NP: Riding the Myth

Shall we begin?

Oh first of all, GUE MAU PAKE BAHASA ENDONESAAAHHH ANJEEERRR UDAH BERAPA WINDU GATAU DAH GUE SOK-SOKAN PAKE INGLISH MULU tapi ya jan salahin gua juga si, kan reader gue banyak yang internasional kan ya, makanya gue Inggrisan mulu mayan jir visitor kedua terbanyak dari US bukan Malay yaudahlah English it has been. Tapi untuk kali ini, karena ini cuma anak anak 90an Indonesia aja yang bisa relate, makanya ya mending pake bahasa Ibu Pertiwi aja gasih!?!?

OMG so excited wuwuwuwu.

Oke jadi bagi yang taun 2014 belum baca blog gue *azegg*, Neverland Playlist itu isinya lagu-lagu opening sama closing dari kartun-kartun -kebanyakan sih- Jepang -tapi bisa aja sih nanti tiba-tiba ada kartun apa gitu yang bukan Jepang- yang ngena banget di hati ini. Lantas apa kartun yang akan gue angkat sekarang, setelah hampir 3 tahun madol? Ini dia.

Well, sebenernya banyak sih kartun lain yang lebih membawa dampak dalam hidup dan lebih gue suka dari pada yang ini, tapi berubung kartun ini yang bikin gue jadi inget sama yang namanya Neverland Playlist, kayaknya gak sopan kalo bukan dia yang gue mainin duluan. Dan ternyata kartun ini gak seminor itu juga dalam hidup gue, karena pas gue play lagunya, merinding coy. Plus gue masih inget beberapa nada sama liriknya.

Dan gue inget banget dulu punya tiga mainannya. Pajangan X, robot kuda putih kece tunggangan si main character, sama Je T'aime dan Raidou, si phoenix merah dan naga biru yang alamak sumpah ya gue suka banget bentukannya huhu. Trus di ceritanya itu mereka berlima, tambah satu kuda item dan satu kura-kura ijo, adalah spirit animal yang mewakili arah-arah mata angin gituuuu ya gimana gue gak jatuh cinta sih gue paling doyan cerita-cerita yang agak adaptasi mitos-mitos kayak begini.

Tapi jujur buat gue ini kartun lumayan gore. Ya emang bukan manusianya sih yang dicabik-cabik, melainkan robot-robotnya. Tapi kan tetep aja, dari awal kan itu robot-robot emang hidup dan berteman sama manusia-manusianya ya, jadi gue yang kala itu masih polos dan belum ngerti apa-apa kan langsung nganggep mereka semua makhluk hidup ciptaan Allah SWT yang gak seharusnya gue lihat dalam bentuk kepala pecah, dada bolong, dan sejenisnya :(

But anyhow, gue suka banget ini kartun. Sampe muncul opening versi berikutnya pun, gue masih nonton dan 10 tahun kemudian gue masih apal nadanya. Nih bonus:

B't X Neo

Paraaaaaaaaahhh ya Tuhan Ilahi gimana nih gue jadi mellow sendu durjana. Di satu sisi gue nikmatin banget nostalgia-nostalgia ee' kayak gini, hunting lagu-lagu jadul buat diposting di playlist beraque ini, tapi di sisi lain rasanya bikin hidup jadi berat sebelah gitu gimana dong :(

I'm desperately in need to go back to the past.

And once again enjoy all those things happened.

But what can I do,

It's now just a myth

The Playlist Continues

So lately,

I've been pretty much in the mood of a nostalgia, I don't know why -well you know why: it's what you always do. Visiting Disneyland, binge-watching Naruto, watching Power Rangers, TWICE -one was at the cinema, you know, the recent remake film, and the other one was the classic MMPR The Movie with my same-interest coworkers!- the whole universe seemed to conspire on this.

And speaking of coworkers, actually, they bear this big role of making me trapped in this back-to-childhood dimension.

One girl watched all the shows and films I watched, including Disney classics—and when the songs play, especially Mulan's "I'll Make A Man Out of You", we'll be a couple of fools. One boy is a big fan of Spongebob Squarepants. And he could make a quiet fair similar imitation of the voiceovers which sometimes dragged me into doing the same.

