bloggy,&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have another blog now. It is in tumblr. But it doesn't mean that I am letting you go. No, I'm not. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I made some kind of arrangement. You see, I thought that you will still be in possession of the addiction ramblings in my heart and mind about my ever loving anime and j-series. Those will still be in your charge. On the other hand, my tumblr account will take care of my everyday scenarios, if there would be some kind of highlights and other normal ravings.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You will still be special and number 1. You will place an in-depth account of my life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;P.S. I would like to place you in the redirect page of my tumblr, if you don't mind. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From I-will-always-still-be-me,&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;^_^&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-7810180366714138950?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/7810180366714138950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=7810180366714138950' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/7810180366714138950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/7810180366714138950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2010/06/open-letter.html' title='An Open Letter'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-4525224367122705851</id><published>2010-01-01T23:45:00.017+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-29T16:05:21.919+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='yuko takeuchi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='bara no nai hanaya'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese drama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='romantic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='best'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese drama review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shingo katori'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='detective drama'/><title type='text'>Roses = Let's Forget Everything (BARA NO NAI HANAYA JAPANESE DRAMA REVIEW )</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4yPgV_JoI/AAAAAAAAAgo/RvsLPV4N8kI/s1600-h/800px-Bara-no-nai-Hanaya-banner.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 452px; height: 194px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4yPgV_JoI/AAAAAAAAAgo/RvsLPV4N8kI/s400/800px-Bara-no-nai-Hanaya-banner.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421826243362236034" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;Flower shop without a rose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;(find out why it is so)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Well, I got myself busy into Jdoramas, as usual, these days. Bad for me. I'm procrastinating things. I need to submit my audio-video production script about my thesis next week. But I haven't started editing any of my videos yet. **sigh** Maybe, I am not yet in the mood&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;.....  what a lame excuse. &lt;/span&gt;**sigh** I can't help it. JDORAMAS ARE REALLY ADDICTING!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, before it flies away from my mind, I would just like to share with you my new found gem! Even though, I have watched good stuff recently, I wasn't able to talk of them with you. But this one is different. IT HAS TO BE SPREAD!! Next to this one, maybe is Bloody Monday and JIN. But romantic blingy always tickles me. **sigh** I miss Buchou and Hotaru-sama....this one makes me remember them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's Bara no nai Hanaya. I have been listing it since last year, while it's still airing. But i don't know, maybe I am not in the mood for its type, or I had underestimated its potential. Because, who would've thought that much from a human drama genre who would normally talk about life? It would be recycled theme again, nothing new to keep you asking. But, it surprised me once again. The things which I expected the least are always there to prove me wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The plot is amazing. This kind of Jdorama is a rare one. Its cheesiness is just well blended. Normally, I would hate it but it is put in exact amount. The actors are well placed. Shingo Katori is so great at his role. My gosh!! Who would've thought Son Goku could be a family man? Yuko Takeuchi is new to me. This is the first time that I would be seeing her act in a drama. Although, I have already read her name in some drama searching and watched her in the Team Batista Movie trailer with Abe Hiroshi, I was still surprised how beautiful she really is. She is actually good but I sometimes think her giggles looked like rehearsed and fake, well, anyhow, I can still sense the honesty in her role. But the scene stealer will be, surprisingly, is the kid, Yuki Yagi, playing Shingo's daughter Shizuku. She acts so naturally and with full of honesty. She and Shingo really looks like father and daughter in real life, as if there's no pretension. There is such a chemistry between them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4tAY3AQsI/AAAAAAAAAfw/8eA1_cSYnIs/s1600-h/Bara+2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 371px; height: 222px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4tAY3AQsI/AAAAAAAAAfw/8eA1_cSYnIs/s320/Bara+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421820486097060546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;a father and daughter scene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4vuJrrzRI/AAAAAAAAAf4/VgOdmBcN8G8/s1600-h/bara+4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 143px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4vuJrrzRI/AAAAAAAAAf4/VgOdmBcN8G8/s320/bara+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421823471320288530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;                             &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4vuohZFAI/AAAAAAAAAgI/GQVmT2Jig3Q/s1600-h/bara+7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 143px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4vuohZFAI/AAAAAAAAAgI/GQVmT2Jig3Q/s320/bara+7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421823479598617602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;Shizuku-chan (Yuki Yagi~ so kawaii~)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4vuyfcfQI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/5uHLqGO21qY/s1600-h/bara+8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 143px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4vuyfcfQI/AAAAAAAAAgQ/5uHLqGO21qY/s320/bara+8.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421823482274807042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4xBtpEGrI/AAAAAAAAAgY/nYGXv_1ib8Q/s1600-h/bara+5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 143px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4xBtpEGrI/AAAAAAAAAgY/nYGXv_1ib8Q/s320/bara+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421824906902117042" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;the beautiful Yuko Takeuchi (Ohanaya -san!!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4xBx2rtyI/AAAAAAAAAgg/PGr6u2W7rkM/s1600-h/Shingo_Katori.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4xBx2rtyI/AAAAAAAAAgg/PGr6u2W7rkM/s320/Shingo_Katori.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421824908032980770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the uber dependable Shingo-san&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;(no picture on the official website, why so?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I am so surprised how the story went. At first, you'll just be introduced to single fatherhood and the usual back story of sad fairy tales and then you'll, of course, think that the new girl the father meets will be her new princess again where he will find love again. Well, it happened. But, NOT THAT FORMULAIC WAY!! It was surely complicated. There were lots of twists and turns in the story which will you think this is not an ordinary human drama. Or was it? Or maybe the writer is just really great that this kind of story really was still able to deliver fresh ideas after having so many kinds of dramas presented inside the tv screen? Well, whoever he is (Nojima Shinji), he is surely simply great!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another one, the thing that makes me miss buchou and hotaru and the reason why I got myself write an entry for this one, is of course the lovers confrontation at the end of the series. They do always have one, don't they? Like with Hotaru no Hikaru's and Galileo's own mini love confrontations. Well, not that really romantic with that of Galileo. I just put it that way...&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;fufufufu&lt;/span&gt;. The confrontation scene with this one was held inside a green house of roses. The setting didn't bring any sense of romanticism in me, until .......WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! Shingo-san non-stopped spoke "Aishitteru" to Yuko-san. And Yuko-san felt it so sudden that she is asking him to wait, maybe to make some preparations for herself but Eiji-san (Shingo) just continued the magic word over and over again.!! Wooohhh!! So sweet!! Shingo-san is not really that handsome compared of course to his SMAPmate Takuya, but something about him over shines this "handsomenity's" existence. Doing something like that, with full of honesty, is really a scene only in fairy tales. But the characters in this drama lived up that atmosphere and showed us the true nature of LOVE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4tAAAtajI/AAAAAAAAAfo/KYcI-At_qmM/s1600-h/Bara+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 384px; height: 230px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/Sz4tAAAtajI/AAAAAAAAAfo/KYcI-At_qmM/s320/Bara+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421820479426882098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;the love confrontation scene&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over all, it was surely a very very nice drama. Not that extravagant. But it was really really nice. This drama will surely teach you a simple lesson about trust, honesty, family, love and life. This is a surely a must-watch!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From someone-who-thinks-that-the-title-of-the-drama-is-cool,&lt;br /&gt;Me ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matsuda Shota-san is here. I feel he has good dramatic skills.

But, Teito destroys it. Well, even his bestfriend, Mikage. They are both PATHETIC. Are these boys really from the ARMY? Well, it's not that bad to have those kinds of men, but their BROTHERHOOD &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span id="review19934" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;is so OVER THE TOP!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/characters/14/54264.jpg" alt="Mikage " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;" &gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;The lamest best friend ever!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;MIKAGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="review19934" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;I've reached episode 7, but wasn't able to finish it. I still don't know the story. It's really confusing. I don't know what they are fighting for. Images of the past of Teito confuses him, but IT MORE CONFUSES ME!! Every episode will test your patience. But, I won't be betting anymore.   My only regret is that I wont be able to see the 7 Ghosts, and I hope Teito is not part of it. My golly!! He's the most lame MAIN CHARACTER EVER BORN!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:small;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/13/13588.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;" &gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 16px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;My regrets!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span id="review19934" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;HOW COULD BE THIS SO POPULAR?

I don't think I can recommend it. but I know my sister will like this. **Sigh**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="review19934" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;and also before I forgot.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span id="review19934" style="line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt; WHY IN THE WORLD IS TEITO STILL IN HANDCUFFS????

I watched it full at last!! Nyarhahaha!!! Well, I was happy I wasn't disappointed. But sure, one thing, I realized..the serious tone doesn't get fine along with the anime, its plot holes are easily seen..Bwahahaha!! But don't care anymore, Romantic + Comedic = Uber SATISFACTION!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bwahahaha!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, what can I say without any spoilers??? Hmmmm....It ended with a happy ending...You'll already know it!! Although very averag-y and cheesy, I still can't get enough of happily ever after. I got what I want, although I might say I was, of course, been surprised about some unpredictable turn of events. But nevertheless, it added to the sweetness of the story.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welkin - sama deserves my highest respect!! I truly love him, that's why I would want to see more of his weird expressions and statements. He truly belongs in a unique category of heroes!! Wushu!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, anywayz.... I could say that Valkyria Chronicles isn't perfect. You'll easily spot its weak points.

