I’m backkkk!!!!~~ Sort of. -.-” I just came back to make my Spring Anime post. Anyways, sorry I’ve been absent from blogging for awhile. Just been into k-pop and I’ve been just busy. XD I just want you guys to know that I am hoping to return to blogging…I haven’t just left or anything. But since I’ve been absent from blogging myself, sorry I couldn’t comment on other blogs. DX

Anyways, let’s get started~ I’ll be changing the icons later, but atm I just want to get the post out. Erm, sorry it’s actually late though. Some shows it’s really late, but hey~ most shows are coming out April, so…^^” I’m just enjoying my spring break–well, not really. >_> *studying is frustrating her*

So here’s the chart:

Spring 2010

So here are shows that caught my interest, though I might check out the first episode for some that aren’t even listed down here. I really won’t be blogging much because I’m still busy. Dx Probably just first impressions. If I do blog, it’s most likely going to be either just one series, or Random Anime. If there are any mistakes (since I have plenty of them) feel free to point them out. Most of the information is from MyAnimeList and/or the chart (credit: chartfag), and being the lazy girl I am, the summaries are copied and pasted from MAL. orz. So here are the shows in no particular order.

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!!

Airdate: 4/1/10

Episodes: Unknown

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

A romantic comedy that centers on the student council head named Misaki Ayuzawa who despises the mostly male, slovenly population at her school, which was once an all-boys school. However, Misaki’s most handsome schoolmate just discovered her secret — that she works afterschool at a maid café.

Kyaa~ Probably the most anticipated show for me. >w< I barely read the manga, but I always saw clips of it, my friends always told me about it, and so I began liking it from that. I did read some chapters myself, so…yes. Anyways, I was skeptical about the anime from that first scan we got awhile back, but after seeing the trailer, I got excited for it again. Misaki actually doesn’t look too bad. It’s Usui I’m worried about. =.= Couldn’t they make him…better looking? Well, I guess maybe because it’s anime, but still…

Watching? Oh yes. =w=

Blogging? Most likely…I’ll try….X3

Angel Beats!

Airdate: 4/2/10

Episodes: 13

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

In a world after death, angels fight for their fate and their future. Yuri, the leader of the Shinda Sekai Sensen, rebels against the god who destined her to have an unreasonable life. On the otherhand, Tenshi, the chairperson of the student council for the world after death, battles against the SSS members. SSS members utilize armed weaponry to battle it out against the angels harnessing supernatural powers.

Seriously, the show sounds awesome to me. X3 Plus, it’s Key’s next anime. Key is already practically an automatic watch all on its own. And having an awesome summary, animation, and character designs just won me over. I really don’t know much about the show itself, but I am looking forward to it.

Watching? Checking it out for sure.

Blogging? First impressions…?

Working!

Airdate: 3/6/10

Episodes: Unknown

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

Set in a family restaurant in Hokkaido, the northern prefecture of Japan, 16 year old high school student Takanashi Souta works part-time along with his strange co-workers: Taneshima Popura, a high school girl who’s a year older than Souta who’s easily mistaken for a elementary/middle schooler, and Shirafuji Kyoko, the 28-year old store manager who doesn’t bother to do any work at all.

I already watched the first episode, so of course I’m interested. xDD It didn’t look too bad to be honest. The character designs are really nice, and it seems like a nice show to relax or eat ice cream to. I just find Poplar (Popura?) so adorable so far, even though I don’t know too much about her to judge her actual character. I don’t know, I’m fond of characters who don’t look their age since I’m in the same situation, lol. So anyways, the show looks good so far, so I’d like to continue checking it out. Now about Souta being a lolicon…>_>

Watching? Most likely when I can. Probably marathon it randomly, haha.

Blogging? Nahh…

Arakawa Under the Bridge

Airdate: 4/4/10

Episodes: Unknown

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

The story is about the strange courtship of a successful executive in life called Kou and a mysterious woman called Nino who lives under a bridge. It all begins when Kou almost drowns in a river but is saved by Nino. For saving his life, Kou fulfills Nino’s desire to have a boyfriend. Thus, Kou becomes her boyfriend, but has to live with her under the bridge…

I really no nothing about the rest of the shows, including this one. Just going by what I’ve read as a summary and pictures, it looks interesting. I’d like to check it out, since it looks pretty unique, different, and as I’ve said before before, interesting. For some reason I get the same type of animation vibe as One Piece and Fairy Tail. Especially One Piece because I see a guy with a star for a head. ._.”

