post 12: To Not Have a romantic comedy life is a good laugh


(yaa) Haro! Has anyone watch oregairu / Yahari Ore No seishun Love comedy wa machigatteiru / My youth romantic comedy is wrong as I expected? Because if you do you'd probably know how exactly my greeting (Ya haro) would sound like. The way the characters do it are so cute.
*imagine me doing so*
*got a (internal) comment from Hikigaya Hachiman; What is that, some sort of a retarded trend of greetings?*

He did say that ,internally, in regards to all those whom greet that way (except when Totsuka Saika did it/which was such a funny scene since Hikigaya was like"Oh my god so cute.we all should greet like that"/ you just call it retarded and now you want it started/ =.=/good joke good joke.

Ahh~ yes I probably stepped in the topic with the wrong foot. As a proper introduction Oregairu is a story about a high school student Hikigaya Hachiman (a boy with rotten eyes or beady eyes (reminded me of Levi's) /mention so many times) who is so proud of his loner's life. He refuses to interacts, go against the trend and well , regard youth as a threat, wrote in a career survey form that he refuses to work.This lead to his teacher/ counselor to force him to join a volunteer service club at his school.There he met the most beautiful girl in school, Yukinoshita Yukino (which of course is another problematic student that has her own problem on her side of story /unclear yet as of now)
Well, that was about it on the summary. The story basically follows the everyday life of Hachiman and Yukino when people came to them for help and another lead character, Yuigahama Yui (female) would came in an episode later by becoming their first ever client together.

This series is an adaptation of a light novel by Watari Wataru. It is a popular series and  not overrated at all, it deserves it.
It has a well-developed plot and characters and not to mention, funny!

This series was aired in 2013. I didn't know what it was that time .One of my friends mentioned it quite a few times saying things about the characters and the story.
I wasn't that intrigued about it (tbh because I thought the main genre would be romance/ not good with that genre that much/and oh how I was wrong to judge an anime by it's title).
Then I decided to watch it.Oh how I was so wrong. It wasn't your typical romantic comedy anime at all. It has the romance bits in it but not too much. It was in an almost perfect cropped up experience according to a reality scale/in other words it's not those story where each episode they just gets closer and have this moment of intimation and fall in love, rather it is something you can say-you possibly have experience (not completely)- things like, this girl try to grab the attention of the boy but got ignored or distracted, some other series have these.
In another "other" words, it is a slow progressing, (painful even) , serious, unseen romance thread pulling on the one that is loved , yes just like irl.

Moving on to the scenario writing , it is amazing, i should say. To transform a real-life loner kind of thing into someone this amazing (smart, cool, wise-like y'know bad-assed characters with some cool (in this series- also includes harsh/pitiable) quotes on his sleeves) is not a surprising thing but the fact that this "amazing" person I talked about is the villain to other supporting characters' eyes is.
I was expecting "I-am-a-loner-and-you-might-think-I-am-creepy-with-my-rotten-eyes-and-all-but-I-just-saved-your-day-so-you-like-me-and-appointed-me-as-the-president" / just sayin .
That is in fact, common. The hero with "not-good" reputation so kind that everybody put aside bad rumors about him and make him king of harem.
This was different.
Well I don't want to spoil things so I will leave it to there.
There are alot of interesting and amusing characters . My personal favorites is Zaimokuza /look out for him . He is so funny , very! Oh and there's the little sister of Hikigaya , Komachi (voiced by yet again my beloved Aoi Yuuki) too.

The art is not bad, in fact it looks good. The second season and the first season differs in the character design because they changed the studio which was put in charge of it.It is said that the second season's Hikigaya character design looked more closely similar to the light novel's than the first season. Yes, while the art of the first season wasn't bad in itself , the second was better. In fact, Hikigaya looks more "good-looking" and "gentle" in the 2nd season and I seriously like that" rotten eyes" of his. It is a feature that stand out.

The OP song and Ed are lovable. Both OPs are sung by Yanagi Nagi(hearts hearts) while the Ed are sung by both main female seiyuus.