Bwahaha!! Because of this one, I felt faith again!! There is hope in the Anime Community. Bwahahaha!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahermmm...Sumimasen...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, back to the topic. I accidentally fell over with this one. I saw its title from somewhere then immediately rushed to myanimelist to check. I was surprised that it received good reviews, because I believe this hasn't received much talkings (or am I Wrong?) Well, anyways..I was actually hesitant at first because I thought it might be a very lousy war title and I just might be put into a suicidal chair. But, GOOD THING...I wasn't blessed with a perfect intuition! Bwahahaha!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I easily fell in love with it! It wasn't as heavy as what  I thought at first. It actually has nice balance of themes which a good anime could offer: Has a light approach, but with a serious tone; Not bloody, could totally be enjoyed by everyone even children; funny yet touching (kinda reminds you of the holocaust); and of course, the most important ingredient..hihihihi....the ROMANTIC BLINGY that has been circulating my hypothalamus ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bwahahaha!! Yeah, I'm writing this one because of my undying emotion towards the love pyramid that the main characters have.!! I am not even half the series, yet I already feel this unstoppable urge to say something about my new found love duo!! Wushu! I always find my new dream love team, they are already so many, now I can't even remember them. Don't mind me, I'm talking to myself..hehe ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyhowzz..I could say that Valkyria is quite similir with Code Geass, well yeah, of course, since they are of both war type. But good thing, my comparison would be in favor with this one..hehehe.. I enjoyed Geass, but not like with this "smiling - wholeheartedly enjoyment" for Valkyria. =&gt; Unlike Code Geass, Valkyria has a soft nature which could give you a relaxing feeling. Although, it's in the middle of a war, you still can't help but be ...happy! Tee hee! I don't know..Happiness is the name of the game. Well, I don't blame Geass, because of course, it is written that way, the plot is very serious and dark. But what I am pointing is that...well,,,hehehe...just to make Valkyria shine...whatever...don't mind me...hehehe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where am I? Okay. May I tell you something about the characters? I'm still on episode 14, so I do not know what's still gonna happen next, but from my initial observation, I could say that...WELKIN GUNTHER is totally KAKKOI!! **nosebleed** He's totally a weirdo, but of course, a genius in disguise. Who wouldn't like him? A very naive guy, but is totally an incredible man. He fights with a very sure-to-win plan! And even though, how great and smart his opponents are, he, of course, outlasts them! Nyarhahahahahah!! (kinda fishy, he always wins no matter what)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St9ZHzUJtOI/AAAAAAAAAeo/aeoAP3NoW4c/s1600-h/Gunther+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St9ZHzUJtOI/AAAAAAAAAeo/aeoAP3NoW4c/s320/Gunther+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395128869181830370" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;The heroic  Welkin -sama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then we also have, Alicia. I was so happy that Marina Inoue voices her. My golly, Marina-san always receive good roles but I felt she was already typecasted with this kind of roles..but anywhoozz, so great of her! Back to Alicia, well, she's your typical strong-natured female personality whose prowess captures the hearts of men..Bwuhuhuhu!! I am now being jealous of her..Argh..but I know Welkin-sama and Alicia would be a perfect love team, so I'll let them be.! So that means, noooooooooooooooooooo other partiesss!!! (but this makes the story more interesting..tee hee!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St9ZrZ2ODCI/AAAAAAAAAew/7OEyx2I1llM/s1600-h/Alicia+3.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St9ZrZ2ODCI/AAAAAAAAAew/7OEyx2I1llM/s320/Alicia+3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395129480820689954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;The aphrodite Alicia - san&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Then we also have.. I won't tell it anymore. Since I felt my ramblings had been so out-of-town already. Gomen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Over all, I am still keeping my hopes high! I know there are more happy episodes to come. I just hope that they don't disappoint. ! **always fingers crossed**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From someone-who-can't-get-over-with-the-romantic-affair-of-this-Anime-100%,&lt;br /&gt;Me&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;^_^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-6926779556682001599?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/6926779556682001599/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=6926779556682001599' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/6926779556682001599'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/6926779556682001599'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/10/valkyria-chronicles-first-look.html' title='Valkyria Chronicles: First Look!

Well, Yozakura Quartet, I could say, falls to the so - so level for me.It's not very bad, but not very good neither. If you have free time, then try watching it, but if you're kinda busy and only goes for the must - type then, it's okay to skip it. You could live your life to the fullest even without seeing this.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Well, I don't mean to bash the anime. I had some little pretty moments actually. hmm..little moments...hehe...I don't know. I like its concept of 'youkai', it always remind me of my Claymore days and Claire -chan..hehe..but anyways, it's kinda cheesy here.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;However, I don't think the story has been rushed. It actually has a nice flow for the 12 - episode type. Although I might say, great heroism and character improvement plus coolness factor are lacking in this one. For me, the characters are blah, although they are actually very likable. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;For example, the main charac, Akina, I am so rooting for him. I want to him to be the sole savior of the Sakurashin Town, and wishing him to be a super "saiyan" (read: super powers) later in the series, but apparently, he is just a typical human being who is just gifted with a curse which runs in his family,and can only do one thing...tantananannnnn...cleanse youkai. He was overshadowed by the next not-even-cool-but-I-like-her character..  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St8RiasVXXI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/zz2KqwywAJU/s1600-h/Akina.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St8RiasVXXI/AAAAAAAAAeQ/zz2KqwywAJU/s200/Akina.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395050161591639410" style="cursor: pointer; width: 152px; height: 200px;" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Akina - human&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;...Hime. She so reminds of Yomi-onee-san from Ga Rei Zero. They are both long hair and beautiful. They are both skilled warriors. The thing that differentiates them (aside from their identities) iis the oozing coolness factor of my greatest onee-san! Yeah boy!!Hime doesn't even have the slightest of it, well, I am so horrible bec. I am comparing the two which should not be the case since they are not of same situation..Well, whatever, don't mind me... Hime has the greatest role in saving her city but I didn't feel much of it that's why even though I like her, she won't make it to the cut.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: normal;font-family:Georgia,serif;" &gt;&lt;img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/St8QRlznmtI/AAAAAAAAAeI/AvtYAtwkJXg/s200/Hime+2.jpg" /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:georgia;font-size:small;"  &gt;Hime - Ojousama&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"&gt;      &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;With the other characters, let's say..hmmmm...passing marks for them.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;With the OP &amp;amp; ED, passing also..but they do not make a recall to my ears..except for that particular BGM,,the one with the english lyrics?

I believe, we have different tastes to choose the good and the bad. So it's for you, readers, to decide! (Hmmm...I would be so touched if anyone would just read this..hehe...)   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;From someone-who-already-moved on-to-a-new-anime-series, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;Me   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-size:medium;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="white-space: pre-wrap;font-family:'lucida grande',tahoma,verdana,arial,sans-serif;" &gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt;^_^ &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-size:medium;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-2833284992611779166?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/2833284992611779166/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=2833284992611779166' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/2833284992611779166'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/2833284992611779166'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/10/i-am-missing-my-yomi-onee-san.html' title='I am missing my Yomi-Onee-san!

Wahahaha!! It's been ages since my last post here. Anyways, I'm so excited today that I even made a short review even after just watching 3 episodes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My last watched sports anime was Over Drive. And I wasssss sooooo soooooo disappointed how the story went that I dont even bother to finish it. That's why I refrain from watching any sport type since then. But, I was intentionally going to buy Ookiku furikabutte, since Mamoru Miyano - san was here (bummer! Only got a supporting role). After having a copy of this, I was, of course, hesitant to watch it, thought it might &lt;span style="" id="review17670"&gt;also suck. But something turned out right.! Golly! I was easily hooked from the get-go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I just finished watching ep 3. And I was visually, emotionally and musically satisfied. The lead character, Mihashi, who lacks self-confidence but was actually possessing a gift for his field is not new to me. It resembles something Ippo-like, a soft hearted person who was always being bullied but was actually an extraordinary machine man! Although, it really sounds Ippo-like, Mahashi is still different because he is somewhat outpouring with sensationalism. Hehehehe ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never thought that the lead role would be coming from a VERY VERY loser-type character. He's so different from the arrogant aroma of other lead stars like Ryoma and Sakuragi. Mahashi will make you annoyed in someways. But you'd learn to love him and empathize him. I almost cried when Abe held the hand of Mahashi and figured out the hard work of Mahashi had been just not to be a burden to anyone. I would love, love to see more of the coming out of my dearest Mahashi - kun.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As of this writing, I think I'll be able to keep up my great anticipation from the series. The characters are interesting esp. Abe and Tajima. And I believe there will be more of interesting names to come.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll watch out for more great episodes! With this fast-paced anime, I know it wont get me bored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fingers crossed:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From someone-who-is-rooting-for-Mahashi's transformation,&lt;br /&gt;Me ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-8537409571572209891?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/8537409571572209891/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=8537409571572209891' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/8537409571572209891'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/8537409571572209891'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/08/another-rookies.html' title='Another Rookies?

Well, since last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WaahhH!! I've been visiting Hunter x Hunter episodes lately (originally planning to watch the Greed Island OVAs but something struck on me that made me re-watch the entire series) but my special gift (jinxness!!!) suddenly entered my awe-inspiring moments!! Where did I go wrong??? Why do these things are happening to me??? Why should the DVD stop at episode 32!!!???? My golly!! That's right after Hunter Exam, which means the journey of finding Killua!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;That was my FAVORITE PART OF THE SERIES.!!! This means MORE KILLUA MADNESS!! But as I have mentioned, NO TO THIZZZZZZZZZZZZ.............. BWUHUHUHUHu!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't find any HXH complete episode in the &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;palengke&lt;/span&gt;. Bwuhuhuhu!!! The streaming sites are CRAZY!! They wont help me watch it. The INTERNET  CONNECTION is CRAZY, well, it always was. BWUHUHUHUHUHUUHU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I don't know what to do anymore.............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good thing, I learned something NICE, which is.....................GON IS TOTALLY COOL!!! I never thought he really has a nice character, well maybe because I'm so focused with my Killua-sama that I totally forgot Gon-kun. But, anyways, it's never too late to appreciate. They don't seem to grow old, and something tells me they don't die. Bwahahahaha!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I'm still not losing HOPE. There's still sunlight after sunset; day after night; sun after rain; tomorrow after today; one after zero; two after one; three after two; and et cetera after et cetera, and et cetera, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOMORROW WILL BE MY LUCKY DAY!!!!!!

