The story of Empire of Corpses (Shisha no Teikoku) takes place in 19th century Europe, and revolves around John Watson. He is scouted by the government to become a secret agent. However, Watson lives in a world where "Frankensteins", human corpses that are re-purposed with a false soul in order to use them as laborers, are used to improve industrial development. What if I told you that this anime movie has some theories? Please take a look and see for yourself.
Sherlock Holmes' partner John Watson is a medical student: John H. Watson, known as Dr. Watson, is a fictional character in the Sherlock Holmes stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Watson is Sherlock Holmes' friend, assistant and sometime flatmate, and the first person narrator of all but four of these stories. He is described as the typical Victorian-era gentleman, unlike the more eccentric Holmes. He is astute, although he can never match his friend's deductive skills. Now he's reviving a corpse--Herbert West style. Pretty cool huh?
Man Friday from Robinson Crusoe: Friday is one of the main characters of Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe. Robinson Crusoe names the man, with whom he cannot at first communicate, Friday because they first meet on that day. The character is the source of the expression "Man Friday", used to describe a male personal assistant or servant. Robinson Crusoe spends twenty-eight years on an island off the coast of Venezuela with his talking parrot Poll, his pet dog, and a tame goat as his only companions. In his twenty-fourth year, he discovers that Carib cannibals occasionally use a desolate beach on the island to kill and eat their captives. Crusoe observes one of the Caribs, kept captive and about to be eaten, escape his captors. Crusoe ambushes two pursuers, and the others leave in their canoes without knowing what happened to their companions. The escaped captive bows in gratitude to Crusoe, who decides to employ him as a servant. He names him Friday after the weekday upon which the rescue takes place.
Friday is Noble Savage 007: A noble savage is a literary stock character who embodies the concept of an idealized indigene, outsider, or "other" who has not been "corrupted" by civilization, and therefore symbolizes humanity's innate goodness. "Savage" at that time could mean "wild beast" as well as "wild man". The phrase later became identified with the idealized picture of "nature's gentleman", which was an aspect of 18th-century sentimentalism. The noble savage achieved prominence as an oxymoronic rhetorical device after 1851, when used sarcastically as the title for a satirical essay by English novelist Charles Dickens, whom some believe may have wished to disassociate himself from what he viewed as the "feminine" sentimentality of 18th and early 19th-century romantic primitivism. Royal Navy Commander James Bond, CMG, RNVR, is a fictional character created by British journalist and novelist Ian Fleming in 1953. He is the protagonist of the James Bond series of novels, films, comics and video games. Fleming wrote twelve Bond novels and two short story collections, although the last two books—The Man with the Golden Gun and Octopussy and The Living Daylights—were published posthumously. The Bond character is a Secret Service agent, code number 007, residing in London but active internationally. Was Friday in the movie a James Bond who was at first a wild man before becoming a spy?
Hadaly Lilith from Future Eve: The protagonist in the science fiction novel «The Future Eve,» the inventor Edison, proudly prophesies his «future Eve»—an incarnation of the ‹eternally female› created by means of the highest skill and most modern technology: But this copy will outlive the original and always look young and alive. It is artificial flesh that will never age….His artificial woman may be modeled after a living woman and is for this reason a copy—however she is a ‹copy› that in several respects is supposed to be superior to the ‹original.› Above all in that she triumphs over the impermanent nature of human life and human beauty. In addition, Hadaly—this is the name of Edison's «future Eve»—is also highly intelligent and has refined manners, traits that make her all the more desirable. Unlike humans of the same sex, because she for her part has no active desire or other further demands on men, she exhibits a certain emotional coldness that even her admirers find uncanny. At this point the perfection of the artificial woman—quite similar to the animated doll Olimpia in E. T. A. Hoffmanns «Der Sandmann,» [20] reveals itself to be a monstrous trait. For this reason, Edison will ultimately destroy his invention. Meanwhile, in the age of information and biotechnological producibility, Hadaly appears to embody herself under new circumstances. In the meantime, in the profane reality of postmodern everyday media, the «future Eve» has taken shape in a highly prosaic way. The ‹femmes fatales digitales who icon: next page. Hadaly is a mechanical woman constructed by Thomas Edison. In Future Eve; Edison offers to construct for Ewald a machine-woman in the form of Alicia but without any of her bothersome personality. He shows Ewald the prototype of the android, named Hadaly, and Ewald is intrigued and accepts Edison’s offer. Hadaly is a large breasted, artificial woman.
Moneypenny from James Bond: Eve Moneypenny is a fictional character in the James Bond novels and films. She is secretary to M, who is Bond's boss and head of the British Secret Service (MI6). Although she has a small part in most of the films, it is always highlighted by the underscored romantic tension between her and Bond (something that is virtually nonexistent in Ian Fleming's novels, though is somewhat more apparent in the Bond novels by John Gardner and Raymond Benson). On that note, she is not always considered to be a Bond girl, having never had anything more than a professional relationship with Bond, to her dismay. She holds the rank of Lieutenant RN, which is a prerequisite rank for this position. She is cleared for Top Secret, Eyes Only, and Cabinet-Level intelligence reports, the latter of which she is often required to prepare, and in some cases present. She is utterly dedicated to her work, which means she has little time for a social life. A close confidante of her boss, she also enjoys a flirtatious—though never consummated—relationship with James Bond, whom she understands perfectly. Moneypenny was never given any backstory until the film Skyfall when she was re-introduced to the series following the 2006 reboot of the series' continuity. Moneypenny is originally a field agent assigned to work with Bond on an operation in Istanbul. It ends in disaster when she accidentally shoots Bond while he is fighting with the mercenary they are chasing. She is temporarily suspended over the incident and reassigned to desk duty, assisting Gareth Mallory, the Chairman of the Intelligence and Security Committee, who has been assigned to watch over MI6. She later meets Bond in Macau and aids in locating an agent of Raoul Silva's before returning to London. After her return to London, she is a participant in another shootout with Silva, when Silva ambushes M at a public inquiry into MI6. By the end of the film, she decides to retire from fieldwork and becomes Mallory's secretary once he takes over the role of M.
