my humble opinion on the 2nd movie 'Gegege no Kitaro'


it was rather serious and... grandiose? like, there were more serious matters and so on...
and the ending was also veeery sad. I`m surprised that the girl wasn`t bereaved of her memory and was left to suffer alone...
and... why did they part, anyway? they could really go on seing each other just sometimes... what`s the problem? o.O
I`m just not satisfied with both endings. I expected them to be just a little more happy...
concerning the song in the end. it was great! until I read the singer was not a woman originally. it`s ok if she decided to be a girl and I think she just has a right to be of the sex she wants and feels comfortable. however, I just can`t listen to the voice and enjoy it and understand it`s cool because it is really a male voice, not because it`s a low female voice. so that fact spoils it all
I was glad to see Moscow philarmonic orchestra participated in creating the main theme ^_____^ yappari, Russian musicians are really professionals acknowledged throughout the world..... *___* aren`t they?
well..... the impression left is so strange. I`m really happy to have watched these two movies but I`m not happy with the way the plot was unraveling.
what I really understood is the fact that I want more doramas ^.^ though I was going to watch either anime or British series, now I`m in favour of Japanese series... or movies... like, I don`t care (and I don`t understand why, out of the blue this wish fell on my mind making me so stubborn in my choice)
I want the OST so badly. why isn`t it uploaded anywhere? to say nothing of the movie "Captain Tokio" which isn`t available either. buuuut the melodies in the background were sooooo nice..... T_T

unexpected changes in the schedule ~ my humble opinion on 'Gegege no Kitaro'

I was really going to write about the groups I`ve listened to for the last weeks, or the manga I`m reading, but I suddenly encountered with "Gegege no Kitaro" movies.
without realizing it, I downloaded them and I`ve just finished watching the 1st one.
*oh please don`t forget I`m always writing with spoilers*
it was like... "kakkoyosugiru" ^.^ this is a word I saw as a tag on pixiv, which proves to be useful in situations like this. just everything was sooo funny and interesting, like a good example of adventure film. I know it`s more suitable for children, but a child I am ^____^
the only thing spoiling my mood right now is the ending... I hate this sad ending!!!!! I`m totally against producers and directors following the original concept and making Kitaro a real youkai. oh.... but! to look thoroughly, they followed only a half of the basic idea. was Kitaro really that handsome young man??? I bet he wasn`t. correct me if I`m wrong! I can`t imagine him involved with a human girl in the manga or tv-series... was he really that kind of guy? well if he wasn`t, they made him this way. that`s why they should have invented a way to let Kitaro stay with Mika....... somehow, this is too cruel for me. I`m in real despair! T_____T
I`ll certainly watch the 2nd movie but I`m not expecting anything interesting there, `cause of the new girl and the new problem. thus it becomes a harem. I`m against harems! p(^^)q

my tempos are really high! ~ my humble opinion on some more mangas

I`ve read lots of manga for the last several days!
let me start with
"Another Summer Knights" by Ooya Kazumi
it could be cute if not that much of sex-appeal in the 1-2 and 4th chapters, and the plot was really weird everywhere. the 3rd and the 4th were o`k but the 1st two....... what`s the ending, if somebody can tell me??? it really looks strange. so it left a mixed expression
"Another Kingdom" by Maki Fujita
the first chapter seemed weird to me. and the pics were not improving the situation. I was disappointed. then I payed attention to the characters and I grew to love them. so, it was interesting enough to pay no attention to the quality of the pics. the end was messy, though. too serious and intense issues compressed into the last chapters.
and also, the pics in the end were awful. I know there happened a real chaos but it doesn't mean that there should be like pages of that mess when one cannot even distinguish what`s happening and if there is a hand or a leg or a flower... mangaka-san, if you draw something, you should draw something, not the complete mess. don`t waste the paper and my nerves!
"Santa Clause Panic" by Shiiba Nana
I`ve forgotten to write about this one. an ugly one, really... is it really art or what???
"Seito Shidoushitsu no Oujisama" by Nakamura Yukichi
this one was also unfortunately oversided by me. it`s a pity ^_^
it was nice, though not awesome.
"Sokubaku Master" by Izumi Asuka
I can`t understand why I`ve forgotten about this one! though there were no kissing or anything, the plot was sooooo sweeeeet.... ^____^

