The first one...
SAMURAI X (episodes 1-12)
I borrowed this from M-ina... and thought that I haven't seen it and in truth I really have no idea how Kaoru and Kenshin met and also how they met with Yahiko and Sanosuke... but the last few episodes I do know because I have seen it before... a long time ago... so it was nice to relive my passion on Samurai X again... though can't wait until the next episodes though... I have been missing most of the episodes for a while and I also noticed that there are 95 (yes... 95) episodes of Samurai X althogether... (although that is nothing compared to more than 100 episodes for Inuyasha though...) I do also want to watch the motion picture though... hmm... gotta get it somewhere...OK... summary of the first 12 episodes is basically just normal storyline... how they met Megumi and tried to save her and then met with Aoshi... and about Sanosuke's past and about Yahiko's past and etc... quite a lot of small stories in between like when Kaoru was abducted by Jin-E and how Yahiko saved a girl that he likes (hehehe)... But the big story is Megumi's story... and about the Oniwabanshuu... this is Aoshi's group and he is the leader of the group who is hired to protect a druglord... (ps. Megumi sort of makes the drugs... she was forced to...)
A very good series... although I think the first few episodes stretch a bit but I guess it is necessary if you want to have a flow... I mean you can't just jump to the big story... but nonetheless a good first 12 episodes...
ALRIGHT!! NEXT!!
The second is...
RANMA 1/2
This is probably a strange anime to those who are not familiar with the manga... I know about this series because when I was little my couz gave two (VERY OLD) Ranma mangas... I was ecstatic back then... any manga to me is like a treasure... although I hated my mum for a while for selling some mangas that I have been buying since I was little because it has been occupying the storage room... so yes... now my collection back in Indo is mostly comprised of Detective Conan which in the beginning I thought it RULZ!! but the story started to stretch quite a bit and I think they must have run out of stories but in the end the manga sort of goes back in track again... but I don't like the anime version of Detective Conan though they suck! They don't have the sensitive hand of Aoyama Gosho... and it is too colourful and too hard-edged... so wrong... same as Naruto... (I LOVE NARUTO!!) it is so cool... if you ever have the chance to you should really give it a go... I was talking about the manga though... I hated the anime... now I just refuse to watch the anime... although I would most probably love the anime if I have seen it first before the manga...
Alright... alright... I know that I got a bit sidetracked back then... so here goes my summary as well as judgement on Ranma 1/2... although I have no idea on what episode I have watched... but I guess that's ok... I haven't finish it though... I think I still have a couple more episodes until the last of 1st season...But here's in store for the 1st season... the Tendou family comprised of the father and three daughter... apparently the father has arranged with the Saotome family (err... more like the fathers of both sides -- plus there are no mothers from both of the family, just trying to make that clear, but I think Ranma's mother is still alive...) that they will arrange a marriage between the Saotome's son and one of the daughters... when it was time for both sides to meet all goes well when the day came... although... the only problem is that a panda and a girl instead arrived at the house... and imagine the surprise of the Tendos to find the 'unwelcomed' guest...
But soon the Tendos learned that the girl was indeed the son and the panda was indeed the father, Genma... apparently whilst training in China they came across a very dangerous training field... and both of them fell to cursed springs... It's very complicated... I'm not really that good with explanations... Basically, now Ranma turns into a girl whenever he is hit with a cold water and turns back into a guy whenever the girl Ranma is showered with warm or hot water...
So... both families stay in one house and weird and strange things started to happen... Ranma's old rival, Ryoga, showed up and fell in love with Akane... he was cursed too by the way... and then Shampoo, a rival of the girl Ranma showed up too and fell in love with the boy Ranma... and crushes also started too with Tatewaki Kuno 'loving' both Akane and the girl Ranma while his younger sister, Kodachi -- with a very twisted mind-- started to like Ranma...Trust me it has such a bizarre storyline... and in the middle the story is a bit too boring and strange and weird but really funny to watch actually... but the crushes... and the love notes and everything are really strange, weird, unusual and just all in all have a very very VERY bizarre (contributed by M-ina thank you very much) storyline... although I do want to know about the last episodes though (I think) where Ranma tries to find a cure for the curse and met Shampoo's old grandmother or trainer or whoever she is who is related to Shampoo and I want to find out whether he really did find a cure or not... (if you already know please don't mess it up for me...)
You want to keep watching this because I thought that Ranma was very cute with Akane (Ranma is very cute too btw :P)... so if you are a romantic and don't mind it when strange and funny things started to happen this would definitely your type, it is hilarious, witty and a delight to watch just be careful because it is a very weird anime...
ALRIGHT!! That is all for today... and just a note I have been downloading soo many songs these days it is soo painful... here's the list:
