OJT

Tweet

This past few days had been busy times for me. I have to complete 100 hours for my OJT. The travel is a burden but the whole experience is worth it. We are drawing closer to our last 40 hours or so, then, time to look for another field of study. Wushu!!! I want a vacation galore. I just hope the school wont open soon.

Need supplies for Addiction.....(*@*)

Hungry for Otakuness..

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

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,
Your Love BUG
