Half Series

Posted by reim at 05:49 PM on February 1, 2005 .

by Miyawaki Yukino. Published in Indonesia by MnC.

Four books at once, a robbery by our local publisher ^^;

First impression reading this is, instead of manga, I felt more like reading novel, maybe the way the story is presented, and it's not like I've read a lot of novels anyway.

On to the summary, Miyamoto Akihi is a single girl with overly active father. Her father had a mutation to foreign branch of the company he's working, and he don't like the idea of leaving his dearest daughter alone in Japan while he don't know when he can come back. So the solution is, he decided by himself to arrange a marriage for Akihi.

First time she runs away and met someone, Takazawa Kakeru who's making a film and got charmed by her jumping down like angel. Knowing the situation, Kakeru offered a deal, he'll pretend to be her boyfriend, and she'll star the movie he's making. At first, Akihi don't like it, but she had to agree, that father of her used force to drag her.

And so, situation turns bad, her father asked them to marry and live together. One year later, when Kakeru is 18 and could legally marry, they'll finish the paperworks and have another marriage officially.

It's in this one year of waiting, living together with Kakeru that she starts to love her and want to marry him for real later.

The story is serialized in four books :

Half Engaged, the first part deals with Akihi's fake engagement and her love with Kakeru, but worrying about his feeling, and about Masaya ( Kakeru's friend ) who loved her also.

Half Wedding is when they're getting closer to marriage. Kakeru's step brother Wataru, who have a grudge with him tried to break their relationship. Mostly is about Akihi worrying if she betrayed Kakeru ( well... several time mis-identifying her brother in law and got into really compromising situations ).

Half Honeymoon is about Kakeru's attending movie festival in Hong Kong by invitation right at the day of their marriage. Akihi who wants him to have his dream let him go, not knowing that one of his old friend also loved him and want to take the chance. So Akihi somehow found herself in Hong Kong with the help of her father ( he planned it all along ) and the not-so-nice brother in law.

Half Ceremony with the opening, Half Scandal when they went to Hawaii for honeymoon. Up to the last day of their honeymoon and I bet he never had the slightest chance to bed his own wife ever since they starts living together for more than a year ^^;
Half Ceremony itself is about their wedding reception preparation ( mostly decided one sidedly by that father, as expected ). Kakeru got an offer to be an actor again by his favourite director ( who made him want to be a movie director also ). As a new star, they don't want things like he's married at such a young age.

The last book actually don't give as much conflicts as the previous ones, half of it is dedicated to a two part story Brilliant Magic ( hasn't read it ).

Overall, not a bad story, and the (maybe not so ) slow steps helped me enjoying it. The romantic athmosphere are... sparkly ? touching might not be the best thing to describe.
But I do expect two things that's lacking. The story focused a lot on Akihi's point of view and feeling, the author don't give much about their life as student. Also, even after that year together, Kakeru still keep a lot of things from his wife, he decided a lot and never told her.

Mahoraba eps 04 : nuku nuku

Posted by reim at 11:46 AM on February 2, 2005 in Mahoraba ~heartful days~ .

First day of school is not so fine for Shiratori. He had to make a drawing, but because everyone's partying all the night -in his room- that assignment is of course, unfinished. Other than Momoko-san ( the main culprit ) not feeling any guilt, his teacher, Shirogane Miyabi-sensei is a picturing of what Tamami could be in the future, smiling face with demon inside.

But too bad Ryuushi's friend don't say that line, Shiratori... soko no puchi-Shirogane-sensei mitai na ko wa Nani Mono nanda... ?

In the end, Kozue-chan offered to show Shiratori to the bookstore. Along way, everyone who think that Shiratori is Kozue's boyfriend are so happy they gave him a lot. The rest are the same with the manga other than Tamami tagging along. Until the last part where that maid won a refridgerator ( she want a futon ). In the manga, she got only tissue ^^;

Jinki:Extend eps 05 : Teki to Mikata to

Posted by reim at 08:12 PM on February 3, 2005 in Jinki: Extend .

