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.

The first time I saw "Ballad of Fallen Angels" was like a religious experience. I had never seen ANYTHING like this scene before. I spent so much time trying to figure it out. I think with Bebop, as much as I am a huge fan of the story, I am an even greater fan of the back story, the things we don't know but catch a glimpse of. This is just the best. And YK and the Seatbelts are amazing.

Thanks for the great memory!!!
