So, not only was there a prequel OVA, there's also an OVA by Production I.G. that adapts most of Season 1. :O A 30 minute OVA that adapts 78 chapters. :'D Well, to sum it up, it was very pretty and fast paced. Lots of stuff cut out, lots of characters all at once, but since everything's done in hindsight, M-21 and M-24 are sympathetic characters from the start and not 2 dimensional villains. XD

I hope this means that doors will be open to adapting more manhwa and webtoons to anime. :D Still, very strange to hear Noblesse in Japanese. Hearing Shinwoo get called by -chan and -kun is very weird. And Frankenstein with his "Yes, Master" in his Japanese accent made me think of Fate/Stay Night.


M-21. :DDDDD So pretty~~~

many screencaps )
Too long a post, so here's part 2. XD;; Part 1 was over here.

lots of screencaps )

More screencaps here and here. (they've been resized)
Oh the crack. Is this tennis anymore? The way animators are able to come up with battles revolving around tennis... that's some skill. Halfway through, I felt this was almost RPG'ish.

lots of screencaps )

Anyway, this post is too large, so there'll be a part two. XD;;

Part 2 is over here.
When feeling down, a dose of Tenipuri crack works wonders for me. XD; (Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] hotarukunn for sharing these!)

PairPuri 3 (Akutsu x Kirihara). Akaya is really... cute here, and Akutsu is so manly, haha. He even plays savior. Akutsu~

PairPuri 5 (Sengoku x Saeki). So I was wondering what commonality tied Sengoku and Saeki together. Turned out it was their popularity with girls, hahaha. XD The Shiraishi and Yukimura part in the picture drama made me go "What the??" (because wasn't this supposed to be about Sengoku and Saeki?) but I was also grinning widely and laughing.

a few screencaps )
Ookiku Furikabutte season 2 ended. The last episode made me smile, but episode 12 was the one that blew me away. Episode 12 was truly masterfully done. I need to watch it again sometime. The angles of the pitches were beautiful, and I was sniffling from all the emotion and tension.

Season 2 was so short! But as I watched, I took screencaps of practically all the times Hamada appeared on screen. Which wasn't a lot, but have a mini pic spam of him below! I love my sempai-tachi in anime~

Hama-chan pic spam! )

Rudolph rangers!

What a game full of crack. XD I enjoyed this way too much...and I was just watching videos of it. I don't even have the game. >__> Still waiting for the DS release of Gakuensai no Oujisama!

This game, for those who don't know about it, is a Prince of Tennis game with several original female characters that interact with the Tenipuri boys...and have dreams about them. The dreams are very bizarre. In one dream, the female protagonist is a reporter trying to get a scoop on the Seigaku band. She mishears the conversation and well, has very embarrassing misunderstandings. Konami takes this opportunity to throw Tenipuri characters into the weirdest situations, bringing in boybands, vampires, pirates...

some screenshots~, spoilish for some routes )

edit: 250 screenshots for download if anyone wants them! :3
I am on such a Tenipuri phase right now.

...actually, this phase started back in March. Now, it's just even stronger than usual because of the new OVAs. XD;

Another story 3 is what I wish Shin Tenipuri focused on!!! New captains, fears about the future, what happens now that the third years are leaving? etc. I would rather have seen more of this than a bunch of rivals grouped together for one panel cameos. Still, I think of Shin Tenipuri as an extra...treat. No idea where it's heading at the moment. My favorite parts are still the parts where the senpai are instructing their kouhai, leaving the team to them. It's just not very prominent.

a few ova 3 pics )

Kirihara's English test scores, haha.

Watching episode 4 about young Rikkai has convinced me that it would have been awesome if Rikkai were the main school. XD; I really enjoyed this glimpse into their past! Of course, that would have been an entirely different series then. XDD

some pics! )


I absolutely adored this ova and could not stop smiling. People who like Rikkai should definitely watch this. =P

The deadline for [livejournal.com profile] 30_kisses has rolled around once again. I'll be writing furiously tomorrow!! Such a difficult story to write...
Why are they so cute. T____T;; There's no way they can turn from looking like this to looking like how they do in the series...in 2 years. No way. But still, so cute. The animation is very smooth and pretty. I capped the episode since we definitely need a deck of this over at [livejournal.com profile] twistserve_tcg. XD;

When I went to find the new Higamyu, I found that the Dear Boys musical was being shared too! *___* I never thought I'd get to see it.

