Girl + Girl + Girl = More Girls? (LOL)

Well, i am familiar with anime's that have the Harem feature. Many cute girls surrounding a guy, and many cute guys surrounding a girl. But, when you see anime's like "Maria-sama ga Miteru" it makes you think twice that their are other anime's that focuses on the same gender relationship. Although, not all of you are familiar with BL (Boys Love?) Yaoi and Girl to Girl (Yuri) relationships, their are some anime's that have these kind of genre.

Although these relationships also happens in "real life", the question that most people often asks is "WHY?"

I'm not an expert on that field, so i won't try to explain the details on how these relationship works. But Hey! All is fair in Love and War right?

Now, lets focus on the anime at hand. The title of this anime is "Koihime Musou" and it consists of 3 seasons. The story revolves around Unchou, Kan'u (Kanu)
A girl who's parents were killed by bandits. In order to stop the same thing from happening to others, she became the notoriously known "Bandit Hunter".



She met her first friend Yokutoku, Chouhi (Rin Rin) and she became her sworn sister (Hmmm...to put it simply, a sister that is not blood related but shares the same relationship as a real sister).

RinRin is rather a very active and cheerful girl that doesn't know how to keep still even for a minute. Her playful attitude and stubbornness matches up with her sworn sister's carefree and matured demeanor.


The two of them journeyed the land to make it a better place for everyone. They encounter a lot of people and of course "bandits" along the way and these is where the whole story revolves.

They also met a lot of girls that carries the same weapon (Spears) and together they made the "Revolutionary Army". These army is responsible in clearing away bandit troops in different areas in the country (Btw, the setting was on Ancient China).


Chouun Shiryuu is another unique character in the story. She pretty much likes to play jokes on people and sometimes cosplays as "Kachou Kamen" (Masked Butterfly). She loves to eat bamboo shoots and sometimes get lost in the story and only appears when...she thinks it is appropriate to make an appearance (lol).

It would take up a lot of time to describe all the characters in the story because there are a LOT of them. Nevertheless, these anime series is something worthwhile to watch.

The Following are the titles for the different seasons of the anime.

Koihime Musou - First Season
Shin Koihime Musou - Second Season
Shin Koihime Musou Otome Tairan - Third Season

Of course, the main characters are all girls so expect some "ecchiness" every now and then. The humor is just about right and the story line is surprisingly interesting.

Now we go to the other anime title.
This second anime caught my interest because of the seemingly familiar and intriguing story line. It tackles about the so called "Gods" of a certain town and their identity is hidden among the local populace.



The anime title is "Ookami Kakushi".
The story takes place in "Jouga Town" where Hiroshi Kuzumi and his family moved in.
Hiroshi suddenly became popular among his class and a lot of people seem attracted to him. Some of his classmates mysteriously disappears and whenever he ask what happened to them, almost everyone just says that they "Moved Out".

He witnessed a murder done by someone wielding a great scythe and has been directly involved in the secret surrounding the small town of Jouga. He found out that he has a certain characteristic that attract the "Gods" (Werewolves in Human Form). He is also referred in the story as a "Temptation" that is too hard to resist.

The Ending is a little hmmm...lacking perhaps? But i guess, it's ok in its own way.
You just have to see for yourself whether you find it interesting or not.

Now the Third Anime Title is.....What? There's More? Of course =) , were going for a third anime title this week *Smirks*.

The title of this anime is "Seitokai no Ichizon". Ok, this anime is pretty well known and the reason is..."You don't actually need one".

Well basically, this anime only revolves around a certain room and that is where the whole story takes place. Yeah...imagine the story just stays in one room? Pretty "Daring" if you ask me. Surprisingly, it worked out just fine.



Hekiyou Academy has a special student council that does practically.....NOTHING!
Yeah, this is the only student council that doesn't have any workload and they just chat around all day. They often make parodies of some "Anime titles" which also enhances the appeal of the story.

The main character Ken Sugisaki (also the only guy in the student council) Holds the Blue Chip position. A position that is taken by the smartest person in the school. He often flirts with the four main heroines and consider the student council as his own personal Harem. Although a very perverted person at heart, he goes out of his way to make sure that all his pretty girls are always smiling.

