Sorry to make another thread but I just had to make a comment about one of my favorite animes in the universe.
There's this anime (japanese cartoon) that tells a story about a guy that isn't much of a human, that goes by the name of Vash. He looks human and everything but he has special powers just hidden inside of him. His brother Knives is much like Vash but Knives is very different. Knives excepted alot of stuff about life. And made him cynical almost in his ways.
Earth has been abused and used to the fullest, so large groups of people left earth to search for a new place to live and grow. Human instinct I guess. Well one guy on the shuttle that is carrying one group of people has been seeing these two boys since their birth. And he didn't like them much since they grew up to look about 15 years old in just a year, so they got one guy hating them. This guy always abused both Vash and Knives, kicking them around, calling them monsters and freaks. This got to Knives more than Vash. Vash had his on support to keep his spirits up about human being.
Rem Saverem always talked to the boys about not killing other humans and treating all humans with love. She always talked about earth and how beautiful it was and everything. Knives studied how humans acted and over time he hated them because they were so much more primitive than how Knives and Vash were.
After a while Knives made his move. He got so sick and tired of humans that he planned to get rid of all their ships and kill all the humans. He was very keen on his powers and he could slightly control people's minds into doing things. He set up the ships to crash into a desert planet, thinking that they will all burn in the atmosphere. Rem Saverem sacraficed herself to change the ships back on course and some of the ships survived.
Fast forward 100 years. Civilizations are growing in this desert planet that they crashed on. They don't have much memory of earth or anything so they survive on the last few plants that kept them alive during the trip. Vash the Stampede still looks around 23 years old and still has his old attitude about things. He doesn't kill anybody because nobody has the right to take another person's life. He trained his gun skills to fight against Knives and his constant attacks on the people. He tries to help in every situation without having any casualties.
He was mistreated by a good, 99.9999999999% of the people that he met but he still kept Rem's words to his heart and kept his word, and to stop Knives and his constant attack on the people. He went through alot of stuff. Like seeing the only person that he loves in life die because of what his brother did. And being shot at and scared by everybody he meets. And having the whole world put a 60 billion dollar bounty on his head cause he is so powerful. Yet he still kept to himself and tried to be happy as much as possible and everything.
Long story short I suggest everybody try to look into this thing. It comes on cartoon network and it is very good.
However, one thing I wanna say though is that when I think about Vash and ALLLLL the crap that he was through, he still was fightin for everything and didn't believe in killing anybody and still tried to keep a cool head over things. He was so terribly hurt everytime he saw people die because of him going to those cities and having people try to kill them kill themselves in many cases. Yet he still tries to save the day and he ends up doin it.
These days I always like singing to myself the main theme song behind Trigun and it always gives me the boost as if like I can do anything. Really really REALLY cool show.
Whole lot of stuff in it would take me about 2 days to type it all.