Watching? Sure, I’ll check it out. :D

Blogging? Most likely not…

Mayoi Neko Overrun!

Airdate: 4/6/10

Episodes: 12

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

The story revolves around Takumi Tsuzuki, a boy who lives with his older “sister” Otome, although the two have no blood ties between them. Otome manages a run-down confectionery store called Stray Cats. One day, Otome picks up a mysterious beautiful girl off the streets.

This show looks cute. Yep, cute, light, and fluffy, which is why I’m going to check it out. I don’t know, it just seems like another fun light hearted series I could just relax to watching. Sounds a bit like Chobits, but it has to do with cats…so I have no idea where it’s heading. Oh well.

Watching? Check it out…?

Blogging? Nope.

Yojo-Han Shinwa Taikei

Airdate: 4/22/10

Episodes: 11

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

The story follows a nameless protagonist who is a third-year college student. The protagonist looks back at the earlier years of his college life and his adventures with a particular club.

I have no idea why I put this. -____-||| I just…did. I didn’t really want to, but something about it took my interest. I just want to see the first episode, really. I’m not expecting to like it, but I was going to a thread in MAL about it, and it got me convinced to at least give it a chance and try to check it out. By the way, the post is right here. Other than that, I’m not really sure about the animations, it seems very…old school western cartoon-ish. Oh, and I checked out the trailer…the guy talks wayyy to fast. O.o

Watching? Checking out the first episode.

Blogging? Nope!

Hakuouki

Airdate: 4/4/10

Episodes: Unknown

Website: [ Official Website | MAL | Melative ]

The protagonist, Yukimura Chizuru is the daughter of a doctor who works in Edo. The father leaves Edo to work as a volunteer doctor and moves to Kyoto without his daughter. As time passes by, Chizuru starts worrying about losing contact with her father, so she decides to go to Kyoto in search of him. On the way, Chizuru is attacked by few criminals and witnesses a fight between an oni and the Shinsengumi. Taking her into custody and saving her, the Shinsengumi debate on what to do with Chizuru when they discover that she is the daughter of the doctor they are also looking for. So they decide to become Chizuru’s protectors and help her look for her father(the doctor). Lots of events happen while she stays with the Shingensumi, as they discover mysterious secrets and also fight against the Bakumatsu group. The story is overall romantic with a historical and political background.

Whoaa…long summary. Anyways, I’m actually really looking forward to this show. I’m not usually into the historical stuff, but this show has samurais!! XDD And the Shinsengumi! Yup, based on what I usually watch, it seems so out of place for me to be excited over this show. Then again though, this is based off of an otome game. So maybe it isn’t too far off since there seems to be some romance in there? Anyways, I’m actually looking forward to the action of the series more than the romance *shockgasp!* but that’s a nice bonus to it, and it might change as I watch. I guess the excitement stems from my love of Rurouni Kenshin? I don’t know much about the series, so I can’t say if it is similar, though it just reminds me of the show, haha. Plus, the samurais are bishies. Never mind, they’re the creepy bishies (they look nothing like the pictures!), oh well. Whoa, long thought paragraph to go with long summary, haha.

Watching? Oh yes.

Blogging? Random Anime…? Or first impressions? We’ll see. :D

Other Blurbs

Ketsuinu and B Gata H Kei: Wtf? Are you serious?

I was looking through the shows and I noticed that Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitte Iru sounded pretty good, and I was about the put that up, until I realized it was shounen-ai (not really into shounen-ai >_>). So that’s why I ask…why does there always have to be a catch? D:< Then again though, it might be a good thing I’m not interested. If I were, I’d have to remember that title. OwO

I was also going to put Senko no Night Raid, which I am pretty interested in also (why didn’t I put it up there then…I don’t know), but I’m not really into historical, like I said before. Plus, I’m kinda worried how they might portray Chinese…? That was probably the main reason I didn’t put it up–the different country portrayals. But I still will most definitely give it a shot.

