Do not watch this ALONE AT NIGHT! (Ghost Hunt Anime Review)

Tweet

 

I love Ghost Hunt, have loved it and always will!

This is my second time watching the series. The first was around 5 or 6 years ago and back then, I've already decided that it's ONE OF THE MOST ENTERTAINING ANIME that I've watched in my entire life.

I don't usually watch anime series of supernatural  genre (although Supernatural is my favorite US TV show) so I only pick those which are really worth my time. Ghost Hunt along with XXXholic remain to be the shows that can give me GENUINE SCARES all the time. I love to watch these shows at night but THEY ARE TOO DAMN SCARY that I can't help but to minimize my VLC screen so the effect wont be that overwhelming..fufufufu..

I don't like gory/bloody scary shows so the tolerable suspense atmosphere of Ghost Hunt suits my taste best. The show gives you the comfortable feeling you long for when you are trying to relax, and gives you an assurance that there is still hope for the ANIME INDUSTRY. The scare, the thrill, the suspense, the rom-com, the youthful aura and the drama - ingredients for a truly enjoyable show which fortunately GHOST HUNT has.

As per the story, it is very simple. A group of supernatural experts gather around to solve supernatural mysteries. So simple yet the cases were nothing but ordinary! The stories of each mystery were delivered in the best scaaarry way possible. The sound and the music amplified the atmosphere to give you a series of pure scare fun and entertainment.

The characters were ALL likable. Naru-chan and Mai, the two main leads, I remember back then how I got crazy for these characters and until now I still feel the same. Also, Mai is one of my favorite heroines ever!!!Aside from these two, all the characters were superb and well-blended with the story. Even though their personalities and abilities were well presented, they do not outshine the cases they worked on. The stories/cases were after all the heart of the series and fortunately these were executed magnificently.

And what a lame scary show it would be if the sound and music were not that effective. Here at Ghost Hunt, you will not only be rewarded with good stories but with A SUPER GREAT MUSICAL EXPERIENCE too. The OP & ED are cool and the BGMs are simply haunting!

The BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT I can say about this show is that it only lasted for 25 episodes. This number is not enough to know the characters better and to solve the biggest mystery of this anime. Having said this, Ghost Hunt is truly an enjoyable series. SCARY+ ENTERTAINING = PURE FUN. You don't need LOGIC to understand and love this series. It just needs your creative mind for it to be appreciated. Although this is kind of an old series, it will always remain to be one of the MOST UNDERRATED SERIES OF ALL TIME. This is waaay better than new titles these days and I can't find a recent series that is a match with Ghost Hunt (recommendation anyone?). It is just sad that it wasn't that popular enough to gain a second season ( or was this the reason??). But anyway, there's still the manga if you want to continue the series, right?

Overall, this series is SUPER RECOMMENDED, especially to those who are bored and looking for some SCARES and THRILLS. Watch this right now, but I suggest to try it at night for a better viewing experience..tee hee!


Till then,

Not a SPORTS ANIME (Cross Game Anime Review)

Tweet

 

This is an entry from http://myanimelist.net/profile/docalion

 

I'll try my best not to spoil the story. This is my first review at MAL after my long anime hiatus.

Anyway, the reason why I watched this anime was because of Ookiku Furikabute, another baseball anime. Cross Game is on top of its recommendation list that is why I got curious and started to watch it. Ookiku was so great and very recommendable. It's a great example of a sports anime that is why I expected a lot from Cross Game, hoping this new one is as superb as the former. But now that I'm close to finishing it, I can say that it's totally a different anime than I expected.

If you're a hardcore sports anime fan or the kind who looks forward to seeing thrilling and exciting sports action, you might not enjoy this one. Cross Game, as for me, is 30% baseball, 70% human drama. The story includes a "past character" whose presence is all over the show, which appeared to me like the effect of Sasuke to Naruto (character and show itself). It is heavy in human drama which I think most fan girls will love. When I say human drama, that's romance for you. Well, I kind of liked it too but for a sports anime to be overshadowed by another element called romance is a bit off. Maybe because this is something new for me as I'm always used to seeing the sports and action to be the main ingredients of the show. I also feel that the two elements are kind of frustrating to watch because it's not clear to me the focus of the story. You will be presented with episodes of baseball actions then after that, a series of slice of life dramas. I mean, if you want to reach Koshien and be the best in Japan, practice, practice and practice 'till you vomit blood and not let your idle time be spent in endless bickering. Well, maybe the bickering and LQs are there because it's more human drama than sports after all. Because of that I felt that the baseball element is not so important to the show, the "who's-gonna-end-up-with" part appeared to be more essential.

