Although I still haven't seen </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Air</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> nor </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanon</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, I jumped ahead to </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Jun</span><span style="font-family:arial;">-sama's latest work, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Angel Beats!</span>

<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">As a summary, this animé's intricate themes are nicely played. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Jun Maeda</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> may be my new favorite writer, screenplay and music composer. This animé plays on the concepts of Life, Death, Fate, Reason, and, unsurprisingly, Love.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Here's a play-by-play of all 13 eps, cause I don't feel like creating 13 entries in the span of a day.</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So, pardon the pun, sparks fly and the fist episode comes to a close. A great way to open up a story! Especially throwing in the song, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Crow Song</span><span style="font-family:arial;">!</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Matsuro's Afterthoughts:</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So, this school is actually an afterlife, or a Purgatory, if you will. I can take that. The non-NPCs are afraid of disappearing, because they don't know where they'll go. Understandable. But possible reincarnation as a barnacle? lol</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And for every time </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >TK</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> speaks, here is </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >TK's quotes of the episode:</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Come on, let's dance!"</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Oh, yeah, don't be afraid."</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Feel the beat!"</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Episode 2: Guild</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So, there's finally an opening theme for the series, and so I went ahead and took the liberty of taking a screen shot of </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Girls Dead Monster</span><span style="font-family:arial;">! Enjoy!</span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Basically, in this episode, the gang must go into their </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Guild</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, a weapon's manufacturing branch of </span><span style="font-family:arial;">SSS</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, because they're low on weapons. But </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Angel</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s headed there as well, so they can't deactivate the Anti-Angel traps. Thus, the comedy.</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Really, the only movement of the story is from revealing </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Yurippe</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s past, and how she started the SSS brigade. A VERY tragic part of her life, and a core reason for her drive and rebellion against God.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Matsuro's afterthoughts:</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Aside from the </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Yurippe</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> past, this episode's just really introducing the cast of characters, and building the relationships of one another. In other words, a filler. But as long as a filler's funny and enjoyable, why not, eh? Overall, the episode was predictable. And I don't like predictability. But one thing you can never predict is </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Yurippe</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s combat skills, going toe-to-toe with a superhuman!</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >TK's quotes of the episode:</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Alright, let's go."</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Just wild then."</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Fuckin' crazy."</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Hurry up!"</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"You can make it!"*</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-"Oh! Run to her and hug her tight!"*</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">*= Says it in Japanese, surprisingly!</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Episode 3: My Song</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Episode begins with </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Yurippe</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> shooting down </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Iwasawa</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s newest piece, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >My Song</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. I'm not one or ballads either, so, sorry </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Iwasawa</span><span style="font-family:arial;">.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So now, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Yurippe</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> recruits another character, due to the one major weakness of the gang: group stupidity. Here comes a rather mundane character to pave the way for </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Operation: Angel Area Invasion Plan</span><span style="font-family:arial;">.</span>

<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Iwasawa</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> reveals her tragic past as well, though as she says isn't as horrific as </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Yurippe</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s is still sad nonetheless. And during the infiltration, </span><span style="font-family:arial;">GirlDeMo</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> isn't doing too well attracting everyone's attention, and is ultimately stopped by NPC teachers. That sucks. It's bad enough getting stopped by real teachers. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Iwasawa</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> retaliates with the last song she'll ever sing in this world, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >My Song</span><span style="font-family:arial;">.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> And so, Realizing that music is her life, finally content with what she's accomplished, she disappears.</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So, the reasons for the shadow bugs is because 'love' was triggered in this world, which wasn't allowed in the first place, or it would become an eternal paradise. From the creator of AngelPlayer, who, a long time ago, loved someone who disappeared from this world. He waited so long he lost his mind, and forced himself to become an NPC, and had Akira Ishida guard his 2nd Computer Room. I see...it makes sense.</span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanade</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s actually the person who had received </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Otonashi</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s organ, and that had saved her life. It was such a selfless method that </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Otonashi</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> had done, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanade</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> wanted to thank him for his thoughtless deed.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It turns out that </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanade</span><span style="font-family:arial;">'s one regret in life was not being able to tell</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">her heart donor 'thank you for saving me life', and regretted it so badly, she</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">wandered into this place. Uh oh.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Question: How did she know </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Otonashi</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> was the one?</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Short answer: When she stabbed him in episode 1, she found out then he didn't have a heart.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Long answer: He regained the rest of his memories when he was sleeping on her chest. Proof that it's his heart. I think.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">But here's where the catch comes into play! If </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanade</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> tells </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Otonashi</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> her</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">feelings, she KNOWS she'll disappear!! *Gasp*</span>

