Hanasakeru Seishounen - Episode 11

So sorry for posting late Hanasakeru 11, subs of m.3.3.w are a little bit delayed. But my wait is worth it as this episode revealed so much!!!!

Based from what I analyzed, Rumati and Kajika are actually cousins. Am I right? Let me explain.

Catherine fell in love with Mahati and they had a child. The child is Harry, Kajika's father. But since Mahati is already arranged to marry Aliena-sama.,Mahati left Catherine to convince his father about his engagement with Catherine and promised to come back. She left Catherine in the hands of Fred, who took the role of father to Harry. Mahati didn't had the chance to come back and as to why, it was not mentioned but I assume that he didn't convinced his father and was forced to marry Aliena-sama. So assuming that Aliena and Mahati married, their son could be Rumati's father. Gets?

I was really shocked when I get to learn about this and I salute Fred for being so strong and for being a gentleman for taking the responsibility of being Harry's father even if Catherine's heart is always for Mahati. He said that they didn't really get that passionate with each other but they respected each other's feelings and that's how they both survived during the years. Mahati didn't get to come back for unknown reasons and so Fred had to to take care of her queen and their prince in his place.

As shocking as it is, it explains why Kajika and Rumati looks so much alike with each other. They share the same ancestor in the person of Mahati.

I again admire Kajika for loving and appreciating his foster grandfather, Fred. Even if she knew that she has a different grandfather, she is still giving the utmost importance for Fred. Fred has also loved Kajika and cares for her so much that he asked Li Ren to take care of her Kajika.

And speaking of Li ren......how can I forget this guy? I haven't seen him in a while and so I am so happy to see him again. His cuteness and coolness would never fail to amuse me. He always makes me love him more!!!!!!!!

Next episode, Rumati and Eugene is on the scene. Hopefully this time, subs will be out in a much faster time!!!! :)

Element Hunters - Episode 3

Just as I predicted, Element Hunters is a very typical hero-type anime but what makes it unique is it's touch of Chemistry.

We continue from the previous episode where Chiara and Homi stil didn't want to become Element Hunters. Ren is so enthusiastic about it that he is willing to go to Nega Earth alone. There's a little misunderstanding between the three of them especially between Ren and Chiara. It even came to the point that they exchanged harsh words with each other. Good thing, Homi is there to stop them.

But in the later parts of the episode, Ren begged for Chiara and Homi to become Element Hunters because they can help him in his grand plan to be able to defeat the QEX. Of course, he got a big No from the two but everything changed towards of the end of the episode. He also said that being an Element Hunter is important for him since he found something that he can do. He's a flunkie at school but with being an Element Hunter, a thing that only he can do, he felt special and was inspired to do it.

So what influenced Chiara and Homi to be Element Hunters too?
They do not want things to simply disappear. They remembered their childhood experience together where they were bonded by an Element Disappearance. They were at the brink of loosing Sena, an orphan dog that they saved in the collapsing structure because of the Element Disappearances. They both realized that they should protect those who are special to them.

As for Ally's team, they got to do the action this time as they recovered the 6th element, Carbon. Meanwhile, the element Silver is reported to be disappearing in some areas.

And oh, what's interesting for me is that Juno has memories. I thought she is an android and so why does she have memories such as those??? Hmmm..I guess it's one of the twists Element Hunter has to offer :)

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Episode 1

Finally, after a long while, I was able to watch the first episode of Tokyo Magnitude.

Since I am amused by the first episode, this would be a definite parfait from me. I will try my best to catch up with all the backlog episodes that I missed because of watching this so so so so late.

And so the first episode of this series focused on the introduction of the main character, Mirai Onozawa. As much as I like the first episode is how much I hate this character. She's a middle school student who has grown tired of her life. All she did the entire episode is to whine and bitch around, hating people for the way she is being treated. Her family is not so good since her parents are always fighting like cats and dogs and she wouldn't care about it.

My most hatest part when Mirai acted all bitchy was when she and her younger brother Yuuki was buying gift for their mother. They saw a nice pink flowery bracelet (I think) that could be a good gift to their mother but unfortunately, somebody got it first. After seeing that the two of them wanted that, she is very gracious to return it to them, understanding that it for their mother. Stupid Mirai, she got irritated because of this because she thinks that she is being treated like a child. Instead of thanking the lady who gave it back, she had the guts to get irritated and act like that.

