<p>Ah, so I’ve been recently marathoning some anime for this season, catching up on some series, if you’ve been following my twitter. So I thought I gathered up enough anime to do a Random Anime issue! Ah it’s been so long! <img src='http://blossommedia.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Pink-Usagi/Happy.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So this Random Anime issue will include Eden of the East, 07 Ghost, Pandora Hearts, and Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~. But more of a series so far thoughts, rather than one episode.</p>
<p>(And on a blogging note, since I don’t have much for BB, I’ll be doing a double week post again)</p>
<p><span id="more-960"></span></p>
<p><strong>Eden</strong><strong> of the East</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-965" title="EoE11" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/eoe11.jpg" alt="EoE11" width="539" height="297" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Before I made a small blurb about the movie, even though I never finished the series. Well, I did yesterday and I have to say, I like its awkwardness! But now I really want the movie because I have to agree with everyone that the end was not satisfying, which gives us an opening for the movies to finish it off. Let’s see…Saki x Akira ftw! xD For once I was thankful that the wound stopped Akira from almost…kissing (was it?) Selecao #11. Yeah, don’t interfere with Sakira! And who the heck is the girl with the umbrella? The show it obsessed with Johnnys…now I will not be able to take anyone named Johnny seriously ever again thanks to this anime. But even though it’s weird, I like it somehow. There’s that charm that makes me really like the show. Akira is really cool, and so I do think he is an awesome character. Ohsugi was annoying…And I couldn’t believe it when I found out Micchon’s voice actress is the same as Honey-senpai, even though after I heard it a little, it began to fit. The pun was…interesting. &gt;_&gt; And let’s see…nothing more to say. Dx But now I am looking forward to the movies…I just hope I remember by then.</p>
<p><strong>07 Ghost</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_964" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 547px"><img class="size-full wp-image-964" title="07G10" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/07g10.jpg" alt="07G10" width="537" height="307" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Mikhail is WIN. &lt;3~</p></div>
<p>Ah! Mikage!!!!!!~ I almost TT^TT from Mikage dying, even though I knew it was coming. But still! The scene with the last words of Mikage is so sad. TT^TT Aww…Teito and Mikage’s relationship is so sweet too…Now for a change of mood. Mikhail is freakin’ awesome! Gosh I love Mikhail so much! He’s so brattishly awesome. I love what he says about Teito being the best looking. xD And Hakuren! Jun Fukuyama! Anyways, 07 Ghost got a lot more interesting now that we don’t have as many fillers. So yeah, I’ll be following 07 Ghost now. =3 I love it now, it’s just hilarious yet good and dramatic at the same time. Yes~ Now I feel bad that even though I love the series I have nothing much to say. TT^TT</p>
<p><strong>Pandora Hearts</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_966" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 491px"><img class="size-full wp-image-966" title="PH8" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/ph8.jpg" alt="PH8" width="481" height="355" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Paying attention to Alice, so cute while eating flowers~</p></div>
<p>I was seriously hesitant to try to watch the series, but after I heard practically everyone talk about how great it was, I had to check it out. Hmm, yes yes. I absolutely love the show now. So much, that I just might start reading the manga because of it. Yeah, I only do that for animes that I <em>really</em> like. Otherwise, I just stick to watching the anime. Or I just read the mangas that aren’t adapted into animes yet. But anyways, I really think the series got much more interesting, I guess because we’re finally getting into the story rather than starting off and explaining everything (that usually is pretty boring). I don’t mind the quality anymore, even though it isn’t the best. Alice is as awesome as they say. She is just…awesome. I really love her, she is definitely one of my favorite characters. She can be cute and tough at the same time. Let’s see…I liked Echo when she first appeared in the Phillip part (even though I did my research about her). For some reason I like those quiet characters. Oz…isn’t a bad hero. But I am a 100% Oz x Alice shipper fangirl already, kya~. I just need more Oz x Alice moments. D:&lt; Give me MOAR~ Cheshire Cat kinda looks cool as a human, even though his voice annoys me and he looks a bit creepy at certain moments (maybe cover his eyes and take out those claws?). Oh oh! And JACK~ :3 Wait…he has a braid. &gt;_&gt; Oh well, whatever. Anyways, I seriously love this series now and will have to follow it. I’m really glad I forced myself to watch it! xD</p>
