Not a Heartbreaking Romance After All

2008-04-07T10:40:00.001-07:00

Hatenkou Yugi ends in episode ten. At least the first season does because the tenth episode basically leaves us with more mysteries. Like, who the heck is the guy with red hair? So there’s a high possibility of it having a second season. Well, currently, there isn’t any news of it having one, but I’ll have my hopes up. I hope, from the bottom of my heart, Hatenkou Yugi’s going to have another season. OVA’s should also be fine, but it comes out about once a month or something, too long to wait, not that Hatenkou’s not worth waiting anyway, because IT IS worth waiting.

Actually, from the opening theme, with the words “Heartbreaking Romance… lalala *humming tune*” I thought it’s going to have a sad ending, but I’m very very very delighted that it ends well (the first season that is). There are a lot of lovely scenes that shows just how much Alzeid cares for Rahzel. ^__^

Let’s elaborate the beautiful events shall we? (I always love elaborating these types of things… KYAAAAA!!) All righty… First, on the first parts—skip the guy with the red hair, I’m quite sure we’ll get to find out more about him WHEN the second season comes (Please please please come second season dearest). Ok, first, on Rahzel’s birthday celebration. It’s already known that Alzeid’s not the type of person who fancies celebrations or special occasions. I reckon he doesn’t care one bit about things like those, but BUT BUT… When they were celebrating Rahzel’s birthday (which he had no clue on at first by the way), he was very very curious and he took the effort to ask them what the occasion was. He even had a hard time comprehending what they were saying. Like at first, he asked what the occasion is, and then Rahzel’s dad answered, a birthday, and then Alzeid asked whose birthday it was, and then Heat replied “Rahzel-chan’s” and then Alzeid asked again, WHEN, and then they answered that it was today, and then HE BLUSHED!!! KYAAAA so cute! He said he didn’t know that it was her birthday, then Rahzel told him it was because he didn’t ask. And then after, Rahzel and Heat were talking about him, something like “it’s hard to relate Al with presents” and “It’s even dicey he knows about birthdays” He then told them that he’ll overcome that trial and will get Rahzel a birthday present. He is so cute! Like a little kid. :D I know by a hundred percent he wouldn’t do that sort of stuff to other people, just to Rahzel, because because because… heeeheee, we all know he likes her KYAAAA!!

It’s also evident that Rahzel’s dad, Seratildo, who happens to be Heat’s older brother doesn’t like Alzeid so much, I mean, just checking on the way he talks to him, it’s waaaaay obvious that he hates him. Possible reason? He knows that he (Alzeid) likes his daughter and that his daughter likes him back. I suppose it was the main reason why he wanted Alzeid to come with Solesta so he wouldn’t bother Rahzel or in other words, the two wouldn’t fall in love or the two (Rahzel and Alzeid) wouldn’t realize just how much they like/love each other. It’s probably what he meant by ‘his selfishness’ he doesn’t want another man to take his daughter away from him.

We can also see in Alzeid’s face that the thought of Rahzel leaving pains him. He was looking quite down and he HATES Rahzel’s dad. He’s definitely not the type of person who sucks up to those people dear to the one he loves. As a matter of fact, he considers Seratildo a rival, and that’s most likely the main reason why he despises the man so much. Haha, this isn’t something we see everyday. Most of the time the guy would try to get close to the girl’s father so they’d favor them, but Alzeid is just not the type of guy. It makes you adore him more, he is sooooo CUTE! Well, it turns out that the two guys feels the same way, Seratildo sees Alzeid as a rival and Alzeid thinks of him that way too. I just can’t wait to see how the two would acknowledge each other when Alzeid and Rahzel gets married and her father would find ways to annoy Alzeid. That’ll be entertaining, I’m sure.

