To the end of school that is. Tomorrow will begin my last official week of high school. I'm not talking for the year but EVER!!:o I'm finally graduating after long tough years of high school. Its funny, my nostalgia is already kicking in, on the day of my middle school graduation, I couldn't stop thinking about all the memories I had, but now, I actually feel like I'm gonna miss high school....even though I hate the place for all its worth.
Moving on, I've recently started watching some new animes, and I can't stop watching them either. Anyway here we go. First off is....
Clannad
The story of Clannad revolves around two people. A "Delinquent" high school student Tomoya Okazaki who has a strained relationship with his fatherand a fifth year student Nagisa Furukawa who got sick on her graduation and had to repeat her senior year(The red head behind the two purple haired girls in the pic). One day while walkinng around Tomoya spots a girl sitting down in the courtyard of the school and decides to join her, claiming that the area where she was sitting to be his favorite lunch spot. This anime is very emotionally driven, with moments that will make you feel like crying. Over the course of the show, Tomoya and Nagisa meet new people who are also main characters to the show: Kyou Fujibayashi, whom Tomoya has known since his second year, Kotomi Ichinose, who first met Tomoya when they were little kids, Tomoyo Sakagami, a third year genius with above average fighting skills and Ibuki(Can't spell out her first name.....afraid GS may take it the wrong way and ban me:P), a mysterious little girl who handed out starfish shaped wood carvings as an invite to her sister's wedding. I won't divulge to much of the plot or the character's histories, but I can all but guarantee you'll love the show.
Gintama
This anime is funny!!:lol: I haven't seen a lot of episodes yet, but the basic plot of the show follows an ex-samurai living in Edo, which has been taken over by an alien race known as the Amanto. He runs a business called Odd Jobs Gin with Shinpachi Shimura, a teenager who joins his business to learn the samurai ways and a young Yato Clan alien girl namedKagura, the second and last person to join Odd Jobs Gin. What makes this anime so funny to me is Gin's unorthodoxmethods. Things you would presume anime characters to do at tense situations, he does the opposite to great comedic effect, which will sometimes lead to trouble, whether with the police or someone else. Being a Shonen Jump inspired anime, the show makes quite a few references to other Jump manga, such as the time when he wishes he could do Getsuga Tensho. Sound famaliar Bleach fans? He is sometimes seen sitting on the couch just reading Jump manga, in fact, one particular episode is dedicated to Gin getting the latest Jump manga. The characters have a tendency to break the fourth wall, incase you don't know what that is, go to wikipedia and type "Breaking the fourth wall". To all Marvel fans, you may see Deadpool there somehow.
Yozakura Quartet
Last but not least Yozakura Quartet. Haven't seen to much of this either, just about 5 episodes, but what I can gather from the plot is that the show takes place in Sakurashin, a town where both humans and demons co-exist peacefully. The town is protected by seven giant pillars that projects a barrier which demons to live in the human world. Sakurashin is protected by the Hiizumi Life Counseling Office that consists of: Akina Hiizumi, the only human who works at the office and is the oldest of the four members. He has the ability to "tune" demons or send them back to the demon world by cutting their link to the human world, Hime Yarizakura, a dragon demon girl(pictured) who became the mayor of Sakurashin when the previous mayor(her grandmother) died. She's a real glutton who loves noodles, espeicially when made by Akina. She patrols the city everynight and always strives to become stronger. Ao Nanami is the youngest of the gang and is the announcer of Sakurashin. She has wolf like ears which she covers up with a hat. She also has the ability to read people's minds by using her "Satellite" ability, she too isa glutton, but doesn't eat as much. Finally there's Kotoha Isone, a girl who used to be human until a demon possessed her at a young age, turning her half human, half demon. She has the ability to conjure up anything at will just by saying the name of the object.
Now for music, only one band and its
The Letter Black
A Christian hard rock band consisting of frontwoman Sarah Anthony, her husband Mark Anthony who is the guitarist and backing vocalist, bassist Matt Beal and drummer Mat Slagle. I just got into them last friday and I can't stop listening to them. Their sound is half melodic, part hard rock and for some reason reminds me of emo rock, but hey, that ain't necessarily a bad thing for me:P
Hope you enjoyed. Later and see you all on the forums!!
