They observe almost everything and listen to everything you have to say without criticizing or judging. These people are often the most sincere, kind, and wonderfully interesting people, yet fail to be attractive to the opposite sex for some reason.
so this is my life, and i want you to know that i am both happy and sad. and i still trying to figure out how that can beAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07085091091361003667noreply@blogger.comBlogger200125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369622824921742386.post-42317820871951114172015-02-05T18:46:00.001-08:002015-02-05T18:46:58.867-08:00second dollfie:kizuna yumenoSo, I have fall deeper in this doll hobby and bought another doll. A smartdoll design by danny choo to be exact.<br />
<br />
Introducing, Kizuna Yumeno.<br />
<br />
Though, I am planning to redesign her to be an OC (original character). But that has to wait bcoz I am so busy right now.<br />
<br />
Kizuna has a much better articulate joint and teachnically is a BJD. She is also much more easier to pose compared to Yozora. But, Yozora looks better in any outfit. <br />
<br />
Here are some pics of her, Yozora and friends. :3<br />

<br />
10 years ago, i saw this very cute anime-like doll in a chinese magazine, and at that moment i knew i wanted that kind of doll. but the price would killing the 14 year old me then, so i just kept quiet about it.<br />
fast forward about it, i met someone who had a doll like the one i saw, not similar just same. vibes and all. so, stalking began and i figure out what it is. a ball jointed doll or BJD. i asked him how to get them and he told me. but i still find it is hard and complicated.<br />
<br />
one day, i saw this ad, about a doll up for sale. i just went straight and asked about it and voila, i have ordered a doll.<br />
<br />
the type of doll i ordered is not a BJD, yet it has the same anime-like features, which is why i like it. my doll is a seamless figure doll, or SFD.<br />
<br />
so, *drum rolls* here's my imouto Yozora.<br />
<br />

the white dress i bought from one of the toy agents in malaysia. it was quite cheap.<br />
to be honest, dolls clothes are so expensive. because it is not mass produced.<br />
there is a yukata that i custom made for her, it cost me almost MYR200<br />

<br />
ao haru ride.....<br />
<br />
my reaction when someone introduced me a shoujo anime: it's just the same storyline, right... cliche and overused, right?<br />
<br />
though, i must say, there's really nothing impressive much about this anime, it managed to keep me hooked up till the end.<br />
<br />
i'm not saying that this anime is bad, it was good even, especially to shoujo lovers. but it really wasn't my cup of tea.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
the plot is kinda nice but in my opinion, it keep reusing the same formula. their on and off relationship, which i dont really get. the pace was slow but a bit rushed to the end. and futaba talks/thinks so much... i guess that is normal because this is shoujo anime and she's the main character.... but we only got a little peek on what Kou is really thinking and feeling. their past relationship that was revealed little by little and the secrets that Kou is hiding....<br />
to be honest, i can't relate with Futaba. maybe this is the reason why i don't really get this anime.<br />
<br />
the art and animation was nice, as expected from shoujo anime. at least, this anime don't have too much of those sparking, kira-kira background moment.<br />
<br />
the music. the openingand ending was okay and nice. but the song that i really love is the one in background, I Will by Chelsy... i don't know why but the melody just get my attention so much, better than the opening and ending.<br />
<br />
in all, i'd give the anime 6/10, which is quite high for a shoujo anime in my book.<br />

Anime title: psycho-pass</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Episodes: 22</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Director: Naoyoshi Shiotani</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Series composition: gen urobuchi</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The series has been on watch list for too long. I just didn’t
find the right time to watch it. But because of the persuasion from a friend, I
did. Two words, mind-blowing.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Plot:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the future, a new way was developed in order to valued a
human stata of mind and personality. The information was computed and processed
as Psycho-pass, a meter to measure wheter a man is suitable in the society or
not and their destiny. The story revolves around, a group of CID officers and Enforcers
who work to as the police to uphold the system, putting the people the system
deemed unsuitable away from the society and managing crime in the somewhat, perfect world.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Characters:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Main </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tsunemori akane: a newly appointed CID officer. Have to dela
head first into a serious case and at the workers. Very bright nad always have positive
Psycho-pass readings.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shinya Kogami: a latent-criminal in the eye of Sybil
systems. Work as an enforcers along with tsunemori Akane and the others. Have a
very good hunch over criminal analyzing. He is as good as the criminal himself.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nobuchika Ginoza: another detective and the group. A senior
to Akane, he is very keen on maintaining the hierarchy order between the detectives
and the Enforcers</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Shougo makishima: the anti-sybil. He is as manipulative as
it can get. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
All I can say is the characters design is quite usual. The newly
CID, the old, yet wise hound and the
slippery criminal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Setting: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Time setting: 2111</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Place setting: future Tokyo</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Society setting: the age where technologies can control
every aspects of human lives and human just live their laives as deemend
suitable for the by the Sybil system. It was considered the perfect world,
where the crime is nearly sero and everybody have their own happiness by the
path chosen for them.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Music: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nice use of some classical pieces as BGM, even those that we
can consider unfitting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The openings was quite grasping the essence of the series
and the endings are perfect answer to it. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Art style/animations:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Considering the time and place setting, I have to say the
art is quite nice and suitable for the future that we imagined. Though, I sould
really mention that this series is quite graphic. Yet the gore, didn’t take
over the anime that make it into a horror anime.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The animation is well done in my opinion. I think the
animators and director did do the animations for certain things other animators
and directors wouldn’t. especially in the fight scenes. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
References: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve never wrote about the references in anime before but
this I just cant resist.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are quite a few writers, artists and philosophers were
quoted in the series. And i am ashamed that I didn’t know nearly half of them. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most notables ones are Shakespeare and plato. A writer
and philosopher respectively. Shakespeare, well-know for his dark humour and
beautiful tragedies and Plato, who philosophy made us question the meaning of
life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
There are alwo a few books reference in this series, all in
which philosophical and in a way questioned human wort and value.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Theme: </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To me, the theme of the series is technology and humanity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My reviews:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After watching this anime I cant help but categorize the
characters into these categories. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kami: Sybil system</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tenshi: WMPSB</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Akuma: shogo makishima</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ningen: the society</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Via the sybyl system, the society has become the perfect
world and the perfect beings. The Tenshi help to uphold the system and the akuma
wants to stir the system.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And I thought about something that is related to us all. Can
human values be controlled and determine by the system that was created by
human? What is the ideal human? we are valued everyday, in schools via test and
exams and in workplace. But, was the value really matter to us?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve always know that humans are not black and white. We are
the shades of grey. Something that we perceived as right maybe is wrong in the
eyes of another and vice versa. In this anime, the right to be grey was revoked
by the system. You are either balck or white. Human are valued and determined whether
they can be with the perfect society or not. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Deeper into the anime, I thought, was Sybil syetem really
the kami of the society. Was WMPSB really the tenshi. And what is Shogo
Makishima is right in a way? What is all the roles was messed up?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I value the live I have now. Yes, I made afew mistakes but
that is life. Without mistakes you’ll never learnt. But, Sybil system didn’t
even allow you even think about mistakes. You just have to be perfect, as
directed by the system. Sucks to be in that kind of society.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Makishima seems to realize this. He realized that the value
of human can be determined by the system alone. We may thought makishima as the
bitter loner, isolated by the system. Even the system wanted to erase his existence.
He do things to stir the system to shows that he is not affected by the
systemand other people shouldn’t too. Along the way, he realized that Sybil system
cant really determine human value. It was all just computation programmed. It’s
just that he took the much more drastic way, befitting those writers he quoted.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the end, no matter how perfect the system is human are
better because we have judgement and we are all have shades of grey inside us. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>