One of the cutest parts of the tenth episode (Personal Opinion) is when Alzeid was picking a gift for Rahzel. Inside the store, he told the shop keeper something like “On the honor of my pride, I have to choose the most amazing present” His pride according to my interpretation would be being the number one in Rahzel’s heart. I’ve already mentioned that I think, he sees Seratildo as a rival and I suppose he also sees Heat as one, so since the two other guys already bought Rahzel presents, he wants to beat them up in the present thingy, to be number one in Rahzel’s heart (haha, gomen, messy I know… but just please understand what I’m trying to express). Also, when asked by the shopkeeper on what type of gift he’d like to find, he answered “Something Breathtaking” along with the proud, handsome and adorable look on his face. He most definitely wants to swipe Rahzel off her feet. KYAAAAAA!! (Ok, please excuse my KYAAA’s I cannot stop myself when it comes to stuffs like these) PLUS he said something like “Something that, whenever she looks at it, even if we are apart, will make her remember me” KYAAAAAAAAAAA!! *fans myself* Just how sweet is that!? It’s not too mushy, but it’s very very sweet, I just LOVE Alzeid! I mean seriously, he took the effort and I mean great effort of finding a perfect gift for Rahzel-chan, he even interrogated the other customer who entered which was actually Rahzel’s real father, the one who abandoned her, but he didn’t know that. Anyways, he took great measures to find the most amazing present for our heroine and that means a lot, especially to a guy like Alzeid who is branded cold and unfeeling (apparently, that description doesn’t apply when it comes to Rahzel). Oh yeah, one funny scene was when he asked the shopkeeper if the sheep (alive and moving) was for sale, and then the shopkeeper told him that it is the other shop’s billboard sheep Seratilko. And Alzeid commented that the sheep has an annoying name. Why? Because it’s close to Rahzel’s father’s name Seratildo. He is so cute. :D

Well, what happened was, he realized that HE CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT RAHZEL and he ends up running as fast as he could. He chased the train which Rahzel boarded, and Rahzel, while inside the running train, felt that Alzeid was chasing her went to the back of the train (I don’t know the proper term to use for that particular area) and Alzeid gave one of the most beautiful speeches ever! Haha I know it pretty much sounded selfish, saying stuffs like he wouldn’t let anyone who isn’t beside him to reside in his heart thingy. But we all know what that means… the translation: “I don’t want you to leave me” or “Don’t leave me”. KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! *fans myself once more* And then, it shows up! One of the best scenes in the anime and probably one of the best un-cheesy much boy and girl runs towards one another scenes. Rahzel jumps off the train, scolding Alzeid and Alzeid saying “Idiot!” or “Baka!” because the girl just jumps off. It was because he’s worried, the last thing he wants is having her hurt! :D And then, he moves to catch her… HAHA!!! KYAAAAAA!! They had another short talk after and then Rahzel’s dad shows up. Alzeid then tells Rahzel that for his present, he will give her another chance and told her to stand up against her father. HAHA!! I just love him. And then Rahzel tells him that she’ll accept the challenge, and poses the same pose she did on the first episode, the gun stuff.

So I suppose it’s safe to assume that Rahzel’s going to continue the adventure with Alzeid and Heat. She’ll probably ask for her father’s permission. Her father seems stubborn so it might take some effort, but I think he’d allow her to go with the two guys. He loves his daughter after all. As for the guy with red hair, I suppose he can also use magic. Probably someone Rahzel knew before, perhaps a close friend or a rival, or both. With the flow of the series, it isn’t impossible for unique friendships like those. Anyways, I think there’ll be another season of Hatenkou Yugi (I hope there’ll be another season) because, the tenth episode left us hanging, and there is this new character introduced. But as I’ve said, there isn’t any news regarding the matter, but I do hope there’ll be a second season. Please oh please let there be a second season… :D

Hatenkou Yugi is totally going to be on my all time faves list. Definitely an anime that’s worth watching, haha! I’ve seen it twice, and it’s really very nice. :D

Second season please come…. :D

My Thoughts Exactly regarding Ergo Proxy

2008-04-05T02:10:00.000-07:00

Lately, I’ve been watching Ergo Proxy. At first I had no clue as to what the anime’s all about. I haven’t read any synopsis for it either (at least I can’t remember reading any of them). Well, Reich recommended the anime and provided me the material so I tried it out. At first I thought it was weird and well, boring since there’s nothing much going on the first episode. There isn’t a lot of action, no humor, plots too vague (seriously, I didn’t get to understand the plot and the things the characters are talking about until the later episodes, haha maybe it’s just me ^_^), the main character’s well… as what Lil described him, boring face, and it made me think--some boring personality perhaps, so I got pretty sleepy at the start of the show. I thought of dropping it, but my friend said that Vincent Law gets better looking on the third episode, haha well I believe it’s something worth wa tching so I continued the anime and now I’m glad I did.

