hmm...
I just re-watched the anime movie 5 cm Per Second, which is a beautiful work of fiction, at least if you ask me. It's, in very short terms, a movie about growing up and letting go of the past, and the sadness which may follow from not being able to do so. I don't know about you, but for me this is an important thing to have in mind. The reason is that I'm a particularly nostalgic person, and, well, I often wish things haven't changed, no matter how good they actually are now. Heck, I even get that feeling when watching longer anime series, or at the end of one; I just miss the way things were before, if you know. Of course, there is the matter of re-watching, but it's just a temporary escape.

Anyway, this closeness I have with the theme of the movie; this identifying with the main character is what has made this movie something very special for me; not as an anime or movie fan, but as a human.

As a treat for you, the movie's ending song; One more time, One more chance (is an actual music video and doesn't contain clips from the movie)

This Place

What the hell have they done around here? The very appearance of this site disgusts me ever since they decided to screw up the template last September. As apparent in my old (and I mean old) blogs, once upon a time I loved this site. To me, it was the best website on the net. Now, just look at this place. It reminds me of every other entertainment website out there (something I generally loathe regardless). I thought that first overhaul was bad, but this whole supposed "transition to a Hubu-like site" is going to be the end of the little community that is still left from yesteryear. Not surprisingly, this will likely be my last blog post ever. In fact, the only reason I still come here is because I have an obligation to do so with my two guides; although I may decide to retire from both of them and officially shut the door on this part of my life. I guess it depends on how badly CBS Interactive (or whatever their name is) screws up the site in the months to come. You know what they say, 'don't fix what ain't broke'.

Goodbye.
