When you meet your past once again. And it rules.

One of those things I have always liked since I was a kid was cartoons. I mean, who doesn't like cartoons as a kid? But one thing, I loved japanimation, anime, japanese cartoons, however you wanna call it. As mostly everyone around my age, and where I grew up. The one's you had to know if you were a boy were Dragonball Z, Pokemon, and Sailor Moon (if you were a girl) . Not gonna lie, but Pokemon was fucking sweet (and it's still uber sweet).

Anyway, I remember when I started getting into comic books, some of my friends were really into the whole Anime thing. I wasn't like totally in love as a hardcore nerd, but I definitely loved the art, and the action, not to mention the plot lines. I mean, I love Tom and Jerry, the same I love the Coyote and the Road Runner cartoons, but, I love things that are more complex and long. Something that will leave you in suspense for a whole weekend.

Remember when Cartoon Network started doing Toonami? Well, I for certainly do. And I did watch Sailor Moon, haha. Anyway, when they started airing the Gundam Series, I was psyched. I watched every single episode of Gundam Wing, and if I wasn't going to be home because of baseball or basketball practice, I would leave the VHS to record it. Or simply stay awake until midnight to catch on the episode. This series became my favorite Anime of all time. And one of those parts of my childhood I love the most, and remember the most. (Note to self: I usually don't like kids, but I admit I was a pretty cool one, haha.)

So last night, I was reminiscing, and at the same time trying to look for something to do, since I was off the next day. I remembered watching Naruto pretty much all the way to the current episodes on youtube, and I do recall watching the Gundam W. movie there (thing I never found again). So I searched for it, and found the first 25 episodes. The cool thing is that I noticed the last one was just uploaded not even 24 hours ago (that is from me writing this entry).

The whole deal is that I spent pretty much all of last night and day today watching the 25 episodes. And I am still excited about it as I was then. I have to admit w that when I first watched the series, my English wasn't as good as it is these days (still isn't great, but it's better than then). I did not understand a lot of things. So a second run through the series made it even more interesting than the first time. I have to say that I really want the whole series in a box set so I can watch it anytime. As well as the movie, which is amazing. I just hope this dude puts those other 25 episodes pretty soon, because I am going crazy already.



Just search it on youtube if you wanna see it. I am not gonna bother putting up links here. Over and out.
