Yojimbo and Voices of a Distant Star

Well, VOADS is, of course, awesome. Sad, but awesome.
And Yojimbo, well, I've never heard of it.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I...Love...Yojimbo. And no I don't mean myself.
That is my favorite Kurosawa and my namesake of course. I'll have to check out that anime for sure:thumb:

Never seen it but I have seen Voices (own it). I really like it. It's very sad but I still like it. Im planning on making a music vid of it.

I've never even hear of it... I didn't know Yojimbo named himself after a real anime character, I just assumed he made the name up...

A yojimbo is a bodygaurd. It's a real word...a Japanese word, that is. I have yet to see GOTF or VOADS.

What's yojimbo about, and what's it like content wise?

"Yojimbo" is about a ronin (Toshiro Mifune, George Lucas' original choice for Obi-Wan Kenobi) who arrives in a small town run by two factions. He goes about playing the two sides up against each other until they eventually get what was coming to them. I'd recommend it.