As per the characters, the hero is not your underdog type of character ( Ippo, Sena, Mihashi) nor the arrogant one (Sakuragi, Ryoma and Toua). Hmmm..a very average yet the type who only comes once in a decade kind of pitcher, he is. So if you're also the type who wants to see an awesome and cool main character, don't try this one. Yes, I think he's great but not that "great" (in the fanboy kind of way). I think he doesn't have that 100% sports resolve that you normally hear from other sports heroes. I mean, he doesn't wish to be a great baseball player, his goal is not that clear. For another character there's Aoba, the next main lead, a cute girl who mentored the hero. She is part of the love train. Anyways, I like her free spirited character but I'm annoyed by the responses she gets from the male characters of the show. Hmmm.. is she really that pretty/cute? The baseball team is crazy for her. As for the rest of the cast, hmmm...they are likable in the fangirl kind of way. If you're up for the thrills, there's no SUUPEER sports player you can totally cheer for (well, as for me anyway).

Overall, Cross Game is a decent anime. I think it's still better than the popular titles these days. It's not boring but will not excite you either. Well, there are cute moments that can make you smile and the question of "who's-gonna-end-up-with" is enough for you to continue watching the series. But still, A TRUE SPORTS ANIME FAN (or even a shounen-action fan, can that include me?) will not fully enjoy this. Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to try this one.


UPDATE:
After watching the LAST EPISODE, I can say that this is truly a FANGIRL SERIES. It is barely a sports anime. I enjoyed the last part, because it’s really cute. But then again, the “baseball” is really the side dish. Don’t hope for it to be the next ____ (write your fave sports anime here), or else you’ll be disappointed. Watch Cross Game as a human drama anime and not as a sports anime.

Till then,

My Inner Voices and of Hunters and Alchemists

I feel stupid. IDIOT. IMBECILE. USELESS.

Whenever this kind of circumstance is fired at me I cant do anything. Although I know inside there is something I can do because  I believe that whenever I set my mind to it, anything is possible. But, I'M SUCH A LAZY PERSON. And also I'm scared. It's going to be dragging and endless and the outcome I'm seeing is not that very good. I'm scared that the outcome will just dig the truth and will turn the matter into worse. But I know to myself that something must be done. Should I be the one doing it? Or should somebody be tapped to do it? I dont know. I am not fully equipped in this kind of situation but I can start to do something although I dont know where to start. I dont want to feel this "feeling" any longer and to achieve that is to do something right now. But how.....*sigh****

I am so ecstatic today until this "circumstance" is fired at me earlier. **Sigh**

Anyway, the reason for my happiness today is that I planned to write to you again, My Dear Bloggy, about the sensations I'm feeling right now. I've planned to do it in a new blog because this one is full of spam already and I feel my theme is really outdated. But because I'M A LAZY PERSON I felt it'll be a drag to put up a new one, so here I am again, talking and writing my emotions.

The core reasons are about Hunter x Hunter 2011 and FMA:Brotherhood, two series I've finished recently. Ah! Bloggy, I forgot to tell you that I started watching ANIME again. I reverted to my old self again this 2013 and picked up the old pieces of my past. So here we go again, welcoming the Otaku 2.0 of myself. Anyway, as I've mentioned earlirer, HXH and Brotherhood. Well, to tell you the truth these two anime are the ones that I'm intrigued about during my hiatus years because they are both remakes of my top anime (both belong to my top 5).

I've been researching reviews about the two, viewing the comparisons of both the original and remakes and found it too entertaining to read the comments and reviews from online anime addicts. But I got fed up with just reading the comments from others so I thought why not voice out my own opinions. The comments and reviews that I read were helpful for me to come up with solid stances for these two (although this is not going to be a real review, you know me Bloggy, just some pieces of mind from me).

First up is Hunter x Hunter.



Okay, do you know Bloggy that HXH orig version has a very special place in my heart? It is the foundation of very good memories from my childhood years, back when I was just a simple Otaku.  So I cannot simply take how people just bash the 1999 version of being the inferior one compared to the newer version. It hurts Bloggy. People always say that the HXH 2011 follows the manga more and is really better than the old one. Okay, sure HXH is one of the best shounen anime ever but how could people realized it recently, just after watching the 2011 version? Haven't they been in the circulation when it hit the earth a decade ago? Okay I'll understand those who are younger but my gosh people who are living for more than two decades should have realized it sooner. How could they say that the 2011 is a winner when they never felt the joy of watching the original version? Do you know Bloggy that the original version was greatly done here in our country, it was wonderfully dubbed. I love everything about it and loved it more when I marathoned it few years ago (I believe I have a short entry about it here). It solidified my love for HXH, a story that transcends generations. Okay, I know I should just accept the fact the new HXH is being accepted positively because as a true HXH lover, that enough should make me happy. *sigh* It just saddens me that people who enjoyed the HXH 2011 didn't feel the love I felt from the original version: the music it has, the OPs (OHAYOU is enough to make me cry) and EDs, the stubborn but cool Killua, the great Genei Ryodan arc interpretation and the friendship that rose from all the struggles in the story - these are all just epic, ingredients for a world-class legend.

