Everyone Needs to Buy Sakura Wars

So yeah, it's been a while since I've blogged here. BUT, since I seem to be getting semi-decent amounts of visitors every day I thought I might as well post here. Yes, this blog is TECHNICALLY dead, but I'd like to share something with everyone to visits this even if it's completely random strangers that only visit for like 1 second and then leave as they found my blog through Google or something.

Anywho, everyone needs to go buy Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love. Right now. Okay, you don't HAVE to, but seriously, it's like one of the best games I've played all year, and it got me obsessed with the whole freakin series. Sure, you probably won't get as obsessed as me, but one game of the series getting me so into it that I start buying artbooks, merchandise, and immersing myself in it's music and art, is quite an impressive feat. I've even started planning to buy a Japanese PS2 for the remakes of the first and third games. I'm that obsessed. But yeah, if you like Visual Novels, if you like anime, if you're familiar with the series through the anime, if you like Strategy RPGs, please please please get this! More people that buy it, the more chances there are of it actually coming out here!

Come on! The girls are cute, the story is great fun although a tad idealistic, but it's great! I love it! Awesomeness! But yes. DO IT DO IT DO IT. If you have money of course.

That is all.

Watashi, MAKENAI!

Currently addicted to this Pokemon (Yes, Pokemon) ending song sung by KAORI, who is Haruka's (May) seiyuu! It's an upbeat and cute song, and I really like it for some reason! KAORI awesome sang Tears Infection, the opening of Myself; Yourself. She's pretty talented! The above video is the ending from the anime itself, below would be the full song.

Metafalica

Yes, I have finally achieved Metafalica... Last week. I finally was able to beat Ar tonelico II last weekend. I'm currently on Spring Break this week which is why I was able to. I need to go back and get all 100 I.P.D.s to join Chroche's fanclub though. The ending was spectacular! It makes me wonder how good Luca, Jakuri, and Cocona's endings are... Although the last parts of  it will be the same. The only difference would be the scene with said girl and Chroah (A lovey-dovey scene. XD) That said, despite all the localization mishaps, I really enjoyed the game. Although the game did freeze on me randomly at least 5 times... Mostly during I.P.D. fights, but once while I was looking through Chroche-sama's costumes... I know I'll be going back to play through Ar tonelico II again eventually, because it really is an awesome game with lovable characters and a great story.

Also, I finally finished Clannad ~After Story~ yesterday. Very very very sad story. I cried several times. The ending was super though! Miracles can happen if you try apparently. (Well, at least in Key produced stuffs) Everyone was happy in the end, although there was a lot of hardship to be had for that to happen. Even though, the last few episodes now seem meaningless... But anywho, Ushio = absolutely adorable. Watch the anime if you can, I think the second season was a lot more depressing and serious than the first season. I'm not sure which one I could consider better, but they're continuations of each other, so I'm not sure if we can compare...

Also, I need to find a way to get a PS3 soon... Lots of Cross Edge news has been coming out as of late... And I just really really want to play that game. Hopefully NISA won't screw it up like they did with Ar tonelico II... And yes, the costume above is Misha is Chroche-sama's costume. Which was a big surprise for me when I first got a look at it thanks to raymk-san from A Reyvateil's Melody.

Well, that's all I could think of writing for today, got to do some house chores...

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu

While I'm vigorously working on Persona 3: FES, I realized I NEVER posted about this wonderful anime that I really really really really liked. D:

Beware of slight spoilers... (Although not too too major...)

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is one of the cutest anime EVER! I love it because of what Haruka's secret actually is... I didn't realize being an otaku was so... Rejected! Well, it probably is here in the United States, but I didn't know that it was in Japan... Well maybe in the upper-class which is exactly what Haruka is! But yeah, Haruka is awesome! It's one of the most sweetest love stories I've ever experienced after Lovely Complex. I won't give it a complete review right now though, it's not fresh enough in my mind. Although the last arc was kind of disappointing, it seems like they gave Yuuto a stupid conflict to deal with, because well... Haruka would have obviously loved whatever he gave her... ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WAS CLUMSY AKI-CHAN! D:

Noto Mamiko does an awesome Haruka~ I've never seen her voice a rich girl quite yet~ Much less an otaku! The story is so cute too... I couldn't believe how well Yuuto and Haruka went together. Shiina (the other woman) didn't even really get into the way of Haruka and Yuuto's relationship all that much! (Except for one major plot point...) Haruka's maid and imouto are a lot of fun as well~ Also, CLUMSY AKI-CHAN FTW!