The story as I said is very well developed ( currently there are 5 episodes of the second season).
I felt very emotional watching it to the point I could just cry. There are parts where I could relate myself to but most of all it is the personality of our MC that makes me suffer.
He had a well constructed background story that supports his actions but unfortunately those are never enough to justify them. Sometimes people would say he is so cruel in the way he do things but to me (and his dearest company, he is after all human). He has his own reason for the way he do things.
This story doesn't lie. It present you with harsh view of the reality world.
This story reveal the reality of how the society handle things: black hole in the human hearts.
It also shows how you are never right all the time.The characters did alot of wrong things and there are consequences one after another. 
This story has a good character development.This is obvious if looking from the personality of the major characters : Hikigaya , Yukinoshita and Yuigahama . It may be unseen at some point and at some part of the story they would just go back what they called "normal" old-selves(again with the reality check in which most won't change for the better so easily) but still it is one of the most obvious aspect of the story. You could see they went through hardships(both within and outside the club) and realised things along the way , whether it be good or bad things about the society. Just saying the right things as a hero doesn't make things right and arguments would follow.This eventually give a positive light to their characters and allow them to grow little by little.

Hero are never always right and this series perfectly presented that. Hikigaya is always rejected for solving problems in a harsh way , even if it earns him a perfect solution; the problem is solved and that people would hate him and distanced themselves away from him.

Hikigaya may seems like a cold person but he is actually an emphatic person . This is shown by how he is easily on friendly terms with Saika  and the club members . It also took him no longer to actually begins caring for people . This could also be proven by the number of times he actually wanted to be friend with Yukinoshita.
Because he had always been a no-face kind of person , when faced with a problem, he went ahead with a solution (usually him as the bad guy) that would benefits the people with faces that need to be maintained (despite him hating superficial people and relationships) only to be hurt later.Due to this, people around him who knew his selfish motives (to make people hate him, and not that he cares about it because he always been alone all this time according to what he said -not that he'd believe that-leading him to accuse himself as the most superficial person) would feel guilty and hurt (in this case,most obvious would be Yuigahama) that he have to carry all the burdens by himself. Hikigaya knew what the world is like and that is why he doesn't want to be hurt and thus puts himself in the corner.
Hikigaya have his own hesitation at times eg. he would start to say something to argue but later swallow it back in his mouth when people shot daggers at him.
In the latest episode (ep 5) Hikigaya realised his mistakes when he experienced what it feel like to have your friends handle the burden to themselves and he changed the way he solve a particular problem they were given.He found a reason to change his way of solving the problem for once so that the club remained as it is supposed to be. This reason was provided to him by Komachi. Unfortunately, at the end of that episode he had said he might be making the wrong thing in regards to Yukinoshita remark of him unable to understand her. Well I will leave that there. I am looking forward to what kind of problem next that would trigger his change. He said so himself , "Some people are unable to act unless when they are faced a reason, found a reason," This applies both to him and Yukinoshita.

Yukinoshita Yukino the most beautiful and smartest girl in the school, is a cool and stoic, cold girl.
Due to her appearances , she said, many boys approached her with romantic motive and this, resulted in her being bullied by her girl classmates. Yukinoshita unlike our hero decided not to cower (as she said it but was argued back by Hikigaya) and changed herself.
She would always give back to her bullies for what they did. She also hate superficial things and she doesn't actually have any friends except for Yuigahama when she joined them.
She is good with her words/insults and always seem to argue with Hikigaya.
According to Hikigaya her stares are cold like of that of a wild beast (in the LN)
There aren't that many things known about Yukinoshita (Hikigaya being an observant person still couldn't understand her). Her past and family matters remained clouded but as the story progress she is seen to be much more caring and softening (especially to Yuigahama). However, the actions taken by Hikigaya always set the both of them in a huge disagreement and followed by silence treatment from both party.At this point, it wasn't clear (yet) whether that she hated him/his ways because she had known him to care for him- though she did say the opposite of it- or because of his selfishness of not wanting to change.
Yukinoshita being the second child of a prominent family seems to have trouble regarding her perfect older sister. Her older sister would always poked her nose in her business and say mean things to her just to provoke her into actions.
Yukinoshita might seem to be not making much contribution or appearances compared to Yuigahama (I might be wrong) but she actually plays a great role because her personality actually give a reason for Hikigaya to act thus contributing to his character's development.Hikigaya is also seen comfortable with her twice; at the 1st episode where he thought that they might be similar and at another episode where he thought maybe they are unalike at all thus the reason for his peace by being by her side.