After some time, here we are again. Wohoo..Yohohoho!!1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, so what should I tell you first? Let's start with this Roxio burning program I'm using. Well, I bought it with having confidence that it could definitely smoothly burn movies directly to dvd regardless of any format, because, FYI, my Nero 8 never get tired of pooping dialog boxes for some permission blah blah and I can't get through it. So, I looked for some software which could eventually solve my problem. Alas, the store could not provide any software aside from Nero (yes, again but with the 9th version) and this Roxio one. Took the advice of the seller, I still bought Nero confident that it'll work this time because it's another version with complete details of everything. No hassle now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, that's what I thought.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unfortunately, it didn't work again, but it's the DVD this time. It seems corrupted so I returned it to the store and got this Roxio instead. It's a new product so I have my hopes high. But, what have I done to receive this challenge in my unremarkable life?! Well, I found out that the DVD burning category of this one seems not to recognize all extensions of videos. So, my.mkv files would still be in my preserving download folder, apparently. And worse, the DVD rom doesn't seem to read blank cd/dvd! I can't get even burn ordinary videos in WMP because it can't recognize a burner. Yuhuhuhuhuhu... :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've searched the net hoping to find a forum which can help me with this predicament. But it appeared that even the net people can't still get the solution to our common problem. *Sigh*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I should have not removed Nero if only I know this thing would happen. Well, I kinda know it coming. Yes, something like that would definitely come - to someone like me.. Hekhekhekk...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I'm currently burning .avi dvd and it still 11%. My gosh!

I already had a copy a year ago but it was only now I decided to try it out. And guess what, i found something totally new!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nope! It's not about the the whole detective thing. It wasn't about the physics theory and the solutions to its myteries but a very not related subject.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hehehehe...&lt;br /&gt;:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found my new love team. Mukyaaaaa!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O yes! Yukawa-sensei (Fukayama Masaharu) and Utsumi-kun (Shibasaki Kou) are SUCH A SUPER PERFECT COUPLE!! Wushu!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh my gosh! I totally wish they both end up together, not only in the drama but in REAL LIFE  too. OMG to the highest power!!!  This is actually a bonus in the drama since it isn't a romance type but what a PLEASANT BONUS IT IS!  Oh my goshness!!! I can't concentrate in the drama anymore. Kou Shibasaki is so beautiful and Masaharu Fukuyama is totally handsome. It is so undeniable that they are the love team to beat! It's only once in a blue moon that I got to react like this but it's totally worth it (the other one is my Hotaru and Buchou love team from &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Hotaru no Hikari)&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, I promised my self to make  drama review first for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Rookies&lt;/span&gt; since I already seen it weeks ago and follow it with Hana Yori Dango the Movie, but I didn't know what happen, Galileo isn't the best in the basket and quite predictable at times but it certainly presents something new and &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;hookablity&lt;/span&gt; formula which I really don't know what it is ( or maybe it's really the tandem of the leads, super heheheheh)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I'm in the last episode. I'm planning to torrent the special and the movie along with Rookies (hoping I could find already one for it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I'm hoping to see more Yukawa-sensei and Utsumi-kun moments until the end.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SiFZ_9-wSLI/AAAAAAAAAco/eq_PXk4JRGY/s1600-h/Galileo+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 442px; height: 248px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SiFZ_9-wSLI/AAAAAAAAAco/eq_PXk4JRGY/s320/Galileo+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341649588542523570" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;A scene in the last episode&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Not really a romantic scene but it is so romantic for me.

HMph!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really do not know the key point of the writers of just keeping the arrogance of the devil sister until the end. I was hoping she would eventually tone down and repent on her bad doings but it turned out that she, at the end, still lived as the ALLY OF JUSTICE!. So poor Kumako-chan ^~^ The freedom she longs for ages will never come true..(*@*) so sad...haizt...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heheheheh....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I'll stop complaining...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;.....cuz' ......I'm &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So Super Extremely Happy&lt;/span&gt; that I finally seen Seigi no Mikata in its true form...Gyabooo!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What part would you not like in this one? Well, as for me, N-O-T-H-I-N-G!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are looking for a real feel-good Jdorama that has standards, then this one is SURELY  a Keeper!! The story of an older sister who bullies her lil sis is quite something and NEW, although, as for mine, it's the other way around.....hehehehehe...Anywayzzzz..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought this one would be all about making the older sis learn a lesson and would be a melo-drama but, surprisingly, it made me cry laughing.....!! The chemistry between the older sis, Makiko (Yu Yamada) and younger sis, Youko (Shida Mirai) is truly a treasure.. They look so good together, and really looked like sisters in real life. They played their parts so so well. I was surprised by Yu Yamada. I know she's a real beauty from the start so I do not expect her to do such absurd things like that of my Hotaru-sama (Haruka Ayase from Hotaru no Hikari). But when she began to do her lil develish gestures with, of course, a lot of funny actions, I realized why she is truly the ALLY OF JUSTICE. Shida Mirai, of course, is a given. She can really act..and act so well. Her performance in the Queen's Classroom is really astounding and here is her another best. Mind you,,,these two ladies received acting awards,,which I think they truly deserve.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP5YabruSI/AAAAAAAAAao/BMBbz95g5xI/s1600-h/YamadaYu.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 143px; height: 179px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP5YabruSI/AAAAAAAAAao/BMBbz95g5xI/s320/YamadaYu.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333380581544409378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The devil Makiko&lt;br /&gt;(Yu Yamada)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7oDQ7OGI/AAAAAAAAAbY/ocJYD2MnhJc/s1600-h/seigi+4.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7oDQ7OGI/AAAAAAAAAbY/ocJYD2MnhJc/s320/seigi+4.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333383049226434658" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Devil but funny!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Users/april/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-5.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7nrURZlI/AAAAAAAAAbI/sblvuBl2qOs/s1600-h/Shidamirai.PNG"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 137px; height: 170px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7nrURZlI/AAAAAAAAAbI/sblvuBl2qOs/s320/Shidamirai.PNG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333383042798020178" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The bubly Kumako - Youko&lt;br /&gt;(Shida Mirai)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Users/april/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/Users/april/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7oHrqTaI/AAAAAAAAAbg/kVETa8eD-mk/s1600-h/seigi+5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7oHrqTaI/AAAAAAAAAbg/kVETa8eD-mk/s320/seigi+5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333383050412314018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Go Kumako&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The supporting characters were also well portrayed. Naoki-san (Mukai Osamu) is so KAKKOI!! He is super good-looking. He looks like Nicholas Teo but my sister doesn't believe it. He and Makiko look so good together. And I am so happy that the two of them appeared in another Jdorama together, Mei-chan's Butler,..Wushu! I'm definitely going to check it Out! Kanata Hongo who played the love interest of our bubly lil sis is a truly bishounen in the making. He's not a Johnny's but he is so skinny. Why do a lot of Japanese men especially teenagers look so skinny? They are pretty faces but their bodies are a no-no! What kind of trend is that??? Well, anyways, Kanata and Shida have a potential. They are a team to be looked out very soon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two families were so lovable, especially that of the sisters'. I like it when they are arguing. I especially like the last episode where they are debating about the divorce and the sisters were quiet, and Youko was contemplating that she had never seen her sister so frailed before, and the memories of her strong sister rushed into her and because of LOVE, she stood up to defend her big sis! It was such a touching scene. I cried so much. I won't tell you what happen next. Find it your self..Mwah mwah mwah!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;**some momentszz&lt;/span&gt;**&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7nyj1Q9I/AAAAAAAAAbQ/peN_59wE3ZI/s1600-h/seigi+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7nyj1Q9I/AAAAAAAAAbQ/peN_59wE3ZI/s320/seigi+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333383044742333394" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7oZA6JKI/AAAAAAAAAbo/1jMNrd8_NAA/s1600-h/seigi+15.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP7oZA6JKI/AAAAAAAAAbo/1jMNrd8_NAA/s320/seigi+15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333383055064835234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9rFAEbOI/AAAAAAAAAb4/K2tPVT6LlVQ/s1600-h/seigi+10.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9rFAEbOI/AAAAAAAAAb4/K2tPVT6LlVQ/s320/seigi+10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333385300255468770" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9rlR3HoI/AAAAAAAAAcI/FqgvT8nn75w/s1600-h/seigi+12.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9rlR3HoI/AAAAAAAAAcI/FqgvT8nn75w/s320/seigi+12.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333385308920028802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9rbH0n-I/AAAAAAAAAcA/uciw0abaWhU/s1600-h/seigi+18.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9rbH0n-I/AAAAAAAAAcA/uciw0abaWhU/s320/seigi+18.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333385306193567714" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9qyBkr7I/AAAAAAAAAbw/fLczfBg49-0/s1600-h/seigi+17.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SgP9qyBkr7I/AAAAAAAAAbw/fLczfBg49-0/s320/seigi+17.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333385295161503666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;All in all, the drama is a winner.