M is for Mycroft Holmes: M is a fictional character in Ian Fleming's James Bond book and film series; the character is the Head of the Secret Intelligence Service—also known as MI6. Mycroft Holmes is the elder brother (by seven years) of detective Sherlock Holmes. He is described as having abilities of deduction and knowledge exceeding even those of his brother, though their practical use is limited by his poor physique and dislike of fieldwork. But now two are combined together as well as one of the main villains.
The One is Frankenstein's Monster: is a fictional character whose fictional creator was Victor Frankenstein. The monster first appeared, without any name, in Mary Shelley's 1818 novel Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus. Shelley's title thus compares Victor Frankenstein to the mythological character Prometheus who fashioned humans out of clay and gave them fire. Although nameless in Shelley's novel, the creature took on the name "Frankenstein" in later years. In Shelley's Gothic story, Victor Frankenstein builds the creature in his laboratory through an ambiguous method consisting of chemistry and alchemy. Shelley describes the monster as 8-foot-tall, hideously ugly, but sensitive and emotional. The monster attempts to fit into human society, but is shunned, which leads him to seek revenge against his creator.
Alexei Karamazov and Kolva Krasotkin from The Brothers Karamazov: The Karamazov Brothers is the final novel by the Russian author Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Dostoyevsky spent nearly two years writing The Brothers Karamazov, which was published as a serial in The Russian Messenger from January 1879 to November 1880. The author died less than four months after its publication. Alyosha is the protagonist in The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. His full name is given as Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov and he is also referred to as Alyosha, Alyoshka, Alyoshenka, Alyoshechka, Alexeichik, Lyosha, and Lyoshenka. He is the youngest of the Karamazov brothers, being nineteen years old at the start of the novel. The preface and the opening chapter proclaim him as the hero. Dostoyevsky intended to write a sequel, which would detail the rest of Alyosha's life, but died shortly after the publication of The Brothers Karamazov. The Brothers Karamazov is a passionate philosophical novel set in 19th century Russia, that enters deeply into the ethical debates of God, free will, and morality. It is a spiritual drama of moral struggles concerning faith, doubt, judgement, and reason, set against a modernizing Russia, with a plot which revolves around the subject of patricide. Dostoyevsky composed much of the novel in Staraya Russa, which inspired the main setting.
Historical people is in the anime movie: There are some figures from history, here are some--Seigo Yamazawa is Samurai and Japanese officer who participated in the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). Colonel Frederick Gustavus Burnaby was a British Army intelligence officer. Burnaby's adventurous spirit, pioneering achievements, and swashbuckling courage earned an affection in the minds of Victorian imperial idealists. As well as travelling across Europe and Central Asia, he mastered the art of ballooning, spoke a number of foreign languages fluently, stood for parliament twice, published several books, and was admired and feted by the women of London High Society. His popularity was legendary, appearing in a number of stories and tales of empire. Ulysses S. Grant as the 18th President of the United States (1869–77). As Commanding General of the United States Army (1864–69), Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the American Civil War. He implemented Congressional Reconstruction, often at odds with Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson. Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African-American citizenship, and support economic prosperity nationwide. His presidency has often come under criticism for protecting corrupt associates and in his second term leading the nation into a severe economic depression. Thomas Edison was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and the long-lasting, practical electric light bulb. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park", he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production and large-scale teamwork to the process of invention, and because of that, he is often credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory.
The Empire of Corpses is a sequel to the 2015 Victor Frankenstein/Victor Frankenstein and the Empire of Corpses are similar: Remember the 2015 movie Victor Frankenstein? With James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliffe? In the ending; Somewhere in the Scottish countryside, Victor sets out on a new adventure. Could Empire of Corpses be a sequel? Is Victor Frankenstein is still alive? Well, John and Friday are by the mountainside where the monsters that reside the hill as laborers. Actually; these two are an expy of each other. What is an expy? An expy is a character from one series who is unambiguously and deliberately based on a character in another, older series. A few minor traits — such as age and name — may change, but there's no doubt that they are almost one and the same. Often seen in different works by the same writer(s) or production team. Victor Frankenstein and John Watson are alike. Both are students, both revive life out of death, but Victor is diverse with Watson as he is more insane and determined to go too far! Watson is different. Igor and Friday are similar to one another. Igor and Friday are assistants, both are loyal to their friends, and both are however Igor was not a revive corpse or emotionless. He was just a nameless hunchback being mistreated in the circus until Victor rescued him. Friday is a revived zombie while he was emotionless; but he was no nameless hunchback and has no love interest. Not Hadaly. Hadaly and Lorelei are also equal. Hadaly and Lorelei while they both are pretty while they are part of the supporting figure in the story. Coincidence? Who knows!