<p><strong>Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_968" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 547px"><strong> </strong><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-968" title="PRFTP4" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/prftp4.jpg" alt="Love their acting~" width="537" height="310" /></strong><p class="wp-caption-text">Love their acting~</p></div>
<p>I remember that I really liked the beginning of this series, and while I looked for one more anime to add, I decided to watch Phantom. So far, I like it, but I haven&#8217;t finished all of the episodes released so far. It was a pretty good beginning and all, but later Ein didn&#8217;t get as much screentime and gah, I don&#8217;t like it. I only finished up to episode&#8230;6. But I think episode 7 is supposed to be more focused on Ein again (yay~). As obviously stated, Ein is my favorite character. I just&#8230;like her I guess. She&#8217;s cute when she needs to be and is the toughest one&#8230;and most dangerous. I guess it&#8217;s scary, but I like it. And when she does show some emotion or interest in Zwei, it&#8217;s cute (Zwei x Ein~). I love her acting too. Zwei&#8230;lol. I don&#8217;t know why, but whenever Ein beats him I start laughing and pointing like some evil sadist. But he gets better later on, I guess. I still don&#8217;t know what&#8217;s the deal with his eyes though. That one lady (Ms. McCunnen was it?) needs to go away though. Gah, going in between Zwei and Ein and being the reason Ein leaves so much. Gar. ._. That old man is a pedo. &gt;_&gt; He&#8217;s like&#8230;obsessed with Ein or something. It&#8217;s creepy, ew. Another thing I don&#8217;t like though, is that there&#8217;s so much fanservice of Ein. She&#8217;s always around nekkid and Zwei barely seems flustered and ugh. Oh and whenever I think there&#8217;s a Zwei x Ein moment, there&#8217;s no blushing. D:&lt; I need my blushing! But besides that, I like the show, the action isn&#8217;t that bad~</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>On another thought&#8230;.it&#8217;s pretty funny. When I feel like something is missing and I want to see some certain something, I get it in the preview? When I decide to see it? And then when I finally get excited again, I can&#8217;t finish up my marathoning because I have to do something is. &gt;_&gt; Oh well, some weird coincidence or something. Like, I wanted more of their pasts in Phantom, and apparently it&#8217;s coming~ :3</p></div>

<p>The spring season barely has anything good, but it&#8217;s okay, I have a couple unexpected shows that I&#8217;m following, and <em>are </em>good-looking. And unexpected shows I&#8217;m not going to follow (or at least not get excited over). Sorry it&#8217;s a late post, but I just finished watching everything I wanted to watch. So it&#8217;s just a blurb on all of the anime I watched for Spring. But Spring is making me turn to more mangas. &gt;_&gt;</p>
<p>On a bonus note&#8230;April. Oivei. Anyways, this month I have huge tests to study for and all the posts I had planned are probably b e postponed. :( These two months are sooo busy. -_- May will, I hope, be better.</p>
<p><span id="more-527"></span><strong></strong></p>
<p><em>In whatever order&#8230;</em></p>
<p><em>I was too lazy to upload the images, so yes, images taken off the internet. I provided the link to where I found it. I don&#8217;t like doing that, but the computer I&#8217;m currently using is jam-packed. It&#8217;s already taking 15 minutes to start up. O.o Um, and I tried recycling images&#8230;oh how lazy can I get??<br />
</em></p>
<p><strong>Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom~</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_367" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 293px"><a href="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/prftp.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-367" title="prftp" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/prftp.jpg" alt="prftp" width="283" height="401" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Yes, I was lazy enough to use the same picture...</p></div>