Well, I DO SO MANY TIMES. WHENEVER I WATCH GOOOOOOOD ANIMEZZZ AND SUPERB ASIAN DRAMAZZZ, I ALWAYS WISH LOCAL CHANNELS HERE IN THE PHIL. WONT HAVE ANY INTEREST ON THESE SHOWS. YEZ, I KNOW, THESE GREAT SHOWS DESERVE A GREATER AUDIENCE TO APPRECIATE THEM AND EVENTUALLY CREATE A HUGE FOLLOWING, BUT, I KNOW I'M ON MY SELFISHNEST WITH REGARDS TO THESE..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great anime and dramas became highlights of my happy memories that is why I don't want these shows to be taken for granted.....BUT..........NOT WITH THIS ONE....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya, DEFINITELY, not this one!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN deserves to be told to the whole world. Its story is  history itself. It surely is why OSAMU TEZUKA-SAMA created ANIME. Titles like TTGL is the reason why ANIMEZ KEEP ON ROCKING.....ROCKING OUR LIVESSS! AND I KNOW EVERBODY FEEL THE SAME WAY TOO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gurren Lagann, yeah as you know, started with a sssssssuuuuppppperrrrrrr sllllooooowwwwwww pace. And thanks to all reviews (all positive reviews!) that I've read for this one, I kept holding on until I figured out the cause of all the hype from this anime. I've also read a spoiler that one of the main characters will die, so I'm always on the look out for that one....but I, MYSELF AND I, was so SURPRISED AND TOTALLY HAD A GOOSE BUMPED when that dying scene came right in front me. MY GOSH! Why does such a thing happened when you're starting to build up a particular center of attention that will make you want to watch it more, I mean, you know the chemistry between the-great-ex-hero of the show and Yoko-oneechan....hUHUHUHU....i totally cried when that unexpected battle cry came out. Though it was a really very upsetting moment, I know to myself this is where the REAL JOURNEY BEGIN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so it goes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We came to meet Nia-chan. I actually liked her character because she gave another spice to the story although she had her own ways of annoying me, though I can't think of any in particular. But whenever I see her Picture, I can't help myself remembering that very bittersweet moment at the end.. Yeah,,,FYI, I'm now beginning to cry....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna tell you now my general reaction to the show...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gurren Lagann, is kinda 2 seasons in 1. Because, there was the obvious building up saga before the grown up era. But, of course, you wont realize it yet before you could actually get into half of the story. While watching the show, I kinda had a thought and question in my mind.......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW COULD SUCH AN ANIME COMBINE ALL THE GOOD ELEMENTS OF AN INTENSIFYING SERIES INTO ONLY 27 EPISODES? and another season wont be of any necessary?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That was then I came to remember all the animes i used to watch in the afternoon when i was still in elementary and were always in a hurry just to never get late watching them. These hard-core animez include GUNDAM WING, yU YU hAKUSHO,Gundam G, bTX, tHUNDER jeT, dRAGON bALL, NInja Robots, and so many animes full of my good memories..***sigh*** That is why, I think Gurren Lagann must be a source of a good memory also to others, especially those who are otaku-in the making. I want this one to be a part of the afternoon-must watch to the younger generation of my country because mine's was so special and I want them to feel it too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now, after that suppppppppperrrrrrr sllllllllllllooooooooooooowwwwww beginning of the series, I couldn't believe I was really taken aback. I slept last night still thinking of the bittersweet memories from this anime. And yes, it was really enough reason to become proud of your SPECIAL TITLE - OTAKU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sorry I couldn't write any particular things about the anime: the story, the characters, the sound and other etcczzz..Because I was lost...really lost...can't just simply put it into simpler terms or digest it into particular category...its effect was really overwhelming, words of surreality are only coming out from my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So superb. period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;I like to see happily ever after at the end of each story, because fantastical sweetness still lives on me. But, after watching the Endless Love series, I found another meaning of sweetness. Love doesn't have to be lived by two persons physically because love grows over longest distance, may it HEAVEN or HELL. Love Moves In Mysterious Ways. Though, I dislike seeing those sad endings, it creates a more tender and deeper meaning of LOVE.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LONG LIVE SIMON AND NIA!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a-proud-to-be-otaku!,&lt;br /&gt;Me ^_^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-1119998303030635051?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/1119998303030635051/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=1119998303030635051' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/1119998303030635051'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/1119998303030635051'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/04/who-hell-do-you-think-i-am.html' title='Who the Hell do you Think I am?

You see, I thought I would be facing them longer and have to deal with some 10 maybe 20 lousy minutes and more to come, but I was soooooooooooooooo surprised that they were easily BUTCHERED!!! MY gosh! This ANIME boasts in B-L-O-O-D! And to think that these people in the poster were the main characters,,,HUH? What would happen now in the story????? AHEMMMM.... I was confused for a while. I paused while seeing the credits at the end, waiting for the ed song to play..but nothing showed up? What's wrong with this anime????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EHERM&gt;....Now we're faced with another set of characters. They possess powers like what- I-thought-to-be-the main-characters also have, like they can see beasts or dark spirits what an ordinary person cannot do. As you see, these characters work under the government to destroy these malevolent spirits and help to maintain peace on earth. These were chosen people who have certain gifts and abilities to perform the tasks assigned to them. See, nothing extra- ordinary right? Well, it's the re-usable plot of any action anime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;De mo&lt;/span&gt;.....Don't lose hope...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I have mentioned earlier, the what- I-thought-to-be-the main-characters were BUTCHERED right from the very beginning. So, this may seem something new and intriguing, right?.....BWAGAGAGAGA!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Will you kill someone you love, because of love? Ahemmm....Kinda soft and romantic right? It doesn't seem right for a bloody anime like this, I thought. You see, This anime is lead by a female named Kagura Tsuchimiya who idolized her Yomi-oneechan. And Yomi-oneechan, true enough, is a very skilled swordsman and a prodigy in the making. She was set to be a heir to her fostered-clan and had a very cute love-hate relationship with her fiancee, Nori-chan. Romantic, it is! They even had a filler episode just for the two, Yay!! If you're into this kind of genre, action with romance inside, then this one is really for you!! Hek hek ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All seems right and fine, until, of course, the dark side made his entrance. This source-of-trouble which made the goody-goody relationship of everyone turned to its worst situation and gave a 360 degree rotation to all the lives of our dear characters..HUHUHUHUHUHUHU!! ^~^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because, you know there's a lot of things that were really regrettable and as a viewer you could not help to feel so remorsed for the things that could have saved: relationships with your co-workers, relatives, friends, love life (huhuhuhu, so much regret ^~^) and with your treasured one. Huhuhuhu :(&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to think, that this whole thing is just a prequel to the original story.....MY GOLLY!! Although, I'm gonna say that the 12 episodes kinda satisfied me, and I feel fine even if there wont be any continuation to the story, the thought of the real plot keeps me more interested. Real main characters will be revealed. Wushu!!! I haven't searched for any season 2 yet, if their on the making already. But, Whatevah!! Sure they will, it's not like they kinda use the setting of the manga only and wont deliver the real fruit. 'Couse, they wont.

Anyways, I guess we have our opinions with everything so I'll give mine with this one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay, if you are really looking for a super deep, profound and out-of-this world original concept, well, don't try this one. Might as well go check some super stiff plot and oscar-worthy stories (?) to satisfy your technical hunger and desires you're looking for an anime!!! I'm telling you this is not going to win any awards!!! Hmp ;&lt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zombie Loan doesn't have any new things to offer. Well, I guess just like any other animes because their stories had just been recycled over and over again. But, as an otaku, you never get bored watching them especially if you're really massively entertained!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, of course, the heroes here save lives and benefit from it. And because there are two male leads here, you cannot avoid some Uhmmm..moments here and there..well, good thing there's no special Uhmmm between them. Kinda cute the petty fightings here and there but i'm kinda not into Uhmmm moments between two maleszz..Hek Hek. ^_^ Especially with the Uhmmmm moments between two girls...Hek Hek ^ _^ Please, not with this one. Michiru is so cute with any of the male leads, so let us leave it like that.. Hek Hek ^ _^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know what I'm saying if you, of course, have seen the series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, anyways...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The characters are really likable. Sure there are clichez all over the place, but I never get tired of it. I never thought that Michiru would be a likable character. Coz you know, I'm always into strong-willed females with great personalities that could absolutely make womanhood proud. Hek Hek ^_^ Luckily she changed but her weakness is still adorable. I really really like cut li'l moments between her and Chika! Wow, I get his name right. Chika,Shito, Michiru. Chika, Shito, Michiru. Chika, Shito, Michiru... Hek Hek. I'm getting tongue twisted with their names...^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sadly, the theme songs weren't that great. Well, not even good either. They are so upbeat and kinda crazy. I'm not getting it. But there's one insert song which I liked, and I'm gonna search for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What can I say more? Well, it had been a short trip. It, of course, needs to add more episodes. It left you hanging. I would love to see more of the trio and their eventual romantic affairs..Hek Hek ^_^ I WANT TO SEE MORE ZOMBIE LOAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a Believer that says this anime deserves a shot!,&lt;br /&gt;Me ^_^&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-8862951786933314622?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/8862951786933314622/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=8862951786933314622' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/8862951786933314622'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/8862951786933314622'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-loan-zombie.html' title='How to Loan a Zombie (ZOMBIE LOAN ANIME REVIEW)'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/ScuEk9WpEfI/AAAAAAAAAZY/UOeQxwh_nYw/s72-c/zombie.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-5257144281967116086</id><published>2009-02-13T00:43:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-02T00:09:32.860+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='xxxholic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='seinen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anime review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anime'/><title type='text'>How would you read this?

As in right now!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My gosh!!! How could I almost miss this one??? I bought this with D. Gray Man, and I planned to watch the shounen first, thinking that Holic might suck and I would be&lt;br /&gt;jinxed by it. Oh yes, I had that thought. How horrible...but, MUKYAAA~~~I was left in AWE!!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don't have high expectations with this one. Clamp's works remind me of Card Captor and Magic Knight Rayearth, both I enjoyed when I was in grade school, but watching them today doesn't make me a fan anymore. That's why I have doubts,, and doubts, and doubts, until....I heard the OPening...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wushu!! it keeps on singing in my head until now,,for real..It definitely grew in me...How could you not like this? this song simply makes you for a good mood...and is so so so so appropriate for the anime it self...Yosh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never thought that I would love all the CHARACTERS in this one. Yuuko-san is the most LOVABLE Witch, as described in the DVD cover, I have ever known. it's okay that she isn't given much of a development compared to other leads because her general presence makes her femininity stand out the best!! I love her, she's like a bigger sister..Tee-hee ^__^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Watanuki is the most vulnerable male character I've ever met...hehehe, as if...He is so handsome when he is serious..I remember the first episode where he is walking in the street so seriously then suddenly started to run so fast as if someone is chasing him, later on revealed that he is being annoyed by the spirits which made him roll in the road for real...hehehe..so cute attention-getter for a start...He is voiced by my second favorite dubber, Jun Fukuyama,so great of him...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is the relationship between Doumeki and Watanuki considered as Shounen Ai? Can it be called simply as Friendship? Why people have to label simple gestures as it is??? Sigh~~~ Whatever...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, the animation doesn't seem realistic..I mean how the characters are drawn, they don't seem like real people..But I think the artwork is great,,Well, I'm not really good with this technical stuff...hek hekkk.,,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, this is a SUUUUPPPERRR recommended Anime. I have my best times, my average moments and my love-to-watch-it-at-night-but-is-so-scary-i-always-look-at-my-back syndrome...heheheheh&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From me,&lt;br /&gt;Your Love BUG&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-5257144281967116086?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/5257144281967116086/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=5257144281967116086' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/5257144281967116086'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/5257144281967116086'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-would-you-read-this.html' title='How would you read this?

