Track 3 - My Insides

I've been listening to the Fairy Tail OSTs and woke up one morning with this song in my head. It's really nice, nice song for easy listening too.

Fairy Tail Ending Theme - Tsuioku Merry-Go-Round

Today I'm gonna talk about Mitsudomoe!

Simply put, Mitsudomoe is an anime that will make your insides hurt, and you're gonna crave this hurt after the dosage of one episode! Yep, one episode is all it takes to understand what this anime is about and trust me, you're gonna want more. So it's a random comedy centered on three sisters. And why is this anime worth watching over other comedies? Here's why...

It's got inappropriate humor, adorable characters, not-so-adorable characters, pitiful characters, randomness, funny reaction faces, blood, violence, hamster, roaches, cats, non-stop el-oh-el moments, d'awwwwwww moments, and Hitoha. Who the eff is Hitoha? This here is Hitoha, or commonly referred to as Sanjo-San ("youngest").

Hitoha often gives of an evil aura but in actuality, she means no harm is very gentle inside most the time, which often results in hilarious results. She's also the maturest of the three sisters and a free thinker. Her cheeks are also soft like boobs =T. The middle sister, Futuba is  martial art fanatic/strong/competitive in nature and completely oblivious to embarrassment. That gives it infinite potential for funny already. The oldest is a bitch, that's all I'll say. I can't even remember her name hahah. I thoroughly enjoyed it having not seen a comedy like this one in a while. I did put it off for like 7-8 months after finding it too.

In the end, Mitsudomoe gets my Commy Meddy star of approval. A recommended watch for anyone who wants a good laugh.

Track 2 - Lost Feelings

 Amagami SS Opening - "i love"

To pick up from the previous post, I managed to marathon Fairy Tail just in time to wait along with fans from around the world for the release of the last episode. So did it live up to my expectations? For the most part, YES! There was an arc that just felt like a drag but this doesn't ruin the entire series. On the whole, most arcs played out as anticipated for a shounen genre series where the main character for no reason just wins the fight even though he's badly wounded and ran out of mana. However(!), that does not take away from the epicness and engaging action, not to mention emotional and el-oh-el moments.

One of the merits of Fairy Tail is that all the main characters have a strong background - and not just something shallow. After much thought, I decided to give it a 10/10. The "bonus points" it scored from the small things, overall enjoyment, and funny moments completely made up for any shortcomings and predictable results. And the comedy scenes absolutely fits my taste.

In other news, I just completed the Amagami SS series today. I haven't really been a fan of omnibus anime where the anime is broken into multiple arcs depicting different timelines - or parallel universes if you will - of the main character having a happily ever after with different girls.

The premise of the anime is high school romance where boy meets girl followed by a stream of touchy lovey-dovey development. I actually have a soft spot for stuff like this because many of the scenes reminded me of the feelings I've long forgotten about when I was dating - during my high school and college days. Amagami SS resonated very well with me and reminded me of what love feels like. For instance, holding hands for the first time, special kisses, close face-to-face contact, and anticipation of who knows what will happen next. Each arc was different enough to keep the story fresh and romance elements to keep me grinning through and through. The characters made me wish I was back in high school again with the chance to date in that setting. Amagami SS was a good watch, I recommend it for anyone wanting something in the romance genre.

P.S. Ayatsugi Tsukasa - the girl in the foreground is my favorite out of the six =)

Track 1 - Emotional Roller Coaster

Mina-san konnichiwa! I finally decided to start a separate blog to write all my anime related adventures.

A little about this blog: it'll be whatever that comes to mind, excited news, updates on my new watches, maybe some reviewing, and just to keep track of my anime related activities worth sharing. For the most part, everything will be spoiler free unless it contains a huge warning "SPOILER" sign because I know how killer they are. Every post, I will link a track from something I love and can melt my heart in or something from ages past that I am nostalg-ing over. Without further ado:

Fairy Tail Theme - Slow Version on Harp

One of those long running anime I recently picked up was Fairy Tail. Why Fairy Tail among the other ones? Most of the time, my selection is based on a desire for some type of setting and genre and Fairy Tail fit the bill. As soon as I started, I was thinking "no way this can be so good." A few episodes in and I'm dying from laughter. Another few more episodes and I'm full of feels; then repeat as another arc starts and ends. I've been taken on an emotional roller coaster ride I did not expect. Fairy Tail did a really good job so far tugging at my heart strings. I started around Tuesday and watched up to episode 98 of 200(?), it's currently airing still but is due to end on March 30th!

When I started, I immediately noticed the similarities to Dragon Quest games in terms of setting and how the plot plays out. As the emotional stuff kicked in, it made me think of Final Fantasy as well. I guess that is why I like it so much since those 2 are some of my favorite RPG series. I'll go more into how it plays out as a whole when I'm done.

Many people have said Fairy Tail goes downhill from a point on. I'll pass my own judgement when I finish it, sure hope it doesn't though.

That's all for the first post!
