phantom: requiem for the phantom

bee train's new baby. Animation’s fairly pretty. just felt a bit stoic. background music's quite good, my cup of tea. ED song's done by ali project(reminds me of lulu BAAAWWW). storywise, it's my favorite generic brand of assasins-without-a-past boring philosophical emo faggotry, that i painfully endure just for the fight scenes. reminiscent of mr. and mrs. smith, except that instead of being CEOs rightaway they're at entry-level and not yet married. Zwei looks like sousuke sagara, but hotter. Ein isn't that loli, which is a plus. naturally, everyone else is very japanese despite being supposedly americans. if the animation degrade or the story gets fucked up, i won't endure it.

shang ri-la

the animation's a real hag next to the promo poster , which is a fine piece of cg art, so the animation being fugly really pissed me off. Plus! The music is total shit. the story, though, is very interesting. from what i've seen, it's a shounen(8-18? boys) series with a pink-haired loli(that isn’t baka moe! Hallelujahz!) as the protagonist, and regardless of me being anti-paedobear, I’m pro feminism. So, that’s a definite plus. However, the political premise is a bit hard to digest(i rewound it a few times before i had a grasp on what's going on. i'm that slow. sorry). the story's an interesting take on another possible outcome of the future, i've never seen going green could be so corporate and political ;3 the last fun thing to note is the impressive number of transvestites. Lol. If the plot gets hotter, I’ll continue watching this.

Eden of the east
I don’t know where to start. The plot is very fun and mysterious, but this animu is obviously character development driven given that its demographic is josei (18+ women), so yeah. The OP and ED sequences are so buttfucking awesome, they can have my babies. The OP theme song is in English (yehey~! I didn’t have to suffer reading subs while contemplating the sequence :P), not to mention vector elements and typography (I obviously ship graphic design). The ED sequence is sugoku kawaii~! *kicked by imaginary readers* it srsly is. it’s very creative and it shows that it took a lot of effort to animate, and the theme song is nice, too. even with the character design being very simplistic (same mangaka(?) with honey and clover), the animation is very smooth and fluid right down to the very accurately human mannerisms. It’s freaking amazing. They even hired American voice actors! Neat. No moar engrish. The best part is… it’s morita and hagu(honey and clover) all over again! Not only that, it’s less paedo, moar terrorism and moar nekkid!!!! KYAAAAAA~! *shot* VERDICT: A++++++++plus++plusplus+++

i did it for the lulz don't kill me. :3

i just saw the rurouni kenshin[samurai x] ova tsuikohen[trust and betrayal] and seisohen[reflection]. deep. dark. romantic. absolute love. really far from the 'oro'-filled main series. absolutely awesome, nonetheless. the soundtrack alone tore me apart. the animation leaned more on realism in comparison to their forerunner. the story and how they were pieced together is amazing. i really loved it. exactly, my brand of romance. i can't believed it took me this long to finally get to see this. it reminded me how horrifying shedding blood really is.[watching too much soul eater made me think blood looked funny.] although i honestly am sick of watching rurouni kenshin over and over in english, tagalog and japanese[my sisters really doesn't.], i still miss seeing it. it reminds me of my childhood and the values they contained that i have obviously forgotten. my all-time favorite anime that shaped my perception[atleast before i got this way(hikikomori)], other than hunter x hunter. the anime being shown nowadays are sort of lacking. it's not that they're bad. it's just that most of them are filled with too much ecchi and psychosis.[they just turn me paranoid and horny] not to mention that most of them are made for adults or really young kids[lolis and shotas], none for me[18 year old who thinks as if she's 12]. very few of them contain the same spirit and inspiration that made me fall in love with anime in the first place.[naruto, bleach and one piece has it, though.]

anyhoo, i wasn't content with rurouni kenshin's final episode so seeing these made me really happy and depressed at the same time.[ which i always do whenever i finish a really good anime] makes me yearn for more. makes me wish it ran like dragon ball /z. but alas, even dragonball /z is overr. *cries some more* it also sort of makes me reevaluate my stance against life.

but then, i also saw 5 centimeters per second, which only strengthened my stance that living is pointless.

aside from knowing my condition is called being a hikikomori and starting to walk all over the house instead of lying in my bed for months. this is my first attempt to reconnect with society. so, yay me! then again, no one reads my blog. but i've been avoiding this since i got this way. so, this is a big step. atleast, in my book. before, i even supress or withhold composing thoughts regarding none escapist concepts. i'm a total romantic. everyone else knew from the start. crap. i'm really beyond my limits because i never finish anything. so there.
