sherryillkYou might think I'm crazy to have been waiting for the Anime-Otakus fansubs of PoT all this time and not downloading Shinsen's fansubs of the last couple of episodes but I like sticking with one group and staying with this one group to the end, no matter how long. Especially since A-O has pretty great quality too.
But, I doubt episode 164 would have had the same impact had I watched it months earlier with Shinsen than waiting for it today. A-O released 164 today and I nearly died at the very end where Tezuka announces that he's coming back. The sounds of You Got Game started, just like it did in the very first episodes when it was the first end theme. And it started to build up and up and then I heard Kimeru's voice and it was like !!!
And I couldn't help but sing along with the song that I had practically memorized all the lyrics to, the song that got me into Kimeru, the song that will always be PoT to me. And then they started showing the pictures of the regulars doing their special moves and it was like the first ending all over again! I'm quite certain that those were the same images from the first ending.
Oh my god, how cyclical everything is! Back to the beginning, back to your roots...The song just evokes such wonderful images and feelings and I was in heaven. God, even when the first ending wasn't being played any longer and they had gone to the second ending, it wasn't like I had stopped listening to Kimeru's You Got Game. I've heard it millions of times since then -- it's my favorite Kimeru song after all, so of course I've been listening to it all this time. But certainly it never made me feel the way it did just a few minutes ago, watching it in episdoe 164 to usher Tezuka's return to Seigaku. It really felt like I hadn't heard it in ages.
And of course, now I have to go and listen to You Got Game over and over and over again. ^^
God, I love this song. Finally, now that I'm listening to it again, it doesn't scream "Tenimyu" as it once did but rather back to the beginning, back to the first episode I had watched, back to reading and listening to this song at the end of each PoT episode. Ohisashiburi!
