![]() Of course, it’s not just newer titles that have viewers straining their eyes. ![]() “I don’t think the intention is to struggle to see, but there are times where I personally feel like I’m struggling, like, ‘Is it taking me out of it?’ My job really is to calibrate my eye to what the cinematographer wants it to look like.”ĭigital imaging technician Nicholas Kay said Ridley Scott’s 1979 film “Alien” is a “great example” of dark visuals in cinema: “It’s all called for artistically, and it’s also serving a purpose technically, as well.” Courtesy of Paramount “I think that a lot of cinematographers, when they do certain things like that, they’re trying to make it feel extremely truthful,” Kay said. Those works and more have all faced criticism for being too shadowy (the West Wind Drive-In in Las Vegas told patrons that they couldn’t get a refund for “The Batman” if they found it too dark) but the alternative might be an unrealistic depiction of the plot. Matt Reeves’ “The Batman” takes place largely at night, “The Handmaid’s Tale” is set in a gloomy dystopia, and horror movies like the “Fear Street” trilogy rely on the cover of darkness to keep viewers on their toes. Whether “dark” refers to the moodiness of a piece of media or its literal lack of light, the two often go hand-in-hand. Other than the viewing environment, though, Kay, a two-decade industry vet who has worked on movies including “Joker,” “Venom” and “Black Panther,” said there are practical and emotional reasons for dark images. He also stressed that watching the show anywhere other than a darkened room with a neutral, large monitor was a disservice to the viewer. ![]() Cinematographer Fabian Wagner defended his work at the time, telling Wired, “Everything we wanted people to see is there.” He also pointed out that the scene was shot at night and said the intention was to differentiate the battle aesthetically from other scenes throughout the series. ![]() As someone who spends countless hours perfecting visuals on- and off-set, he feels personally offended by the settings on his parents’ TV, from motion smoothing to brightness, which Kay said shouldn’t be turned up or down.Ī few years ago, a final battle in the “Game of Thrones” finale was criticized by many viewers for being so dark that it was impossible to see what was going on. When he goes to visit his parents’ house, he’s aghast at the butchered image quality on their television screen, which Kay believes should be as neutral as possible. Home viewingįor home viewers, one culprit could be the viewing environment, according to digital imaging technician Nicholas Kay. While dark scenes are usually due to the filmmaker’s vision, there are several factors both at movie theaters and when viewing at home that will affect the viewer’s ability to see what’s going on onscreen. Have you ever been enjoying a film or TV series, only to suddenly find yourself squinting at the dark screen? Recent releases including “ Euphoria,” “The Batman” and “Handmaid’s Tale,” as well as classic films including “Alien,” “Taxi Driver” and “Seven” all utilize dark imagery, but what if the visuals are simply too dark to see everything in the frame? ![]() The first trailer for the anime was released on Youtube. Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world. ![]() One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to jump from the school rooftop. Although the boy appears human, he is half yōmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly. The story follows a high school junior named Akihito Kanbara. The novel was adapted into an anime, also by Kyoto Ani, for the fall 2013 Anime Season. The light novel was published in June 2012 by Kyoto Animation as part of the prize for winning note technically an honorable mention as they couldn't decide on a single winner that year, so each member of the four-way tie was published and the cash prize was equally split amongst them a writing contest they held. The animation is top-notch, but you can give Beyond the Boundary, and its movies, a hard miss.Left to right: Mitsuki, Mirai, Hiroomi, and Akihito.īeyond the Boundary (also known in Japanese as Kyōkai no Kanata) is a Japanese light novel series by Nagomu Torii, with art by Tomoyo Kamoi. Without a cast of likeable characters and a coherent story to enrapture you, Beyond the Boundary fails to captivate and entertain. Kyoto Animation are capable of far better, but Beyond the Boundary doesn’t know if it wants to be a comedy slice-of-life or tell a serious story, but it fails to blend the two together well. I can’t really knock the soundtrack though, especially its vocal tracks, and I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed them.īeyond the Boundary fails to captivate and entertain.īeyond the Boundary, both the series and movies, aren’t something I could get behind. It’s far from an awful dub, but it’s not one I can rave about either. It’s not as if Christopher Ayres is a bad voice-director either as he’s got some brilliant works under his belt, so maybe the issue lies with the original Japanese voice-over and how it’s been adapted into English. I’m not a big fan of the English dub for Beyond the Boundary across the board , and Krystal LaPorte has a nice voice which, again, seems to not have been directed well. in Gatchaman Crowds, so I can only assume that his nasally and grating performance here is down to voice direction. There’s very little to fault when it comes to the animation, other than this level of effort was put into Beyond the Boundary.Ĭlint Bickham is superb as O.D. Colourful and expressive, KyoAni does it’s best to bring these characters to life, and the action scenes are fluid and generally pretty large on scale. It’s a shame that such incredible art was wasted on an uninspired script which doesn’t deserve such great treatment but, regardless, KyoAni have done fantastic work here. ![]() There’s very little to fault when it comes to the animation.Īs with most KyoAni works, both of these movies are gorgeous. It’s hard to say whether this movie is the series at its peak or not, but if you like the series then you’ll like the movie. I’m very tired of hearing about Akihito’s glasses fetish, honestly - it was simply never funny nor endearing. At its core Beyond the Boundary is a love story, but both Mirai and Akihito are irritating characters and I never cared for their relationship.įans should be pleased with its conclusion, especially as it makes up for how the original series ended, but overall it’s still made up of a flimsy narrative and characters who are incredibly hard to like. Mirai realises that people are hiding the truth from her and despite everyone’s best intentions, Mirai and the others are thrust into another battle where everything will come to light. Mirai has lost her memories and Akihito, who feels that her remembering past ordeals would hurt her, decides that she’s better off not remembering. The movie takes place one year after the ending of the TV series which left several questions unanswered. This is KyoAni’s dud work, more so than Glasslip is for P.A.Works.įlimsy narrative and characters who are incredibly hard to like. There will be some slight series spoilers here as I’m going to speak mostly about the sequel movie, so just in case you decide to close this review right now, just know that the conclusion is you shouldn’t bother with this collection of movies. A few minutes at the end lead into the movie though, so you might want to skip ahead before making a start on the second movie. The recap movie shouldn’t be watched in place of the main series, and it moves at a blisteringly fast pace and does a poor job of explaining the series’ events. ![]() There is a fairly uniform tendency here towards wines that are unapologetically bold and opulently fruit-driven, albeit with a surprising amount of acidity thanks to the region’s chilly nighttime temperatures.

