Introduce #5: More Anime Openings and Endings

Although I said that I would work on this after the exams, I decided to do it before it ends, as I just can't wait... Anyway, if you check my previous anime OP and ED post, you will see that I have edit the information a bit. Now I have included the song title and the singer / band doing it...

Well, here we go.

Seiken no Blacksmith OP


SONG: JUSTICE of LIGHT
ARTIST: Gojo Mayumi

So far an interesting anime. I enjoyed the first episode quite well, though I find that the girl's knight costumes gotta be uncomfortable. There is also a green girl in this opening which has not appeared in the anime yet, and seeing the chorus part, the girl must be the human form of her sword or something (seems like something out of Soul Eater). Anyway, this is a nice song, and the timing of the entire video is great. Love the fighting scenes.

Seiken no Blacksmith ED


SONG: Miracle Happy Day (みらくるハッピーディ)
ARTIST: Toyosaki Aki

Any good fan of K-ON! can already tell that this song is by the voice actress of Yui without looking at the artist's name. Anyway, I find the part where the golden haired girl (Lisa, the character that Aki-chan is voicing in this anime) kept falling extremely cute and funny. I was laughing my head off when I watched that part. Anyway, anyone looking for a new action anime should really try this out.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun OP


SONG: only my railgun
ARTIST: fripSide

OH MY GOODNESS!!! fripSide is still ALIVE!!!! AHHHH!!!! I thought they died on March this year because Nao, the singer, wanted to pursue a career as a soloist, and the title 'fripSide' has been put on hiatus... And now it's back!!! But probably the singer isn't Nao anymore. Have to go check...

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun ED


SONG: Dear My Friend -Mada Minu Mirai he- (Dear My Friend -まだ見ぬ未来へ-)
ARTIST: ELISA

OH MY FREAKIN'!!! IT'S ELISA!!! HOW COULD I HAVE NOT REALISED?!?!?!?!
Oh man, I'm loving this anime more and more, especially after finding out that it has two of my favourite artist working together for the theme songs... Well, this anime is interesting so far, with esper powers for most of the main characters... But one of the girls' constant yuri-imaginations is getting a little irritating... Good thing she is the only one or this will turn into another Saki... Anyone interested in supernatural shows would enjoy this.

11eyes OP


SONG: Arrival of Tears
ARTIST: Ayane

YES!!! IT'S HERE PEOPLE!! THE ANIME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!! Episode 1 was interesting, but the opening made it seem like Yuka (brown haired girl) is only a side character or something... Misuzu (red haired girl) is made to seem more like a main. Yuka seems so 'extra' suddenly... And the girl uniform sucks. Seriously.
And the glass cracking and everything when the Red Night comes. Kinda irritating, because you will want to know what is going to happen next... Probably that will only apply to me, because I already know the general storyline, and already have a basic idea what is coming...
And 罪, 罰, 贖. The three words from the subtitle of the original game. XDXDXD
LOVE Ayane, and absolutely LOVE the song. ^^

1eyes ED


SONG: Sequentia
ARTIST: Asriel

The actually got the same artist that did the openings and endings for the game to do the theme songs for the anime too. You don't really see that happening often. Actually, I would prefer if they used the same song used in the game, like what happened with Kanon 2006 and CLANNAD. BUT! If the song is also as great, I have no complains. And it is the same here. ^^

Kobato. OP


SONG: Magic Number (マジックナンバー)
ARTIST: Sakamoto Maaya

Another anime adaption of a manga done by CLAMP. First episode was a little boring though, but you can never look down on an anime based of a CLAMP story, so I will continue with this anime.

Kobato. IN


SONG: Ashita Kuru Hi
ARTIST: Hanazawa Kana

Beautiful song. But fancy having an inserted song in the first episode. Anyway, love this song. Extremely soothing.

Kobato. ED


SONG: Jellyfish's Confession (ジェリーフィッシュの告白)
ARTIST: Nakajima Megumi

Strange title. But interesting way of putting the credits... See that it moves with the bottle? Haha. They also got the famous Nakajima Meguimi to do this song too...