Don't waste your time contemplating whether you're gonna watch this or not. I'm telling you, go directly to your favorite streaming site or prepare your torrent downloader for this. This ANIME will shake your life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, not really, ahem, kinda just carried away...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just made a recommendation of Skip Beat, it's with Ouran Host Club. My Ouran is my 2nd favorite anime,because i believe it greatly represents the SHOUJO GENRE. to tell the truth, i enjoy better shounen anime than shoujos, but OURAN changed my mind..as well with SKIP BEAT. Wahahahah!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who wouldn't love Kyoko, the main lead. I'll admit it. I can see some part of me into her character. I still wish to be a princess, there's still the little child inside in me who still believes in fairy tales. Even though Kyoko is not speaking of it, her feminine side is so realistic and is so relevant to the youth today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A good lead is one my criteria in choosing anime. Just like Haruhi, I really really like free-spirited, intelligent, smart and strong-willed heroine. AND KYOKO FULLY EMBODIES IT. She's way better than my Haruhi-chan. OH mY GOSH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The REVENGE part is the best thing, because this help us to see the real Kyoko. I like her. She's not a show off. Yes, she might be a cry baby but is never an annoying one. She has a good disposition in life. She is not lady-like, which is the BEST about her personality. She is not boxed. WUSHU!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Ren, wufufufu! To think that Jerry Yan is gonna portray his character in the live action adaptation is such a...a....a.....a..........FEAST TO CELEBRATE...wUSHU~ I'm thinking of RAIN. well, whatever. Ren Tsuruga is not your ordinary good boy bishounen. Good ThinG! I hate Gentle Lead Male who is SO GOOD TO BE TRUE! He has also his own evil ways, well, towards Kyoko. Which makes the 2 a more romantic couple...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There goes SHO,,I also like his character even though he's supposed to be the antagonist. not only because my favorite dubber voiced him (MAMORU MIYANO) but he's also NOT AN ARCHETYPE. He's the coolest villain evAH!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, if you like interesting characters like me, and just wanna have plenty of good and goofy times, try this right now. This will even surpass the Twilight Craze...BWAHAHAHAH!! Let's SKIP THE BEAT!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;I also like Moko-san, Kyoko's partner...&lt;br /&gt;I hate Ariel Lin,,I don't want her to do Kyoko's role...can they change the casting please...&lt;br /&gt;Looking for more happy episodes...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love lots,&lt;br /&gt;a newbie from Love Me Section&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-4931728393582116343?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/4931728393582116343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=4931728393582116343' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/4931728393582116343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/4931728393582116343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2009/02/love-me.html' title='Love ME!

How could that 26 episodes be that fast? It leaves so many stories to be watched for, if (hopefully) there's gonna be a second season of the anime. I'm not fond of reading mangas so I think I have to wait for the next one. Wish they bring it soon. This is not a new anime so I hope they are already in the process. (*~*)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I think the ending episodes, their last mission and battle, were not that much intense. Maybe with the first half, but the latter part to the end weren't that much satisfying. I was really looking for a more in depth battle where Clare could fully use her potentials without messing up. But unfortunately, it isn't the time yet. Clare still needs a lot more to learn and should be given ample time to develop. Whaaaaaaaaaaa.........now it's making me realize the series has given me a let down. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...............&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe for now. Maybe until they air the second season....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, if you're gonna think about it, the hanging part adds up to a more exciting mystery to the story. There are still so many characters to reveal, who are Number 1 and Number 2? It keeps me guessing. Miria, Galatea, Rafaela and even Ophelia were already strong warriors, so I'm wondering what kind of powers do the top 2 possessed? Were they even greater than Teresa? Nah, I don't think so. Teresa is a Legend, isn't that Clare?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, the villains of the story were also spicing up the lives of our claymores. I thought it's only gonna be Priscilla but I was surprised that she was only a subordinate of one of the 3 greatest enemies of the series. Wow, I want to see the exhibition of their powers. Wushu!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like, most importantly, to see Clare and how will she develop as a real successor of Teresa, or even surpassing her Idol's powers. I want to see everyone in the organization to be shocked when she becomes the greatest among the claymores inspite of being a human. Bwahahahahahaha.....then her friends would be so proud of her and will think she's a monster, in a good sense. Bwahahaha.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I just hate the romantic blingy again between Clare and Raki. Eew to the max! I hate when they show the kissing scene and how Clare's face looked like. She's not like her true self anymore~ Then Raki said "I love you" to Clare. Eew~! Doesn't she even realized the no-romantic-affair the theme of the story should be!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I know I'm just overreacting. I hope it's just a family love that is going on between them. *Sigh* Whatever~!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still love Claymore!!! More! More! More!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then,&lt;br /&gt;^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SU9ll57zQCI/AAAAAAAAAXo/j1CSnG_M6yY/s1600-h/choppa.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 100px; height: 100px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SU9ll57zQCI/AAAAAAAAAXo/j1CSnG_M6yY/s200/choppa.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282552589810090018" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-7881024425188570512?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/7881024425188570512/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=7881024425188570512' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/7881024425188570512'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/7881024425188570512'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-know-its-not-yet-end.html' title='I know it&apos;s not yet the end.....

Yes, with so much ANGST! Well, in a good way. I know CLAYMORE is a good anime, based from reviews and everything, that is why I got a copy of it. I wasn't really expecting a lot because of the underestimated capabilities of my own gender-mates. But, to the FULLY GOSHesNESS I stand CorrecteD! Wow, I'm just halfway in the series yet the insurmountable excitement makes my palm sweat. Hehehe...too much excitement..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyways, I like Clare, the lead cast, and the story of her past. One of the greatest back stories I have ever known.  I like Teresa, her beloved claymore, so much and wanting to see her more in the episodes to come. But I was heartbroken when I watched her unprecedented and unpredictable death. HuHUhu... Clare was so cute when she is still a human. I wished she just continued her destiny as a human and let another claymore (male?) do the revenge. But choosing to fight and changing the course of your fate is such a valiant step a human can do, and I applaud Clare for doing that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I just hate the fact that there's a romantic blingy going between Clare and her side kick, Raki. It's too much to bear with, especially with that kissing scene. YUCK! EEW! Wish they wont do that again, so inappropirate. Anyways, I get my hopes so high right now. I guess more revealing and gushing episodes are yet to come. And i can't wait to see them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll make an entry again after watching the whole series.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;I dont want too see that romantic blingy again. IT ruins the series. Fingers crossed. Hopes are high!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Till then,&lt;br /&gt;^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SU5X141JF-I/AAAAAAAAAXY/LPmmPHcqZWo/s1600-h/2900836969_4c3c70247b.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 51px; height: 85px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SU5X141JF-I/AAAAAAAAAXY/LPmmPHcqZWo/s200/2900836969_4c3c70247b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5282255996252133346" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-4826324962292257123?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/4826324962292257123/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=4826324962292257123' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/4826324962292257123'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/4826324962292257123'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2008/12/girl-power.html' title='Girl Power!

It doesnt give me a peace of mind, which i intend to have whenever i watch anime..anyways, maybe im not really in the mood for some bloodbath right now....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*********VAMPIRE KNIGHT -     the BEST! very recommended! Yuuki and Zero is the perfect pair..im in the second season already...needs lot of yuki and zero moments!! getting exciting and intriguing..though bloody (source of power) it is fine and descent...would give you romantic moments..and very comforting...sigh...need to see more of them..more of them ..more of them...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********OVER DRIVE-                    i stopped at 17...watched the 3 or more episodes which i think are the highlights of the series..but i think it will still push through,,i am on the game round already,, so maybe i should be expecting more intensive episodes soon...hate the CHEESINESS. hate the GO! GO! CHEER! hate superficiality!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;********BASILISK -                        only the first 5 episodes...want some more,,maybe after any of the three above...hehehe..this is also very heavy...it makes me so into it, so i have to be more cautious about this....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TILL THEN NEXT TIME&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;^_____^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;OYASUMI NASAI!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-8533800889146068738?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/8533800889146068738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=8533800889146068738' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/8533800889146068738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/8533800889146068738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2008/11/my-updates.html' title='My Updates'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-8240692756275944973</id><published>2008-11-26T22:50:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2008-11-26T23:49:10.351+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='rant'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='internet'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hate'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='smart bro'/><title type='text'>I'm waiting</title><content type='html'>I hate Smart Bro...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been waiting for almost three hours just to finish the loading of vampire knight from crunhyroll (i felt that crunchy also betrayed me because it seems it doesnt want me to watch yuuki and zerrooo....though i know it's the connection's real fault) but the LAN CABLE was broken and can be easily dejected, so whenever it was moved the connection stopped and ruins everything.&lt;br /&gt;SLOW CONNECTION + BROKEN CABLE = DISASTER (LOATH SMART!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is sooooooooooooo nooooooooooooot  cooooooooooooooolll.. so contradicting with the series i am into today, which i should be watching right now but due to annoying circumstances,,had been cancelled....my gosH!

I was really cheering for Ramiele then, so she used to be my only bet in American Idol. But sadly, she got booted out. It made me cried to see my only reason in watching the show leaves. A.I. wasn't that special to me anymore after her exit. And I told myself I will not watch this show ever again. But...ahem...I failed..myself. I do not have an entry of my dearest Idol Rami here in this blog, but i plan to make one soon. But for now, I'll talk about David first. No, not lil David, but The COOK..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a gradual fan of David C. I'm not a follower of his previous great numbers, although I think he is really exceptional in this batch. He got more personality compared to other fellow contestants. He knows how to shine because he masters and learns his potentials and use them in the most appropriate manner. I'm not a fan of rock bands or of rock genre. I'm also not a music lover that much. But I strongly believe that this talent is the Star of All Shining Uniqueness. I really really love his originality and his guts on the stage!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know i will be interested in watching AI again after I saw and heard "Always be my baby", which he gave a new flavor and vibe. He's a rocker with a &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;soul and heart&lt;/span&gt;!. And is a truly amazing singer after I cant stop myself listening to his Music of the Night over and over again. What a Phantom! What a heart! WOO HOO! DAvid COOK for the WIN!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;object height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;param value="http://youtube.com/v/wLYmPEeNwyY" name="movie"&gt;&lt;embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://youtube.com/v/wLYmPEeNwyY" height="350" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-5123971491471023329?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/5123971491471023329/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=5123971491471023329' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/5123971491471023329'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/5123971491471023329'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2008/04/david-cook-music-of-night-studio.html' title='David Cook - The Phantom'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-5382824024561476465</id><published>2008-02-24T15:12:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-02T00:19:10.637+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese drama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='editor'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='himitsu no hanazono'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese drama review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='brothers'/><title type='text'>What's the secret?

