An adaptation of Night on the Galactic Railroad by Kenji Miyazawa.
Quite a good one, too. Not all who ride this train have a ticket to return.

My Special One
★★ Watched

Whoever the dance choreographer of this movie was... they gave you the most generic slop idol-pop song in history, the most generic daytime-tv drama direction; and yet, you decided that this out of all things would be your great moment in the sun, your magnum opus...

Gay vampires (redundant, i know) with guns engaging in dramatic mexican standoffs while the first four notes of the Gladiator soundtrack keep repeating in the background. Sounds pretty rad to me, and it is pretty rad indeed.

I mean it's super tacky, but somehow still cool. "I want to wear skintight shirts with leopard prints like these guys" and "You sure are indiscriminately massacring a lot of people" co-existing in perfect harmony.

To quote Haruki Murakami, or rather Midori from Norwegian Wood:

私が求めているのは単なるわがままなの。完璧なわがまま。たとえば今私があなたに向って苺のショート・ケーキが食べたいって言うわね、するとあなたは何もかも放りだして走ってそれを買いに行くのよ。そしてはあはあ言いながら帰ってきて「はいミドリ、苺のショート・ケーキだよ」ってさしだすでしょ、すると私は「ふん、こんなのもう食べたくなくなっちゃったわよ」って言ってそれを窓からぽいと放り投げるの。私が求めているのはそういうものなの。

What i desire is simply selfishness. Perfect selfishness. Say i looked at you right now and said i wanted to eat a strawberry shortcake. You would leave everything behind and run to buy me one. And you would come back panting, haa haa, and hand it to me: "Okay Midori, here's your strawberry shortcake". And i would say "Huh, i don't wanna eat that kinda thing anymore" and hurl it out of the window. That's the kind of thing i desire.
