Hideo Kojima A "Huge Fan" Of Twilight, Will Judge Your Fan Art

150
Michael McWhertor, of Kotaku.com, writes:

"Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima is apparently a fan of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series, opting in to judge a fan art contest themed around the second entry in the romantic vampire action series, New Moon.

That's according to a release from Japanese artist network pixiv--pretty much the overseas equivalent of deviantArt--which has tapped Kojima, Evangelion character designer and manga creator Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, and Twilight manga artist Ryuji Gotsubo to judge a Twilight: New Moon fan art contest.

Kojima, who I'd wager aligns himself with Team Jacob, is reportedly a "huge fan" of Twilight, according to the Anime News Network's translation of the release. He'll contribute his expert opinion as well as a signed copy of Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, apparently, to the list of grand prizes."

4 - I went online just to comment on this.
I've got to say: What is wrong with Kojima being a huge fan of Twilight?
I mean, all standards aside I thought it was pretty good! I would totally watch the second.

4.1 - What?
Why?

That movie was terrible! The books are incredible though. I highly recommend them.

They just need a new director...and NOT the guy they just brought in for New Moon. He just got done with The Golden Compass. I'm not expecting much here.

5 - Stephen King > Hideo Kojima
Sorry Kojima, but Stephen King's opinion holds more weight when it comes to this topic.

Twilight is crap, seriously, vampires don't get any more retarded and fruity than Twilight.

Vampires burn in the sunlight, they don't glow and sparkle!

5.2 - wow
Way to judge a series you haven't even read, guys.

This coming from a HUGE Stephen King fan too.

King said Meyer wasn't quite up to Rowling's standards yet, but she'll get there over time...and went on to praise Twilight for what it is.

Whaaaaaa... he's a fan of the series with the rock uterus C-section by sparkly vampire teeth, while the werewolf ex-boyfriend falls instantly in love with the baby?

Oh, sorry, spoiler alert.

Now I feel like MGS must be way more messed up than I'd ever thought possible. Did I miss Sunny being Otacon and Emma's love child implanted in Olga by a robot version of Big Mama?

Yes, thank you! I read all four books within a week, and Breaking Dawn was absolutely awesome. I tried watching Twilight, but it was so horrible I had to stop after 20 minutes. I can see why they're not doing a movie on Breaking Dawn, what with happens after the honeymoon.

9 - I like twilight as well
super power vampires that can walk in the sun like blade but they also have there own special individual perks like mind reading, seeing the future etc. they are better then blade. also you can bring your girlfreind with you becuase of the romance part of it so its a win win. in twilight they were playeing baseball and every time they hit the ball it would fly like a mile out and make a loud thunder sound.

You kids need to grow up. To be a man is not about being macho. It's amazing how you people stereotype others when you people are stereotypes. Hey I hate twilight so I am a mucho guy hey look at me!!. Facepalm.

So because I love to watch sponge bob and avatar with my nephew makes me gay?. Seriously you kids need to grow up.

16 - Kojima is similar to Americans who like the Japanese culture
because Kojima loves the American culture and has been on record saying that the Japanese market should become more like the American market.

But Twilight??
I still like Metal Gear, Kojima but I thought you had taste in movies...

Seems like everyone has seen the Twilight movie, and never read the books. The books are great, especially the fourth where Bella very unexpectedly gets pregnant with Edward's baby, which grows very fast and is half-vampire half-human -and thus destroys her from the inside, and makes her choke up all human food. She does however become a vampire, as planned, when her placenta detaches (making the baby suffocate) and the baby begins ripping her apart, after Edward removes it and injects venom into her heart.