<br />
but now, back on how my life progressed so far. i just finished my studies in a teaching college in Kuala Terengganu and now after 4 months of being unemployed, i am working as a teachers S.K Taman Dato' Harun (Satu), petaling Jaya, selangor. i was excited but at the same time, nervous as hell.<br />
i mean, i was raised in countryside and to live in a bustling city with the highest rate of population really got me off my edge.<br />
for now, i live in a rented room with my friend. i was lucky because she is with me. we went to the same college so i was at some point relaxed. and she used to live in selangor so she showed me bit and pieces about living here.<br />
<br />
i wanted to be a teacher since i was you, so i was glad, no more like, i AM EXCITED!!!! i feel like i was walking in the air right now. is it even real? so for now, i must try to work my best so that i can be a good teacher. for now i'm teaching a jumbled subjects like science, english, PE, Health education, art and civic.<br />
<br />
being an official teacher is a lot more hard work compared to during practical time. now, there a no lecturer to cover you asses when you got more that 40 periods a week. and the workload.... i just say i was a bit lucky compared to my friends. yet students were all the same to me. same extra energy to burn, making me tired after each class. but i must say i had fun.<br />

<br />
what make this story hilarious is that Tomoko is disgustingly positive with herself and always ended up in disastrous and hilarious result. she had a seemingly foolproof plan for the day but it always went haywire thanks to her inability to talk to people around her.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oTazOcfTPF4/UvN7W87XbjI/AAAAAAAABIg/sLobm5jRfYA/s1600/tomoko.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oTazOcfTPF4/UvN7W87XbjI/AAAAAAAABIg/sLobm5jRfYA/s1600/tomoko.jpg" height="180" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Tomoko has a serious case of shyness and had a nervous breakdown when people talking to her or when she tried to talk to people. in this anime, Tomoko was not bullied. there are always people around her that was nice to her but she close herself up because of her shyness. i laugh in a lot of scene but then i buried by head in the pillow and think, why is she like that? she reminded me of something in my younger days and i hate that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qv2Th2O8yPA/UvN7k9pvYkI/AAAAAAAABIo/b44S6eVm7n4/s1600/tomokoxyui.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qv2Th2O8yPA/UvN7k9pvYkI/AAAAAAAABIo/b44S6eVm7n4/s1600/tomokoxyui.jpg" height="284" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the opposite case of Tomoko is her middle school friends Naruse Yuu. she and tomoko both were once an otaku and quite a misfit but she breaks her shell nicely and become a butterfly. tomoko could do the same but in my opinion, she didn't even break her shell. she didn't even really try or maybe she had expected that she would fail so she didn't even bother trying.<br />
<br />
here's a little tidbit of the anime:<br />
<br />
the plot is about a high school first year trying to become popular. she had simulations on it many times and confident that it will work out but the moment someone talks to her, she had a nervous breakdown. even a simple conversation is hard on her. but she didn't give up and formulate plans after plans, albeit failed to execute it as she hoped.<br />
<br />
the animation is this story really center around Tomoko so the animators wahsed out the background and the other characters. but there are also times when the one being washed out is Tomoko. it is to show how she didn't feel like she didn't belong there.<br />
<br />
the opening make me expect a fighting scene of some angsty lines but there are none. the ending song was either this one cute pop song on how she feel or random songs that fit the moment. i kinda like the idea of putting random songs in it because it gave a fresh feel and it relate to the episode quite well.<br />
<br />
watamote is a hard slap on reality on our face. we are either Tomoko or we know a Tomoko. we are either helping them or we ignore them. we know that Tomoko need help and there are times when we really wanted to reach our hands to her. but then come the Tomoko side of story, which she unknowingly rejected people's help and build a fence around herself.<br />
<br />
<br />
it was funny and sometime it was depressing especially for those who had experience of being a missfit. it wasn't an emotional rollercoater but at the end of every scene i look back into myself and feel depressed. for the anime to be able to bring out the deepest feeling and dark secret of the person watching it, it was a really good anime.<br />
<br />

