Anime Music Videos

Hello minna! Here's another update of my blog! Aheheh! I proudly present to you my personal fave of AMV's! Nyahahaha! Oh, if ur wondering how I was able to come across this, well the main culprit would be my "escapism" mode! Teehee! I've looked and watched them to death when I was feeling depressed coz my mom will be away for a week to attend my grandpa's funeral. So, that was my main motivation? Nyehehehe! Nah, it's like my cheer-me-up escapism. Heheheh!

Here they are in my fave order. Pick one if you like! Btw, the featured vids are not mine. So, I give credit to their respective owners.

Far Away: Chihiro x Haku

Waaa! This AMV is bittersweet! Not to mention the song as well! Just perfect! I've seen this AMV two years ago while my twin and I were browsing around Youtube to catch a glimpse of Spirited Away! But we've managed to watch the movie though! Ahehehe! I was tearful while watching this coz it has my fave scenes from the movie! Uwaaaa! *sniffles* Like when Haku hug Chihiro, then Chihiro helped Haku when he was badly injured, and when the two of them where falling from the sky then Haku remembered who he was! It was really touching! Then, when they parted company when Chihiru managed to return to her home then Haku said don't look back! Waaaa! It was really heart breaking! How I wish they became a couple in the end, neh?

Undress Me: Sakujun x Shuurei

This is also one of my faves ever! I also cried when I first watched this! Hmmm.. Why am I so emotional when I watched something that I love? Aheheheh. Guilty of being a sentimentalist! Teehee! Among the bishies of Sainkoku Monogatari, I really heart Sa Sakujun. I love him coz he's very intriguing and mesmerizing! Kyaaaa! Just thinking about him gives me goosebumps! Nyahahah!

Anyways, love their romantic scenes with Shuurei! I know some of you opposes to my taste but.. Nah, just mind your own business! Nyeheheh! I just love this AMV coz it was beautifully done. I was also devastated that he had to die in the middle of the series! Uwaaa! Why!? Why did it has to end like this! *cries dramatically* Ahehehe.. Sorry, getting carried away here. Plus, the song really fits it well! I mean, its like the lyrics were made for this AMV, right? Ahehehe! Wicked! *thumbs up*

Only Hope: Mattia x Remi

Lo-lo-lurve this as well! I'm a great fun of Remi Nobody's Girl. At first, I didn't know that she will have a love interest in the middle part of the story! I was just thinking that she'll just travel in search of her true identity then encounter different adventures along the way. But having a love interest was an added bonus! It just made me go gaga with this anime! Nyahahah!

My twin came across this at Youtube. We thought we wouldn't find any coz Remi was a classic anime. But thank goodness someone made an AMV about the two of them! *dances around* What I like about their pairing would be the infinite purity and sweetness of their love. I also admire Mattia's love and devotion towards Remi coz he did helped her a lot like finding her real family and rescuing her from the kidnappers. At first, I thought he'll not fell for her coz his very formal and keeps most to himself. So, I was really overjoyed that he has serious feelings towards Remi! *sigh*

Hagi x Saya

The main title of this AMV is Hagi's Song to Saya. I just changed it to fit the format of the former AMVs. Aheheheh. I love this coz it features my beloved Hagi! *faints* Love his myterious yet charismatic persona! *droolz* I am also a certified Hagi and Saya fan! What draws me to this video was the nice scenes from the series and the song as well. Though, I dunno what's the title! Ahehehe!

Sora: Van x Hitomi

The Vision of Escaflowne holds a very special place in my heart. The last time I've seen this was when I was still in my primary years. I love it so much that I always watched this in our local TV station. Sad to say I wasn't able to see its ending until just a few weeks ago. I was quite sad coz Hitomi and Van did not end up together. *sigh* But anyways, what I also love about this AMV was Shanty Snider's song "Sora". It's really sweet, poignant and heavenly.

Escaping, But Not Far - Anime Boston 2008 Death Note AMV

Last but not least would be this Death Note AMV. My twin recommended it to me. I find it cool most esp. the music. This AMV won first place in the Anime Boston Convention:Drama Category. So, even though I wasn't able to watch Death Note (yet) I like this AMV. Though, I'm sorry for the poor copy but at least it's worth watching. Pwamise! *winks*

Summer Anime Marathon II

Let's get started!!! *drum rolls*

Ouran High School

Believe it or not this was my very first anime that I've bought! Aheheheh.. Well, at that time I was in the mood for watching wacky but romantic animes! Nyahahah! What I love about this is that it kept me laughing every time I watched this! Every single episode never bores me. I love the bishies most esp. Toma and Kyouya! And of course the heroine of the story, Haruhi! But alas! Every good time must come to an end. I was shocked when I've discovered that half of its eps were corrupted. It started at ep.11 (the part where the gang visited Haruhi's home and they met her cosplaying dad!!!) till ep. 20! See? I've missed half the part! I really cried when I've realized I'll never be able to see it all! Really, I did cry! I'm not kidding! Nyeheheh! So, I have no choice but to return it where I've bought it. Then, my twin replaced it with...