The President of the student council Kurimu Sakurano is a very active girl that likes to eat sweet things. Her Special feature is ....having no special feature aside from being short and flat chested. She likes to propose different topics to start a meeting but everything is in vain because of the lack of interest of the student council members.

Chizuru Akaba is the more ladylike character in the story and is also the secretary of the student council. If i have to describe her, she resembles the student council president of "Sora no Otoshimono". Yeah the Yakuza Girl that likes to give torture to people. She's really smitten with Kurimu and likes to play around with Ken.

Minatsu Shiina is a girl that loves action and adventure. She's the typical Tsundere type character who likes to punch Ken whenever he tries to do something perverted. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this girl loves fighting so much that opening a martial arts tournament would seem the "normal" thing to do for her. Well, she's pretty cute in her own way and is also the sister of Mafuyu Shiina.

Mafuyu Shiina is considered as the cutest? hmmm most attractive? girl in the student council aside from the president. She's a girl that loves to play games and read BL titles (Boys Love) and have a weird fantasy that concerns relationship between Ken and an imaginary cute guy. She's not very active and would only participate in discussion when asked.

These four girls have influenced Ken when he was down and depressed and also the reason why he did his best to join the student council. She met the president during the spring, Minatsu during the summer, Chizuru during the fall and Mafuyu during the Winter.

Yeah...a unique anime in its own right and worthy to be mentioned in my weekly anime reviews.

Btw, The last episode of Sora No Otoshimono Forte is now posted on youtube and animeready.com

Another good anime series has ended and the only thing that i am waiting for is the release of the Sora no Otoshimono the Movie.I really hope the manga will still continue and hopefully go for a third season. There are really some anime's that you don't want to end right away. I bid you all a great week and hopefully a great Christmas.


Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Strictly 18 and Above!

Ok, so like i said...this week's review is for those that are only 18 and above. If you are not within the age limit then i suggest you scram and get the hell out of this page right now...

So before we start, i would like to clear one thing first. Everyone has their own preference and no matter what others say about your likes and dislikes, you shouldn't give a damn on what they have to say. I mean...duh, it's your life your living and not theirs right?

So without further delays i present to you 2 anime's that i think would make you feel a little awkward at times but happy inside? (lol that could mean a lot of things btw).

The First Anime/Manga that i'm going to tell you is "Sora no Otoshimono".
But before that, i would like to cite my own honest opinion on the series.
While i was watching the first few episodes, i was thinking that "Hey, this is weird...but it's good?" and "This can be better, this could get a lot better.", "It has room for improvements, with a few tweaks this would be awesome".

After watching Clannad, i got a little too sensitive while watching and reading things. So...I was greatly interested on how the anime would turn out to be. It turned out just right, but like i said it could have been a lot better. But i guess, without the usual pervertness then this anime/manga might not even be one of the best anime's of the current generation.

Anyways, Sora no Otoshimono is the story about Tomoki Sakurai...a highschool student that likes "Peace and Quiet" above all else. He has a childhood friend named Sohara Mitsuki that takes good care of him and gives him the "deadly karate chop" when he goes out of bounds.



He has been having a dream about a girl that he meets whenever he enters the dreamworld and she gets spirited away by the sky every time. These dreams seem to have a greater meaning than what it seems and that is where it all started.

A girl fell from the sky one night and Sakurai tried his best to save her from the falling debris. The girl was an angel (Angeloid to be precise) and she made Sakurai her master. Her name is Ikaros/Icaros and she is a "Pet Class Angeloid" which is made for the sole purpose of entertaining and following her master's orders (well, i wouldn't mind having one).

Sakurai did his best to teach her on how to act more human but it seems that she is a little too slow on things. One thing led to another and he meets another Angeloid by the name of "Nymph". A little Loli angel that is also known as Beta (Electronic Warfare Angeloid, Type Beta to be more precised). Her mission was simple, to take Ikaros back to the Synapse.

The first season progressed and Ikaros and Nymph had their share on how to live and feel as humans (which of course, they don't really understand). The relationship between the angeloids and Sakurai develop at a slow pace, which makes the story a little interesting perhaps?