They changed the opening animation again ! Well, half is the same as the previous episode.

Jinki Ao



In her first battle, Aoba met enemy she never expected, another Moribito Jinki, Toujya type. Aoba is hesitating because there are human inside. After a battle, both fell from the cliff.

The staff at Angel's base also detected someone in a place, the place where they kept unit 01. There, Kenta met a mysterious person err... Shizuka's boyfriend that showed Kenta a girl that will be the user of unit 01 because he can no longer ride it. Kenta-san is definitely pissed off seeing that boy kissed her.

Hakuya and Kenta had a swordfight, and Kenta is losing, until in the end, that girl move and protected him, just like that time when Akana, his wife protected him.

Back at Aoba, because Ryouhei leave her alone, she want to see the other Jinki. Mid way, she met Kouse, a boy who saw her without her pants and instantly likes her. They become friends quick because they both are alone without friend or family.
But then, they both know their position as pilot and placed as enemy.

Comparing the manga, they've already reached book three of Jinki. I like the Shitsu to Ryou ( episode 3 ) in manga version better, it showed more about why Rui is not just an arrogant kid that don't like Aoba being the pilot, something with she want to be Moribito's pilot and something happened in book 2 ( that I hasn't read ). The soccer game is after the running story.

While Taimen is actually the title of the story where Aoba met Kouse, continued with Teki to Mikata to. The story where Kenta fights with Hakuya is earlier, when Ryouhei and Aoba got the distress call from Rui and Minami that's attacked by Toujya ( Kouse's Jinki type ). There's also two pilots in Toujya, and Ryouhei actually got caught ^^;

It's funnier also. Kouse's partner is a lolicon sukebe. He likes young girls, especially around ten years old ( Rui and Aoba is about 13 ). When he saw Rui, he goes to embrace her, and got a kick from Minami right in the face. Chotto !! Uchi no Ko ni te dasanaide. ^^; Ryou and Kousei also got kicked ( with Type-72 ) because she mistaken that they're trying to have sex with Aoba in the forest ^^;;; Actually, they're saving her from a smaller sized Kodai Jinki.

Jinki Aka

Akao is, either consistent of her words, or stubborn. Satsuki used Moribito 2, even if she's not it's right user. The person decided to be the user is Akao, by the reaction from Alpha. But she insist on not wanting to hurt anyone.

The result, Elny is injured, so does Satsuki, who got even worse.

Chiko no Negai

Posted by reim at 10:26 PM on February 3, 2005 .

by Yabuchi Yuu Published in Indonesia by MnC.

A shoujo piece from Yabuchi Yuu, who's also known for her other work, Mizuiro Jidai. Unlike those published here by Elex, which mostly is her earlier works ( like Mizuiro Jidai, Karen ) this one is published in Japan at 2001. The style quite changed, a lot. The expression is sometime still like those older stories, and the cute girls also, but they got softer edges.

In this book, there are six stories.

Chiko no Negai, the first story is about a sparrow that loved Shuu, a boy who saved her life. Then one day, the god of death want to take him because his time has arrived. Chiko who loved him offered to give her life instead. She was granted a chance, because she's supposed to be dead when she's young, but Shuu saved her.
The ending is a kind of bittersweet ending.

Nakimushi Yukimushi, the second story starred Yukimura Arika, a crybaby that her friend called her Nakimushi Yukimushi ( a kind of insect that signed the coming snowfall ). She promised with Kei, the boy she loved to not cry anymore. But their relation didn't move, while another girl is in love with Kei also, a girl Arika think suits Kei a lot that it made her try to be like her.
This one, reminded me of Watase Yuu's Epotrance Mai that I read earlier ^^;

Reverse <=> Storm Warning. This one is about a girl that worried about her boyfriend's love. The problem is, he's not a romantic person, so their relationship moves in ultra slow pace. He even runaway when she asked him for a kiss. But because of an accident, he got a switch, a hard bump at his head and he changed personality to an agressive boyfriend for her.
No comment on this one.

