Baka Test
The story plays in a school, where every comfort of the class is decided by their test scores. The lowest ranked class uses experimental fantasy summoned monsters to battle the higher ranked classes.
*CAPS )
If we can excuse the fact that this will probably be another harem anime, the development of the lowest ranked class may become interesting. ^^

Chu-Bra
Hayama Nayu is really taking underwear business serious. So she makes an underwear club in order to educate students about the proper knowledge of underwear. Based on a manga by Nakata Yumi.
*CAP )
Please don't force me to watch more than the promo! T___T

Dance in the Vampire Bund
After long hiding Mina Tepes, the Princess and ruler of all vampires wants a change: so after paying the full national dept of Japan she gets the authority to create a special district, that is to become the future heaven of vampires. Now everyone, terrorist, rival factions, etc. want to kill Mina.
What I didn't get what Kaburagi Akira has to do with anything... next to the fact that he is a werewolf and knows Mina somehow. ^^"

*CAPS )
I guess if he is with or against her, will come out if I watch the series. ^^

DRRR - Dullalal!!!
Based on a light novel series by Narita Ryougo (Baccano!). From the promo I couldn't get much, only that it plays in Ikebukuro. Many characters (maybe a gang?), guns, knifes, and pure men-power.
*CAPS )

Hanamaru Youchien
Based on a manga by Yuto, about a day-nursery.
*CAPS )

Hidamari Sketch x Hoshi Mittsu
It's a 3rd series to the Hidamari anime, that began in 2007 winter season about friendship and life in a cute style.
*CAP )

Ladies vs. Butlers
A school raising ladies and - how 'practical' - maids and butlers at the same place! Hino Akiharu enrolls in this school, and becomes a part of the servant training development. Based on a light novel.
*CAPS )
Next to the harem-anime type with the stereotypes of young girls, the cow-like breasts, panties are really making me feel old... It may be cause, I saw this kind of anime so many times, but I just don't find it funny!!!

Nodame Cantabile Finale
The story goes on as an anime too, just like the live did. ^^ Yeey for that!

*CAPS )

Omamori Himari
Amakawa Yuuto was being protected by his only token of his family: a good luck charm. But on his 16th birthday the charm can't protect him from evil spirits anymore. And then comes a cat-spirit samurai girl and demon huntress, who wants to copulate with him. The only problem that Yuuto is allergic to cats. Based on a shonen anime by Matra Milan.
*CAPS )
This feels like Nyan-koi... only not so cute, and full of ecchi scenes. ~~"

Ookami Kakushi
Kuzumi Hiroshi moved to a town in the mountains, where old and new streets are separated by the river. He gets the advice in school by the class committee member Kushinada Nemura to stay away from the old streets. Many mysterious encounter can happen.
*CAPS )

Seikon no Qwaser
Alexander (or Sasha) came from Siberia and turned the world of Oribe Mafuyu and Yamanobe Tomo upside down. Somewhere on the grounds of St. Mihailov Academy, a Japanese Eastern Orthodox school, there is a pearl of a miko hidden. Quaser - people who can manipulate chemistry - really want this treasure. The only hints are the daughters of Yamanobe Yuudai. Based on a manga by Yoshino Hiroyuki.

*CAPS )
This scenes look REAL, and interesting... even if it feels there are quite the shoujo love vibes coming from it.

Sora no Oto
Set in the future, after the world has settled after long running wars, the 15 year old Kanata Kumika gets accepted in the army, and joins an unit of 5 girls, to protect a fortress. They also play music, that reverberates across the sky to towns far far away. It's an original anime.*CAP )

Wanted to post this for ages, but always forgot. It's a cap from the 8th episode of Shugo Chara!!! Doki Doki! Yoru always makes photos of Ikuto and then sends them to Tadase and Amu. But while Tadase gets the normal 'half faced photos, with Yoru's paw in the picture' Amu gets so much more...!!! *grin*

It's really such a good feeling to see a guy, who looks thin have a healthy appetite... so naturally I couldn't hold back and made some caps from the time Tamaki Hiroshi was a guest in SMAPxSMAP to promote the Nodame movie... and he eats a lot. ^___^



Tamaki Hiroshi eats! ^.^ )

Began to re-watch Atashinchi no Danshi. Don't know why, but I just can't get away from the parts where the brothers warm up to her, especially Sho and Chisato together... <3 I think it's really cute!

Not to say, love how Mukai Osamu is styled. This is the kind where I would go all 'moeeee'. ^^ It's not anything special, I think it was fashion in my high school days, and maybe that made an impression on me. He wears those clothes with such confidence, I'm just awed. <3

You know what I mean?