Yuigahama is a cheerful, kind girl that belong in a popular group. At first she never talked to Hikigaya in their class but as the story progress her relationship with him become visible even to her popular friends. She values her friendship with the popular people (despite realizing how superficial it could be) because she wanted to feel belong (She seems to have a battle of her own in the past having come this far to earn a sense of belonging). As she gets closer to Yukinoshita, she remained faithful and value both friendship and even go as far as to go against her popular friends to defend Hikigaya. Unlike the loner Hikigaya and the untrusting Yukinoshita, Yuigahama's character is a cheerful and friendly one, creating a balance for the club. She wears her hearts on her sleeves which she could be seen always smiling and at times crying . This are unlike the two other characters who kept their emotions hidden. She always regards herself as useless and always find herself in a situation where she was unable to do anything to overcome the tension that always happen between Hikigaya and Yukinoshita.She also tends to regard them both as selfish and unfair as they tend to do things by themselves while leaving her in the middle of it with clean hands
Yuigahama supports the club in alot of ways in terms of her connections with her peers.
Yuigahama has a deep affection for Hikigaya and at one point - almost confess/talk about moment killer/ but Hikigaya seems to pushed this side of her away though afraid of having too much hopes on her.
In other words, Yuigahama is a character that supports the other two major characters and I strongly believe this story won't work without her!

Phew that is one long post. The thing with me is that I like to reread and edit my posts in case there's any grammatical error(always!)  . Anyway I am anticipating the rest of the episodes . I really want to understand Hikigaya Hachiman to a certain depth ( he's keeping me awake all night last night =.= in an analytical-I-am-trying-to-figure-you-out) so I am reading the LN right now to get his point of views in a complete narrative way.You can read it here ^^

All in all , You should give it a go! There's only 13 episodes in the first season and there would be another 13 for the 2nd one.
And seriously there's nothing to be embarrassed about watching a 2013-anime-when-it's-already-2015 . We respect newcomers (otherwise how else would people get involved in the anime industry if people keep on intimidating others of this kind of thing/just sayin). (Otherwise , just say it like this "Oregairu 2 is this year's spring anime so in order to catch it , I need to watch the 1st one)/just sayin again.Not convinced ? go find some other better reviews and be convinced!!

Hulo there, Here is a drawing I did yesterday. I drew Leonard (Kekkai Sensen) as well but it's still in progress *laughs* , wonder whether I would continue or not.

This drawing is basically saying ; Dance with the nature , those strangers around you that shouldn't be a strangers after all . Dance With them while there is still hope .

There are patches on the fox and the bg . This represents the ruin of the environment that we are all facing now; climate changes, endangered animals , global warming etc.
And yeah , human being part of the nature/world are affected in alot of ways.So try to get along with the nature and make this world a better place.

post 10: Symphony that did it things

Hey, did you notice how nonsense my post's title are? Yes they definitely are not related to what I am always about to say *Laughs* but oh well , nevermind .

Anyway , I watched some animes last week (I started my part-time/whatev you call it/ again).
I picked up Hibike! euphonium and Kekkai Sensen . I totally enjoy both! (especially Kekkai Sensen).
Hibike! euphonium as expected of KyoAni have beautiful animation (and so moe) while Kekkai Sensen would contain alot of actions and have a American Vibe.

Talking about Kekkai Sensen,I felt myself falling (IN LOVE) with Leonard Watch (and that monkey, sonic) *laughs*( In a journey to find more male characters to love) . The story is great and is funny.The characters are lovable . The animation is superb (not surprising since it is directed by the same director as Kyousougiga). I'm looking forward and have quite a high expectation for this series .

The OP and Ed are lovable; "Hello world" Bump Of Chicken and "Sugar Song To Bitter Step"Unison Square Garden .I like the ED animation, so jazzy. The soundtracks matched the environment (New York Style).

Well then , (Wait, did I came to just say that?!)

Post 9: Turn On the stars

Hulo there. There wasn't much that happened today. I had the interview and wow, it was very quick just like what they stated in the email. Got a written test . I panicked because I saw a chemistry , physic and maths question. I didn't see that coming! Moreover we were only given 5 minutes (><).

