Yeah finally I got to this weekly digest of entertainment commentary straight from a Singaporean who is so in love (but not “madly”) with Anime and J-Pop. Let’s get started.
ANIME
Coppelion: Oh yeah they finally got the train started, after much effort, and they guys left Haruto to die with the 1st Division leader. Haha, how heartless. But of course the guess here should be Haruto being a Coppelion would most likely survive compared to the human without much radiation protection. And Aoi-chan is super awesome this episode! Not mentioning that she managed to stop the “steel spider” chasing after the lot, she also managed to protect everyone from the Ozu sisters using her… teleportation and force fields kind of power. Good job Aoi-chan! (most likely what NoSense would say) For next episode… Ibuki’s going into labour??
Samurai Flamenco: Controversy, as they say, makes the best drama. (Remember all quotes come from me hehe. That’s why I fail in General Paper) As so with this Anime, as I see plenty of Anime adaptation of ideas, like rockets and monster reviving out from goo, or even something more familiar is Flamenco pulling out a ball from the chest of King Torture. Remember the Hogyoku from BLEACH? That’s what I mean. But then the many cliffhangers and turning of the usual paths makes this show worth watching, really. The blogger at RC don’t seem to agree with me though. Next episode should be the last, as we see how they wrap up this show which is about to become a stinker. Haha. That just now was NOT my opinion.
Nagi no Asukara: (wow I wrote this much already?) Still underwater, the kids are still determined to do the Ceremony, even though the Lord does now it does not do anything and the people in the surface are helping because they think it does, at least ease the Sea God. Contradicting, isn’t it? Interesting how this Anime original plays out, and the fact that the kids are confessing to each other just makes me irritated. Chisaki got a shock on the start of the episode, and Hikari apparently is going to get one too next episode. How would the world even end? Don’t ask me; I didn’t write the story…
Golden Time: I’m half asleep as I watch this show already. But if I recommend you NOT to watch while I still do, doesn’t that show that I’m very persistent? (Audience: As they say, “there’s no turning back”…) Yep. I suppose so. But then things are NOT turning into a beach trip as Banri needs money to treat Kouko to a night in a beach hotel or something like that, but then into a fancy dress party where the cast (besides Kouko) is there to serve drinks. Cue Linda in devil costume! And if I say she’s cuter than Kayanon I’ll really be 2D-kun, if you get what I’m saying…
MUSIC
This week I’ve been waiting for Kawano Marina-chan’s FIRST album. Like, people after her have been releasing beyond their first album already. Seriously? Haiz. Nevertheless, picked up a few songs for good measure, so that pretty much wraps up her music career. (Audience: Huh? Really?) No lah, but at the rate she’s going (especially without a style) I’m even doubtful if I want to listen to her next time. (Audience: Then they will couple it to the Anime you want to watch and you’ll get stuck in it, right?) I guess so… Wait. How do you guys know? (Audience: LOL)
UPCOMING (AT LEAST UNTIL END OF THE YEAR)
Thought I would inform you guys about this too.
RELEASES: Left Hanazawa Kana-chan’s 5th single and ChouCho’s 2nd album (duno if I would listen to that yet) on Christmas (Audience: In which you have to go back to do-) Don’t mention that can? Also got hold of ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE’s (aka “altmed”, not “ackmed”) (Jeff Dunham: LOL) debut album, and would determine if I want to place it for this year or next. Maybe just one song:
“Just close your eyes, make a wish;
I will be the brightest star to shine tonight~”
-From “Making Wishes” by ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
(Yesh just by hearing. Their English is not bad, you know…)
LIVES: Awaiting Kalafina’s “consolation” album live, still downloading along with the album above. Hope to give review next week.
MOVIES: Planning to clear two movies when next year starts. Don’t know if you guys know of them, “Kotonoha no Niwa” featuring Kana-chan AND “Hal” featuring Yocchan. Yesh I only focus on the female leads, can? The latter is releasing its discs around Christmas too, and also a date has been announced for the latest Kara no Kyoukai movie: my birthday next year. Looking forward to it already…
Well I guess that’s all. More to be revealed next week. Well if you don’t do some research (or even bother to click on the links I placed) all the above here would be considered a “reveal” to you guys.
Next up: The Klassic Note Spirit, especially what happened last year…
[P.S.: Can I post one picture? Really this one is seriously cute! Can? (Audience: Okay you can-) YESH! (Audience: Fast!)
