wow... Ookami Kakushi is turning out to be quite a decent anime now =D Nemuru had released Kaname on her own accord and gives her a warning that she should stop dragging herself into the mess by investigating the secrets anymore and also reveals that their are of the Jouga wolf species. Kaori had also left her home, perhaps due to the advancement in her "stage" and is taken to the shrine while wearing the masks of the hunters. The Center is also currently trying to produce a vaccination to prevent the impulses felt by the other species of "human" and Hiroshi is labeled as a Mitsu, which could be someone that has certain interference with the "law" they had in the village. Nemuru manages to prevent Hiroshi from getting caught by the other hunters and was dismissed as a result as she had went against the order. But when she heard that Hiroshi was captured, she goes out to look for him but was ambushed by Sakaki who had planned to lure her out. Nemuru was then captured when she was knocked unconscious by traps laid by Sakaki and locked up in a house. Since Hiroshi had went to Sakaki before and told him that Nemuru had once rescued him, Sakaki promised Hiroshi that he'll show Hiroshi the truth and locked him in the same house where he discovers Nemuru being binded. So Nemuru did had a soft side of her, although her face was always so cold... would be better if she'd smile more =X So Sakaki seems to be the bad guy now after capturing Nemuru and perhaps wanting Hiroshi to see the other side of Nemuru as a hunter to prove that she was a monster as what he had told Hiroshi and Sakaki would most probably not let Nemuru go easily as she was the one who had killed a person that was close to Sakaki as part of the law. Will be waiting for the future episodes.. having high hopes XD

So it seems that Haruue was a child error after all... and the person she was looking for was another child error who was "experimented" under Kiyama in the past and had probably lost her life. At the start, Kuroko was already suspicious about Haruue as she was all acting wierd, talking to someone who wasnt there and not remembering the incident at all, and went to the databank to check on her info where she and Misaka finds out that she was only a Level 2 esper who is capable of telepathy BUT her ability could become more powerful than her current level if she's exposed to certain wavelengths. Misaka had also suspected Kiyama as the Poltergeist incident was related to the RSPK syndrome which was related to the AIM dispersion fields and Kiyama was responsible for AIM incident in the past. Kuroko ruled out that suspicion as Kiyama was already detained. When Uiharu and Haruue were out together, another earthquake occurred just after Haruue started to act all wierd and was brought to the hospital. As Kuroko had suspected her, she was brought to MAR for further investigation by the head, Telestina. At MAR, Telestina tells them that she is definitely not responsible for the poltergeist incident and knows that she's unique when she's exposed to certain wavelengths. When Haruue later wakes up, Misaka sees the photo in the locket, the person who she is searching for, is the child error that was under Kiyama's experiment and she herself was a child error as well. WELL, taken into consideration that Kiyama was "seen" in the previous episode, this arc definitely has something to do with her and the child errors. The person whom Haruue is looking for is most probably gone, unless she was miraculously rescued by Kiyama (unlikely) and she is always saying that she can hear her voice, which is possibly due to Kiyama's influence on the AIM field. The next arc does seem to have something to do with Level 6 but i doubt it'll cover accelerator so thats out of the story... most probably it'll be smth to do with Kiyama / child errors...

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu's 8th episode didnt contain much hilarious antics this time round and was rather serious in a sense. It starts with someone trampling with the Summoning System and disconnected one of the wires which caused the entire system to become unstable. When Yoshii attempts to summon his being, a huge number of his being appears around the school while the others had their beings obtaining an adult form. And somehow, the adult version of Yuuji and Tsuchiya's beings seems to have a relationship with each other and that causes Shouko to flare up. Tsuhiya even went over to Himeji's adult being and sticks his camera into the hologram:

"I wonder if i could get a nude picture from this"
"Good thinking! Voyeur!"
...
"Skeletal ..."

