   Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru Ep12 [END]
[Posted @ 9:23 PM]
Yeah sorry, I've been slacking the anime blogging lately haha. I'm still in the holiday mood ya know ... eating, drinking and merry making ha.

Summary to be updated.

I really like how they had Kana telling the other girls about the play she's playing then it's like refering to the scenes where Mizuho and Takako interacted. The climax was probably the scene where Takako cried ... manz, Takako must had felt so hurt, thinking that Mizuho leaving. I like the scene where Mariya went to chat with Takako too, Mariya really matured over the episodes and was actually pouring out her feelings to Takako ... well subtlety lol.

Oh yes, I love the scene where Michiko was like dragging Kei around and doing things her way lol, now we know who's wearing the pants in their relationship XD. The second best part was Mizuho and Takako were dancing and Takako told Mizuho to take responsibility cos he saw her body and kissed her lol. The best part was when Takako was about to confess to Mizuho ... 'Onee-sama, Watashi ... Su ...', turned and saw that she was holding on to Mariya LOL.

Art: 8/10 [As usual.]
Story: 9/10 [Wonderful ending, I mean it's just so Otoboku.]
Characters: 8.5/10 [Yes, Mariya and Takako are basically the same ... haha]
Overall: 9/10 [Enjoyed the series. I still can't believe Mizuho's a guy.]

Now, I wonder what the OVA/Ep13 of Otoboku would be in the DVDs ... Mizuho and Takako in a date!? That would be great if it's true ...

Oh yeah, here's my current additions to my Manga collection ...



The Day Of Revolution aka Kakumei no Hi [English] Volume 1, Iono The Fanatics [Mandarin] Volume 1 and Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~ [English] Volume 1.

Although they were all expensive ... I think I have no regrets ... haha ... well yeah ... I'm still waiting for Seven Seas' Strawberry Panic! Novel to come out ... just a few months more ...
Basically, I'm kinda happy with the translation of Seven Seas in Kashimashi ~Girl Meets Girl~, they kept the suffix and had explanations at the back of the book for it which I thought was great! They even kept the 'Moe' word in the Bonus Chapter LOL, however they didn't explain what 'Moe' means anyways ... ah, I think they're catering more those who know basic anime/otaku jargons. It's like reading a fansub hahaha ... except it's a darn expensive and legal version.

PS: If you notice from my other photos, yeah, mum painted the wall yellow recently ... lol

Kiddin, seriously, it's hot.





LoL, wasted alot of space ... XD. To see the full chapter, go to yamibo.com right now ... The summary will be up after I get the Mandarin version heh.

Brief pointers in Chapter 14,
- Makoto went on full steam to get the attention of the students in St Spica. The fan girls were head over heels, especially when Makoto gave more 'fanservice' than Amane did lol.
- Meanwhile Shizuma gave Nagisa [and us] some eye candy as she teased Nagisa while being pissed that she wouldn't be able to see Nagisa for two weeks because of the Second Round of the Etoile Battle, 'Faceless Devil'
- Trouble brews between the St Spica couple, Amane and Hikari, will they be able to stand two weeks apart from each other!? Yaya confessed to Hikari that she likes her, Hikari smiled and replied that she likes Yaya too ... Yaya couldn't control her feelings and embraced Hikari but is Hikari's 'like' the same as Yaya's 'like'!?

Stay tune lol.

   Anime Titles To Blog This 2007
[Posted @ 6:09 PM]
I'm not a one who always keep her promises so I'm not going to waste a post to list my whatever Resolution for 2007 lol. Instead, I'm going to talk what anime titles I'm going to blog this coming 2007 =). Well, there's only two and needless to say, there's some shoujo-ai in both titles.

First up, Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora. Basically, I'm watching this cos there's a Chikane look-alike and Himeko look-alike and they seemed to be a angsty couple in this anime LOL. Besides, the main character, Kyoshiro for the main straight couple's kinda hot too ... ohhh his seiyuu's also the seiyuu for Soubi in Loveless ... + 50 hotness XD.

I read skim through the RAW of volume 1 of kyoshiro-sora and there's quite a bit of references from Kannazuki no Miko ... mainly character style wise. Seemed like Chikane look-alike .. OKAY OKAY her name's Kaon, alright, geez, she's the reluctant baddie here. Himeko look-alike ... geez, her name's Himiko, seemed to be Kaon's mana source or something. Anyways, I'm not really sure, I'm just guessing here and there, so I'm awaiting Episode 1 which is coming out on Jan 5th 2007. The synopsis of Episode 1 and some screenshots were out in the offical website, so check it out.



The second title would be Venus Versus Virus. I read the manga, there's some subtle hints of shoujo-ai at first between Rucia [I really prefer using 'R' then 'L', cos 'R' gives a ... sensual feeling to the name LOL] and Sumire. BUT ... from Volume 2 onwards ... my hopes are getting dimmer and dimmer lol. Well, I hope the anime's different.

