my opinion:
this is a good anime for someone who wants to laugh. because the humor in it is probably the reason why most people would watch it. second is the story. it’s not a allways-the-same romance story, but not that extra different either. the twins in this serie give you a little bit a shonen-ai feeling on the beginning. later it gets less. so you have to be able to watch shonen-ai scenes, but don’t worry there are not much of those scenes.

my ranking
story: 8
dialogue: 8
animation: 7
entertaiment: 8

total: 7,8

heey, mina-san

lately I was listening to some opening songs on youtube and I came to the opening of Ouran high school host club. I have seen this anime already and later I will give you a couple of episodes of it, but for now I wanted to discus the opening.

the song is called: sakura kiss and is sang by Kawabe Chieco.

here is the opening as seen in ouran host club:

I also have the lyrics of this song.

in romanji (Japanese):
kiss kiss fall in love
maybe you’re my love

kidzukeba itsudemo sobo ni iru keredo
honto wa irai? suki? mousou na no?
jibun no kimochi ga kurai ni mietara
redii demo hosuto demo kamawanai yo

suki ni natteku riyuu wa minna
chigau yo ne kedo maybe you’re my love

aitai ima yasashii kimi ni sakura kiss tokimeitara ranman koi shiyo
mirai yori mo ima ga kanjin uruwashi haru no koi wa hanasaku otome no bigaku

tatoeba atashi no mada shiranai kimi
mitsukete mitai kedo kowaku mo aru
denimu ni fururi ni kajuaru ni chaina
autabi shichi henge kakugo asobe

tsugitsugi hiraku ai no tobira wa
suriru mansai danzen koi shiyo

isogashikute surechigau hi mo sakura kiss, setsunai hodo ranman koi desu
yowai toko mo uketome aou fereau ai wa muteki sakasou futari wa shuyaku
mabushii sora ni makenai omoide tsukurou ima

aitai ima yasashii kimi ni sakura kiss, tokimeitara ranman koi shiyo
mirai yori mo ima ga kanjin uruwashi haru no koi wa hanasaku otome
no bigaku YEAH
hanasaku otome no bigaku

kiss kiss fall in love

maybe you’re my love.

if your looking for a transulation for this lyric, then go to http://www.animelyrics.com/anime/ouran/sakurakiss.htm there you will find it in english.

now the song in it orginal. it’s 3.44 min. long and there are lyrics with it so you can sing a long if you want!

oh.. I couldn’t help myself not to laugh. those bunny and frog and what ever all those animals were. that is so cute *kawai :P *
I think that in this clip Kawabe-san is sometimes a little bit playbacking-like, but a well what the hack.. the clip is so funny and cute!!!

*ahum..* sorry guys, had to expres myself for a moment.
but what do you actually think of it? please share it!

coming up next time… introduction of Ouran high school host club!

tatada.. do you know who is who?

hana kimi manga vs hana kimi Jdrama

who: AnimeAngel
mood: quite tired
thinking: today day off, tomorrow school again :P

heey guys,

hanakimi1.jpg hana kimi image by fruits_basket2u4u
who’s the girl here, you think?

the first manga I ever read was hana kimi (atually it is hanazakari no kimitachi e, but short it’s hana kimi). it’s a manga about an american girl, Mizuki Ashiya, who is trully fond of the Japanese highjumper Izumi Sano. when he stops highjumping, she decieds to go to him and find out why. but Izumi Sano is in a all-boys school, so she disguises herself as a boy to get close to Sano. but of course it’s not gonna be easy as a girl to live in an al-boys school, deffenitely not when you even have to share your room with your idol.

5f117e67.jpg ashiya mizuki image by asakari7 mizuki8.jpg mizuki ashiya image by lafouinemanga
this is Mizuki Ashiya as a girl…                           and as a boy!

hana_no_kimi_4_1024.jpg hana kimi image by anime_luver_03
a it’s cute couple, isn’t?

it was my first but was fantastic, trully! it’s very nice drawn and there’s a lot of humor too. what I also realised was that the story was not allways about Ashiya, but that there where a lot of short story’s about here friends she makes.

drawing: 8
plot: 9
characters: 9
so the mark for this manga should be a: 8.6
the genre is: gender bender, romance, humor, sports

and now the Jdrama Hana Kimi.
here is a short trailer about the show, so that you will know a least a little bit about it:

I was happily suprised that there has been a Jdrama made of this manga. I watched the first episode yesterday, and I must say that it was pretty good. for those who have read the manga it is quite hard to says who is who on the first sight. because the characters in the Jdrama are looking very different then those of the manga. Sano for example has short hair in the manga, but long hair in the Jdrama. so this was quite annoying. also was the story not totally the same as the manga. there where little things added want made it sometimes more funny or a little weird, but for those who haven’t read the manga yet it shouldn’t be a problem to follow the Jdrama.

so, if I have to give a mark,
story: 8
characters: 7
humor: 7
total mark: 7.3

my first post, by AnimeAngel

who: AnimeAngel 
my mood: happy
thinking of: i need to write, need to write..

hi there,

the one in the front is ueki
ohh.. glowing hands..

 this is gonna be my first post, so don’t expect to much of it! no just kidding ; D
i started to watch an anime lately by the name: the law of ueki. i though i might share it with you guys, so here’s first a introducion of what it is about and then my opinion.

well, the law of ueki is an anime for i think 10 till 16 year olds. it’s about a boy, ueki, who recieves special powers from his tutor. he can change any trash into trees. together with Mori, a friend of him, he tries the get stonger so that he can beat the people who are after him. his enemy’s are also powerusers. they fight him because of the competition they are in. it’s so that the one who can beat all the others will get the blank zai, on which he/she can write everything he one’s. with other words he/she can wish for anything. ueki believes in the right justice and wants to protect the blank zai, for falling into bad hands.

 well, that for the short introduction. i think this anime is very funny and it has a lot of different characters, who make this anime so interesthing. what i also noticed is that in this anime you don’t see blood. if you know bleach or naruto, you will notice this anime also has his action but the fighting is less more. i you like this kind of action more, then i deffinitely recommend this anime. oh and one think, ueki the major character is in his way of acting a lot like luffy from one piece, which cracked me up if you know what i mean.

story: 8
dialogue: 8
animation: 7
entertaiment: 9
so if i would have to give this anime a mark, i think it would be a 7.5
it’s humor, action, friendship, fantasy and a little drama.

here a couple pictures of characters:

uekiuekiname: ueki kousuke (major character)
power: change trash into trees – later: heavenly being

img255/6793/moriae7.pngname: mori ai (friend of ueki)
power: making anyone a glasseslover

img152/3074/robertya6.pngname: Robert Hayden (ueki’s rival)
power: he can change things to be very light or heavy – also heavely being

this for now,
see you later guys!!!