<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sN9IDDENDoM/UvHA1aWnphI/AAAAAAAABG8/uD_jv7_1ZZ0/s1600/Monogatari_Series-Second_Season.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-sN9IDDENDoM/UvHA1aWnphI/AAAAAAAABG8/uD_jv7_1ZZ0/s1600/Monogatari_Series-Second_Season.png" height="200" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
i have already read the light novels of this series and to be honest i kinda watched it according to the time flow of the novel, not the release sequence of the anime.<br />
the story center around Araragi koyomi, o boy who was turned into a vampire then turned back to being human. after he return back to normal human it seems like he life got involve with more Kai (oddities/monster/ spiritual being). this story tell his journey in helping those affected by the Kai and the stor of the Kais itself.<br />
<br />
what really got me hooked up on this is two things. the first one is the involvement of supernatural beings in the series. a guess every girl love supernatural things. what make it much more enjoyable is that you could reseach on the kais on your own. the idea of using japanesse kai and folklore really make this story stand out.<br />
<br />
the second thing that got me hooked up is the animation. the animator of this anime is shaft studio. i like how they just eliminate unnecessary characters in the anime, even it is a scene in the school but there was no other students, just araragi and whichever girl (hitagi/hanekawa/kanbaru) he was dealing with. i figure out that everything that appear in the anime is related to the story, wheter to emphasis or to give a clue on something. oh and, don't forget the head tilt. only shaft can do it and it convey different emotions,<br />
<br />
the plot:<br />
to tell the truth the plot was kinda messed up for first timer. i already read the light novels so i can understand it quite well. basically it is a story of a former vampire, dealing and helping girls that was affected by Kai or spiritual beings. in a way it seem like those who was affected by kai will always ended up meeting Araragi, or he himself seemed to attract those who was affected by kai.<br />

<br />
arts:<br />
the arts was simply stunning. the fact that Shaft used a lot of geometric elements in this make it quite exceptional compared to other anime. it uses the colour that is bright and vivid on the gray background.<br />
<br />
music: the opening song is different on each arc. i like it that way because it won't be redundant. the animation during the opening is also related to the girl in the arc, it gives the hist of the girls feeling and characteristic.<br />
<br />
all in all, it is a must watch for those who love anime based on supernatural. the fact that it wasn't gloomy make it much more enjoyable. it is supernatural but it is not represented in a ghost story mode.<br />

<br />
or Oregairu for short. it just a fad for Japanese visual novel this days to have a long titles.<br />
<br />
i watched this anime a few days back on a recommendation by some people. and, let me be honest. i totally can relate to hikigaya hachiman. his views on youth is twisted yet for me he was more on the realistic side, plus a bit of pessimistic attitude.<br />
<br />
hachiman was forced to join a club by his teacher and there he met with the school ice queen, Yukino Yukinoshita. the purpose of the club is to help any students that ask for help (the volunteer club). then they met Yui yuigahama, a cheerful girl. together, they started to help various students settled various issues.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">i don't think highschoolers can settle this =_=''</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
the plot in this anime is big on yuigahama (jk :3). the plot is the usual 'introduction, climax and ending' formula, yet to me the ending was quite shallow and it din't really wrap up the story (season 2, incoming? maybe?) however i like it. i find the story is easy to understand. it maybe centered around quite a difficult issue but they made it easy to understand. i like how Hachiman tried to help the students that came to the club and at the same time didn't really lost his character. he became from the unknown student to hated students just so that he can express his ideas and feeling. and truthfully, the words he spouted is the same that other students are thinking yet only he is able to say it out loud. along the way, we can see Hachiman slowly build a friendship with Yukino and Yui and some other character.<br />
<br />
art:<br />
the art was nice but it has nothing to write home about. is the same old anime style.<br />
<br />
music:<br />
the opening and ending fit with the anime quite well. but i wasn't really hyped about it.<br />
<br />
characters: (i decided to copy paste the description from myanimelist.com because i don't want to lose the real point of this anime.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;">Hachiman is the story's main protagonist, an isolated, friendless boy who is pragmatic to a fault. His most prominent feature is his set of "dead fish-eyes". He firmly believes that "youth" is simply an illusion created by hypocrites, for hypocrites, born from the ashes of past failures. In this state of apparent corruption, he is coerced into joining the Service Club by his futures advisor in the hopes that exposing him to the world will change his personality, and ultimately make him a "better person". He is called "Hikki" affectionally by Yui.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;">(Source: Vistrans, yahari wikia)</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Read more at <a href="http://myanimelist.net/character/67065/Hachiman_Hikigaya#rCbGBZPZjHET3SBd.99" style="color: #003399; text-decoration: none;">http://myanimelist.net/character/67065/Hachiman_Hikigaya#rCbGBZPZjHET3SBd.99</a></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;">Yukino is the leader of the Service Club, of which she is the sole member until Hachiman joins her. She is smart, beautiful, and is nicknamed the "Ice-cold Beauty" for her icy demeanor. She has a twisted sense of "noblesse oblige", and believes that it is the duty of the exceptional (in other words, herself) to help the "lost lambs" of the world. Her personality often leads her to be disgusted at the naivety of others, particularly Yui's, and she does not hesitate to show it. Despite this, Yui still affectionately calls her "Yukinon".</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Read more at <a href="http://myanimelist.net/character/67067/Yukino_Yukinoshita#6DjIW2ytaXAU3SRw.99" style="color: #003399; text-decoration: none;">http://myanimelist.net/character/67067/Yukino_Yukinoshita#6DjIW2ytaXAU3SRw.99</a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;">Yui is a cheerful, outgoing girl who becomes the Service Club's first "customer", asking them to help her bake cookies for "a certain someone". Her problems lie not with her personality, but with her inability to deal with issues by herself. She believes that talent is inborn, and often aspired to be like others until Yukino changed her way of thinking. Following her experience with the Service Club, Yui begins to attend Service Club sessions after school as well, despite Yukino's objections early on.</span><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;" /><br style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px;" /><span style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Read more at <a href="http://myanimelist.net/character/67069/Yui_Yuigahama#pd2wTEoIQCSCWsx6.99" style="color: #003399; text-decoration: none;">http://myanimelist.net/character/67069/Yui_Yuigahama#pd2wTEoIQCSCWsx6.99</a></span><br />

