First Blog and Metal Fight Beyblade Rewatch Commentary [EP1 Only]
The sole reason i made a blog (again), is because my cat just passed away. (His name is Tahu, a male orange-white stray cat.) And i need something to cope. Usually i try to ease my mind by eating favorite meal, or watching YouTube. But this time it isn't that easy for me. I keep constantly crying at least for a half day but i tried to force myself play Genshin and now laying down with my notebook. Doesn't change the fact that i'm still grieving.
When i refresh my YouTube home, i tried to type "Metal Fight Beyblade sub Indo" by keep having a false hope because the last time, most of Metabey videos on YouTube were taken down. (Yes, other than on TV, i watched subs from YouTube in Junior High). And surprise, i found one channel who upload the episodes (of course, pirated) and the quality was good enough for today's animation render. I think it's 720p. The soundtrack (both from OP and ED) just brings me back.
Started from the first episode, it gave me a hint that Ginga travels across Japan to meet opponent that will suit him, but he keep it low profile. Instead, he met Kenta and they became friends. Even helped Kenta that got kidnapped with Benkei and lure them to Face Hunters, the gang owned by my husban——*clears throat* i mean— Tategami Kyoya. For some reason Ginga's emotions and physical appearance already shown a lot (in a good way) even from first episode. Love when his hips moving and every frame that shown his anger/each time he got pissed off, even his smirk... This is why even though Ginga wasn't my favorite character, i understand why a lot of people love him and being a very iconic character from Beyblade franchise. And also being the anime that dragging me to Beyblade hell before i watch other generations~ Ginga's phrase also leave a good impression of me. He said; "bey is in your heart", and i took this to stay put on what i love and what i craft into my heart as well. Either those were my drawings, people i used to love hanging around, my cats, everything that apparently coming into my life, including the ones who left.
Kenta is also a sweet and hardworking character, he is quiet disappointed for only grabbing 8th place in the small tournament, but it doesn't stop him. The key is a lot of training and i think for some context in real life, i think he is right.
I'm a very forgetful person, so i wanted to start writing important moments, or when i stumbled upon anything that i'm currently catching up. I used to do that by tweeting or having a diary, but both of these things just made people don't respect my privacy. So i straight going back to what i used to do, blogging. Comparing to ten or eleven years ago, less people use blog, so i think this could be also my safe space, and for archival purpose. I hope my insecurities don't eat me up again because i have a sort of breakdown that made me deleted my drawings or blogs for so many times.
Hope this hurts.
