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!

Who would've thought cuddly wuddly big teary anime eyes that melts you into this puddle of ooze could actually EXIST in real life If you read Azrael's editorials in Outpostnine, he nicknamed one of his students as "Ultimate Sweetness" and he describes her cuteness to be so extreme that it has this artery-clogging effects that could cause instant coronary heart attack and sudden death of heart explosion or something Oh duuuuude... I think I almost squished the magazine and myself to death when I opened the TV Pia page and saw one Hamtaro-Yoshitsune staring right at me with those cuddly wuddly eyes!!!

=

Please excuse me while I screech myself to exploding into gazillions of screeching pieces!!!! OH MY DONO YOSHITSUNE-SAMA Suddenly I'm seeing that yamabushi CUP-SLASH-HAT in a VERY different light now! Go click the bigger scan in the next page to see just HOW HAMTARO he looks!!!!

I've been meaning to talk about Yoshitsune but never got a chance...

He talks a lot about Yoshitsune in the article~ usually Fineboys articles aren't really substantial, but anyway there are still need-to-know tidbit facts *LOL*... and plus I just watched him elaborate on and on about his Yoshitsune experience in this NHK clip... now I'm all sentimental about Yoshi Uwa...

Anyway...