<br />
all in all, i say that this is a good anime and really recommend it especially to teenagers that still looking for their own place in this world with the message GET REAL!<br />
<br />
and oh, i LOVE the quotes in this anime, especially Hachiman's.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07085091091361003667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369622824921742386.post-39766452077494920012014-01-21T05:21:00.001-08:002014-01-21T05:21:25.310-08:00light novel review: toradora<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
toradora! is technically among my favourite romantic comedy anime. and when i started to like something i tend to look for every information available about it, which lead me to the original light novel, Toradora!<br />
as a reader myself, i began searching for the translated version and found it. it was translated and hosted by baka-tsuki, one of the best anime translator. but the download version is in epub so i can read it without epub reader. however it didn't stop me because i saved the source and read it there. i can't go online much lately so i resort to that method, for now.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yfCmrqFWhAA/Ut50EiuM8hI/AAAAAAAABFk/fbiXPwywVPs/s1600/120px-Toradora_vol10_004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yfCmrqFWhAA/Ut50EiuM8hI/AAAAAAAABFk/fbiXPwywVPs/s1600/120px-Toradora_vol10_004.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
now back to the story. all i can say is reading the light novel helps me understand each character, especially Ami (which i don't really understand in anime). the writing was smooth and enjoyable that had me read it continuously for hours.<br />
<br />
the anime pretty much used all the scene in the novel, so it left less room to complain (i am the "the book is better that the movie ' type) all i can say is that the anime really did the light novel justice.<br />
<br />
the ending is slightly different. in the light novel, taiga's family circumstances is explained almost thoroughly yet the separation between taiga and ryuuji was short. in a way, taiga got her almost happy ending. i guess the anime just wanted to make it much more dramatic by lengthening the separation between taiga and ryuuji with no explanation whatsoever on taiga's family circumstances.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dY6PKMbn4pI/Ut50RKv6zZI/AAAAAAAABFs/wt8StuMWUkQ/s1600/81px-Toradora_vol06_008.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-dY6PKMbn4pI/Ut50RKv6zZI/AAAAAAAABFs/wt8StuMWUkQ/s1600/81px-Toradora_vol06_008.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
in all, the light novel really focus on relationship between friends, lovers and family. i love how they stress on the familial relationship in this novel. it wasn't the cliche "parents works far away" setting that anime love to use to explain the absence of parents. this light novel really emphasis on the relationship or the lack thereof between child and parents.<br />
<br />
a total recommendation to those who would mind spending some time reading this. and also for those who watched the anime, please try to take sometime to read it :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07085091091361003667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369622824921742386.post-75936992808403017262013-11-13T05:36:00.001-08:002013-11-13T05:36:07.950-08:00poem: blue sky blue sky<br />
<br />
the vast green sea,<br />
the clear blue sky,<br />
we were there together,<br />
laughing, holding hands,<br />
reaching for our dreams,<br />
<br />
but why do i felt lonely,<br />
even then, i pray,<br />
with your hand in my right hand,<br />
i tried to reach you with my left hand,<br />
<br />
"separation is expected. and if we can't meet again, we can talk on the phone"<br />
<br />
your simple words,<br />
your delicate smile,<br />
my tears fell,<br />
but i smiled,<br />
<br />
under the same blue sky,<br />
we look up and make a promise, (never forget me)<br />
with your hand in my right hand,<br />
and my left hand tried to keep you here forever,<br />
<br />
and when i see you,<br />
through the window pane,<br />
the smoke chokes and the engine roars,<br />
my heart hurt yet i smile,<br />
waving my hand while saying goodbye with a smile is so hard.<br />