<p>Super long name. And the word Phantom got so repetitive! Anyways, this show wasn&#8217;t actually that bad, it kept my attention the whole way through. Of course, there were some scenes that were brought up randomly. I got lost a lot trying to figure out what was the past, present, or whatever. The animation wasn&#8217;t great, but wasn&#8217;t terrible (we all know it could be worse). The music fits well with the show, and so it isn&#8217;t that bad. But the animation for the opening and ending I found was pretty&#8230;I don&#8217;t know what word would fit. But he was walking on the ceilings. O.o It&#8217;s supposed to be cool, but to wrap it up, I didn&#8217;t really like the animation for the OP and ED. Let&#8217;s see, for the characters, apparantly the guy is supposed to have lost his memory. Ein is pretty cool, as an emotionless, assassin. She&#8217;s probably my favorite character. Um&#8230;that&#8217;s about it for now. So I think I&#8217;ll watch it a little more, to see how it is. It hasn&#8217;t turned me away yet.</p>
<p><strong>K-On!</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="K-On!" src="http://i447.photobucket.com/albums/qq194/spalose2/K%20ON/moe67840sample.jpg" alt="" width="476" height="358" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>Everyone seems to love this show, and it seems to be the favorite for the season for a lot of people. I enjoyed this show a lot, and it is an extremely cute show. I liked Lucky Star, so I guess that&#8217;s why I liked this show more. It&#8217;s just a slice-of-life, so it&#8217;s good to watch for relaxing. Sometimes I went -_- and others I smiled. <img src='http://blossommedia.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Pink-Usagi/Happy.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' /> KyoAni never gives me trouble on the animation, need I say more? This show is about music, and so far the music is pretty good. The opening isn&#8217;t bad, but the ending is probably the best thing about this series. It&#8217;s awesome! It&#8217;s one of my favorite endings now. :D The outfits are sort of out there, but the rest is so catchy that I gotta love it! Mio is freakin&#8217; awesome, Yui is moe-full, Tsumugi is your extremely polite and nice ojou-sama, and Ritsu&#8217;s the dramatic one. Overall, it&#8217;s not a bad cast of characters. I&#8217;m going to keep watching this too, even though I originally didn&#8217;t plan to, it&#8217;s a cute show.</p>
<p><strong>Gokujou!! Mecha Mote Inchou</strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://myanimelist.net/anime/6117/Gokujou!!_Mecha_Mote_Iinchou/pic&amp;pid=13986"><img title="GMMI" src="http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/12/13986l.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="402" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">From MAL...</p></div>
<p>Omg. Worst. Anime. Of. The. Season. I&#8217;m depressed. Seriously, if the animation wasn&#8217;t 3-D, the show would have been fine. Then again, I went -_-||| too on how the main girl acted towards the main guy, since she seemed like an obsessed fangirl. But the animation. My god. I wish I never would have had to see those sticks. It reminds me of those Barbie movies, but even those were more fluid (don&#8217;t ask how I know). I wanna cry! So moving on. The characters would have been pretty good looking. The main guy was pretty cool, and the main girl seemed pretty nice, but I guess I can&#8217;t really acknowledge that anymore. So yes, I am officially dropping this (And I really wanted to see that hamster&#8230;has it popped up yet? I dropped the episode within 5 minutes).</p>
<p><strong>Valkyria Chronicles</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="Valkyria Chronicles" src="http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv129/akeronTZB/SenjounoValkyria-GallianChronicles.jpg" alt="" width="354" height="500" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t plan on watching this show, but I heard it was a good show, so I did watch it and it was good. :D I enjoyed watching it, and it has a hint of everything that I love. Awesome action, romance, etc. The music&#8217;s mediocre, but I liked it still. I&#8217;m able to pay attention more on the show. The animation is decent I guess, I like it. It fits well, and the sketch effect is unique, in a good way. The characters are great. Alice is awesome! And her hair is awesome as well, I love her pigtails! She seems like a cute tsundere, especially around Welkin. And then there&#8217;s Welkin, he&#8217;s the easy-going guy. Haha, I feel sorry for him with all of the confusion, but he&#8217;s likable. <img src='http://blossommedia.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Pink-Usagi/Happy.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' /> And his sister is awesome too, my second favorite character just because she&#8217;s so cool handling her weapons. Tank, shooting the soldier, etc. This show totally caught my attention, so I&#8217;m definitely following.</p>