The musical adapted the series pretty well. I'm surprised that they really did do all the basketball scenes...because man, they have to dribble the ball, play out a pre-scripted game, and shoot tons of baskets on stage. @___@; That must have taken tons of practice. They did have this box thing that they threw the basketball in for harder shots. XDDD It lights up and everything.

Ahaha, I'm entirely unused to seeing females onstage. Anzaki's actress had a nice voice. Himuro-sensei was pretty good too, though one had to wonder why she was around since there's no girl basketball team in the musical. XD;

Aizawa was quite perky, though he didn't actually get a lot more stage time than the others, so I didn't really get the feel that he's the main character. Well, except for the songs when everyone's singing about how he's bringing a wind of change. XD; Otherwise, Miura actually gets to start a lot of songs, and Fujiwara gets to be mopey all over the place. I don't care much for the rival team, but Shimojo was pretty awesome despite how despising he is in the original.

I didn't recognize that Miura was Tenimyu's 3rd cast Tezuka until I watched the backstage video and he was trying on glasses. XDDD Is he a lefty? Since, he's always cast as a lefty character. He also mentioned on the website that other than Miura, he'd have liked to play Meiwadai's Yuuki Nozomi, who is also a lefty. Haha, Meiwadai is never going to be part of the musical though. That school hasn't even shown up much in the actual series.

I love Ishii's actor in that he says that he'd have liked to try out Shounan's Ayumi Fuse. Fuse~ ♥. Aizawa's actor says he'd have liked to try out Miura's part because the character is different from his normal personality. He really seems to be the cheerful type.

tons of screencaps )

There's going to be a Dear Boys vs. East Honmoku musical in July. I guess they're going to keep going. XD; East Honmoku is much funner than Narita Chuou.
edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention. [livejournal.com profile] kitsune_jade, I GOT YOUR PACKAGE!! Thank you so much. ♥ Where'd you find such a cool looking fishbone?? *_* It looks like it might be made out of a shell or something similar...actually reminds of white go stones. The little pouch and the cloth look very Christmas-y with the red and green. :D

This reminds me. I should start sending out international cards soon or else they won't get there on time. ^^

Hahaha, I think my favorite song in this second Rikkai myu was "4年と2ヶ月と15日". *_* They can make a song out of everything, can't they? Anyway, I think I started grinning when Inui started singing that.

some screencaps )
Huh, it's been almost a month since I last watched an episode of anime. The FMA movie doesn't count. >_> I still need to catch up on eyeshield21 and a whole bunch of other anime!!

Ya-ha! ES21 screencaps! Not up to date though, since I'm behind on watching it again~

From episode 30 and onwards. Most recent is episode 49. Haven't watched the latest few episodes yet.

ES21 screencaps )
This entry = Eyeshield 21 episode screencaps and summaries (sort of), plus my random thoughts.

I've caught up with Saizen's releases of Eyeshield 21 (finally!) and while I watched, I decided to take screencaps just because I can. XD;;

I thought I wouldn't like Eyeshield 21. It's about American football after all...which I don't like very much. I don't like watching it and I never have, and during highschool, I always hated that it was the most anticipated sport. Why didn't people pay more attention to tennis and come support the tennis team?? (But that last part is just me being biased because I was on the tennis team =P)

But the first episode already changed my mind. <3



eh...because my webpages have stopped loading properly, I'll end this post here.  I'll continue with the rest later.  I'm currently downloading the raws for the next few episodes. <3  I wonder how much of it I can understand.  And [profile] ranier, how's the anime doing so far w/ following the manga? I still haven't read the manga~. Tempted to. But I like listening to the bgm and the voices~

edit: I don't know how to edit my lj-cut. T_T  It's supposed to say 30-34, and there's supposed to be only one cut.  This rich text thing is confusing me.