Haiyoru Nyaru-Ani also caught my interest with the picture, but after the summary that it’d be from Flash, I got turned off. Flash cartoons don’t really look that great, in fact, most “cartoons” I see from flash that still try to look like anime and not a chibi, look really unbearable to me. DX Plus, the summary said that it’d just gags, so I was just like, “Never mind then.”

—

Yup, so that’s it. Anyways, I thought there were more shows I’d be interested in, but I guess not. We’ll have to see though. Maybe I’ll check something out that I didn’t plan to from reading a blog post, I don’t know. xD

I’m back!! *sigh* I’m extremely sorry about the sudden hiatus. I miss blogging. >.< I’ve been pretty much banned from doing anything fun on my usual computer, so I’m using another computer, lol. Anyways, I’ve gotten to do some stuff over break, so it calls for another Blossom Blabber! I seriously need to do these more often. So this Blossom Blabber includes anime, manga, drama, music, blog info, and other. Not a lot at all this time, but enjoy!

Anime

Kimi ni Todoke

Currently catching up on Kimi ni Todoke. Kimi ni Todoke’s animation quality though is just…dropping. Everyone looks so weird now. I guess it was to be expected though. So far though, I really want to slap Kurumi for Sawako, haha. She’s just so cruel to Sawako. I know can’t wait to see how she’ll turn good…O.o Anyways, Ryuu at the moment is also being pretty epicly awesome, as expected. And, it seems like there’s a little love triangle forming and Kazehaya is getting a bit jealous. Oh well~ Can’t wait to see more Kimi ni Todoke. :D

Kaichou wa Maid-sama!

I saw the scan for the Kaichou wa Maid-sama anime and…blergh. It’s…not very good, honestly. But then again, it’s to be expected. Shoujo is hard to be adapted and it’s pretty hard to keep Usui’s hawt-ness in the anime. I’m still excited but also a little worried about the anime coming up.

Manga

Koukou Debut

I had recently went to my local bookstore along with my friends, and we decided to check out the manga section. I had found tons of series, and saw Koukou Debut. It had caught my attention before, but this time I actually got to look at a few chapters. Since we were limited in time, afterwards, I decided to check it out online. Gah! I became addicted to the series immediately. It had that cliche’d shoujo couple, but maybe that’s why I loved it so much. I haven’t finished it, but I’ve loved all of the chapters I’ve read. It gets slightly more boring mid-way, but I still would like to read more if I could.

Shugo Chara

So far the preview for chapter 48 looks pretty good and pretty heartwarming. Slightly less confusing, lol. I’m glad to see Ikuto again, but I’m also sad to see Yoru go. Not much more to say until the full scanlations come out.

Now onto the actual thoughts for the manga series…

Click to show fangirl rage: Show ▼

Ahem…yup.

Drama

Dramas are my current addiction~ >.<

Bloody Monday

After hearing about the second season from ANN, I decided to go check out Bloody Monday. I’ve been talking about it on twitter for awhile as well. I have to say that it is strangely addicting. Even though it’s pretty bloody and usually not my type of drama, it somehow ended up being a drama that I actually finished. Maybe it’s because of Haruma Miura playing the main actor, lol. It may not be the best drama to some, but I personally liked it. It kept me to the edge of my seat and was full of suspense. There were so many plot twists, unpredictable, and “OMG NO!” moments that I found it fun because I couldn’t tell what would happen next. Usually you can tell what will happen, but it’s just really hard to for this series. I guess another reason I liked it was because it has the same vibe as Liar Game. Both are pretty similar with suspense and twists. So much detail in both of them. However, there are flaws like most drama. Sometimes it’s overdramatic and you want to smack the characters back to normal. Overall though, I really enjoyed it, and it was able to take up the majority of my time during vacation.

