...So, yeah, went to the Sharks hockey game tonight. Was much fun! Also, took friend from H.S. who haven't spoken to in at least 5 months, except once in passing. But all was good, and we instantly re-bonded over--you guessed it (or maybe you didn't?)-- ANIME! Also, it was her first hockey game. I think we'll make a fan out her yet.
When we got back my house, I made her sit and watch my two favorite Trigun vids, and we had some nostalgic moments over the hotness of Vash, the craziness of Knives, the sadness of Wolfwood, and also the whole way the show ended and the flashback episode.
And then she said "I wanna show you this..." ...and when she pulled up the site, before she could say anything I was all:
"YOU HAVE LIVEJOURNAL!"
...So now I've added her (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lin_lin_lucy) and two of my other RL friends to my LJ friends list. I hope I don't scare them off with my constant Buffytalk, but who knows... maybe I'll indirectly create a new fan, even this late in the show history. Constant exposure to Spuffy on my LJ will turn them into BufffyFans and B/S-ers...
Thought some more about Trigun while watching the vids withlin_lin_lucy, and realized why it's still my favorite anime. Continuity. It means everything. I like shows that have a plan, a running plot, throughout the whole arc of the series.
I like shows that have epsiodes that pick up on hints from previous episodes and it all swirls together to create this vast, complex thing, that makes total sense and offers perfect amount of dramatic emotional pay-off, and yet still leaves a bit to mystery & imagination (and possibly a sequel).
Good movies are like that.
Trigun is like that. Buffy is like that. The Vision of Escaflowne is like that. Farscape was becoming that. Angel might be like that; we'll have to see.
The X Files could have been like that, and indeed was like that in the terms of developing/resolving the M/S relationship, but it missed that mark as far as the overall plot goes.

Kimera is right. The Canucks aren't total crap this year. Who knew?
