[Anime - Conclusion]: Orange (TV, 1-13)

Hi everyone!

It’s been a while since I’ve last posted about a series I watched although I consumed QUITE a bit since my last entry, to name just a few:
Cheer Danshi, Servamp, Kimi no na wa, ReLife, Ao no Exorcist, Arslan Senki, Nijiiro Days, Kiseijuu, Kimi to Boku, Super Lovers, .... if interested you can see the full list sorted by finish date here.
(Also rewatched Haikyuu and Kuroko no Basket.)

Among them were quite a few interesting and good series worth writing about here, but I just don’t have enough time to. (same old story as always …)
Maybe I’ll get to it some day (but I doubt it) …. At least you can see the rating I gave those series on MAL (but with the rating alone you still wouldn’t know if the series is worth watching, I guess..)




Anyway, I just finished watching “Orange”.
I know a lot of people have been talking about it, but I usually always stay away from “airing” series until they’re almost finished.
I just know that I cannot manage to wait a week for the next episode. *g*

Read more... )

Some say it’s just an overly kitschy romance series, but I would very much argue with that.
For me, this series is not about romance, but about friendship.
And of course, about suicidal behavior / depression.

I like that they actually made this the main topic of this series as this is quite relevant for Japan. The suicide rate is still quite high there, also among school kids.



While I liked the series, there were especially TWO things that made me cringe a lot – which is also why I decided to write about it.
I’m also curious about your opinion on this.
From here onwards you should only continue reading if you don’t mind the spoilers.

Was it really ok like this? )


Ok, that’s enough rambling. ^^; ……

If you have any series you’d like to recommend, please go ahead!

(Too bad that the Orange movie starts airing 2 days after my vacation in Japan …)


Bye~chuu!

[Review // Conclusion]: MONSTER - a GREAT series!

I finally finished Monster yesterday.

It was sooo exciting that I had to watch the last 4 episodes in one go. It was really a GREAT series and I can rec it to all of you - that´s why I´m going to write an entry about it now (^-^')
There´s not only the anime series (74 episodes, which you can watch here online it seems), but also the manga (18 volumes).
I can´t say anything about the manga yet, but I´ll definitely read it soon, because there are still so many questions in my head - and seriously series that leave you with a lot of big questionmarks above your head so that you still have to think about a lot of things are the best, no?

Und als das Monster endlich einen Namen hatte, gab es niemanden mehr, der es hätte beim Namen nennen können. )

[Conclusion]: Death Note - The END

Hey there!~

I´ve finally finished the Death Note manga yesterday night and now I want to write down what I think about the end and about the whole series.

So if you haven´t finished the manga yet, just ignore this entry!!!!!

MAJOR MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Shinigami really like apples! )


SPOILERS END



I´ve also watched the 1st Death Note movie so far. (Dead or alive)
I still don´t like the actor they´ve chosen for Raito ... but the Shinigami are well-made and I LOVE L somehow XDDDDD
I also love that they´ve changed the story a bit, otherwise it would have been boring.
Now I finally can watch the 2nd movie!! I´m looking forward to it ^__^
(and KYAH Inui is Matsudaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa !!! .... That´s the first time (I think) that I´ve seen a Tenimyu star in a drama/movie!!!) XDDDDDDD


I´ve started to watch the anime. Only the first 2 episodes so far.
ZOMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! L = Yamaguchi Kappei!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!!!!!
As I AAALWAYS tell you he´s following me! HE´S EVERYWHERE!! I recognize his voice right away! Usually I don´t even need to hear his voice! A sigh is enough to recognize him! AAAAH!!
But I think he´s quite fitting for L considering he´s also Shinichi Kudou´s voice in Conan ^^
Well .. I have to watch more of it :)
Raito´s voice is good as well (didn´t know that his seiyuu was in Tenimyu!!)

[Conclusion + Screencaps]: Honey & Clover I + II

I´ve finally finished Honey & Clover !♪

... looking back this series was really a surprise ! It´s a really, really good and cute series that casts a spell on you ^__^
I think you really can´t DESCRIBE what this series is about or what is good about it. You have to see and experience the whole atmosphere for yourself !!!