But yeah... I liked it overall, the main character wasn't an absolute idiot (until the ending at least), and the heroine was super cute and awesome. I advise romantic-comedy anime fans to watch this. :D

On a random note: I have Tales of Hearts. :D

Sanae = Philia? D:

Okay... This might be complete and utter nonsense to some of you... But watching Clannad ~After Story~ Episode 2 and seeing Sanae dressed up like that made me think... Wow. She looks very very very similar to Philia! D:

Considering Sanae is only TEMPORARILY dressed up like this... The fact that she looks just like Philia is kind of amusing! Of course, this is probably purely coincidental... But the even more ironic thing is that Philia and Sanae are both seiyuued by the same seiyuu, Inoue Kikuko! Which makes me laugh... I'm not sure if she was ever dressed like this in the actual Visual Novel of Clannad, but if she was, I would probably jump for joy at the unintentional (or is it?) reference to Philia Phillis of Tales of Destiny fame.

Of course, this probably doesn't mean much to most people, because a lot of anime/video game characters have similar appearances in some way... But it just seems bit coincidental to me! I mean, they have the same seiyuu, and Sanae randomly decided two wear her hair in two braided pigtails and glasses as a disguise... Just turn her hair green and make her wear priestess garb, and she might really be Philia. :3

On the subject of Tales... The Tales of the Abyss anime is REALLY REALLY good so far. I loves it. They made Mieu even more adorable than in the game... And Ion is awesome! Although I miss Otani Ikue as his voice. (Even though I never really heard her voice Ion all that much...) But Pikachu and Chopper's voice on Ion would have been great. :D

I'm also doing a lot better in my Japanese class than I expected! It's quite interesting... Considering some of the students of actual Japanese-descent seem to need more help than I do... I shouldn't say things like that though. It's just plain mean of me. I'll do my best to help them out though! :3


Random 'shop of the day. Made it yesterday. Marie from Atelier Marie using her Cross Edge Art. Speaking of Cross Edge, yesterday I edited Wikipedia and added all the Seiyuu of the Playable characters for Mana-Khemia 2! Yes, it was I that found them all and put them in the English wikipedia! Of course, I have to thank Lazy for finding the Japanese Wikipedia for Mana-Khemia 2... I also found the seiyuu for Marie through that Wiki, it's quite fascinating.

Oh yeah... I just remembered my summer goal... It was an utter failure. I didn't beat as many games as I possibly could have...

Super Metroid
Eternal Sonata
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
Tales of the Abyss
Tales of Vesperia
Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift

That's it... I got really close to beating Metroid Prime... But stopped at like near the end... Like I usually do with some games... x__x

Oh well! I'll probably get to beat a few games over the school year... Although I don't think I'll be able to beat that many... End post.

Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha

Alright, it's 2 AM in the morning, and I JUST finished watching the second season of Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha... And I have to say... That THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST MAHOU SHOUJO ANIME EVER! I mean, wow. It is much more deeper than your typical mahou shoujo anime... I don't even know how to explain how it is deeper! Of course... One difference is that Nanoha beats up her enemies until they become her friends, but she's kind of cool like that. My favorite character has to be Fate Testarossa though. She's great~ With her lightning magic and dark past... Her devotion as a mage... Her character was awesome, and I grew to like her quite a bit, even when she was facing off against Nanoha!

Well, I'm sleepy... So off to bed for me. I recommend this anime for ANY action fans! Sure it might start out as a typical magical girl anime, but trust me... It will change in like the 4th episode once Fate shows up. :D

Yes, I did change the layout to white now... I was getting tired of the dark layout. Besides, I think white suits me more than black! Not sure about "DEN" but meh. :D

Tales of the Abyss Being Animated?

