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.
Trouble was, the CD was so scratched it’d cut off mid-scene, right when they were heading into this big storm. I never saw the ending! I was so bummed but obsessed—I’d dream about that castle every night, picturing what happened next.
As a kid, I didn’t know fancy stuff, but I knew I had to see the end, no matter what. I asked everyone—friends, family—but no one knew what I was talking about. This was before YouTube or streaming, so it was my little secret, and I’d replay the same part over and over, hoping it’d magically work.
Fast forward to 2017. I was chatting online with this friend who was super into anime—I didn’t know squat about them back then. I told him about my “flying castle mystery,” and he goes, “Oh, that’s Laputa: Castle in the Sky!” He sent me the poster, and my heart skipped. I downloaded it that night and binge-watched the whole thing.
I finally lived my childhood dream. That scratched disc wasn’t just junk; it sparked my love for anime. The music, the story—it’s all part of me. If you haven’t seen Laputa, give it a try; I’m sure there’s a place for your heart in that beautiful castle.