Shin Koihime Musou OP


SONG: Touen Ketsugi ~Touen no Chikai~ (闘艶結義〜トウエンノチカイ〜)
ARTIST: Katakiri Rekka

IT'S REKKA-SAMA!!!! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I'm totally going crazy here. Haha. Anyway, episode 1 is almost like some sort of introduction to people who have not watched the first season yet... Not much advancement from the first season. Unlike the game, this is more of a sequel then a remake. Anyway, you will see the new characters appearing, adding on to the already large number of characters.
Also, love the shooting skills of the girl at 1:09. XDXDXD

Shin Koihime Musou ED


SONG: Otome Ryouran☆Battle PARTY (乙女繚乱☆ばとるPARTY)
ARTIST: Touen no San Shimai

Never heard of Touen no San Shimai before... Anyway, this is like the first season's ending, with chibi versions of most / all of the characters... But this time there is the original version of the characters in the back. Still, cute as ever.

Sora no Otoshimono ED


SONG: Soba ni Irareru Dake de (そばにいられるだけで )
ARTIST: blue drops

The first episode was retarded, funny and stupid. Anyone who loves this kind of anime can try this... But even though I don't, will continue to watch this anime, since it is comedy as well, and I want to see how the guy can go to school if he is attached to an angel robot with amazing sex appeal. XDXDXD

No OP video. I will add it here once it releases.
SONG: Ring My Bell
ARTIST: blue drops

Nyan Koi! OP


SONG: Nyanderful! (にゃんだふる!)
ARTIST: Sakakibara Yui

OH MY GOODNESS!! IT's SAKAKIBARA YUI!!! Man, I should have realised...
Anyway, cute opening. Love the cats, and the episode itself was funny, cute, lame, and retarded. Definitely going to continue this series. I love cats. ^^

Nyan Koi! ED


SONG: Strawberry ~Amaku Setsunai Namida~ (Strawberry~甘く切ない涙~)
ARTIST: Imai Asami

Oh, forgot to talk about the storyline. The storyline is about this guy with cat allergy, making him hate cats, but his family are all cat lovers... Then one day, he offends a cat god, and he could suddenly hear cats. It was revealed that he had to help 100 cats solve their problems to prevent himself from turning into a cat as well. Most of the main character have not appeared yet though, so I'm still waiting.

That's all now people.

2009 Chapter 39: First and Last Post In-Between Exams

Now, I am only left with Maths P1 and D&T... I managed to clear some problems for Maths during tuition today. I'll make another past like the previous one, where I will put up a few anime opening and endings, but that will have to wait until marking day, which I think is on Wednesday?

Somehow, these few days has returned to normal again. Or probably not, because there have been a few changes. Now I just can't communicate with Hayate, or Rena, whatever she wants us to call her now. I realised that the main reason why I couldn't get to her was probably I felt like I wanted to distant myself from her. She was just like how I was in the past. Looking at her makes me feel as if all the bad mistakes I made was thrown right back into my face. Nausea? Not really that, but I just feel really weird. I'm looking at the old me.

But there is a difference. She is taking note of what her emotions are. Unlike me in the past, where I thought that hidding the emotions, burying them deep in my heart would be enough, only to realise later on that when they come back, it would hurt me ten times more.

She told me that Nagisa and Rin were both feeling that they don't fit in. So, I have a message to you, Rena. Nobody fits in anywhere. It is a trick of the mind. Everyone is different. No two person can fit together. Some that are able to fit a little becomes your friend. But 98.9% of the people on Earth are uncapable to do so. It all depends on humans's capability to adapt. That is how we are born into this world. Because we belong nowhere, so we have been given the ability to adapt to our surroundings. That was what I learnt at the end of the day, when I realised that I had been lying to myself the whole time.

I never knew what true happiness was, and probably never will.

