start of something new...

Hi guys! First, I have to greet you a happy monthsary! haha. Time flies so fast, and it's the 7th of the month when I always remind myself that I have loyal and wonderful followers who until now, still fond of whatever I posts. My tumblr account is always been my escape of sadness, a medicine for pain, and a paradise of wonderful boys(smiles). Boys that will never be true, it cannot smiles on us with those shiny white teeth with or without fangs, it cannot fly with us(literally) to bring us beside the moon, or it can never be as much as romantic like those from manga or anime. Objectively, I created the account for myself. As an anime/manga lover, I am amazed about the whole anime thing, it's like it can bring me/us into diffirent worlds. But at the back of my mind, I still don't want to be attached to those characters. Maybe I'm just afraid of the day that I will not believe to people anymore and prefer watching anime or reading manga.  I want to remind myself that even if I like manga/anime boys(or characters), reality is bigger and better, that real people can be more amazing than fictional ones. It's a pat in my back that when some people hurt me, the act. can be a reminder of perfect characters that are only present in books/manga/drama/anime. It reassures me of unperfect world yet a world who runs for perfection.
For that, Happy Monthsary, guys!

Let's get to business! It's October. When I open my favorite anime streaming site, new and first anime episodes comes flashing before my very eyes. I immediately peek from my window and I see dancing yellow/orange/red/pink-colored leaves outside. It's fall. So, to start our month right, let me introduce some new ones that I recommend and watched few days ago. Check them out guys. ;)

 - Yosuga no Sora ( In Solitude, Where We Are Least Alone)

Synopsis


The story is set in the distant mountain village of Okukozome-chou. Haruka Kazugano and his twin sister Sora have fond childhood memories of going to the village to visit their grandfather during their summer vacations. However, after losing their parents in an accident, the two must move in with their grandfather.

The twins get reacquainted with their old childhood friend Nao Yorihime, their new classmate Ryouhei Nakazato, the shrine maiden Akira Amatsume, and Akira's friend Kazuha Migawa. All seems peaceful and familiar. However, beneath the surface is a secret promise that the twins made with each other long ago, the whereabouts of an important lost item, and the real reason they chose to come back here.

fymb thoughts: 0.0  <-- Yes, I was like, my face was like this when I ended the last scene of its first episode. I'm expecting a clannad-like story because it is somehow slow in pace. Because the story revolves in the life of twins, a girl and a boy, I concluded a drama plot. But like everybody's surprise, it's more than that. It is rated as mild in nudity, remembering the girl in the tub and the twin girl trying to tempt her brother. >.< After watching it, you've come to realize that the twins are in-love with each other, they live alone together in a village, cute girls are everywhere and there are more, more, more scenes to come. ;) Putting it aside, I'm looking for depth. I think I'll see it when the story progresses.

- Psychic Detective Yakumo

Synopsis

In order to help a friend possessed by a spirit, Ozawa Haruka knocks on the door of her university's movie research association. There she meets Saitou Yakumo, a rude, unkempt young man with a red left eye, who is said to have spiritual powers. At first Haruka is skeptical, but she comes to believe him when he conveys messages from her older sister, who died when she was a child. Together, they work to shed light on the terrifying events happening at their university. But this is only the prologue of what's to come...

fymb thoughts: I'm waiting for this. Seriously, I expected the same intense scenes I felt when I'm reading the manga.
The anime girl's appearance is so different, I like the one in the manga more. The first case started like the same but as it plays the scenes are somewhat edited, replaced and others are removed. When you've already red its manga and watch the anime, you'll know the difference. I'm a bit confused. I want the anime to be more slow so that people who red the manga can still feel the suspense and those who doesn't red it love it more. I'm not saying that the anime is bad, I think the manga is better. Good thing, Yakumo is all hot, so it's okay. ;) Still, it's an anime to look forward to.

- Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai (The world God only knows)

Synopsis


Keima Katsuragi, a second-year high school student, is an avid dating sim gamer. He is known on the Internet as "The Capturing God" for his legendary skills to be able to "capture" any 2D girl in games. However, in his actual school life, Keima is known as otamegane, a derogatory portmanteau of the two words otaku (オタク) and megane (メガネ-"glasses").

At the start of the series, Keima receives an e-mail offering him a contract to "capture" girls. He accepts what is thought to be a challenge, and a demon from Hell nicknamed Elsee appears. She asks for his cooperation to help her in catching the runaway spirits. These spirits hide themselves inside the girl's heart, and Elsee suggests that the only method to force the spirits out is by "capturing" their hearts—making them fall in love. Appalled by the idea, Keima refuses after clarifying to Elsee that he is only interested in "capturing" 2D girls and that he detests reality. Nevertheless, with the contract already accepted, Keima would have to help Elsee no matter what; if they fail, both Elsee and Keima would lose their heads.

fymb thoughts: Everybody's is waiting for this anime. It has an interesting story. I think, many of us, aside from watching anime, are also interested in video games like playing wii, psp or xbox. Well, not all. I prefer not to buy the above game innovations cause I might get into it and be obsessed playing. ;) Those who play absolutely relates to the story, that offers comedy, harem and romance.
Keima is an example. He is interested in girls.. hm... let me correct that one. He is interested in other type of girls. He is only attracted on girls in games. With his pfp(in real life, psp), his life is complete and his real life revolves in it. Insane, right? The first episode is pretty exciting. Hunting loose souls with a cute girl seems like a good adventure. Because he accidentally agreed to a contract, he should hunt loose souls within people, particularly girls, and the way to capture each of those souls, is to make the girl fall for him.
Try click the play button. ;)

- Motto to Love-ru

Sequel of to-LOVE-ru.

fymb thoughts: hmm.. uncensored please? hihi

*So, that's it for now. There is more anime to come this fall and I feel you too guys are excited. Let's enjoy them...
xoxo.

