Fangirl post alert!

In the recent conversations me and Seleria had about the Christmas Countdown, the idea of a Christmas wishlist popped into the hamster’s mind. Wishlist with either, trademark stuffs in various series we’d like to have (like Konata’s choco-coronet), or guys or girls we’d love to spend Christmas with. Given that, do expect that there might be some of this wishlist items coming out of the 12 days of Christmas posts, like right now

Being a Corda fan, I immediately thought of Tsuchiura and Tsukimori, in the list of guys I’d want to spend Christmas with. But after much thought, I settled on Tsuchiura, who I’ve been proclaiming as the BF material amongst the Corda guys. Anyone disagrees? =P

Tsunde-Len is cute when he gets all dere-dere, but in a real-life perspective, I don’t think I’ll be able to stand someone as obnoxious as him. Attraction to real-life tsunderes will greatly depend on whether you can trigger the dere factor in them. Otherwise, seeing all tsuntsun is so not cute.

So there, Hino can have Len all to herself~

I would’ve fangirled over the Corda series yet again in this retrospective post, but I think I already did that here :3 Instead, I bring you do this mini analysis on the Tsu-boys (tsu is actually ‘two’ in japanese / engrish) of Corda~

hawtt +___+ Tsukimori and Tsuchiura are chums, for once :3

It’s been quite some time since I went into major fangurl mode, and now is the time to rekindle that flame! :3 This post is almost a week in the making, caused by delays due to slacking off, and reading Elements of Style by Strunk & White, which made me all the more see how bad of a writer I am. It allowed me to reflect on my writing sins, compelled me to revise my post, making it less horrendous, but still far from good. ok, enough of that first. *ahem*

I missed you Corda! Though it’s more like, I’ve been driven by my guilt for postponing this post for about a month now (because I supposedly received my DVD last month) >.> I loved this anime, and I still do, despite how it made my wallet run dry, as I found myself unable to resist buying the game (Encore2, PS2), mangas (both the official manga and the anthologies), DVDs (1st and the last), illustration books, fanbooks, Lala Magazines bought simply for the Corda furokus… what the?! I’ve already bought this much?! O__O *faints*

Allow me to narrate a little of my Kin-iro no Corda story first, before I proceed to the Summer Special episode.

Mio Colore

Aside from the fact that Corda is the first anime I “blogged”—with “quotes” because I used to post the summaries in animesuki forum, before it spawned into my own blog—I believe it is what drove me into joining the blogosphere, with the initial intent of spreading my Corda fangurlism (hence the name “Mio Colore” for my first ever anime blog, inspired from the title of the Kin-iro no Corda Character Illustrations book) but later on evolved into something else. Apparently, it also brought me back to the anime track, since I was getting contented with my regular dose of manga (and otome games) a few years back.

What made the anime even more memorable is how I got dengue fever in the middle of the series (what a way to celebrate the new year~!), which somehow inspired(?) me to spread the Corda <3, and the blog was born several weeks after. It took a few more months before I got into AB, thanks to Seleria <3, so my posts have then been transferred to this site. My last Corda post was way back May… wow, it’s been that long o__O

It’s been some time since I last posted about Corda (or any other stuff aside from animes for that matter)… o_o So, finally~ Made this chapter 39 summary after such a long delay

Hihara’s “love blues” still continues in this chapter, as he realizes the reason behind his odd behavior last time (Chapter 38), and finally finds the answer to his problems, with the help of Yunoki, and especially Hino.

Can’t believe this is the end… ;___;

Read the summary here:

Kin-iro no Corda Chapter 38 (preview)

poor Hihara is all confused…

Opus 24 - A Heart-Filling Harmony
Episode summary:
Hino goes to the rooftop then sees Tsukimori standing there, waiting for her. He gives her an invitation to the charity concert where he and his mother will be performing. Hino remembers the time before the 2nd selection where she told Tsukimori about how he must be nervous because [...]

All the participants of the concours are gathered by Kanazawa-sensei, where they are given printouts with the information they need about the upcoming concours. The theme for the last competition is “Something you’ve let go” (something like that… ^^;; ) And well, based on the past episodes, we could see how Hino, Hihara, Tsuchiura, and [...]

The change in Hino’s performance has been the talk all around the school, and both students from the regular school and the music school share the same opinion that it would be better for her to just quit. The teachers are also saying that the present concours is full of trouble, most of which are [...]

Hino asks Tsukimori to teach her how to fix her violin, which surprises Tsukimori (gladly surprised) because Hino decided to play the violin again. He tells her to meet her the following day at the train station… then Tsukimori proceeds to practice in the room. Inside, he gazes at the window and remembers the first [...]

Hino goes to the school garden to return the violin to Lili. Lili appears hesitantly, saying that he couldn’t face her, after the pain he brought her because of the violin he gave. As Hino was about to return the violin, she remembers Tsukimori’s words and hesitates for a few seconds… and then Kana-yan’s cat [...]