The season 2 started of with a bang, it is also the signal of the introduction of another Angeloid, Astraea and she is a "Close-Combat Angeloid, Type Delta". A very beautiful yet very stupid angeloid. She is considered as a very powerful warrior but it seems that she is quite harmless and a bit clumsy at times. Her mission? To exterminate Sakurai once and for all, but it seems that she is having a very hard time on doing it.

Of course, it's not always sunshine and rainbows...a lot of twists has been made to make sure that Sakura's life is not as "Peaceful" as he wanted and the combination of these 3 angels made the story very good, to say the least.



Who wouldn't want three cute angels to keep you company? i sure wouldn't mind if that was me.


The next Anime/Manga is somewhat...err..a bit extreme to others.
The title is "Koe De Oshigoto" Now before you start saying that this anime is insane (which i would agree with you), it deals with a more "Real Life" point of view.

As we know Seiyuu's or Japanese Voice actors are responsible in giving life to our beloved anime characters. But what happens if a 16 yeard old highschool girl tried her hand on "Eroge Voice Acting?". Hmmmm to others that doesn't know what it means, it simply says "Porn voice actors" so to speak.

Yeah, a highschooler saying lewd and erotic words (thats a bit extreme you think?) and making it sound so real.



This is actually just an OVA which is on its first episode, i heard or i guess i think that the second installment of the Ova will be on March ( Crap...so long). This ova reminded me of a similar anime entitled "REC". A Seiyuu that is struggling to get a major role in voice acting.

Anyways back to Koe de Oshigoto, it is a story about Kanna Aoyagi a normal 16 year old high school girl that has a sister that works at an Eroge Company (a company that makes porn games). She was against the idea at first but did her best for the sake of her older sister. Actually she can act better when she enters her "Trance" mode.

When she goes into a trance, she is able to say the things that she wouldn't normally say. These includes erotic words that concerns genitals and other lewd words that is suitable for "ecchiness".

The story was funny as well, but the anime was actually more....whats the word? DETAILED perhaps? well, i doubt if the censorship will go down a little and i think the single episode alone has more "Ecchi" moments compared to any normal anime series combined.

It was really interesting and i kinda like it (haha? don't look at me like that).
Well, i guess i have to wait for the manga updates and the anime updates for Koe de Oshigoto.


Btw, i forgot to add that the Name for the second season of Sora no Otoshimono was "Sora no Otoshimono Forte", it comprises of only 12 episodes but i heard that they are planning to make a movie. I hope it turns out great, with 2 more episodes remaining for season 2 it seems that the anime will be a little too short for comfort. Anyone for season 3? well i can only hope.

I also added an anime opening slot in my blog. I will change it weekly and the change will happen by hmmm...Saturday next week? Anyways, enjoy the changes and i wish you all great days ahead.

I Will also change the songlist for the blog by tomorrow as well.

That's it for today and till then...

Keep the Flames Burning!

The Qualities of a Good Anime

There are a lot of people that have a lot of different tastes when it comes to almost everything in life. Fashion, Lifestyle, Hobbies, Sports and the list goes on and on. One of the things that i will discuss with you today is my personal opinion on what is a good and a bad anime.

Well, like i said this is my own personal preference and many of you might have their own thoughts about the matter as well. To start with, i believe that a good and bad anime/manga is something that leaves an impression or has an "impact" on your emotion. You wouldn't comment if its just "SO~SO" right?

Now let me start with an example of what i think was a bad anime a few years ago. Almost everyone expects that shows ends with a "good ending". If it doesn't then you automatically calls it "bad".

There is only one anime that i have labeled as a bad anime and I first watched it a few years ago. It was "Air" by Kyoto Animation and the year was 2005. Now why did i say that Air was a bad anime? The Drawing is good, the story is nice...But, the ending was sad and depressing. Now i was still young back then and like i said, the only thing that i care about are happy endings.

Air left a bad aftertaste after I watched it and i stayed away from anime's that have the same story line. I stayed away from anime's that have sad and depressing endings. As time went on, more and more anime's known as "slice of life" and "tear jerkers" were created. I had my share of those anime's and i find them nice and interesting to watch.