<br />
watched this last night and i quite enjoyed it. the mix between, sarcasm, homour and seriousness was well done.<br />
<br />
the plot:<br />
when the devil overlord and his adviser escaped their world into modern japan, what would we expect? a full blown destruction? attempt on taking over the modern world or just two young adult tried to balance their monthly income?<br />
maou sadao and his faithful advisor ashiya shiro escaped the attack on their castle by entering the gate that lead them to the modern day japan. because of lack of magic power, they have the blend in with the society. maou sadao got a job at the Mgronald and their lives as the law abiding citizen begin.<br />
but it get complicated when their enemy who chased after them, Emilia also stuck on modern japan and they both met up by accidents. however, because both can't wield enough magic power, their encaunters just usually ended up with verbal-spats.<br />
matters got worse when one of the devil general Lucifer tried to kill both Maou and Emi. but his attempt failed miserably because the devil overlord got his power back and whack the shit out of him.<br />
lucifer, or later named Urashihara lived with Maou and Ashiya and took the character of a total bum or more likely known as hikikomori.<br />
but then, another person moved next door, a very delicate and traditional Suzuno. but what secret she carries?<br />
although seem like complicated, the anime of a total humour with a little romance on top. it was kinda fresh and the humour and sarcasm was well delivered.<br />
<br />
characters:<br />
maou sadao : the devel overlord who flee his country in a battle and escaped to modern day japan. he works at Mgronald and loves his job.<br />
<br />
ashiya shiro: the overlord advisor and at the same time on of his general. in the modern day tokyo he is the mom of the household. taking care of meals and money.<br />
<br />
yusa emi: original name is Emilia yet change it to fit into the society. she is the hero that was supposed to kill the devil overlord. she works in a call center and live alone but most of the time we can see her at the overlord's home.<br />
<br />
chiho chan: the only high-schooler in the series. being 16 years old, she works as a part-timer in mgronald. she loves Maou sadao and had confessed to him but he just sees her as the co-worker that he need to take care of.<br />
<br />
lucifer/ Urushihara: one of the devil's overlord four generals. he was a fallen-angel-turned-devil and planned to kill both emilia and maou so that he can return to heaven. when his plan failed and he lost most of his magic powers, he live with maou and shiro (after a terrible beating) because they need to hide him from the people who saw him causing the ruckus. he was what would you termed as a total bum that does online shopping and add strain on the household's budget. much to Ashiya's displeasure.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1ELOYa890g/UoHZexpQQiI/AAAAAAAABEw/fcCxoLdO6-g/s1600/Hataraku+Maou-sama+-+05+-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Q1ELOYa890g/UoHZexpQQiI/AAAAAAAABEw/fcCxoLdO6-g/s1600/Hataraku+Maou-sama+-+05+-1.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Suzuno: she moved next door to the maou's. she is very traditional in terms of dressing and speaking and a bit of a freak at first. she always help them with their household and cooking especially when Ashiya was sick. the truth is, Suzuno is Shinigami Christia Bell, that was ordered to kill the devil's Overlord while he was weak. <br />
<br />
art: the art is so-so. it was good but it has nothing that stands out more than other anime. yet the animation of the facial expression of the characters was good.<br />
<br />
music: the music was suitable with the anime but it was not some of my favourite.<br />
<br />
in overall, i really enjoyed this anime. being adult that need to manage my own money i guess i can relate. i like the humour in it. other thing is this is the anime is not perverted and we can say that the fanservice in this anime is little. but comparing boobs with mgronald's burger was quite funny.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07085091091361003667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369622824921742386.post-92157173285782683472013-10-29T20:45:00.004-07:002013-10-29T20:45:47.268-07:00anime review: sakurasou no pet na kanojosakurasou no pet na kanojo is an anime about a bunch of looney people in a looney bin. at least that what Kanda Sorata would say.<br />
<br />
actually this anime is all about self discovery and working hard to reach your goal.<br />
<br />
the plot:<br />
kanda sorata had always wanted to escape the looney bin known as Sakurasou, the home for problem children of Suimei High of Gift Affliated. he was kicked out the regular dorm because he kept a pet. but all his hope was crushed when he was assigned on 'Mashiro Duty', in which he need to feed her, clean her and dress her. to make matter worse, mashiro is not a cat that he tends to pick up. mashiro is a real life, 16 years old girl that was super hot yet super clueless. all her life she only paint that she didn't know to do anything else.<br />
<br />
other than mashiro, there are also few other residents in sakurasou who in kanda sorata's words are alien, ghost, and maharaja.<br />
<br />
the story follows Sorata's attempts to become a game maker at the same time trying to live under the pressure of the talents around him. he was disappointed a few times and blames his lacks of talent.<br />
<br />
this story also revolves around the daily lives of the residents os sakurasou, their mischief and their effort together in making something they like.<br />
<br />
the characters:<br />
kanda sorata- the only sane person in Sakurasou (in his words). Sorata was the kind of boy who didn't know what to do with his life. when he figured out what he wanted to do, he always failed. he lives under the pressure of those talented people around him, especially mashiro, who in his eyes didn't have to work hard and always lucky in anything she does.<br />

<br />
Kamiigusa misaki- the alien of sakurasou. she was gifted in animation and even had an anime that was a huge hit under her belt. she is always full of energy and crazy ideas. she is always in love with her childhood friend to the point of doing inappropriate and crazy things so that he would notice her. <br />

<br />
Shiina Mashiro- the pet of sakurasou. she didn't know to do anything else other that painting hence how the 'mashiro duty' was created. someone always had to wake her up, take her to the bath, choose her clothes for the day, give her food and leave her when she started doing her wor. she is already a popular painter in england before moving to Japan to draw manga. shiina was a bit of a kuudere, and have the craziest one liner.<br />

<br />
Mitaka Jin- the maharaja. he had a bunch of girlfriends and always spend the night with them. ironically he is the one that misaka love. it was later revealed that he too loves misaka but too afraid to lose her. he wanted to keep her at his side, pure forever. he wrote the script for misaka's anime but his scripts was not so good. something that always ticked him off. he wanted to be somebody that can stand next to misaka not just some average person, hence he decided to move to Osaka because the university there had better writing programs.<br />

<br />
akasaka ryuunusuke- the ghost/shut-in. ryuusuke was rarely shown in fact we were only know him in the middle of the series. he laways comunicated via mail with the help of maid-chain, the autoresponder he developed himself. he is a computer programmer and was afraid of women. despite that, he was blunt and honest in his words that it sometimes hurt others. despite being a shut-in, he was shown as someone who was good at dealing with peoples, albeit rarely shown.<br />

<br />
aoyama nanami- the other only sane person in sakurasou. she moved to sakurasou because of the cheaper fare. she wants to be a seiyuu and had worked hard since then. she was the other talent-less person in sakurasou that need to work hard to achieve her goal. nanami secretly has feeling for kanda however always backpedaled when she had a chance to confess. this is because she can see the other person who love Kanda and needs him.<br />

