Lucky Star

Haha, I've been watching a lot of different anime lately, I just recently got three new anime series, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien, Gunslinger Girl, and Lucky Star. Out of the three, Lucky Star is my favorite right now, if you couldn't tell. Haha. Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a bit depressing, it doesn't seem like most of my friends like it anyway. Gunslinger Girl, I have yet to get past episode one! I should soon though, but I'm pretty absorbed in Lucky Star. It references to Suzumiya Haruhi a lot! Haha, I heard Hare Hare Yukai like twice already. It's really fun and random! I love it. Plus the main character is an anime and video game freak! Haha, it's so awesome, if I could understand Japanese, I would probably be like, I know exactly what she's saying, most of the time. Haha, but I can understand her when they subtitled her like that anyway. Kona-chan, as she is called by her friends is plain awesome. Haha, I loved it when they put up the MMORPG chat, it was hilarious. ROFLSkATESBBQ~1 Anywho, the video I put up is the opening for the anime.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a romance story depicting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder which is based off a Virtual Novel video game. It's very dramatic and tragic and according to Jasmine Ngo, makes you "hate all the characters." It's probably because the anime has backstabber best friends and stuff, but I'm watching it because I downloaded it, I don't want to waste my 2 days of downloading for nothing. Lol. Anyway, the names are very reminescent of other anime! Haruka and Akane are sisters in it, and both names appear in Mai-HiME and Mai-Otome. Their last name Suzimiya, of course reminds me of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi! Plus, Suzumiya Haruhi and Suzumiya Haruka are both very similar names, but I suppose that doesn't really matter. Just pointing it out really. Haruka has the same seiyuu as Erstin Ho in Mai-Otome though! That was probably one of my only incentives to watch it, besides me having the opening songs which are also sung by the same seiyuu, Kuribayashi Minami. Also, is it just me, or does Haruka look strikingly similar to Kinomoto Sakura of CCS? :o I thought Yoshida Kazumi looked similar to Sakura as well... Coincidence? Maybe. :o

Don't know much about Gunslinger girl so far, except it's about a bunch of little girl assassins that were abandoned or something and have gone through some enhancements and trained to kill. Jasmine, one of my anime referencers and buddies, said that it was a very good anime, so I'm going to keep watching it. Haha, besides, it would be a waste to download and never watch. Henrietta seems pretty awesome though. Darn me though, watching too many girl anime! I should pull out Kiba which Dennis gave me a few weeks earlier, and start watching One Piece again. Anywho, if anyone has any suggestions for watching anime. Tell me pl0x! I'm bored in the summer, and have nothing better to do. Oh, and I'm going to use this post to set up some labels that I will probably talk about in the future! For future reference and stuff. Since I mentioned so much anime that I haven't talked about yet and love oh so dearly. :]
