Hi all, I am, again, about to open another thread that will probably fire up your interest. I wasn't expecting my last topic would reach 6+ pages in just a matter of time and I was just away on a province for a few weeks.
Erm... before we forgot, this isn't your average Top # anime. Acutally 2 of my most special anime didn't even reach Top 10  . I consider this thread to be the same as "love". It's like this, you see a person, then you fell in love with that person even though there's someone you know better than that person. Do you get the idea? Erm... anyway... enough with the explanation...
Ok... here goes... There are three special anime for me, 3x3 Eyes, Love Hina & Air TV Hmmm.... how do I explain this.... 3x3 Eyes Ok, let's start with 3x3 Eyes since it's the first one that's become special to me. It all started around June 1998, that's when I first saw 3x3 Eyes, it was aired on AXN Anime Marathon. Actually, the one I saw was the 2nd OAV and it made me cry. This is the first show that actually manage to made me cry. spoiler[Around the end of the 3rd Episode where Howashio told Yakumo how happy she is to make fond memories with him.]. To tell the truth, the one I saw was the AXN dubbed version and they really did a great job in blowing up my mind because of the voice acting. Then I saw the 1st OAV and completed the Anime's story. At first I thought it was an open-ending show but various reasons surfaced in my mind that tells me it is not. So, I made a search on the web (the 1st time I've browse the net for some anime) & found out about manga (that's when I understand that most anime are from mangas). Then after that I've read some of the translated script of 3x3 Eyes manga and it fired up my desire... I WANT THIS. Here in my country (Philippines), licensed anime and manga are like needle in a haystock. It actually took me 2 years to find the manga and another year to get most of the volumes and even now I'm still waiting for a chance to get Vol. 38, 39, 40 ~_~. I still remember those painful & happy memories searching for this stuff and the lines "Why did you buy something you wouldn't understand." "un... nande ka naa..." Err... anyway there was a translated script so... thanks to Mr. Kaiyanwang. Yoshi! Let's go to Love Hina Let me guess what you're thinking! You're probably thinking I like this one because "Effort is what counts" err.... wrong? Ok, it's because.... ummm.... I got hooked up by Yui Horie's (Narusegawa Naru) voice, maybe... Actually, what I really like is the manga, I know some people here thinks that the story is so simple. And that they know Naru is spoiler[Keitarou's childhood sweetheart & they'll eventually end up together] but do they know how Ken Akamatsu will end the story? I like every chapter of the manga specially from the last volume where spoiler[Naru fell asleep together with Keitarou inside the train & she dreamt of taking a train trip to the happy memories of the past at Hinata-sou]. It feels like seeing someone or something that has been long forgotten. I almost joined Naru in crying out the memories of the past. Then after that I decided to study again... school I mean... Oh... I even made a Half-Life map of Hinata-sou but there's a problem... you need a fast PC to play the map since there are lots of visible polygons... erm... sorry getting carried away. Anyway, the map was made base through my knowledge of how Hinata-sou would probably look like if you take some pictures of the inn from the manga & anime since I couldn't find any blueprint of the inn ~_~. I even made a cross over fanfic of 3x3 Eyes Love Hina, and also the popular quote "Effort is what counts" yup... I hear/read this a lot, but nothing convinced me the way Keitarou did. Though I still believe there are thing you won't be able to do with just effort.
Last and the most recent is Air TV Have you ever encounter the feeling of having something in your mind which you couln't remove? Anyway... there are lots & lots of things I like about Air TV. The animation, the sounds, the characters, the story. If you combine all of these elements it will give you a very nostalgic feeling (it does in my case ). I'm not saying these randomly ok, Because it really makes me feel nostalgic. Why? There are various reasons.
My fondness of dinosaurs when I was a child, I specially like those long neck ones . I even tried renting "The Land Before Time" just to watch it again and Denver the Last Dinosaur, and the famous Dinobots of Transformer Gao!
The place they are in, it makes me remember the tranquillity of the province. I remember 2 scenes from the game. spoiler[when Yukito steps on the trolly and Haruko pushes it and when Yukito is riding together with Haruko in the big bike]. I used to play with my friend in a trolly when I was a kid, the second would be similar to Haruko & Yukito riding together. I remember it clearly since we almost died there. Anyone who have played the game might comprehend what I'm talking about. Ok, here's what happened, I was riding bicycle with my friend, to my left side, the high way, to my right, a cliff & below is a river. My stupid friend suddenly leaned right to see how deep the water is and as a result the bicycle turned right and we tumble down almost fallin to the cliff, I yelled at him "Are you trying to kill us?!" and it didn't end there. As we are about to go home he did it again, but this time we're on the other side of the High way... erm... we're in the high way actually, and up ahead, a flyover. My friend told me to cross over the flyover... O_o I refused of course and as a result he leaned left making the bike turn left then suddenly a loud "screeching" sound can be heard from behind. It was actually a taxi O_O. The taxi driver opened his side window and yelled at us "If you're going to kill yourselves don't involve me!". I can only laugh myself when I remember this... Here's another one you might not believe, as we all know, Misuzu told us spoiler[she suddenly can't move her legs], most people would probably think "That's impossible", Hell no! is not impossible since it happened to me, my legs suddenly grew some weird marks then the marks became wounds then my leg turned to look like rotten meat. Actually, the looks of it will probably make you say "Ewww! What in the world is that!?" There are 2 reasons I have to why it happened. The doctors said "infections" and the other one is 'I was... erm... "cursed" by "duendes"' (Philippine culture and beliefs). I thought I wouldn't be able to walk forever.
Here goes another one.... the crying for no apparent reason, Yup, happens to me when I was a child. I can clearly recall one, it was in elementary days, the teacher told me to answer some simple question written on the blackboard when I suddenly cried the teacher approach me and asked me why am I crying. To tell the truth, I have no idea why I'm crying myself, then one of my classmate told the teacher I seem to have a fever. As a result they called my guardian and sent me back home. Doesn't that scene look familiar to you . I remember once again, a child, around 7 yrs. old, I look at him, then he suddenly cried "Waaaah", that made me nervous Do I look scary!? I'm not even scaring him! Like I said everything about this show makes me feel nostalgic, that includes the sounds. I wouldn't normally listen to instrumentals and this one made me remember two game BGM I really like "Zelda: Link to a Past Final Ending Theme" & "Terranigma - Crysta's theme" Oh... how I longed for the Terranigma manga... that's one of my ultimate wish and I've almost forgotten about it. I wish I could get a hold of it even just the scan...
Anyway.... I have a feeling that this show was specially made to make me feel nostalgic, and add those coincidental scenes... What more can I ask? When I think about my special Anime, I think they share some similar idea... like happy & sad memories of the past. And to add why these are special? It's because I wouldn't normally do things like studying, spending lots of money, making some map, and writing this erm... very very long post and babble about my weird past .