They turn out pretty simple (5 questions? altogether); question 1. what is Photovoltaic effect (I did not know what this is so I put in the definition of Photoelectric instead.The real answer was more simpler than I anticipated. It is merely the concept behind solar cell : the transformation of solar energy into electricity. I will surely remember that.)

The second question was a balancing chemical equation question.I hope I got that right. The third question was regarding the "nano" power. Then came the mechanic maths question. Simple yeah but tricky. Then the last question ... so shameful of me. It was a surds question and I panicked because I didn't have my calculator with me . So, I calculated , working the multiplications that reached thousand units.Then it hit me. All of the number are the exact square root of a number lol. The answer was one . All those workings for nothing. The assessors would smile looking at my scribbled paper because They Got Me there!

However ,Alhamdulillah it was all good!

Well then,

AniYuuki

#8 Falling Beyond

Assalamualaikum (May Peace Be upon You)

Post 8 : Falling Beyond

Today I wanted to write a (lame) review on Shingeki No Kyojin (Isayama Hajime) spin-off OVAs ; Kuinaki Sentaku (A choice With No Regret / ACWNR).

Warning: This May contain spoilers
This OVAs is an adpatation from a spin-off manga by Suruga Hikaru (Artist) and Sunaaku Gan (Author) which was later made canon / official.The first part of the OVA was released last year and the part 2 was released just recently.
This is a spin-off story featuring two famous characters from the original series; Levi and Erwin Smith.
This OVAs tell the story of their first encounter in which neither two were in a good term with each other especially Levi , who could not see what Erwin see and seek for that Levi was a resident of the underground city , a city filled with criminals, unwanted people ," garbage" the capital say and all he care about is his friends.

Before watching , I read the manga and it was good. Levi seem as usual, cool, though you could tell there were something different about him. Yes, after all time and experience changes people. The mangakas did a great job in maintaining some orders of the original series and the plot was well written.
Reading the mangas , I felt very emotional because I knew what would happen.
At the last chapter , the part where Levi's friend , namely Isabel and Farlan died was just so dramatic (especially Isabel, the way she died while calling out "Big Brother" sent my tears rolling down).
I didn't expect to cry , really! Mainly because I already knew THAT was going to happen but still it was so upsetting. Seeing Levi go Berserk after that killing more than one titans at one go made my heart breaks . To be honest, I didn't cry when Levi Squad in the original series (Petra and gang) died but when I read ACWNR , flashes of those scenes came and made me cry more. That was the moment I understood the title and Levi's famous words , "I  wouldn't know whether those choices are right...(yeah you know it!)".

So continuing on the OVAs. The first part was fine , The chasing between Erwin and Levi is so awesome. The second part , well I could only say I expected too much from it. As an OVA , it is obvious not all scenes would be the same eg. the number of titans that Levi fight at the end was reduced mainly because I think it's reasonable *laughs* . I still wish that dramatic "anikii!" moment would be included (But of course this wasn't done mainly because in the OVA , Isabel came in later on her own while in the manga , Levi saved the little Isabel from starvation and thus form their aniki-bond which would be deeper I suppose than in the OVA . Nevertheless, I am so jealous that you , Isabel ,got a head ruffle from Levi!!) .
Instead there were no scenes on how Farlan and Isabel died which would left audience wondering in horror because the battle field (whatev) filled with dead bodies was a horrifying sight which then add more after Levi fought the titan . It was a blood-filled scenes and alot of rage.I was also disappointed that Sayram (a character from the manga , a guy that always pick on Isabel) didn't exist in the OVA. I was looking forward to him. Lastly Erwin did not appear that much and even if he does he seems so cold *brrrr* and I was like "go take him down,". Don't get me wrong , I do get why he did what he did . It's just that it lacks explanation/he did not explain himself fully just like he did in the manga. In the OVA he only said things about Lovoff and things like "Levi humanity needs you" (oh there were a few cool lines "If you begin to regret, you'll dull your future decisions and let others make your choices for you. All that's left for you then is to die. Nobody can foretell the outcome. Each decision you make holds meaning only by affecting your next decision." ) and that, oddly, made Levi obey. No thoughts on Levi part. Like they did not show what he felt about titans or humanity and stuff . All I saw was that he just agreed and wanted to see what Erwin see. In the manga , his thoughts were portrayed well . His doubts were visible and Erwin words at the last were convincing that I was convinced that Levi is convinced that fighting for humanity is the right thing *laughs*. Erwin managed to convince Levi that he wasn't the cause of his friends death but instead it was the titan and well, that is pretty convincing to persuade a person to join hands  with him for the sake of humanity.

