Brainstorming! (and another ficathon that looks fun)

... okay, I think I'm gonna go sign up for this too: Three Space Shows and a Movie mini-ficathon. 500 words of gen fic for SGA, SG1, or ST (TOS/AOS), by late September? I can do that! :D

Sigh. I think I have a problem.

Anyway! Now that I've posted my latest songvid, I already know the next one I want to make! In the comments to one of my Avatar posts, [personal profile] jalendavi_lady mentioned "pretty boys playing with fire" as a common theme between FMA and A:TLA, and I went "OOOOH" because that just begs to be a multifandom vid. I have the perfect song for it, and I can think right off the top of my head of three shows that would fit perfectly - FMA (Roy), A:TLA (Zuko/Azula/Iroh/Ozai), and One Piece (Ace).

So here are my questions for you, my f'list/circle:

- What other anime or animated series/movie can you think of that has character(s) with fire powers? I can use energy-based chi attacks for filler clips, if I need to, but I'd really like as much actual fire as possible. I can think of a few "maybes", but in these cases I've only seen a little of the show and I can't remember specifically if it fits what I'm looking for - I seem to remember that Sasuke on Naruto has fire attacks, and also, the red-haired girl in the main triad on Rayearth. But I don't remember either show very well. Any suggestions are welcome!

- One Piece people! What are some specific OP episodes that I should look at for Ace doing his bursting-into-flames thing, or episodes that have some kickass Ace fight sequences? For the vid in general, I'd like to avoid majorly spoilery stuff and just stick to fun, flying-around-and-flaming scenes. And can you help me find good-quality, sub-free raws for source footage? I can get DVDs from Netflix, but it looks like they've only got it up to Skypeia. You can PM or email me if you don't want to post links.

Tatsuki in Fushigi Yugi
Karen in X
Guren in Shounen Onmyouji

I swear I know of more but I'm blanking currently, if I think of 'em I'll let you know...

Oh, Dilandu in Escaflowne kinda uses fire (he can't create it himself but his mecha can and he's kinda obsessed...)

Any animated version of Jean Grey as Phoenix (think there might be other mutants in X verse that use fire?)

...dang, I still feel like I'm missing an obvious one....hmm...

Naruto has Sasuke that plays with fire. Rayearth the main character plays with fire, Samurai Warriors, Sailor Moon, X-Men Evolution, Digimon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Slayers. That's all on the top of my head, if I think of more, I'll let you know.

I don't think Jean used fire as a weapon, did she? I remember her Phoenix thingie flaming up around her, or above her in the sky; but it was a "manifestation of her Phoenix power", an indication that she was powering-up.

I have to admit I lost track of her story line in the end, so I'm not 100% sure.

The Human Torch (Johnny Storm) in the Fantastic Four.

There are a couple fire using mutants that I know from the X-men comics; I'm not sure if they show up in the movies or animated shows. Anyhow, Pyrho is one, but I don't think I spelled his name right. And, Sunfire was cool. I think his fire might have been nuclear bomb related. He's from Japan.

ETA: I think Pyro (sp?) has a small bit in X-men: The Last Stand. It fairly late in the movie when Magneto's people are trying to keep Xavier's people from going into Jean's house.

Witch Hunter Robin is a big one.

Hiei in Yu Yu Hakusho usually fights with fire. Also Vampire Princess Miyu.

IIRC, when Tsuzuki loses his cool in Yami no Matsuei, there are flames and/or a phoenix(?) involved.

Ryoko in Tenchi Muyo, maybe? Here's a webpage with a list of her powers. http://www.angelfire.com/anime4/ryokospacepirate/powers.html

And oh look, just found another one for you...as in just watching this anime for the first time tonight and low and behold, fire-use, fortuitous timing, ne?

It's a very new anime (as in I think still airing) called Uragiri wa Boku no namae wo shitteiru, and the characters name is Hotsuma. (he just demonstrated his fire abilities in the ep I'm currently watching...when I should be working on my dissertation, lalala...oops! ^_-)

I hope [livejournal.com profile] shayera chimes in with her expertise here - she did an Ace vid last year, so she should know all about sources and such!

Hee, J-chan already mentioned Tasuki~! Fushigi Yuugi, the gateway drug.

Tasuki! ♥

[identity profile] gnine.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, clearly I am a terrible typist! ...Also, TASUKI!!!! And Chichiri...mmmmmmmmmmm...oh my gateway anime, you will always have a very special place in my heart!!

[identity profile] gnine.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 05:02 am (UTC)(link)
So, I was thinking about Tasuki, and...^_____- *huggles* I miss you!!!

[identity profile] shayera.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 06:12 am (UTC)(link)
*chimes in with Ace expertise*

There are fiery action sequences with Ace in episodes 94, 95, 97 and 101 at the beginning of the Alabasta arc, and then episode 325 right after Water 7. That's it, actually, unless you want the very recent episode 461, which has some good fire action scenes, but it might count as spoilery.

If you have problems getting any of these, tell me, and I could send them to you!

Tasuki!! ♥ (You have no idea. Ten years, and the squee is still lurking somewhere in my fangirl hindbrain.)

Oh, oh, oh! I can't believe I forgot about this - cute little shounen by the name of Fairy Tail, currently airing. Has flaws, but also strong points, and the main character, Natsu? Is a fire user. He was trained by a fire dragon, and seems to use something very much like elemental magic. Among other things, he can eat fire. XD

See this AMV for examples. (It actually uses the show's music, because the show is cool like that!)

Sigh. I think I have a problem.

Yes, I think you do - but why fight it? Go, write! *g*

An enabler? Moi? *innocent look*!!

Don't watch anime atm, so can't help with the vid, sorry!

Tasuki was my first manga crush. I loved him so. ♥

[identity profile] lavvyan.livejournal.com 2010-09-06 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Chichiri! Ohh, and Tama-the-cat! And Tasuki's buddy, the one with whom he did the crazy dancing! *splurges squee all over the thread*

[identity profile] shayera.livejournal.com 2010-09-07 10:12 am (UTC)(link)
That's it! Ace appears in episode 91, 94-101, 145 and 325, and then the recent arc. And the above episodes are the only ones that have him in any kind of action scene. In the manga, he also appears in a cover picture story arc, but that was never animated.

I could certainly enable you! XD I'll have to upload the files to some file sharing service, though - it might take a while, since they're relatively big (222-378 MB). Working on it now!

Glad to know you enjoyed that Ace vid! ^_____^

There were definitely Fantastic Four animated shows/series. Good luck with the search.

Not a problem, I hope whatever project you want them for turns out awesome! If you need episodes, just let me know. I have most of these series.