I`m surprised how I passed by this ones ~ my humble opinion on manga again

"Suna no Ue no Rakuen" by Ichiko Ima

this one was read loooong ago. it wasn`t too nice, really... I liked neither the pics nor the plot... though the idea about aliens in the end was great
"Taiyou mo wasuresasete" by Ichinose Kaoru
it was good! the pics are nice and the plot was not too usual. I`m interested in this author ^.^
"Genius House" by Ogura Akane
I though shoujo is about some true love and the stuff... not about a harem of cool guys ending in vain.
this was just one more passing by piece

a fly in the ointment ~ my humble opinion on manga

"Taishou Mugen Kitan" by Higuri Yuu
I can`t remember downloading this! why...... why am I reading Higuri again? T____T
I promised myself - NO HIGURI! and again... I didn`t recognize her graphics at an instant so now I`m reading this. well 10 years passed from Seimaden so the pics changed a bit. happy to have read the comments where the last chapter is blamed to be "yaoi shit" - this prevents me from disappointment
however the 1st two chapters are not very useful either. they ended in nothing particular leaving an impression of "huh? and that`s all?"
the 3rd chapter was boring. I didn`t read more than the first several pages
and the 4th was reeeally disgusting. I didn`t expect this to be so awful even after reading the comments.
a story of a young boy with a trauma in the past and a big guy who rescued him from idk what. the boy can`t imagine a better way of thanking the guy than to do it with his body. and then (!) he`s sent to suck another guy`s dick to gather information. and we do see it happening, not only mentioned... and then he`s caught by that guy who turns out to have sadistic propensities. and then he`s saved by the first guy who has fallen in love (this is considered to be love, as I understood)
is it somehow considered to be like... modern shoujo? or what?
I really didn`t think this is so sordid.

I got boring and then surprised ~ my humble opinion on 'Muumindani no suisei'

before you watch something you better check the seiyuu. `cause some of them may surprise you!
after I understood it`s time to watch something short and not too serious I found "Muumindani no Suisei" on my computer. though I already knew the seiyuu did their job splendidly I was really surprised to see who they really are!
so we have Takayama Minami as Mumi. it`s a great boyish voice but I remember her voice in TWO-MIX so clearly that it`s creating a disturbance in my mind because of how much they don`t corellate.
also we have Mu`s voice reminding me of Sanada Asami and Hayashibara Megumi at the same time so much ^.^
the others were also great and sooo suitable for their roles
and then I hear Snufkin.
and it`s like O_________O
and then *_____*
and then "stop. it`s Snufkin. I can`t fall for Snufkin..."
and then "but I`ve already fallen for his voice!"
and then the conclusion "I want to see something with Koyasu!!!!!!"
so please let me find something non-shounen-ai with him ^^`

well the plot.....
it was funny! I love Mu. she`s so cute and sarcastic ^.^ she was really saving the movie from boredom. like in the case with an octopus (turning the mirror - and now? and again? and now? and again?)
and the cat....... you know Sniff`s seiyuu was like 40 years old... and that man pronouncing "nyako, nyako" was just...... I don`t know how to describe! ^.^

WOW ~ my humble opinion on some manga

it was unexpected...
I have read "Hanatsuki Hime" by Hibiki Wataru
and I`m soooo happy!
just nothing else to say...
to look at the plot, it seems so similar to "Seimaden" but it`s different. and my preferences and the impression is just so different.
first, I can clearly see why Lys loves Siva so much. and I can see why he fell in love with her. it wasn`t that "I don`t know what the feeling blossoming in my heart is... and I don`t know why I`m attracted to you so much..." which was the only argument for Hilda to choose Laules. Lys is different, though her type is rather the same. so is Siva. he`s not that obsessed demon, he`s a lonely guy who fortunately doesn`t kill everyone around him. it`s not distinctly shown however if he really kills those demons who tried to attack Lys... I`ll believe he doesn`t. and if he does that would mean they were mad and there was no personality in them already. I might be wrong but I`ll think that way.
and the love triangle wasn`t so annoying. the prince was much alike Rod and he was merely attracted to the bright and cheerful girl. the difference is, in "Seimaden" I was fond of Rod but here I`m not fond of the prince very much. Rod deserved my respect a lot, but the prince seemed a little boring to me. he wished to have the girl for himself and nothing else. so he`s not really a hero... though I`m not hating him either. he`s just a prince.
"Rokutousei Supika" by Onodera Akira
that was great! though there was no romance at all. but I just loved the girl! she reminds me of Rosette for example... she`s strong and caring, she strives for her aim and she avenges the boy who dared to underestimate her..... the latter was just the strongest argument ^.^
"Kaede" - a short story in the 5th chapter was also good. I didn`t like it very much but the idea is really cool. you shouldn`t rely on a miracle if you want something to happen, everything depends on your own decisions! that`s what the author was trying to say... I think...... if I`m right, then I agree with this idea. yeah

