Sheesh Y’all, It’s More Than Just Anime
One thing I like about albums that consist of the artiste singing their versions of songs done by other artistes is the exposure to songs from the past which you might not have heard of.
An example was Shimokawa Mikuni’s Reprise album released last December, with half of it featuring many classic anime theme songs. Although most of them were brought over from her 2003 Review album, there are a couple of new cover songs.
Ever wondered where the Imouto Complex theme in popular modern series such as Da Capo originated from? I have always been puzzled by this question, although the theme does not appeal to me at all, in any sense.
When I chanced upon this manga released by Mitsuru Adachi (also the author of the well-known baseball series, H2) in 1980, I realised that it might be the ancestor of the ever-popular theme among hordes of otakus. After all, I don’t particularly know of any series with a similar theme in the 1980s.
The name of the manga? Miyuki.
As I am feeling rather sluggish, I suggest you read the Wikipedia link above for more details, as my introduction would be merely a few lines.Basically, the story is about this guy, Wakamatsu Masato, who has a girlfriend named Miyuki and lives with his younger sister who also goes by the same name. Hence, there are 2 Miyukis. Sounds rather uninteresting right? Wait up, there’s a twist.
Masato and his sister are not blood-related, and hence theoretically speaking, it’s perfectly normal if they are a couple.
It’s been a long time since the previous season of You’re Under Arrest. Not that long for me though, as it was only during the earlier half of this year when I watched it, which might be a good thing. For me,the transition between the 2nd to 3rd new season was only a few months, instead of years.
This post is basically for me to state what I hope the new season would have/be like. Continue reading ‘You’re Under Arrest : FULL THROTTLE’