Next is FMA: Brotherhood.




I just finished watching Brotherhood last night. And yes, I enjoyed it. I like the ending part because it reminded me of Ghost Fighter ( Yu Yu Hakusho). I think good and happy endings sum up everything, and save the whole series if it needs saving. Okay, what can I say? Most people online preferred the Brotherhood version than the 2003 version. When it comes to HXH, I think there is a great debate about the two versions of HXH and some say that the fans of the original version will not accept defeat because of NOSTALGIA (yeah right!!). Back to FMA, there is one one word to describe Brotherhood and that is - CHEESY, but in a good way. As far I remember, the original version awed viewers because of its out-of-this-world ideas and ideals and that brought this anime into a higher level. I simply loved the FMA original and felt that it was one of the best Filipino dubbed anime ever. I love Roy's seriousness, Hughes' quirkiness, Nina's tearjerker-death and all the dark and mystery that enveloped the anime. I love its all OPs and EDs too. On the other hand, Brotherhood is also an excellent anime. Many people who are manga freaks like this one BECAUSE IT FOLLOWED THE MANGA. I hate it when people always say that. Why do manga freaks are always in the way of destroying the pure amazing-ness of ANIME? *Argh*  Anyway, Brotherhood is very shounen to its core. I felt that the mystery theme of the first anime was converted into a more enjoyable mood where everyone can be satisfied at the end. True enough, the ending was very pleasing as compared to the original that displeased most fans. But I think the endings just corresponded as to how the anime were developed, one with a serious tone so a more bittersweet was delivered while a more happily-ever after was given to the brighter version. It's hard to find the winner between the two because they are both great anime and were developed from a great material. But because, I take into consideration the NOSTALGIA factor, I take orig FMA as the winner, fufufufu...

And there you have it. My inner voices.

My Bloggy, thank you for letting me talk to you again. My unpleasant feelings earlier decreased a  little but I know it will come back and shake me for sure again. Bloggy I hope I/we can outwit this and I hope I can get myself to the direction I want to go. Bloggy IT'S HARDDDDD!!!

Do not let your Guard Down! (07-GHOST ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

Don't be deceived!!

I'm sorry, I can't take it anymore.

Enough is enough.

The first episode is so promising. It was fast paced and opens a lot of potentials. But, it suddenly digs its own pit hole.

I'm not against cheesy moments between boys, a little bromance won't bite. But..it's TOO MUCH!! Lame...lame...lame....to the extent of being PATHETIC. Yes, TEITO KLEIN is so PATHETIC!!

The lamest main character ever!!

TEITO

The other surrounding characters look cool, even Ayanami (Main Villain). 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 is so OVER THE TOP!!

The lamest best friend ever!!

MIKAGE

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!!

My regrets!!

HOW COULD BE THIS SO POPULAR? Well, I think I know the answer because, I myself, was deceived. I don't think I can recommend it. but I know my sister will like this. **Sigh**

and also before I forgot.........

WHY IN THE WORLD IS TEITO STILL IN HANDCUFFS????

The love pyramid
(Welkin x Alicia x Faldio)

Har ~ Har!! 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!!

Bwahahaha!!

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.

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!!

Well, anywayz.... I could say that Valkyria Chronicles isn't perfect. You'll easily spot its weak points. The good thing is, when enjoyment factor would be on discussion, it will surely deliver.

Go Squad 7!
(7 is now my official second fave number, after 4!)

So to all my fellow Otakus --- I would want to share with you the cute moments I felt during my sojourn in the world of Gallia and Empire. I hope you could feel its special aura!! Hehehehe...

Valkyria Chronicles: First Look! (VALKYRIA CHRONICLES ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

I don't care how many plot holes this anime has!! and with cliche~ish moments every now and then...no need to bother them as I am already satisfied...because VALKYRIA CHRONICLES --- oozes with COOLNESS FACTOR to the bones!! Bwahaha!! Because of this one, I felt faith again!! There is hope in the Anime Community. Bwahahaha!!!

Ahermmm...Sumimasen...

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!!!

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.

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 ^_^

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. => 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...