<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So now comes the dilemma:</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Otonashi</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> wants </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanade</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> to stay with him. He loves her and doesn't want to be away from her.</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-Kanade's been in this world for SUCH a long time, endured everything this world has thrown at her, all to hear him say, "I love you. Let's be together forever. Stay with me forever. I love you, Kanade."</span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Wait. She's been living this endless world just to hear a guy she's never met and had always wanted to thank for helping her live, to say I love you?</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And knowing she'll find peace with that and leave him possibly forever, still wanted him to say those words?</span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">If it's so stupid, why can't I stop crying?</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This is giving me a heavy dose of Lunar 2 nostalgia.</span>

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Matsuro's afterthoughts:</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I know, everyone's big question is, "If Otonashi died before Kanade, why was she in this world before him?" Now, hear my thoughts.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Has anyone heard of the law of </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causality">Cause and Effect</a><span style="font-family:arial;">? </span>
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Basically, people assume that because the something happens, the second thing that happens MUST be in direct correlation to the first. Like an earthquake that happens miles away, and then a chair falls over. People would assume it's due to an earthquake's aftershock, but what if it was due to some other cause? Like, someone tipped it over deliberately?</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The same thing takes place in this Purgatory world. You assume just because one person dies first, they will arrive in this world first. Since this world has obscure laws as it is (ie, not dying), I think obscure time-travel arrival is VERY possible.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">But something possibly even more twisted than that thought:</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">In episode 12, Akira said the creator of this world's program was "someone who wandered into this world. This person "loved someone who disappeared from this world." He "waited so long he lost his mind, and forced himself to become an NPC". Hmm...</span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Otonashi</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> wandered into this world. He loved </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Kanade</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, who disappeared. He was left waiting, more or less. And now that the time restraints are gone, this could very well be an eternal loop. Probably a bit vague, but a thought nonetheless.</span>
<br />
<br /><span style="font-family:arial;">And so ends a very rich series, with both endless possibilities, and an abundance of resources we'll never fully realize. Where do you go after Purgatory High? Will everyone keep their promises and meet up with one another ever again? Time won't tell. Jun Maeda-sama has a better chance of explaining, and he'll keep his lips sealed. Project over. But then again...</span>

