MIA- Paper Planes

[timepiececlock]

I don't know what it is about today; I'm getting nostalgic for old fandoms. So I just rewatched a clip with the most gorgeous use of original score I've ever seen in tv anime about four times. (00:45 second mark)* And yes, that's Cowboy Bebop. It's been ages since I watched it, but I almost want to go back and rewatch the whole show. I miss the music for that thing, and I miss the characters too.

*Mind you, clip this has almost none of the original emotional resonance when taken out of episode 5 context, but it's still teh pretty. And features a little bit my ship.

**So, so conflicted about the very idea of Keanu Reeves. Still. A failure of Spike's character in a live-action CB movie might actually have the power to disappoint me more than the live-action ATLA movie, which at least will have epic awesome of the Slumdog Millionaire kid and thus guaranteed some level of entertainment.


ETA: On a separate note, counting Spike Spiegel, how many anime guys are there on shows I fangirl who have lost/augmented an eye? Cause I'm counting three, with Hatori Sohma and Roy Mustang. But I feel like I'm forgetting someone. I think it's all the same eye, too, though I'm not sure about Spike's.

ETA Again: This song is everywhere.

I don't know if it's considered anime, but Avatar has Zuko and his scarred eye.

True! That's what my brain must have been telling me in silent whispers. And that's on the left eye, too. As is Roy's and Hatori's.

Oohhh! And Mushishi, how could I forget Ginko? He must have been the one I was trying to remember for anime. Also the left eye.

Wow. That's amazing. Ginko -love. Zuko -love. Mustang - love. Spike -love. It IS astounding!!!
