Hello everyone,
It's good to be back in the posting mood today, and its always good to be back among other anime fans as a whole :)
What inspired this post today is a little bit more than anime. This morning i had the pleasure of reading the post of a good friend of mine and a fellow anime maniac at theotaku and Myotaku for the past few years, and now at Version Vibrant, and his post seemed to touch me in such a profound way that i guess it turned a light on inside a part of me that had been dark for a while. And at that moment i realized how much i had missed our conversation and interaction, not only with anime, but in life in general. We had and have so much in common when it came to our fears, our likes, dislikes, our long hair lol, and of course our constant battle in the struggle of being single and finding a way to interact with women we potentially felt interested in.
Life is a battlefield thats for sure and in essence - we were like Ken and Ryu from Street Fighter. Two blood brothers with the same will to succeed, and the same will to overcome whatever stood in our way, while managing to find a way to still be ourselves in the ever changing world. While i read this morning, i was reminded of how we confided in each other for support and advice and how i was able to learn alot from someone who had been going through alot of the same things i had at points in my life, and i really took the time this morning to sit here and appreciate what we have endured and overcome as a team, as friends and in a way - as brothers.
After i read his post i commented as usual, and then i pulled out my box set of the anime series "Street Fighter II V" and started watching away. Those of you who havent had the chance to watch this series or own it are really missing out. Even if you arent a fan of the games or anime as a whole, you can still find this series very enjoyable from its great fighting, comedy, characters, and one of my favorites - the music. To be totally honest I dont recall this series having one bad episode and im pretty picky when it comes to stuff like that lol. The Ken and Vega battle is arguably my favorite anime battle to date - Its bloody, passionate and skillfully crafted and to top it all off, the music was perfect. Its not one to be missed thats for sure, so if you havent had the privelidge of seeing this series , i highly reccomend it, hell its worth it just to see some of the fights, especially the Ken & Vega battle :)
All in all i considered today a day of celebration i guess. A day that i could sit down and remember the good times and pave the way for hopefully some future good times, and i wanted to thank a friend for his friendship over the years. I wouldnt trade it for the world, or all the anime in the world for that matter :)
For Enin
-thanks again and stay strong brother :)
