No man is an island. I'm a firm believer that if you're going through something in life, someone else in another place is feeling the same thing. It's tried and tested truth. We think our problems are unique and larger than life but in reality, we're under the same sky, as significant as the stars. We're not alone in our trials and temptations. We just don't know where to look for revelation and help. Sometimes all it takes is a out-stretched hand, a simple Hi or for me, a smile.
We all need 'Happy' in our lives and I found myself smiling through the silly j-drama - Zettai Kareshi [Absolute Boyfriend]. No don't dismiss it just by the title. I know it's a classic case of J-syndrome. Beautiful people, beautiful surroundings, beautiful food, beautiful clothes. Plot is secondary. It's shallow but who cares? It made me happy.
For those who haven't watched it. It's basically about a girl who seeks a perfect lover. She gets a surprise when a robot is sent to be her ideal boyfriend. Tenjo Nighto is a total goofball, a hot one at that but I love his development. From robot to semi-human. His devotion is touching. It makes you want a robot like him too. I've heard all sorts of nasty things about the show but I found myself tearing like a leaky tap from Episode 10 till the end. Words don't do justice to the emotions evoked. I'm not gonna be a spoiler but seriously, everything that has life, even if it cannot express it, deserves to be loved. Humans, animals, plants, even robots. Who's to say they are not alive? I love my MacBook. If my dorm was on fire, that's the first thing I'll take. I cannot do without it and I won't. Even if it's not a living thing, why can I love it? I love my fandoms even if they are just pixels and colours. I adore my flist, even if I don't know all of you. Becos' in that moment in time, you are special and you made a difference in my life. That's all it matters. Memories are forever.
I finally finished the 11 episodes and I need to stop being a useless sap. But you have no idea how happy the lead actress' final decision made me. She made me cry. He made my heart ache. I'm not a mecha or sci-fi fan, really. But I loved the show. It was... heartwarming. The ending was thought provoking and made a lot of sense. I'm a media student and I remember vaguely that my tutor once said the pleasure derived from consumption of media and the experience received are what makes the entertainment special. It's always the process isn't it? It's idealistic but I want to believe.
On a side note, Kaji [DL3 momoshiro] made me giggle. Hiro [Hana Kimi] was... refreshing though I found him rather 2D. The robot guy wasn't the best actor but give him a chance, he'll creep his way into your heart. I've so many things I want to say. Not about the show but about the feelings it brought up, about the moral issues it made me think about. But if I go on, I'll spoil the show for anyone who hasn't seen it. Trust me. 11 episodes ain't very long. -goes off to bawl again-
/EDIT - JAS!!!!!!! DO YOU REMEMBER THE GUY WE WERE SQUEALING ABOUT IN BAMBINO? KUWAHARA?