One other girl is a Power Ranger -I'm not saying 'fan', because for me, a fan of Power Rangers should be called a Power Ranger itself- and she was the one who organized this screening of the classic movie at the office. And there's this other guy, who is basically me, because apparently, we watched so many similar TV cartoons back in 90s. We work overtime a lot—most of the days we even stayed until there were only the two of us. And then began all the chit-chats and story-sharings about cartoon life back then.

One day he was talking about this robot anime I had no idea about, and it reminded me of one cartoon I used to watch, which I was pretty sure he also watched back then. So I asked him and what are the odds, it was one of his fave. We then browsed YouTube for the videos, Googled the images and the toys we had, and suddenly, all those reminded me of something.

My Neverland Playlist.

You remember some time ago, I have this plan to make my blog a bit more youthful, by posting the opening or ending credits of all cartoons I loved when I was a kid?

Yea it wasn't really that some time ago.

The last post of that kind was, August, 2014.

Ha ha. Fuck me, right?

But that night anime-talking with my coworker was a wake-up call. I told him that I had this nostalgic session in my blog, and he said that he'd really love to see it. And the next thing I know, bam, I had this sudden urge to resume what I had started.

So yea here it is,

We begin once again,

The tunes of the past

Tale as Old as Time

Late.

Well ripple effects do work. I was late to start writing about the first topic, so I'm gon' be even later to talk about this. And the next one after this, and the next one after that. But ya I don't care, because still, it's about childhood. And there's no such thing as too late when it comes to childhood.

This time it's the other part of my childhood: Disney.

And what did Disney do lately that I'm bringing this up? You know

Poster's from here.

I've always watched the live action version that Disney had released so far. No, not that I'm into them and been expecting for them eww no—I'm a die hard fan of Disney classic, hand-written version -oh yeah, Moana, Big Hero Six, and all those 3D animated thingy were good, but still I prefer something like The Princess and the Frog- and all these live action shits, I only watch them to see if they're good enough for me to adore. And to see how far they ruined their own creation.

So there are already four? Five Disney live action movies so far? Yea around that number and to begin with, I hated Alice in Wonderland because it was all too trippy and color-shocking. I hated Maleficent because the Aurora isn't cute as I expected, and I hated The Jungle Book because it was too dark and having too much animation -plus I hate kids who act like adults. I liked Cinderella because it was pretty nice. They made a little twist to the storyline, but it was fine. And for Beauty and the Beast, well,

It's the best so far.

I adore how they stick to the original plot. It's like watching the classic version, only now it's alive—and that's how a live action works, right?! You shouldn't have made changes here and there to make it different from the original one, no, you should stay to what's been made in the past, because that's how you stole the fans' heart!

Beauty and the Beast did just what I expected. The storyline, the characters and their names, the SONGS, ahh the songs, they really know how to please old fans—sing the same damn songs from the original one! Still I'm not a big fan of its much-too-overwhelming-3D-DI-things, plus the furniture are pretty creepy and not lovely like the original ones but, it's all still tolerable, really.

Portrait's from here.

Well they said that there are 19 more on the line. 19 what? 19 live action films, of course! And Mulan is one of them! Crazy, huh? Well not really, if what they are doing is similar to what they did for Beauty and the Beast.

Because Lord, I don't want to see Snow White fighting,

I don't want to see Mufasa die of drowning in a river,

I don't want to see Tinkerbell saying even a word,

All I want to see is a childhood Disney tale,

That is true as it can be

Butterfly

Last night I heard something terrible.

A pretty bad news for us 90s survivors.

The singer of "Butterfly", the opening theme of Digimon anime, that nostalgic song that still gives me goosebumps today, the spirited upbeat song of my childhood—had passed away due to his cancer.

Kouji Wada

(1974 - 2016)

Come to think of it, I didn't really listen to the original song as a child. We Indonesian kids were exposed more to the translated version of the theme, which was great, as it showed how we appreciated his song that we didn't change the other part of it -unlike Americans who created a whole new stupid opening theme and I bet even the fans of Digimon in America have no idea of who Kouji Wada was. As I grew up I knew I had an extended love for Digimon. So I began to get myself exposed to the original version of the song, and I fell in love with it.

