I was in the mood for some Halloween anime/manga treat a few days ago (back when it still WAS Halloween), but somehow, I ended up rewatching the Halloween episode of two of my timeless favorites instead — Daa! Daa! Daa! (aka UFO Baby) and Aka-chan to Boku (Baby and Me) — both of which also happens to involve one or more babies. I haven’t talked about these two series in the blog, or rather, they aren’t really talked about in the ’sphere, period. I’m not even betting my hopes on it happening any time soon, because y’know, the new season is all the shizz, and who would even go out of their way to discover them antiquated animus, right? So I thought, why not trick and treat myself into writing about them?

The fangirls, fanboys, and otherwise, have said it. Kimi ni Todoke is the show of the season. Some curmudgeons remain curmudgeons, but oh well, such is life. What I’m about to show here are a portion of what bloggers have to say about Kimi ni Todoke (mostly first impressions), all for the sake of having a warm and fuzzy circle-jerk~

As much as I hate to admit it, my reaction to watching Kimi ni Todoke is nothing out of the ordinary. I bet you guys have seen it coming, “Oh she’s a shoujo fangirl, and she likes Kimi ni Todoke. So? Isn’t that what fangirls do?” But much like the series itself, which (I’m sure people could ‘objectively’ agree with this, take away those rose-colored glasses first) isn’t anything groundbreaking, I thought, well, I’m not exactly here to exceed whatever expectations or do anything groundbreaking [in blogging/fangirling over this], right?
Something need not be groundbreaking for you to appreciate it, enjoy it, and love it. And no don’t give me that “I already know what’s going to happen from the start till the end of this series” bullsh*t because you obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. Search deeper, and you will find the answer. Who would be so willing to dive in and actually get on with this quest: that is the question.

I doubt I can churn out any coherent posts for Kimi ni Todoke until I get this out so before anything else, let me just say…

So I watched Miracle Train and something about it has been bugging me ever since.

At the time of this writing, it’s September 9, 2009 (since I know for sure I won’t be able to finish this in time, with my flu and all), the day of my flight back home after my 5-month business trip in Cebu, and coincidentally, the last two anime episodes I watched is that of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 9 and Hatsukoi Limited 9, both of which are pretty relevant to my situation at the moment too.
That said, please don’t ever make the mistake of reading this post until you’ve seen Tokyo Magnitude episode 9, because the episode might lose its impact if you already knew what’s going to happen. Click here to skip to my ‘unfinished business’ rambling (past the Tokyo Magnitude spoiler) or here to skip to the Hatsukoi Limited 9 rambling.

Enough super serious posts and let’s turn this back to an anime blog again!
I wonder if you’ve heard of this urban legend…
There’s said to be a subway in Tokyo Underground that knows no bound.
And in this subway is a train filled with no one else but BEAUTIFUL SPARKLY SMEXY MEN.
It goes by the name of [...]

Ok, enough Tokyo Magnitude lulz. You guys probably want to strangle me now for poking fun at the show.
Seriously though, I don’t want Yuuki to die, like hell who’d want such an adorable little kid to die?! He’s got a bright future ahead of him, and I can’t wait to see what a fine young adult he’ll become, the same way Wakaba thought of Kou in Cross Game.