Shame on me! Well, time to make up for it!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">So to start it off, here's the animé I've been watching/have completed:</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>SPRING 2009:</strong></span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Finished:</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>K-ON!</strong> - 9/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Though anyone would agree this show's all moé and no substance, it's caused a near-revolution in animé production sales! Main point: <strong>Mio</strong>'s MINE!! >:)</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Eden of the East</strong> - 9/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">A very well done animé, and well executed! And I can't wait for <em>both</em> movies to come out!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Asura Cryin</strong> - 6/10</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Well, this animé never cleared half the things they've shown. For an suspense/action animé, it was pretty uninteresting.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>To-LOVE-Ru</strong> - 6/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">The animé pushed the boudaries on <em>alot</em> of things, but the manga outdoes EVERYTHING the animé tried: Even the rushed ending!</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Unfinished/Dropped:</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>FMA: Brotherhood</strong> - ?/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">FMA rebooted? I watched the 1st season, and I liked it. It wasn't until <em>waaay</em> later on, I found out that the animé COMPLETELY strayed from the manga. (Don't you hate when that happens?) Well, I know this time it <em>should</em> follow the manga, but I don't want to have to rewatch the parts I've already seen. I liked the 1st season, so that'll be my FMA memory.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Koihime Musou</strong> - 6/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">I'll admit, I watched more than half-way through the series, but something kept telling me the ending was gonna be just as unbearable as the trudging through the series. Viva instinctive guts!</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Dragonball Kai</strong> - 5/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Dragonball in HD, cropped to fit interesting clips, and revoiced!! My opinion: if they can do that, why didn't they just re-animate it as well? Other than that, I'm not missing out at all.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Hayate no Gotoku 2</strong> - 5/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">I've watched all 52 eps of the 1st season, and although I loved it, watching anymore wouldn't be as entertaining. One thing I've learned from the 1st season is that each episode doesn't change.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Tayutama</strong> - 5/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">ell, seemed cute enough, the whole "Guy find newly created girl, shows her what love's all about", but it was WAAAY to sugary for my tastes!</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Shangra-La</strong> - 3/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">Ever picked something up and wish you hadn't? That's kinda how I felt with the 1st ep here.</span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>SUMMER 2009:</strong></span></div><div><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Finished:</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span> </div><div><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Bakemonogatari</strong> - 9/10</span></div><div><span style="font-family:arial;">The music is VERY good, the story is VERY good, and the characters are VERY well-liked! One question: Is this really the end?</span></div><span style="font-family:arial;"><div><br /><strong>Weiß Survive</strong> - 8/10</div><div>There has actually been times where watching this I'd bust out laughing. Though each ep is about 3 mins, they could've at least made a butload of episodes, like they did with <strong>Damekko Doubutsu</strong>!</div><br /><div><strong>Princess Lover</strong> - 7.5/10</div><div>Of course, it's <em>such</em> a generic harem name! Some people can critisize how much of a generic fanservice-like show this series was, but all the same, I liked it! Sure, almost no character development, but it was a nice ride!</div><br /><div><strong>Zan Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei</strong> - 5/10</div><div>In the end, <strong>Sayonara</strong> <strong>Zetsubou-sensei</strong> is <strong>Sayonara Zetsubou-sensei</strong>. There's now no difference between seasons.</div><br /><div>Unfinished:</div><div><br /><strong>Yoku Wakaru Gendai Mahou</strong> - 7/10</div><div>You know, at some point I've actually forgotten all about this series, just like <strong>Kono Aozora ni Yakusoku</strong>. I gotta finish those eps up, and before the New Year starts!</div><br /><div><strong>GA: Geijutsuka Art Design Class</strong> - 7/10</div><div>Y'know, I really should finish this animé, because it was pretty funny! It reminded me of <strong>Azumanga Daioh</strong> meets <strong>Comic Party</strong>! Pretty educational!</div><br /><div><strong>CANAAN</strong> - 6.5/10</div><div>1 more ep, but I can't find the time to watch it! Lol, maybe it's just the fact that, 1: There are better shows to watch, and 2: it's just not that interesting halfway through.</div><br /><div><strong>Umineko no Naku Koro Ni</strong> - 6.5/10</div><div>I have to finish this, since I liked <strong>Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni</strong>, but the 1st season outdid this <em>many</em> times over. Trying to prove that a witch doesn't exist, yet you're stuck in her fantasy realm talking to her? Hmm...</div><br /><div>Dropped:</div><br /><div><strong>Tokyo Magnitude 8.0</strong> - 5/10</div><div>Seemed like an interesting "slice-of-life", but alas, the main characters are children, and although it may be good still, it's the same reason I can't watch <strong>Bokurano</strong>. (*Sigh*, have I grown old?)</div><br /><div><strong>Element Hunters</strong> - 4/10</div><div>I can probably understand why people liked this series: You LEARN from it! Almost no other animé helps you with that! But alas, not very interesting.</div><br /><div><strong>Umi Monogatari</strong> - 3/10</div><div>No comment....Well, what the hell! 2 skimpy teen mermaids going o the surface for lulz? Usually it'd make for a funny scenario, but not THIS animé!</div><br /><div><strong>FALL 2009:</strong></div><br /><div>Finished:</div><br /><div><strong>Nyan Koi</strong> - 9/10</div><div>VERY good animé, very funny at times, and even a suprise parody or 2! I <em>really</em> hope there's a second season for this series!! >_<</div><div><br /><strong>Kämpfer</strong> - 6/10</div><div>Well, as soon as I started reading the manga, the animé comes out, so I think, "Eh, why the hell not?" I eat my words, and turns out this animé strays from the manga into complete fanservice.The only saving grace was <strong>Shizuku</strong>! <strong>Shizuku</strong>~!</div><br /><div>In the midst of:</div><br /><div><strong>Sora no Otoshimono</strong> - 9.5/10</div><div>This series is by far my favorite! Each episode is HILARIOUS! And each episode progresses! Plus with a great cast of characters, this series has it all!</div><br /><div><strong>Darker Than Black - Gemini of the Meteor</strong> - 9/10</div><div>This show doesn't disappoint, and I love how things are developing! Best series of the season! (Again, I say 'Best', NOT 'Favorite'!)</div><br /><div><strong>To Aru Kagaku no Railgun</strong> - 9/10</div><div>Lol, again, I lied. Either <strong>DtB:GotM</strong> is the best of <strong>Fall 2009</strong>, or <strong>Railgun</strong>! Y'know, when I first heard they were making a 2nd season, I thought it was all fanservice, no plot. But the story is AMAZING!! Like the original writer wrote the script for this!</div><br /><div><strong>Seitokai no Ichizon</strong> - 9/10</div><div>Another fun and funny animé, it's hard to beleive this was originally a light novel with this many parodies to it!</div><div><br /><strong>The Sacred Blacksmith</strong> - 7.5/10</div><div>The 1st ep was great! Though it's dropped since, this series is progressing quite nicely overall.</div><div><br /><strong>11eyes</strong> - 7/10</div><div>This series is pretty interesting, though I have an "<strong>Asura Cryin'</strong>" vibe to it.</div><br /><div>Dropped:</div><div></div><br /><div><strong>Kobato</strong> - 5/10</div><div>I'm sure it's a wonderful animé, but all the same, it's just too flowery.</div><div><strong></strong> </div><div><strong>Asura Cryin' 2</strong> - 5/10</div><div>1st season was just, meh. And now the 2nd season? Bleh.</div><br /><div><strong>Fairy Tail</strong> - 4/10</div><div>As soon as episode 2 was released, I found out how horrible the animé was. Not only have they strayed from the story, but the animation's AWFUL!!</div><br /><div><strong>Kimi ni Todoke</strong> - 4/10</div><div>Again, I'm sure it's a wonderful animé, but all the same, it's just too flowery.</div><br /><div><strong>Letter Bee</strong> - 3/10</div><div>Meh, VERY slow paced.