I knew him only from Digimon Adventure -the very first serial- and the latest Digimon Tri. What I didn't know is that he was apparently also the man behind each and every single latter series of Digimon franchise. I took him for granted.

And now that he's gone, I felt pretty crushed.

Well then what can I say now,

But to wish him a very peaceful rest.

Pic belongs to him. Or her, I'm not sure.

So.

Quoting my tweet,

I'd like to say it again.

Rest in peace Mr Kouji Wada,

You'll always be the prettiest butterfly

In my childhood garden

Tale From the Past

If there's one thing Disney is loving to do lately,

It's creating the human version of their classics.

I was pretty cautious, because, hmm yea I have this OCD thingy and Disney is like my precious treasure from childhood. So if there's even one single detail missing from the classic animated movie I'll be like, screw you Disney. That's why up till now, I haven't watched Maleficent. But for their next human version project, my friend dragged my ass to the cinema already.

Got the poster from here

Frankly, I've prepared myself mentally before I stepped into the theatre. Movie started, welcomed by Frozen Fever -which was super entertaining, to be honest- and the tale began. The prologue was super long, compared to the animated version, telling too much about how Cinderella's parents died. And oh, her default name was Ella instead of Cinderella which was given by the stepsisters. Clever tho, it was still tolerable for me.

Overall movie was okay. But I really hate how they violate some details. Like outfit colors. Cinderella's light blue was constant. Good. But Lady Tremaine should've been dark purple, Drizella should've been green and Anastasia should've been lavender! The prince and the King should've worn broken white with maroon accent, not such complicated royal costume! Phew, I've warned you, I have a weird OCD obsession.

Speaking about the King, what the hell Disney, why should he die!? Because you need some drama in it!? Didn't work for me! Instead of killing the King, you can consider adding Ella's misery, making Lucifer a bit more of an ass, or, this is what's more important, making a bigger scene of the evil ladies destroying Cinderella's dress. It was so ugh, anti-climax, she should've suffered more than that.

That's not all. My biggest pet peeve was, the Fairy Godmother. I mean, why, why would you change the dreamy fairy's personality to be Helena Bonham's? It wasn't nice okay, and her appearance was not even funny at all. You should've stick with the wise and a little bit clumsy old lady, and casted someone with charm like, Meryl Streep maybe? It's, ugh, all the scene with the Fairy Godmother in it, sucks!

Anyway, enough with the critics. I brought home positive thoughts too like, the ending. I didn't expect any changes for how Cinderella is found tho, but the twist they made was okay. Although honestly, that's not what I cherished the most about this movie.

It's how I kept recalling and mentally playing the original piece inside my mind, during the whole movie. How I had always been charmed, ten, fifteen years ago, when I saw the animated movie, with its delicate craft and beautiful story. Oh, I've always enjoyed Disney Princesses tales, I don't care if it's not meant for boys. Disney Classics had always been a thing for me.

But the best part is, when I looked around the theatre, and see sparks on today's children's eyes.

I felt like, damn proud. It's my cartoon they're now watching. Poor them, they didn't get the chance to enjoy the original movie. Of course they can always ask their dads to download them the classic Cinderella movie, but will they watch it from CD player? With wrecked subtitle and bad recordings? No.

And the portrait from here

I have the best childhood ever.

Better than my parents' and

Definitely will be better than my kids'.

90s are the luckiest

NP: Pupils' Terror

Hi, teman teman 90s survivor.