That was pure epic =/ well, so Yoshii was given the mission to use his summoning being, using his own iron bracelet to create his own field, to connect the wire back. The 1st mission wasnt successful as he encounters Yuuji's and Tsuchiya's beings (the student's beings are all out of control and evil after the unstability of the summoning system) along the way and was defeated. He then took many easy tests to boost up his points before continuing the mission and defeats Yuuji, Tsuchiya and Hideyoshi's beings. Just when Yoshii's being was close on completing the mission, he was ambushed by Minami and Himeji's beings and as he is able to feel the pain of the being on himself, Yoshii was nearly defeated but manages to defeat the powered-up Himeji's being when Himeji went to submit a blank test to revamp her points to zero. Yoshii successfully completes the mission but was also sent to extra lessons with Himeji as well. This episode wasnt particularly hilarious but was still serious and was more focused on the beings this time round as well. Himeji's being (after having the power up), really seemed quite cool. I do see some parodies this time round with Tsuchiya's left geass eye when handing a photo of Hideyoshi as a waiter to Yoshii and a evangelion styled setting with the attempt to breach the summoning system (being similar to that in NERV) and the explosion (the Angel's attack / downfall)... next episode seems to another funny episode after seeing the preview :D

Bakemonogatari's 14th episode has arrived after quite a long time, with the continuation of the Tsubasa Cat arc. Apparently, Shinobu is missing and as she was needed to seal away the oddity of Hanekawa, Araragi goes off to search for her, while in the meantime asking for the help of the others as well. Senjougahara didnt help Araragi this time round as she was helping out with the school festival as requested from Hanekawa and since the oddity had appeared from Hanekawa's stress, Araragi let her be and goes of looking for Shinobu. The Cat caught up with Araragi, apparently having gotten away from Oshino, suggests to help Araragi to find Shinobu and Araragi discovers that he had been looking at Shinobu as a little girl ever since and the Cat adds on that a human and an oddity can never be friendly with each other. She then tells Araragi that Shinobu wasnt the only way to seal her away and another way was to remove the stress, in which Araragi was shocked to hear that the stress wasnt Hanekawa's family problems, but was the fact that Hanekawa was in love with Araragi. So the next episode would conclude this series and the arc as well, still love their animation style too =X shall be waiting for it...

Railgun's anime has moved on to the next arc: The Poltergeist arc, which does have smth to do with Kiyama sensei yet again. I really dun tink the series would move on to the sister's arc, which is from the manga, since i believe this series is going to have ard 24/25 episodes. So it'll possibly end by this arc. Anyway, the child who had the locket DOES SEEMS to be one of the child errors that Kiyama sensei had experimented on in the past and had miraculously survived. Since she was whispering where was a person, as though she was searching for someone. It was also explained that the Poltergeist event was caused by the RSPK syndrome which have connections with the AIM dispersion fields that Kiyama sensei had dominated before. Even she was shown at the same location as the child, Haruue-san. Looks quite a promising arc too :)

HnG current Athena arc shld be ending in a couple of chapters and i really do hope for some relationship to bloom between Hayate and A-Tan =P anyways, Midas is now gone and the latest chapter is just the buildup after the fight and A-Tan telling Hayate that she would tell him about what happened after he left the castle 10 years ago. I really am curious about the situation 10 years ago and A-Tan's really cute in the latest chapter XD

Sora no Woto's episode 8 was another light-hearted episode. So the platoon got a mission to test the phone they had. whether if it was still in working condition or not. So when Kanata asked about this very important mission, as Kureha emphasises, Noel replied "watching the phone" ... BUT Kanata still took up the mission and sat there at the table, looking at the phone. After some close-calls with the phone nearing dropping onto the floor, Kanata had to resist from going to the restroom until someone got back as they had all left to settle some things. Noel was still somewhere in the house but was nowhere to be found. Rio then returns to find a flustered Kanata who rushes for the restroom immediately and THEN, the phone call came. Rio picked it up and hears a familiar voice who asks her to protect the country. Kanata, near the restroom, finally finds out that Noel had been asleep inside all along and collapsed on the floor, prior to bumping into her, and was unable to get up. She was then lifted up by Kureha and Filicia, although she was unwilling to, due to having resisted for so long O.o the seriousness from episode 7 scenes are certainly gone in this episode and i wouldnt mind if this series moved into a half slice-of-life and half action series... but they would have to fix their tank 1st =X

