New Season… huh.

Filed under: anime, Misc. — = kiwiish = @ 10:32 am

Where did my September go?

Can’t believe it’s October tomorrow.

Don’t want the new anime season to start.

*ahh*

So I’ve been looking at my current watch list, and I notice all these shows that end during these weeks. And then I think, yay it’s gonna get shorter. And then it hits me that when shows end, new ones start airing…. >_> So this process repeats every time I think about this. orz

Anyway.

Finished School Days the other day. I don’t know if it was disappointing. I guess a little. One reason might be that the previous eps leading up to the finale came up relatively fast. And then there was this gap. Some of the excitement was lost. The other reason might be that I expected Kotonoha to kill herself too. (I don’t know anything about the game though) She’s truly gone insane. And the murders weren’t done very well either… missing the right sfx or bgm or something…? And Makoto’s eyes… yea that was kinda bad. Well, it’s over. Moving on.

Probably gonna finish Darker Than Black today… watched ep 24 yesterday. Hope the ending is good.

Apparently D.gray-man has more than 52 eps. But then if it was actually 52, then it’d seem kinda weird.

Still loving Lovely Complex. Oh Otani. He gets jealous so easily. They’re both so cute like that. hehe.

Need to catch up on RxJ. Haven’t watched 20/21.

Ohhhh I also finished Hana Kimi :D The farewells were a bit too long (they could’ve shortened the minor characters’ lines… don’t even remember their faces >_>). And it didn’t make me cry, which is weird since I always start tearing up when I see someone in a drama/movie cry.
Sano was cute though. His kiss was kinda awkward, but I guess that makes it a bit more realistic ^^
I hope Nakatsu finds someone! Personally I think Nakatsu is better looking than Sano in the drama xD
The one thing that bugged me throughout the show was Sano’s hair (oh, but this isn’t the reason why I like Nakatsu better xDDD). I mean, what were they thinking when they did his hair??

Gotta catch up on Nodame too. The subs are almost done :o

Oh and Heroes is tomorrow~ Mondays will seem so much better now LOL. Started season 1 last Sat, watched 17 eps by end of Sun. Had last Mon off but had something I really needed to get done, so didn’t finish the season before the season 2 premiere haha. But now I’m all caught up for tmr! so excitedddd xD

Drama

Filed under: anime, Misc. — = kiwiish = @ 8:59 pm

Today is the last day of my two weeks of ‘break’. *sigh*

Started Hana Kimi (drama, Japanese version) yesterday and got caught up with the Eng subs today :D Currently loving it <33 I’m kinda sad it’s gonna end soon (3 more eps!) lol.

Also watching the live-action version of Nodame Cantabile. Chiaki seems much more violent in the drama than in the anime haha. I guess I’m not too fond of the way they exaggerate his punches. But this one’s pretty good too, hehe.

And I’m watching way too many Japanese music shows lately. Let’s see… there’s Music Station (the first show I got into, good for exposing myself to more Japanese music :P)… Hey!Hey!Hey! and Utaban (both of these are good, watch them when there’s at least one artist/band I like on the show)… Music Fighter (well I don’t like this one too much)… Music Japan (good that it’s short, but really don’t like the host)… yea. Probably gonna follow more of the first 3. Not gonna watch an ep if I’m not too interested in *any* of the guests. *yosh* that’s my plan xD

Anyway back to dramas… well this one’s American… I’ve got the entire first season of Heroes that I keep forgetting about since it’s on my external hard drive… really need to start on those cause the 2nd season is gonna start soon!

Oh, I watched Lovely Complex the movie. It was cute, although at some points Koizumi looked about the same height as Otani hahaha. Can’t wait for the next ep of Love Com the anime :P I’m glad that a lot of the series that I’m following will end soon - but that also means the fall season is about to start… hopefully I can restrain myself… have lots to do this term besides work!!

Besides Love Com, I’m really anxious to see how School Days turns out. At first it was so ecchi (well overall it still is) but oh the drama.

Don’t know what to think of D.gray-man. There seems to have been so much filler that it’s hard to get excited over the plot. And it’s kinda disappointing since it’s ending soon and nothing much is happening. Well, I’m gonna stick with it just because but I’m not expecting a lot.

Among other shows that are nearing their end (in terms of subs)…
- Darker Than Black: episodic, not much overall plot, nice animation though
- Lucky Star: random and normal at the same time - just the way I like it haha
- Romeo x Juliet: this is so far from the original play lol. It’s more love and light than the tragedy that it’s supposed to be, wonder how they will end it…?
- Murder Princess: typical anime stuffs. Downloaded the last ep, perhaps watch tonight or tomorrow… Paku Romi-san wa kakkoiiiii~ <3 her as Hitsugaya Toushirou and Osaki Nana
- Seto no Hanayome: well this was always stupid funny, and it still is… so yea.
- Zombie Loan: for some reason I got drawn into this show, like I would watch the next ep as soon as it’s out and I’ve downloaded it…
