Spring = New Anime!!!

Looking back, I suddenly realised that time really flies. It's been a year since the debut of Ouran High School Host Club and a month... since I've last updated. Lol, I know. Furthermore, the last post has got nothing even to do with anime but incoherent rants of a certain muscular (or not) body.

Kiba is completed with its 51 episodes series. Gintama is starting a new season. And I've finally updated my blog. WOW...

K, fine. I'll get straight to the point and without further ado, here's the much anticipated Anime of the Spring season 2007!!! *Clap, clap*

*Drums roll*


*Drums roll*


*More Drums roll*


*Still More Drums Roll*


FINE!FINE!!!
Here, I've got it! This season's anime list!

Claymore
Claymores are a half-human, half-demon hybrid. They fight, defending the society against Yomas, human-lookalike demons who feed on, (need I say) humans.

OP: unknown
ED: "Danzai no Hana~Guilty Sky" by Riyu Kosaka

Premieres April 4.


Shining Tears
This looks like some anime adapted from a game, and it is adapted, from a RPG computer game. Seeing how the number of female characters outnumber the male ones, I really hope this isn't some harem anime.

OP: "Shining Tears" by Souichiro Hoshi
ED: "Hikari no Silhouette (光のシルエット)" by Souichiro Hoshi
Premieres April 6.

Koutetsu Sangokushi
Imagine the use of mechas, during the period of the Three Kingdoms of Chinese History. Regardless, there's some pretty major voice talent here, including Miyano Mamoru (Light of Death Note, Tamaki of Ouran) and Ishida Akira (Athrun of Gundam Seed, Nagi of Mai HIME)

OP: "Nostalgia" by camino
ED: "Kuon" by Mamoru Miyano
Premieres April 6.

Darker than BLACK -Kuro no Keiyakusha-
Here, we have special powers, the Hell's Gate, a hot and aloof looking 'contractor'. Seriously, what more can you ask for?

OP: "HOWLING" by abingdon boys school
ED: "Tsukiakari" by Rie fu

Premieres April 6.



Kamichama Karin
This show simply oozes shoujo to me. It's a story about a 7th grader who discovers that her late mother's ring has the power to tranform her into a goddess. So very shoujo, but what the heck, I'm still giving it a shot.

OP: "Ankoku Tengoku" by Ali Project
ED: "Anemone" by Mai Nakahara
Premieres April 6.

Seirei no Moribito
It is about a female bodyguard who has to protect a boy whose body holds the egg of a Water Spirit, pursued not only by the Imperial Court but also by beings from a parallel dimension.

ED: "Itoshii Hito e (愛しい人へ)" by Sachi Tainaka

ED: "Kiss ~ Kaerimichi no Love Song" by Tegomass
Premieres April 7.

Sola

A story of a boy who loves the sky, a fated meeting, and... Vampires! ^_^

Kaibutsu Oujo
As compensation for resurrecting him, she pulls him into a world of chaos and it's his duty to fight off the monsters that came after her.

OP: "BLOOD QUEEN" by Aki Misato
ED: "Hizamazuite Ashi o Oname (跪いて足をお嘗め)" by Ali Project

Premieres April 13.

Kaze no Stigma

There's not much promotional material for this but judging from the Shana doppelganger, I guess this wouldn't be that bad.

OP: "blast of wind" by Saori Kiuji
ED: unknown

Premieres April 13.


Whew! That's about all the anime that I'm looking forward to this season. I haven't really covered all the anime that's gonna air this Spring, just the ones that i feel it gonna be interesting. On another note, I'm looking forward to their theme songs as well, esp. "HOWLING" by abingdon boys school, "Hikari no Yukue (光の行方)" by savage genius, "romanesque" by FictionJunction YUUKA, "Hayate no Gotoku" by Kotoko, "Proof" by Mell, and etc.

The premiere dates, however, are not confirmed yet. Correction will be made when the release dates are made clear.

Again, this Spring's season is much to be anticipated. So, have you decided what you're going to watch?

Ehh...Hairy Potter?!

Here, something non-anime for a change:

Add in a chivalrous white horse, a well-toned body and a sexy pose and you have Daniel Radcliffe in a way you would never imagine. Some speculation, however, have been raised on this topic, this picture has obviously been photoshopped.