In a sense, i finally have grown up to my so called "Air Syndrome" and started to find other anime's to watch. Don't get me wrong, i wouldn't ever watch Air again. I consider it as an anime good for watching only once.

Then just a few days ago, I was feeling sick because of the change of weather. Christmas is almost here and it was a little too cold lately. Unfortunately, i had been coughing a lot lately and have a very active "runny nose". To take my mind away from my sickness i thought of watching one of the best rated anime's a few years ago and that was "Clannad".

After watching the first episode, i suddenly realized that I "did" watch the first episode of this anime a few years ago (just the first episode). The drawing and the feel gave me that "Air Syndrome" and i decided to stop watching it way back then. Since i had been looking for something worth watching, i decided to put my doubts behind me and dive head on.

I think i made a mistake, seriously one of the biggest mistake i ever did.
Clannad was an anime that focuses on the emotions of people and it can really leave you with an ache.



First and foremost, let me tell everyone that haven't watched this anime "yet" that if you have a heart disease, or have a high blood pressure...it is best to steer clear away from this anime.

YOU MIGHT NOT SURVIVE TO WATCH THE LAST EPISODE!
Yes, i am serious about it and i sincerely hope that you heed my warning.

To those that believe that they are strong enough, mature enough and able enough to handle it, then by all means try to watch it.




The story revolves around Tomoya Okazaki, you can consider him as a highschool delinquent (typical). He hates the city and the life that he lives and doesn't know what to do with his life. His Best friend Youhei Sunohara is just like him, but deep down has a kind heart when his friends are concerned.

As Tomoya was walking towards school, he meets a girl that is standing at the bottom of the climb and talking to herself. The girl's name was Nagisa Furukawa a shy, clumsy, weak bodied but strong willed person. She wants to re-establish the theater club and wants to create a play about "The Girl that lived in a world that Ended".

It might seem like a typical Harem style of anime (which is what it is) but as the story progressed for the first season it didn't cover too much of the Romantic Side (only at the end). The story focused on the "arcs" of the girls that is always around Tomoya. A lot of people consider the first season as the "Introduction part". The "Get to Know the Characters better" part.

Well aside from Nagisa who is the main heroine of the story, i strongly believed that the Ghost girl "Fuko Chan" was the main attraction of the season. You will love her story arc and will love her character as well. People refer to her as a ghost but that is not entirely true. She is more like a wandering spirit because she is still alive and is in a coma.

Fuko Busies herself everyday by giving away wooden art works that she personally carves (Starfish). She gives them away and hopes that those that receives them will come to her sister's wedding. Tomoya and Nagisa helped her and made her dream possible. The only thing that happened next was, they forgot about her. Well, she still appears every now and then in the story like a "magical girl" that helps out people in their time of great need.

Well enough of the small things about season 1.
Season 2 is the real deal.

I repeat, i congratulate you with completing season 1. Season 2 is the tearjerker and you won't even imagine how many times your heart is going to get crushed in this season, Not to mention...how many times you might actually cry.

Well people can't cry even if they want to when they are all grown up. But sometimes, if you feel like crying then you just go ahead and cry. I did, and it is more than once. This season is really heart breaking and i can't imagine the number of times that i decided to stop watching it and stop the punishment. Still, i watched it till the end which led to more heartbreaking moments and tear jerking seconds.

Season 2 focuses on The relationship of Tomoya and Nagisa, the hardships of graduating and the harsh world when you enter society. Yeah reality after graduation means job hunting, college exams, universities etc etc.

Tomoya and Nagisa decided to live together and form their own family. The hardships that they encountered and the times that they spent together.
They decided to get married and from then on out, the watchers of the anime encountered heart breaking moments.

The People who watched this anime might have said
"How many times will i cry?"
"Oh no I'm crying again?"
"It hurts...when does the hurting stop?"
"Damn i hate this anime!"
"I hate the Company that made this anime!"
"If this doesn't have a happy ending, i'll seriously get pissed!"
"Isn't that more than enough?"

And other similar comments after that...

I don't want to say more than that because it will be a spoiler to those that haven't watched it. You might notice the short story at the beginning of almost all episodes about the girl and the robot. The ending will reveal something surprising about those two characters and they will affect the outcome of the story.

