DL Posted February 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 King of Thorn? What's it about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZhaneX Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 King of Thorn takes place in a futuristic world, which is currently being threatened by a disease known as 'Medusa', named from the Ancient Greek monstress due to it's 1 and only symptom. Some time after infection, the victim will be turned to stone, and die. There is no cure, and the death rate is 100%.In order to attempt to save some lives, a select group of infected are placed into a cryosleep in a state-of-the-art facility in England. Around 120 people are selected, to be awakened at such a time when a cure may be found, maybe hundreds of years in the future.The story of King of Thorn follows a young girl (I forget her name) who is chosen for the cryosleep program, though she regrets that she was chosen instead of her twin sister, who is also infected.Awakening from the cryosleep an unknown amount of time later, the girl awakens along with the others who had been put to sleep. They find that the facility in now decrepid, and overrun with large Thorns. As they try and find a way out of the cryochamber, they find themselves set upon by deadly, other-worldly monsters. In a very short amount of time, the 120 something people who had been put to sleep are reduced to a measly 7. Now they have to somehow find a way out of the castle the facility was built in and see what has become of the world, constantly being attacked by monsters, and all of them on a time limit from the encroaching infection of the Medusa, a device on their wrists continually monitering the infection level. It's an excellent manga, and the anime looks amazing from the trailer. If you wanna read the manga, it's on mangafox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Zero Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 i have seen princess mononoke, although i somehow get the feeling that that is not the type of anime movie that you are talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Actually that is. In fact it is their most popular movie . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Zero Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 i can see as to why after having viewed it. :lol: it was very epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake the Sage Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Did you know the studio actually wouldn't produce it when it was first offered? They said, an I quote, "You want us to make a movie without a manga? it'll be horrible . . ." And so, Miyizaki made it into a manga- which becomes a huge success- and then gets it made into a movie.

DL Posted March 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 He's not emo... If anything, Naruto and sakura are the emo ones. Sasuke hardly shows his emotions (insanity doesn't count) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