As expected of an animé based on a light novel: a real story with developed characters!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I give it an:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;font-size:180%;" >8/10</span>Matsurohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854334631221131498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103407848405823987.post-32011198530595862172008-12-13T19:33:00.006-06:002008-12-14T16:25:41.711-06:00Life, and then Animé<div>In all my life of watching animé, I've been influenced by that media in many ways, some obvious, some interesting, and taken each experience casted from a screen into my personality and way of life in one way or another.</div><div><br /></div><div>I've seen animé as a kid, starting as early as <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Astro Boy</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Samurai Pizza Cats</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Voltron</span>, and eventually leading up to <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Dragonball</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Dragonball Z</span>, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Sailor Moo</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">n</span> (yes, you read right), <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Megaman</span>, and even <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Pokémon</span> and <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: bold;">Digimon</span>!</div><div><br /></div><div>And then the Internet opens up a whole new universe of animé, where I was before limited to the timetables of what the TV would play, and the licensed products companies would release. No more being kept in the dark about hits that North American shores would never recieve. No more being controlled by "whatever's popular" anymore. As long as the Internet is as free as it is (currently)!</div><div><br /></div><div>So, now that the window has opened, I've become accustomed to a variety of types of animé, some mainstream, others rarely whispered. The animé I enjoyed as a kid isn't exactly the type of animé I can watch 24/7, and I'm constantly refining my cartoon taste as I mature.

