DREAMWIDTH FRIENDING MEME

Heyo!

So after a few plurk discussions, the want to start journaling again a la Livejounal came up a few different places, and this idea was born!

We ask if you participate, that you attempt to post 1-3 time a week, and comment as much as possible to help jump start personal journaling here on dreamwidth. And if you use your journal already (or if you start from here) we'd love a link back to this meme! The more the merrier!

You can also follow this community for both daily writing prompts and a monthly friending meme!

To participate, copy and paste this in a comment, fill it out, and go make some friends!

I'm always down to talk about cartoons

Is there any type of animation you're been interested in recently? Short films, animation from particular eras?

At the moment? I've been looking a lot at 1980s anime. Everything just seems so huge and ambitious (although I've just been watching mecha so that's probably sample bias). Plus I love all the shaky zoom and stilted voice acting. There's something about the more realistic character designs I find super appealing too.

And there's this scene from Robotech. I could watch the full scene all day. And the part where he pulls her into the cockpit and they experience a moment of weightlessness. So good.

It's the mix of realism and camp that feels so genuine, and sometimes that's the kind of thing I need.

Recently I've been on a roll with Russian animation. It's also a mix of realism and over-the-top acting that I find nostalgic - maybe I should post about the next one I watch.
