| ok, this is my anime/whatever I feel like review of the top things of the year.
2005 has been a pretty good year for everything including anime and
jrock. Jrock I had high expectations with some releases this year and
was not dissapointed, however with anime I did not have high
expectations and it suprised me this year. I am also interested to know
other people's top fav this year. anime/game/movies/music etc, so
please feel free to comment if you wish.
Favourite anime series:
haha, everyone knew this was coming first right?
1) Blood+
2) Jigoku Shoujo
3) Rozen Maiden: Traumend
Ones that came close:
Shuffle!
Tsubasa Chronicle
Blood+ may be an ongoing series however it has suprised a few people
after being a sequel to the well known film, Blood: The Last Vampire
which was really too short for most people to think good, however the
series is different. At being 52 episodes long and only just run its
12th episode we are in for a long ride. Definately was a title to look
out for this year.
Jigoku Shoujo is a sleeper hit, not popular but among its fans it is
extremely popular. Jigoku Shoujo translated as Hell Girl is captivating
as it is mysterious. Another ongoing series at 1/2 way through after
just airing its 13th episode out of a total of 26 episodes. This one
may not be well known but is definately worth watching.
Rozen Maiden: Traumend, I knew I would like this as I quite enjoyed the
1st series however I did not think I would enjoy it as much as I have.
The only thing I disliked? to many nonsense filler episodes. Already
airing its 9th episode out of a total of 12 episodes this series is not
for everyone, however for the people it is for, if you can ignore the
nonsense at times it proves to be a good series.
Favourite OP theme
1) Jigoku Shoujo OP theme 2: I just really like this song, not sure why. It just seems fitting.
2) Tsubasa Chronicle OP theme: Kinya's Blaze is a really good song, upbeat and catchy it goes with the show well.
3) Blood+ OP theme: Everyone knows I am a big fan of Takahashi Hitomi
let alone with her singing the OP to Blood+, I was excited, and I love
the song. Aozora no namida could have been placed higher if I didn't
love the two above so much.
Favourite ED theme:
1) Blood+ ED: Some people think the singer of the ED cannot sing, she
can! This is a slow song compared to the upbeat fast and catchy OP
theme.
2)Gundam SEED Destiny Final ED theme: I am not sure what it is about
this song, it is just likeable, and plus I much prefered this ending
for SEED Destiny as compared to the last episode.
3) Jigoku Shoujo ED theme: hehe, everything about this show is great,
even both the OP and ED. Although I prefer the OP more, the ED still
needs credit. The song's sad tone tries to portray the fact that Ai is
not happy with her job as the Jigoku Shoujo, however I am only
guessing. Guess I will have to wait for the next episode to air to see.
Favourite movies
No order, but my top 3 picks.
Kung Fu Hustle: It is very rare that I laugh at a movie, however Kung
Fu Hustle is definately a movie I find funny. Really funny. Everyone in
my family actually enjoyed this movie however I still wish that they
could have watched it in Chinese with subtitles because the dubbing on
this movie was so bad. The dub would be saying a totally different
thing to the subtitles that was pure comedy in itself. However, still a
good funny movie.
Memoirs of a Geisha: omg, this movie is really good. I was stunned how
their adaptation from book to movie actually worked because I thought
this was one book that I loved that they would not be able to turn into
a movie. I was totally wrong. Ziyi Zhang played her lead role really
well and with great performances from people like Ken Watanabe,
Michelle Yeoh and Gong Li (Gong Li was great) this was a really good
movie. Def. I will buy this when it comes out.
House of Flying Daggers: yes, this is a film from last year however it
is was released here this year, confusing I know, and yes I am still
blabbering on about this movie. It is a really great movie and I think
it has the right balance of action, romance etc. It was done well.
Another film staring Ziyi Zhang, however probably her other best movie.

| omg, days have gone so quick, and I cannot find any decent copies of
Elfen Lied manga (in japanese language). I have found only one site,
they only have the first 9 volumes though I don't want to go through
whole series just to have part of set, it is 12 volume series! Plus I
want to read the ending that I have not seen (as the anime ending is
different to the manga ending). I am considering buying the manga
anyways, at least that is 9 volumes, right? yeah and at $5 a piece I
really cannot go wrong XD at least that is what I think. The TV remote
dislikes me, greatly....>.> it does not want to change volume or
channel. Don' t you hate it when they do that? I do greatly, very very
annoying. I have bought most of my Christmas pressies for people now,
only two more people to get them for. My ancafe album has been shipped
to canada finally and my alice nine CD has finally arrived at mail
forwarding box. Not too long before I get both I don't think. I have
been waiting for them so long, I preordered them both so they were
shipped on release date....just takes ages for them to arrive through
customs I presume...>.>
As for anime, I have been watching a few new things: Rozen Maiden
Traumend episode 6: that was pretty good, better than the nonsense
episodes they sometimes stick in there. Blood+ episode 8: okies, I
suppose however I really hope this series will pick up some pace soon.
And I rewatched the whole series of Elfen Lied, I still cry at the last
episode, I really should not, as I don't usually cry at a lot of
things, apart from a few anime endings but Elfen lied's ending is
brilliant in my opinion however I just find it sad and cry. I am
greatly thinking of buying the rest of the manga, after all it is
pretty cheap and I want to know the different ending in the manga, I
have a rough idea, but having a rough idea and reading it yourself are
two totally different things, I do hope to be able to find the last
volumes somewhere. There are few anime scenes that I cry at, so Elfen
Lied achieves something great in making me able to cry. Chrono Crusades
ending makes me cry also when:
**********spoiler**********
Rosette is dying and she says how she does not want to die and all
that, and she wants to use the last of her power to heal Chrono. But
Chrono says he wants to die with her, and they both love each other,
and they die in the sunset thing...so sad...
also Saikano esp the bit when:::
***********spoiler**********
Akemi is dying and she tells Shuji that she also loves him. That was
just plain sad and depressing, however the whole of Saikano overall is
really sad...
sorry, for the spoilers everyone if you have not seen those series. I
won't spoil Elfen Lied for you, because well I really liked that series
and was glad that no one told me anything about it before I watched it.
So I won't XD
Anyways, this is enough for my talk about sad anime shows..lol
ttyl, Kupo