Obviously, I was always generic enough to play the Red Ranger, forcing the side cast to other kids. Until the Green Ranger came in the latter half of the first season, I was completely satisfied with the set positions. Those were the days...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Anyway, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Heroes are Extinct</span> is based on the villians trying to take over Earth, though this villain, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cassiel</span>, having so much charisma, you can't help but view things from the other side of the coin and somewhat agree to his reason and methods.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBKnS37DHONeTRZtazxxGyxOqb_63P58I6UJA0DTHrIK3FXPLtmax4ccOb4c7lC11NLc6BhGTrB0tC_igfZeHDdNEdJivjyJr_y8F4QX_AWqH2bTohSQcbnOX5Z0Ti54GidcREmPIz28/s1600-h/HAE1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmBKnS37DHONeTRZtazxxGyxOqb_63P58I6UJA0DTHrIK3FXPLtmax4ccOb4c7lC11NLc6BhGTrB0tC_igfZeHDdNEdJivjyJr_y8F4QX_AWqH2bTohSQcbnOX5Z0Ti54GidcREmPIz28/s200/HAE1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190193935751426914" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cassiel</span> as a kid heard all about Earth's Ranger forces, and grew up aspiring to invade Earth just to clash with the heroes. He until then trains to become the #1 Galactic General, the best of his Bazue Empire. Once arriving at Earth, however, as his invasion is a complete success, he finds out that there are no such heroes on Earth. What does a normal villain do? Guffaw at their unfair advantage and call it a win. What does Cassiel do? Retreat, then sneak to Earth, kidnap 5 teenagers, and force them to (commit illegal acts) become the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Terra Rangers</span>.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Now, the reason this series caught my attention so fast was because it rekindled my love for 5 transforming teenage heroes. A little nostalgia's good for anyone who's never participated in a war, I'd say.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It takes your standard element, and expands it, so you don't just view one side of things.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">(Back in the day, no one cared for <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rita Repulsa</span>, nor <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lord Zed</span>. So, <span style="font-style: italic;">why</span> again did they want to take over Earth? Mars seemed god enough for me.)</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8BrS5Z58qHTMNwPV9n0XzSPUYOAUrXA3zm3uUFcMQdPgaHlyFkwYbs-uR44X3upMP3Md_VKYHSh8jNKU3JDQjnVqmPjeOY62f6ywk45IVx8aMhZXH3dl73hGRhRXN4szxNuKTZ_qENfY/s1600-h/HAE2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8BrS5Z58qHTMNwPV9n0XzSPUYOAUrXA3zm3uUFcMQdPgaHlyFkwYbs-uR44X3upMP3Md_VKYHSh8jNKU3JDQjnVqmPjeOY62f6ywk45IVx8aMhZXH3dl73hGRhRXN4szxNuKTZ_qENfY/s200/HAE2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190193849852080978" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This series breaks down the Ranger theme, step-by-step going through the action poses, the justice speeches, and the (Gundams) Zords, further rekindling my recollection of Power Rangers, I believe all the way up to <span style="font-weight: bold;">Power Ranger in Space</span>, when I dropped the series altogether.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">(Come to think of it, as soon as they got their Ranger powers, they were instantly striking poses, and already knew how to fight. Hmm...<span style="font-weight: bold;">Zordon</span> never taught them that.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Though this is where constructive criticism takes it's toll. The first book was strictly introductions, while the second book was the start of a long series. How does the third book fare? The end. The manga series showed alot of potential to a long and interesting series, but ended as soon as it took off...like a poorly maintained airplane. It tried to sum things up too fast, and it even went as far as to tweak character development from one direction to another, in an unnatural way. The ending was also rushed, and left a somewhat bad taste in your mouth.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3bWBAYASe4y1DrCMVWjsYJHaXrLkYWog_FRJg6sRL1WvjV1IQYyM52SeEW14XTA553T07LeAIqgPfogm_TVA-NCY52W69jEGcmGIQzO8Uugecb5Ci0EcgSIwrKuWjeaGvgnMxpMW95g/s1600-h/HAE3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif3bWBAYASe4y1DrCMVWjsYJHaXrLkYWog_FRJg6sRL1WvjV1IQYyM52SeEW14XTA553T07LeAIqgPfogm_TVA-NCY52W69jEGcmGIQzO8Uugecb5Ci0EcgSIwrKuWjeaGvgnMxpMW95g/s200/HAE3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190192917844177730" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So, rate this series is as follows:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">After Books 1+2 - <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">8/10</span></span></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">After Book 3 - <span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >6/10</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Well, let's do as the author intended and never forget the hero within all of us!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">...Or something along those lines.

I seriously have never seen an animé about one before, even though it's an extremely popular theme. And futhermore, it's all about girls! So, my initial 2 thoughts of the series were:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Kendo? - This series must have alot of action!</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Girls? - This series must have alot of fanservice!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Unfortunately (, and fortunately), it had neither. It was a fun little show barely drifting storywise throughout the season. Rather than an action-animé like the ones I'm so used to, it was VERY laid back. And unlike my 'fanservice' pre-thoughts, it's comedy kept my mind occupied from the gutter. Extremely fun to watch.</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZjMkQHIPRWI2nCPPi5MoAXJfJxyOTqfYkrl335hMEI_q7MAuoPdllhbveR9xtXWIhOZs9Oi-y7Xw83o5fIzQ1XGJYACyyjxNFbMmoHonQANC-O_XIlq9_OQlkKlEEQpGQkFOMKO0IcY/s1600-h/vlcsnap-11907.png"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTZjMkQHIPRWI2nCPPi5MoAXJfJxyOTqfYkrl335hMEI_q7MAuoPdllhbveR9xtXWIhOZs9Oi-y7Xw83o5fIzQ1XGJYACyyjxNFbMmoHonQANC-O_XIlq9_OQlkKlEEQpGQkFOMKO0IcY/s200/vlcsnap-11907.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188972047620485890" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">*<span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" >Gasp* What is THIS!?</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Also, the last few episodes were really something. Episode 25 pretty much summed the series nicely, while 26 was an epilogue, showing us that although the shows technically over, there's always room for more.

