Kimi ga Nozomu Eien

You know, Jasmine is going to really, really hate this post! Well, maybe not. I'm just talking about it, mostly because I finished this anime today. Haha, I don't know if I really like this anime much, I just know I really do not like Takayuki, playing with two girls' hearts like that! Even one that got hit by a car because he was late for her. Horrible really, the whole anime is pretty depressing and dramatic. I can understand why Jasmine hates it so much. The whole anime is filled with romance and sex! Though the sex scenes aren't explicit at all, well maybe one but they don't show too much. Anywho, the only two characters I really do like, are probably the two Suzumiya sisters, Haruka and Akane. Haruka mostly because she's the only one that doesn't do anything wrong, and Akane because she seems like the only one who really cares about Haruka. You've got to admit the art is beautiful though! However, you won't see me getting the game just for the art... I don't think I'd be interested in eroge. >__>

This anime is about betrayal a bit though! Okay, not a bit... Almost all of it is, and the guilt about their relationships and what they do. Friends and relationships crap, bad choices and whatnot. Translated, Kimi ga Nozomu Eien means "The Eternity You Desire" how that fits about the story, I'm not so sure. Maybe it's because they all wish they could go back to the way things were before Haruka's accident. Of course, since this was based off a video game with many different paths to it, the anime had to follow it's own path! Though it kind of went with Mitsuki's, it did combine the other paths according to Wiki. I know, I have no life if I look up anime and read about them on Wiki, but I'm bored! So don't blame me too much.

Overall, I'm not sure what I thought about this anime. I honestly can't say I hate it like Jasmine does, there are some things about it that makes me interested... Although, it's not great to me like Haruhi or Lucky Star was. The plot is very romance driven, not into that too much. There is a lot of character development though, but I don't know if it's good development or not. Jasmine was right about the characters making idiotic choices a lot though. Takayuki got on my nerves because he chose Mitsuki over Haruka, even though they made a promise and that went down the drain because of the accident. Mitsuki was a bit greedy with her needs as well, but I can sympathize with her somewhat, she just loves Takayuki, though I found myself asking often, what do these girls see in Takayuki that make them like him so much? *shrug* Oh well. I should delete the anime out of my computer though, doubt I will ever watch it again... Oh, and I still think Haruka looks like Sakura. Though that changes in the three years after her accident, so she has long hair instead of really short hair. Gotta give credit to the seiyuu though, they did a good job of depicting the characters.

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. :]
