Kobato: Episode 2
Another Kobato episode is out today! Ureshiii~! <33 This Episode Kobato’s contemplating on the bottle Ioryogi had just awarded her and was thankful that she had passed the test given to her.  Meaning there’s a big chance in making her wish come true.  Once again, her innocent dawdling made the little blue fellow spat at her and bid her to start working her ass off collecting wounded hearts.   But the dense girl ended up asking everyone she met on the street resulting into a crestfallen Ioryogi. Exhausted from her fruitless endeavor Kobato ran into a couple of young kids playing and ended up caddying for their game.  But then she bu

Fairy Tail The Anime Kicks Off!
A few minutes ago, one of my favorite manga serial’s anime adaptation went on air for the first time, 7:30 pm, Japan Time. That was so exciting! I never would have thought I could watch an anime in real time again considering my schedule but I’m so glad I made it! This Episode The premiere episode mostly focused on the manga’s first chapter which gave a little backgrounder about the legendary Fairy Tail as a guild and the introduction of the two of the main characters in the story Natsu and Lucy. Well, Happy included but does it count like one? Thought not, but it plays an important role too! ^^; It all started with the nausea

Kobato ~ The Premiere Episode
I thought I wouldn’t have time to write about Kobato’s first episode which finally came in today after a long wait!  It took me three hours trying to wrap up my classes as fast as I could and so here are my thoughts. *** A little overview: The anime started with Kobato’s arrival on what appeared to be a park’s playground where Ioryogi, her mystical buddy stuffed in a blue canine toy, gave her a  pep talk pertaining the mission they are about to carry out.  Innocently airhead Kobato seemed to anger her usually cranky partner and always ends  up receiving the wrath and a blow of fire from the fellow. As the day went on, she met differ

Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle ~ The Epilogue
A few seconds after the ultimate CLAMP-holic Chibiyuuto posted his broadcast on Twitter, I was given the chance to take a look at the the latest raw scans of the TRC Epilogue.  Thank you!  They’re still in Japanese and I don’t really have that much time to dissect on it.  So I just looked at the pictures and somehow I understood what’s going on.  Also  some familiar Japanese characters I learned a while back proved to be a little helpful. I didn’t get to write my insights on the final chapter (232) since I honestly was disappointed of how CLAMP  sort of cut the chase short.  Following th

Happy Cheosuk!
I almost forgot last night how my student told me that he’s taking time off to give way for the Chuseok Celebration and that officially starts today! This annual observance is equivalent to the Moon Festival of the Chinese, Kinro Kansha no Hi of the Japanese and simply Thanksgiving for Americans.  I just thought it would be interesting to witness and get yourself involved in suc