I thought somewhere around 26 eps, tops! But at the same time, it's quite expected that a series with alot of material, no venturing story, and unlimited gags, can last a long time! Kind of like </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Gintama</span><span style="font-family:arial;">!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">This animé itself wasn't really something I stayed tuned to see the first chance I get. It was more of those relaxation periods from a long day of...whatever tires you out. Even f I get a hold of an episode, I may not watch them until they clump to 3 or even 5 episodes, but I'll still finish them.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">The story was decent, dropping you straight into the plot with no fancy gimmicks holding anything back. The references they made were only something true animé fans could watch out for, I myself have only pointed out about half the parodies shown. The characters were standard, if anything a lack of emphasis for personalities. Again, nothing deep, but the interactions with other types of characters can be pretty entertaining. When I take a step back and look at it, I guess the one thing I whole-heartedly enjoyed about this series was the fact that it didn't need a deep story to capture the viewers attention, and it was something you can definitely watch with your friends. One thing I have noticed was the change in atmosphere/theme from the early episodes to the rest of the series. Maybe I should research that...</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">It was definitely a good series, but it's more the type for someone who wants to watch animé for the sake of just watching animé.

Drama, comedy, action, romance, possible adventure, more comedy, it's all about how to please the crowd. Pleasing the crowd, by the way, as in NOT going 'Naruto' on everyone. I like to keep things fresh and original. These guys do to.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Midori Days</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> (I don't even know why I'm summarizing something you can find all over the blogging universe, but whatever,) is about </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Seiji Sawamura</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, a delinquent who thirsts for brawling, and </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Midori Kasugano</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, who watches him from afar, almost like a stalker keeping bare minimum with a restraint order. Just kidding. His signature 'Devil's Right Hand' earns him a role model to avoid by all girls, and one to attack by all guys. One night, he mutters to himself, "At this rate...my only lover will be my right hand!", and wakes up the next day with a doll-sized girl attached to his demon fist! Now he's got to defend himself, both body and pride, from the rest of the world. All while looking for a way to revert whatever happened.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Pretty Face</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> is about another delinquent, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Masashi Rando</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, who, at the peak of his life (except for the fact that he's yet to confess to the girl of his dreams, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Rina Kurimi</span><span style="font-family:arial;">), dies in a bus accident. Fortunately, he's not dead, waking from a year-long coma. Unfortunately, however, he wakes up to see his face has been changed to an exact replica of Rina. In desperation, he dashes out to find that his family moved away, and now he's got nowhere to go. Amidst the chaos, what else happens? He runs into Rina. What? you want more? Of course you do! That's why Rina mistake's Rando for her twin sister </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Yuna</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, who ran away about a year ago as well! So now we have Rando/Yuna, staying at his crushes house, Rina, attending her school, all while the only other thing he can do before changing back is finding her real sister and bringing her back.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Overall, I'd have to give Pretty Face the one up, because of a few things:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-Same situations, Pretty Face takes it one step further with hilarious comment</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-Art is more defined, rather than solid chibi-esque style</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-The secret multiple endings</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">-Crossdressing is ALWAYS fun to laugh at</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">So far:</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Midori Days = 9/10</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Pretty Face = 9.5/10</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Now, onward to the next generation...</span><br /><br /><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIn64YUYpQmCn0DjOp2VP9FLbb6bmYne8EbweSz377dU452On3AiBQmvfZpJD_FdGlaOCql3-L07rnBf_5IYmkYslfY6Su5BDOW3EulpD5WCvhtl6Wo3miYknN168f8ddEYy1w_remtfE/s1600-h/love_collage_01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIn64YUYpQmCn0DjOp2VP9FLbb6bmYne8EbweSz377dU452On3AiBQmvfZpJD_FdGlaOCql3-L07rnBf_5IYmkYslfY6Su5BDOW3EulpD5WCvhtl6Wo3miYknN168f8ddEYy1w_remtfE/s200/love_collage_01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179149980354055810" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">Love & Collage is about a somewhat tough guy who falls in love and chases the acquired target to a school.

