Becau...Funny that you mention the video game thing. Because until now Lana did remind me of someone. But in this episode I figured it out. Links little sister Aryll in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. She is also followed by seabirds and there is this part where you come to a fortress to save her. You see a window where the birds are hanging out and Link understands that he needs to go there. Just like Conan spotted Lanas bird-friends. <br /><br />Now that I think about it, Conan remind me a little of Link in that game.

Notice how Conan takes an increasing confidence to tackle every greater, more deadly technological monstrosities (starting with the Falcon in episode 2).<br /><br />Listen how the interludes and scenes are often only punctuated by silence, or the wind howling. This will be a common theme in future episodes. Instead of Disney trying to cram as much sing along music every nanosecond a character doesn't speak, as if they were paid by the note, you get these interludes of silence, and spooky wind.<br /><br />Classic, romantic the scene of how Conan reaches "LAAAAAANAAAAAAA" and the glass separates them.<br /><br />Lepka is revealed. Reminds me of Colonel Muska; he is one of a handful of truly 100% evil Miyazaki Villains that is just one ruthless POS. His branding "gun" actually existed in the Alexander Key's book as a tattoo gun which Conan used on 3-4 other Indastrians and subsequently broke, then was jailed.<br /><br />And Mosri. Yes, I had a crush on Mosri/Monsley too when I was a kid. Very dynamic, interesting character here, someone that really makes things very interesting and adds huge depth to the story. Even more ruthless than the Lepka himself. She seems more of a simpleton and even more devoted to war n conquest in the name of Indastria early on, more than Lepka even, but watch her... her motives will be far more complex.attiliobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08254975613463460937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-46306613067400246122011-04-12T06:05:19.687-05:002011-04-12T06:05:19.687-05:00Monsly is my favourite character, I had such a cru...Monsly is my favourite character, I had such a crush on her! :Pvalentinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01568749601493955929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24969765.post-9892025801728464052011-04-07T05:07:07.226-05:002011-04-07T05:07:07.226-05:00In addition to the Count of Cagliostro, there is s...In addition to the Count of Cagliostro, there is strong correlation between Lepka and Muska (from Laputa). Their motives are the same, the way they first try to reason, but quickly give up in favour of threats and violence, and, jumping forward, they ultimately meet the same end... Even their names rhyme!<br /><br />I actually sympathise with the old men of the Counsel - they work hard to sustain whatever life is possible in Industria, from the first meeting with them at the Hearing, they come out as rather worn-out by their duty, yet reasonable and fair, someone you could have dealings with. Things would have been so much better if only that square-jawed bully weren't hanging over them.Ghiblihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08982697403687562134noreply@blogger.com