Yes, Tales of the Abyss is going to be an anime series airing this October. I don't know which day. I am guessing its going to have 24 episodes or 26? Excited? I'll update more on this later when the summer 2008 animes are about to end which is in the end of September including the animes that I find interesting thats airing in Fall.

BON BON!

*Ahem* So I recently finished watching three anime surprisingly! The first one was School Rumble's second season! Seeing as how the first OVA for Sangakki comes out today, I'm hoping it gets subbed first so I can continue watching the awesomeness that is School Rumble! Tenma and Yakumo are awesome. :P

The next anime I finished was Lovely Complex, which was a really sweet romantic comedy that I actually enjoyed! The main character of Koizumi Risa's seiyuu is of One Piece fame! Nami's voice actress of Okamura Akemi! She also plays Sheena in Tales of Symphonia! Anywho, Risa's character and Nami's character are very very similar in terms of appearance and personality actually, it's quite surprising. The fact that they have the same voice doesn't really help with that situation. Haha, I ended up calling Risa, "Nami" for quite a while, until I started to get into this 24-episode anime more. The main story is mostly about, as my cousin had posted before, a tall girl falling in love with a boy shorter than him! it's actually adorable how the whole plot plays out, although Risa does cry a LOT! Practically every episode. Poor thing, falling in love with someone as dense as Otani. xD One thing I like about this anime though, is that it IS funny! Romantic comedy, rather than those depressing ones I've been watching. Actually School Rumble kind of counts as romantic comedy too, but it leans more towards the comedy side, while Lovely Complex leans more towards the romantic side. I recommend this anime to anyone who happens across it! Jasypants says that the live-action version of it is pretty good as well, so maybe people should check that out too, although I'm not sure if I will, maybe someday. Title of this post is a reference to one of Lovely Complex's ending songs by the way. :P

The last anime that I finally finished yesterday is none-other than Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru! The main plot is that of which a boy goes to an all-girl's school. He obviously has to dress up and BE a girl while staying over there. Of course, he does not go there because he WANTS to, it's his grandfather's death wish for Mizuho to go to the private academy that his mother attended. His mother was one very dear to Mizuho and his family, and he ends up doing a lot of the things his mother did back when she went to the school. It is pretty interesting how he ends up acting like a girl so naturally, of course, he is kind of feminine to start with. :P Translated, the title pretty much means, all of the maidens are falling in love with the Elder onee-sama. Which is what Mizuho ends up becoming early in the story. The Elder of the school is kind of like... The representative of the school, although not necessarily student council, she usually is admired and adored by all the other girls of the school, defined as the most beautiful and elegant student there. I actually do like a lot of the characters within the anime. Shion-san and Takako-san are both a couple of characters I grew rather fond of as I was watching this anime. It's quite interesting how this anime was displayed at one of the yaoi exhibits at Anime Expo though, considering the story is technically about girls falling in love with a guy, although they do not know that he's a guy at the time. Well, except Mariya. xD If anything, this shouldn't even be considered shoujou-ai, as Mizuho is really a guy anyway! My cousin pretty much wants nothing to do with this anime, which is sorta understandable... Although he shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. The anime isn't bad at all. It's rather light-hearted and funny at times. I enjoyed watching it! :D

Surprisingly, over the past couple weeks, I've also finally beat another game! Final Fantasy Tactics A2: Grimoire of the Rift. I actually REALLY liked it! Although the characters of the story won't beat the first game's, I did actually enjoy a lot of the characters. Especially Adelle, she's a cool character. Frimelda as well, she's just great! Hurdy is fun too~ I'm not sure if I enjoyed this game more than the first FFTA, although I know I enjoyed it as I couldn't stop playing it for over seven days straight. Overall, I did really like this game. Although some of the laws were frustrating, it was fun in the end. In fact, I still have to finish about 30 quests to fully complete the game. I do also want to train my Vaan, Penelo, and Montblanc up, as well as my Frimelda a bit more... My Adelle, Hurdy, Luso, and Cid are already quite great. Well, so far, I've completed two games over the course of the summer. I still technically have two months left of my summer, so hopefully I can beat a lot more.