Niji no Fugue. Perhaps, only the translated title here. Like this one also, about a girl that want to find the legendary rainbow to make her love blooms with the person she likes, a boy three years older ( bad difference of year ). But everytime she chased him, to high school, he'll already be graduating. That day when seeing the waterfall of rainbow, she met him training his trumpet play and since that time, they can meet each others often.
Childish perhaps, but it's cute, and I like that simple dreamy kind of story ^^

Spring Game, it's about accepting reality of failing. Izumi, the protagonist is failing her test to a private school, so she decided to coup with it by playing game. Suddenly, she's pulled into the game as a character, and met another person, Haru, who's also pulled in the same way from the real world. They learned about each others, and their similarity that led them into the game world, because they can't accept the reality that they failed to enter their favourite school.

Last story is Half-Bitter Gift. It's about the protagonist, Yukimi's attitude, overly active and donkan. She likes a boy in her class and want to make choco for him, with the help of her friend Aya. But she failed to realize who loved who except her own and starts deciding one sidedly.
Umm... light story also, the kind of Nakimushi Yukimushi IMO.

In overall, I like this one. It's like the old shoujo manga style I like. Maybe for most, the story is too childish, but for me, it's appealing, the nobody's playing the antagonist character kind and ends up happily. Plus, somehow felt heartwarming too.

Mahou Sensei Negima eps 05 : Fama volat

Posted by reim at 10:03 AM on February 6, 2005 in Mahou Sensei Negima .

They skipped the library island ! -_-

It's Kamo-kun's story, the beginning of all those kiss-fest in Nagima :D

Negi's sister told him about having a partner soon, and the twins heard ( part of ) it then starts the rumour and it grows bigger with thing such as Negi is a prince. In the other place, Eva felt someone entering the school area, not a dangerous person, but better to report to the principal.

Kamo-kun ( a.k.a Camomille Arbell ), came to help Negi find his partner, and decided instantly that it's Nodoka. He even arranged a temporary pact for both of them.
Unsincere as it looks, Kamo-kun is prosecuted for stealing 3'000 pieces of girls underwear. He want to help Negi to be a Magister Magi, and thus, he became his familiar and would get more convenience ^^;



Next is already Eva's story arc. The preview... Eva is bored because Chachamaru's only answer to her is Hai Master, so she asked if there's other reply. Chachamaru showed her new function, and answer her with nandeyanen ?

When reading English text, Nodoka's seiyuu, Noto Mamiko don't sound so bad, not so fluent, but not terrible either. But it's like she's reading the script written in katakana instead of roman text tho' some words sounds weird.

Jinki book 4

Posted by reim at 09:05 AM on February 7, 2005 in Jinki: Extend .

Source : raw scan from WinNY.

This is from the first series, finally got to the last book. Just like to write some thoughts of comparing it to the anime, like that time with Rozen Maiden.

There's several things left in book 4, actually not that little, but felt a bit compressed compared to the previous books, but might be suggestion from watching the anime first. Several plots left are...

There's eight episodes left, so they might make the most of that slice between Jinki and Extend ( the blue and red part ) because the story left if it's with the manga might goes at most to episode 11 or 12.
The first two might get into an episode, cliffhanger at the first explosion.
Episode 7 goes until either Ichigouki showed up, or until the hangar is destroyed.
Episode 8 could go to chapter 14, duel against Toujya.
Then what's left is chapter 15, 陽のあたる場所、could probably take 2 to 3 episodes if they stretch it.

By the way, this is just my guessing, not something from any official source. And I hasn't really understand the whole story in the manga either.

Still don't understand about what's Table Dust

Mahoraba eps 05 : Negapoji

Posted by reim at 07:49 AM on February 9, 2005 in Mahoraba ~heartful days~ .