Ya, I know I know, seperti biasa, apa yang gue gencar lakukan di awal pasti ada vacuum nya sebelum akhirnya ada sesuatu yang bikin gue inget trus gue mau mulai posting lagi. Terakhir pasang playlist masa kecil itu bulan Januari awal, dan sekarang, TUJUH BULAN KEMUDIAN -gokil gaktuh molornya? :D- gue pun baru muncul lagi. Yaudasih, namanya juga dewasa muda, kan banyak kegiatannya *bela diri*

Sebagai persembahan setelah lebih dari setengah tahun tidak menepati janji, kali ini gue mau pasang lagu nostalgia yang sangat menggebrak. Kalo sampe ada yang gatau, well, kehidupan SD lo pasti kurang menegangkan. Imajinasi lo pasti tumpul. Masa kecil lo pasti kurang bahagia sob. Monggo dicek

Ghost at School

Category:

Elder Elementary

Parah sih ini kartun. Seinget gue, gak ada episode yang gak gue suka. Gue nonton dari awal banget sampe akhir banget, dan ngerasa super gak puas pas kartunnya tamat, karena emang cuma ada 20 episode!!! Ditambah dengan setting nya yang kisaran di sekolah, PLUS pemeran utamanya yang kelas 5 SD -satu angkatan sama gue!- bikin segala galanya makin hidup dan kerasa. Adeknya si pemeran utama bahkan kelas 1 SD, dan adek gue waktu itu pun kelas 1 SD. Kayaknya ini kartun diciptain khusus buat gue deh.

Lo tau kan apa inti dari kartun ini? Ya, mengalahkan setan yang berkeliaran dengan cara cara tertentu yang dijabarin secara jelas dan lengkap dalam buku peninggalan almh. ibunya Satsuki Miyanoshita. Dan menapak tilas dari ke-freak-an gue masa lalu yang ngumpulin segala pernak pernik Trunks dari Dragon Ball, juga bikin kartu kartu yang ditangkep di Cardcaptor Sakura, lo bisa tau dong apa dampak yang terjadi dalam hidup gue selama gue nonton serial setan ini? Ya, gue bikin buku panduan penangkapan setan itu dan gue pamer kemana mana.

Tiap episode gue pantengin cermat cermat kalimat yang muncul pas bukunya lagi dibacain, gue catet betul betul cara nangkep masing masing setan, apa aja yang harus disiapin dan mantra apa yang harus diucapin. Dan gue praktekin di sekolah. Plus kalimat kalimat para setannya. Kayak pas temen gue ke kamar mandi, gue yang brengsek ini ngikutin dari belakang dan pas dia masuk bilik, gue dari luar berkata "pilih tisu merah atau tisu biru?" hehehehehehehee :)

Huff...

Udah selesai sih sebenernya. Tapi berubung gue baru muncul lagi setelah sekian lama, dan gak ada jaminan bahwa gue akan muncul lagi dengan playlist nostalgia berikutnya minggu depan, yaudah deh ini gue kasih bonus ending Ghost at School yang gak kalah kece / catchy dari openingnya.

Ngaco kan? :( Kayaknya bukan filmnya aja deh yang setan, pencipta ini kartun sama staff staff nya gue rasa setan semua. Pun TV7 yang kala itu baru banget masuk ke pertelevisian Indonesia tapi udah bisa bikin gue dan generasi gue jatuh cinta parah sama kartun kartun yang mereka tayangin. Jamnya ituloh! Maghrib sampe malem gitu, bikin gue jadi males solat dan males belajar -oke itumah emang guenya dodol.

Ahh, good ol' days.

So cheerful even in a scary way.

Makes me wanna dance and scream,

"Sexy, Sexy!"

NP: The Sweet Deck

Hello again, children of 90s!

Gue semacem baru aja update segala opening intro dari berbagai kartun dan film jaman kecil dulu dan sekarang malah bingung mau play yang mana. Tapi liat dari track list yang udah ada, isinya kan rata rata film film anak cowok ya. Jadi hari ini unyu dikit deh bareng

Cardcaptor Sakura

Category:

Younger Elementary

First of all, supaya gak dijudge yang aneh aneh, gue suka film ini karena keseruan Sakura nyari kartu kartu yang bertebaran di muka bumi. Bukan karena kisah crush Sakura sama sahabat kakaknya atau karena kostum kostum Sakura kalo mau nangkep kartu loh ya -tapi kenapa inget??? Pokoknya keren aja gitu makhluk makhluk yang gak sengaja lepas itu punya kekuatan masing masing, trus di tiap episode satu per satu ditangkep dimasukin ke dalem kartu, trus kekuatan dari makhluk yang udah ditangkep di dalem kartu bisa dipake lagi sewaktu waktu kalo dibutuhin Sakura buat nangkep makhluk yang lain.