All in All it was fine. It's just a past and the main part was shown clearly so that was all that matters. Animation improved and this made me excited for the second season! I suggest those who had watched the OVA and didn't make any plan for the manga to make a room for it!
There are extra stories which I found so hilarious and there were some cute scenes between Isabel and her aniki , Levi .(BTW aniki is another word for big brother other than the common onii-chan).


Done that.

Earlier I have watched Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica Movie 3 : Rebellion, finally! I could only say wow! It was again, written well.I was surprised at how better it was than the series despite the series already being "great". So I went to search the writer (shame on me for not doing so earlier). It was written by Gen Urobuchi. A great writer known for his dark styles. Some of his works include the anime Psycho-Pass and light-novel Fate/Zero.
He successfully brought the magical girl sub-genre into a new level. 
The movie started with a battle scene with an enemy different from the series. As usual the graphic manage to give me goosebumps along with the beautiful-yet-scary-suit-to-the-theme soundtracks (forgot to mention, composed by Yuki Kajiura).The animation was better  and beautiful(as expected of Shaft). There were alot of unexpected things but things that would be realized.
Such as the development of the main character, Akemi Homura which just left me hanging there.
There were lots of explanation as well such as how exactly The New Law Of Cycle works and how witches are born and again we were shown with the behaviors of the incubator. This time around, I found Kyuubey -whom I still found cute and acceptable at the end of the series- alot creepier and he made me want to kill him with my own hands .So cruel!
That was indeed a masterpiece.The ending was hanging, endless . Well, that was something not odd because the theme this series touch was the cycle of life. It just kept on going around , hope ,despair, chasing one another.Endless. Thinking how those two middle school girls (Madoka and Homura) carry such burdens made me tired i guess because it's an endless thing. It's something I could relate in real life. Emotions are a source of something. Despair , kindness they are all related to one another.

To some people what they do are the right thing but to some it might not. So Kindness could create pain for other.Those were the concepts the magical girls and the story were made from. Magical girls as a source of energy , when they lose all hope that is.

There an addition of a character in the movie. The fighting scenes were animated well. Oh gosh! I shall salute Shaft and Aniplex for that!

Well then rating: 10/10 for the movie.

Again ClariS song is in the movie (^^ Imma fan!)

end Of Spoiler LOL

Anyway look what I did tonight, despite the fact that I am going to have an interview (yes again!) tomorrow.

#7 The Eccentrics' Mind

Assalamualaikum (May peace be upon you)

Post 7: An exciting day

Hulo there! Today there's been alot of things going on.
First of all, a friend of mine , I will refer her as Snow white (Snow sometimes okay, I-am-too-lazy)
well she told me she finished watching Shingeki No Kyojin / Attack On Titan / AoT or SnK.
I  first recommended the series to her around February this year (speaking of which , today marks 2 month since I recommended it to her).
These are the animes I recommended to her last year
-Zankyou No Terror (An obsession of mine for a short time)
-Yumeiro Patissiere (All time fav!)
-Wake Up Girls
-Ouran High Host Club
-Love Live! School Idol Festival

But she didn't watch any of them ( I thinkk) except for Ouran High *laughs*, which marks the how-many-times failure in making my friend to watch animes / what I watch and the evidence on how annoying I can be.Unfortunately , she didn't complete Ouran either.
Then one day , while sitting on the foyer of our school and with all the things -we came  to school for- done, I was browsing my ipad's gallery which was full with my snk pictures colle (Mostly from pixiv , doujins and stuffs). Then I don't remember the detail but I think I showed a picture to her.. or was it her saying a character look cool? Well either way it was a snk's pic.

BTw Snow is one of my friend I share songs with especially OOR songs and some anime songs and she would also recommend some k-pop songs (mostly exo). I actually wanted to share snk with her last year along with the other animes(Oh am I glad I didn't do that ) but I was worried if she could cope with the violence *laughs* ( I am sorry ~).