Sad episode in Mahoraba style. The focus now are the Kurosaki, Asami and Sayoko, and their poor life where it's always to the red line in their expense. So... both are quite used to living poor, especially Asami who's always bright and cheerful.

To help them making it in their deadline of making artificial flower, Momono-san dragged Shiratori to help them. Umm... the rest are flowing...

They throw away Sayoko's attempts on suicide.

But Asami is a cute character, and like Ryuushi said, it isn't that bad to have a little sister like Asami.

Now perhaps getting some more hours of sleep. It's new year and I'm still damn sleepy. ~_~

Starship Operators eps 05 & 06 : Great Escape

Posted by reim at 11:01 AM on February 10, 2005 in Starship Operators .




In return for being welcomed, the government of planet Shuu want the crew of Amaterasu as the receptionist. Shinon refused, not knowing that she's already star in CM she never played in ^^; Media bastards.

In the mean time, Akiho and Renna went shopping in the colony. There, Renna felt something wrong with their escort.

At the time, Henrietta Kingdom suddenly declared enemy to Shuu. Same as in Kibi, a coup happened. Amaterasu's main bridge crews is still down on Shuu, leaving the two vice captain and the fire control bridge crews to prepare for their next move.

Renna revealed herself to Akiho as spy of Kibi intelligence. Both proceed to escape, while Shinon and the rest also got the information from Galactic Network producer about the coup. The other three, Cisca, Rio and the prime minister is still in the protection of the government.

Because Dita want to take more reports, they asked a lift up from Amaterasu, Shinto come and pick them at an opening beyond the city. While Akiho and Renna will go through space walk.
In that time, Renna got shot already and she really want to go back, and at least say she's sorry to Shinon for not telling about her profession.

While Shinon, the tactician, and Aley the comando shut down the electricity to aid Shinto's landing, Miyuri and Dita went ahead to prepare the landing point. They do it Die Hard 2 style, burn track of jet fuel as the landing track light.

Rio and Cisca got into deeper relationship, while the leader of both country seem to show how those politician could involve in talks for hours about one single thing. ^^; But someone from the Kingdom's Shuu's fleet, captain of the defence craft Shen Long tell the president something. If the Kingdom's ship engaged with Shen Long, then there's a chance for Amaterasu to get out of Shuu's area.

Thinking about it, I think I remember who that staff in the Kingdom's battleship that sounds annoying sounds like. Schyte Master from Phantom ?

*sigh*
Never manage to pick up good scene to catch in this title -_- The language in this one is difficult also, I think I made lots of mistake in the summary.

Next episode, Stardust Memories is also a two part story.

Jinki:Extend eps 06 : Kuro no Sousha

Posted by reim at 01:17 PM on February 11, 2005 in Jinki: Extend .

Jinki Ao




First, how is Kouse's life before she became pilot for Toujya and met Aoba ? He thought he had someone that care for him, so he tried to learn and be the best pilot, so he can get a warm hug. The truth, that person is Tsuzaki-mama and the apartment room he's living in is actually a contained room in a lab where all his activity is monitored.

Moribito is damaged, but for a while, enemy won't came. Minami is acting stupid in front of Rui again and annoys her, talking loudly and proudly about how she'd like to be close to Genta too. During the battle, she caught him with that girl he saved during the swordfight, who Minami called Akana.

In the next fight, Aoba manage to calm down Kouse, Grenadier style, giving him a warm hug ^^; But her mother, who don't like how things turns into, shot him and show how strong her lung is by having that distanced dialogue without any loudspeaker device. Well, actuallt the same for Aoba.

With Shizuka is Kokushou, the person that Genta fought earlier.

Jinki Aka

Satsuki is getting better and can go to school. There, she explained to Akao why she want to pilot Moribito, because it's the robot that her brother made. And whether to fight or not, if they don't fight, then the town will be in worse condition.

