Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
Once, twice, the bell toll echoes, far and wide in the heart.
Like in a story, stellar droplets fall and inside narrow tracks are built.
In time, the times will move.
The drifting stars will quietly move.
Close your eyes, listen closely..."why?"
G-O-O-D Bye!
Release the light.
Don't give up, be strong!
Now let 'em out, until they reach someone.
The light of Glory lies just beyond here, it's the story we all create together.
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
The thoughts and wishes of the past will cross the ages, and arrive just as vividly.
In your sparkling eyes, someone's scream is reflected, "Feelings on the wind, Today I'll live life to the fullest, too."
Look up at the light of the stars in the night sky.
The thoughts and wishes of the past will cross the ages, and arrive just as vividly.
One day, our feelings will reach someone's heart, as well.
Shine on!
Like that star

NOIR

NOIR, it is the name of an ancient fate, two maidens who governed death, to the depths of hell's fire their black souls lure the lost children. NOIR, it is the first anime series that I have ever seen. It is the series that started my adventure into anime. For me, it was the intriguing mystery that got me hooked. The storyline does start out a little slow, but it makes up for it in the end. The characters are very dynamic. Animation was well done. Overall a very great series and I would recommend to just about anyone. My favorite character is definitely kirika. The blond girl (name can't be spoken) was just there. Her skills were not that great. If it wasn't for kirika, she would have died very early in the series.

Well, I really don't know what to say about this one. I definitely liked the mystery that surrounded the series. The main character was a little on the whimpy side. It had decent animation, but the end of the story was horrible. I know that there have been remakes of the end of the series, but I am not going to watch them. It was definitely a let down. The last two episodes where a collection of poorly animated sequences that made no sense whatsoever. It was supposed to represent the project to cause mankind to turn into goo, and thus all the minds were intertwined at the end. Weird to say the least.

Overall, not a bad series. I liked the action in it. Somewhat similar to My Otome with similar characters. Slightly different story lines. Interesting plot with some minor but predictable twists. I thought that the use of Mai's child was an interesting ploy. Overall, it was a favorite of mine. I always like the series that has a long developing theme througout, but gives you enough action during the episodes to keep you interested.

Bleach

Bleach, bleach, bleach, no it is not a household cleaner (AV guy you don't know what you are talking about). I must admit, it drew me in. It was a little weird at first, but then it took off, and I have been enjoying it ever since. The only episodes that I didn't like were the Bonta arc episodes. I mean really, Ichigo took a big step backward for that one. Anyways, the series is still ongoing, hopefully they can maintain the good storyline and have fewer fillers. I hate fillers.

Naruto Shippuuden

Well, I have seen all the current episodes of Shippuuden. I definitely like it. Finally, they let Naruto have some skill. Hopefully, the series will continue be good. Of course the one thing that I dislike, is having to watch 10 episodes to see the conclusion of one battle.

Naruto

Well, I have finished the 220 episodes of Naruto and I have begun watching the Naruto Shippuuden. The Naruto series was good, but the fillers just got annoying after awhile.

Naruto

Just recently I have started watching Naruto. So far, it is not bad. There has only been a few bits of recall, hopefully, it will not get any worse. That has to be one of the worst drawbacks to the Inuyasha series. Inuyasha was a good series, but the amount of review that was put into it just went way beyond ridiculous. I will continue to watch Naruto until I decide whether I truly like it or not.

Inuyasha: The Series: 1st Opening

Thu, 26 Apr 2007 17:02:42 GMT

I want to change the world
Without letting go of my passion
Towards the fast-beating future
If I reach out my hand
It should be able to shine
It's wonderland
your heart was trembling
The morning's unseeable night
Without believing a thing
I covered my ears
The time I first met you
I found the place that I really belong
Your casual gentleness was here
So we awaken
I want to change the world
I won't falter a second time
The future with you
If I could choose the form
I would fly anywhere
Change my mind
Without letting go of my passion
Towards the unknown tomorrow
Let's spread our wings
I'm sure that we could soar
It's wonderland

It looks good, but is it edible? Who knows, but I think that it would be best if you didn't eat it.

Gatekeepers 21 2nd Opening

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 00:10:23 GMT

If I have a smile today
If I have your smile today
When I ran out of breath and turned around
Your were always there
Smiling at me
Sure footsteps echoing in my heart
As I near despair
In the blue sky, the birds fly
Their wings to shake off
Their sadness
Now, there is hope
There is hope in my heart
This time, let's open
The gate of tomorrow
Now, I have courage
I have passionate courage
So, let's stand up smiling
Get up, my heart
Now, fly towards the future
My heart

Gatekeepers 21 1st Opening

Tue, 10 Apr 2007 00:07:31 GMT

The sound of wings in deep night
Is the echo of distant days
Of young childhood
The boat of the moon
Softly drops a tear
Call me
The name of faraway summer
Time passes
Everyone is gone
It is sad, the pretty
Dawn