This world, that world, another world and all the countless other worlds that holds limitless possibilities.


My only advice is get your tissue or handkerchief in hand, you will need it (Trust me). To those so called "macho guys" out there, feel free to test yourselves. I admit that i cried while watching this anime and was proud of it. I forgot what it feels like to shed a tear every now and then, i was reminded that i am still capable of doing it and that means that i'm still human.



Now i will say that Clannad is a good anime. After all, i think this is the only anime that made me shed a tear more than twice.Why is Clannad good and why is Air bad? Well the answer is simple, i think i was able to mature enough after watching the anime Air. I think i will be able to handle similar anime's like Clannad, but i don't think that i will watch anything like it after a few days. I still need to recover and my broken heart is still mending.

Till then, Keep the Flames Burning!

If you can change the Past will you do it?

Well some people will say that they won't change the past and what happened is predestined. Changing the past will definitely change the future (Scientifically speaking of course). Some people will however jump at that opportunity, to change something may it be great or small. They can make themselves rich...find the one they love, prevent an accident....become king of the world by wishing on a dragon ball? (Lol).



Anyways, if there was something that is worth changing, no matter the consequence...will you do it? I was thinking along the same lines when i read the Manga "Psyren". This is the story about a world on which almost all of humanity has been wiped out and the only remaining existence is a world where people are turned into machine like creatures called Tavoo (no its not Taboo).

To prevent this, a powerful and mysterious being named "Nemesis Q" gathers people from all over the world and let them find the answers to the question that he/she is seeking. All of these people have one thing in common, they have the "Psyren Cards". These cards allow them to travel to the distant future and try to survive in a harsh and difficult earth.

Ageha Yosiha is an average high school student that will solve your problems for 10,000 yen. May it be fighting someone or just looking for something that you've lost. Her childhood friend Sakurako Amamiya rarely goes to class and when she does, she always seems to be injured in a way. One day, Amamiya was called to the world to play the game that Nemesis Q has started.

Ageha notices her anxiousness and tried to talk to her, the only reply that she was able to say was "Save Me". That was the last time Ageha saw Amamiya. The next thing that happened was Ageha, answering this questionares on a local telephone booth and getting "connected" with the world of Psyren.

He appeared on a world that was in ruin and the first thing he saw was a beast that killed someone. He also saw Amamiya and she helped him clear his so called "First Round". They also met another childhood friend of their's named Hiryu Asaga. After clearing the round, they were able to obtain the power to use their brains capabilities which gives them unique abilities.

I prefer to call them "Espers", Humans that have special powers. Together with Oboro Mochizuki (an actor/Idol)and Kabuto Kirasaki a quick legged, witted, escape artist (not by profession, but someone who just like to run away when trouble is near), they try to prevent the world from turning into a wasteland.



Welcome to the World of Psyren....hope you stay connected or die in the process *evil smirk*.



Till then...Keep the Flames Burning!

Laugh at Belzebub? NO FREAKING WAY?! =)

I'm still looking for some good anime's and i haven't seen something that i consider interesting. I took a quick break from watching and resumed to reading Mangas. I didn't regret my decision and i was doing my best to recover from a tummy ache a few days ago...its not because of something i ate. I was hurting because I was laughing so much in reading Belzebub from www.Mangafox.com



Well first things first, I'll warn you first hand...If you don't even laugh on Belzebub then you don't have any sense of humor. Secondly, if you decide to read it try to read it alone without anyone hearing your psychotic and demented laughter. Yeah~ my sister and mom thought i was going crazy because i was laughing so loud a few days ago (My sister got curious and read the same manga. She was also laughing after a few pages and got addicted in reading the story.

Belzebub is the story about Tatsumi Oga (Oga) your typical, badass punk that likes to beat the crap out of anyone and the son of the Demon King Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV (Baby Bele). The Demon King wants to destroy humanity because he find them annoying but his schedule is pretty busy. He decided to let his son take care of destroying the world and assigned her wet nurse Hildagarde (Hilda) to find a suitable parent that will raise him. People refer to her as a Gothic Lolita (lolita? hahaha, seriously thats funny).

