Myself; Yourself

Myself ; Yourself GirlsSadly, the fall 2007 anime season is coming to an end. As such, I might start posting a number of post-season impressions/reviews with the first one being Myself ; Yourself. My initial reason for wanting to watch it was that I saw the PV for the PS2 Visual Novel Game which also announced an anime version. The art was nice so I decided to check it out.

Higurashi no Shoushitsu Christmas

Higurashi Third SeriesSo what’s up with today’s post’s weird title? I felt that the 3 topics that I am about to type up are not large enough by themselves to constitute separate posts. Anyways, the 3 topics for today are Higurashi, Haruhi, and iM@S.

AIR Movie: AKA Toei Fails Hard

Despite being a huge KEY fan, I have not watched the AIR movie until just now. I knew I would be disappointed watching it after the fantastic TV version by KyoAni, so I resisted watching it for almost 3 years now. Since the CLANNAD Movie will be released on DVD pretty soon, I finally gave in and discovered how much Toei Animation fails at adapting KEY’s work. Toei took everything that made AIR magnificent and replaced it with terrible art/animation, horrific musical rearranges, a simplified and clichéd plot, and flat and just plain wrong characterizations. If you want to avoid my long rant/avoid spoilers, stop reading here and take my advice that AIR TV is made of WIN and AIR Movie fails hard.

(I’ll explain in detail why I hate the AIR Movie once I regain my ability to think clearly)

*edit: It’s not worth my time and effort to explain why it was so awful*

Semester in Review

I know this is kind of late so please forgive me. This semester in JAPN 101 has been pretty good overall but now it’s the end. In the beginning, I wasn’t even officially in this class for about a week and a half until someone dropped out and I took their spot. Thank goodness or else I wouldn’t have made the friends I have now. Of course I would not have been able to learn Japanese like I have been attempting to since I left Japan either but that was a given.

Danketsu iM@S ALL STARS

iM@S GirlsAs I have mentioned in a previous post, I am BIG iM@S fan. Last year as part of a poetry project, I made a video using the footage for the iM@S song Watashi ha Idol while recording my voice and reading a poem to the tune of the song. The second part of the project consisted of scenes from Kanon while I recited my own original poem about Kanon to the song Last regrets X-mas floor style.

Speech Project Draft 2+Thoughts

Fredericksburg House私はきょねんブルークポイントこうこうの四ねんせいでした。ブルークポイントはバージニアのスタッファードにあります。スタッファードはクアンティコとフレデリックスバーグのあいだです。私はあたまがいい学生ですから、こうこうはやさしかったですよ。あたまがいいはえいごでSmartといいます。先生もクラスメイトもすきです。やさひい人ですから。でもクラスはつまらなかったよくですから、クラスがすきあまりではありませんが、アーツのクラスがすきです。アーツは私の一ばんすきなクラスですから、三ねんぐらいありました。でも四ねん生の時にAP生ぶつ学がありましたから、APアーツがありませんでした。たいていAP生ぶつ学でえをかいて、よかったです。クラスでよくアニメのえをかきましたが、時々人といえのえもかきました。まい日ひまな時にれんしゅうしますから、きれいなえですよね。クラスメイトのえをかきましょうか。きれいですよね。

Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori

Jigoku Shoujo

Enma Ai WebOnce again its seems that I could not help but try to lighten my anime backlog so I ended up having a second Thanksgiving Marathon and watching the rest of Jigoku Shoujo Futakomori. Futakomori is the the follow up to the original Jigoku Shoujo and once again follows Enma Ai and the rest of Jigoku Tsuushin. Each episode follows the suffering of an individual from the beginning of the hatred to the point where they can no longer tolerate it and resort to accessing Jigoku Tsuushin. Each story is different and accurately showcases the boundlessness of human hatred and cruelty in the form of bullying, extortion, domestic violence, rape, torture, murder, and whatever else I have neglected to mention.