this post would be yet another rare non-anime entry:

now lets talk about penspinning XDDD
(i 4got whether i posted it b4 lol)

well, penspinning is really a fun thing to do and a challenge to learn and an ABSOLUTELY great way to kill time when ure bored.

here are just some pros and cons of it:

the GOOD points:
-trains up ur fingers' flexibility
-kill time
-fun
-beautiful combos can be created to make urself go "WOW!"

the BAD points:
-dropping it causes ur parents to rant at you due to loud noise
-repeatedly dropping when trying to learn new trick
-if too engrossed = cant pay attention in class
-spoils ur pen

but do NOT worry =D here are some tips to "remove" the BAD points!
-place a stack of papers on the place ur practicing etc. to cushion the drop
-its just something to kill time, dun let it affect ur studies, do things at the right time! but u still can spin ur pen while paying attention in class!
-modify a unique pen that doesnt contain any ink and spin it to prevent urself from spoiling a usable pen

u people could have already seen someone spin a pen and u urself could most possibly spin a simple trick as well, like thumbaround and charge (google or youtube this if u do not understand... but thumbaround basically means the normal 360 degree turn ard ur thumb and the charge is making the pen spin in a circle continuously between 2 fingers) IMO, learning tricks from youtube is a great option too and many of the tutorial vids has slow motion which will enable u to see how exactly the trick is executed. patience is really needed to practice this "hobby" as ppl tend to give up learning a trick as they keep failing to succeed once. My tip is just keep trying, keep dropping and retrying and u'll eventually be able to succeed once and sooner or later, be able to perform it. i started learning it ard sec1 and slowly went on to learn more and more tricks, mostly via youtube 1st and from my friend who always tend to perfect it easily. i myself have only perfected some of the common tricks and the others are only ard 80% passes and hard to perfect i would say. Linking different tricks together to form a combo is even harder and they need to seem beautiful... i mean thats the main point right?

the pens im using to spin now are modded pens and cant be used for writing at all. its just a special tool made for spinning. modding pens is fun and are much better to spin as well. u could mod a lighter pen which can go fast but lesser stability IMO, i prefer heavy ones as they are much more stable... but most importantly, the pens need to have a center of gravity at the middle to make sure that the pen is balanced at the center, having the cg not at the center would prove difficult to spin.

pens that i recommend to use for modding:
-pilot G2, superb grips
-zebra pens, unique caps

try nt to spin a pilot G2 w/o taking out the ink or modding since ive spoilt quite a number of them after repeatedly dropping them on the floor... (try to prevent to drop ink pens, they LEAK!) my friend currently uses a spin pen entirely made up of paper. i did see a pro penspinner using only a normal pencil to spin his tricks... that is really PRO O.O!

anyway heres my current combo with my current spin pen, 65% to my next generation pen XD

the quality isnt gd =.= took it using my phone and this combo isnt perfected yet, the last move only has like 30% success rate when added into a combo

Saturday, February 20, 2010

managed to catch up with Sora no Woto and episode 7 was really different from the other episodes since they did show a serious portion in it, about Filicia's past and the identity of the woman who Kanata saw blowing the trumpet and Rio who learnt the trumpet from her, was a princess. Closing to the Obon festival, the platoon decides to celebrate it together with the people and Filicia starts to have dreams about her previous platoon who had all left her during the war when their tank was blown up. Filicia was then rescued but her comrades were all gone and that memory caused Filicia to space out in the episode and accidentally cut herself while making the paper lanterns. It was a great episode though, much were disclosed about the war and their tanks really look unique O.o seems to be that that Princess seems to come in contact with everyone, maybe in the past, since Kanata, Filicia and Rio have already met her in the past and possibly Kureha and Noel as well.

Baka to Test 7 was quite a touching episode and more facial expressions were shown on Shouko, her change in expression really makes her beautiful u koe... anyway, the whole episode was about Shouko and Yuuji going to an amusement park to have a mock wedding and all this was planned by Yoshii and the others. Yuuji really didnt take much time to disclose the identity of the attendants where Hideyoshi however, "escaped" the fate by throwing his handphone away when Yuuji called him. Voyeur was also found out after Yuuji flipped up Shouko's skirt and Himeji too, after seeing how frantic she was when Yuuji tells her Yoshii was going on a date right now. Hideyoshi managed to convince Shouko to bring Yuuji to the haunted house after saying that Shouko could hug Yuuji for as long as she wants once inside but Yuuji had almost died in there when his voice was mimicked to say something unfaithful to Shouko. I thought that there was a slight Ookami Kakushi parody there where Shouko's red eyes looked similar to the hunters in Ookami Kakushi. After the sorta failed mock wedding, Yuuji finds Shouko and tells her that she has got the wrong guy but she tells him that she doesnt think so. Quite a touching scene at the back but hilarious at the front, love this series XD

much much more was revealed in Ookami Kakushi latest episode with Hiroshi's face getting listed on some list that could be the people that could bring trouble to the town or that they could still leave the town and had not "converted" into the wolves yet. Hiroshi had also revealed the murderer's identity to the investigator that came to the town and Kaname was also captured and thrown in a locked room. She overhears the person who was locked next door to her and it was the girlfriend of Issei. She asks if similar things had happened between her and her lover and talked about the red moon being ominous and the cleansing. It did seem to me that Kaname was too close in discovering the secret of the town and was thus locked up and Isuzu was said to have been resting in the Center and nothing much of her condition was revealed. this series is now actually moving to quite a nice stage :D

Thursday, February 18, 2010

managed to catch up with Ookami Kakushi 6 and the story is developing towards a more "anticipating" side and scenes with Hiroshi now knowing who the person with the scythe is, ... it was Nemuru O.o they kind a look-a-like at the start so i wasnt surprised by this... the scene at the front of episode 1 was also shown in the latest episode and more things could be revealed about the so called rules in the village and wad was actually happening to the people living there. Maybe also about the Hassaku which i dun tink is normal too.

still have Sora no Woto to catch up though... =X

anyways, A-TAN is kawaii XDDD




KAWAII DESU NE!~~~

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

arghhhh, im missing quite a couple of episodes D:

anyways, HnG 260 could signal to the end of Athena's arc and maybe move on to wad's gonna happen to Nagi now after losing her inheritance, although i doubt that she really did though...

Chuangyi doesnt seem to publish HnG anymore so i went to get the Taiwan version =D A-TAN!~~~~ sadly there split the entire arc into 2 volumes =X wanted to only get vol. 17 with most of the End of the World chapters ... BUT vol. 18's cover has A-TAN =X gosh, shld be getting 18 sometime soon lols =.=




heres an Animax commercial on K-On! which had scenes from the live dubbing session during AFA 09 =D



the spring 2010 anime list is out too (got a tipoff from sgcafe) so heres the list :

Monday, February 15, 2010

railgun is just making me bored for the latest few episodes, maybe due to the lack of action and story development... well, at least Index "appears" in the latest episode but nothing much is developed as of yet...

Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu's 6th episode is really PURE hilarious! epicness at every moment, even the Hideyoshi's unique gender is introduced. Much fanservice for Hideyoshi was in the latest episode but yet as epic as ever:

"This swimming top... could it be?... HIDEYOSHI'S?!"
*looks over*
*faints*
"Hideyoshi! Cover your chest!"
"Naze jaa? Washi wa otouko da!" << +1

P.S. my translation isnt 100% correct ok...

the water devil game is pure hilarious too, Shouko's long hair really looks like she's some devil dragging Yuuji to the depths of the water below...

"Kirishima-san..., you could play water devil with Yuuji, you win by drowning him and then performing CPR on him afterwards..."
*nods"
"WRAGGHHHHH" << +1 Yuuji gets thrown in the water... +1!!!

anyways, here's the shadow art which is clear and smooth that is similar to the stop motion animation:

1 word:

Beautiful!

will be updating once a week from now =X away to study...

Sunday, February 07, 2010

had finished Suzuka's manga yesterday, which was another manga of similar genre as Ichigo 100% and had a few similarity as well. Didnt watch the anime series though, since it ended quite early in the manga chapters and i suspect it to be kinda rushed like Ichigo 100% where not much "feel" would be build up. Suzuka's story begins with the main protagonist (shall use this instead of main character... sounds more cool =D) Yamato who noticed a girl, Suzuka, practising her high jump and thus falls in love with her. He later realises that she lived next door to him and from then on, he tries to build up the relationship with Suzuka. Suzuka does not really show that she was interested in him at first and was kind of annoyed by his character, being clumsy and such and and not seen him as a potential lover as well. Yamato, in order to get closer to Suzuka, joins the track and field club as a sprinter and he was good at it as well and was the ace of the team. Suzuka sees that Yamato was somewhat alike to her deceased senior, Kazuki, who was a sprinter as well and had confessed to Suzuka but got into an accident shortly after. Yamato suspects that Suzuka was being all good with him since he resembled Kazuki and shouted at her once that he was not a replacement for Kazuki and later asks Suzuka not to visit his grave anymore. Suzuka had not been able to forget about Kazuki and on that day, she brought Yamato to the grave as well and said that she likes Yamato as well in front of it. From then on, the two of them started dating but things were bumpy for them and most of the time the both of them were not able to agree to each other's actions or words. Suzuka later went abroad to study and breaks up with Yamato before she leaves. After a year, she returns again and tries to rebuild a friendship with Yamato but breaks down as Yamato confessed to her again and it would've destroyed the friendship she was trying so hard to build up once again. However, things did work out in the end and the both of them restarted their relationship. The both of them, being potential athletes, were given recommendations from two universities and they were promised a place at the same university. Later on, Yamato wanted to further their relationship but things got worse when Suzuka found out that she was pregnant. Due to that and their reluctance to carry out an abortion, the both of them had to give up their places in university. The two of them then start to live together and had a proper wedding ceremony after Yamato managed to save up enough money. The child they had was named as Fuka.

The series mainly focuses on the relationship between Yamato and Suzuka which is thus different from Ichigo 100% where the main protagonist had more than one girl that were potential candidates. For the Suzuka series, there was only another girl that was in love with Yamato at the start, Honoka, who was in a short relationship with Yamato since she realised that Yamato was still unable to forget Suzuka and then had went on to chase her own dream. Many ups and downs were seen in the series as their relationship progresses and was kind of like a drama series (which was why i quitted watching dramas lol) but it have a happier ending as compared to Ichigo 100%. I certainly was touched while reading Ichigo 100% and had almost teared while reading it unlike Suzuka. BUT! Suzuka's series is still not a bad series where u get to see more details and the hardships overcame by the both of them and feel happy for them due to the happy end. There was a short time leap for Suzuka, a one year period, similar to the time leap in Ichigo 100% but different in the time leapt and the appearance of the leap. All in all, it was still a series i had enjoyed reading nonetheless :D do recommend it after Ichigo 100%!