I've been playing Metroid Prime more recently. A lot of my files had gotten corruped last summer, so I have to rebeat quite a number of games! Mostly just Fire Emblem 9, Metroid Prime, and Tales of Symphonia though. I already beat FE9, and I'm almost done with Metroid Prime I think... I just got the Plasma Beam, so I must be kind of closer! Anywho, I'm also currently on a quest to get an Xbox 360. With the advent of news that came with E3 from Square-Enix of Final Fantasy XIII going to the 360, I ultimately decided that I need a 360 now. Tales of Vesperia is coming out next month, and Soul Calibur IV is coming out NEXT WEEK! Oh whatever am I going to do? I don't nearly have enough money for a 360... At least it recently got a price drop! Down to $300 dollars now, according to one of my friends that works at Gamestop. With the 360, I'll finally be able to play Eternal Sonata too, another game by Namco. They actually did something right in that game by putting in the Japanese voices too, which is great! Hopefully that means they added the Japanese voices to Tales of Vesperia. :D I guess that's enough ranting now though, so byeeee~

Summer Boredom: NARUTO

So, yeah. I've got nothing to do right now... Pretty boring. I know I made one of my goals this summer to beat as many games as possible in my free time, but I guess I have no motivation to do so. No wonder I never really beat any games unless I really like them. Umm, so yeah. Nothing to do, just another boring day! Although there are plenty of things I could be doing... Watching anime and finishing School Rumble up. Yup that's one. Oh and beating all the games that I have yet to beat. So yeah, Den gave me the idea of blogging about Naruto. So I think I'm going to do that!

*ahem* Naruto was one of the first anime that I have every got into! I was introduced to it by my friends actually, but my cousin is the one that really got me into it. He was able to find all the episodes for me to watch, and I did just that! I actually really liked Naruto at the time! I felt like Naruto was someone like me, who wanted to be accepted into society, and I grew rather fond of the character himself. Also, the Haku story arc was what really drew me in, just because Haku was just super awesome. The Chuunin Exam did keep things interesting actually, but it did last for QUITE a long while, and I was wondering when it was going to end. I mean, they had the Written Exam, the Forest of Death, and then the tournament! The tournament which, obviously lasted quite a while as they had to depict fight after fight. The anime did a pretty good job with it though, even adding the Tenten vs. Temari fight, which was over too quickly to even notice in the manga.

Anywho, I really felt my interest in the series waning significantly once Sasuke actually did something dumb and went to join Orochimaru. Sasuke is a character I have never liked throughout the series, he just always irritated me with his emoness. Ugh, I always even liked Sakura better than Sasuke! Although a lot of people disagree with me here, but that's for you guys to argue with me about, because I frankly just don't care for Sasuke. Anywho, I was interested after the Time Jump and followed it in the manga until after the whole Rescue Gaara arc, which wasn't too too bad, it actually gave Sakura some growth as a character, which was great. But in the end, it would be mostly focused on Naruto of course, I just find it odd how they have so many characters, yet only so few are so important. One Piece does a good job with distributing character's time in it's koma pages, as everyone in the crew has their own thing. Anywho, I honestly think that Naruto is overrated now, and I haven't been following the series for a long while, but I'm led to believe that it is currently going downhill.

Oh, and I also recently heard from my cousin that Sasuke actually DOES get his revenge against Itachi! Great, now Elizabeth is going to be super devastated, oh well. Hinata needs more koma time IMO, she's an awesome character. ~end rant~

Scramble

So, I'm currently addicted to the first opening of School Rumble! I don't even know why, it's so cute and happy! It cheers me up and I love Horie Yui, she's awesome. She's the voice actress of Eri in School Rumble, who is one of my favorite characters in the series! I should finish watching the second season actually... Hmm. I was meaning to blog about how much I like School Rumble before, but I've been lazy and dealing with school. However, I'm officially in summer vacation now and am in a very very good mood right now! ~Gurugu Mawaru~

I know San-chan is tired of these, and I'm sorry for that. Okay, not really, but I made an avatar of Aurica from Ar tonelico! Hooray.