Harry Potter couldn't possibly have this much muscles hair underneath him! How do I know, you ask? Because he's our fantasy prince, that's why. And Fantasy Princes barely have any hair underneath them (what the hell).

Regardless of those hairs, you'll probably have a nosebleed if you know what kind of thoughts are running through my head now. They're all indecent, dirty and *smirk* very very naughty...

Lol. Somebody stop me.

EDIT:

This rumour has been finally confirmed. That poster in no product of Photoshop! It's Daniel Radcliffe! In the flesh! Ahh... Looks like little Daniel's all grown up. Well, not that I care.

Anyway, here's another news flash for you. Rumours has it that Daniel will be showing some skin flashing during the latest Harry Potter movie that's due to come out in May. However true this is, I feel that this should still be taken with a pinch of salt.

Speaking of movies, I can't wait to watch Mr Bean's Holidays. I have a feeling I'll enjoy it. Tremendously.

Battle of the shinobi ladies!

Right, Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. After meeting the death god himself and had a narrow escape from his clutches of death, I hereby announce that I've finally recovered from the lazy-to-blog lost-of-inspiration sickness, a fatal illness that has kept me bedridden for weeks, which, goes to explain why the number of posts has been going down. Do note that now I've fully recovered, I can't wait to get this post down.


This week's entry is about the higly aniticipated Naruto Shippuuden, a follow up from its endless fillers. Naruto.S (short for Natuto Shippuuden) is finally doing away its fillers and following the mangaline. God bless the directors <3 Speaking of anime that has began switching to the manga plot, Bleach is another anime that I think is worth mentioning. Currently, both animes are already keeping me to the edge of my chair. They're really something comparable to the Pandora Box, never knowing what will hit you next.

I'm not gonna spoil you for the plot this time round, but here's a little peek into the amazing metamophorsis of some of the characters.


Okay... Now, on to the main purpose of this post. I believe that every hero has a heroine beside him, the problem is: Who should it be?


I would have set up a poll for this but I didn't know how. Yah, I know. Pathetic amateur blogger, that's me alright T_T But anywayz, this will make do. Now, the millionaire question: Who do you think, makes a better heroine for Naruto?

Personally, I like the NarutoXHinata pair. Never have I come across such adorableness (if there's ever such a word) and compatibility between them both. I know of some who would like to argue that Hinata's feelings for Naruto are not really that of real love, but of admiration. That's so-not-true! In fact, Hinata feelings for Naruto magnified during his 2 and a 1/2 years away for training. She became so shy that she dare not even meet him, afraid that she'll do something silly. Tell me, if that's not the usual coyness a female would have while in love, what's that?

Sakura, on the other hand, is not much of a romance partner in my perspective, no matter what the manga says. I feel that she's more like a friend, a really close friend, to Naruto instead of being romantically invovled. Besides, she did said that she likes Sasuke! Period!!!

Lol, point is: I'm all the way for NarutoXHinata pair. They're the cutest!

Please do comment and tell me who you're supporting for. I would really love to know what you guys are thinking. Thanks ^_^ Oh, and before I forgot, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!!!

More Ouran Fun!

Woot!. Mid-term's finally over and now we're back to more anime blogging! Hmmm... Well, manga blogging actually, for this post. Do you still remember how much you enjoyed watching Ouran High School Host Club (桜蘭高校ホスト部) last Spring season? Ouran (for short), is without a doubt one of the anime I enjoyed most. Its fun-filled episodes and eccentric characters crack me up without fail everytime. So here is something for you Ouran Lovers, particularly TamakiXHaruhi fans to rejoice over:

So, here you have, a down-with-cold Tamaki musing over his relationship with Haruhi. After the Ouran High Festival and the departure of the Monacco Princess, Tamaki suddenly felt the desperate urge to pull Haruhi into his embrace and gave her a kiss. For thinking such unpure thoughts, Tamaki felt that he may actually be more of a hentai (pervert) than he thinks and thus, is having second thoughts about being Haruhi's father.

And hahaha, the joke here is Tamaki's father telling Tamaki that it's okay to want to kiss your kid, even if he or she isn't a child anymore. So our finally-enlightened-hero, relieved that wanting to kiss your kid isn't abnormal behaviour, goes:

Bam! There you have it! The foolishly cute chronicles of Tamaki's silly but loveable antics. ^_^