Negima eps 06 : A fronte precipitium a tergo lupi

Posted by reim at 01:51 PM on February 11, 2005 in Mahou Sensei Negima .

Loli vampire :D

or, the Vampire arc part 1.

With the story about vampire in Sakura-doori, Makie is found. Ako panicked and said that Makie is becoming victim of vampire ( although her condition looks more like victim of Sadako ).

Makie is fine, she just fell asleep on the road, but Negi felt magical power and decided to protect his students. So it won't involve others, he try to hide it from Asuna.

The vampire is Evangeline. At first, Negi thought that she's not so strong because Eva kept on using potions instead of spells. But when she told him to try and use his strongest spell, Chachamaru disturbs him. The reason for Minister Magi is to protect the Magister Magi when they're casting spell. Or as Eva said inthe Kyoto arc, sorcerers are like powerful magic cannon, they need time to cast, but when it's done, they finish it with an attack.

Eva wants Negi's blood the most, because his father cursed her to study in Japan with the other students and can't get out of the Mahora school. But in the right time, Asuna kicked her, unaffected by the magic barrier Eva made and hurt, Eva can't even speak right ( Chachamaru translates her words ) let alone casting spell, so she retreated.

Negi is still down though, he felt guilty for being the reason of the vampire incident, so he think about going back to Wales. But instead, he crashed toa tree, lost his staff and alone in the forest.

Like the BGM in this episode, the instrument sounds like gamelan, which at least for me, reminds about story about the looks-haunted Javanese literature campus in UI after sunset ^^;
The other BGMs aren't bad also, especially the one when Evangeline showed herself.

Want to add. Agree withe the talk at Matthew's place. Eva's dress in this episode is a lot better than the very S&M looking in the manga. Maybe not skin-tight leather, but still she'd look perfect with a whip there.

Rozen Maiden drama CD Tantei / Detektiv

Posted by reim at 09:42 PM on February 13, 2005 in Rozen Maiden .

Original drama CD from the anime's story, means seiyuu from the anime. Still prefers Noto Mamiko as Suigintou.

As the title said, it's related to Tantei Kunkun, and damn hillarious. The drama CD consisted of 12 tracks.

  1. Prologue
  2. Opening theme 「禁じられた
  3. 「誘拐」Entfuhrung ( kidnapping )
  4. 「捜査」Ermittlung ( investigation )
  5. 「真相」Wahrheit ( truth )
  6. 「覚醒」Erwachen ( awakening )
  7. Ending theme 「透明シェルター」
  8. 「人間」Mensch ~真紅~ ( human )
  9. 「夢日記」Traum Tagebuch ~雛苺~ ( dream diary )
  10. 「雨」Regen ~翠星石~ ( Rain )
  11. 「観察」Beobachtung ~蒼星石~ ( observation )
  12. 「舞踏会」Ball ~水銀燈~ ( ball )

The story starts with a usual day watching Tantei Kunkun on TV. Suddenly, they realized that Kunkun's doll is gone. So Shinku starts a meeting to find Kunkun. Heavily influenced by the show they've just watch, they made the conclusion that Kunkun is stolen. They starts from the living room and literally not leaving any sofa unturned.

Luckily, Souseiseki realized and tell them not to do that, because it will ruin the clues also. So a more systematic search is started, they look everywhere and found no clue of Kunkun's kidnapping. That leaves one place unchecked, Suigintou's junk city.

In her world, Suigintou is again with her twisted hobby, planning something to torture the dolls and made them junk. She's surprised that Shinku and the others came for a visit. They checked everywhere looking for Kunkun, but can't find him. So before Suigintou even understand what the hell is happening, Shinku left.
And her repeating that Nani yo ? Nani yo ? Nani yo ? Nani yo ? Nani yo ? Nani yo ? Nani yo ? Nani yo ? somehow gave the mental image of Gundam Seed's Lacus is psycho mode ^^;

Suigintou is really... kawaisou ^^;
They found a black feather in the crime scene, and who else has black wing that want to give grief to them ? Suigintou. Immedieatly the dolls attacked her, demanding the still depressed and like making circle in the corner Suigintou to hand over Kunkun. The fact is, Suigintou doesn't even know who's Kunkun.

