とどけ!


Opening Theme: "君に届け (Kimi ni Todoke)" by Tomofumi Tanizawa. There are very few slow songs by males this soothing.. 涼しい..




アニメの世界に戻った! 楽しい! Have been pulling quite a few "all-nighters" these few days just to watch ANIME --- 身体 出来得る限りな!! HAHAHA


Here I am posting another great anime opening song, 君に届け, from the anime of the same name - 君に届け。I don't particularly go out to 'look' for shoujo anime, all those I've watched is mostly through chance/luck. After all, what drawn me to アニメ in the first place is 熱い shounen anime だ! Then moving on to explore other genres, science fiction, supernatural, martial arts, these are still my favourites.


Oh the point that I actually wanted to make is shounen anime now is so terrible now, that I would rather watch shoujo. If it is the me a few years ago, I would have shrugged off friends who would want to recommend me shoujo. The best moments is where I can be thrilled by a show, the adrenaline rush from watching a spectacular battle!!


less side-tracking pls

There is only 24mins in an episode, 26 episodes for most anime. (I have given up wishing that every anime gets to follow the manga to the end. It is too difficult to make a strong case, economically-risky to animate just everything, given the state of the industry. ) Good directing of a movie, not just anime, is very important, and it separates the trash from the oscars-nominees. Every minute of the reel counts, every action/plot turns must have a meaning(or best - multiple meanings).
And ああ.. how exciting, we have powerful magicians running away from a mere mob...
I would like to repeat again - only 24mins per episode. While most are not as bad as DragonBall (shudders), but still a large chunk of reeltime went to - (fan-service) either a guy accidently touches a woman/saw her in the buff, then receiving the beating for it. I am not against the harem, but the excessive service is killing the show! Absolutely nothing to do with the plot. Index is such a fine example. It has gotten so boring and monotonous, it's just suffocating. Touma is doing that all the time... just with different girls each time.
Yeah yeah another girl
An attack effective on Imagine Breaker


Punching a girl is so distasteful!
More 不幸


We would be a lot happier if Misaka was shooting coins instead of hounding Touma..
Whatever..



Nothing amazing, but this note puts a smile on your face
The appeal of Shoujo anime, is so beautifully simple, that when I think deeper about it, I don't know how it works . It reminds me of a Japanese word, 侘寂, generally meaning "Simplicity is beauty". You don't have fanciful fights, what you have however, are very normal human relationships. Yes, normal is the keyword here.

君に届け

The story begins with God of Hell deeming Emma Ai getting too emotional for her work, reincarnate Emma Ai back to the mortal realm, taking away memories of her tragic past, in the hopes that one day, recruit her back on the job again. Hehe ok that's my BS. But both characters share quite a lot of uncanny similarities, long hair; spooky look and most notably voiced by 能登麻美子. When it comes to super-super-popular shoujo series, there is almost only 2 character type (I reasoned ) for the -主人公, either ツンデレ (Tsudere) or ドジっ子 (Dojikko) Our innocent 天然 爽子-ちゃん. But she doesn't mess up so often that to the point it gets irritating in some(or many) cases - in some shows, like tripping every few steps, splashing food/drinks on everyone, breaking stuff, this kind of scenes are another reel-waster(next to fan-service).


そんな純粋な人わ矢っ張り 放っておけないんだ!


頑張って, さわこ!
遣り過ぎだ...
楽しいよ...
Innocence
More innocence..
(Oh I forgot what he saw )
さわこ-姉貴
はい, 120¥
That's right, さわこ..
友情!!
あれ?!
yeah! American-jin
Admiration
Kettai!


さわこ だ!! The power of anime make-overs.


The show is engaging, there are developments in every episode, every scene. First season, that is. From envious; admiration, then turning to love. Then that's where it stops, dead on its tracks, going in some circles. Hell, I never knew confessions can be so complicated, those 3 words. You just have to hand it to 椎名せんせい, how peoples' reservations, inferiority complex(es), uncertainties combined, that the simple act of conveying your feelings could become so messed up.. haha.. That love stories are so sad, frustrating, painful to watch. Makes me want to pull the characters out of the screen to give them a piece of my mind. links .