* happy birthday to my oct. celebrant and follower: ialwaysgetaten.tumblr.com(oct1) hope you read this.

up

Zup? Hi guys. If you're to ask me, I'm ok. Last few days was so long for me. First time that I worked from 10:30 pm to 7 am and then 1 pm to 6 pm. I haven't slept until then. It was a experience! You? How's life so far? I'll be glad if you tell a story through comment box below or share some links to your account for me to be able to peep some events on your life. I'm very interested in stories and lessons learned, you know.

Anyways, have you guys been reading manga lately? I just finished some of the latest chapter updates from some manga sites. Like, the new chap of Good Ending. It's been exciting for me reading it, and as well as feeling hangers at its last page. Temptation lingers from Risa, like, is Utsumi really can hold himself when she is around expressing her love and openness? When Kurokawa's all proper and gorgeous wearing her yukata, what will happen if she discovers something from the two who recently dirt(literally.lol) themselves?
While reading the new chapter, I just remember the anime "School Days". Because of the male lead's perverted thoughts and fondness of seeing breasts of the females, he got.. (SPOILERS!!) he got killed, brutally. I mean, who watched it? He was cut in the head but still smells his original girlfriend's breasts smell as they stroll in the boat going nowhere. Insane. Well, I'm afraid for Utsumi to do triangles and complicate things also. But, I think it's not that tragic, anyways, the genre said it's not.

Watashi ni xx shinasai's new chapter was also out. The story interests me, the drawing style is not so good, but it's still a hit. The lines are so romantic and catchy. But, I felt a little out of balance on how characters are drawn like they are still in their young childhood age, yet the actions sometimes are so mature. The actions was uncertain like it lacks depth sometimes, it's like reading a puppy love of a couple wanted to experiment. At some rate, it intrigues me when things can be more intense and mature. Like, how far can the girl lead go for her mobile love story. If words should to be felt more real, can the writer do anything to be able to put a heart into her story?

I'm tired this day so I didn't watch more of anime, but I'm trying so quickly to finish the "Occult Academy". Some of you might seen all, but not me, my friends. I'm slow at it. hihi.

Oh! and also, I posted recently about where are the places you wanted to go.  Some of you said U.S., others excitedly answered London, or Paris. Many of you, answered Japan. I somewhat expected that many wanted to board for Japan, if given a chance even a 2 day with a night escapade. Who doesn't, right? You know, when you say Japan, I say let's go! haha. When I think of Japan, I think of anime and manga and turning japanese and cherry blossoms and kirsten dunst singing the song I just said. ;))) When I think of that country, I conceptualize a big city that it might have so many lights at night, but it's still in the night. (do you know what I mean?-- i hope not.. hihi. kidding!) I love to go to that place anyways. So my japanese followers, hi there! hihi. I'm not a japanese but I love anime and manga. Jpop? ahm..

So guys, stick around(I might do a blog again, kwms! last ep blog to be done was cancelled! maybe some other time.hihi)

mwah! - fymb

youth...

ayeah! Hi guys! It's time to talk and talk and talk in this blog. It's a windy morning. Yesterday and the day before it, I was surprised when my sister was reading the manga book, "The wallflower". And I was like, wow! She's into manga-reading also? And she said, "no..no, just only this!" I laughed inside. She's never into reading manga. I'm the one who's obsessed and to think that she will begin in age 17, I don't know if it's alarming or not. hihi. She just finished the volume 1 and starting the volume two. By the way, she borrowed the book at library at their  school. She said there are also other volumes there of  naruto, one piece and others. I wonder if the library, updates? If it does, I can sleep at the place all day. (kidding) So go on the library, you might find a bunch of manga there and some otakus lingering around. I introduced to her some manga websites but she's still into other things like fb and youtube and david archuleta and, aj rafael covers. haha.

Talking about my sis' age, thank you for those '53 followers' who answered my poll question asking about their ages. It was for me to determine what is the range of my followers. Coming from the answers, you guys have co-followers aged 13-23. That was cool. You know what's even cool, if one of you guys claim that you are above 50 or below 5. haha. That will be so much fun. I think it will be nice to see different people with different age levels to take care of. I want to influence those older aged groups and the young ones. Please answer the poll if you haven't answered it yet or give me a message.


So Let's talk about fun! Who red Kimi ni todoke chapter 48? I do! Kazehaya's all adorable and sweet. While walking hand in hand, they were seen by Sawako's mother who's about to go home also. They were startled. K immediately introduced as her daughter's boyfriend and formally announced his respect. Sawako's mother somewhat knew about her daughter into relationship so she is not shocked anymore. She invited K to have his dinner at their house which K gladly accepted.
Well, if you're gonna asked me what scenes I like most, it was when Kazehaya called home and talked about his girlfriend who is their topic of discussion that he's talking about often with his parents. <3 That's a major turn on.
One more thing, I also laughed at Kuronama's father fidgeting at the gate and was unable to come in at his own house. Man, that was epic. hihi. Maybe, he's afraid of that day. Maybe, he's afraid of his own daughter introducing another boy at her life. I think all dads are like that. They don't want their daughters to grow up too fast, to have and love other boy more than himself and to get married(yeah, exaggerating!).
I think chapter 49 is available in download also, so others might red it already. Speaking of this manga, who already watched the live action? Oh, yeah, yeah, I hear you guys... Harima's screaming fans. We'll I didn't watched it yet and I don't know how and when am I gonna be. I'll take time. If you watched it already, you can tell me how it turned out. ;)

Hmm.. I'll be doing other blog for kwms last ep, so stick around! mwah!

'bout u...and me.