| Things have been getting me down lately, most things. I wish I could be
happy, however, however hard I try everything always seems to be thrown
back at me. I have been looking foward to it for weeks, getting my hair
cut, and it looked great to started off with. But now, it looks bad,
and life just does not seem to care how I feel. Here I am crying,
because everything has gone bad for me at every point in my life, sure
I have made some good friends who have stuck by me and not judged me by
my appearences or my apparent shyness when I first met them. I would
love to be one of those pretty people who seem so happy, but I am not,
and never will be. I am ugly. People who know me, will know that
I appear to everyone as such a hard person, a person who never
cries at anything, no matter how hard it hurts me, however that is
nothing like the real person that I am. I am someone who is extremely
emotional and does not believe in herself totally. All my hopes and
dreams, no matter how much I say them, deep down I know they will never
come true. I know that no matter how much I wish, they will still just
be one thing, dreams. This is the only depressing post I am ever going
to do on this blog, because from now on I am going to change. Those
dreams I will still keep in my heart, even though I know I will not
reach them. I will keep them with me, after all I have had them for so
many years. This is what I like about the PC and IMs and online shows,
and forums and all that such, I can hide from the fact that people
don't judge you by appearence they judge you by what you say and how
you act, on things that matter, not what is on the outside, but the
inside. But from now, I am going to try to start to believe in myself,
believe in my own doings, and even though I still think I am ugly, I am
going to try to not care. Is this right for me? I do not know, however
one thing I do know is, I am going to try. There are so many pretty
people in the world, why can't one of them be me? I mean, I am not good
looking at all, but the way I dress is cool and everything I always get
comments on my clothes. I am going to try my best, try to excel in
everything. My hair I should be able to fix, at the moment I have lost
my hair straigheners and spiky stuff so I need to find that, and then
hopefully, I can fix my hair. Thanks for all your kindness and
listening to me ^_^ I shall remember you all, always...

| Hi everyone! How have you been enjoying my shows so far? I hope
everyone liked them XD I will be doing tomorrow's show either today or
tomorrow, I may be slightly late as it is hard to find microphone as I
put it somewhere safe and now have lost it.
I have been getting some stuff for winter at the moment because it is
getting a lot colder here, it is getting towards -2c here and yesterday
it is -3c. I went out in the cold with a t-shirt, thin jacket, skirt
and massive fluffy boots. haha, I love my new boots they are like
amazing, and are big and black and are all furry all over the outside
of them. I got a lot of comments about people who liked my boots XD. I
need to get the other boots I saw as well, they are massive platforms
but they are really nice and go half way up leg. I really need to get
some of them, they look really similar to a pair Jui (Vidoll) wears in
one of their PVs. I also got some other things for winter, eg. a black
and white hat (not the winter kind of hat, but still nice XDD) I also
got some bright pink, purple and black gloves XD they are really nice
but my mother swears they don't go with any other winter item I have
XD. I can still wear them though haha.
I got Samurai Champloo Vol. 1 of manga yesterday, have started reading
a bit of it but it was late when we got back so have not even got past
1st chapter yet. Seems to be good though, and plus I loved the anime of
Samurai Champloo. Will let you know if I reccomend it (no doubt I will)
next time I update.
My mother got some movies for us to stop us getting bored as it is
snowing outside and I do not want to go out now as the snow is coming
down quite fast now. The movies we got were, Star Wars Episode 3:
Revenge of the Sith, this is one that we will probably all watch
together as my parents have seen all Star Wars movies, and I have seen
the other 2 new ones. My mother wanted to see Hitchhikers Guide to
Galaxy so we are going to watch that as well. It has good trailers
before it, haha, a film called Flightplan looks freaky but good, and
the new Narnia film which I want to see because I read all the books
when I was younger. My parents also got Species 3 which I am not sure
if I want to see, it is rated 14+ here so I can watch, I am just not
sure if I want to. I don't usually like films like that. My mother also
got Kung Fu Hustle, which I have wanted to see for a while. it is
action/comedy and got good ratings in the magazine I saw it in. It
looks quite funny with old women kung fu jumping over moving lorries
and everything, just a load of fun really XD.
I am saving up to buy people christmas pressies at the moment because I
have now started to get money again, so I can get christmas presents
for people. Not sure what I am getting for people, will have to see
what is there at time of looking. I have a good idea for some people
though, just not totally sure XD. I am hoping to maybe get some money
for Christmas as there is so much stuff coming out just after Christmas
that I totally dying to get. Things that interest me most, are new
Gazette album coming out Feb (long way away, however gazette albums are
very expensive and you have to preorder them before release) the
limited edition has a PV with it and that is one I definately want,
good price for just over 3000 yen. I also want to get Vidoll
mini-album which comes out Jan. 1st and has two different versions, one
has "Shutdown" PV and the other has "Chocoripeyes" PV. I want the
Chocoripeyes one, as I prefer that song to other. anyone interested in
seeing the advert for it, here:

Well everyone, hopefully Kate will come on at some point to update and to chat to people as well. ttyl all.