<br />
<br />
the music:<br />
the openinga nd ending song was catchy yet fit the themes perfectly. however it wasn't part of my favourite, maybe because it was more of a pop-song. however there are a few background music that fit perfectly into the scenes.<br />
<br />
the arts:<br />
this anime is about a bunch of kids with special talents in arts, thus there are few art pieces in this that was simply amazing. on the overall view, the art was somewhat what we usually see in anime thus it has nothing special to write home about. don't get me wrong, it was all nice and beautiful yet it was what we always seen, it was kinda boring.<br />

well, lucky star is a comedy anime revolving the lives of four girls Uzumi Konata, Takara Miyuki and the twins Hiiragi Kagami and Hiiragi tsukasa.<br />
it was so funny because it reflects on our everyday life in a much more relaxed manner and we can relate to them.<br />
<br />
the plot:<br />
plot? what plot? there is no actual plot in this anime, just a bunch of randomness. however it seemed to be that it ranged from their second year to third year in high school.<br />
<br />
the setting:<br />
the anime took place in various setting such as their school, homes, workplace (konata), and their town. in general it was based on the city of Kasukabe in Saitama prefecture.<br />
<br />
the characters:<br />
the main characters are those four mentioned above. despite being best friends they are very different from one another.<br />
<br />
Konata: a self proclaimed otaku. she was raised by her father after the death of her mother. she is quite smart in a way but very lazy especially in studies. she is short and underdeveloped, often mistaken as middle schooler. Konata was exposed to manga, game and anime at a very younger age thanks to her father influence. she works part time in a cosplay cafe and cosplays the character Haruhi Suzumiya (which is interesting because konata and haruhi share the same seiyuu, Aya Hirano).<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HEOkoIqVrp0/Um3Ol5a1hTI/AAAAAAAABCc/MYG6Q4peGqI/s1600/dont+sleep+in+class.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HEOkoIqVrp0/Um3Ol5a1hTI/AAAAAAAABCc/MYG6Q4peGqI/s320/dont+sleep+in+class.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Kagami: she is the older twin of the Hiiragi twins. she is in a different class from the others yet always seemed to be in tier class. kagami is smart and level headed. she was quick thinker and love to read light novel. it was obvious from the anime that she was the total opposite of Konata. in a demanding situation, she can acts as a leader, showing her good leadership side. konata always teased her for being lonely, which shows how Konata can see past her appearance.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJhRj-YBIQg/Um3OZ2SHKpI/AAAAAAAABCE/jbriLo_JW8E/s1600/Picture13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-mJhRj-YBIQg/Um3OZ2SHKpI/AAAAAAAABCE/jbriLo_JW8E/s320/Picture13.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
miyuki: miyuki was full of moe. she is like the walking talking encyclopedia in the group. she is so polite yet clumsy, a trait that added to her moeness. often become the target of Konata sexual pranks, yet she is clueless about it.<br />
<br />
tsukasa: kagami's twin sister. tsukasa was totally different from kagami. she is quite slow academically yet very good at house chores. even if she was quite slow, tsukasa was shown to works diligently on her studies (but what she understands is all wrong). tsukasa was also a bit of an airhead always lost the conversation between kagami and Konata.<br />
<br />
there are also lots of others characters that were introduced throughout the anime but these four is the main characters so i'll just review them.<br />
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kq9lB9fvJA/Um3O8ThxFwI/AAAAAAAABCk/Ez5yU3lBDIY/s1600/Picture3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-4kq9lB9fvJA/Um3O8ThxFwI/AAAAAAAABCk/Ez5yU3lBDIY/s320/Picture3.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
the art:<br />
i called this kinda art as the lazy animator art. they didn't focus too much on the detail. despite that, it makes the anime looks much more relaxed, which fits the anime perfectly.<br />
<br />
opening/ending song:<br />
the opening song is the catchy Motteke sera fuku. honestly i like is so much that i never skip it, unlike other animes. but the ending theme was a different story. at first it was of the girls singing in a karaoke room which only the door on dislpay, later we will see a live action of minoru shiraishi singing all bunch of songs in an off pitch version with funny dance moves and all. it was so funny and at the same time pathetic.<br />

i watched this anime last night and to be honest i was totally disappointed. sharing the same director with AnoHAna and Toradora, i had high expectation for this anime, but i found it quite bland. to be honest, i watched this because i need a little feels. but throughout the anime i didn't had any feels ride. no. none. nada. empty. zero.<br />
<br />
but i can't base this anime just because it didn't make me cry. here are some reviews of it:<br />
<br />
the plot:<br />
the plot what somewhat quite similar to most romance anime lately. a girl in a spacecraft crashed on earth and ended up living with the male protagonist? this was done multiple times that it was quite expected. however this time it is not the usual harem in which all the girls want that one boy, which make it much more bearable. it all began when the Kirishima Kaito decide to make a movie. with the help of his friends (Tetsurou, Mio, Ichika and Kanna) and a scheming-chibi senior. here the plot started to revolve around those characters and slowly each and every characters' secrets and feelings were revealed. however in the romantic department between Ichika and kaito was quite rushed (confessing at second episode?) but it was smoothed down on the later episodes.<br />
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OPRV1ZWeI5M/UmurL2vP_WI/AAAAAAAABBk/bm1Hwn0QoNo/s1600/i+love+u.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OPRV1ZWeI5M/UmurL2vP_WI/AAAAAAAABBk/bm1Hwn0QoNo/s320/i+love+u.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
the setting:<br />
natsu yasumi (summer holidays). usually, the summer holidays scene was added purely for the sake of fanservice but this anime use the whole summer holidays as setting thus escape the usually new-school-term anime stereotypes. because of the summer setting, we can see the characters wear and use different kind of clothes so it was much more colourful.<br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oIfuwIvff3k/Umu1mzrLqyI/AAAAAAAABB0/RnvxfdsKInM/s1600/headquarters.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oIfuwIvff3k/Umu1mzrLqyI/AAAAAAAABB0/RnvxfdsKInM/s320/headquarters.png" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
the characters:<br />
the characters were developed quite nicely. however, it was obvious who had a crush on who even in the first episode. and it ticked me off because out of all the possible couples, only one make it official.<br />

<br />
the art:<br />
thanks to the summer holidays setting, the art of this anime was colourful and bright. however, JC Staff was one of the best animator so it was quite expected. in short, the art was nice and managed to really brings out the mood.<br />
<br />
music:<br />
the opening and ending of the anime was okay but i really wanted to complaint about the background music on the emotional scenes. it was just not there. i believe sometimes we cried at some scenes because of the background music but in this anime the background music failed quite badly.<br />

