I should be studying for my last two finals but instead I bring you the latest insert song from Angel Beats! Thousand Enemies is performed by LiSA as Yui and was played during episode 5. After listening to it a few times I think this may be my favorite Angel Beats song. I really like the lyrics and it’s just so fun to sing. I’ll get around to the other 2 songs on the single at some point but for now have fun with this translation!

So have you ever felt like doing something after watching an anime? You know the strange sensation to live out what just happened to recreate the magic, get in touch with characters or something else. Okay maybe not everyone does that but as embarrassed as I am I admit to doing that quite a bit. Well I’ve been feeling like that ever since watching the latest episode of Angel Beats. I wanted to understand the one thing that Kanade was looking forward to after Yuri ruined her life. Aorii and I went out to get some dinner and brought back some mapo tofu from a local Chinese restaurant. It was great. I can sympathize even more with her and how she was denied her one simple pleasure.

YURI YOU ASS! TENSHI JUST WANTED TO EAT HER MAPO TOFU ALONE AFTER YOU RUINED HER LIFE!

I don’t normally do episodic posts but after watching the latest episode of Angel Beats I felt that I had to make a slight exception. If you haven’t watched this far skip this post. Otherwise keep going for possible ranting.

Just when I thought I was done with translating Key songs for the time being I was surprised yet again today by the release of Kud Wafter’s opening song one’s future. It is sung by none other than Suzuta Miyako the voice of lead heroine Noumi Kudryavka. There are four versions of the song on the single including the regular version, a special “live” version and two instrumental versions. Surprisingly there is a lack of any Engrish considering the character singing. At the very least there is plenty doubling up of words so it sounds very cutesy. I made sure to retain that in my translation as best I could. The game won’t be out until June 25 but until then enjoy this translation of the song!

Finally here’s the last Angel Beats insert song from the Crow Song single. Alchemy is sung during the middle of episode 3 and is pretty amazing. Translating this was a little more difficult than Crow Song or My Song but hopefully it turned out right. Have fun with this translation!

As promised when I did Crow Song here is another one of the Angel Beats insert songs. This time it is My Song which was sung at the climax of episode 3. I think out of the three songs on the single this may be my favorite one. Anyway only Alchemy left. For now enjoy my translation and transliteration.

I didn’t realize that the Angel Beats insert song singles would be released this soon so unexpectedly I’ll be working on all of them today. First off is Crow Song which appeared near the end of episode 1. Hopefully I’ll have the other two songs Alchemy and My Song up relatively soon. For now enjoy my transliteration and translation of the song.

With the first episode or two of the new season’s anime out it’s time to give my first impressions of all the shows I’m watching. As this will be quite text and picture heavy I’ll get started right away. Note: Series are ordered in roughly the order I enjoyed them except for the two OVAs at the bottom of the list. Also I like Angel Beats and K-ON equally well. Anyway let’s go!

Looking ahead to the next season it seems I won’t be watching too many new series just like the winter season. However the few shows that I will be picking up will be more than enough to keep me entertained. Let’s have a look at what I’ll be watching:

Exactly two years ago I posted “my ideal family” if it were to consist of anime, manga and game characters. Basically the idea came to me when I stumbled on an amazing thread randomly in which people would post a list of characters to form a family. Think of Kyouran Kazoku Nikki and that’s pretty much the basic premise. I found the idea so amusing that I started seriously thinking about it and after some major contemplation I posted my list a few days later. Suddenly two years have passed and I’ve finally gotten around to updating my family roster. I’ve been planning to redo it for a while since I have an even bigger “gene pool” from which to select family members from. The list is divided into the family I grew up with and the family I raise as an adult. Continue on for some strange shenanigans.