And another thing... This is for Teana-chan... Erm, I know it is interesting to find out that I have a *cough* crush... But I have totally lost feelings for that guy now, so there is no need for you to bother anymore. Plus it is damn embarrassing cause I just realised that that guy is an idiot. Haha. But I probably liked him because he seemed different. However he is still extremely childish. =.=

And about my true personality thing... I think it has been a habit for my to keep the mask on when I'm in front of others. I find myself returning normal when I'm alone, but when my parents comes in and everything, I became someone else. It might take a while before I can seriously get this mask off. Of course, like everyone else, I have different sides. Make me angry and you will know what the end of the world is like. But that only applies when you make me angry 100%, which... is almost impossible to do.

These few days, I realised that I couldn't really laugh for real. Sometimes I would try laughing, only to realise that the laugh coming out of my mouth was emotionless. Reason? I don't know. It is almost as if my 'cheerful' personality is draining away bit by bit. Probably it is because my mask is cracking due to the things that has been occurring nowadays. I never really laugh when I am alone.

Being alone means you are being cursed of unhappiness, or fake happiness.

P.S. I feel that I should change the blog skin or something... I'm getting tired of it now... I will change it when I find a fitting one to replace it.

Introduce #4: Last post before Exams

The main point for this post is to show the new things that have come out in the anime world....

Asura Cryin' 2 OP


SONG: Alternative (オルタナティブ)
ARTIST: angela

*ehem ehem* The beginning is weird, I know. I was thinking that it was probably the worst OP ever... But then it turned EPIC. YES, SERIOUSLY EPIIIIIIIIC. For all those that do not know the storyline, the beginning is probably a spoiler (*SPOILER ALERT* The ones on the left are the ones from the Second Stage World of the story; the ones on the right are from the First Stage World...). So, overall, this would have been the most AMAZING opening for an anime if not for the beginning... But still, the fighting scenes are just perfect for that short 50 seconds. Better than the opening of the first season.

Asura Cryin' 2 ED


SONG: Kanata no Delight (彼方のdelight)
ARTIST: angela

Ah, this. This is really the BEST ENDING I've ever seen for an anime. Good song, perfect ending sequence, and great design.

White Album II OP


SONG: Mugen (夢幻)
ARTIST: Mizuki Nana

Might take a while for me to like this song... But I'll put it up since it is by Mizuki Nana. Anyway, it has more animation than the previous season, so I may say that it is better? (But the song from the first season is better though...) However, it do not really get the meaning of the opening sequence. What the heck is with the younger version of the girl and the sea turning red? This is whole load of s***ing crap. XDXDXDXDXD

White Album II ED


SONG: Akai Ito (赤い糸)
ARTIST: Suara

This song is better. Love how the song flowed. But like the opening, I still prefer the first season's... Anyway, I'm not watching this series anymore, only checking up on the songs they have. That is probably the one thing to look forward to in this anime. Or, if they can give a sudden good twist like in Asura Cryin', I might pick this anime back up again.

Another few new ones would be Shugo Chara Party!, but that anime is a little... *cough cough* gay *cough*. So, yeah. Haha. But you can try it out though. It is a little interesting now, with this new girl who can *CENSORED BECAUSE OF SPOILERS* and is *CENSORED AGAIN BECAUSE OF SPOILERS*. People may like to try it if they have caught on with the series till now. It's a nice children's show.

うみねこのなく頃に
Il giudizio finale sta per essere emesso
Nessuno può emendarsi dal peccato che scorre nelle vene
Sperare è peccato?
Quanto sarà pesante il mio castigo?
Ti accorgi delle voci senza voce?
Impossibile arrivare al vero segreto se non ci si accorge di tutto l’amore
"Each heart knows its own bitterness,
and no one else can share its joy."

PROVERBS 14:10 (NIV)
"Beatrice is dead. She's no longer here. However, in my heart, and on my back, she continues to live on! Casting a spell over Rokkenjima. Even when pierced by the red truth, I still can argue on, and if I break through, it's my victory! Who the hell do you think I am? I'm Battler! Not my Golden Witch Beatrice, but myself! Battler the Endless Sorcerer!"
