actors were old..and strangely not sin-inspiring.

15. too many drunk-walking eren (usually after witnessing a titan eating a human)

i watched the whole thing knowing full well that manga / anime / books aren’t easy to transform into live action movies. so i had braced myself for some deviation from the story, for the sake of compressing everything in a 2 hour format. and i understand that the SNK movie guys did a lot of work on this, and i appreciate the effort. i was told that non-canon fans actually enjoyed the movie, so…kudos? i guess?

BUT MY GOD. THIS MOVIE FELT LIKE VERY BAD FAN-MADE MOVIE FROM A VERY BAD FANFIC. it bore almost no semblance to the SNK cannon that i knew and loved. it was, at best, a mediocre movie, and SNK fans do not deserve that.

(and yet another) BUT, in the interest of fairness, I tried to find some good things in this. 

luckily…there are three:

1. titan eren in the movie looked exactly like titan eren in the manga / anime, and that’s AMAZING

2. the “armin-being-swallowed-by-a-titan-and-eren-pulling-him-out” scene was INCREDIBLE 

3. the colossal titan was scary as fuck

…aaaaand that’s it.
