Suzumiya Haruhi

Gavin sent me these txt files containing the stories of Suzumiya Haruhi, which is actually an anime.

I quote animenfo.com:
Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu (The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi) is a story about a high-school freshman, Suzumiya Haruhi, and those who are caught up in her antics. On the first day of school, she introduced herself in a bizarre way.

“From East Middle School, Suzumiya Haruhi. I have no interest in ordinary humans. If there are any aliens, time travelers, sliders, or espers here.. come join me. That is all!”

Her classmates wondered whether she was serious or just kidding around. Kyon, a fellow freshman who sits in front of Haruhi, was interested in her because of her strange introduction. Little by little, he tried to talk to her, but Haruhi's answers would always be "Shut up!" "Moron!" "Be quiet!" "Who cares about that!?". However, as the days went by, Kyon becomes the first ever to talk normally with Haruhi and eventually inspired her to form the SOS Brigade which sole purpose is to find aliens, time travelers and espers, and have fun with them.

Yes, this started off as a storybook instead of a manga, and i just realized that i saw an anime quite like this in Taiwan's Maid Cafe! This is the anime i want!

Its going to be pretty cool, seeing a story come alive into anime form.. can't wait to find someone who has it.

All about Animes

You've probably heard me rant about animes over and over again, but what exactly are they?

A short paragraph, taken from wikipedia, would show that animes are:
Anime (アニメ?) (IPA pronunciation: [ɑnime] in Japanese, but typically [ˈænɪˌme(ɪ)] or [ˈænəˌme(ɪ)] in English) is an abbreviation of the word "animation". Outside Japan, the term most popularly refers to animation originating in Japan. Within Japan, the term anime is used to refer to all forms of animation from around the world.

Yeap, cartoons. And one piece in general, in according to www.animenfo.com

It was a time when pirates ruled the seas. Several bands of pirates were battling over the great hidden treasure, One Piece, which was left by the now legendary pirate captain, G. Roger. There was a young boy who admired the pirates. His name was Luffy. One day, he mistakenly eats the devil's fruit and turns himself into a rubber human being.

Ten years have passed since that incident. Luffy sets out to sail all alone. He sets out to become a great pirate captain and that's when his great adventure begins. I'm going to be the Pirate King! I'm going to get "One Piece!".

Doesn't look like much, but like Bleach and Naruto, what i like about them, is that they inspire me to do certain things. A common theme would be not to give up in the face of danger, the notions of chivalry and honour, and not to mention sometimes sadness and tears.

I get so touched watching some of the episodes, and other episodes so inspire me...

That's why i'm hooked on animes, as compared to movies(which end within a few hours), other real life serials(what i really love is "friends", but its hard to catch up when you've only watched half of season one), or those channel U or 8 shows when you have to tune in to every 7 or 9pm.. (i could never sit down at the appointed time).

Its like Ghost whisperer, channel 5 @ 10pm. I know its a good show and i really want to watch it. But more likely than not i usually have an appointment on that day, or i just forget.

Yeap, and for now i'm hooked on One piece~ Luffy you rock~

Maybe you're my love~

A song from an anime i like, Ouran Host school high club~

Kiss kiss fall in love~

I notice that I'm always around you
But is it hating? Liking?
Or just paranoia?

When i can see my feelings clearly,
lady or host, it doesn't matter.

The reason for which people fall in love
is different for evreyone, but

Chorus:
maybe you're my love
i want to meet you now
and give you, a sweet person, a cherry blossom kiss

If your heart moves from it,
lets have a romantic love

More important than the future, is the present
The delightful spring love is a blossoming virgin's aesthetic

Maybe you're my love~
