watching it again....

[Blight]

has anyone else watched an anime or something else that makes u want to watching it again, right after u finished watching it?

Berserk. Pretty much HAD to. You know, cause the way it ends. But for me it was more than that. Up until I watched Berserk, most of the stuff I watched was over stylized shonnen fair. Berserk was different. It was, dark, gritty, and felt more real than any anime I had watched before. It changed my tastes. there are anime that really affect how you feel about stuff, whether it is as insignificant as "this is now the style that I like" to being a profound inspiration to write a story that is driven by characters that mean something to you, because they have presence that demands it. Berserk did that for me, and killed a lot of other stories for me that just lacked that significance or humanity. Lots of RPG's instantly fell from my taste because their characters were so cookie cutter in attitude and design. Berserk MADE me watch it again to see what I needed to do to make my characters as compelling. It gave me drive and a goal to shoot for and has made me challenge myself creatively to write stories that use saving the world as a backdrop to developing my dynamic characters.

I ranted, but yeah, I immediately watched it again. And once more. And several more times since then. It is bloody, and full of epic battle scenes, but Guts, a man searching for what he wants out of life, is my favorite serious character ever and drives the show. Heh, you know, I've talked myself into wanting to watch it again.