Koizora

Upon realization that Haruma Miura was in Koizora, and remembering that I never finished the movie, I decided to watch Koizora. I have to say, it’s so beautiful! TT^TT It’s definitely a touching, quite sad, movie. It has a few older elements to it like pregnancy and well, rape, but nothing explicit is actually shown. Now if only the novel was translated somewhere…

Devil Beside You

I’ve just recently start the Taiwanese drama Devil Beside You. Ah~ I’m only on episode 5 so far, but I’ve loving it. It’s a little more “dramatic” and well, over the top, but I still like it. Maybe it’s because of how cliched it is…Nonetheless, I’m loving it. I really want to set Li Xiang’s hair on fire though, gar. The mother and father are hilarious and suit each other really well though. Especially the father. He’s acts like a pedo in a hilarious way, even though he isn’t one, I don’t think. Oh and I forgot to mention that Mike He is so awesome. <3 Especially in this picture and in the bed scene of episode 3. At the moment though, I’m loving it and MUST go watch more. >:3

Music

So pretty~

Uwahh…all the music stuff is old now thanks to the break. Oh well, please excuse it’s total late…ness.

Listened to America’s single, and…as the preview hinted, it’s epic! America is just so plain adorable in Hamburger Street and the song is definitely catchy. Ah~ Love it! Also, I listened to the Kimi ga Iru Kara single. It’s such a beautiful song and never gets old. It makes me upset though that they’re using My Hands for the North American release. The song just doesn’t…fit. I mean, I don’t have anything against Leona Lewis or the song, and it’s a decent song on it’s own, but for FFXIII it’s just not right.

Also decided to listen to more BoA, and her songs are such catchy songs! I don’t like the lyrics, but the melodies are just…awesome. I love looping her songs and they’re such fun songs to dance to. BoA’s awesome at dancing too. :3 My friend also introduced me to Brown Eyed Girls, and I don’t care if they all had plastic surgery, I love their music! They’re dancing is a little…”Whoaa O.O” but the songs are somehow catchy (that’s seriously all I can say about songs, huh?). Candy Man is one of my favorites and I really don’t get why, at all. It is though.

Lastly, in American music and albums, I decided to listen to The Fame Monster and For Your Entertainment. I absolutely adore both albums. I am now officially in love with Lady Gaga’s music. Her songs are uh-mazing. She’s a little on the eccentric side, but it doesn’t stop me from loving her songs. As for For Your Entertainment, I’ll be ignoring all the controversy about Adam Lambert and say that his album was actually pretty good. O.O The songs are catchy and fun to listen to. Easy as that.

Blog Info

It’s pretty obvious already but I was on a sudden hiatus. I’m back though, but I’m still trying to catch up so at the moment blogging is somewhat slowed down. I was hoping for tons of holiday posts, but I guess not. I still need to catch up after my return, so things will slowly come back. ^^ I’ve also added a new K-On! holiday banner. There were tons of cute K-On! scans, so I decided to finally use one as a banner. It’s pretty average, but still satisfactory I guess…

Other

Cell Phone Novels

After watching Koizora, I decided to read up a bit on cell phone novels, which is the genre that the original Koizora was from. I’m so intrigued at the thought of a cell phone novel. It just seems so cool and interesting to me. *A* Only scary part is the number of chapters. It’s a scary thought to try to catch up. So I started checking out some cell phone novels at textnovel.com, but to be honest I want to read the Japanese cell phone novels, if only they were translated. Anyways, I started checking out a cell phone novel Secondhand Memories, which is pretty close to a typical Japanese cell phone novel. So far it’s pretty interesting. So many chapters though! 150+ chapters….Anyways, cell phone novels are pretty fun to read to pass the time, but they honestly lack some of the depth of actual novels. Nonetheless, they’re fun and entertaining if you just want something quick to read!

Keychains

Keychain making: my latest addiction. *A* It’s really addicting to do, and so many keychains look so cute! >u< Anyways, it’s not hard to make at all (unless you’re going for a super pretteh one…then obviously it’s going to be hard) and you can get the supplies anywhere. I checked out a couple deviantart tutorials and made a few. Probably my favorite thing to make is flan. Flan can be so cute…and since before I needed to raise money, keychain making was in considering. Only problem is, they only sell for like a buck. O.o

Okay…so that really wasn’t much in the end. It was probably because I forgot so much stuff after my break that I had to delete lots of stuff from the post because of how outdated it was. Anyways, I’ll start posting more soon. So for now, seeya!