<p><strong>07-Ghost</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_370" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 335px"><img class="size-full wp-image-370" title="07g" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/07g.jpg" alt="07g" width="325" height="400" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Oh look, more laziness...</p></div>
<p>One of my favorite expected-to-be shows of the season! Kyaa~Ah I love the story for it, I love the character relationships, and I love the voice acting. The animation is loyal to the manga, and a great adaptation in terms of character design, etc. Sometimes I get confused by the story a little, but I&#8217;ll try to manage. They didn&#8217;t kill it or anything. Mikage reminds me so much of Tamaki, and that&#8217;s one reason why I like him. I love how he is so great to Teito, and so genki it makes me smile. Teito is cool, but there are other characters that outshine him more. Looking forward to the introduction of all the characters&#8230;But I am definitely watching and continuing as well.</p>
<p><strong>Pandora Hearts</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_366" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 309px"><img class="size-full wp-image-366" title="ph" src="http://blossommedia.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/ph.jpg" alt="ph" width="299" height="416" /><p class="wp-caption-text">When things looked awesome for the anime</p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s&#8230;very sad. A very sad, sad adaptation. I barely wanted to finish the first episode. It&#8217;s boring. I know that people are complaining about how the animation quality isn&#8217;t good, but I can live with it. I&#8217;m going to watch a couple more episodes to see if it&#8217;s just a bad first impression, because I don&#8217;t want to lost hope. This was one of the shows I was looking forward to the most. For my opinion on the animation, not bad. It isn&#8217;t as good as I thought it&#8217;d be, but I can live with it. As for the characters&#8230;eh. I&#8217;m hoping to make Alice my favorite character, since she looked awesome in the promo pics, but in the episode, I guess the evil-like laugh kinda turned me off. Oh well, I&#8217;ll leave it to the next couple episodes to get a proper impression. But my first impression, not good.</p>
<p><strong>Eden of the East<br />
</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="aligncenter" title="EoE" src="http://i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu182/Scarbrain/eden.jpg" alt="" width="286" height="356" /><br />
</strong></p>
<p>lolwut? Random&#8230;I liked this show despite it&#8217;s&#8230;awkwardness. xD It was quite&#8230;interesting. It was interesting but I liked it. An actual show where they got English voice actors for once. It can get bothersome when they try to get someone to speak English but they have a terribly thick accent, so I acknowledge them for their effort. The animation reminded me of a North American show though&#8230;but it&#8217;s still decent. I&#8217;m not a big fan of it though. And I don&#8217;t get their noses. Oh well, I can manage. I like the opening, it&#8217;s really cool, especially the animation for it. The second anime I&#8217;ve seen where they&#8217;ve used an English song. <img src='http://blossommedia.net/wp-content/plugins/smilies-themer/Pink-Usagi/Happy.gif' alt='^_^' class='wp-smiley' /> The characters are pretty funny. Especially Akira. The nakedness was&#8230;random. O.o He flashes too much though. O.o Um&#8230;he bribes people off of doing that or what? And Saki is a likable character as well, especially her reactions. She seems pretty calm for seeing a naked man. -_-I&#8217;ll be following this to see where this is heading&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;</p>
<p>I still need to watch Tears to Tiara and Asura Cryin&#8217;. Oh well, it&#8217;s low on my priority list. So now I&#8217;ll be going back to reading/watching Lovely Complex (never got back to it since last year). And my friends are pressuring me to read Kitchen Princess. Also note that these are my impressions for the FIRST episodes, so&#8230;even though it may be different for the second episode, it&#8217;s only considering the first.</p>