I truly enjoyed this DRAMA..really enjoyed! Although i can say it is not that too overwhelming like Nodame and Dragon Zakura, but it is a show recommended for everyone's taste. Not that too addicting but it is really something special. Very warm and touching..and deadly hilarious.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ADMINI%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.jpg" alt="" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The good thing about the show which i really like, is casting SHAKU YUMIKO as Tsukiyama Kayo, the heroine of the story. I admire this actress very much, really good in her craft. I find her very beautiful although this is the first time i have seen and watched her. I was surprised that she is already 28 because she does not seem to be in my opinion. She is one of the reasons why i kept watching the show because i want to see more of her. She is really beautiful and likable.  I can't find any scene where she got me annoyed. She is the light towards the dark lives of the brothers, especially the part where she accompanied Hinata after the confession of his real identity. She stands as the older sister to him. She is the IDEAL SISTER to everyone. YES, THAT'S IT. GASSAN IS EVERYONE'S SISTER!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;my GREATEST DISAPPOINTMENT in the show CONCERNS the LOVE LIFE OF my ONEE-CHAN. I don't like the older brother, Wataru, for her. Although i know it's gonna happen and is really expected. HUHUHUHUHU!!!!!!!!!!!1 Why???? I'm really pushing myself for the third brother, SATOSHI, to end up with TSUKIYAMA because i feel they are the most likable team among th 3 older brothers. JUN KANAME as SATOSHI, which i think i've seen him somewhere (drama), is really KAKKOI!!!!!!! KAWAII + KAKKOI = happily ever AFTER!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;but sadly, wataru confessed to gassan, though no direct answer from her, the feeling is obviously mutual! HMPH! Anyways,,,, the story is really simple yet excellent. The secrets were the X factor of the drama, the thing that made hinata (youngest brother), KANATA HONGO, shines as an ACTOR and an IDOL!! woooohhhh!!!!!! so MOE!! I cant believe it! Not just long ago, i've seen him perform TWIST SERVE of RYOMA-SAMA and now,,,,WHATTTTTT?????? He is slowly turning into a REALLLLLL BISHOUNEN with a SOFT SIDE. But i still feel his side of being a kid, although he becomes taller, his face is still the soft kid which everyone wants to adopt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OHHHHH!! BEFORE I FORGOT!! the OTHER NEXT GOOD THING OF THE SHOW aside from TSUKIYAMA is its soundtrack!! VERY LIKABLE AND IS WORTH LISTENING TO.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BABY DONT CRY by Namie Amuro is ENOUGH TO BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS&lt;br /&gt;i feel touched and moved when i witness brotherly love.&lt;br /&gt;so pure and innocent.&lt;br /&gt;it makes me wanna cry&lt;br /&gt;

TOTALLY KAKKOI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i dont find the cast to be exaggerated although their acting is really out-of-this-world! they really made it look like the manga version (though i haven't read it myself) with those kind of white eyes, i dont know what do they call it..but it is really superb..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i like ryutaro mine, EITA, here..hehheee..another bishounen..also kiyora, i just forgot the name of the actress. i find her really pretty and simple..i also love masumi and saeko..they both have their own moments esp. saeko who is really lovable and witty..and the last would be stresseman, who i thought at first that the actor is really a foreigner because of the accent but i was really surprised that he is only a japanese, he is such a good talent, very versatile..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the orchestra is really captivating..i couldnt say less. i cant think of any praise to add more bec. my appreciation is already leaning towards a new drama that im currently watching..but needless to say, THIS DRAMA IS SURELY ONE OF THE BEST!! just want UENO JURI X TAMAKI HIROSHI IN LIFE..WISH THE DATING RUMORS WERE TRUE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R7mz7kHnF1I/AAAAAAAAAPA/MojjCnujlKo/s1600-h/noda2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

WOOOHHHH!! I CANT BELIEVE IT! it ended there!! my anticipation had just finally appeared to its halt. how could it be that fast..it's a 26-episode anime and yet it feels like to be 12..I WANT MORE!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i just made my &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;picture perfect &lt;/span&gt;to be MAI TANIYAMA of ghost hunt but i have to change her now already for it must be replaced my HARUHI FUJIOKA-SAMA!!! I LIKE HER!! but it is because she is the center of attention of my new found bishounen SUOH TAMAKI-SAMA!!! I REALLY REALLY LIKE THESE COUPLE...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i really do not know the real story of OURAN before i have watched it..i just have faith through all the good reviews i have read and luckily they did not disappoint me...WUSHU!! the FIRST EPISODE is still the best for me!!! WAAH!!! i was hoping silently that this new student, HARUHI, isn't a man for i want her to fall for someone from the HOST CLUB because i really think she is super cute!!! so KAWAIIIIIIIIIII!!! after that, i know it must be TAMAKI AND HARUHI FOREVER!! like MAI and NARU FOR-EVER!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;the story made me change my perception towards the host (hosto) job presented in the show.. i thought it is like selling your body to gain profit but i was surprised how does the anime did it so..or is it really like this (?) their job is really cool and so funny!! i dont mind some boy to boy scene down there, like between the hitachiin brothers and with hunny and mori-senpai...they are all unqie and so cute!!! woooh!!! ALL I CAN SAY IS ---SO KAWAIIIII!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;this anime made me forget all the tasks of being a student!!! so so so great!!! waaah!!! IT JUST MAKES ME WONDER WHY PEOPLE GO OVER THE OTHER HARUHI (SUZUMIYA) WHEN FUJIOKA AND HIS BUDDIES ARE FAR BETTER THAN THEM!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THIS ANIME IS SUPER RECOMMENDED!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R6XCVZtsbLI/AAAAAAAAALc/tPckFt0xWvk/s1600-h/chibi-luffy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 40px; height: 52px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R6XCVZtsbLI/AAAAAAAAALc/tPckFt0xWvk/s200/chibi-luffy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5162746220785724594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-1028503396709945984?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/1028503396709945984/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=1028503396709945984' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/1028503396709945984'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/1028503396709945984'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2008/02/ouran-high-school-host-club.html' title='OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB ANIME REVIEW'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/SuFrCzx2nBI/AAAAAAAAAfY/Ux9sZ0QtsCo/s72-c/ouran.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-3808646265839729824</id><published>2007-12-28T00:24:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-02T00:22:46.132+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='buchou'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='himono-onna'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fujiki naohito'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='romantic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese drama review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='funny'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ayase haruka'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hotaru'/><title type='text'>What's a himono-onna??

I CRIED, I LAUGHED, I WAS TOUCHED, I WAS MOVED, I WAS ECSTATIC AND I WAS HOOKED SO BADLY!!!!!! my golly, i really do not wish to expect a lot lot lot greatness from this, aside from reading from a blogger that this is a better one,,the plot was already enough to enjoy, a himono-onna character for a very beautiful and talented HOTARU who receive such good treatment from her kind hearted BUCHOU...woooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! i never wished for them to end up together at first because i want hotaru for teshima for he is younger and more handsome but................the world suddenly rotates around its axis that is why my preference eventually changed............ I WANT NOW THE TWO TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER EVEN IN REAL LIFE!!!!!!!  hehehehe....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;these actors are really great..i really like ayase haruka for portraying the role because he definitely gives truly justice for it..i dont find her over doing it (OA) but i find her expressions really cute through out the show,,and BUCHOU is the ideal man ever!! i thought he is perfect to be the older bro for hotaru but then their relationship should not only be like that.........good thing they really made it...even i wish there would be an extra episode i already feel contented of how the story goes....that if there would be an additional one im scared there would be complications involve but im sure it will be amazingly hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOW TOUCHING THE LINES.................&lt;br /&gt;Hotaru: see you.. see you..why?&lt;br /&gt;Buchou: why? because you love me. and i love you too.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;^__________________^       woooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-3808646265839729824?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/3808646265839729824/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=3808646265839729824' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/3808646265839729824'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/3808646265839729824'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2007/12/hotaru-no-hikari.html' title='What&apos;s a himono-onna??

