rushrock Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 (This is a serious topic. :roll:) Fantasy is a genre of pretty much anything. Books. Movies. TV shows. They can all be defined as fantasy. Fantasy itself is a genre that uses magic and other "make believe" elements that make a plot. Fantasy can range from dragons and faeries to angels and demons. Many modern things have elements of fantasy in them. They usually consist of events and beings that aren't real, and for that reason, some people don't like fantasy. Some examples are Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and many types of anime. In my opinion, fantasy is absolutely beautiful. Trinity Blood, Bleach, The Lord of the Rings, Inuyasha, they're all amazing. Fantasy can take us all on wonderous journeys of thoughts, feelings, and new ideas. Maybe it's not all real, but it doesn't matter. The creators of fantasy really know what they're doing. They can compose the elements of fantasy and mix them with modern day dilemmas, and they can make it interesting for anyone. If you're into angels, demons, vampires, dragons, wizards, or anything else, they've made a fantasy story about it. The stories are composed so well that anyone can enjoy it, provided it's the right type of fantasy for them. I think fantasy is wonderful, and without it, the world would be a dull place. Post your opinions on fantasy here. Do you like fantasy? What kinds are you into? What's your favorite fantasy story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warri0r45 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 i think its great. I dont know if this will make sense, but i really like fantasy music - really ambiet, abstract, and sometimes fear inducing music, although i dont really know any artists particular to what im talking about. Any film that is really abstract and trippy i like also. any reccomendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

issy2 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Fantasy is our escape, our imagination. It's like a world we can get to if we want to. I love fantasy, I make up my own stories, watch films and read books. Probably my favourite fantasy would have to be 'Darkling Plain' by Philip Reeve. That's a book and a half. =D> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget all those school subjects...And fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mixand Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 I thought you meant some other kind of fantasy :lol: ... atleast i have a better post count "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel AdamsMy new site. [bETA] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any film that is really abstract and trippy i like also. any reccomendations? Look for some ambient metal, or some good doom metal or drone. :D. Incredibly atmospheric. Anyways, I enjoy the fantasy setting :D, both as content for Games/Film and Music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necromagus Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I don't really like most fantasy-themed music, or fantasy-themed metal at least. It seems like they just can't do it without immediately becoming unbelievably ridiculous: http://youtube.com/watch?v=4l1FG2q4kVQ My Tip.It Times Articles (10 and counting) || The Varrock Library Author Index projectDo you dare to dream? - Part 19 added. || The Hospital (WIP) - New story!Necromagus looks like a viking ... with glasses.

Guest AshKaYu Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 I like Fantasy but at the same time it's really sad, because you know life will never be like that. But for books, I love Artemis Fowl(don't care what you say, it's GREAT!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuBai Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 listen to some of these samples of the mirrormask soundtrack on amazon. I got the soundtrack for christmas, and I listen to it alot (especialy track 17). It's not metal or heavy...i just like the abstract nature of it.
