h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

The day before yesterday YS called me to tell me that she saw the last episode of Cowboy Bebop and that she needed to talk to me because I would understand her grief. I did. I didn't exactly mourn for Spike Spiegel, but I am reeling somewhat. I did not see that coming. Silly, that I didn't I guess, but those are the facts. As pathetic as it is, I'm having trouble coming to grips with his death.

Then that night I had to call YS to cry at her once I finished Les Miserables. I'd read the abridged before, I knew how it was going to end, but I had forgotten how emotionally wrought the last few chapters are. So I cried for a minute or so on the phone and felt better. I felt really silly, but as YS said she'd rather be sensitive enough to cry at the heart-breaking when it isn't real than be hard inside. I am thankful for that, too. I wish I was soft enough, though, that I'd cry when I watch the news.

I sobbed quite badly at the end of Bebop. It was good. And twice Trigun moved me to tears... but I will say no more in that, either.

Oh, watch spirited away if you get the chance. It is the best anime I've ever seen. And I'm me.

In the few episodes of Trigun I saw I think I almost cried once. But I only saw around five or six episodes. Then I stopped watching anime. {shrug} Doesn't remove emotional attachments to characters though.