The downside is that I hate the two minigames. I loved the atmosphere, loved getting the monster broadcast events and chasing them down, loved the characters even the culprit. But once that was behind me I ended up really enjoying the game. I really love this game! I was super annoyed at the beginning of the game because my MO is to talk to all characters and exhaust all dialogue options before I do any investigations, and there is SO MUCH dialogue at the very beginning (a lot of it quite repetitive). So here’s to CAP! An ND game that doesn’t get love nearly as much as it should! It’s just such a fun loving feel good have a few tiny scares but also some heart warming moments kind of game, and I don’t feel like it gets appreciated enough because games like that don’t come around every day. If anything, it just adds to the absolute insanity of this game.

I know some people find Karl annoying but I think he’s charming and I feel for the guy because it seems like he just wants to make board games and live his life without trouble.

Hmm probably not, but do I enjoy every second playing this ridiculous far fetched German fever dream? HELL YES. However, I feel like it’s not talked enough about how FUN this game is.

Here's the thing: it's dead simple to remove the supernatural elements from Weird West, since, in the 8-page Basic Rulebook they're actually quite few. ![]() "Not another occult Western game," you may be saying. ![]() So, when Stuart Robertson released a Western RPG of his own, I took notice.Ĭalled Weird West, Robertson describes it as a "streamlined and fast playing adventure roleplaying game for weird western worlds of cowboys, kung-fu, magic and otherworldly malevolence." Now, I'm sure some of you are already disappointed to read this description. Despite this, I've long been on the lookout for a good Western RPG and have even been toying around with one of my own over the past year ( Saloons & Shootists is its working title). That said, my direct experience with Western-themed RPGs is quite limited, with TSR's Boot Hillbeing the only one I played successfully for any length of time. Certainly I talk a great deal more about fantasy on this blog than I do about Westerns, but that's more an acknowledgment of how large fantasy looms in our hobby than it is a reflection of my personal tastes. Until then, players can delve into some of the titles mentioned above for a truly memorable experience inside the western fantasy horror that is the Weird West.After science fiction, I'm hard pressed to decide whether I like fantasy or Westerns more. Hopefully, the new emergence of this genre into gaming is one that will find some measure of success, allowing more developers to delve into this complementary mashup of styles with more and more frequency in the future. The brilliance of the Weird West is that it takes two genres that are somewhat niche on their own and combines the best of both worlds into something special. Players take on the role of a female bounty hunter searching for her kidnapped family, a pigman monstrosity searching for his humanity after a transformation due to occult magic, and even a werewolf trying to awaken the power of the Blood Moon in his battle against a coven of witches.Īll of these are surrounded by bounty hunting missions, gunslinging duels, and all manner of western tropes that make its experience simultaneously refreshing and familiar. ![]() In the aforementioned Weird West, players can control five different characters, all connected by an unseen entity that inhabits them all. The Weird West genre works because it tells new stories, ones that only a mashup of this magnitude can provide. Even larger studios, like Shadow Warrior developer Flying Wild Hog, are getting into the genre with its upcoming third-person shooter Evil West. Meanwhile, others like throwback shooter Blood West created a homage of sorts to Darkwatch with a story of a resurrected desperado, brought back to life by Native American mysticism. Indie games like the appropriately named top-down immersive sim Weird West, developed by former Dishonored developers Wolfeye Studios created a western world full of evil cults, shunned hybrid pigmen monstrosities, and heroic bounty hunters. However, after Darkwatch failed to impress in terms of sales, few companies would attempt another Weird West style release for over a decade until very recently, when a slew of similar games have emerged. Darkwatch combined solid steampunk western gameplay with a horror setting and made many players fall in love with its unique setup and tone. The game stars Jericho Cross, an outlaw who, after being bitten by a vampire, uses his newfound powers for good as part of the Darkwatch organization, which battles supernatural threats in the wild west. The introduction of the Weird West into games arguably came in the form of the 2005 PlayStation 2 and original Xbox first-person shooter Darkwatch: Curse of the West, a cult-classic and overlooked shooter. |