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)

The heroic Welkin -sama

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!)

The aphrodite Alicia - san

Then we also have.. I won't tell it anymore. Since I felt my ramblings had been so out-of-town already. Gomen!

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**

I am missing my Yomi-Onee-san! (YOZAKURA QUARTET ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

The cast of Yozakura Quartet

(left - right: Kotoha, Hime, Akina, Ao)

Hmmm...Where to begin? 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.

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.

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.

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..

Akina - human

...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.

Hime - Ojousama

With the other characters, let's say..hmmmm...passing marks for them.

With the OP & ED, passing also..but they do not make a recall to my ears..except for that particular BGM,,the one with the english lyrics? Hmm..I'm not sure..hehe..

Overall, I think this anime would only be on my passing level although I do not regret seeing this. 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...)

Another Rookies? (OOKIKU FURIKABUTTE ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

( an excerpt from myanimelist account)

Helow everyone!! 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...

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 also suck. But something turned out right.! Golly! I was easily hooked from the get-go!

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 ^_^

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.

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.

I'll watch out for more great episodes! With this fast-paced anime, I know it wont get me bored.

Fingers crossed:)

Who the Hell do you Think I am? (TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

Have you ever felt in your whole Otakuity life the feeling that you wouldn't want a series, may it be an anime or asian drama, to be watched in your country locally? 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..

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....

Ya, DEFINITELY, not this one!

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.

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!

And so it goes...

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....

I'm gonna tell you now my general reaction to the show...

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.......

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?

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.

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!

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.

So superb. period.

P.S.
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.

LONG LIVE SIMON AND NIA!!

Episode 5: Obstinate feelings (GA REI ZERO ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

Ga Rei Zero?
Hmmmm.....
I found it accidentally while searching for best anime titles of 2008. Animecrazy.net included it into their list. Hmmm....Kinda intriguing coz the poster seemed so interesting...time to see some shounen moves again...it's blazing!!!

Ahem..here's the poster I'm talking about...

Kinda looks intense, right???

Unfortunately, it doesn't have anything to do with the whooooooooooooooleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee anime.....Hmmm...well, not really. 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????

EHERM>....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.

De mo.....Don't lose hope...

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!!!

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 ^_^

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!! ^~^

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 :(

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. Bring it on!!


P.S.

I like the Paradise Lost (OP song)
Nori-chan! Yomi-chan!! Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuuuh

How to Loan a Zombie (ZOMBIE LOAN ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

What's with the other reviewers which gave this anime a poor score and bad reviews? Anyways, I guess we have our opinions with everything so I'll give mine with this one.

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 ;<

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!

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 ^ _^

You know what I'm saying if you, of course, have seen the series.

Well, anyways...

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...^_^

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.

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

From a Believer that says this anime deserves a shot!,

How would you read this? (XXXHOLIC ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

xxxholic....

What can you say about the opening song?
Don't tell me you're just on the okay level???
Shut up!!!!
Go and get some cotton buds to clean your ears right now!! As in right now!!


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
jinxed by it. Oh yes, I had that thought. How horrible...but, MUKYAAA~~~I was left in AWE!!.

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...


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!

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 ^__^

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...

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...

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.,,

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


From me,

After watching the 18th episode of Skip Beat,,,,, (SKIP BEAT ANIME REVIEW - SORT OF)

Tweet

Bwahahaha!!! All Hail Skip Beat!!!

Isn't Episode 18 the best yet??? I hope it isn't. Because My Anticipation level keeps on rising after watching this one. Bwahahaha!!!


I'm for Kyoko and Ren, but OM-to-d-G!! I never thought Sho and Kyo look so KAWAII together!! Their quarrels surely look like simple LQs to me, don't feel any anger. Bwahahaha!! Now it's getting complicated. Ren is starting to show his real feelings towards Kyoko and Sho is beginning to develop a crush on her..What a DIMENSIONAL LOVE TRIANGLE./....Now, I'm getting confused which love team should I give my support?

Who cares? Is it even the time for that...C'mon people make the Good times Roll!!! This is so Precious!!! Can't wait for the NEXT EP!

Love ME! (SKIP BEAT ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

Wahahaha!!! 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.

well, not really, ahem, kinda just carried away...

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!

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.

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!

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!

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...

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!

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!


P.S.
I also like Moko-san, Kyoko's partner...
I hate Ariel Lin,,I don't want her to do Kyoko's role...can they change the casting please...
Looking for more happy episodes...


Love lots,

I know it's not yet the end..... (CLAYMORE ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

It's over. 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. (*~*)

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...............

Maybe for now. Maybe until they air the second season....

