Chao Flight Path v2.0

It’s a well known fact that I’m a fan of Leiji Matsumoto’s anime/manga and as such I have been revisiting some of his eariler work. I’ve been watching Space Captain Harlock the last couple of days-the original 42 episode series from the late 70’s-and I’m quite enjoying it!

I first started watching his work, when a local TV station years ago played them on Friday nights. The first ever one I saw was the movie Adieu Galaxy Express 999. Admittedly it was actually a sequel, and I didn’t see the whole thing as my tape recording cut off just as I saw the main character face off against the villain in this movie, but I was still hooked! The character Maetel had a big impression on me. She was beautiful, and had gorgeous long blonde hair.

I actually idolized women with long hair, Crystal Gale included, and Maetel was no exception. She was smart, and travelled the stars. Quite romantic really. Regardless, I did end up seeing the first movie, then the second fully again eventually. And that movie was mostly the main reason I gained interest in the Internet. There was a background music piece that was amazing to me and I had to find it.

It actually took me years, but i finally found it in 2004. It took me almost 10 years. during that time I also found out that Leiji Matsumoto did the animation work for the Daft PUnk videos for their album Discovery. It ended up being a full length movie entitled Interstella 555.

Awesome stuff. Leiji is cited as one of the Daddy’s of animation, and has had cameo’s and often is reffrenced in othe Animes. One I can remember off the top of my head was the Anime version of Excell Saga. A quick parody of a girl with long blonde hair in a purple outfit with a train running behind her in a forest. But that was a guy in that clip. Lol. Even Dragon Ball Z was parodied in that series.

But anyway, I suggest you check out this man’s wonderful art. almost all of his series’ are connected somewhere, where stars from each series can be seen in his other Anime’s. Including Queen Emeraldas too.

Nothing overly exciting here. XP

Just a quick doodleish piccy. Needed to get it out of my system. XDDD;;

Started with an imagery of a top view of Shadow’s head, morphed to him laying on grass, now on fluffy bed-spread.

MARYLYN MONROE STYLE! *Shot*

So… yeah. GET READY THE BLEACH!!
