[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

Clannad After 24 END

Tomoya tells Ushio about the time where he first met Nagisa and how they had been together after that. Ushio falls asleep halfway and Tomoya thinks about the story that he did not tell Ushio, about the story of Nagisa leaving him after Ushio was born and Ushio leaving him as well many years later. Tomoya feels that he still believes it in happening although he was suddenly brought back to the time when Ushio was born. Tomoya then wakes Ushio and Fuuko up, telling them that they will catch a cold and Nagisa calls out to them from far.

*the whole episode was a recap of the entire series and it was nice to see them wrapping up everything although i was expecting something special for the final epi similarly to ep 24 of season 1. Clannad has been a promising anime ever since i watched it and the drawings and melodies made the anime a must-watch... the series focus on Nagisa's side of the story with Tomoya which could be that their story was the most mysterious and was rather sad as well. The final light orbs might have made the whole anime a little out of the world but it make the anime more mysterious and with some deep meaning beneath those light orbs. All in all, i enjoyed Clannad through the whole 2 seasons =)*

Tower of Druaga ~The Sword of Uruk~ 12 END

Neeba now has full control over the Tower and begins firing at Ishtar. Under fire, Ishtar fires back at the Tower and both suffer damages. Pieces of the Tower drops down onto the cities below, damaging them as well. Kaaya explains to everyone that the Tower was a weapon to fight against those above them and the king's shadow was there to prevent that from happening. Gremica gives Jil the location of Neeba and they whole gang goes back up to the Tower to stop him. Jil receives a shield and a sword from Kelb and the others. Jil talks to Kaaya about his past with Neeba and that Neeba's core was a strong inferiority complex. Jil then talks about if he had not relied on him too much than Neeba would not have to suffer that much. The whole gang reache the Tower and was greeted by monsters that Fatina, Utu, Melt and Coopa take care of while buying time for Jil and Kaaya to go after Neeba. Jil and Kaaya rushes to Neeba's location as fast as possible and Jil was brought suddenly to another place where he sees Henaro and Ahmey greeting him, telling him that he does not need to fight anymore. Kaaya's voice snaps him out of Succubus's spell and takes on her while Jil continues to find Neeba. Jil finally reaches Neeba and sees Gremica fallen in his hands. Neeba turns to Jil and questions him if he wanted to defeat Druaga since he was always saying that and tells him that he was Druaga now. Jil engages Neeba and was hurt quite badly and parts of his armour drops off. Jil was blasted off the room and Neeba continues to advance with parts of Druaga behind him. After Jil's armour was totally wrecked, he says to Neeba that he finally understand his thoughts that he was scared of him since he was constantly becoming stronger and catching up with him. Jil finally defeats Neeba and leaves him before Neeba gets crushed by the rubble. Jil was unable to escape in time and nearly falls before Kaaya and the others save him. Peace arrives again and everyone was back to their lives. Fatina and Utu continues in their adventure, Melt and Coopa starts to work again and Jil and Kaaya continue climbing the Tower again and sees Ahmey's spear once again.

*Neeba dies... it was quite a dramatic end for him since he was like having so much power and yet get defeated by Jil who just have a single sword... seems that someone had helped him since he suddenly became all faster, it could probably been Ishtar. Those that were dead does not seem to be dead since they appeared again afterwards and i still find the young Gil freaking cool =X the whole series of Druaga ends with the series length of a normal season... i was happy since they decided to show this season earlier than usual cos the previous season's opening song had hinted that this season will show somewhere near may. this series had great fighting scenes and amazing animation as expected from GONZO and i can still hardly forget the 1st epi of season 1 which had made me LOL-ed the most for most animes =) Another great anime from GONZO =) now i'm addicted to their animations =X

White Album 12

Rina questions Touya's relationship with Yayoi and warns him about her. Rina tries to stops him and asks him out for a date but Touya declines as Yayoi was there. Rina goes to Echoes the next day and gets depressed, feeling like she got dumped. Touya tells Yayoi that she can never replace Yuki and can only become someone else. The next day, Rina and Touya were running in the stadium but Rina was unwilling to stop even though it was raining and when she finally stopped, her hands were shaking and she slammed her fist onto the ground. Back at her workplace, Rina allows Touya to come in and tells him about the details af Yuki's letter. About how Yuki wants to give him a surprise and to not see him again. Touya then breaks down and Rina, looking at how Touya has tortured Yuki, fires him straight away. Touya then remembers the past with Yuki and calls her and leaves a voice message since she did not answer. Yuki comes back home and listens to Touya's message and cries, restraining herself from calling him as she wants to show him a different Yuki. Touya tries to get a ticket to Yuki's concert but to no avail, even Mana tells him that he should get it on the first day of the sales. Haruka and Mana goes out for cycling and after learning that Yuki did not send Touya a ticket, she leaves Mana behind. Mana then asks her mother who was having a competition with Rina's brother, a ticket to Yuki's concert which she gives to Touya. Touya returns home and finds that he receives another ticket and Haruka gives him hers as well. Misaki was then stabbed by the person who she humiliated back at the school festival and seeing how Touya's book has saved Misaki, Akira begins laughing at Touya's relation with Misaki. The day of Yuki's concert finally arrives and Touya prepares himself to seeing the real Yuki on stage.

*at least now Touya tells Yayoi clearly that he does not love her at all and it makes me feel a little better on his character. Rina seems to be a person who supports Yuki and Touya and does not seem to be trying to get close to Touya after seeing how she told Touya about Yuki's letter and warning him about Yayoi. Akira seems to be a little wierd now after seeing how close Touya was with Misaki and feels very uneasy when he sees anything related to Touya to be near Misaki. Mana's mother being the rival of Rina' brother shocked me as well so she was not just an ordinary character after all...*
