What have I been up to???

I know I know... I haven't been on the blog for quite a while now... I have a pretty good reason for that... I have been kinda splurging on animes... yes... those series animes... I have just recently discovered that my local movie store has a whole shelf dedicated to animes... but there are not a large range of selection but... just enough to make you want to borrow the next one... but first I have to tell you one that my friend (m-ina, you know who you are... maybe...) lend to me...

About one anime that she found so intriguing but to tell you the truth at first glance it doesn't look like one of those animes that I would particularly be interested by... so what happened??? I still wanted one... ^--^ and what do you think happened when I watched it??? I LOVED IT!! I kept on watching until volume 3 but as time would have it my body was still awake and yet my mind keep telling me that I have to sleep since it is already 3 in the morning... so... I postponed the viewing of the last volume... even now I still haven't watch it... It is called FRUITS BASKET... to tell you the truth (m-ina) I didn't really like the artwork at first glance but when I started watching it I started to umm... appreciate it ^--^ but the story??? The story is sooooo good that you don't want to keep your eyes away from the screen nor get up from your seat to change the DVD... I don't really know if I should tell you the story since it is sort of... complicated in a way and I don't really want to spoil the fun out of the whole thing but the summary of the story itself is not one of those summaries that you would find particularly interesting so I am just going to say that it is one of the cutest anime story I have ever seen...

Next on the list would be Please Twins... I hate to say but it is just such an average anime with a lot of sexual themes... the story goes like this... Maiku Kamishiro's past has always been somewhat of a mystery to him. The only clue he has to who is family might be is an old photograph showing two young children, a boy and a girl, playing in a small pool outside of a blue house. In an attempt to find his family, he moves to this blue house and begins working as a programmer. He's living a comfortable life until the day two very different girls show up at his door, both in possession of the same photograph, and both claiming to be his twin. With no way to prove who is a relative and who is a stranger, Maiku allows both girls to move in with him until they know for sure. (this summary is from animenewsnetwork.com... I am too intellectually retarded to write some hehehe) but I would say that the story is intriguing and makes you want to know more... especially after the 3rd episode of volume 3... the shop hasn't got volume 4 *hicks....

The next is Full Metal Panic... I like Sosuke Sagara he's soooo CUTE!!! I don't particularly know the story as of yet coz I've only just seen the 1st volume... but I guess you can say that this is a particularly guys' type of anime with a lot of machines and stuff... hehehe... not really good on describing the anime am I??? Anyways... when I first saw the first EPISODE my first impression was I don't like it but then the story starts to unravel it started to get interesting... but I still say that this would probably appeals more to the guys with a medium level of violence incorporated with it...



Next is... Peace Maker... and the story goes... Tetsunosuke Ichimura wants to get revenge far his father being killed by a Chisouu assasin and in order to avenge his father Tetsunosuke tries to join the Shinsengumis... Tetsunosuke is not what you can call a fighter type with his small stature but he is determined to avenge his father and willing to go head to head with one of the most experienced Shingumi, Souji Okita... of course... he lost... but his determination and will is recognised and so he joined the Shinsengumis with his big brother who already has been accepted, Tatsunosuke... I have to say too that this anime would probably be most appealing to guys too... since there are a lot of blood gushing out of cut bodies... or as the more appropriate terminology... medium level violence...

Therefore the next would be... D.N.Angel... Daisuke Niwa is your average boy... that is until his 14th birthday... the Niwa family has a 'cursed' gene which can only be in the male side of the family... now whenever Daisuke's enamoured he becomes the legendary phantom thief, Dark Mousy... (I would have no idea why they would put Mousy as a last name... weird...) and yes his mom is much aware of this and thus for reasons unknown to Daisuke he has to turn to Dark and steal valuable artworks to seal the curse on the artworks... And as the story unfolds we are also told of Dark's other self, Krad and also that one of his classmate has the same ability as Daisuke... and turn into Krad... You might ask why I liked this anime but the guys are sooo CUTE!!! especially Dark and Krad... cute cute cute... ooo just too cute... the story is also well prepared and you want to know more of why and how and all those stuff... (very detailed aren't I???)

The next one would be... (drum roll please...) INUYASHA!!! *sigh... one of the best story ever written I can say... but I won't bother to write the story instead I will let animenewsnetwork.com to explain it to you since I am just encapsulated towards the story I might tell you about the whole series that I have watched... Higurashi Kagome, after being pulled down a well by a demon, finds herself in Feudal Japan, where she learns that a powerful jewel has been reborn inside her body. After the jewel shatters in an attempt to retrieve it from one of the many demons who was after its power, Kagome must join forces with the half-demon Inu Yasha (also after the jewel's power) to track down the shards of the jewel before its power falls into the wrong hands... That is the plot summary... BUT I LOVE THIS ANIME!!! *tears in eyes... *hicks... if only they have the whole collection... the store only has it until the 7th volume which to my dismay is not finish yet... and I also predicted this too by the way... when I thought that the whole thing would finish by then but it turns out to be the opposite... *hicks... And I dare say that the maker of this anime is probably the same one who did one of my fav anime of all time Ranma 1/2... *sigh... NEED 8TH VOLUME DARN IT!!! *sigh *sigh *sigh

That is the whole animes that I have watched and regretfully have to stop because they don't have the whole series huueeee.... (crying eyes out) *hicks *hicks *hicks.... anyways... this is actually my second attempt at finishing the review because being as silly as I am I pressed things I should not pressed and suddenly discovered myself with a blank piece of blog but fortunately Blogger has a new Recover Post button which only goes up to the Please Twins section but it helps quite a lot (thanks Blogger's IT people!!! hehehehe)