So much about Mirai but the reason why I want to continue watching this is because of the last few parts of the episode where the earthquake started. The effects and the animation are all so great! I also got interested on how the story would unfold and how will these affect the life of the characters.

Princess Sarah to be a drama this fall

Remember "Princess Sarah"?


The next starring role for young actress Mirai Shida (16) will be in a drama series on TBS this fall. The drama is titled "Princess Sara" (alternatively, "A Little Princess") and is based on a famous children's story that was turned into an anime in Japan.

"A Little Princess" was originally written in the UK during the late 1800s by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The story became famous worldwide and was adapted as a successful Broadway play, as well as multiple musicals, films, and television works. In 1985, the story was animated in Japan by Nippon Animation as part of the "World Masterpiece Theater" series, under the title "Princess Sara."

The TBS drama has Shida playing the part of Sara, a high school student whose father is extremely wealthy. After her father dies and his business collapses, leaving her penniless, the school's director and Sara's previously jealous classmates take the opportunity to make her life miserable. But despite their bullying, Sara endures it with a positive attitude. Kanako Higuchi (50) plays the school director, while Kento Hayashi (18) plays Sara's love interest Kaito.

Filming will start on September 1 in India, since Sara lived there until entering high school. TBS has scheduled the drama in its Saturday 8:00pm time slot, starting this October.

Shida Mirai is known for her roles in Tantei Gakuen Q and in 14 sai no haha. :)

I'll be looking forward to this drama! :D i always watch Princess Sarah when I was still a kid and it's really full of morals. ;) I still remember "Lavinia" being the antagonist and she has a blond hair! ahaha. :)) Everyone, please look forward to this drama! :D I like how Shida Mirai acts and i'm sure this is another worth waiting drama. ♥ *okay, now back to studying*

This sexy, young lady is single no more as she announced last October 2008 that she is pregnant and married to Mohd Shazril. She successfully gave birth to their first child, Mila last April 24, 2009.

Her discography includes 6 singles and 2 albums. Because of her popularity and huge fanbase, her songs would always be included in the Oricon Hit Charts. Sales of her singles and albums are also well accepted by her fans as she can sell thousands of copies easily.

Her singles include:

Well, the reason why Leah Dizon was chosen was because a cousin of ours like her because of her beauty and talent.

I just hope that she will be able to comeback to the entertainment industry.

Detective Conan - Chapters 701-702

Detective Conan Manga Special Double Post!

Chapter 701: Hint of Red and13
Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim

Chapter 701: Hint of Red and 13
This chapter simply gave hints of the current bombing case:

• Two shirts were sent on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th and 7th week. Only on the 4th week did the sender sent 1 shirt.
  
• A total of 13 shirts were sent.
• There's a red mark on the man's (the one with the bomb) shoulder.
• Each shirt has their own receipt. So there are a total of 13 receipts.
• The date on the receipts are same on the delivery receipts so the shirts were bought and sent on the same day.
• There's a mark on the torn receipt for the 7th Week. It's a mark of the Beika Department Store which means that the shirts were bought there and all are bought at exactly 12:29.
  
• The receipts were torn because of the intention of hiding where the shirts were bought. But only on the 7th week's receipts are not properly torn and besides if you want to just hide where the shirts were bought, you only have to tear the left side.
  
• The shirts have a weird crease.
  

Another interesting part is that Gin has Chianti as a sniper so that when the Akai look a like comes out, he would be shot, again. Kir, on the other hand is Gin's hostage. If it will be proven that Akai is alive and well, Kir would be dead.

Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim

Conan was able to solve one half of the case, after knowing the intention of the sender of the shirts. Now, all he has to do is to find out the intentions of the bomber man who is inside the department store. This bomb case is related to a snow mountain incident 10 years ago where an experienced mountaineer died.

Based from Conan's investigations, he said that culprit from 10 years ago, the bomber, is very confident that his crime in the past won't be discovered. But what Conan doesn't understand yet is why does the bomber man need to go through such a commotion. He said that he will first wait and see on what will happen.

In a hint given in the previous chapter about the creases on the shirts, if folded following creases, you would get a code that is still undeciphered. This is somewhat related to a Sherlock Holmes case, The Adventure of the Dancing Men.