The criminal then showed up, a crow. The dolls ignored Suigintou, even probably stepped over her several times. Finally they found the crow and all the things it stole to make a warm nest for it's children.

After the ending, there's extra story, monologue of the dolls when writing their diary. I'm not really interested in Shinku's diary. But Hina's diary showed her good side. Although she's still a child among the dolls, she's the one that tried her best to grow up and be a great lady.
Suiseiseki ? あいつはただのいじめっ子だ, she's just someone that likes to bully others, especially Hina. And she's really pissed off that everyone seem to against her only fun, even her one and only twin sister. And she don't like it that even Hina said that how she likes to play pranks on others showed that she's childish.

Souseiseki, she's my fave in anime version ( Suigintou in manga version ). Her voice, and character showed that she's really caring to others. It's like she's usually sitting at the side and observing everyone, giving them attention even without they realizing it.

According to Suigintou's monologue, seems like the quality of each dolls is : Shinku is wise, Hina is her youth ( not sure ), Souseiseki is intelligent and Suiseiseki is sublime. BTW, seems like Kunkun's doll pheromone works on Suigintou also.

Mahoroba eps 06 : Tama Check

Posted by reim at 02:25 PM on February 15, 2005 in Mahoraba ~heartful days~ .





Using the previously taken portraits, Tamami blackmailed the already tired Shiratori to accompany her and take forgotten thing in her school, an all girl school. Along the way, Tamami checked Shiratori, his physical measuring and if he had any girlfriend. Adding in, she made her usual comment that gave people uneasy feeling upon hearing that Shiratori usually go to an all boy school.

At the school, Tama nearly made Shiratori killed by the girls from Japanese Archery club, saying that he's a hentai. Apparently, Tama don't like Shiratori being nice to anyone. Then, they meet the person that Tama is weak against, the leader of Occult Research club she's in. What kind of person can the puchi-Shirogane-sensei is weak against ? A satanist otaku that has a terrible verbal-masochist personality. Her seiyuu is... Itou Shizuka ? ^^; But cool voice, had to admit it XD

The thing that Tama forgoten, a bonsai given by the principal because she understand the beauty of the tree. And it's so heavy, so Tama asked Shiratori to bring it for her.

Back at home, at the(ir) bathroom, Shiratori and Tama had a talk about Shiratori's keep helping everyone around him. Tama asked if he want to quit, but Shiratori want to do it, because it's also his memories.

Umm... they introduced Buchou already. In the manga she came after Natsume ( Kozue #5 ) appeared. Also, the talk about Shiratori who likes to help peoples is actually on their way back home, and by then also Shiratori knows that Tama can pick up that heavy bonsai pot with one hand easily. But the anime also showed what happened to Shiratori earlier in the morning.

Yay for the verbal masochist occult maniac buchou ! XD

So far, read the manga up to book 3 ( or two, don't really remember. Got to do it quick, still got up to book 8 waiting ^^;

Jinki:Extend eps 07 : Yabou no Hate

Posted by reim at 02:30 PM on February 18, 2005 in Jinki: Extend .

So this is how they'll cope with the rushed story in the blue part, more of the red part.

Jinki Ao

Aoba fought with the other Jinki, hating her mother, at least she want to. She doesn't understand why she should be born by Shizuka, she just want to be usual girl who likes PlaMo. Same with her mother, she also don't want to accept that Aoba is born, because the Aoba she know died inside her fourteen years ago, and the one standing before her is an apostle of the new century ( or something like that, CMIIW ).

Akao don't want to hate her and want to call her mother. Tsuzaki-mama seems like sick hearing that.

