Samurai 7!
I intended to watch only one episode a day but... yeah... totally didn't happen.
First off, I started out loving Katsushiro and at the end I really hate him. All the wisdom those five others had and their lives had to be lost or put in jeopardy to teach him what they kept saying. Its a really powerful story behind him. I really respect that.
I hate him because his inexperience killed Heihachi and Kyuzo.
I really hate him because duh... close range shooting... the bullets will go through the target! Why, Kyuzo, why? I wanted to see him fight Kanbe. So badly. And he was pretty. *mourns*
And I really hoped, with tears in my eyes, that Heihachi would be okay because I knew the larger portion of the capital was going to go down with Kanbe and the dude I can't remember how to spell his name on it and they would walk away with scratches. Heihachi... I cried for him. I will give him rice~
And Kyuzo because... he's Kyuzo.
But yes, I'm definitely going to actually back track and check out the original Kurosawa film. Just about everyone who knows me is shocked that I haven't seen it.
And when I say "I cried watching the ending of Samurai 7" I mean I was bawling. I'll go to work in the morning and they'll wonder what happened. That and some other stuff happened but I've decided that I will finally take action with this ongoing problem. Yup.
I feel better having talked about the anime and such so now I'm very hungry.