"Conquer the world." (If you took in people and taught them magic powers, I don't think these would be the kind of students you should accept.)</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Anywho, a girl attending the entrance exam, </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Aika Hiiragi</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, starts laughing at him like she's just heard a </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://williambader.com/mj.html">Micheal Jackson joke</a><span style="font-family:arial;">, and ultimately, he doesn't get in. Blaming her, he tries sneaking back into the school to give her a piece of his mind. Only THEN he realizes that the school secretly teaches magic.

All the savings made the manga <span style="font-weight: bold;">HALF-OFF!!, </span>so me and my buddy spent ALOT of money on these treasures.<br /><br />Of all the ones there, rather than buying SO many popular titles, I indulged and ventured into newfound territory and discovered manga no one's every heard of.

I've also seen that, so I'll give a mini review-in-a-review!!<br /><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tokimeki Memorial</span> was an OVA originally released in 1999, due to the popularity of the successful PC game released in 1994. Unlike the game however, the OVA had some pretty bad reviews. The OVA itself was basically about high school students, although the 40 minute video basically peers into each students problems, activities and goals. There. That's it.</span><br /></span></div><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:100%;" ><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Tokimeki Memorial</span> actually has quite an impressive story to the entire franchise, so I'd suggest you <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokimeki_Memorial">wiki</a> it!<br /><br />Tonikaku! On with the story!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Riku Aoba</span> just transferred to another school due to his father's job. Although the school itself apparently focuses on <span style="font-style: italic;">Freedom</span>, I see it no different from other anime high schools, minus the obscure events. Wait. Scratch that.<br /><br />Basically, the series revolves around Riku meeting 3 girls, who all fall for him, and his indecisiveness that adds flair to this high school drama/slice of life. All 25 episodes follow the time he's spending in his new school.<span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"> There. Spoiler 1.</span><br /><br />I didn't bother to add all 30 characters.

Each year has brought less and less to the table, or so it seemed to me, but this year was definitely something unforgettable!<br /><br />This year, for the first time in Ai-Kon history, we caught ourselves some live American (well, <b>English</b>) VAs!!<br /><br />Here's a snapshot I've finally obtained due to great buddies:<o:p></o:p></p> <a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi82KHkwVqmad8tRMdYxMssTmxHqvA5QIe_H2SqJffPwzzVGdLpWPr84WoVi91DWADw_vvuKvJpGjXCl7dkR4TlDRIZlPRDbKyBAUR7HzCfqX1pLjagE9WjN_bR6jEkX7Ynl2sGjxi46Xk/s1600-h/HPIM1503.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi82KHkwVqmad8tRMdYxMssTmxHqvA5QIe_H2SqJffPwzzVGdLpWPr84WoVi91DWADw_vvuKvJpGjXCl7dkR4TlDRIZlPRDbKyBAUR7HzCfqX1pLjagE9WjN_bR6jEkX7Ynl2sGjxi46Xk/s400/HPIM1503.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5093976397299328322" border="0" /></a> <p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:85%;" >From left: Vic Mignogna, Justin, Greg Ayres, Matsuro, Whistblitz, (I forgot his name >_<), and Michelle. Yes, that's me with the Burning Eyes.