I started getting into the anime the moment I saw Pino, the little infected autoreiv. She’s so cute and I just love her. It’s good the creators decided to have her in the show. She’s my favorite character in the anime by the way. Ok, I’ve only seen half of the whole series (I will be watching the rest later) and so far so good. I get to understand a lot of things and the show gets more interesting after every episode.

Quick briefing… Ergo Proxy’s plot happens on a futuristic scenario. The world seems to have crumbled and people can only live securely on places called domes. The world outside the dome is actually very dirty, erm… it’s not very good. The story revolves around the character Vincent Law, he looks very very very lame at first, but he gets to look better on the later parts, episode three to be exact. Well not really very good looking, but much better than his first appearance. Anyways, along with him is the Administrator’s granddaughter, Lil Mayer (I love her eye shadow). What the two of them have in common or how the two of them are related is not known until the later episodes where Daedelaus referred to the proxy as Lil.

Proxies, as I can recall, are creatures that are far greater than human beings. They aren’t mechanical like the entourages or the autoreivs but they are considered immortal and terrifyingly strong. Since they live way way longer than humans can, it is all right to assume that they are also much more knowledgeable.

Later on it is revealed that Proxies can also take the form of human beings and that the main character, Vincent Law is actually a proxy called Ergo Proxy—the proxy of death. I haven’t typed it in yet, but there are different types of Proxies, Vincent managed to meet two, although he lost his memory which was his decision, as explained by the Proxy of Knowledge whom he killed btw. Actually, there was something yaoi-ish on that scene. You see, the guy who was the Proxy of Knowledge’s lover Senekisu or something anyways she was the Proxy of Moonlight (or he), all right, it was mentioned that proxies don’t have gender so, not entirely yaoi, but since Vincent takes the form of a human guy and the Proxy of Knowledge also takes the form of a human guy, it’s more or less yaoi. So I take the side of yaoi (yeah, my writings totally messed up). I love the scene wherein the blondie (Knowledge Proxy) said that he could love Vince and attempted to kiss his hand, I was almost almost going to scream KYAAAA! Until Vincent took his hand away and said that he doesn’t remember anything. Honestly, I would have preferred the guy and Vincent over Lil and Vincent if Vincent haven’t killed the guy, but since he did and the story seems to point out (Just my speculation actually, I’ll know if I hit the bulls eye after I finish the show) that Lil is the other proxy who helped Ergo Proxy loose all his memories. The Knowledge Proxy said that the proxy’s name was Mados or something, I know it starts with ‘M’, anyways, he told Vincent, that to take away all his memories, that proxy must have loved him. And if that proxy is indeed Lil, I wouldn’t say anything else to tamper their love.

The only thing about the story that disappoints me so far is WHY DO PROXIES HAVE TO KILL EACH OTHER!? It would be better--so much better if they’d join forces, build a community of some sort, they’re intelligent, they could create a great community and they can fight together to defeat those who thinks ill or plans terrible things on them. OK this is just a personal opinion, please please please don’t get angry at me. Besides, this post is made before I am able to finish the anime so I might change my opinion later.

Come to think of it, I think it’s better to finish the whole anime before making too much blabbers, me sorry… but I’ve already typed this much, so I’ll be posting this ok?

Anyways to rate the anime (just until the twelfth episode, I’ve only seen until there, but I’ll be watching more later, like probably after I finish this post(?)):

The animation is excellent!! Definitely one of the best I’ve seen so far. The plot’s sort of unclear at first, but just hang around and you’ll turn to understand it and apparently get to want more of the anime. The characters, well I’d say interesting, you know all of the characters are mysterious and when you find out something about them you get all the while more interested about their backgrounds or real face. Ergo Proxy is in my opinion a philosophical type of anime, it’s not much of an action type, as a matter of fact there aren’t many action scenes in the show. The brutality level from one to five, with five being the highest brutality rate, would be 2, there are bloodstains yes, but how those bloodstains got there isn’t shown so it’s easy to watch, no need to close your eyes for those who cannot take hard anime violence like myself. The anime sort of reminds me of Bubblegum crisis Tokyo 2040, you know, infected mechs, people assigned to eliminate the infected mechs, stuffs like that, but the story’s different of course since it focuses more on Proxy’s and the mystery behind them rather than the eradication of defective technology (anyway, just to note, the virus on autoreivs aren’t that bad, they just obtain feelings so I feel bad for them when the authority hunts them down. The virus tends to make them cuter btw, check Pino, she’s sooooooooooooooooooooooo adorable).