P.S. OK... Suzuka was really more er... forward... than Ichigo 100%, was kinda similar to Clannad, Nagisa's arc. Well, they alrdy did IT before marriage lol, thats like common in mangas or anime... =.= oh well, anyway, an impt note, Suzuka's X portions are WAAAY more than that of Ichigo 100% so do watch urselves :)

had rushed through Bakemonogatari and has "finished" it, theres only 13 epi for now and more will be released in due time, hopefully, via wiki + their website... Bakemonogatari is a very unique show and i could say that its sorta wierd. The genre is unique, the animation used in the series is unique as well. i would say this series to be a really special one. The series focuses on Araragi, a boy who was previously a vampire and the female character, Senjougahara Hitagi, whose arc was in the front few episodes where she had her weight taken away from her, causing her to be close to "weightless". More and more characters meet up with the oddities in the series, like adopting a "monkey fist" on the left hand, having a constrictor constantly binding a body due to a curse and so on. Araragi therefore brings the victims to visit the person who had cured him as a vampire (although he still has a little bit of power left) to help remove the oddities from them. The animation is really unique and i guess that was what kept me on watching this series =)

Ookami Kakushi has finally brought Issei to his doom... not that i hate him to the core, but i was thinking before that his time was almost up. More mysteries are brought up in the episode, with the people of the new town having to abide to a certain "rule" and "law" that is unknown for now, that would have their family members punished AKA killed by the girl with the large scythe. She just look REALLY LIKE Nemuru lor =.= anyway, Isuzu apparently knows what's going on and could, perhaps, start to hate Hiroshi since Issei could not get over him and that could have led to his death. Before Issei was hunted down, he did kissed his kouhai who was later detained and was told that she was now different from what she used to be. This gets me wondering if this meant that a "wolf" who has displayed affection for another would get the other to become a "wolf" as well? the suspense is building up...

HnG lastest chapter almost made me go "WUT?! A-TAN IS GG TO DIE?!" ok. it does seem like it, which i REALLY hope it doesnt happen (im an A-tan supporter =D) now hina has "entered" the fight and i guess more action could appear in the next few chapters and hopefully has the ending that would make me happy :D

Bleach latest chapter had Aizen wounded and ended with Hitsugaya stabbing Aizen in the chest, well, Aizen's face was really shocked and i really love Shinji's bankai lol. anyway now im guessing the following aftermath:

1. Aizen dies w/o Ichigo moving at all << highly impossible
2. Ichimaru comes and save Aizen but Aizen is wounded
3. Aizen powers up
4. Its ALL AN ILLUSION!!!!!! << im betting that this has happened and Ichigo wouldve found out that he had seen Aizen's SHIKAI = high chance o.o

just a note..., i wont be updating this blog as frequently as the past few weeks as school has officially started again and i most probably would not have the time to blog, like once per week or so, studies are still impt =) would try my best to fish out some spare time to update though, so do check back! =D

Had finally completed Darker than Black, both season 1 and 2, including the latest OVA episode... it really IS a great series, great plot, great storyline and kind of a sad + touching ending to end it all... unless a season 3 appears which i definitely would not mind =)