I`m startled ~ my humble opinion on manga

I hate when this happens. I`m sure I`ve already written about the
"happy happy letter" by Kikuchi Kamaro
and where is this??? why was it lost?
ohhh I hate dejavus.
but I`ll write again. just a couple of words.
it was cute and sweet and I liked it very much. so after reading 2 mangas on the whole I should say I love this author.
*left to search her other works*

nya-nya-nya ~ another good manga I have read

it was a happy-happy dance you know ^_^
`cause I`ve just read such a nice thing called
"Akuma ga Hareruya" by Kikuchi Kamaro
the 3 and the 4 chapters were not really awesome but the first two just made me sooo happy! I adore this kind of relationship when there are constant tiffs and little rows as a sign of affection. though I feel a little sorry for the girl `cause she`s not as cool as he`s (no matter who HE is, I mean HE as a cool guy trying to act as if HE doesn`t care ^.^)

02 May 2011

good luck does not leave me ~ I keep reading manga

"Akaku Saku Koe" by Midorikawa Yuki
at first I thought like "what the hell is going on with the modern mangakas??? what`s with that style, where`s the beauty, the charm, the elegance?"
and I hated the graphics really hard
and then... I read the 1st chapter... and didn`t care if there`s something wrong with the pics. the plot was so nice! there was nothing odd or unsuitable. there was nothing annoying. there were human relationships and feelings. and there was admirable strength and persistence. so they received their happiness `cause they deserved. I`m happy for them. I wish there were more people on the Earth like the characters of this manga. I wish we all were that sincere and upright. there`s really nothing to be afraid about if there are those who love you and understand you and support you... is there?
so... I`m envoius again... why do mangakas create such a beautiful world? not only them of course...
well I wish I could live in the world they create... and have such people around me... and though they wouldn`t be all my best friends, I could respect them and get along so well...
I wish... and I know my wish won`t come true. still I`m not going to stop to wish

settling down ~ a good manga I've read

it looks like I`ve been lucky twice!
"Adarshan no Hanayome" by Amekawa Kei, Kazato Nori and Momoki Sae
was good. though I was expecting to see some more relationships between Euti and Alec. I think there were just too many political-brotherhood issues, taking into account the amount of chapters which is only 8. I wish there were a little bit more and thus the plot could be less intense and I wouldn`t get the feeling that there`s some haste in there...
however, I`m glad to have read this! really ^_^

yay! ~ a nice manga I have found

"Kanojo ga Kafe ni Kayou Wake" by Washio Mie
 that was just the long-awaited sweeeeeet thing ^____^
there are 3 couples all of them connected by the same cafe
and all of them were sooo nice!
I`m happy to finally have found the thing I wanted to see. nya-nya-nya *a Sumomo-like dance with pompons*

next, please... ~ not a very nice manga

I felt I should eat something interesting after Seimaden, so I picked up "I can't sleep alone" by Arai Kiyoko and the others.
I thought it was going to be more cute... but the first story was awkward. it reminded me of "Coralina" but the ending was bad and sad and I couldn't get the morals of the story... so I was like o_O huh?
the second chapter was rather pretty and moving, though I don`t like stories about ghosts who cannot rest in peace usually
the 3rd chapter was rather stupid for me... I didn't get what sense it makes. though it's ok to speak about friendship and so, but... this way is not the best
chapter 4 was also boring. a story about a spirit who thinks he`s (she`s - in our case) alive might be great but this one is too short and.... boring, let me repeat
chapter 5 was going to be more interesting but didn't prove to be...
chapter 6 was simply about nothing... really...
chapter 7 was intended to be scary but it wasn't. it was silly like the the 1st - might have been a good idea but nothing in the end...
chapter 8 had the same idea but the ending was a little different. and I didn't like it either.
conclusion - waste of time!