Keseruan bertambah pas Li Shaoran muncul. Dua duanya jadi kayak lomba gitu kan buat ngumpulin kartu, dan akhirnya di tiap episode malah jadi kerja sama walopun kartunya cuma bakal bisa jadi punya salah satu dari mereka. Tapi keseruan yang paling pol sih pas Meilin muncul karena gue suka sama dia :"> -entah kenapa kemunculan Chinese girls di dalem anime itu menarik buat gue.

Oke di tiap postingan Neverland Playlist kayaknya gue selalu ngumbar keanehan masa kecil gue gasih? Hm ya as you might guessed, dulu tiap abis selesai nonton satu episode kartun ini, gue selalu gambar kartunya dan gue koleksi untuk kenikmatan pribadi :)

Because if I couldn't be as cool as Gambit,

Nor as slick, mysterious yet entertaining as Joker,

I could always be a cardcaptor

NP: Craving for Dragon

I missed again, eh?

Yea I was so occupied that I forgot about my own playlist. But since I promised myself it'd be every Friday, I changed the date although I made the post on Monday ;)

Hokeh! Kali ini gue pengen denger sesuatu yang legend.

Bahkan, ini kartun masih ada sampe sekarang. Tebak apa?

Dragon Ball

Category:

Early Childhood

Siapa yang dulu gak nonton Dragon Ball hah? Siapa!? Kalo gak baca komiknya sih ya gue juga nggak, abis seruan nontonnya ha ha haa... Anyway, pertama kali kenal Dragon Ball itu dari sepupu gue pas mereka main nintendo di tv klasik gue -tau gak tv super lebar yang ada pintu gesernya? Dan lo tau siapa karakter Dragon Ball pertama yang terekspos oleh mata balita gue? Cell. セル. Bukan Cell yang agak cakepan yang mulutnya kayak manusia yang muncul di versi versi belakangan loh ya, tapi Cell yang bentuknya masih imperfect yang matanya masih ungu dan mulutnya bener bener kayak serangga. Horor gasih?? Jujur gue (dulu) takut banget sama dia :(

Speaking of characters, gue punya jagoan pribadi dong pastinya. Trunks. Toranku. トランクス. Kalo main game nya gue selalu nyari dia. Kalo beli file nya -kalian dulu pada koleksi file gitu gasih?? Kertas A4 yang ada gambarnya gitu, biasanya sih Disney. Seceng dapet empat biji :')- gue paling suka kalo ada dianya. Beli laser disc, puzzle, beli meja lipet buat ngaji, poster, action figure, huhu I'll do anything to get all those thing back in my hands...

Masalah kartun secara keseluruhan, kalo boleh jujur, hmm, gue gak ngerti sama jalan cerita Dragon Ball. Ya abis gimana pas gue mulai sadar akan kehidupan ini dan mulai nonton, ini kartun udah setengah jalan. Gue pun waktu itu masih super cilik jadi yang gue nikmatin cuma berantem berantemannya doang. Dan entah kenapa gue sampe sekarang gapernah ada daya dan upaya buat caritau plot Dragon Ball. Hm gatau kenapa ya, mungkin gue bakal tetep biarin ini jadi misteri masa kecil gue yang gak akan pernah gue caritau jawabannya :)

However, Dragon Ball tetep ngena banget di hati.
Sampe sekarang pun gue masih punya hasrat membuncah
Buat nyari action figure semua karakternya yang kece kece itu.
Tapi susah banget, anak anak jaman sekarang doyannya gadget...

Sometimes all of those things upset me so bad,
Makes me want to kamehameha them

NP: The Lonely Hornet

Well sorry I skipped last week's Neverland Playlist.
I told you, yes? That I was facing my thesis defense stuff.

So let's get down to business, shall we?