Together with the dimensional demon Alaindelon, they journeyed to the human world and found Oga. Baby Bele became attached to Oga and Oga did his best to get away from him. Baby Bele has some special powers and one of it is his "Ultra Electro Magnetic Shock" (just kidding). Whenever he cries, he sends electric shocks to his surroundings and electrocute anyone in the vicinity. Yeah~ Oga always gets hit by this attack. Aside from crying, Baby Bele also shocks Oga whenever he goes beyond 15m away from him.

Together with his friend Takayuki Furuichi (Furuichi)they searched their school to find the most evil and strongest punk to take Baby Bele away from him. He found out that Baby Bele made a contract with him which gives him "Demonic Powers" each time he fight. He later told Bele to stop doing those things and tried his best to teach him the valuable lessons of life. That lesson is...Don't Cry (Lol).



Belzebub is scheduled to be aired on January 2011 and this is one of the anime series that I am dying to see. Seriously, i wouldn't miss that opportunity if I were you.

Till then...

Keep the Flames Burning!

All Hail Britannia!...Errrr..GALLIA!!!

I doubt if anyone haven't heard of the anime "Code Geass" AKA Lelouch of the Rebellion (One of the anime's that caught my attention). The story starts with the Britannian Empire capturing almost all the nations of the world and Japan fell into their hands as well. The country Japan was later called Area 11 and the Japanese were called "Elevens".


Lelouch Lamperouge is not your typical 17 year old Ashford Academy student. Unknown to many he is a son of the Emperor of Britannia. Together with his sister Nunally Lamperouge, they were banished by their father to Area 11 were they hid their identity and tried to live normal lives. Lelouch has a simple wish, he wants to create peaceful world on which his sister Nunnaly can live in peace.

He also bears hatred towards his father (The Emperor of Britannia)because of the death of his Mother Empress Marianne. His entire life changed the moment he encounter the witch known in the story as "C.C". She is also an immortal and have the ability to give amazing powers to anyone that she desires. That power is called "Geass". The Eyes of a Geass user changes when he uses his power and some of those power requires something in return. If you were not able to control the powers it can go wild and may lead to serious complications.

His power was the Geass the can control anyone that makes eye contact with him.
But he can only order that person "once".Well he didn't have a problem with that condition and made sure that he used it effectively. C.C helped him with his plans and together they were an incredible combination. A combination fueled by hate and love at the same time.

Lelouch took another personality and called himself "Zero". He defends those that are powerless and are abused by the powerful. With his own troops known as the Black Knights, they waged war on the Britannian Empire and almost managed to be successful on the first Season of the Anime.

Lelouch planned well but not everything went according to his ideals. His sister Nunnaly was taken and made Governor of Area 11 which caused complications to his plans. His bestfriend Suzaku Kururugi also hinders his plan by piloting the White Knightmare known as "Lancelot" a powerful robot that is considered as one of the best creations on their generation.



The second part of the anime was more interesting because the battle took on a world wide scale. The Black Knights took shelter in China and made their plans to bring down the Britannian Empire once and for all. But guess what? Things kept on happening one after the other and Lelouch found himself torn between his love for his sister Nunnally and his hatred for his father the Emperor of Britannia. Gundam fans found this anime very entertaining and if you haven't watched it yet, then you better give it a try. You don't know what you're missing.

And yeah~ if you happen to watch the end of season 2 and thinks that Lelouch died...then you are definitely mistaken =P


Keep the Flames Burning!

The Story that you don't Know...

I never knew that finding good anime's takes a lot of time and effort. I've watched a couple of anime's over the past few days and i found only two that stand out. One of them is the anime entitled "Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou". It is the story about a boy who can see spirits and demons.



Natsume recieved a book called the "Book of Friends". It is a book that contains the names of spirits that his grandma "Reiko" has forced into servitude. Well forced is too strong a word, it's more like spirits that Reiko encountered when she was still alive. A lot of spirits are after the book and some of them are bad spirits that like to cause harm to humans and other spirits as well.

Natsume has a bodyguard that he calls "Nyanko Sensei", a cat (Personally, i like to call him Cat Pig)that is also a powerful ayakashi. He kept on saying that he wants Natsume to die, so that he can steal the Book of Friends. He's not really a good liar and i think he really cares about Natsume.