Inuyasha 1: Affections Touching Across Time

Wed, 04 Apr 2007 01:03:35 GMT

I just finished watching this movie for about the 100th time. I, of course, had to watch it with the Japanese audio. I just don't really care for the English versions. The English voice actors don't seem to do a very good job.
One of the nice things about the movies is that you don't have to have watched the series to totally understand the movie. The movie does a brief synopsis of what is going on which also incorporates some brief clips of the 1st and 2nd episodes (if memory serves correctly, I believe the episodes are called The girl who overcame time and the boy who was just overcome, and The seekers of the sacred jewel).
As with the series, the animation is good. It has a good story line. I hated the use of the butterflies. The main question appears, why would a person be scared of a butterfly as when Kagome screams and ducks when the butterflies fly toward her. Another thing is that Sesshomaru really had no role in the movie so why did he make an appearance. Maybe to tell the audience that Kikiyo is dead or just to be eye candy for the ladies. I am not sure which.
I enjoyed the character development between Kagome and Inuyasha escpecially when Kagome is forced home. Then again, the movie is called affections touching across time or love that transcends time so it would follow that the subject of the love that transcends time should be a highlight of the movie.

Wed, 14 Mar 2007 00:27:58 GMT

Well, I finished the entire series of the fullmetal alchemist. Overall, it was a very good series. It had some interesting plot twists howbeit predictable. It had some interesting character development and good designs. At some points, the animation seemed a bit childish, but that is to be expected in any anime series. The major downfall with this anime is the ending. I definitely did not care for the ending. I know that the movie ends the series and I have seen the movie (more in an upcoming post). I still did not like how the series ended or the ending of the movie.

Lyrics to the song Brothers from Fullmetal Alchemist

Wed, 07 Mar 2007 11:53:02 GMT

Forgive me, younger brother
I am so guilty before you
It is forbidden to try to regain
That which the land has taken

He who knows the Law of Genesis
Would have helped me to find the answer
I was cruelly mistaken:
There is no medicine for death

Dear mama! How tender!
We so loved you
But all our strength
Was for naught

I tempted you
With wonderful hope
To regain our family hearth
My brother, I am guilty in everything

Don't cry, don't be saddened, older brother
You are not the guilty one
We have but one road
We will atone for this guilt 'til the end

I don't accuse you of anything
And I am not offended in the least
A burden, our sin
Of wanting to be stronger in everything

Dear mama! How tender!
We so loved you
But all our strength
Was for naught

I myself was tempted
With wonderful hope
To regain our family hearth
I myself am guilty in everything

But what are we to do, how to be
How to repair everything, how to forget?
It is forbidden to try to regain
That which the land has taken

Please rip apart the old memories with your hands
And stop sadness completely
Now pierce through my heart which is in love
I look up at the sky where tomorrow should arrive
Looks like I cannot use my heart well, for it is full of worries
A bird near me flew
I wonder if it was able to find light
Will you let me ride on your back
Then leave me behind at the world's highest place and keep me away from kindness
Please rip apart the old memories with your hands
And stop sadness completely
Now pierce through my heart which is in love

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd gig Opening Words

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 23:33:13 GMT

I'm a soldier, meaning that I'm
Both the defendent and the judge
I'm standing on both sides of the fire
Going around turns, overtaking death and life
I'm running to fight with the shadow of a lie
No matter how many threads deception would weave
Truth will show its face of light

*Save your tears
for the day
when our pain is far behind
on your feet
come with me
we are soldiers stand or die
Save your fears
take your place
save them for the judgement day
fast and free
follow me
time to make the sacrifice
we rise or fall

[Note: TV Size ends here]

I'm a soldier, born to stand
in this waking hell I am
witnessing more than I can compute
pray myself we don't forget
lies, betrayed and the oppressed
please give me the strength to be the truth
people facing the fire together
if we don't, we'll lose all we have found

*repeat

After a dream to the edge of a chasm
Only that way can the world be saved
Don't you cry,
Hide the tears,
Because a new day will start
Your fire
Will be heated
By thousands of hearts
But now get up
Hide the pain and fear far
The one who's right will win
Know that everything is in your hands

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Opening Words

Tue, 20 Feb 2007 23:32:01 GMT

Angels and demons were circling above me
Swishing through the hardships and milky ways
The only one who doesn't know the happiness
is the one who couldn't understand his call

Gentle wish, gentle wish
Heavenly glories, heavenly glories

I am Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer...

Gentle wish, gentle wish
Heavenly glories, heavenly glories

Stand alone... Where was life when it had a meaning...
Stand alone... Nothing's real anymore and...

...Endless run...
While I'm alive, I can try not to fall while flying,
Not to forget how to dream... how to love
...Endless run...

Calling Calling now, for the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling Calling now, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what's left of loving

To stay myself longer...
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
To stay myself longer...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
To stay myself longer...

Gentle wish, gentle wish
Heavenly glories, heavenly glories
Gentle wish, gentle wish
Heavenly glories, heavenly glories

And you don't seem to understand
A shame, you seemed and honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to wisper in your ear
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing

I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