Nagasarete Airantou and Fruits Basket

So, during my soon-to-be-over Spring Break (*sobs*) I finished two anime, which is rather surprising, because of the fact that I thought Brawl was going to occupy the majority of my time. Well, Nagasarete Airantou, I started like weeks and weeks ago. I never got to finish it when I intended to because of some... "Interruptions." Anywho, Nagasarete Airantou was pretty awesome. I really liked it, the comedy is pretty good and the serious issues were good too. Suzu is awesome and Machi is hilarious and Ayame is usually just there. Ikuto is kind of a pervert though, although he should have died from all those nosebleeds he had from the whole series. Well at least that started to wane as the anime went on. I really like this anime, it's really good and Horie Yui did a good job as Suzu. MAME DAIFUKU! :P The anime had a lot of action too, it's really a harem anime, but I like it because it's a romantic comedy too. :P

Okay, I now know why some of my bestest friends liked Fruits Basket so much. Tohru is so awesome! Tohru is like the ideal person that everyone wants to be, she's just so nice and nothing phases her despite all the hardships she goes through and everything that has ever happened to her. She has great friends too, and she makes everyone happy. She's just uber awesome. It's no wonder why the Souma family loves her so much, well except Akito of course. I kind of want to read the manga now... The anime was just so good, I don't know what else to say about it. The Chinese Zodiac thing is interesting too! But we never met the horse, and I'm wondering why. :o

EVERYONE SHOULD WATCH FRUITS BASKET! Lol, people should watch Nagasarete Airantou too, it's not bad at all. ^__^

Spring Break

Obviously, I haven't posted for a while, and obviously, it's because of finals and Smash Bros. So, I'm on Spring Break now, and yesterday night, Jasmine Ngo (Bless her soul :P) told me that I needed to blog, so here I am. SSBB is obviously VERY fun, and I'm surprised I ended up with so many new friends because of it. Obviously, the characters I was planning to use didn't exactly come out the way I planned. I ended up being the best with Lucas, despite me wanting to be good with a lot of other characters. Of course, I am and after many one on ones with my friends, it is determined that Lucas is my best one. >_>

I made this sig a while back. I got the idea for the background from one of my hallmates, Ryan who kept calling PK Starstorm, PK Hellstorm so I used it. xD This is mostly reflecting my Lucas maining, but I added Ness because he can use PK Starstorm too. Okay, enough about Smash Bros. even though it has been my life since it came out, I'm now going to discuss how this week is...

When Shana and Clannad end! *sob* They just weren't long enough, 23/24 episodes? PSHH~! Not enough! Anywho, I made the new banner based on Shana since it was ending. Used this picture for Hecate, and it's only Hecate because she is freakin awesome! ASTER! :D I hope a third season comes out, but it won't be for a while. I love Shakugan no Shana, but my fandom of it is going to fade soon after it ends. *sobs*

*sob* Clannad's ending was sooo adorable. Everybody should watch Clannad. It ended happy! Just like Kanon. Although I heard the movie ends differently, I should watch it... Clannad was REALLY good. I can't wait for the next Key anime to come out. :D Tomoyo forever! Well that's enough blogging, I dunno what else to write. :P

Sociometry

Wow, Mai-Otome 0 ~S.ifr~ came out so fast! I am in awe, the episode was wonderful! It's pretty cool to see Mayo and Shion finally animated too! They look and sound great! It's hard to believe that Sifr seems so much more like Arika than Lena does, I'm a bit shocked. I can't believe that Sifr is going to marry such an older man and have Nina-chan with him! It's quite shocking. Sifr seems so sweet and innocent too... Maybe that's why Nina was in love with Sergey? He's an older guy too. :o

