I Think I Shall Forever Be, The Corda Fangurl That I’m Fated To Be…

There are times when you have to forget certain ‘blogging standards’ that you’ve come to have throughout this whole gig (which, of course, only exists in your mind, and what the readers have come to believe in — something can always dare [...]

A ‘Good’ Shugo Chara doujin?

As I was looking for some Shugo Chara pics in danbooru a few weeks back, I stumbled upon the cover pic of this Amu x Ikuto H-doujin amidst the pages of of SICK pics *facepalmmm*. I was reminded of Hinano’s RAGE over the sick Shugo Chara doujins she saw months ago, and this got me thinking as to whether this doujin actually falls under the ‘good’ category.

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

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 [...]