ANIME CHARACTER REVIEW)</title><content type='html'>It made me want more. I have searched some reviews of R.O.D. TV at &lt;a href="http://animenfo.com/"&gt;animenfo&lt;/a&gt; and was surprised to read bad reviews from some viewers. I dont know exactly what are they looking in it and how dare they compare this one to the OVA version. But frankly, I'm really looking forward to watch the three-episode prequel also. They said it is more valuable and is more action packed considering its length. They find it better in terms of characters and story. Surely, because it was shown before the TV and was well exposed before presenting a new wave of craft. Anyways, I do not mind negative reviews about this anime because for me, I never felt any regret while watching it but instead anticipation and excitement grew, making me asking for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"R.O.D." makes no sense to me even after watching the anime. I still dont get why does the anime titled that way. But nonetheless, it surely adds to its mystery because one might probably think that this is another psycho-thriller plot again (say, death note), which had happened to me.. hehehe.^.^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R26LyW81H0I/AAAAAAAAAK8/nXwLH_mUUxs/s1600-h/Nenenerod.jpeg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R26LyW81H0I/AAAAAAAAAK8/nXwLH_mUUxs/s200/Nenenerod.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147205121401495362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;The most disappointing part, I think, in the whole packaging would be the unjustified role of my new found heroine, Sensei Nene Sumiregawa. Okay, at first i thought she's just a passer-by, a stranger for a particular episode who would be the first client of the apparent heroic trio (Maggie, Michelle, and Anita) and would be then thankful for their good work for protecting her (err, another damsel in distress). Unfortunately, she didn't disappear as early as I've thought. She stayed and stayed until the very end and was then turned to be an important character in the story. I was delighted, indeed!! I began liking her, since i-dont-know episode and is still mesmerized by her mystery. She's a prefect model for a new modern woman of this age. One who is not afraid to stand and fight for her rights!! She is no lousy beauty at all. But a beauty with a cause,, wahahahah!!! I just dont know why there are fans who think that Yumiko, the main character in the original ROD OVA, has a romantic affair with her? Why????? Is it bad for two friends to care for each other? Isn't that what friends are for? Why do the loneliness of NEnene be meant for some malicious reason?? She's just not missing a friend, but someone who she calls family. Why do people think so different about simple things? What is shoujo-ai has to do with this? I never thought that this would be an example of it while watching the show. It is just a simple friendly relationship.. ***sigh**** i wish others stop thinking of stupid things about my NEne-sama&gt;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the unfairness of role given to my sensei, well, I have only words for these things: I like the three paper-users' sisters because they give the intensity to the story and light up the mood every once in a while, but Nene-sama is far better than to be a supporting main character. She isn't put at the poster of the anime in some other sources, and if she is there, not that really noticeable. She is like the brain of everything and the source of the story. She had given the plot more excitement than anyone in the show could. She had just got it all: the perfect charisma to be a great main lead of an exciting story. Alas, she isn't yet given this great opportunity (say, a real celebrity hehehehe..) It had ended there. The 26 episodes had been a good blast for me, for i have seen good shots and heard good lines from idol-sama. Although, i cant do anything about the casting anymore....i just wished there would be a spin-off for this title, making nene-nee the lead cast, but that wouldn't be ROD anymore because she isn't having powerful talents that are the usual personalities of the main cast in the preceding titles.  Well okay, i just hope to find another nene-sama in another dimension, but she would be the first nene-sama sensei ever!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS i dont like yumiko, i felt her voice annoying. i really wonder if she is really a legendary fighter..uh well....till then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R26TX281H1I/AAAAAAAAALE/CXfzYqvO4z0/s1600-h/chibi-luffy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 49px; height: 64px;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R26TX281H1I/AAAAAAAAALE/CXfzYqvO4z0/s200/chibi-luffy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147213462227984210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-9037445293728082628?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/9037445293728082628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=9037445293728082628' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/9037445293728082628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/9037445293728082628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2007/12/nenene-sumiregawa.html' title='Nenene Sumiregawa (R.O.D.

TENMA. he is such a genius. i hope there is an existing human like him in this world, though i know that there are really great people esp. doctors that are reigning today..but DR. TENMA is really superb!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i'll just end it here first...im so sleepy, still need to wake up early tomorrow...till then&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R2KutW81HwI/AAAAAAAAAKc/n9pCvie2NR4/s1600-h/chibi-luffy.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R2KutW81HwI/AAAAAAAAAKc/n9pCvie2NR4/s200/chibi-luffy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5143865818688593666" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-1698692343856773567?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/1698692343856773567/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=1698692343856773567' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/1698692343856773567'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/1698692343856773567'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2007/12/monster.html' title='MONSTER ANIME REVIEW'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R2KwV281HxI/AAAAAAAAAKk/MhNSIWYABYE/s72-c/monster.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-4261543024803459023</id><published>2007-11-18T23:45:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-02T00:24:03.472+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='nagamine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='voices of distant star'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mikako'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='noboru'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hoshi no koe'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terao'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='anime review'/><title type='text'>Hoshi no Koe Anime Review</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff209/linksoldier1/fae0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px;" src="http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/ff209/linksoldier1/fae0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Just a quick one...I just finished the "voices of a distant star" on youtube,,,,waaaaaaaahhh... the best 30 minute show ever!!!!! It was really worth the time. I am having problems with the sound that is why the intensity of the show didn't get me in so much, but  still it had me goose bumped! I love the ending!! I love watching sad and morbid endings, like those of Korean dramas especially, because they give you a new atmosphere of a new genre.. Although, I want the main characters to end up together after those confusing light years differences ( i got twisted when i think of this technicality), I think making them afar from each other best suit the theme. I just loved the dialogues!!! Very nostalgic and very PROFOUND!!!

I am more of Light before, because I don't find him really cruel. For me, he's really cool. But after that episode 25, I changed into L. Now that I have seen this final episode, I feel pity for Light. I feel sorry because his hard works  were never paid off, maybe because those were unjust things. But seeing the main character in the story beaten badly is saddening. I thought there would be a more intense scene between Light and N, that would make N move from his position. But the ending makes me feel depressed, it is not because it's a bad one, but really a dramatic act to end the show. The route of Light towards his death with perfect music really makes me want to cry. He is so hopeless. He has nobody with him anymore. No followers to cheer, no lovers to tease, no family and co-workers to command and no L, (his only friend?) to be handcuffed with. I thought L would also give that evil grin in return to that dying body of Light, good thing he did not...because it is the most perfect moment. It seems to me that L is finally fetching Light to go home,,,"the school day is over, now we can finally walk home together"...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 40px; height: 53px;" src="http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w250/Yokoinu/chibis/chibi0.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-7624709517690922503?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/7624709517690922503/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=7624709517690922503' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/7624709517690922503'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/7624709517690922503'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2007/11/after-watching-last-episode-of-death.html' title='After watching the last episode of DEATH NOTE  (DEATH NOTE ANIME REVIEW - SORT OF)'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R0BrY3BGfsI/AAAAAAAAAJY/squB8I0whrc/s72-c/dn.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3943581221964854244.post-3715822889386720617</id><published>2007-11-09T15:03:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-02T00:25:42.789+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hanazakari no kimitachi e'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='toma'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='hana kimi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='japanese drama review'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shun'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='manga'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='maki'/><title type='text'>Delayed Reaction (HANA KIMI JAPANESE DRAMA REVIEW)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;        The reason why i started blogging is primarily to let go of the wild emotions who are dying to crack up brought by the multiple enjoyment from different shows I have watched recently. And one of these fads I have developed currently that makes me gaga over it is the Japanese TV Series - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;HANA KIMI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; (hanakazakiri no kimitachi e) which is adapted from a manga turned anime show. I am a fan of Asian Dramas and really enjoy them a lot, that is why browsing the net would be incomplete unless I visit a site which features updates about them. And I often see cover of Taiwan's star actress Ella of SHE in which she seems to be naked with two boys around him. The series might be a good one, as seen in the poster, which gives me an impression of a comedy genre. It says Hana Kimi as its title. Obviously, this is, again, another manga adaptation and there might be a Japanese version too. I am much curious about the Jap one than the Taiwanes version since I don't feel Ella that much as an Idol. I know it's kind of late because these dramas are long finished and are been discussed numerously around forums here in the internet. But, my badness, it is just recently where i found &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" href="http://www.crunchyroll.com/"&gt;crunchyroll&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; to be of great help of finding good shows on the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;i&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;net&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;And this is where I try my luck. I searched for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;HANA KIMI&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;..and tadaa --series complete.!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;        I watched the drama at first with my younger sister, but it really surprised me when I found myself hooking over the drama alone every night. It takes me days to finish the 12 episodes of the series because I make it two subs at night..wheew!!! Two of  45 minutes is quite exhausting to me already..but I stand firm, even my sis gave it up already. I can't blame her, she still have classes, lucky me - still on vacation! And after all the anticipation...thunder rolls and lightning strikes.....GRABEEH!! I thought Hana Yori  Dango is the drama of the century until I saw the "threesome" and gave them my over whelming congratulations!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;WARNING!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;do not try to watch the drama,, you'll get&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;ADDICTED..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"&gt;The story goes like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;a girl named Ashiya Mizuki (Maki) who is based in US, transferred in a Japanese All-boys School, Ohsaka High School, to make his athlete idol (Sano) in this school jump again. In order to do this, Mizuki have to pass through mishaps and predicaments to make his identity a secret while she is normally acting a boy in front of all the dormitory students. She gained friends and allies while staying at the place and had adventures too. She keeps in mind her true mission while having the best time of her life at the school with the help of her new found bestfriend Nakatsu (Toma) who is secretly in love with her. But how long can her secret identity last? And how would her life be changed by doing this mission?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;And now, let me present to you the people who are around of this &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;CONSPIRACY!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Nakatsu Shuichi (Ikuta Toma)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzQZsryqf9I/AAAAAAAAAA4/CO2HDP1imw4/s1600-h/IkutaToma15.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzQZsryqf9I/AAAAAAAAAA4/CO2HDP1imw4/s200/IkutaToma15.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130754130942001106" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;The first time I saw toma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;su&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; was during my high school years where my cousin started talking about "shounen club" and her KAT-TUN idols. Toma-chan is one of those whose pictures really made me think that there are great looking guys, aside from F4, outside the Philippines here in Asia. He's a part of the talent agency where my cousin's idols are currently in. She introduced her Japanese sense of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;idolism&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; to us, newbies (me and my siblings), who later had been helpful in identifying Asian idols eventually..hehehe ^_^&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I think this drama had given the greatest break in Toma-chan's career. I used to research him before but failed to come up with good resources, unlike now, where countless fans of different races started blogging about him. Now the information is at hand, finally! You cant blame these people who really drool over him. Who would not fall in love with such a jolly and cool character of Nakatsu in Ohsaka High Shool? His sole reactions in every scene are really markable. He is the soul of the series. Only Aliens from outer space might not appreciate his presence in this drama,,but unless you are not, and is real humanoid,, you will surely ask for more from him!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Ashiya Mizuki (Horikita &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Maki&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzQei7yqf-I/AAAAAAAAABA/eHXwHvaOCpM/s1600-h/maki7.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzQei7yqf-I/AAAAAAAAABA/eHXwHvaOCpM/s200/maki7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130759460996415458" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I thought Mao Inoue of Hana Yori Dango Series is the cutest teen idol in Japan already (although I am not really so sure, I have not yet watched several Japanese dramas) but i was so disappointed when I found out that my admiration for my teen idol suddenly dropped when I saw Maki-sama played the role of Ashiya on Hana Kimi. I do not know this actress yet until I watched the series. She looks plain to me. But after browsing some pictures more, and getting some information, and finally loving her role in the drama,,OMG! She is so precious. She looks so kawaii even he is pretending to be a boy, but to me, she's obviously a girl. After using her image in this blog and on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" href="http://www.friendster.com/"&gt;friendster&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;, I've decided to watch her other drama series also. I want more of her. So cute girl!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sano Izumi (Oguri Shun)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzRmo7yqf_I/AAAAAAAAABI/rxtm7cuCp5M/s1600-h/200px-OguriShun.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 162px; height: 177px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzRmo7yqf_I/AAAAAAAAABI/rxtm7cuCp5M/s200/200px-OguriShun.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130838728912830450" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I remember this guy as Uchi on the hit Jdorama,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"&gt;Gokusen&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; in which was lead by Yukie "Yankumi" Nakama (i miss her) with my idol-ever Jun Matsumoto. He is one of my favorite characters in the show. His hair is so memorable. I don't know what kind of style is that, but it looks cool: long, blonde, braided hair. It compliments his personality. The second time I have seen him is when he played the role of Hanazawa Rui with MatsuJun in Hana Yori Dango. He is second to Jun again, Yippee!!! I don't like his character that much although this is also the same character played by Vic of F4 (Lei) in Meteor Garden. I like Vic's role in that show, because Vic Zhou is my idol. However, Shun stand tall in his industry. I know he's one of the sought after celebrities in Japan and even played Shinichi Kudo in the live version of Detective Conan. I am going to watch it very soon! Shun's role as Sano Izumi in HK drama is not that outstanding compared to other casts in the show. This might because of, again, his morbid attitude where he is a loner and opposes by a jolly fellow, in the character of Nakatsu-sama. That is why there are times in the series that I don't want to watch scenes where he is included because of his boring attitude unlike Nakatsu's comedic skits. I never miss a part,though. But he is talented for sure, because he might not have those long list of works on his profile in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" href="http://http//wiki.d-addicts.com/Oguri_Shun"&gt;wiki&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; if he's not really that good enough on his chosen path after all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Nanba Minami (Mizushima Hiro)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzR0fryqgAI/AAAAAAAAABQ/ojiWIu3kYCs/s1600-h/nanba.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzR0fryqgAI/AAAAAAAAABQ/ojiWIu3kYCs/s200/nanba.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130853963161829378" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; I wish MatsuJun was in this drama. The title says it's a "hottie paradise". Well, not all actors are really that hotties, as the title suggests, but there are really casts that are worth seeing here.A good drama where no MatsuJun is quite depressing but having someone who resembles like him, well, is forgiven. I was relieved when I saw my senpai. There are scenes that I can never tell whose actor is playing Nanba. Is MatsuJun had a cameo appearance in the show?                                                                                                                                                                     &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-style: italic;font-size:78%;" &gt;         &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:78%;"  &gt;                                                                         &lt;span style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;jun matsumoto&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzR6iryqgCI/AAAAAAAAABg/_0NgME4RPYI/s1600-h/jun.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzR6iryqgCI/AAAAAAAAABg/_0NgME4RPYI/s200/jun.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130860611771203618" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;But even the truth knocks me that my idol-sama wasn't in the show, I still feel glad that Hiro-san got to play the role. He really stood as the best Senpai ever. Very good at handling things.