The surprising thing for me was ... that I really liked season 1, it was nice ... well the last few episodes where getting on my nerves ... too much of Takemoto on his bike ^^; ... (don´t get me wrong ! I like Takemoto-kun !)
But the 2nd season was just too great !!! I didn´t expect that ! The series was going in another ... more adult-like direction, don´t you think ?


<~ Takemoto + Morita ... I like the sky colors in the background ! (*-*)

Watching the relationship between Yamada and Nomiya-san grow .... that was just fair and beautiful !
I really came to like Nomiya-san ! ... at first I didn´t like his playboy-like appearance, but he changed a lot, don´t you think ? I hope they will get together some day ^___^

A relationship I personally was not SO interested in was the one between Rika and Mayama! I can´t tell why exactly ... perhaps I don´t understand there relationship that well ^^; ....
And there were times when I couldn´t stand watching Yamada cry because of him (x_____x) .....



On to the last episodes: (please read this only when you´ve already finished season 2 !!!)

full craziness ahead~ )

Oh before I forget: I´ve seen the manga today at the trainstation ! So it´s out in Germany !!!! I didn´t know that ^^; ... should I buy it ?! ;__; .....

P.S.: screencaps were made by me

Kodomo no Omocha: Manga vs. Anime ~ My conclusion + a short review

So, after I´ve finished the anime yesterday I want to compare the manga and the anime.

I really loved the manga ! I love Obana Miho. I love her dark and sad stories ! I love the way she´s treating her young main characters.
I also liked the anime a lot, but not as much as the manga. Furthermore there are WORLDS between those two, that´s why I´m writing this XD

vs.

short review [for those who don´t know Kodomo no Omocha] )



My conclusion [manga vs. anime] )


So, that´s all. I just wanted to say this much XD
Anyone wants to discuss this ?
And once again I have to apologize for my bad English x___X;;; *bows*
Jaa, mata ne ^^/~*

FMA movie ~ (Conqueror of Shamballa) ~ My conclusion

[mood| a bit sad ]
[music| Akutsu Jin - Get free (remix) ]



So after I´ve finished watching the series I could not stand it NOT to watch the movie, too. I just was TOO curious :/ ......
Because it´s absolutely worth TALKING about, I thought I should write down my impressions again, so that we can discuss a little bit.
I have a very strong necessity to talk this over~ ... more than after the end of the anime series O__O;;


SPOILER WARNING:
If you haven´t watched the MOVIE yet, PLEASE don´t read any further unless you WANT to know what´s happening there !!!


Naze ka na ? )

So, all of you who have watched the movie already, TELL me your thoughts and impressions please. I want to discuss this, perhaps it gets me liking the movie more :/ ....
Again I have to apologize for my horrible English x_X


Jaa, nevertheless I sooooooooo need to make a LOT of screenshots and icons *___*

The END of Fullmetal Alchemist ...

[mood| hungry ]
[music| Gravitation - Sleepless Beauty (instrumental remix) ]



Yesterday I´ve finally finished FMA.
So, what I want to do now is talk about the series and also about the END !!!~

I liked the series from the very start ^-^ although I started to watch it only recently :/ At first I thought it´s SiFi or has something to do with mechas - and THAT´s so NOT my genre >_>
BUT then I saw so many people going all crazy over it, so I thought why not try ? :)
AND that was absolutely the right choice !!! I´ve really seen a LOT of animes up to now (as you can see here), but THIS was really a good one !!
Ok, ok everyone has different tastes, nee ? But speaking for me, I think this is now really on of my favourite animes ever (and that means something ! ;))

The compostion of seriousness and slapstick is BRILLIANT and the soundtrack is beyond this world ! You have to adore FMA just because of the great opening and ending songs, right ?
Ed´s seiyuu does such a great job ! I LOVE HER voice !!! ~♥ [Romi Paku ~ She´s also the voice of Nana O_O]
And not speaking of Junichi Suwabe the voice of Greedo (I instantly recognized Atobe´s voice ~♥ XDXD a reason to LOVE Greedo, no ?? :P)




SPOILER WARNING:
There are a LOT of spoilers from here on, so if you´ve NOT finished watching FMA yet or if you DON´T want to know what´s happening next: DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER !!

my thoughts )


Ok, I think that´s all I wanted to say~

If anyone wants to discuss this or tell me his/her thoughts about the end or the whole series, PLEASE go ahead :) I´m really looking forward to hear it ^-^V
and excuse me for my bad English x_x