And, sadly, the seiyuu of Rucia's not Nabatame Hitomi ... *sob sob* however I'm still giving this title a shot ... so if I'm happy with episode 1, I will continue blogging this.

Oh yes, I was watching Negima!? Seiyuu Christmas Party Special just now, the seiyuus in the special were, Satou Rina [Seiyuu of Negi], Kanda Akemi [Seiyuu of Asuna], Nonaka Ai [Seiyuu of Konoka] and Kobayashi You [Seiyuu of Setsuna]. It was freaking hell funny, especially at the scene when the main event's Kobayashi Yuu's version + drawing of the story of the girl who sells matchsticks. See the screenshots I made for yourself before you say anything lol.



Pure ... evil lol. The other seiyuus were like laughing their guts out lol. Especially the seiyuu of Asuna, Kanda Akemi-san. The rest were doing well till they saw scene 5 and 6 lol. The girls kept laughing and giggling as Yuu-chan dutifully narrates the story for them lol, I think she's just occupied with reading the words pasted behind the board than looking at the girls' reactions and laughters lol. The big question of the scene was ... who's the matchstick girl!? LOL Yuu-chan seriously pointed out that it's the ... um stick figure with the red scarf on lol. When Yuu-chan brought the drawing closer to the cam screen twice, Akemi-chan was shrieking 'Don't put it so near!!' twice LoL, poor Yuu-chan was so ... embarrassed.

Besides that, they had presents which the seiyuu prepared themselves to give to the audience [I think] and they decorated christmas cakes. Ai-chan did a great job with the Secchan cake she made lol so did Rina-chan who did a Negi cake.

Anyways, gotta do finish up blogging Otoboku ... so cya later.

Ohh, I'm getting really busy with two titles in my hand haha ... Doropanda Tours doujinshis are really tough to translate and edit as usual so I'll be taking a longer time to post the next two pages. Hope you enjoy the cover and the teaser page anyways =).

On to my rants for today, I watched Death Note 2 : The Last Name this afternoon XD, it was okay la ... I kinda enjoyed it but it seemed like those who read the manga doesn't enjoy as much la lol. [Even if the endings are similar -.-|||] Oh I watched Charlotte's Web too, lol at 11.30 AM then watched Death Note 2 at 3.00 PM. In between we had the double whopper burger at Burger King ... almost died of fullness haha.

Oh yes, I bought the Mandarin version of 'Family Complex' by Mikiyo Tsuda [Pen-name for shoujo titles] aka Zaou Taishi [Pen-name for Shounen-ai/Yaoi titles]. I really like her art style so I bought it lol. The Comics Connection shop keeper was helpful enough to even recommend 'Princess Princess' to me too XD. At first he said the Mandarin name of the title, then I went huh? Then he said 'Princess Princess' ... then I went ohhh and said no thanks cos there's English version lol.

Okay, gotta watch Inuyasha cya.

PS: I didn't forget about Otoboku ... gimme some time.

   Negima!? Ep12
[Posted @ 10:01 AM]
I can't stop laughing lol.

A Konoka and Setsuna special moment in the beginning. As they lazied around on a sunny, sunday afternoon, Setsuna recalled how she and Konoka met when they were young. A little different from the manga as there's no Setsuna saving Konoka from rushing river memories lol. Just sweet memories of Setsuna playing this badminton with Konoka and not long after, Setsuna left for training. Unlike in the manga, Setsuna actually revealed her status in front of Konoka as her protector/body guard. Back to present, Konoka woke up from her light nap, as she stretched, she began to slip down, luckily Setsuna's there to hold her. In her haste, Setsuna accidentally exclaimed, 'Kono-chan'. [Kono-chan, a nickname Setsuna used to call Konoka when they were young. Meanwhile, Konoka continues to call Setsuna, Secchan.] Konoka was delighted to hear that but Setsuna kept apologizing and saying she can't do that. Konoka called Setsuna a meanie lol. Setsuna apologized again. Konoka then said, 'Naa, wanna kiss?' Setsuna was like 'EHHHHHHHHHHHH!!??' LOL. Giggling, Konoka added, 'Just joking ...' Setsuna smiled and in her mind she thought that she would protect Konoka Ojou-sama forever even if it takes her life to do so. [Aww~]

Picking up from the previous episode, Yue's running away from the Chupacabra club members and the inevitable kiss. Black Rose Baron appeared and asked Yue if she wanna kiss, then added that he's joking and left LOL. Suddenly, another voice called Yue, it's Motsu this time in this ... ugly mask outfit ... anyways, as Yue started to walk away, Motsu asked if Yue knows the secret of Negi. Yue was like 'Eh!?' 'Ah!' 'Iya~' 'Sono ...' 'Ah~~!' LOL while Motsu imitated her when suddenly Haruna stomped on Motsu. Yue ran away again while Negi, Haruna and Nodoka chasing after her. Motsu and Shichimi began to suspect if Yue saw Negi's magic and too chased after her. The Chupacabra club members then separated into teams to look for Yue. Haruna and Negi went to the Mahora pool who were occupied by Ako, Akira, Ayaka, Misora and Yuuna. Negi's embarrassed when he saw his face on Ayaka's swimsuit LOL. Haruna asked the girls if they saw Yue, when they got a negative answer, they left to search for other place. The girls were puzzled why they were looking for Yue. Meanwhile, Takahata-sensei's rather busy with eliminating the dark shadows. Camo, Negi and Haruna then parted ways to search for Yue, Negi's worried that his magic licensed might get revoked and asked his Nekane Onee-chan what he should do. Negi then revealed his true feelings by tearing a bit. Kaede called Negi on his mobile to inform him to hurry to where she's as they found Yue lol.

