Kyaaa...

I don't know why I haven't been posting a lot lately. It's not that I have nothing to say... rather I don't have the time.

Anime season is here! That's all I have to say with all the latest releases in Japan. So far I've been trying to catch up with xxxHolic, Nana and Tsubasa... which probably my main interest in watching these is because I've read their manga.

So far I'm really impressed with the anime for xxxHolic. Production I.G. did it again! Seriously, this is the sort of anime I would really enjoy together with the manga. Watanuki and Yuuko sounds amazing! And to see everyone else animated... Production I.G. did a really good job there. Story wise, though the order of the story in the manga and the anime differs... I still love it. It reminds me of CCS where the order is also mized up.

The music... (melts) the opening is spectacular. I agree with someone who mentioned that Suga Shikao is destined to sing for xxxHolic. That song is just amazing! (Though the promo video is... >_< I don't suggest watching it.) The ending song is cute... and even though some people may think it doesn't suit the anime, I think it sounds really well. ^^ Cute black Mokona dancing!

My only gripe is... where are the Tsubasa references? Sure, you could still see other CLAMP works in there... but where's Tsubasa? @___@

Moving on to Nana. I first read Nana in the Malay manga magazine called 'Arena Komik'. Due to explicit content, it soon stopped publishing it... but soon enough, I got greatly curious about the manga and began downloading it. The manga is awesome... if you like shoujo that is. Nana isn't really your typical shojou manga, but it does have the same qualities as it. Still, the story of two girls named Nana is definitely popular what with the live action movie out and now the anime. ^^

The anime... I must say... is really good. The music is superb(to be expected since one Nana is a singer) and the animation for the OP and ED sequence... ^^ Just amazing. I have a feeling this anime is going to be long though, since the manga is still going on till now. And I've already watched 5 episodes and so far, the story is still in flashback mode on the two girl's past.

The second season of Tsubasa is out! Now much more fun and fascinating than ever! I still wish Bee Train wasn't doing Tsubasa... but so far, they've done a decent job so it doesn't really matter so much. The OP and ED are a little bit softer than the first season... especially the OP. I didn't quite like the animation for the OP... too many stills. But the ending... now that was definitely a treat. Not only was the song amazing, the still clips are a treat. (Young Fye, anyone? ^^)

Check out my Etc. section to find out what anime I'll be watching soon and such. ^^ Hope you like the new layout.

In the meantime... (waits for Ouran High School Host Club to load)