Jadi dari tiga video yang udah gue post sebelumnya, category yang udah muncul adalah early childhood sama younger elementary. Oke, 'younger'. Kalo ada 'younger' berarti ada apaaahh? Yes, elder elementary yang dalam kasus ini, kartun tersebut adalah

Honey Bee Hutch

Category:

Elder Elementary

Tiap hari, seputaran Maghrib, deket deket lah jamnya kayak Captain Tsubasa. Jujur gue pegel nonton film ini. Banyakan cerita sedihnya daripada bahagianya. Ketemu mama nya juga lama banget dan berkelit kelit, udah tinggal seujung kuku tatap muka eh ada aja halangannya. Udah gitu sepanjang perjalanan kan sering ketemu serangga lain kan ya, eh udah baik baik bareng bareng menjelajah merajut tali persahabatan, mati aja gitu temen temennya. Trus satu lagi, harusnya kartun ini dilabel sadis sih soalnya banyak banget temen temen Hachi yang mati secara tragis. Yaaa gak sampe darah muncrat juga sih, tapi kalo diliat anak kelas 5 SD ya tetep disturbing juga :(

Hits banget sih ini kartun. Bahkan pas gue play openingnya barusan, nyokap gue yang lagi sibuk terdistraksi oleh per-kue-an dunia ini langsung noleh dan ikutan nyanyi. Bahkan nyokap gue!? Ya gimana nggak ya, kartunnya diputer hampir tiap hari, dan tv dikuasai gue sama adek adek gue jadi nyokap terpaksa ikutan nonton huhu kasian dicekokin film lebah ga karuan macem gini...

Sakit jiwa deh kayaknya yang ciptain ini kartun.

Gue kalo jadi penulis cerita Hatchi juga gak bakal segitunya nyiksa itu lebah.

Because sometimes...

I imagined myself flying solo

NP: Japanese Cha Cha

Hellooo, it's been a week since what??
Of course, the Neverland Playlist!!

Hm tanpa disadari udah tiga kali ngupload video nostalgia -termasuk tudey- dan tiga tiganya pas hari Jumat. Yaudah deh diresmiin aja kali ya supaya gue juga gak bingung skejulnya, gue bakal ngepost opening opening ini tiap hari Jumat!

Dan buat minggu ini gue udah pilih satu lagu,
Yang lebih klasik daripada dua pendahulunya.

Kobo Chan

Category:

Early Childhood

Jujur kalo ditanya episode episode Kobo Chan, gue gabakalan inget karena ini termasuk jejeran kartun super jadul yang gak longlast macem Doraemon sama Crayon Shinchan. Tapi yang pasti, gue yakin banget kalo kartun yang satu ini sangat amat membawa dampak buat gue. Kenapa begitu yakin Vick? Simply karena pas gue dengerin ulang opening ini beberapa saat silam, hati gue bergetar. Dan bahkan gue masih apal!? Either memori tajam or, pathetic :')

Tapi yang bikin gue attached sama kartun -atau opening scene?- ini sih fix karena lagunya catchy banget kali ya? Yaiyalah siapa sih yang bakalan lupa sama lirik "Nipong! Nipong! Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha!" yang nempel banget itu!? Bokap gue dengerin itu lagu satu kali sambil tidur juga pas bangun langsung apal pasti.

Huhu Kobo Chan, maaf ya yang berkesan dari kartunmu cuma lagunya doang.
Tapi gue inget satu hal lagi! Dulu dubber Kobo kalo bilang 'melon' itu 'milon'.

Okay...

Sharp memory or, pathetic? :)

NP: The Green Captain

Hi 90s kids, I'm back!

Pasti pada mikir, "ah mana nih si viki ngomongnya doang mau sok sok bikin kesan youthful di blognya... abis ngepost soal Digimon trus ilang..." kaaan?? Nggak? Yah sedih :(

Oke gapapa tetap semangat lah ya.
Karena tudey, playlist gue bakal ditambah.
Dengan skuad impian bocah lelaki 10 tahun silam,

Captain Tsubasa

Category:

Younger Elementary

Sejatinya, gue bukan tipe anak cowok yang sporty dan suka main bola. Dulu aja pas SD posisi gue cuma jadi bek yang kalo kebobolan bakal disalah-salahin... Tapi gamungkin gasih ada anak 90an yang gak nonton Tsubasa?? Gue nggak semaniak itusih sama kartun ini tapi berubung diputer hampir tiap hari, di waktu yang pas sepulang les dan sebelum waktu belajar, ya gue nonton deh. Eh tapi jangan berprasangka kalau gue gasuka Tsubasa loh ya. Jujur, gue nikmatin banget ini kartun.