Hi guys. Last time, I ran out of questions but then I realized I wanted to know more about my followers' personal activities so I posted  a blatant question - "What are you doing?". These few days I'm totally thinking about my life being drawn into my decisions.  Last few months I am totally cool and stress free most of the days, like,  net, work, review... things like that. I think it was normal. But, sometimes even if you enjoy the things at the fullest, it must come to an end. To be fully understand what I'm saying, I'll share a little something about myself. Next month, next 10 months, it will be the struggle-st months that I must encounter. I'll be going back to my hometown alone, sharing my home with 4 relatives(my family will be left behind here).  I'll be going to spend my last semester, my review and an exam that can change my life. How was that? It is challenging to hear, yet a hard thing to do. So, with me thinking these things, I want you also to open up. I red all of your answers and I realized one thing: that is, being a child/teenager/young adult is something all of us should be thankful for. I'll be going back at my studies. I thought, it would be nice again to curse profs, or be late at school or doodle at my notes or to feel an infatuation to the most coolest guy at school(laughs).  Of course, it sucks to be waking up early in the morning, but it feels so good to run  and enter the premises of the school looking for your friends. A little advice: stay happy. Time runs so fast, I always say that, but it's true. Embrace the atmosphere at school because if things will to come at an end, you can't do anything to replace does emotions that you felt. If you're happy at school, be happier. If you don't, think. Because the happiest time for me was the time of innocence. And that time, was the moments when your problems was still handled by your parents. The easiest pain of bruising when you ran miles at the school oval, is the easiest hardship to bear. And the responsibility that you would want to stand up on of doing which is doing homework, will be the most wished by adults. Because homeworks can be finished by doing all night, but complicated problems faced by an  adult cannot be attain overnight.

Speaking of 'ends', Kuroshitsuji final episode has been aired few days ago and Katekyo Hitman Reborn! was announced to end in September 25. And, we all know that most fave Kaichou wa maid-sama! will end soon right, same goes to High school of the dead.
See, even anime that was part of our childhood must come to an end, even the most romantic shoujo anime could lead to saying 'goodbye', or the coolest action genre or sometimes even if those anime that made us cry, can make us cry more when it closes its final scene(even if it's a sad ending, it can't be helped).

But, as long as I'm here, as long as you're still there, I will never say "goodbye".
Just, see you around.;)

my choice.

 Hi guys! It's been like 2 days since I posted a poll question regarding who do you want for Takahashi, Takeuchi or Yano. I attempted to write this blog yesterday a few times but I can't find an answer to my own question. You see, bokura ga ita is one hell of a drama/romance anime/manga that if you keep yourself emerge or attach to it, you will ask for more to the point that you might be intrigue how this series will end. Others watched its anime and cried infront of their monitors each and every episodes when Takahashi cries. That time, I'm sure that If I would to choose between the two boys, definitely it would have to be Yano. That time, even if at the back of my mind, it was just an anime that sucks making me cry, I prayed to God, that the anime will end up with something memorable and won't make me sad for a day or two. It breaks my heart then, that the separation scene at the train station was the last scene making my heart's core crushed into pieces. I remembered that at that time, I can't move on  for two days that I can't watched other anime updates. Urgh... a frustration of an anime lover, indeed. The anime kept telling me that love can't stand alone. You have to come across adversities and fate and time and surrounding people of each person's life for love to work.. and for it to call that the feelings are true. 

Making manga as my basis of selection, I would have to choose Takeuchi. Keeping all emotions put aside, Takeuchi is the best for her. I know, others might disagree with me, but I have quite good reasons. Accepting the fact that he doesn't have enough guts at first to confess to Takehashi, he keeps his life almost perfect to the point that the only left for him to complete perfection is to fill his heart's content with a girl that can love her, that he loves. Takeuchi considers friendship, love and time. Being 'timing' as his strength, he pursue what he wants. On the side of Yano, he was the one who have more burdens in life, because at the top of them all, it's his unrequited love made it complicated. So, no one to blame, right? The only thing is, the crybaby ends up crying, the liar lie and was hurting inside, and the odd one out will always be odd. And, putting all emotions back, we all know that when things were said and done, Takahashi and Yano's complicated love story deserves a happy one. I know, Takahashi's been crying all along, but it will be okay. I know that Yano sacrifices a lot, but all sacrifices will end into bliss. I know, Takeuchi waited quite a long time for love, but I terribly believe that he will attain what he deserves. 

mwahhh.

H topic

Hi! Ow.. time flies so fast. Fast that, I can't believe that it's more than a week that I hadn't post anything here. So, let me tell you about what are my activities today.. can I have your time? But first, I'll greet you readers who just happen to click this link, readers who always click links because they are intrigued and readers who are my followers at my tumblr accout. Hello again! These past few days I'm actually suppressing myself from posting too much. hihi. Some of you might noticed that, huh? Well, let's just say I have also some things to figure out and do.  Everytime I checked my account, loyal followers reblog and likes a lot so when I'm starting to feel down, it's weird that I always found myself smiling. Anyways.. it can't be helped, right? For me, when things go wrong... I'll just read a completed shojou manga and dive myself into it. And who's with me? (laughs)

Let's get to the poll question I recently posted. It says "be honest". May I know who's honest? I terribly believe those peole who answered the question. A while ago, I coincidentally heard about the topic of honesty between two people talking. They are against certain people who they knew that became 'somewhat' behaved dishonesty. And I said at the back of my mind, what are factors affecting people leading them to say about things the other way around? Then again, during my manga reading, a male lead is also not honest to himself. He can't decide on his own, he just let an incident be, and when he finally realized who he really likes and decides to go for it.. it.. seems that it's too late. So mind you! Liars. hihi... But, seriously... we love the word honesty, right? How could you not be honest, if the last thing you heard is the word "honesty''? It's my favorite word for the day. In manga, if dishonesty is in the relationship, even if the girl really likes the hottest/handsomest/coolest boy in the class, even if she pretends that everything is okay, and even if she laughs and smiles and smirks... it will lead to crying. Ahm.. when I say crying... i mean.. so so so much crying. Crying means you're hurting, right?

