I haven’t watch the Weiss Kreutz clips though, but I’ve heard of some of their songs. Shadows Light and Tomorrow are quite nice.

Hehe..you too, who doesn’t love young, handsome, courageous, kind and stylish men?! *nosebloods* My list of favorite bishes keeps growing and growing, I bet yours is the same.

You’re welcome. I agree that it might be overwhelming since my actual historical figures are protrayed in Koutestu, but I think it’s still a good watch with limited knowledge.

Hehe…I believe most of the heroines in Otome related games/anime can be classified as damsel in distress and the bishes are always looking out for her. There’s nothing wrong with this, however, I would like one that can stand up for herself like Ko Shurei from Saiunkoku Monogatari. She is intelligent and willing to give you a piece of her mind when needed. BTW this is an extremely good anime and recommended if you haven’t given it a try.

Yorihisa’s ending is a favorite of mine too. I love his silence and protective nature toward Miko-dono. It shows how important Akane is to him…he is content with just being by her side and as along as, she is happy, he is. Ah, he is so wonderful, don’t we all wish we had a Yorihisa in real life?

You can watch Naruto Shippudden with subs and original voices via Hulu.com (free service). I’m not sure if it’s available after your region, but do give it a try.

Same here, this is why Miki-sama is my ichiban, his voice is way too smexy to be compared to anyone else.

Hehe..don’t we all have a way too many favorite mangas/anime/novels? I read all genres as well and quite hard to just pick one too, but mine mostly lay with shonen. So here are my lists:

Shonen: One Piece, Saraiya Goyou, Code Geass, Gundam 00, Blood+, Darker than Black, Macross Frontier, Naruto Shippuuden, Clannad After Story, Durarara, Ga-Rei, Nijuu Mensou no Musume, Death Note, Hunter x Hunter, Sengoku Basara, Spice and Wolf, Rurouni Kenshin, Saraiya Goyou, Hanasaku Iroha, Slam Dunk, Escaflowne, Summer Wars, and Tiger & Bunny.

Yaoi/shounen ai: Haru wo Daiteita, Doushitemo Furetakunai, Seven Days, Viewfinder, Yami no Matsuei, Mirage of Blaze, No. 6, Togainu no Chi, Loveless, Ai no Kusabi, Koi Suru Boukun and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi.

Shoujo/Josei: Nodame Cantabile, Nana, Saiunkoku Monogatari, Gokusen, Kimi wa Pet, Honey & Clover, Itazura na Kiss, Can’t Lose You, Hapi Mari, Kimi ni Todoke, Skip Beat!, Kiniro no Corda, Hakuouki, Harukanaru Toki no Naka de, Hana yori Dango, Ouran HS Club, Usagi Drop, Higashi no Eden, Itadakimasu and Hana ni Arashi.

Phew, that was a mouthful LOL Anyway, I still need to read Uragiri, have hear of good things about it. Koori no mamono no monogatari and Code Breaker are nice to me, they appear to be interesting and will give them a try. I’m presently reading Amatsuki, Otodama, One Piece, Koi Suru Boukun and Saraiya Goyou.

I always admire those who formally study a language especially Japanese, only have the basic here too. Ganbatte, kan-chan!

Mata ne!

My pleasure, Gyafuku and Arrival are certainly wonderful songs, both of my ultimate favorites. Miki-sama had performed Gyafuku live at a Haruka event a few years ago and it was certainly something not to be missed. It was such an astonishing performance, I had watched it 23222454354 times and still couldn’t get enough of it. Truly a rare and beautiful treat! Besides these two, my latest obsession is with Owaranai Yume no Naka de and I.D.E.A. ~Boku wa mainichi, yume o miru~. Both are upbeat and catchy, they seem to provide me energy when doing housework on the weekends. LOL Believe in heaven is another great one. Miki-sama really needs to release his own album, there are just too many fabulous songs out there that we need to find…I probably be the first to pre-order it.

I haven’t got a chance to watch Koutetsu Sangokushi yet, but am intrigued since the cast is quite expectational and historical aspect (my never-ending for it LOL). It appears to be a very loose adaption of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms which is quite a lengthy piece of work. But if you’re interested in the timeline used for the story, there is a nice mini summary at China-Mike.

Hehe, don’t we all love Toshi and Yorihrisa!! Though, they are quite serious when performing their duties, they have a gentle and caring side which can be cute at times. I think I’ve developed a serious fetish for men with swords/guns, who can resist them?! xD

If you get a chance, please do what Naruto in Japanese, Inoue-san’s Kakashi is just too heavenly. Lately, I have been become quite fond of the non-canon KakaSaku pairing. Of course, not at their current ages, maybe when Sakura is older and in her twenties. I don’t see a problem at that time since Naruto and Sasuke are just two busy catching one another. Just my two cent.

If you don’t mind, what are your favorite manga? I’ll discuss mine later since I don’t want to bore you out with another essay! LOL

Mata, ne!

Well happy new year and Happy Blogiversary!!

Woot another Miki-sama fan!! I absolutely adored him after watching Bleach many, many moons ago. Though, he did not become my ultimate fave until about a year ago, shame on me LOL. I blame his fabulous roles as Toshi and Lockon for my obsession LOL , but I agree that most of his characters are love. I wrote a little post regarding my beloved not too long ago, it can be found here if you’re interested.

As for Inoue-sensei, do you mean Günter from KKM? His portray was certainly awesome and hilarious. I was lucky enough to have seen a KKM event which he had performed live with the other cast members and loved him even more. Unfortunately, I do not recall much of Fruits Baskets and need to re-watch, I was a younglet then and didn’t care much about seiuyuu at that time. I also like his Tomomasa from Harukanaru, Nyanko-sensei from Natsume Yuujinchou, and Ibaragi Soutetsu from Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto. However, Kakashi remains unraveled as the number one stop on my list.

Same here for Morikawa-san, his role of Iwaki-san didn’t really make an impact on me until after my third watch of Haru wa Daitata. Though, the OVA does no justice to the series, it’s still entertaining with two of brilliant seiyuus. Have you heard of Arrival? It’s a duet between Iwaki-san and Katou and absolutely amazing. You can find it here. His roles as Kurosaki Isshin from Bleach, Fang Li Ren from Hanasakeru Seishounen and Conrad from KKM are equally as wonderful.

Other seiyuus that I liked which did not make it to the top 5 cut include Fukuyama, Jun (Lelouch from Code Geass), Morita Masakazu (Barnaby from Tiger & Bunny), Ono Daisuke (Shizuo from Durarara!!), Kishio Daisuke (Azuma from La Corda), Kiuchi Hidenobu (Hei from Darker than Black) and Namikawa Daisuke (Baka prince from Level E).

Happy holidays and happy new year to you as well!