Walopun waktu seolah olah lama banget di dunia mereka -satu pertandingan bisa dipotong jadi beratus ratus episode- dan kadang gue suka gedek banget sama komentatornya karena DIA SELALU NGEBEBERIN STRATEGI TIM, after all, Captain Tsubasa sangat amat menghibur dan berdampak cukup signifikan. Buktinya, setiap gue sok sok main bola, pose yang gak pernah absen adalah tangan terkepal, kaki kanan terangkat ke belakang, pause sekitar tiga detik sebelum akhirnya gue teriak "TENDANGAN JARAK JAUH!!!" dan gue tendang itu bola :)

Duh, Captain Tsubasa dari SD Nankatsu.

Musuh bebuyutan mereka adalah Perguruan Toho.

Gue gangerti apa maksud gue ngetik dua kalimat di atas.

Well thanks to y'all,

I explored one crucial thing.

I learned what offside was

NP: World of Digital Past

Halo.

Gatau kenapa akhir akhir ini gue ngerasa mellow banget. Bawaan pengen nostalgia ke jaman kartun masih berjaya -dan bermutu- trus merenung, trus diem, trus... Nangis :'/

Oke jadi di postingan gue beberapa hari lalu, gue bilang kalo gue mau nambahin kesan youthful di blog gue ini kan. Nah jadilah setelah pertimbangan matang dan mumpuni, kayaknya gue mau bikin sesi nostalgia deh buat kesenengan pribadi.

And I'm gonna name it "Neverland Playlist"

Sesuai namanya, isi dari segmen ini adalah playlist lagu lagu jaman dahulu. Bukan lagu musik gitusih, dulu jaman gue kecil gue belom doyan musik kali ya, MTV juga belom kenal.

Instead, playlist ini bakal berisi lagu opening kartun populer -bukan populer as in "pokoknya pulang teler" ya, temen temen Bali ku :)- jaman dulu yang kalo gue dengerin lagi sekarang... Berasa muda dan bergairah kembali :')

Nah buat batch pertama, gue mulai dari yang paling gue suka dulu kali ya.

Digimon

Category:

Younger Elementary

Oke gue freak banget sama anime yang satu ini. Booming pas gue kelas 3 atau 4an gitu gue lupa, pokoknya bukan gue doang tapi temen-temen sekelas gue juga pada gila. Ceritanya yaaa bocah banget gitu deh, anak-anak kejebak di dunia monster, ngelawan monster jahat, ngebebasin dunia nyata dari monster jahat yang lolos... Fana banget. Tapi suka banget soalnya monsternya bisa berubah dan levelnya banyak! Ya tau kan gue kayak semacam orgasme gitu kalo ngeliat film yang tokohnya banyak dan ada hirarkinya.

Nah di Digimon itu ada 8 anak terpilih beserta Digimon mereka masing-masing, berarti ada 16 tokoh utama kan? Ya jadilah ya gue dan 15 temen gue membentuk pasukan Digimon kita sendiri. Favorit gue adalah Koshiro -versi Inggrisnya namanya Izzi- dan Digimon gue itu Tentomon, tapi gue lupa siapa temen gue yang jadi Tentomon.

Hm Digimon.

Saking maniaknya dulu gue bikin komik sendiri ceritanya gue dan temen-temen imajiner gue terjebak di dunia Digital trus yaa sama aja sih kayak versi kartunnya, tapi tokohnya aja berubah. Dan ada guenya.

HAHA UDAH KALI YA??
Jadi keumbar kan masa kecil gue.

But that's just the essence of Neverland, isn't it?
So I'm afraid it'll last quiet long with more posts coming.
Enjoy the time machine, Vick