So, in my analysis, some said a hard 'NO!', others said proudly 'YES!' and others said 'is YAOI counts?' (that makes me laugh). When I first heard the word 'hentai', it was from a mouth of a first-year classmate. It was the time, when it blooms as some newly form of addiction that targets kids who just love surfing the net and exploring. I also remember a news regarding hentai. So.. curiousity comes after. Haha. I clicked and clicked anything to find it for myself what's hentai is all about. Then.. boom!. I was like, "I'm outta here, not my type... I'll watch dragonball!" (laughs) So if I'm gonna answer the question, I'll say 'Yes'. I watch hentai, but, not in an everyday basis. I mean, come on! There are so many anime' that is waiting for me to explore, right?
I would have to agree with a follower who answer the question that most hentai have no good storyline. That is my reason also for dropping the stuff. On the other hand, I still believe that there are others who have unique story. But at this moment, a lustless and chessy love story or a fictional/supernatural mind blowing manga will be good.

This is taking so long again, so gonna shut up. ty for reading. ;)

day watch

It's time to sleep now. It's my free day today. And, i spent most my day as an internet-to-fun-to-insomnia-attack day.hihi. That description says it all... i don't have a life. Joke.
This morning, i watched last few episodes of School Rumble 2nd semester(yeah, yeah, how slow I was). It was hilarious. At some point, I wished to have a school with that kind of environment. I think it will be a lot of fun. Like, playing war games in the middle of the night with the whole class, or having a school festival. It will make you also think who's ending with who. A love, comedy that can end your day with a smile. ;) It was a playful anime with episodes that sets you like a child wanting to have a surrounding with happy people involving your friends. When it comes to love, oh.yeah, yeah,.. tells you to fight for it till the end; whether it is not declared yet or just starting with 'I want to date you' stage. It might as well can make you think how Karasuma or Tenma will end up, or when Harima's true intention to Tenma will be blurted out, or how Eri's feelings will be transparent, or how far can Akira's awesomeness go or who's Mikoto's choice between Aso or Imadori. Or.. maybe, a rumble you'll never forget.

And then, I also watched Romeo x Juliet(after being on-hold). Hm, at first, I hesitated to watch it because I somewhat knew the ending already. But, anime adaptation is way too different. It involves fantasy, and as of these days, i enjoyed much from this genre. This explains  some pictures from this anime particularly from Romeo, Tybalt and Francisco at my tumblr act.

Then, as of this moment, my mind still waits for the latest chapter of Bokura ga ita. Urgh, it frustrates me a lot. I know, some of you feel the same way. Frustrating and frightening. Caught my heart offguard. ;( I'll send a letter containing frustration-filled words to Obata if he'll not end the series a happy one! Seriously! hihi.. No.. it was a joke. ;) So bringing this manga here, I'm analyzing what this author was thinking about the ending. Two things. First one, he will end it in a good and acceptable way which for sure can make his BGI fans happy, contented but still crying. Or, number two, an ending that can frustrates us all with whatever might have happen to Yano and all we can treasure was the bountiful quotes every chapters shared. Lessons will be learned and can make fans feel that sometimes, things can't go well and doesn't have a happy ending. Ahuhu. Too much for that.

Ahm.. what else? Ah! who red Hana no kishi manga? I do! I do! The one with a girl lead who disguised as a boy and have a responsibility as a first knight of a noble family. It was Ran protecting Sei who have a fiancee' named Ibara who secretly have feelings for Ran.

I preferred watching more anime than reading manga today. One of those anime was Nurarihyon no Mago. I was late watching the latest eps so I grabbed this free time. I don't know, but if am I gonna choose between the day Rikou or the night Rikou, I might end up choosing both of them(not choosing, in my case). High schooler Rikou is so adorable.hihi. While, the mature and strong Rikou sure have the guts.. and the hotness. Yokais always interests me a lot so I kinda like this anime. One of my fave summer anime so far. When all anime fans there wants Naruto, Bleach, OP or FT characters, I can't protest because I am busy searching for a good photos of this anime's characters. hihi. But, it's so few. ;( Do you mind to submit a good picture? I hope not. ;)
Ok.. so I'm sleepy now. But, to make it fast, I also watched episodes of Uraboku(hm, let's talk about Takashiro's hotness next time, ok?hihi), Sekirei, HOTD and Seitokai Yakuindomo(i don't wanna elaborate those green jokes.laughs).

So... till here:0 mwahhh.oxo

unrequited.

It's already 1:24 am(maybe this will be posted later this afternoon). My monitor clock ticks the same with all other clocks in this city. Probably, most of the people are sleeping right now. But me, just starting my day after I got home a while ago. You'll be expecting some randomly being posted still until before two. After that, I'm dropped dead. You'll be seeing me at tokyo or right beside Kazehaya(laughs). I'm already dreaming. So here is the topic... 'Unrequited love'. I am browsing my 'plan to read' category a while ago at my myanimelist profile and I selected this featured manga with a different title. I'm excited to read a new one. It's because my few favorites didn't update yet. I am also fond of discovering manga. I really like 90's manga. And when I say 90's it's when sketches are like all faces(haha) and the background is completely boring. And don't forget the 90's haircuts! haha. To cut it off, I don't know why I like them.,grrr.(but this new manga is not from 90's, just sayin')

So then again, I opened this manga and the summary was  catchy. Even if, it feels like it's 'the same as others' at first, it can't be helped. Unrequited love is love and love is romantic love and romantic love is amazing and..well, you know what I mean. We relate. That's important. It's about the story of a girl student with her bffs liking a certain idol at school. At first, she never feels for the guy but a meeting at a train changed it all. The guy accidentally broke her cellphone accessory and the introduction began. (fastforward) So after finding herself feeling love, confession accidentally said at the train station and rejection, even if it was kindly said, stabbed her hopeful heart.
Unrequited, indeed.

