The “climax” of the Amu x Ikuto scene, followed by an anticlimax… =__=”’

So we finally have more Ikuto screentime in this episode. Hurray? Not quite so. I was about to scream in delight in Ikuto’s surprise visit scene, only to end up sighing in sadness, for the moment was cut short. We miss the smutty Ikuto! >___< The animators already took the painstaking(?) effort to have him visit Amu, so how come they didn’t make the most out of the moment?! :| Ok, time to stop being tsuntsun and go back to my rational self.

Thoughts of Mao > Yuumi? hmmm

I think I’ve been bitten by the lazy blog bug, as I found myself spending more time with my PSP than ever before… hence the delay of this post >.> Have to get my blogging drive back in the coming weeks, and finish up more of my supposedly planned posts~!

Now for this episode of KimiKiss, we finally see the series taking the childhood friends turn romantic couple direction, though the final outcome of this remains to be seen. I’ll be happy with whoever they pair-up actually, so long as they give the relationship depth and/or development~ With more than 10 episodes to go, everything is possible. I just hope it won’t be a not-so-mature melodramatic ride like Marmalade Boy.

Ami ish proud of her poser oneechan!

Took me some time to finish this because it’s been busy in the office, with work and some extracurricular Christmas activities :3

Before I go on babbling about this episode of Shugo Chara, allow me to share a few words about my JLPT tale. Fear not for what I’m about to impart is not a JLPT horror story, but rather something Shugo Chara-filled, so it’s not really off topic :p

Let’s just say I felt the presence of Shugo Chara while I was taking the exam, particularly in the first reading / comprehension item, which had “なりたい自己/自分” (naritai jiko/jibun – wannabe or would-be self) written all over it. It didn’t involve any eggs however; it just told of the writer’s realization, about how studying—
through experiencing and witnessing different things, not simply within the four walls of the classroom—is a means for people to broaden their horizons and perspective in life, allowing them to discover their wannabe/would-be selves in the process. So Shugo Chara-like

Since I kept myself from watching this episode the day before the exam, I thought that this must be my Shugo Chara’s way of telling me to go chara-change into my Shugo Chara-loving self once again loooool. It was really funny I kept myself from laughing so hard Owen said I should’ve done the “Watashi no Kokoro, UNLOCK!” chant, and I guess I just did, at the back of my mind =P God knows I would’ve been disqualified from the exam if I followed the footsteps of a certain shameless kimoota.

The results of the exam won’t be out till late February or March, and at this point, I can slack off from studying the hardcore way (using the good ol’ Kanzen reviewer), in light of the natural method of learning I’ve always enjoyed - animu/manga/novel/jpop/games =P My listening really need further brushing up… so much for my lack of anime/dorama exposure since last year.

Yush, on to the show~ :3
