Fandoms
Lately, I seem to be getting back into my old fandoms, and it's starting to scare me a little. Scared because it's not just one fandom, but lots, and I might start buying all this merchandise and go on some sort of high and crash. XD
Like, last week I'd been rewatching Sailor Moon, but that might have been slightly triggered off by Last Friends, so okay. But then the other night, I don't know why, but I just decided to listen to some X music, and that just moved me like it always does and I rummaged through my manga and listened to the drama CDs too. And then, yesterday I just finished rewatching Banner of the Stars II (only intended to watch a couple of eps, but ended up watching like 7 XD), and I got the usual chills cos this series is REALLY good. And then just now, I finally watched the new Evangelion movie You Are (Not) Alone, and wow, Eva is magic. Even after all these years, even after watching the series countless times, I still found it mesmerizing. Eva is the show that really got me into anime and it's just so nostalgic even now. Hearing terms like "AT Field", "LCL", "Geofront" and "Human Instrumentality Project", brings back so many great memories. =^_^= The movie itself is basically a compressed retelling of the first 7 or so episodes of Eva, and there is very little new footage, but the animation has been completely cleaned up and it looks beautiful. There's also some amazing use of CG, especially with the 5th Angel (Ramiel, the drilling one), and the music is used better too, IMO. There are some new scenes, and one in particular really made me ^___^. On an unrelated note, I don't remember Ritsuko smoking so much. XD But best of all, the seiyuu all reprised their roles~ <3 Oh, how I missed hearing the Eva cast. <3 <3
Ah, fandom is such a great thing, it always fills me with a warm happiness and excitement I can't describe. I'm sure you guys understand it anyway. ^^
But...must...resist...buying...too much...merchandise.... X'D