Is it ok to love a person continuously after hearing him say 'thank you, but sorry. I'm seeing someone right now'? This question lingered at my head during my commute to a destination after reading the few chapters of the manga this morning. It reached my philosophies in life but never shaken. After the answer above, the girl accepted it and hoped to maintain the friendship. Unrequited love like this, makes me question feelings. I'm loving the speed of time so my questions always specifies time as a common factor. Like, how long should you endure a broken heart? How long did one-sided love be as it is? Did unrequited love can grow and develop? If love is associated with growing, how unrequited love grow? When only one person feels the love, how can she be paid when waiting is not an option?

The guy friend of the the male leadl who is in-love with the girl asked about her feelings. It strucked my senses. He said, "What do you want to be to him?" That's right, my mind suddenly reacted. If only one person feels love, how far will it go and what to do you want to accomplish towards that person?. The female lead said that at times when she was with the guy, she always hope to make it last. She also said that her feelings were no place to go, they just piled up. She said it's fine and enough. Both parties are true. Yes, it's legal to like someone and to develop those feelings into love. But hopes getting up bit by bit everytime she as with the guy as he gazes and stares and laughs and eat choolates. You wanted to make it last. Yet, at the end of the day, he'll be back at his girlfriend. You are looking all with the cutest and positive way possible to let no hurt barge in. But, at some point, where does this go? Did this love has limits?

On the other hand, the guy's friend love the girl and decided to win the girl by trying his best. By staying at her side, he balances reality for her. And, if reality strikes, he always finds himself presenting it to the girl. He once said that her loved-one has a girlfriend and wishing for anything is not okay.

I'll be talking about this guy then, to whom the girl lead strikes her love into. Seriously, He's really hot. The fact that you will always look after his actions and observe his habits can make you realize why she fell in love with him. A typical idol looking but reveales a different approach that makes it even more mysterious. Other shoujo manga boys doesn't love sweets, but he does. Others ignore their fans but he acknowledges them even if he has been called by his name for the nth time everyday. Others are not nice and playboy but he's the kindest. He smiles always in front of someone he really likes(guess who?) as if he was just told the first hilariously joke on earth.;)

Ok.. I'm gonna stop now, this is taking too long. hihi. I'm gonna clear out one thing, love surely is mysterious. It can't be helped when it's already there.. but things develop, seasons pass, and seriously, people change! So... there must be love! ;)

Manga being talked about: Strobe Edge
Rate: 8/10
Comment: Ahm, read this manga! the guy is hot, scenes are cute and deep, lessons will be learned, and you might find the answers to my questions.;) And also.. chapter 14 brought me at the verge of crying, but Chapter 19 was just perfect.huhu. But... Oh, man.. ;)

Don't forget to give me your thoughts! ;)

Nurarihyon no Mago ep 5 thoughts

..unaware that the iced-circled ball of tears and my coldness might make someone jealous.

Crap that jealousy! It can kill people, you know!...
The rest of the gang was off for a field trip to chase yokai without knowing that one of the members was the next heir to inherit and lead a company of yokai.
But a yokai clan will always have to have a snake in the story(eventhough they are demons, ek?) Like a class with a few bad and naughty students or a family with a black sheep. Because all yokai leaders are oppose with Rikou having the throne which can summone the power to lead yokai, they try to kill him for those personal motives. The trip might be the day they've all been waiting for.
Kiyo Cross Supernatural Investigation Squad(that was the very-long-but-have-stupid-missions title of their team) reached the mountain and was amazed with what they saw! Claws and an unidentifiable tarantula-like structure amazed their eyes and made them scared as well. As the professor explained the legend, you, as well, might had a keen look at him. You will never know what this filthy-looking prof was up to or the man controlling him?!..
The episode just ended there. The cute scenes of Rikou and the frustration of not having to see the manly Rikou around(laughs). The couple?.. yeah, in the eyes of Kana, was having a scared look in their faces and  worries of something might happen that must not happen. Because Kana's confused with her feelings, she's also intrigued about the closeness of Rikou and Tsurara, having their moments together. She also kept thinking about the stranger who save them. She might as well develop feelings for that man, huh? And I'm talking about the person that awakes only at night and can make her fall in love with those eyes that originally belong to an average highschooler that fully differs from him...her hero.
 But behind those scenes, was a certain 'Gyuki' watching.

Uraboku ep17 thoughts

when jealousy strikes...

The episode of Uragiri wa boku no namae o Shitteiru entitled "Sakura" was about the friendship of Yomi, Takashiro and Reiga. Takashiro's story involves the three of them plus the jealousy and the betrayal(well, as the title reflects). The beginning of the episode was a sakura tree that refuses to blossom. Young Reiga watched it as he compares it from the other trees that blatantly blossomed their flowers. Reiga said that a sakura tree that never shows its flowers is not a sakura at all. Takashiro's observance made Reiga hope for its blossom that year.
The feelings of Yomi was transparent into the eyes of Reiga. Before Takashiro left for business, Yomi was scared and worried. And when jealousy strikes... it can kill a town. As the newly blossomed sakura tree vanishes its fresh flowers because of fire, Takashiro found Yomi fighting for her life in a room. Reiga was there, with a heat of anger. Takashiro gave his whole trust to Reiga but he's there to betray him.
After hearing the story, Yuki was to make a choice. It was obvious that Yuki is nothing to do with the Giou clan, with Takashiro.  His friends are so worried for him and longs for him specially his company at the twilight mansion. Luka, unable to enter the place waited patiently.
It was obvious of Yuki to accept the offer. She decided to continue what the clan and Takashiro believes in. And that was to stop Reiga to destroy human kind and his beliefs of killing them because he thinks that they are not fit to live.

