I think it finally hit me hard today that Yoshitsune is really, really over One whole year I was commuting back and forth between my downtown apartment and my suburbian home to set my VCR (I get free NHK in my downtown apartment coz its 90% Japanese residents) experiencing botches now and then where I have to re-set my recording for the rerun... and now it's reeeally gonna feel weird that I don't have to do that again, and my concierge is probably gonna miss me coz he won't get my weekly dash-in-dash-out visits anymore

And previously my bawl-o-rama record was held by Kimutaku's 「空から降る一億の星」, but that record was broken by Yoshitsune *LOL* OMFGWTF never cried so much in one episode, and it doesn't help that I watched it last night at 2 AM in the morning and ended up with a huge headache the next morning

Ahhhh and I should've watched that NHK Saturday Studio Park live interview clip before I watched Yoshitsune because Takki's message to the audience was to bring a towel BATHTOWEL to watch Yoshi (for the flood of tears) and OMG HOW TRUE!!!! No, I didn't bring a bathtowel with me so I ended up with more blotches on my Mogu

That was really sad though... I think I cried the most when Saburou made that crabby kani face like a little kid to his Yoshitsune-sama Aaaaaaa... and Kisanta... Jirou's gory death... and that split second moment when Yoshitsune and Benkei only exchanged few words and said goodbye with their eyes I can almost hear it in English... "It was an honor serving you, sir!"

But I do have one small complaint about Yoshitsune's death scene though -.- WTF was that white light exploding through the roof thingy! THAT WAS REALLY CHEESY... and ALMOST DESTROYED MY BAWL-O-RAMA MARATHON coz I almost BURST OUT LAUGHING!!! *thud* And the white stallion in the sky.... OMG thud... *complains complains* ahhh OK, the white stallion I can tolerate, but shouldn't Yoshitsune-sama ASCEND to heaven a little more gracefully rather than EXPLODE THROUGH THE ROOF like that? o_O;;;

But all in all, twas a good year And Yoshitsune's last episode ended very well too. I liked the way they showed a vision of young Shanaou running through the forests of Kurama mountain, a place where he grew up~ ahhh it's like, Yoshitsune's spirit never really left the places and the people he loved

Otsukaresama, Yoshitsune-sama, and see you in Osaka!