Jinki Aka



Akao, who has no memory of her past had a nightmare about Satsuki and Moribito. Another her ( Akana ) stopped Akao from running to Satsuki.
Then everything goes as usual. The sky is dark, Satsuki prepare the breakfast, Minami dropped her misoshiru, Elny and Rui decide who got a meal using jan-ken-pon.

A news came in the TV, London is being attacked by Lost Life. Shiva saw the news when returning to her apartment also, and called her friend, Caris, giving her a job he'll enjoy, capturing Satsuki.

Minami still trying to persuade Akao to accept that Alpha ( and probably be a Jinki pilot ), she even make it as clean as a mirror, giving not so convincing advertisement. Alpha can attracts boys, and Rui showed that it can be used to boil water. With a sudden attack, they now know Akao's power using Alpha, power to protect, shown by the barrier protecting her from the Alpha Minami thrown.
Using that also she destroyed Caris' Jinki in a blow.

Satsuki looks stronger in the anime version. It took really long in the manga until she can stand on her own not too much relying on her brother. But here, she fights Caris alone, maybe because the producer think that they can't put rape scene in TV broadcast.

Akao also. Don't really like the rushed feel how she suddenly changed from not wanting to pilot to eager to do it herself. Also, victory in her first fight. Compared to the time that she's defeated by Valkus in the manga and later, she proof herself worthy to say that she's saying the words of the victors.

PS: cooking Shiva sounds like an evil witch preparing to boil kids for dinner.

Mahou Sensei Negima eps 07 : Fallaces sunt rerum species

Posted by reim at 08:39 PM on February 19, 2005 in Mahou Sensei Negima .

Akamatsu-sensei why don't you make Negi a girl ? he's so cute XD


Current status

In the forest, Negi met Kaede, who's doing secret training of what she can't tell ( nin nin ). After a day of training, looking for lunch and dinner, both they had a hot bath in a drum. Negi see that Kaede is fourteen and yet she tried her best in training, while he himself already think of running away. But Kaede told her, he's only ten, and it's just normal that he'll sometime fail or get lost, that time it's fine to runaway. Everytime Negi felt like getting away, he can at least go to the mountain and have an ofuro together.

Back at Mahora, Negi made a pactio with Asuna, then targets Chachamaru who's alone. But they found out that she's a nice person robot. Amazingly, since class 2-A is allready together for long time, nobody ( except probably Eva, Chisame and Hakase ) realized that Chachamaru is a robot. She helped peoples in the town, care for the cats, and everybody in town loves her. So Negi himself is actually hesitating to fight her, because she's not a bad person after all.

When they actually fights Chachamaru, Negi's side is already winning, but he thought of his students, not only Nodoka and Makie, but also Chachamaru. So he can't harm his own student and let Chachamaru away.

Next episode, there'll be the adult version of Eva.

Mahoraba eps 07 : Kakurenbo

Posted by reim at 12:16 PM on February 23, 2005 in Mahoraba ~heartful days~ .

Mahoraba eps 07 : Kakurenbo




We know so far what kind of hellish heavenly life Shiratori is having in Narutaki-sou. And when he got home after stopping at the wrong train station, everyone is having an Ousama Ken contest. This time, it's hide-and-seek. The winner of the game would get an Ousama Ken from Momono-san. Tama's comment :

The rule, the Oni will have to find everyone in an hour, and if there's even one person is left, the Oni lose. As usual, the worst role is given to Shiratori. If he lose, he know what kind of fate will fall upon him ( and easy for others to guess what he's thinking ) so he want the ticket to ask for peace. There are three rules he made.

  1. Those already found can't move and hide again.
  2. Those already found may not interfere with his search.
  3. Those hiding in their room may not lock the door.

And the search begun after five minutes.

(Search progress)

And the victor is, Aoba Kozue. To celebrate, everyone will party in Shiratori's room. Aoba then asked Shiratori to go shopping with her on sunday.