I'll definitely wait for the "A world without you" ep! ;)

Day 30 - Anime character you want to cosplay

Yehey! Finally! This is the last post for the anime challenge and it's been like... more than a month(because i skipped some days) of posting my  favorites along with my valid and invalid reasons that might made you say "say what?" and "you're right!".
Cosplay didn't really impress me a lot. If you're gonna observe my previous posts, there is no posts about cosplaying.hihi. But, there were few cosplay pictures that I saw in internet that I found cute.
 Anyways, maybe cosplaying Miaka(Fushigi Yuugi) is fun or a girl from the Night Class in Vampire Knight(uniforms are pretty good). I like to wear the traditional clothes of Kikyo(Inuyasha) or Chizuro(Hakuouki) too. But, I think I'll go with the clothes like this(but maybe not.hihi):


*I'll be posting new anime challenge in the next few days that you might love.;)

Day 29 - Favorite school uniform


Vampire Knight Night and Day class uniforms.
I love their uniforms. It's the first thing I noticed when I red the manga. I think it was because of the details, colors and lines. 
I also like this one.
Magister Negi Magi uniforms.

Day 28 - Favorite pokemon



I am so happy when psyduck is with Ash's group. It is adorably stupid and funny(laughs).  It is a water duck pokemon. I think the first time we saw this pokemon was when Misty accidentally caught her at Episode 27. It frustrates Misty everytime it emerges from its poke' ball attempting to fight when she needed her other pokemon. But at some point, she deeply cares for it. Despite from being oblivious and always stands vacantly, it possesses psychic powers triggered only if its headache(that's why it always holds its head) worsen. That headache also causes Psyduck of not thinking clearly. This appearance of being weak meant to trick enemies. It has arms with three claws on each to deliver scratches if threatened.



Who is your fave?

In my eyes(2): This guy.

warm smiles...
This is the first time I actually posted a non-anime character pic or poster here in this blog. If in rules there will always be an exception, my blog won't have one, because it has no rules.hihi.
I know that anime lovers specially Kimi ni Todoke lovers are excited to watch the live action starring this male lead, Haruma Miura. You know, at its premiere day,  I might be back home continuing my studies. I might get busy doing some stuffs. For that, I might not have enough time checking the movie on the net. I'm afraid they will not show this movie at theaters back home(so gonna browse it on net or by dvd/blue ray).
By the way, the first time I've seen him was when I red the news about the movie. He's pretty handsome and nice-looking, huh? And, I've heard affirmations and excitements that he got the part together with his partner, Mikako Tabe.
I was just hoping that he will give justice to Kazehaya, but I know he will. I sense it. To be honest, I am not that fan of Japanese drama, but I watched some good ones.  I remembered a version of Hanayori Dango.
I just want to watch those smiles come to life that made me squirm at its anime ang manga. Might as well want to know how will it end. I want to say "Owww.." after the last scene played. ;)
who's watching?

Day 26 - Your favorite harem anime

What is Harem?

Harem, broadly speaking, is a loose subgenre of anime and manga characterized by a protagonist surrounded, usually amorously, by three or more members of the opposite sex. The most common and practically tantamount scenario is a male surrounded by a group of females; when this is conversed it is informally referred to as a reverse harem. More recent variants include removing the protaganist's opposing sex to allow for yuri harems and yaoi harems (as with Maria-sama ga Miteru). The term is derived from the Arabic "harem", modernly defined outside its original meaning as "a group of women associated in any way with one man or household".(wikipedia)

These are my favorites:

Harem as a central element:
Love Hina

Harems as an additional element:

Oh my goddess!
Ouran High School Host Club
Mahou Sensei Negima!

sekirei: pure engagement

Day 25 - Best anime villian


Majin buu

My elementary life revolves with Dragonball Saga phenomenon.  The seasons consists of different levels of villains that wins anime viewers. And the reason of wanting to save the world, starts it all.
Majin buu, created by Babidi, appears to be fat and goofy-looking. The appearance might not resemble his true strength that can destroy planets. He can absorb people's energy and powers in two ways: making them his snacks preferably he's favorite 'chocolate' and; engulfing them as a part of himself by covering them with a part of his body. Everytime he engulf someone, his body mutates appearing with a resemblance of his victim.
The encounter with Mr. Satan changes Majin buu. He starts to live with him and his dog pet. But things are not simple as that. The evil side of Buu unleashes from him that makes them the good and evil counterparts.
The "evil" Buu easily defeats and re-absorbs the "good" Buu demonstrating that there is really more "evil" than "good" in Buu. The absorbtion transforms Buu into a purely evil entity.

Hana to Akuma Chap 1 and 2 thoughts: i knew it's romance!

I want to discover a new website because the old one was updating some mangas I honestly can't catch up because it's too long(about chapter 198 and up.hihi). And also, at this moment, mangafox was down and all weary. So as I browsed this manga website, Hana to Akuma's two chapters came before my very eyes with colors. I gave it a chance.






14 Years ago Vivi, the demon, decided to leave the demon realm and come to the human world. There he found an abandoned baby and on a whim decided to keep it. Since then he lives together with Hana...but having a 14 year-old girl around you, is it really that simple?
I have always liking two types of stories in manga, one is the student-teacher relationship in a shoujo and the other one was demons/vampires/yokai and human realtionship in a supernatural, fantasy series. (*blush*)  How can this manga be on hold into my  myanimelist account, when this man started to give radiance at the first page of this manga...

