SOLDIER

I still remember it vividly...
it was a dark evening, not much unlike tonight - 
and the world was wondrous, as it was grand. 


a calendar from 1998 can be reused in 2015...  and if we could turn back time, would the WORLD change for us too as we waited?

The greatest Anime

Botox for the soul


...if you were alive in 1995...

If you were alive in 1995 - and had a propensity for hyperviolence.  If you understand when I say that "back then" the cutting edge of video quality was physically 2.490 times larger than a BLU-RAY disc, and larger than a pie tin.  If you smile when I say that I bought a Japanese "Laser Disc" (actually, 6) with the help from an email "pen-pal" for 50 U$ dollars each (or a VHS at the same price - back then you had to speak Japanese to get anything from Japan to the USA).  Then please watch the newest 2nd season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure part 3.

indeed tonight, I felt myself 20 years younger.

Sure, the OVA in 1995 was better, the animation was better, the direction was better, the cheesy computer graphic animation (and damn you 'matrix' and '24' - Jojo did it 10 years before you did) was better - oh and that damn dog that sounds like a dying old woman - the voice acting was so much better...  but it's OK.  We are still alive today.

What is up with that cheesy OP song?  Is it 1988?  What is up with that ED song?  Is this a Nintendo NES 8-bit game?  In 1995 they had SKYWALKER SOUND doing the music.  Totally 3 cuts above everything else in its league sound wise that could hold its own today.

It's okay...  when I hear that ending song I kind of shed a tear.  I won't admit it out loud but I do like that ending song.

...because, when I close my eyes - it's 1995 all over again.