<br />
all in all, it was indeed a good anime. i am just pissed because it failed to make me cry. maybe i need find the mood and watch it again. maybe i need to really understand the whole if-i'm-gone-we-will-never-meet-again and i-live-in-the-other-galaxy ideas to get the feels.<br />
highly recommend this to those who into romance anime<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
mahou shoujo means magical girl in japanesse. and there are lots of mahou shoujo anime out there such as Sailormoon, wedding peach, magical girl lyrical nanoha and so on. all focusing on cute/kawaii, super nice girl fighting evil using their magical powers and win each time. so what is the difference between Madoka Magica and other mahou shoujo anime?<div>
well, let me put it in order according to my opinion</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
plot:</div>
<div>
at the earlier episode we were introduced to madoka and her simple life, friends and family and a new transfer student, Akemi Homura. later she and her friend, Miki sayaka rescued Kyubey and he offers he to become magical girl by a contract. sound simple right? but no. in the later episodes, the harsh reality of being a magical girl is revealed. the life and death and the deeper meaning of the contract. you see to become a magical girl, you need to form a contract with Kyubey and in exchage he will grant any wish the girl wanted. here we will understand that magical girl did not fight to fight witches but they really are fighting for their wishes. even if the wish somewhat come true but they have to pay dearly for it so that the balance of the world is maintained. deeper into the story, you will figure out Homura's intention on killing Kyubey and stopping Madoka from performing the contract with him.</div>
<div>
the plot was very intense and have you hooked to it to the very end. and even the ending leave you wish for more.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the art</div>
<div>
in anime, the art is what make it distinctive. in madoka magica, at first i thought it used what i called as lazy-animator-style. if was kinda thing that you see in Shin Chan and Lucky Star. even so, it was properly done with the futuristic elements (the world the creator imagine in ten years to come).</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0MG479BJBcQ/UmkxsE_VZXI/AAAAAAAAA_w/PJ7Lljni2sU/s1600/normal+scene.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0MG479BJBcQ/UmkxsE_VZXI/AAAAAAAAA_w/PJ7Lljni2sU/s320/normal+scene.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div>
but the animator sure blows my mind away during the fighting scene. usually the magical girl will fight the witch in the barrier of labyrinth the witch created. here the art was simply stunning. it was something you would see in an art museum. it really added the chilling effect and also making the whole scene different that usual fighting scenes in anime. </div>

the setting<div>
the time setting was set to be a few years in the future. there are lots of futuristic devices in this anime yet when we look at it we didn't feel awkward, meaning that the creator managed to add the futuristic devices without making it feel like we were watching Sci-fi anime. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the characters:</div>
<div>
in my opinion, the characters were developed wonderfully. we were introduced from one character to another. the character development goes in sync with the plot so well that as long as we understand the plot, we will understand the character and vice-versa.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the ending:</div>
<div>
the ending of this anime is somewhat unexpected. it left we with tears in my eyes. it was a beautiful yet tragic ending. it was totally different from any normal mahou shoujo anime i have ever watched. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
overall:</div>
<div>
mahou shoujo madoka magica really blew my mind away. i put it on a hold for so many time and when i started watching it i seemed to be cannot stop. it was a much see for anyone who wanted to have a fresh view on anime.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

elfen lied (meaning elf song in germany)<br />
<br />
"we capture them, experimented with them them kill them and they are the monster?"<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
the anime begin with a bloodbath of a girl, escaping from the institution that held her captive. a sniper tried to kill her by shooting straight to the back of her head but missed and the girl fell into the sea.<br />
in another part of the town, two cousins found a clueless girl who incapable of speech except for "nyu". they took her in out of pity and a sense of humanity. and that was when all the weird thing started happening and "nyu" was the center of it. what is the goverment are hiding. who are those people that start showing up at their doorstep and what is a forgotten past that seemed to slowly resurfaced?<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
elfen lied focus more on the mistreating of the beings that was different from normal humankind. a diclonoids, born with two horns and telekinetic ability were considered bloodthirsty monsters and should be eliminated. it was no different from real life where we tend to judge those who are different from us.<br />
<br />
were the diclonoids really a bloodthirsty murderer or the 'normal' human treatment that make them snap? that is what the creator was trying to imply in the anime. other than that the anime also focus on child abuse and psychological trauma that ones may suffer after a shocking incident.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdveqZ0CYjk/UmOtIGX-PWI/AAAAAAAAA-s/Cc10LEggzLI/s1600/elfen_lied-764336.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HdveqZ0CYjk/UmOtIGX-PWI/AAAAAAAAA-s/Cc10LEggzLI/s320/elfen_lied-764336.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
the art is so beautiful and it fit the anime perfectly. the opening song especially add a sense of chill towards its listener and the ending song seemed to soothe down the shock we experience throughout the anime. the plot and story-line was easier to understand with not too much character, giving us the understand the situation more. the difference between Nyu and Lucy give us a chance to expect what would happen (and to tell the truth, my heart always beating fast when i saw Lucy)<br />
<br />
i recommend this anime to those who like gore anime because gore is the largest portion of the anime with a little mix of romance, social situation and action.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07085091091361003667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369622824921742386.post-51697276762808355782013-10-08T22:17:00.001-07:002013-10-08T22:17:18.631-07:00anime review: toradora <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</tbody></table>
toradora is a cute romantic comedy anime. the story revolves around aisaka taiga and takasu syuuji who live next to each other.<br />
<br />
ryuuji, despite his appearance like a yankee is actually is a soft hearted boy who loves cooking and cleaning. he has a crush on a classmate called minori. taiga on the other hand, live alone after the fall out with her parents. a certain love letter accident brought them together where ryuuji promise to help taiga confess to her crush, kitamura. however, it kitamura rejected taiga so but taiga hold out to her promise and help ryuuji confess to minorin even by that time she has feelings for ryuuji, despite her attempt to hide it.<br />
<br />
minorin was well aware of taiga's feeling for ryuuji and even though she also like ryuuji, she rejected him even before he had a chance to confess. in her (minorin) words, "i can grab my own happiness but if ryuuji leave taiga now, she'll lose all hope in life". this refer to taiga's dependent on ryuuji in her life such as preparing food and cleaning. ryuuji also give taiga a little feeling belonging and family, the feeling that taiga's had long lost due to her conflict with her family.<br />