Profile:

Vivi (ビビ)
Vivi is a 200-year-old demon who came to the human world. He found Hana during his second winter on the human world. He is related to Lucifer, the king of the demon world. He is terrified of cats.(I'll be using Vivi instead of Bibi, eventhough Bibi was used in the manga xD)

So the story started when Vivi while walking, found a baby lying under a cold winter knight. He then decided to brought it at his castle. Fourteen years after, Hana(named from a flower because they describe her smile as one) grew happily with Vivi knowing the fact that he's  a 200-year old demon that can instantly wilt a flower when touched. This was also the reason while Vivi didn't want to touch Hana. So first things first, first question! Why abandoned an offspring at the middle of the night? Well, the reason for this is enough to stick at the whole story and wait several months for new updates(a frustration of a manga reader). Second question, what was about the demon world, what was about the followers of Vivi and how powerful are the demons? I think I just want to know how was the concept of demon realm and demons in this manga. The concept of Vivi as a different demon above others will make me amaze in the future(i terribly believe in that). I want also to discover other cuties.. ahm... demon cuties. Like, Felten/Felton, who made me adore him at the beginning. He was Vivi's old friend(but he always denies him.hihi) who frequently come to  the castle to visit them and one time gave a message of letting Hana go to 'the surface' and requested Vivi to come back to their place. But, he found himself helping Hana to be closer with Vivi. One time, he wanted to release Hana's sadness so he brought her to the town leaving Vivi worried. This moment made him follow them at a warm noon(which is a demon weakness). He felt Hana's hair for the first time that made him want her more(I think.hihi) The other day, he touched her and kissed her on the lips. Last question, so you feel certain something Vivi, huh? Love, huh? xD
 I am waiting for the update of Vampire Knight and Black Bird, and I'll be adding this manga to my list. ;)
Give me your thoughts after reading!

KWMS ep17 thoughts

Kaichou wa Maid-sama! Episode 17


fireworks... wrong timing.

Mizaki and company's second day was full of hotness(you know, usui and the sun!). To be able to test that Aoi was growing, Nagisa challenged him to win with somebody the championship of a volleyball tournament. The motive of Aoi was different. He will be fighting for the freedon to cross-dress. Ayuzawa was reliable and accompany him until the last fight. She was surprised when Usui will be joining. Usui with his partner amazed the audience and made it until the final round. The two teams were in the middle of the game when Ayuzawa screamed the feeling of irritation about Usui becoming as her enemy. Laugh trip, friends!(laughs). The highlight was the hero move (as expected) by Usui when he saved Ayuzawa from hurting her back at the poll, and when Usui's chibi face said "I'm fine".



Apologizing Ayuzawa tends to walk with Usui that night and then Usui took the initiative of saying caring words to Ayuzawa. They were about to kiss when the fireworks blasted in the air leaving them hanging(in their minds). She early knew that the purpose of Usui joining the competition was to prevent Ayuzawa from posting for pictures wearing bikinis. A Usui-selfish reason.

The summer ended together with the blasting, colorful fireworks illuminated the warm summer night and a happy picture of a fun experience.

Love Berrish Chap 13 thoughts


Love Berrish


Synopsis


15 year-old Yuuya Fukushima has always wanted to live on her own, in an inn next to her school. This new dorm of hers, the Strawberry Tree Dorm, turns out to be a place with weird people -- a girl that touches her chest out of the blue, a guy with one of the shortest tempers ever. BUT the good thing is, there's a really handsome and nice guy that she fell in love with instantly! Also, not to mention a crazy cat who adores him (looks can be deceiving...). Yuuya's life has just became much more interesting... (Source: M-U)
 
"will you go out with me" sincerity?
Tumblr is down at this very moment and when things are down, blogger is not.hihi. At first, I am not that excited reading Love Berrish.  Mangas with this school life type always been the same(as I thought). Like, the female lead was so cute with unrequited love with someone, the boy she likes like the other girl, the other girl likes the boy who like the female lead. Yeah, that's what I concluded in this chapter. And when Azusa asked Yuya to go out with him, I think things are going out the wrong way. At first, I want Azusa and Yuya to end up together but after reading this chapter I realized these things:

  • I like Nagisa better because he cares deep inside to girls. ex. when he waited for Ako outside when she was hurt and offered his company to go to her dorm or when he even made food especially for Yuya on her first night in the dorm and tells Yuya not to worry so much what other people think about her(previous chapters.
  • Nagisa somewhat knew Ako like him.
  • I think Azusa like Ako but when he heard her liking Nagisa, he just decided to ask Yuya to date him. I mean, what was that? There is a quick change of heart? Saying sorry about the 'rain conversation' last time shows that he knew she will confess that time but he doesn't give her the opportunity to do so.
  • Nagisa is so cute than Azusa specially when Emika was fixing his hair.
  • Azusa's one strange boy. Always strange.
  • The moment when Azusa called Yuya for talk, I knew Nagisa sensed something. Nagisa was tensed!;)
  • I will be routing for Nagisa and Yuya from now on.hihi
I'm telling you I'm intrigued right now.hihi. The "will you go out with me" scene doesn't excite me though, and made me sad. The abrupt confession was like a fake one and not sincere. I want to be happy for the female lead but the I have a second thought and that is not believing Azusa's words and was disappointing.
I want to read the next one!  Like, now! (i have so many hanging questions!)

amagami ss ep 4: fast forward...

When you say "I don't like you", does it mean the other way around? When a girl says she doesn't want you to peep when she's in shower, are you gonna analyze it as a command or the reverse of it that says, "you can peep whenever you like"? Is the saying "the more you hate, the more you love",(well, not that hate) true?
Is actions speaks louder than words?

The moment when she said to him that her grandparents nor parents were not able to come to accompany and celebrate with them in Christmas eve at the elevator, I knew she's up for something. It was a plan, I suppose. I flashed back imagining the park scene when she said she'll be spending her Christmas with grandparends, a lie huh?

Right after Haruka Morishima says "I like you" with her toweled-covered body in the Christmas eve in front of Tachibana while crying, I know things will turn out the best for him.
The confession took them into a fast track that surprised me a lot.(a lot)
I didn't realized(and believed) that the couple are together 10 straight and long years that can offer them troubles and difficulties. 
The part when they are still young at heart acting like detectives and victims represents a happy experiences in the past and a different type of relationship. They are absolutely weird couples.
(*wedding bells*)

Saying goodbye...