With her super fast speed, Kaede caught up with Yue, but lost her when Yue threw her BANANA drink on the floor and made Kaede slipped LOL. Yue hid in the toilet, regreting about knowing Negi's secret as a mage and debating about kissing. Meanwhile, Chiu um I mean Chisame's busy recording a line for her Chiu persona when suddenly Asuna arrived and asked if she saw Yue. Chisame quickly covered her computer screen, replied no and told Asuna to get out, feeling a little suspicious, Asuna wanted to see what Chisame's hiding in her computer screen lol. Before Asuna could see, Nodoka told her that Yue's hiding in school and they rushed off. Relieved that Asuna didn't see it, Chisame turned and saw Makie and Ku Fei looking at her computer screen with Makie reading the line of her Chiu persona LOL. Yue's in the astronomy club room with Chizuru and Natsumi. Seemed like Yue's there to consult with Chizuru about the kissing thing. Chizuru merely replied to just do it already lol and even asked what kind of level of kissing Yue's refering LOL. Natsumi and Yue were shocked by Chizuru's forwardness. As they were talking, Camo, Haruna and Negi's voices were heard from outside the room. Yue then escaped from the backdoor which Chizuru provided lol. Asuna and Nodoka then met up with Konoka and Setsuna who were enjoying ice-cream lol and told them about finding Yue. Camo, Haruna and Negi lost sight of Yue again. Haruna suggested to use magic to search for Yue or something, Camo then realized that they could probably use Haruna's artifact powers to locate Yue.

However, Haruna's artifact, a sketch book could only bring what she drew on it to life which was ... practically useless in finding Yue lol. Yue seemed to be in the building's rooftop thinking about a kiss with Negi and felt that although she doesn't dislike Negi, she had to think of Nodoka's feelings for Negi. As Yue's musing over her decision, Motsu and Shimichi heard her and forced her to say it out. Yue distracted them by telling them that, 'Ah, Sammo Hung's there!' LOL, and they actually fell for it. [What's up with Sammo Hung here, is one of the Negima!? producers a Sammo Hung fan? LoL] With that, Yue made her decision. Takahata-sensei's having trouble eliminating the dark shadows and Black Rose Baron got the upper hand to him. [!? Takahata-sensei's that WEAK!? God.] As the Chupacabra club members were gathered in the same spot, worried about not finding Yue, Yue suddenly ran towards them and rushed forward to kiss Negi. Camo activated the pactio. Negi thanked Yue for it, Yue glanced at Nodoka's reaction and she smiled. Yue felt relieved. As they thought that Negi's secret's been saved, they looked around them and realized that the WHOLE class had witness the pactio scene LOL. Motsu and Shichimi had already reported to the magic academy, revoked Negi's license and turned Negi into … Chupacabra! Just then, the dark shadow took over the whole school, engulfing the whole class in the illusion! What will happen with Negi’s powers gone!? - END -


Chibi Nodoka's been added to the ED XD.


Chachamaru's next!? I seriously laughed really hard at Motsu's imitations of Yue's expressions LOL.

'Eh!?' 'Ah!' 'Iya~' 'Sono ...' 'Ah~~!'

*Stomp*

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! I repeated that probably ten over times lol.

Ah, it was kinda amusing to see 'fluffy toys censors' in Haruna's transformation scene ... lol since Negima!? aired in the evening slot. If only Negima!? series is more like the Spring and Summer OVAs ... oh yeah.

Love the first part about Konoka and Setsuna, especially when Konoka asked if Setsuna wanna kiss lol. Konoka's such a teaser XD.

Nothing serious in the episode that is till the end where Negi got turned to Chupacabra haha. It's more about Yue's short I mean SHORT struggle over her feelings whether to kiss Negi or not because of Nodoka's feelings. I was thinking of more angst like in the manga, whoa, it's like so well developed but it feels kinda rushed in the anime. Basically, I can see that Yue had decided so easily was due to two things, one, according to The Expert Chizuru, kiss [as in lips to lips] is pretty normal and common in some countries. Negi's a foreigner so, maybe kiss is something like bread and butter? LoL. Secondly, pressure from Motsu and Shichimi LOL, I'm beginning to love the duo, damn funny.

Art: 7.5/10 [As usual.]
Story: 7/10 [Ohhh, it's building up, Negi's been turn to a Chupacabra!]
Characters: 7/10 [+10 to Motsu LOL.]
Overall: 7/10
