anime-manga 🍡

I want to tell the story of how I found my childhood dream and my love for anime, tied to Laputa, which is my Farcaster username.  

I've been wanting to share this story for a long time, and now’s the perfect time to do it in a thread.

My username refers to an anime by Miyazaki and not the slang

It all started when I was just a kid, maybe 10, playing around in our alley. one day, I found this scratched-up CD lying there, and back then, finding CDs in the street wasn’t normal—half the time they were, uh, awkward stuff like porns, so I was nervous but super curious.

I begged my parents to pop it into our old DVD player, and boom—there was this girl, Sheeta, floating down from a flying ship with a glowing crystal.
 That was all it took for me to eagerly watch the cartoon. I had no clue what it was called, but I was hooked!

The animation felt like magic—those drawings, the airships, the pirates chasing them.
 A boy catches a girl in the sky; I’d never seen a cartoon like that before. The language was all Japanese with no subtitles, so I didn’t get a word, but the music?

That Joe Hisaishi theme I still listen to all the time hit me hard—it was soft yet huge, like it was pulling me into something epic.
