Time is an everlasting chain of events that one can neither control, nor foresee and with time comes change, whether or not it's beneficial in any shape, form, or any bare necessity is always unknown until it occurs at that very moment. Times change, there's the good and the bad, the good is usually your ticket to a simpler time. My point being with so many things off-sync now, one almost has no other choice but to reminisce to a day and age where things could never have been off-key and if they were, the problem was almost instantly resolved.
Recently, just this past Saturday to be exact, I noticed Dragonball Z was on Toonami. It was Movie 12, which FUNimation likes to call Fusion Reborn, to those of us familiar with the original Japanese title we know of it as The Rebirth of Fusion, the names are practically one in the same, but changing the title somehow diverts the natural feeling of the movie. In any case I sat down and watched it and at that particular moment I realized just how much I missed being younger. Sitting there in front of the TV watching Gokou and Vegita square off against Janenba was refreshing to me, it cheered me up in ways nothing else could have. I realized just how much I missed being a kid, and how much more I missed watching anime. I missed watching all of my favourite anime toons, this spawned memories of MS Gundam, Outlaw Star and Tenchi Muyo. For some reason I thought I was beyond all of these things, but fortunately I'm not.
It's things like these in particular that makes you feel young again, no matter how old you are, for me sitting there and actually remembering most of the Japanese dub was fulfilling to me, remembering power levels and such, it's no Corvette Z06, let me tell you, but it's a refinement of one's character. After watching Movie 12 I went back to some of the old DBZ websites and started downloading video clips and I even managed to find some of my old ones from the late nineties. Be that as it may, I'm a kid, again and to be honest it feels damn good.
Imagine That.