La Corda De Oro (Primo Passo)

At first I was hesitant upon watching it. I mean its like I'm seeing the word 'boring ' written all over the cover! Nyahahah! I know it was pretty mean of me! But as the old saying goes 'never judge a book by its cover'. Ahehehehh. Then, when I started watching it I've just realized how beautiful the anime is. Esp. the music, how the bishies are drawn magnificently *sigh* and the plot of the story. The anime also taught me that as long as we know what we want and work hard on it by pouring our whole heart and soul then we can make it even though the road ahead is vague and unsettling. My fave bishie would be Yunoki coz I can relate to his character very well. As for my fave ep it would be the 'Summer Encore'! Kyaaaaa! Really love Yunoki's part together with Kaho! Kyaaaaa!

Special A

Hmmm.. Watching Special A was also surprisignly good. Coz when I've started watching it I was thinking that it was kinda lame and 'corny'. Aheheheh.. I'm kind of a pessimist, right? Ahehehe.. Anyways, as the story progresses I find it already entertaining and fun to watch. Most esp. the love teams! Nyahahah! I love Megumi and Saiga! Kyaaa! I never expected that it would turn out differently in the end! Esp. wherein they had a date then Megumi sang a song to him! Kyaaa! *faints*

Tsubasa Chronicles

As for this anime I haven't finished watching it yet. Aheheheh. But it was also surprisingly good! As for the moment, I love the music and the effects the anime has. CLAMP works are really world class! Aheheheh! Well, if I'll finish this one I'll just add a few notes soon. Aheheheh.

Blood +

Last but not least, would be my one of my fave animes ever! I've laughed and cried while watching this. I've seen this in our local TV station. I was surprised that it had been around for quite a while now. I didn't even realized it. Ahehehe. *scratches head* Anyways, upon seeing it on TV I was quite intrigue what the story is all about and who are the characters in the story. So, I decided to watch a couple of eps coz I wasn't able to see the whole series. Then, I also googled it and I've read a lot of spoilers at wiki. Ahehehe. So, it was not really heart wrenching when Riku was raped and killed by Diva. But if I didn't expect that, I would have cried myself to death! Nyeheheh. That was too much. However, Blood + really got to me. I was crying when Moses and Karman died, it hurts to think that Solomon had to die as well, Saya and Haji got separated during the chaos at the Opera House and the ending as well wherein Saya had to sleep for a long time. Thus, after 30 yrs. Kei is already old then her 'lil nieces are all grown up. Aheheheh. Just visualizign the future. Nyahahah! So, she'd missed 30 yrs. of her life because of her fate. Personally, that's kinda hard don't you think so?

Another plus factor with this anime would be the love story between Saya and Haji. Ah, not to mention Solomon and Kei's unrequiuted love. Kyaaaa! Love these three bishies! I love Haji coz he's hot! Nyahahah! Love Solomon coz he's handsome! Love Kei coz he's brave and strong! Wish my future hubbie would possesed their qualities! Hahahaha! That's just too idealistic! Nyahahahah!

Alright! Thank u for reading my newest post! See u again soon!

Summer Anime Marathon

Hello everyone.. As for my latest post I'll be posting the latest animes that I've watched over the summer. I'll also try to give my personal comments on each one of these animes. Aheheheh.

Alright, first things first.. To tell you the truth it has been a long time since I've watched an anime and end its series. Coz I was thinking what if I'll just get bored watching it along the way? I mean that would have been a waste of time and effort. But thank goodness I was able to discover and feel once again the warm and tender feelings I've felt when I was still a child. Like watching Sailor Moon, Fushigi Yuugi, Ghost Fighter, Cardcaptor Sakura, Magic Knight Rayearth, Slam Dunk, Flame of Recca, Inuyasha and among others. So, I have decided to preserve that kind of feeling. Ahehehe..

For starters, the main reason why I got back from watching animes would be because of "escapism".. Coz I would like to get away from the stress and anxiety my twin and I had experienced when our mom was away for a week coz she went to her hometown attending our grandpa's funeral. We couldn't come coz we have our nephew with us so it's kinda hard. Anyways, so starting there the rest is history. Watching awesome animes brought back a lot of good feelings. Ahehehe.. I dunno why I felt that way. Hmmm.. Maybe because its already part of me.. Esp. part of who and what I am. My interest, passion and happiness!

Hmmm.. I think this post got longer than I've expected. Well, got to make a sequel instead, neh? *winks* Nyahahahah!