Well basically, to put it into the exact words printed on Greg's shirt: <b>Fansubbing Kills Anime</b>. Simple as that, I suppose. This line is what kills my soul, though...<br /><br />During the autograph sessions, (Y'know. Somewhere amongst the 6 they held,) Whistblitz and I bought some box sets for them to sign; us being the first in line to have Greg sign the BECK amplifier box set, thus crowning us "The BECK Crew", and having Vic sign me FMA box set!<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">I god was I broke!! But it was worth the $200!!!<br /></p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal"> Ironic, isn't it? That they become guest speakers against fansubbing in a convention that plays 100% fansubbed, downloaded anime?<br /><br />Someone? Anyone? Well, <i>I</i> thought it was funny.<br /><br />But besides the infomercial that is my post, there were other things going on in the convention.<br /><br />-Anime: I'm just a little disappointed that they've only shown a total of 5 anime series from the Fall and Spring seasons...And with that, NO HARUHI!!! That's like attending a <st1:place><st1:placename>Disney</st1:placename> <st1:placetype>Land</st1:placetype></st1:place> and not seeing Mickey Mouse!! A world that should not be!!<br /><br />-Gaming: The same old games people play for competition, Smash Melee, Wii games, DDR...Narutimate Hero 4 was a great game. Unfortunately, I only have up to 3, and haven't played it in almost a year. *Jeez, some gamers are just cheap pricks. I've had my share of horrible losses during my first attempt to play a game, Starting with Soul Calibur 2. (If I ever find that overcoat bastard....) Well, couldn't say I lost the Naruto one. The one who tried to maul me ended up getting his own ass handed to him on a silver platter…With a gold spoon.<br /><br />-Cosplay: People dressed very true to the characters they were trying to represent. Too bad I'm too lazy to make a costume, yet genius enough to tell people what to do to improve certain qualities. Some people went as far as to special order sharingan / byakugan contacts, and ended up front page in the newspaper!! (You know who I'm talking about!!)<br /><br />Overall, the VAs were the prime reason I've enjoyed myself so much there. I got to hang with Greg, and he even dubbed me and my friend Whistblitz 'The BECK Crew", so guess what we're gonna cosplay as next year?</p><p style="font-family: arial;" class="MsoNormal">(Too bad I've never seen BECK before...I have to watch it someday...</p>Matsurohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854334631221131498noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1103407848405823987.post-82520765146514116832007-07-24T13:46:00.000-05:002007-10-23T23:31:19.728-05:00Doujin Work - 01<span style="font-family:arial;">Here we have </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Doujin Work</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, which surprisingly is from the mangaka </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" >Hiroyuki</span><span style="font-family:arial;">, who hasn't done any actual manga in the past.

I just couldn't imagine it. I mean, even mangaka have fair-decent living through their work, if you exclude royalties, and that's mangaka who's working for a big serialization company. Correct me if I'm wrong, or insufficient of information otherwise.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Anyway, Najimi meets some people, and concludes the episode by declaring to everyone in the convention that "She'll make a fortune through doujin!"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Hey!

Kotonoha makes her appearance, and since that moment, he's been fond of her, innocently leading to him taking a photo of her for his cell phone. (Blog Note: Not legal.)<br /><br />That same day, on their first day of school, Saionji notices the Kotonoha on his cell wallpaper. (Seriously though: His WALLPAPER!!? Who WOULDN'T catch that?...Baka.) Humbly, she jumps him on it, and then becomes "The Matchmaking Wonder, able to befriend people in a single sentence, despite her annoyance!"<br /><br />Saionji, for the most part of the episode, ends up getting them together, so now right off the bat we have ourselves a happy little couple! You know something's wrong with this picture if you've noticed that this is only the first episode! Kinda like if someone at your school goes out with someone REALLY early in the school year.<br /><br />But wait!! That's not all!<br /><br />Makoto thanks Saionji for her selfless deed, although he did question her as to why she'd go out of her way to help him so much. He says he's indebt to her, and although she really didn't need him to owe her, she gets what she's wanted in the end.

Because: 1- I like animé, 2-Everyone has a different opinion on it, 3-I'm sad like that!</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Other topics will include things like books, movies, events...you know, the things that don't matter. (lol j/k) This blog was inspired from certain blogging sites I read almost on a daily basis. (Which I'll refrain from naming, just incase bad things start happening!)</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> The theme here is obvious for those who share the same hobby as mine: taken straight out of the animé, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya". I'll talk more about this show when the time comes! Other than this, I've obviously never blogged, so I've selected blogger.com because it looks comfortable enough for n00bs like me! I've always wanted to blog, but never got the chance to before due to my constantly changing schedule. (Well, I'm </span><i style="font-family: arial;">still</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> busy, but...)</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> I also know NOTHING about Word Press, the basic foundation for </span><i style="font-family: arial;">any</i><span style="font-family: arial;"> blogger, but I'll adapt as time goes on! Don't mind the template either! I'll have it fixed and personalized to my specific liking sooner or later!</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Oh, my future goals in the blogging community:</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> -To be able to easily blog 1000 words</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> -To make at least 50 new friends through this</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> -To develop my writing skills</span><br /> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;"> Well, this concludes my boring first post! Future posts will definitely catch you eyes, guys, so wait just a little bit longer, my fans-to-be!</span><o:p></o:p></p>Matsurohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15854334631221131498noreply@blogger.com2