This episode, I liked the digital text and online map display what Shiratori is looking. So that means, the next episode there'll be Saki-chan again ! ^^

Buchou !

Starship Operators eps 07 & 08 : Stardust Memory

Posted by reim at 10:41 PM on February 24, 2005 in Starship Operators .

After the procession of Renna's funeral, the battle will begin. I don't quite understand the talk in Kingdom's meeting, but the odd is two against four, Shuu against Kingdom.

Other thing that become the defending side's problem is Shinon, she's troubled by Renna's death. At the same time, she had to think of tactics to fight against the enemy in such situation. Even so, she refused to admit that Renna's death troubled her.
To help her think, she play a war simulation against Cisca, taking the Kingdom's side. He won easy.

Another thing happened in the Kingdom's side. All of the captains, except Dulle Elroy, captain of Conquistador, the battleship in that fleet is thinking different. He suggest that all should go and destroy Amaterasu as the main priority, three against one if possible.

But after he offered that his craft, the Conquistador can go and win a one on one battle against Shuu's defence ship, Shen Long, the other commander took it that they can play around with Amaterasu.

That sounds good, until that big player behind Amaterasu came in consideration. Ginga Net will broadcast the battle, and Kingdom can't afford being aired killing one Amaterasu with three crafts, so they return to the previous tactics, two against one.

In Amaterasu, Shinon keeps fighting a losing war against Cisca. He can use the same strategy again and again against Shinon, and then win. Then finally, after ticking some more calculations, Shinon found a plan. She presented the simulation to the commander of Shen Long, her unorthodox battle plan, with very cute sprite for Amaterasu ^^ And with great confidence, she told them that the plan will surely works, because they're learning it from real battles.

(Battle)

My guess is right ! Well... just made it last saturday tho'. Who wrote the whole scenario ? The only staff left in Amaterasu, Yuuki Shimei. He planned the whole thing that's being run by Rio and Cisca.

Overall, and this whole battle is still continuing ! Can't wait for the battle against those three ships, although they'll probably just finish Dragonfly and went away without engaging against Conquistador.
But this one alone is already my fave battle scene for now. Even the lost of Shen Long is touching, but probably because I just sucks at those kind of honourable death.

Daijoubu, Takai-kun wa makeru hazu ga nai.

Ai no chikara ne, Sanri ^^

Jinki:Extend eps 08 : Ginyoku no Raihousha

Posted by reim at 10:17 PM on February 27, 2005 in Jinki: Extend .

Being behind the schedule here.
Only Akao's story this time.


The new girl welcoming party begin for Akao, just like what happene with Aoba in Venezuela before. Stamina training, mechanic training, and paper test. Aoba got the first one only it seems, she learned the others by herself. But Akao passed, leaving the piloting training.

Satsuki seem to found a new person to adore after her brother, Akao. She mentioned that Akao seems to change, becoming stronger.

Akao did well in the battle training, Ryouhei also said that it's as if she's born to become a pilot for Jinki.
Then she saw her image again, telling her that she shouldn't fight. Because of that vision, she didn't pay much attention to the battle and got knocked down by Elny, easily. Shiva is not happy, she want Akao to become the true pilot.

So, another plan. She sent one of the Hachishou, Jeihan ( or J Hun ? ) to battle, to defeat Nana Two and Blocken. That would force Akao to fight. Sadly ( for Shiva ) another Jinki came. The white Jinki is Schneiger, and the pilot, Mel J Vannet, or J Hun called her Michelle E Hun.

Who's Mel J ? According to Elny, she's a bad person, because Mel stole Schneiger from Elny. But that's personal. Schneiger is the Jinki that Elny made, she loved Jinki so much, Rui called her a hentai ^^;

Aaakh ! That kid is her brother ?!

Back... Akao read the file about Mel, and that made Mel angry to her. Actually, Akao is envious, because she had no memory about the past. But Mel want to be like that, rather than living painful memories of the past, she'd like to live without that past. They does get along well soon.