Oh well, the episode was amazing, and the characters are great! Mayo... or Raquel rather is pretty awesome. She has a staff! And I knew Lena would be amazing, but wow she just blew me away! The fight scenes were awesome and there wasn't much fanservice at all, which is good. Zwei had a bit too much fanservice... Anywho, I'm already excited for the next episode! What happens to Sifr?! I wonder why the headmaster of Garderobe is so evil... Not like Natsuki at all! Poor Elliot, has to choose between her love and her master. :o

Also, I absolutely LOVE the new ending for Shakugan no Shana Second! Sociometry by KOTOKO! I seriously can't wait for the single to come out so I can have the full version because the song is just beautiful. Oh... and I just realized that this was my 100th post. :P

Zombie Loan

This anime is definitely good. There is 11 episodes to it, plus 2 OVAs that are coming out around April. I recommend this anime for both guys and girls. First, for the guys that read this blog, there's a lot of fighting action in it and it can get serious. For the girls, there a lot of tension between those 2 guys there, so yeah.

I might be blogging about anime once every Saturday to keep it active since Alvin is busy and stuff.

True Tears / First Post

Hello, I'm new to this and its my first post so I will just be posting of animes, mangas, and games that I think its worth to be blogging about. I'm kind of shocked that this anime is different than the visual game. The art is different and the whole story is too. I started when it first came out and then became attached to it. True Tears became one of my current top five favorite anime, so its worth it to watch. Rarutos didn't watch it, so maybe this blogging about it might get him to. I love the opening song because its so peaceful and actually matches the anime. So far, there 7 episodes out. The story is depressing and shocking at the same time. Every episode leaves with an event that comes in the next episode like Shakugan no Shana Second, so it makes it seem short.

On the left is the 5 main character of True Tears. Shinichiro, one of my favorite characters in this anime, is the main guy character in this anime who is the the way left of the picture. He kinda confused with all the girl drama thats happening since those 3 girls loves him and it leads to drama.
Opening of True Tears.

Myself; Yourself

Ahh, another anime has been completed by me! I'm on an anime spree now aren't I? Hmm, oh well!

Anywho, this one is called Myself; Yourself. It's another anime based off of a Visual Novel, and it's not bad at all. Although I started hating Sana, the protagonist in the beginning because of his stupidity towards Nanaka, but he redeemed himself towards the end. Anywho, this anime is somewhat comedic, but for the most part, dramatic and depressing. Aoi makes up for the depressingness though, however it was sad that she didn't have as big a part as Nanaka, Asami, or Shuri.

Nanaka is pretty cool though, she's the main heroine I suppose. Even though people list that both Sana and Shuusuke as the main protagonists, it seems as if it's mostly about Sana after all. Maybe in the original game you got to choose who's side you take or something? Also apparently, one of the heroines didn't get much time for her either, which is Yuzuki-sensei. Yes, their homeroom teacher, though I did find it odd for the teacher to be a heroine, nontheless she's pretty cool. Anywho, although Shuu and Shuri's story was pretty depressing, considering they had a messed up home life, I'm wondering why they ended up running away from their problem so easily like that. Either way, the anime makes it seem like ZOMG TWINCEST even at the end, considering they explained NOTHING! Asami is pretty cool as well, although I never expected her to be evil...

Anywho, enough of my ranting. Myself; Yourself isn't one of my favorites but it's pretty good. I recommend it to people that like depressing anime. The characters are pretty interesting, but yeah the only ones I really liked her Aoi and Nanaka. Mostly Aoi though, Nanaka was a bit depressing, but still cool. Asami was cool too, I liked her until she showed how evil she was, but she seemed to be better off at the end anyway. Oops, I ranted again sorry! I'll stop here.


This is the opening! The song is nice. I believe it's called Tears Infection, it fits the anime, sorta. Anywho last note, I kind of found it amusing when the seiyuu say Myself; Yourself when they're giving previews for the next episode. xD And I just realized I forgot to say anything about Hinako! :o All I think of her is that she looks like Asuna from Negima! She's not a bad character though. :P

Kokoro no Tsubasa

Yay Minami-ke Okawari! I'm so happy it's finally getting subbed, even though it's being subbed my amateur subbers. Either way, I greatly appreciate them being subbed! Thanks a lot random subber people! Anywho, I've grown addicted to the opening song for Okawari... It's kind of sad, I've been listening to it over and over. Oops, I really should be finishing up my English homework rather than blogging. Shame on me. I do like the art in Okawari though, seems a lot more crisp and nice.