Another Hottie. At first, I thought he is just an ordinary and a regular guy. He is Tezuka-san in PoT Live. Although he is good looking, I think his role for the great tennis player is questionable (i haven't watched the movie, though, only trailers).Why? Because...he is over-quaaaaalified! This half Japanese-Spanish idol is really the man! He attends another school in the series but is really essential in the story. His kissing scene with Sano (Shun) is really funny but his masculinity wasn't harm at all. He is still the boy next door.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Senri Nakao (Kimura Ryo)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzSBiLyqgFI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XsqKiQgVr64/s1600-h/200px-Kimura_Ryo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzSBiLyqgFI/AAAAAAAAAB4/XsqKiQgVr64/s200/200px-Kimura_Ryo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130868299762663506" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;He is obviously a "homo" in the series, which makes the show wackier. At first  I thought that his affection for Nanba-senpai is just for pure infatuation but I was mistaken. It was deeper..dramatic** ..like an intimate friend, so close and near, who worries more about the welfare of his greatest buddy who is in confusion.Anyways, thanks to him, he really adds flavor to the show. And his kissing with Nanba-senpai is the best.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;**kiss on cheeks**&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Nakao: Happy! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;^__^&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Nanba: Unhappy.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;: - (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Sekime Kyogo (Osada Masaki)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzSDHbyqgGI/AAAAAAAAACA/yF4Fwrt40HM/s1600-h/220px-Okada_masaki.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzSDHbyqgGI/AAAAAAAAACA/yF4Fwrt40HM/s200/220px-Okada_masaki.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130870039224418402" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I find Sekime-san a cutie in the series. He is the other athlete who competes with Sano in the sports competition and had defended Sano in many occasions. He is the first friend of Mizuki in the drama, as told by the heroine in the ending part, but I don't remember honestly how do these two met each other. I think I should look out for that one again. His confrontation with Mizuki in the farewell episode of the series really made a mark in me. He got me cried there. He's awesome!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Kayashima Taiki (Yamamoto Yusuke)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzW9EbyqgHI/AAAAAAAAACI/FgolrYsZFSA/s1600-h/kayashima.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzW9EbyqgHI/AAAAAAAAACI/FgolrYsZFSA/s200/kayashima.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5131215234335932530" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;He is the dorm mate of  Nakatsu in the series. He looks weird. And looks dirty to me, too. But he is a kindhearted person. He is the first one to know that Mizuki is a girl but did not reveal it since he thought it would not be important. He is noted for his hand gesture (putting them up) whenever he sense something, as bad auras or any spirit. I&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;went to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" href="http://www.photobucket.com/"&gt;photobucket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; to&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;get some pictures of the actors. I was surprised when I got a 2-page frames of pictures for this guy, because I wasn't  expecting anything. The truth is, when I typed Ryo's and Masaki's names in the site, I wasn't able to come up with useful results. To think that those two are far better in looks, this man might be something incredible!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:courier new;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;There you have it. My dosage of healthy life style. There are also funny characters in the series, like the both dorm heads of dorm 1 and 3 and the St. Blossom girls, Hibari and the Hibari four.But these persons I have listed are my favorites in the show. Others might not understand this fanatic feeling until they try it their selves. Why not take the greatest recipe ever, and savor every moment of it!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:lucida grande;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);font-size:130%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);

color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;DEATH NOTE&lt;/span&gt; from a DVD lend by a friend..at first i was cheering for &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;Light Yagami&lt;/span&gt;, the main character of the story, although the hero is obviously the evil guy in the story, i still want him to live despite that he used his power for excessive wrong doings (&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;killing criminals in the world is a not a bad idea: less crimes, peaceful environment and fearless  society,i thought too at first,but too much of something is really bad enough, and this is where Light ruins his own life&lt;/span&gt;) because i know there is something that is behind the demon mask in his face..there might be the real sense of justice in his hand and eventually draw the story into the conclusion that light is a good man after all and can be saved in the end of series because I'm thinking he might die at the end,as such, good always win, and be a good friend with the villain, the anti-main, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;L/Ryuzaki.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;is the good guy where he tries to catch Light because he suspects him a lot to be the one who's doing the killings, despite all the precautions that Light is  using just to keep his own identity a secret. These two are geniuses for sure. One does not let the other catch one's eye. I'm so happy when Light lose his memory. He cant remember his doing when he is still &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;Kira&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;, the evil Light , and because of that Light will be finally on the side of justice at last! Unfortunately, all of these happenings were according to Light's original deadly plan..huhuhu...he's such a mischievous man..Hmp! I thought that even Light gained his lost memories and desire for his ambition, he would have a change of mind over L's case because they had spent time with handcuffs together for a while as comrades looking after the current evil  where Light rests for some time. But, Yagami Light didn't change at all. He is as evil as ever...Now i know why people in the internet much prefer L over Light...the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"&gt;EPISODE 25: SILENCE &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;tells that Light does not own a human heart anymore..he used to have one: red, pumping, healthy, but now this human heart is replaced by a gray-black solid, steady, gruesome, morbid, metal plastic heart already!!!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I used to like you, Light..but after giving those evil grin and those..those red eyes over L's dying gentle body and pretending to mourn his death, is the most despicable thing you had ever did in the series.. i don't care anymore if you get confused to the new smart successor of  L in which he can suspect you and target you using his new and improved methods just to kill you! Light, you're so baaaaaaaaaaad!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I know I'm over reacting, but to betray a person who thinks you are the only person in the world who he calls &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-style: italic;"&gt;FRIEND&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;is so much to begin with...I can't help but cry whenever I remember that particular scene where L dries Light's wet foot using a towel after the soaking-in the-rain part in the roof top...L must be really lonely,,only having an old man, Watari,  on his side...**sigh** I don't blame the Shinigami who did that killing,,he actually sacrificed hi life for this unfortunate incident where LIGHT stood as the brain master.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;I hope&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;DEATH NOTE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"&gt;ends satisfactory, though.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img style="width: 40px; height: 53px;" src="http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w250/Yokoinu/chibis/chibi0.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3943581221964854244-6247061391712985769?l=elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/feeds/6247061391712985769/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3943581221964854244&amp;postID=6247061391712985769' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/6247061391712985769'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3943581221964854244/posts/default/6247061391712985769'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://elysian-monokuroboo.blogspot.com/2007/11/i-dont-like-light-chan-anymore.html' title='I dont like light-chan anymore (DEATH NOTE ANIME REVIEW)'/><author><name>ELYSIAN</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15806829388980313713</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/R1OzKSoFBdI/AAAAAAAAAKU/tV7zIxBlDNA/S220/maki6.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_zMg6OiAixm0/RzM-_7yqf6I/AAAAAAAAAAg/VoLTMsPZ2k0/s72-c/death+note.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