Meanwhile, Subaru has also deduced as far as Conan can deduce but he then spots Akai's look-a-like. He went far back and gave a revealing bold smile.

As for Kir, she was somehow able to convince Gin that Akai is dead and he sould not worry about it anymore. Gin responded that if Akai is really alive, then he would just kill him again.

Naruto - Chapter 458

Chapter 458: The 5 Kages' Arguement

~ The Kages are arguing as the meeting convenes~
~Sai tells Sakura that Naruto loves her~

The meeting of the 5 Kages continue and they are not talking perfectly well. It seems that the Kages are not into good terms with each other, with the way they talk and the way that they relate with each other, they look like they are not real allies.

The issue of Akatsuki being used by village for their personal reasons became the first issue they talked about. Gaara, the Kazekage stood innocent after knowing that Suna has used Akatsuki before to destroy Konoha under the influence of Orochimaru who posed as the Kazekage. The Mizukage also mentioned about the previous Mizukage being controlled by someone, which she didn't think should be given too much attention.

Anyway, Mifune suggested an alliance between the 5 villages to be able to combat the danger brought about by Akatsuki. And since Konoha has the 9 tails on its roof, Danzou was chosen to lead the alliance and this has startled the others.

Meanwhile, Sai talked to Sakura about Naruto. He expressed his concern for Naruto saying that Sakura is also a source of pain for Naruto, aside from Sasuke. This is because of the promise of Naruto to Sakura to bring Sasuke back home and Sai said that Naruto plans on carrying this promise for a lifetime, just like a curse. Sai also stressed that Naruto loves Sakura as Sakura does not give full attention to Naruto's feeling for her because her eyes are only set on Sasuke alone.

My favorite part of the chapter is Sai taking action regarding Naruto and talking some sense into Sakura. For me, it's the sweetest thing Sai has ever done for Naruto. Even though he cannot really understand people and has only joined Team 7 just recently, he instantly recognize the need to help Naruto and Sakura in ways that he could do and I find it really touching. Hopefully, Sakura will have more sense of herself and recognize Naruto's effort for her and for Sasuke.

Anyway, I hope someone would disagree of Danzou leading the alliance. I don't trust Danzou. For sure, he has some other plan in mind if ever he became the leader of the alliance. It would only cause more bigger problem.

Valkyria Chronicles - Episode 17

♥ I hope that the next time that I: ♥

1. Open my door, it's going to be Faldio standing like that.
2. When I get my hand burned, it's going to be Faldio who will do the first aid.
3. That I received a gift, it's going to be Faldio who will hand it over to me.

Hahaha.

Squad 7 is again being used as a frontliner, this time in the shores of Mulberry.

It's the Feast of All Spirits and everybody is so excited since its a celebration. There would be a traditional gift giving and everybody else is looking forward to give and receive gifts.

Lamar and Isara are so cute in this episode. Lamar gave Isara a gift, I think it was a necklace. Too bad Isara didn't prepare anything.

Isara gave a gift to Rosie. It's a Darcsen charm of protection. It was really effective because it saved Rosie's life in their military operations.

As for Welkin and Alicia's relationship, they are still not doing well. There's friction between the two of them. I think this friction would grow more especially when he saw Faldio giving the ragnite piece to Alicia. As usual, he didn't do a thing and just watched from afar.

The success of the military operations is because of Isara's smoke bombs. She modified it so that it will have longer time in the air and thus, giving more advantage to Squad 7.

Even though the military operation was a success and Mulberry was already captured by the militia, Isara was shot dead by an injured Imperial Army while asking the then injured Rosie is her wound is already okay. Isara died in front of Rosie.

I really hate how Welkin reacts right now. He really doesn't know how to express his emotions and how he feels especially to Alicia. Without my biases, I say that Faldio is a much better guy than him. If I am really Alicia, I would just go ahead and choose Faldio and let Welkin suffer in vain. But I am not Alicia and she likes Welkin so I guess she should just wait until Welkin learns how to show how he feels.

Why does Isara needs to be killed? Noooooooooo. Even though she is just a supporting character, I am fond of her sweetness and how she confides and stayed by Welkin's side. I bet Lamar would go crazy when he learns about this.
