Kenshin 剣心

Visions of Dystopia

I have visions of dystopia.

While I was publishing the Kenshin post, I thought about the New Media Art tutorial that I attended today. If the world of the future proves to be similar to the concepts the artist Stellarc proposed in his writings and artworks, I think I’ll be happy not to live in that future.

This essay of fiction exemplifies the reasons for the position I adopt, in a way I don’t think I can better. And I’m pretty sure you might have read this before if you had access to the Internet before the start of this millennium.

Seisouhen

Posted 2002-03-21 (木) 午後9:35 by terra

I just watched the second part of the Kenshin Seisouhen OVA today. It took me days to get a complete copy. the default server for WinMX was kind of frustrating, so many connection and download problems… until I discovered this website Anime Fantasia. Through their OpenNap server, I had no problems locating and downloading the file quickly. It occurs to me that the people using the server are all anime fans who are willing to file share and will not disconnect you just because you have nothing that they want to trade from you.

Kenshin and Kaoru

Anyways, about the OVA? All I can say is…. WHHHHYYYYY? I watched the first half of Seisouhen (that I got from Ketsugi and could already guess what was going to happen. But still…WHY IT HAVE TO BE THAT WAY?!

That’s the irrational bit of me acting up I guess.