Watched the 7th episode of Kimi ni Todoke... and am floating to the 7th Heaven now. THIS is my favorite part of the whole story from all 9 volumes. And now I could see it in anime! ^^ With the characters moving around, and the seiyuus doing a great job. Oh, I'm in love... with Kazehaya and Ryo both. XD

It was such a shame, that we couldn't see the cell number of Kazehaya, right [info]mizukiaya ? It would make the search for him so much easier! ^^ Not that I'll give up on finding a character like his in real, but it would have helped. And don't mind it that I'm over 10 years older than him. It's the 21th century. X3
Pin = LOL. XDXDXD There is one more scene with him that I'll love to see in volume 5, so if I count it right, six episode from now, maybe? Whaa, can't wait! ^^


Couldn't hold back, and made lots of caps, that you can download HERE. ^^

Hirosue Ryoko had the image of a cool and talented actress to me. This time on Arashi-chan she looked quite dummy. I have a Lina Inverse feeling with the prince image breaking in my head. ~~"
Aiba-chan was really cute, talking about the hamster, and giving a handshake to a fan little girl. ^^
What I didn't really know is that Ohno is the same age as Hirosue Ryoko! O_o

With the Mote Arashi Dame Arashi corner I only have one problem: it has to many episodes now. Not even half the fun it was in the first two parts. Since I can't say anything good about that I only have two reasons to mention it:

There was no surprise about the ending of this anime. It's a bittersweet summer story Japanese-style, so naturally it has a story line like that. I guess that every anime fan, who saw at last one-two summer animes would expect it this way - even if it's not satisfying at all. ~~" Even the sister-complex of Urin is usual.

Okay... after watching the 2nd episode, I can almost understand what Gainax wants with this new season. If any of the fans can delete the memory of the 2nd seasons end, then it's a sweet new season about friendship, the blooming relationship of Suguru and Mahoro-san, and the shadow of time hanging above their heads with the number of days Mahoro still has.

Usually I'm really patient with animes. No matter the style if I find just one interesting thing in the story, I try to watch it till the end. By Sora no Otoshimono the first part I watched without a problem. In the 2nd episode the misunderstanding of the childhood friend, Sohara is normal, even the sempai's reaction to Ikaros. But the flying pants... oh, those flying pants! T___T And then the guy actually feels moved by the sight!

Not to talk about the fact that in the 4th episode the flying pants come back (!!!) to Tomoki - after flying around the world once T___T - Sohara naturally doesn't trust Tomoki into throwing it away, and with the help of Ikaros she wishes for the pants to blow up if he sees them inside the house. Since the night before the wish Tomoki put them into arrangements you can image the action-hero scenes with the explosive pants. T___T



I take my hands off this series, and cry for the part of sanity I lost while watching. T___T

The first and only time I wrote about this anime series was by the time the new season began. For me it was somewhat of a Noir copy, no matter how I see it. Sure, this time the two women are not partners but arch-enemies, since it was Alphard who killed her mentor...
Woman with extraordinary powers use guns fighting each other for reasons a normal person would never understand... well, if you like the type, or the game then it's surely nice to watch... I'll pass on this though.

Hanawa Keiichiro is a teacher with body and soul. Even after he gets blind, the feeling of wanting to teach stays with him strong, and so he doesn't give up. After the normal rehabilitation he gets signed up for a guide-dog, trains with it and doesn't give up till a school says, they'll hire him.
He gets to be the teacher of 3rd year students, and while they don't want to take him serious at first, the kids realize quick, that he while he may not see, that doesn't stop him from wanting to help them.

This drama is major underrated, in my point of view. True, I only saw the first episode, but am already in love with it. <3 In some way it makes me remember Dillon ~ Unmei no Inu. Maybe it is by the same channel. Or, because both have 5 episodes, and are human dramas with handicapped people.

True, that I only saw the 1st episode today, but it made a big impact. For example the rehab in itself. I have never seen how people need to train to have an about normal life just because they loose a sensory.
Another thing was as the guy took hold of his family picture, and couldn't even realize that he holds it up side down. Still, the feeling of the support and love he felt from them didn't change. I really love this thought. <3 ^.^

Hiragi Nachi (Fujiwara Norika) works as a C-section surgeon in the maternity ward of the Obstetrics and Gynecology department of an university hospital. Because of some past experiment she follows the philosophy of saving every child, even if it means taking on high risks. She gets a new rookie from the university, Tamaki Satoshi (Kamiji Yusuke) as a student, and he begins to envying other students, who get to practice, and get questions answered, while he just follows after her like a lost puppy.
After wiki there will be a lawsuit against Hiragi-sensei, after she makes a risky cesarean section, and looses the patient.