Anywho, this is old news, but Lucario, Jigglypuff, and Ness are confirmed to be in Brawl, so yeah. Check Brawl Central, the news is all there.

Kyou no Go no Ni and Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun

I spent half of my weekend watching anime and I actually ended up finishing two whole short series. The first one is a rather good anime by the same author as Minami-ke! I thought Kyou no Go no Ni was so adorable! Yet it was unfathomable that Elementary school students would do such dirty deeds. This anime has a LOT of ecchi for a story about elementary school students, but it's pretty hilarious. Kyou no Go no Ni is an OVA series that only lasts four episodes so it was rather short. I loved it though, it was funny and the jokes were pretty good. I loved the characters too, and the ending was cute. I recommend people watch this if they can get a hold of it, it's great.

Goshuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun! I actually enjoyed this anime quite a bit, and I only watched it on impulse this weekend because of Sawashiro Miyuki playing Houjou Reika. Darn you Ar tonelico II! Chroche-sama's voice actress just lured me into watching this ecchi-filled anime. Geez, I just realized I watched a lot of ecchi this weekend. o.o

Anywho, I really do like this anime, not because of the ecchi of course, but because of the story and characters. This is the first anime I've watched that had Succubi in it, which is pretty intersting. Apparently, succubi are female demons that lure men and pretty much kill them, especially if the men are adulturers. Anywho, Reika is awesome, she's almost exactly like Chroche-sama, even in name. Hehe, I was so used to hearing Sawashiro Miyuki's voice with blonde girls like Shinku and Chroche-sama, so it took me a bit to get used to Reika having her voice. I don't know why I'm so much more of a fan of Reika than Mayu, probably because of her voice actress and similarity to Chroche-sama, but I guess I just like the character herself. I wanted her to win against Mayu for Ninomiya-kun. Haha, Reika is pretty awesome, she becomes a maid just because of Ryoko blackmailing her, and yet she still gets to do everything that she normally does in her regular life as the heiress of the Houjou Corporation. Yay Reika! Well, I think I've written enough now... I'm not sure if I was going to write more than this, but oh well! :D I recommend Goushuushou-sama Ninomiya-kun to people to watch as well as Kyou no Go no Ni. :] These two anime are not recommended for children to watch though. xD

Minami-ke

I was recently introduced to this anime by my cousin and I have got to say I fell in love with it! NINOMIYA-KUNNNNNNNN~ LMAO. This anime is simply hilarious, though I'm really sad on how it ended so suddenly. The image of Hosaka standing on that mountain and never attaning his fantasy of a relationship with Haruka will stick to my mind for a good long while... Well at least until I get my second helping of Minami-ke! Okawari! Yes, that's right, there is going to be a second series! It actually starts next week, right after this one ended. I'm uber excited. Hehe. Anywho, I recommend this anime to ANYONE, it's hilarious. :D

Rozen Maiden

I finally finished watching ALL of the Rozen Maiden episodes, I realized yesterday that I hadn't posted anything about it since I started watching it. Anywho, this is a really great anime, lots of emotion and great plot. The characters are plain awesome, especially Shinku. Sawashiro Miyuki, her seiyuu is pretty awesome and I've become a big fan of her because of Shinku, Chroche-sama from Ar tonelico II, and Velvet from Odin Sphere. Sawashiro is also in Mai-Otome as Sara Gallagher and in Mana-Khemia as Titil Mimi Nike Mele. Honestly, I can't tell that it's her sometimes, that just means she's a good voice actress. Anywho, I do recommend to watch this anime to anyone, it's really good! Though some might be creeped out by the fact that the dolls are alive in this... *coughDenniscough* It's not bad or creepy at all in my humble opinion.
