Laughter is not always the best Medicine

Ok, I'll sum up what i had been doing for the past 2 weeks. First off, I'm renewing my Strategy for my Japanese lessons because i think that it's about time to take it to the next level. I wanted to prove to myself that i can do it by myself (Foolish bravado) and i would like to finish what i started. Since i can't teach myself anything new, i decided to watch J-Drama Films instead and learn from it (by hook or by crook).

My hands are still feeling stingy at times and that can only mean that i have to press on the accelerate pedal before its too late. The latest thing that i had done so far is practicing some basic video/movie editing using Windows Movie maker. Actually, this is the first time that i had used something like that and I'm looking for newer and better softwares that i can use for video and movie editing. Still, the parodies that i had created, made my heart and lungs ache from too much laughing.

There was a time that i laughed so hard that i was almost out of breath. Last night i was still laughing while i was in my bed and thanks to that, i wasn't able to sleep and just waited for morning to come. My stomach was hurting from probably inhaling too much air (and karma from making fun of my friends in the parodies that i made for them).

It was a first for me, i had many sleepless nights before but hurting because of too much laughter was a first for me. Making funny scripts for movies are really fun and i believe that it will be a good reference for the future.

I have set a date for myself and i want to wrap everything up before the month of August comes to an end. Time is not on my side and I am probably just one of the thousands, who understands how fast time can pass you by.

Doing something worth doing and appreciating everything that you can do is something that person is entitled to. I sincerely hope and pray that the fruition of my efforts will come to pass before this year is over.

I hope you guys had a great weekend and let us pray for better days to come.

P.S If i find some good J-Drama titles, i might post them here as well.


Till then...

Starting it slow

The new anime series that had made their appearances this month has caught my attention. Of course, we all have our own opinions on what type of anime suits us best and for me, i found some of them very interesting and some of them lacking in some points.

Old faces like Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu and Natsume are very promising and made me smile as i watch the first episodes.

The series that i had anticipated like Croisee, Kamisama Dolls and Usagi Drop started great and I am very interested on how things will turn out on the next episode. The other anime that caught my attention was Kami-sama no Memo-chou (God's Notebook?) was quite "NEET" if i say so myself. They are all quite interesting and i do hope that their series will continue to be interesting as the days go by.

No anime reviews for this week, but I will post something during the weekends.

Till then...have a great week and...

Endings and New Beginnings

As the seasons for the anime's that i have watched over the past few months are slowly and surely taking their well deserved "curtain calls", i can't help but admit that i am actually excited to know that some of the manga's, games, series that i am familiar with is all lined up this July.

Now you may already know about this, but I do find the ending for "C the Money of Soul and Possibility Control and Gosick" to be quite nice and very appropriate for the series. As one who waits every week for every single upload of the videos, I'm glad that it had a great ending and that is what made it, all worth my while to watch.

I wish that the new series that I am looking forward to will be just as good or "hopefully" be even better than them. Now i have mixed feelings about these anime titles that I am going to share with you and i think that some of you are familiar with them as well.

First on our List is Natsume Yuujin - Chou San




I already made a review of this series before and I sincerely hope that this one would be great. To those that doesn't know the story of Natsume and Mr. Cat Pig, I'll give you a brief summary about it. Natsume can see spirits (Youkai's) and the likes and he has learned to accept them. He was entrusted with the book of friends (A book who has the list of names of spirits) and this book binds those spirits to him. Some of them are bad, some of them are good and some of them are "somewhere in between the two". Now mind you, this series is quite simple and it has that "laid back" atmosphere that most of you feel, whenever you watch simple slice of life shows. Well, to know more about his story, you'll just have to watch the anime and see whether you find it to your liking (or not).

Next is the loveable antics of Ikoku Meiro no Croisee




Well, the first time i saw this muffin is around a few months ago (I think). It is a story about a Yune a young japanese girl in a foreign country and she's with a French guy named Oscar. Illustrated with the same guy that handled Gosick (Yeah, he likes it when East meets West) i sure love to see this animated. I'm sure that im going to like it (even if i haven't watched it yet), it just gives off that "feeling" that you can't definitely miss this one out.

Ok...Now *ahem* it's time for the Idols to finally take center stage and shine (once again).



Of course, some of you may have watched "Xenoglassia" in the past, and yes this is where "IdolMaster" started. No....the first series was not about girls dancing, but mechanical robots punching meteorites that are headed to earth. Although an Ova was released in the past, i wonder if the anime series for "Idolmaster" will just be as good as the reputation that they get in the game. I have a feeling that i'll be hearing the song "Colorful Days" in the show. >__> I wonder if they are going to show "Kiramekirari" with Yayaoi on it xD!! Well anyways....we'll just have to see if they are as good as it gets.

Now....this series is quite new to me and i'll admit that i had only been reading it for the past month (or two). Usagi Drop features a different story from the "usual" anime's that you had watched so far and i wonder if this will be good or not.



Well, this is a story about a guy who took care of his grandfather's daughter. Did that phrase confuse you? Well imagine this, you have a 10 year old with you and she's supposed to be your Aunt and you are 30 years old. Ok do you get the picture? now, let's start rolling. Usagi drop features a unique relationship between Daikichi and his supposed to be aunt Rin. HE took care of her and raised her up and they had their fair share of hardships along the way. Even though everyone in their family finds her an "annoyance" because of the way her identity...no make that existence, has been unknown to them when Daikichi's grandfather was still alive. Oh yeah, according to the story Daikichi looks just like his Grandpa when he was younger err...older...err... >_< well they just look alike! That is also probably the main reason why Rin was somehow attached to him "in her own way". Well i don't really want to give any spoilers, but i'm curious on how the anime series will turn out.

Well that is it for this week and i hope that we would have better and brighter days ahead.

Till next time...