 So anyway, continuing on the school part. I started telling her of what kind anime snk is.
I told her it's filled with action and that maybe she would like it. Sometimes I stopped talking about it then I would continue and stop and continue until our parents picked us up.
Later that afternoon , I shared with her three different trailers *talk about being a nuisance* and she said she would watch it.

 I did not disturb her for a few weeks and suddenly she texted me to ask about snk. Then that day I found out she watched them in the wrong orders *laughs* . Yes, series can be confusing especially ones that have movies and OVAs and she did watched the OVAs first . And those OVAs got her attention and interest quickly.
Moreover she met Levi (in the series) earlier than the rest of us did ahaha and she said that he looked cool (You got it right).

And so, after that I would from times to times asked her which episode she was watching at the moment. And finally she finished ^^
Yayy!!

Success.

So right now I am bugging her with alot of questions. Never mind if I was ignored . Just an excitement on my part.
I hope she would read the comic because there are lots to discuss *.*
For reasons I couldn't tell, when I watched snk last year I wasn't that surprised by the people's deaths and stuffs . Maybe because I read the manga first but even so.. I wasn't surprise reading it either. Now, entering the fandom I am enthusiastically anticipating manga updates and pray in my heart that no one important will meet their grave soon. (T.T) Yesh , I feel much more emotions when I read the manga now than I did last year which is , a good thing. It meant that the manga (or just me) is well written and there are soo many good character's development.

Aaaah why I am going out of topic rn?

Anyway, today I chatted with my friends. Yes, my lovely friends in our  group. we reintroduced ourselves. I knew alot more about them today. It was random but it was worth it ^^
I miss them alot.

Then one of my Friend , Sleeping Princess, what should I call her in short? Pikachu then.
Well, she stated she just watched snk earlier. That caught my eyes . Well we fangirl for abit. Me, at least. I can't wait for her to finish watching, there would be more to spaz to.

I also watched episode 3 of Arslan Senki (Also known as The Heroic Legend Of Arslan). It is an anime adaptation from a manga of the same name with Arakawa Hiromu (known for Fullmetal Alchemist , and when I first saw the promotional trailer I automatically thought of him).The manga is an adaptation of a novel written by Tanaka Toshiki !! I heard it was well-written.

Well, it tell a story about a young boy prince (again this caught my interest) of a kingdom called Pars. On autumn days, war befall them . Escaping the destruction of his kingdom, he went on a journey and begins to assemble a group of five (which consist of various people from priestess, artist to his attendant) to aid him fight against the invaders. Together, they must build an army and defeat 300,000 trained soldiers—including the mysterious Lord Silver Mask—who has also laid claim to the throne of Pars. (Parts of Summary taken from: MyAnimeList ).

When I watched the first episode I find the environment interesting. Yes I found out that Pars is a name of one of the province in Iran so the environment somehow fits.The character design really do reminded me of FMA. The first episode serves as an introduction of the ruling system and the status of their country and also the personality of young prince Arslan whom started as a weak character (and I am expecting more from him as the story grows).
Another thing that caught me was the Ending song. Sang by Eir Aoi , the song called Lapiz Lazuli reminded me of animes from like, ten years back. It gave me a nostalgic feeling for unknown reason . I am anticipating for the single's release.
Watching episode 2 , the opening song(since episode 1 didn't feature it) caught me next. "Boku no Kotoba dewa nai korewa bokutachi no kotoba" sung by Uverworld is a song that made me bang *laughs* my head in rhythm .The lyrics was interesting.The song title meant "This is our words not mine" . I am listening to it alot of times .
Both episode 3 and 2 covered the war part and the characters involved in it. I personally felt that it was quite long for two episodes to cover that arch but it was necessary I guess. I will wait for the next episode and until the end, ep 12 and by then will write a complete review (be reminded this is just a review based on the first three aired episodes). Hopefully it would live up to my expectations (*w*) and be able to fit the rest of the events /archs into the remaining episodes without rushing.