Onemanga.com will remove all its manga next week.

It breaks my heart to be saying goodbye silently to the website who introduced me to a world of manga. It is my first favorite manga website. It influences me to do my fuckyeahs in both tumblr and blogger. I'm talking about Onemanga.com saying its farewell. I hate saying byebye, but it can't be helped. It is an unathorized manga site broadcasting updated chapters of manga everyday and having it closed left us all alone hanging. Eventhough, there are other manga sites out there, Onemanga still leads as one of the top-viewed manga site for scanlations.
That brings me to the topic of the unathorized manga sites lingered in the net.
My opinion is this:

The voluntary scanlations of manga owners to a manga website is not a crime. They own a volume of their favorite manga and sharing of them in net represents love and freedom of fondness.  If I have an updated one, I won't have a second thought of scanning it and share the pages to all of you.  Manga publishers didn't understand that. Furthermore, last month, publishers all over the world specially publishers of Japan and America doing their best to counteract unathorized manga sites to run.
I have internet and the fastest place to look for manga chapters is in front of my very eyes. Going to the bookstore that merely caters manga volumes sucked big time. I'm having a hard time to look for a bookstore selling manga that updated and consistently adding volumes on their bookshelves. In top of that, I with most manga readers out there can't afford updated volumes of our favorite manga when some of them publishes at the same time. It is very selfish hearing my reasons but when it comes to priorities, when all unathorized manga translations are all gone and wiped out, i think wise manga readers out there will feel remain in doomed and will put manga reading into silence. Profit of the publishers may increase but not so much(i guess). As of for me, spotting a good manga will be impossible anymore. The thrill of discovering a good one will decrease and will have a controlled limit with  few popular mangas(to think they are better among others and no one else).

As for the plan of establishing an authorized website "Openmanga", I can't comment on that because I haven't experienced it yet. '.'

I'm ending this with a heavy heart...and a hope of leaving things at it is.. leaving happiness to readers who just love manga. ;)

Kyou koi wo hajimemasu ova ep 1 thoughts

Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu

English: Today We Start Our Love


Sypnosis:


Tsubaki is a girl who loves making her younger sister's hair pretty every morning, but she doesn't think that kind of style suits herself! On the day of her High School Opening Ceremony, after she failed to be the top student (who usually makes the ceremony speech), she finds herself sitting next to the actual top student of the 1st years, the worst rude guy ever, Kyouta. Because of his saying bad things to her she purposely cuts his hair. Kyota requests that Tsubaki pay him back "with her body" but Tsubaki pays him back by fixing his hair and making it even shorter! Afterwards, Kyota unexpectedly kisses Tsubaki and swears he'll make her his woman.
(Source: Shoujo Manga Maniac)

Ok..so, after I went from the mall, i logged in to this computer, opened tumblr and http://animekiwi.com/. My eyes constricted right after I saw Kyou koi wo hajimemasu on the updated/new episode category. All I think of was the two Tsubaki and the manga that always left us hanging, now with the chapter which was all about the competition. I definitely believed that the anime' was good because the drawing style and the characters(even if it may be compared to other manga) can really catch the attention of the anime lovers. A manga lover like me automatically gave it a chance. So, when it was all here, I was really shocked and excited, even if i already knew that it will be release anytime soon(no time to check the sched).


I clicked play and I felt a little sadness. It was so fast at first, that I already saw the classroom scene that was suppose to be on the latter part of the future episodes. The animation didn't gave a proper life in the characters. I am picturing Tsubaki Himino as more emotional because the actions might come into life, but it was like a series of colored-printed pages of the manga compiled together in a slideshow. I know, you observed that also. If you haven't red the manga, you may have a hard time understanding the first few scenes. You may lost on a lot of background information that just couldn’t fit into this episode(well, i think that's what the creator thought because of low budget) but surprisingly deep.  The other downside was that the creators didn’t really get a good voice actor for the lead male. If you were watching with subtitles, you might notice it. If you're a japanese, you may exclude this element, but English-speaking watchers will observe the voice of the male lead, first and foremost. Like, Sakura Kinimoto was a favorite because her voice (from the dubber) made it as cute and lovable. Tsubaki, Kyouta is a strong character so I think he deserves a voice that fits his personality. For the female lead?... hm... nevermind! anime' creators always puts a good voice with that stereotype kind of female lead.(you know what I mean). (laughs)
 The visual drawing was good, the sketch was the same as the manga (tsubaki was still hot.hihi)


To sum up, well.. let's not judge when it is still starting. Let's give it a chance. ;) For the first time watchers of this anime' without reading its manga, don't judge it so fast. Futhermore, you can start reading the manga series to be able to familiarize yourself with the story. Other scenes that was not included in the anime' may help you and can be one of your favorite scenes in the series. When it comes to the soundtrack.... excellent!

;)
what do you think?

I watched a couple of anime's today so I'll be posting some random pics of your favorite anime episodes.

next time!

Day 24 - Favorite anime hero

Instead of "favorite", I'll be answering with my "favorites". ;)
For me a hero, is not stupid. He thinks before punching, he acts what he speaks and picks a deserving girl and not the annoying one. But, come on... those qualities doesn't exist in a single hero specially in anime.
He may think hard but during the fight...


He may posess a unique technique that can kill demons and ghosts, but at one point in his time..he died...


He may navigate a super robot, but because of protecting the girl that hitting him the most...



He has a heart, because he protects his family and friends the best that he could. He can never kill someone even a villain, example is Grimjoww. But admit it, he was bombarded with insults...(but still determined)




He is wise, but sometimes solves certain cases that interests him a lot...



Imagine, an anime' hero is not that perfect.
Have you ever hear of this saying?

Remember this well. There are two types of fights. As we have put our lives in battle, we must be able to distinguish between the two. The fight to protect life of people, and the fight to protect pride.
~Jushirou Ukitake from Bleach(yahoo)