the clashing of character between ryuuji (soft-hearted kind boy) and taiga (brutal mini tiger/tsundere) is so hilarious. it was kind of a refreshing anime where in here viewer can relate to their life. the plot was also well written and it was hard not to root for taiga. other than ryuuji and taiga's relationship, there is also a dash of school-life added to it making it much more cuter yet balanced between love and life. i highly recommend this for those who love romantic comedy.<br />

TORA DORA<br />
is a combination of both ryuuji and taiga's name<br />
tora means tiger in Japanese and it refers to taiga's nick name "palmtop tiger/ palmtop taiga" and dora is the first two syllable of japanese way of saying dragon (doragon) which is ryuuji's name (ryu=dragon)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07085091091361003667noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2369622824921742386.post-68918652618248695622013-10-05T18:09:00.001-07:002013-10-05T18:09:22.533-07:00anime review: another<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

it was so good that i feel bad if i give a spoiler away.<br />
if you're a fan of mystery thriller, i guess this one is for you.<br />
and i love it. i think it has great story-line but i do think the end was a bit rushed. the minor characters were also underdeveloped but i guess that adds to the mystery of it all.<br />
i really recommend this to those who love horror/mystery/thriller genre. and even if you are a fan of gore, there are lots of blood splashing and bone cracking scene in this.<br />

What i can say about sword art online is it is different yet
the same. It was different because it involves real life (reality) as the
setting but also forged the virtual world of Nervegear, where there are magic,
sword fights and all the things usually in fantasy genre. It lead me to the
question, what is the genre? Fiction or fantasy? Or both.</div>

On November 6, 2022, all the players log in for the first
time, and subsequently discover that they are unable to log out. They are then
informed by Kayaba Akihiko, the creator of SAO, that if they wish to be free,
they must reach the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss.
However, if their avatars die in-game, their bodies will also die in the real
world. The story follows Kirito, a skilled player who is determined to beat the
game. As the game progresses for two years, Kirito eventually befriends a
female player named Asuna with whom he ultimately falls in love. After the duo
discover the identity of Kayaba's avatar in SAO, they confront and defeat him,
freeing themselves and the other players from the game.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon returning to the real world, Kirito learns that Asuna
and 300 other SAO players have still not awakened yet. Following a clue about
Asuna's whereabouts in another VRMMORPG called Alfheim Online (ALO), Kirito
also logs in there. Helped by his sister Suguha, he learns that the trapped
players in ALO are part of a plan devised by Nobuyuki Sugō to perform illegal
experiments on their minds to put them under his control, including Asuna, whom
he intends to marry in the real world in order to take over her family's
company. After Kirito stops Nobuyuki's plans, he finally reunites with Asuna in
the real world.</div>

I find the storyline is amazing. It was easy to understand
yet got me hooked up on it. The adventure was something predictable in action
anime yet the romance is bit different. I mean the progress rather quickly, an
unusual trait in other anime. However, the bond that they have with each other
and others characters was so heart-warming. </div>

I definitely suggested this anime. It goes to either gender
boys or girls. There is a perfect balance of action and romance in it. </div>

<br />
okay now imagine a highschool... and in this so called highschool there was an organization whose main objectives is to go against all the normal regulation of school. because if you did, you'll disappear. and their enemy is the angel (tenshi) who is in truth the student council president.<br />

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Upon waking up, the first thing Otonashi sees aside of this beautiful night sky is Yuri, who is aiming at a girl they call Tenshi (Angel) with a big automatic gun. He has no recollection of who he is or how he got there. The world he finds himself in does not reach further than the school grounds and is inhabited by 3 kinds of people: First NPCs, who are soulless students and only appear to have normal behaviour; second the students, who teamed up to build the Afterlife Battlefront led by Yuri; and third Tenshi, who they are desperately fighting against. After Otonashi joins up with the Afterlife Battlefront he learns that in this world no one seems to age or die and that this world seems to be some kind of afterlife limbo. Everyone has deep regrets about their previous lives they don’t really want to talk about, projecting their hate and bitterness onto God and Thenshi. Yet, Otonashi is the only one who still doesn’t remember anything. Unlike the other members of the Afterlife Battlefront, he asks questions and does not simply drown his regrets in an everlasting battle against this mysterious Tenshi girl, dulling their pain and forgetting that the one they really hate are they themselves and their helplessness.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #333333;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Angel Beats is an original story and arguably one of the best and most successful anime of 2010. What seems like a weird scenario at first, quickly turns into an emotional roller-coaster as you learn about the tragic pasts of the main characters. These authentic depictions of the problems and hardships of contemporary teenagers let the viewer relate to them on a level very few other anime can compete with. In between there is a lot of humor and mystery, which fits in just perfectly. Music, opening and ending are equally as beautiful rounding up an already perfect anime. Many complain that 13 episodes are not enough and wish for more episodes, while I think it is just fine the way it ended. It’s one of those shows able to move viewers to tears and will not disappoint.

coraline... hmmm. what can i make out of this movie. honestly i think this is like the mix of tim burton and alice in wonderland.<br />
unless in wonderland alice got the red queen but coraline got a beldam (whatever that is).<br />
i think this is like a fresh take that the usual movies. but at the first half it was quite boring, the storyline was rather slow then, but it gets better.<br />
well i really suggest this to anyone who want a little something different.<br />