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?

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!

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.....

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!

Well, I know I'm just overreacting. I hope it's just a family love that is going on between them. *Sigh* Whatever~!

I still love Claymore!!! More! More! More!

Till then,

Girl Power! (CLAYMORE ANIME REVIEW)

Tweet

How could an all female lead be this intense? 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..


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.


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!

I'll make an entry again after watching the whole series.



P.S.
I dont want too see that romantic blingy again. IT ruins the series. Fingers crossed. Hopes are high!



Till then,

OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB ANIME REVIEW

Tweet

what can i say!!! i think OURAN HIGH SCHOOL HOST CLUB IS THE GREATEST SHOUJO ANIME EVEEEEEEEEER PRODUCED!!! i have just finished Ghost Hunt right before OURAN and thought to be really hooked there...but my excitement and enjoyment dropped down due to the unexplainable intensity brought by this CRAZY ANIME!! actually, i really prefer watching shounen and seinen type anime rather than those of shoujo because it gives you the spark and the "it" to continue, though i used to like CCS AND Fruits Basket, and got this ghost hunt recently (im still confused on how to determine if it is a shoujo anime inspite of its boyish story, you know what i mean?)

anyway, what made me got into this anime is through great ratings from various reviews i have read looking for good anime to watch..and thanks to all reviewers from animenfo who brought me here and presented worth-seeing shows for all otaku.. 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!!

i just made my picture perfect 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...

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!!

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!!

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!!!

THIS ANIME IS SUPER RECOMMENDED!!

Nenene Sumiregawa (R.O.D. ANIME CHARACTER REVIEW)

Tweet

It made me want more. I have searched some reviews of R.O.D. TV at animenfo 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.

"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.^.^

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>>

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!!

PS i dont like yumiko, i felt her voice annoying. i really wonder if she is really a legendary fighter..uh well....till then.

MONSTER ANIME REVIEW

Tweet

hehehe..it's been a while already..i really planned to write in my blog all of the new titles that i have watched recently,,but somehow i find it hard to do, anyway, if blogs are the electronic diaries, my blog could just turn into a waste because, just like a normal diaries i rarely write entries there and leave it with unwritten pages for a while,,anyway, it is still a good thing to have it to check previous memories...


im currently into MONSTER now, actually i have finished watching Detective School Q and enjoyed it, but i am not probably got too hooked to the show because i dont have a single entry for that one..hehehe..anyways, back to MONSTER again..i bought a DVD of it last week and continuously watching it, unluckily the disc went down that is why i turned into a streamer again, but that isnt really bad, it's just that i find wathing shows in DVDs more convenient that streaming them on the iNet...

i am really eager to watch this anime due to sooo many great reviews i have been reading about it..and as far as i have been seeing, it is realllllllllllllly one of kind...somehow i find it cooler than DEATH NOTE but not to the point that i almost agreed with darkness just like in Kira's show.. anyways, i am realllllllllllllllllllllly so impppppppreeeeeessed with the lead, DR. 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!!!!!!

i'll just end it here first...im so sleepy, still need to wake up early tomorrow...till then

Hoshi no Koe Anime Review

Tweet

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!!! Here are some of my favorite lines

***excerpt from siliwily***

Mikako Nagamine - ... say, you know Noboru, I have a lot of things I reminisce about. After all I have nothing here for example you know...
Noboru Terao - ...for example, things like summer clouds and the cold rain... things like the smell of a fall breeze...
Mikako Nagamine - ...like the sound of rain drops hitting an umbrella... like the softness of Spring soil... like the feeling of peace at the convenience store in the middle of the night...
Noboru Terao - ... and then you know, like the cool wind after school...
Mikako Nagamine - ... like the smell of chalkboard erasers...
Noboru Terao - ... like the sound of a truck passing by in the middle of the night...
Mikako Nagamine - ... like the smell of asphalt in the rain. Noboru, things like that, I have all this time...
Noboru Terao - ...I have all this time thought that I would like to experience these with you Mikako.
Mikako Nagamine - The armada is sinking! I have to defend the Lysithea! Say, Noboro... we are far, far, very, very, far apart...
Noboru Terao - ... but it might be that thoughts can overcome time and distance.
Mikako Nagamine - Noboru, have you ever thought about something like that?
Noboru Terao - If... if for even one instant something like that could happen what would I think? What would Mikako think?
Mikako Nagamine - ...say, there is probably one thing we would think. Say Noboru...
[ Both ]: ... I am here.


waaahhhhh!!!!!!!! I want to cry, but I can't. I need to watch this again. Feels not getting used to it...I WANT MORE!