I experienced something interesting while watching this Anime. This anime can only be viewed in Megavideo and if you don't have any Megavideo accounts,then you will have to wait for an hour after watching 3 episodes. I encountered mysterious episodes while changing my browser. I use googlechrome when i browse the internet and this is the same browser i use when i watch anime series. Episode 7 requires you to use "Firefox Browser" if you're using googlechrome and watching from Animeseason. We tried watching it on googlechrome and we got 2 episodes that didn't continue the story of episode 6. Episode 7 was about a Fox Spirit that got attached to Natsume and visited him in his hometown. Episode 8 is about a FireFly spirit that is taking care of a painting. If you use Firefox browser, the story is continued to episode 7 with the evil spirit that is after Taki "A friend of Natsume's".

After finishing the series, I tried to look for the other 2 episodes but i haven't seen them ever since. O_o it was like, wow that was pretty mysterious. Anyways, you should try it as well. It was a very good series and the subtle and interesting plot will definitely captivate you into finishing it till the end.

Now the next anime that I'm about to tell you is the "Bakemonogatari" (Ghost Story) Anime.
I don't recommend this to people that doesn't have enough "patience and understanding". The story is a little complicated and the style makes it even more confusing. Overall I rate it as "Interesting" to say the least. I fell in love with the Ending song of the series which is "Kimi no Shira nai Monogatari" or "The Story you don't Know".



The story is about a Boy name Koyomi Araragi (Araragi) that is 1/10th vampire. He gets involved in different situations on which "abborations or apparitions" tend to attach themselves to cute girls. Yeah~ the first episode may in fact be the deciding factor whether someone will watch this series until the very end.

It focuses on the story of 5 girls that have these "Other wordly problems". Araragi seeks the help of "Meme Oshino" a man of middle aged years that have a mysterious background and takes care of "Shinobu Oshino" a cute little blond vampire (reminds me of Sue of Genshiken. She cosplays her on Genshiken 57). The first girl Hitagi Senjōgahara has been associated with the "Crab Spirit". Her problem is that she only weighs 5kg. Her burdens were taken away by the spirit and Araragi helps her to recover that burden. They became lovers (very very complicated and serious relationship, if i say so myself) and not an ordinary one at that.

The second girl is Mayoi Hachikuji, an earthbound spirit that people that doesn't want to go home encounters. She became good friends with Araragi and the only girl in the series that likes to mispronounce his name. She always says that she "stutters" whenever she says her name, but it is always on purpose.

The third is Suruga Kanbaru, the one that holds the so called "Monkeys Paw" but is later explained that it is a different kind of demon. She is a very athletic girl that likes Senjogahara (Araragi's Girlfriend). She claims that she is a lesbian and did everything to kill Araragi because of jealousy. Well she knocked him pretty good and was only saved by Senjogahara in the end.

The fourth is Nadeko Sengoku, among all the girls i really like her personalized opening song "renai circulation" (God she's cute xD)and she is quite cute as well (I just said that she's cute, sorry for repeating it again xD!). Her story is about a curse that is given to her while she was still young. The snake spirit is coiled around her body and it threatens her life. She tried to undo the curse by killing a lot of snakes and doing a ceremony in the temple dedicated for snakes. However the curse was not lifted and Araragi came to the rescue once again. Btw, Sengoku is a friend of her sister and calls him "Koyomi Oniichan".

The last is Tsubasa Hanekawa, this is Araragi's close friend and adviser. She is possessed by the Cat spirit that helps her relieve her stress by attacking anyone that happens to be on her path. She has the unique ability Energy Drain and sucks up the victims energy. Hanekawa's episode was also linked to the dissapearance of Shinobu (The vampire who sucks Arragi's blood from time to time). It seems that Hanekawa was in love with Araragi but doesn't want to tell him anything which led to the buildup of stress and caused the cat spirit to take form.

If you're going to watch Bakemonogatari, you must have a lot of patience. It's not your typical "watch and see" anime series. You just have to stick with it till the very end and be your own judge whether it's good or bad.


Changed the songs to Full anime songs because of my mood =P