While I don't have anything against operations, I don't really want to watch blood all over if it isn't a vampire story. ~~" Not to say, that Fujiwara Norika isn't such a talented actress. Neither in Star no Koi, nor in Damens Walker did she act outstanding.
The only good point is, that Kamiji Yusuke can be seen with dark hair... Yappari Japanese people look cool with black hair! *.*

Just as I got home from work today the phone rang: it was an old classmate of mine. I didn't even know he has my home number. O_o Anyway he called to tell me that we'll have a class reunion in December...

HELP!!!

I'm in such a shock now, don't even know what to think... You can say I was an outsider in high-school, reading or writing as my only hobbies, and by the 5 year reunion they hurt me enough. Now I really wish that I could just make a good impression on them all, to have them say "wow"... I know it's a romantic thought, but I just can't let it go.
Now it's true, that I can't get out of my skin. But it really feels like destiny, that my diet will end on the 1st of December. Or do I have paranoia now?

Agh, I envy the women in kdramas. They all have at last an Oppa, who they could drag with them and show off. If only I could take a guy like Tsumabuki Satoshi with me~. It would make my life so much easier.
Hey, great idea! Doesn't anyone know of a handsome Japanese guy, who could come with me? Nanchatte. ~~" It's too much to ask, I know.
I should really open up a host club for occasions like this.

This anime really shacked my world. I know how they handle not curable illnesses (see 1 Litre no Namida for ex.) and that usually if Japan makes a drama, I'll cry, but watching a story about it animated... it's just another dimension of tragedy.

Story is about the twins Riki and Momoko. But while Riki goes to 3rd year of grade school, Momoko struggles with several illnesses and needs to go to a special school for handicapped children. She always cries about wanting to be normal, and only calms down when her family sings the song "Momoko Kaeru no Uta".
Later Momoko gets permission to attend Riki's school as a part of an exchange program. There she cheers not only Riki, but every class-mate on.


More thoughts from the greatness and tragic of the story )

At last I realized what disturbed me in this jdrama - next to the fact what a bull the story is. The acting of Aiba-chan (sorry, my Dear, but you're really not good in a drama). The girl is cute, I must give her that. But her formal way of speaking... of always answering on everything with a "hai!" and an energetic bow of head... ~~" It quickly goes on my nerves.

My guess is that Aiba-chan got used to the stage, and variety too much. His every move is so over-acted...!!! After I tried to image him on a stage in the same role, it actually made perfect sense. And we all know, that what is still good on the stage, will never work in a film.

Hm... To tell the truth, after the first two episodes I felt the 3rd one slowing down, to the point where I thought it a bit boring. But the the 4rd came up for it oh-so-well.
First of all: I admire the character of Tuo Ye. He is THE best kind of guy, harsh on the outside, but protecting the ones he likes with everything he can. Can't help it, I get weak by the type.
Then the Aunt... the best in her character are the weaknesses, wanting to depend on someone, and fearing of loosing that, to the point of not seeing the reality anymore. It makes the story that more real, I love it. And then as she reads the letter of Mu Cheng, it's like she got a wake up call. I was awed.
The hearing was the best!!! Didn't think they can top what I saw till now, but this drama sure has it's surprises. ^^ Guang Xi was so cool! I loved him in that suit! Behaving all restrained, and that way showing how much he actually cares. And he is even good as a lawyer, juggling with the evidence, witnesses and beautiful words. And that hair-style of his. He really looks great. *.* And did I mention, that he is in a suit?


My only problem now? The fact that Taiwanese always spoil too much. The cut-ins between scenes show always some later part... and it makes me feel a bit irritated. Sure, I like some hint where the story goes, but Mu Cheng and Guang Xi together, with an about 5 year old kid~ it was like watching the ending. Do I still want to watch it after I know the end? Sure I do. But these spoilers break the fun in half.

To have a little fun, I picked up Daycare nightmare to play with again. Do you know about it? In basic it's a daycare for monsters, and you can play as Molly the babysitter. You can try it out HERE. though there you can play for only a day.
It's nothing hard, you need to click quick, to hold the babies and take them to the places they want to be. It was enough to make me a bit relaxed. ^^
There is some blob monster, vampire, witch, ghost, werewolf, gorilla. My guess is that there are some mummies, since there is a pyramid on the town map~... and after what I saw somewhere online even fbi agent babies. X3

At last by the time of the winter season I hope to finish with the Autumn animes. *mad scientist laugh*

Trapeze is an anime with abstract graphic about the psychiatrist Irabu Ichiru, and his patients.
Another SCARY example of bad anime:
