Unico
Thanksgiving was nice. The food was great and last night I felt happier then I have for a while. I also played Culpa Innata all day and I finished it. The game ended on a cliff hanger and left me with a lot of questions. Actually it's almost as bad as Dreamfall in that regard. I'm beginning to sense a trend here. Why is that adventure games these days keep ending on cliffhangers? It's still a great game though and there had better be a sequel or I'm going to march down to the company myself and demand it.
Last night I went into nostalgia land. I just happened to search for Unico on youtube to see what would come up. The entire second movie was available for me to watch so I did. You have no idea how much of an impact that movie had on me as a kid. The last time I watched it had to be more than 15 years ago. It was most likely my first anime movie before I even knew what anime was. Let me give you an example of how this movie affected me. For one thing I have always had a vivid memory of it. I could still remember specific scenes to this day more than 15 years later. It would often just pop in my mind and I longed for the day I could see it again. Also I remember in high school when we went running in P.E. I would imagine myself as Unico and imagined if I ran fast enough I could turn into a big unicorn with wings. True story. So this movie has always been on my mind.
This movie is actually kind of sinister, depressing and sometimes even scary for a kid. Some people still are creeped out by it, yet they love it. The villian Kuruku is probably the most creepiest villain ever, but also probably one of the most well written and pitiful. I found the movie terribly depressing when I was a kid and I think the soundtrack really adds to that. The soundtrack is beautiful and haunting. If they ever decided to release it I would get it in a heartbeat. It's so well done. The movie is a tear jerker.
Watching this movie was like a huge nostalgia event for me. I felt much the same watching it now as I did as a kid. After I finished watching it I had a warm fuzzy feeling come over me. I'll have you know that very few films can actually make me feel that way. I can truthfully say it's one of the best films ever made, animated or otherwise, period. The first movie is also available to watch. That one I never have seen. At least I don't think I have. So, I'll finally get to see that one. The second movie, Unico in the Island of Magic is the one I've always held firmly in my mind. Here's the first part of the second movie.