Next thing I wanted to talk about is Denpa Kyoushi. Denpa Kyoushi which meant "He Is An Ultimate Teacher!" caught my interest last year mainly because I have never read any mangas that involve teaching as the main subject and because I AM interested in that subject.
Unfortunately I dropped the work because I was forced to make a very hard decision to pick which mangas I really really want to keep on my Firefox's tabs (there were too many of them and I didn't want to slow down the browser nor did I like bookmarking mangas mainly because there are too many of them already).
Once the anime was released ,  I was happy to be reunited with it again. The first thing that caught me when I watched it were the seiyuus. Apparently , Hiroshi Kamiya (seiyuus of Levi/snk and Yato/noragami) voiced Junichiro Kagami the MC . That, honestly, excites me *laughs*. Then , the imouto , Suzune was voiced by a fresh/new seiyuu. I like her voice , it was different from what I expected it to be. Though to be honest there is something odd with it. Like it's off-personality or something . I do like her voice , honestly, and I look forward to her next role.
 Just like I said , her voice kept me stay because there's like an edge to her voice. Maybe I would get used to it or she could adjust it as the story progress.
I really like the ED song of this series . It is called Dreamin' by Tokyo Performance Doll.
The story so far is just like how the manga progress though they did skipped some scenes though not very important.
I would continue and stay put for now.
Anime producers Fight! (hahah what? )Anticipating for some summer animes.


Well then,

Quote of the day:
My mom told me, it's better to trust people than to doubt them. She said that people aren't born with kind hearts. When we're born, all we have are desires for food and material things. Selfish instincts, I guess. But she said that kindness is something that grows inside of each person's body, but it's up to us to nurture that kindness in our hearts. That's why kindness is different for every person.. - Honda Tohru , Fruit Basket

#6 Wandering and more of it

post 6 : Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost J.R.R Tolkien

I am quite surprised to find that it's already the sixth post *laughs*.

"Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost" J.R.R Tolkien , I remembered buying two of my friends a pouch with an illustration of a map and the mentioned quote from Typo in Malaysia as souvenirs.
At that time , I thought the quote as simply "Just because he keeps on walking around the school doesn't mean that he doesn't have any sense of direction/ a goal" or things like that. Well, perhaps because that's me , the guy who walked around the school compound and yes at that time I didn't have a sense of direction. I walked around in circle not knowing why.

Then , being in a situation I would truly call lost , I understood another perspective meaning. To the me right now it means "There are people who took an indirect path to success " .So it means that it doesn't matter if you're feeling like your job is not right , or you feel the need to change your courses , just do what you think is right without rush and surely at the end of the day you will see that what you did is right .

This also reminded me of what Kaname Madoka's mother said in one of the episodes "If your friend is always doing the right thing but that things is making things worse for her, then do the wrong things for her. Lie to her or run away from something scary . At first she might misunderstood you but at the end, she will realised that you did that for her and it was the right thing after all,"

She also said things like , " Madoka you have been a good child, you never do bad things nor lie. You had passed your childhood with flying colors. But sometimes you need to learn to do the wrong things while you're still young . Because when you are still young , you heal faster and this would help you when you fall when you're an adult. Being an adult , falling always lead to bigger consequences because you shoulder a lot more responsibility.."

So tis be a reminder to me that I have survive all of these and insyaAllah will survive the rest. So that, all the stupid things and mistake I did would be useful for me.So that I would be able to accept what I earned and make use of it to reach a yet to be known goal and be happy. InsyaAllah.

Next thing I would like to mention is my last night visit to Ukong. It was a village far from the town , quite isolated . But trust me when I said its priceless to be there. As our car drove further and further into lots of turns and roads , there are a number of places that doesn't have any road lights and I am grateful for it in some ways. Earlier before leaving home , I could see that the night sky is clear , no clouds to be seen and there are some stars that could be seen than usual. And when we were on the non-litted place , I swore that was the first time I ever seen the sky so wide and the stars were numerous. With only the stars as the source of light (no light pollution except for our car's headlight )trees of the forest turn into a silhouette, the sky a black-bluish gradient and it was as if I was looking at a postcard from somewhere out of the country. The stars ! There were so many of them. They were all around me , anywhere I turned. I caught my breath so many times. Masha-Allah , it was a beautiful view I could just jump out of the car and lie there and cry in joy.Hopefully one day , I would be able to bring my friends there to stargaze . Until then I hope it would stand  proudly in place.Oh and hopefully by then I would own a super defined camera that could take picture of the stars and moon.

well then,
Aniyuuki
