The design of the cosplayed character Artorias is heavily influenced by the design of the character Guts from the manga Berserk.

Dark Souls in general is heavily influenced by Berzerk! Miyazaki, the director of Demon Souls and Dark Souls, is a really really big fan.

American Akira is never happening. That thing will forever be punted into the long grass because no studio is willing to commit the money that'd need.

Not to mention it'd be garbage anyway, so it's no big loss.

If it's going to draw from the manga, a trilogy's not really a bad thing if they split two volumes per movie. Even the original movie only makes up the first two or three volumes of the manga at best, and that was rushing a lot.

In like 85-95% of her photos she's making the EXACT same face. It's just... I dunno why it's hilarious to me but drat it's giving me giggle fits.

Um....hmmmm. From experience.

People have set facial expressions for certain situations. The most easily and readily available is the "cheese" moment. There are also set stances, which the subject feels flatters them the best. You can google "Hand on hip" pose and get tons of examples. Then there are people whom will even take it a step further and observe themselves in a mirror to find their "best side" and present that, when an opportunity arises. This behavior can even go into observing oneself under different lighting conditions. Even further it can evolve into a desire to be seen and recorded in the most flattering way possible. Attention seeking is absolutely ingrained in humans.

Now that's one side of the spectrum.

The other end is the exact opposite behavior. "Don't take my picture, I'll break your camera", "No I don't photograph well" so on and so forth. Others will allow themselves to be recorded, but will knowingly attempt to self sabotage, in, what I can only guess, is a self fulfilling prophecy about their self image. People will look at a picture of themselves and say, "Oh I don't know how to smile", "Oh my crows feet look horrible" and so on.

It's really very interesting observing it all.

The point is. She's practiced that face, looking in a mirror and believes it is her "best look" and will default to it given an opportunity to do so. Your observation and the amusement from it is absolutely justified.

If you read it then please, for the love of God, skip its sequels. They aren't terrible but the first series at least ends.

The reason that this is hilarious to you is because you're being weird. Don't be weird, please.