So for season 1, the story starts with 2 unique gates that had appeared at opposite places on the Earth, one called the Heaven's Gate while the other is known as the Hell's Gate. The gates have caused special people to obtain special abilities and they themselves would lose their "heart" and have minimal emotions, like not really feeling sad when someone gets killed, they are then known as contractors. The sky became fake as well with the stars replaced by stars which represented a contractor's life. There was an incident that happened near Heaven's Gate however, which the main character, Hei, was present in the war in that area. The main character was known as the Black Reaper and was feared by the other contractors, he uses 2 names in the series, one is Li while the other is Hei. He has the power to emit electricity and has no remuneration, which is smth that a contractor HAS to do or accomplish after they have used their power, like drinking alcohol for example. Hei works for an organisation called the Syndicate and has allies with him, another contractor, a human and a doll. Dolls are like mediums where they are programmed to have very little emotions and are only equipped with simple means of surviving, they also have special powers which allows them to scope the surroundings as long they are in contact with certain mediums. In Hei's team, the doll called Yin uses the medium water where when she is in contact with water, she is able to scout the surroundings as long as water is present, like sending out an observatory spirits. So mainly the 1st season shows Hei following the orders of the Syndicate and carries out the missions with caution to prevent himself from being caught. Near the end of the series, he meets a girl of the past, Amber, who has the ability to stop or reverse time but the uses are limited as her remuneration is causing herself to become younger, and attempts to question her on the whereabouts of his sister, Bai, who went missing after the incident near Heaven's Gate. Hei, however, helped in Amber's plan and successfully thwarted the plan to remove the existence of contractors from the face of the Earth, at the cost of Amber's life where she sacrifices herself to reverse time. The 2nd season continues some time after the 2nd season where Hei is now working for the CIA and is no longer with the Syndicate. Hei is seen in Russia at the start of the series and encounters a girl called Suou who has a contractor brother, Shion who is wanted by many people. Suou was given by her brother a piece of the meteor fragment which is a substance retrieved from the Hell's Gate and it grants Suou with contractor power which allows Suou to materialise a large rifle and her remuneration was folding origami. Hei helps Suou in trying to find her brother again after people went after their family in Russia. Hei taught Suou how to fight and sees her as an incomplete contractor as she was unwilling to take the lives of living beings which a contractor could easily take. Hei also loses his contractor powers early in the season but he could still complete missions he was given. Near the end of the series, Suou realises that she was a copy created from her brother, Shion's ability and she had already died many years before. She was however determined to meet with her brother once again which she sees her brother for the last time inside the Gate. On Hei's side, Yin had awakened as the Izanami and if she meets up with another being, disaster will befall the earth and Hei advances to kill Yin. Suou, at the last moment, pointed her gun at Izanami after seeing that Shion was gone and so was July, their ally, but Izanami had destroyed the meteor fragment she was carrying, resulting in her losing her memories. It had seemed that Suou was created to carry out an experiment as the was only able to retain her memories as a copy due to the meteor fragment. Suou however tries to aim at Izanami again but Hei stops her and lay her to rest beside July. It was later seemed that Hei's star started to glow again which could mean that his powers had returned again and was last seen with Yin before the both of them disappears and was never seen nor heard again. It was later shown that Suou was happily living with her dad and mom, without Shion, and had seen July as a human and not a doll. It was in fact Suou living in another Earth that Shion had sacrifice his life to create, a copy of the Earth without the Gates so that his sister, Suou, would be able to live happily there.

Season 2 wasnt that great as season 1, maybe due to the fact that there was lesser action since Hei had lost his contractor power. Suou's rifle could take up a more unique shape instead of looking more of like a military rifle. Season 2 had a sad ending and i felt bad about Suou being used as an experimental subject and was in the end sent to a copied world to live in. Hei and Yin COULD be brought to the copied world as well since Hei had told Suou that he would always be by her side and at the copied world, Suou had felt something missing which COULD be either Shion or Hei. Would've preferred a happier ending for Suou though =X

For the OVA, the Gaiden series, it seems to be happening in between S1 and S2 which would most probably and hopefully show the transformation of Yin to Izanami and im hoping for the OVA, perhaps the last one, to show the aftermath of Hei and the others AFTER season 2.

It was definitely a nice series, shldve watched it earlier lol =X Loved the last few episodes from both series though =) Love their music as well :D



The starting portion of Sora no Woto really did surprised me with the "engaged with enemy" scene which most probably would not happen for the rest of the series since i dun tink this series would be moving towards action and their tank has yet to be completed. really did LOL-ed when Noel joked to Kanata about a professor whoes surname was Pro and the name Fessor ._. still loved the episode though... somehow i just cant get bored from it =X

this really IS another WOT =X