So for now, I’ll be watching more of it!!! :D haha!! I want to see more of Pino, and I’d like to see if some of my speculations are correct. It’s a good anime by the way, it makes you think… :D and many thanks to Reich for recommending the anime to me and for the files… Thank you so much… :D I’ll be watching more, Ja!!

Bus Gamer First Impressions

2008-04-01T06:00:00.000-07:00

I always visit three websites first when I’m on the computer, first would be my gmail and my yahoomail and then of course one of my most favorite websites in the whole wide world, the ever reliable Tokyo Toshokan. So while I was browsing Tokyotosho, checking out if there are new subbed releases of the anime shows I’m currently watching, a new anime by the title Bus Gamer caught my attention so I went to google and searched for it. It turns out to have an interesting plot. The genre’s what I usually have (adventure, mystery) so I tried it out. Haha, I’m quite sure nobody’s interested on how I’ve gotten hold of it, haha! I just didn’t know how to start this thing right, I cannot say a lot about it yet because I’ve only seen the first episode, but I think it’s pretty good… so, so… SO before anyone grabs something to throw to me (if that’s even possible) for making insensible rants at the start of this post, let me go to the main topic. :D

Well, at first I thought Bus Gamer was like Gensomaden Saiyuki or Getbackers since the way the characters are drawn are pretty much the same, but as the story moved (just the first episode ne?) I still think its characters are drawn similarly (heehee). Anyways, the plot is different of course, no demons or any power/magic-related thingy, at least as far as the first episode goes and it’s very interesting, and thus it’s now a part of my “currently watching” list.

So what is Bus Gamer? I’m quite confused myself because in the first episode, one of the char acters mentioned “Biz Gamer” for “Business Gamer” but the title is obviously “Bus Gamer” oh, I get it “Biz” short for Business and “Bus” the first three characters in the word “Business” :D. Ok I’ll stop spitting nonsense now… Bus Gamer is about these three guys namely, Nakajou Nobu, Mishiba Toki and Saitou Kazuo who joined this game called the “Biz Game” or something. The Biz Game, as explained by a high ranking guy in a company of some sort who hired the three guys I’ve mentioned, is a game among different companies, wherein they would choose a team that’s composed of three people to represent their company.

The game is between a home team, a team whose task is to protect a disk that contains information about the company and an away team, the team who charges in an attempt to steal the disk from the home team. The gamers are paid 10,000 in the first game and the amount accumulates depending on the number of games won by the team.

The disk, as mentioned has relevant company data that is very valuable to the company and its competitors. I think the main purpose of the game is to give different companies a chance to gain important confidential information regarding their rival companies. To prevent war or something tragic to happen to the company itself, they decided to make it a game wherein large stuffs are at stake, and the people inside the company’s lives are not at risk and of course, entertainment for the rich guys.

The characters in my opinion are very interesting people. They were chosen because among all the people who received and replied to the mail, the three of them were the only ones who left the question “What do you want to do with the money?” blank. Apparently, the guy who hired them found it interesting so that’s how they got there.

The three of them did not know each other before the assembly, so they had a difficult time getting along. Two of them, Nakajou Nobu and Mishiba Toki who are like the strongest of the three (Saitou Kazuo had no idea on what he got himself into and admitted that staying healthy is his only talent, so most likely he’s not good in battles, it’s seen on the first episode btw) are both against the members chosen for the team. They both think of them superior and believe that none of the other two members are worthy to team up with them. Yeah, arrogance… but I think they have the right to be, they’re good, very good, I think the both of them are equally skillful so no problems with attitude there. Kazuo is as I have elaborated, the youngest and erm weakest of the three, but he’s friendlier compared to the other two, so he might serve as the guy in the middle, preventing the two from killing themselves.

Their first meeting did not work out, their second meeting is the same, the third meeting wasn’t planned or expected but it bonded the three, it turns out that the three of them are regular customers/know of this ramen shop. It’s probably the only similarity the three of them have and luckily it formed a team. Each of them wanted 1 Billion (I’m not sure with the currency, I think it wasn’t mentioned, well it takes place in Japan so maybe it’s in Yen) The reason for their need for that much wasn’t stated yet, but Kazuo had a picture of him with a nun stored in his phone, perhaps (I’m so not sure on this) PERHAPS he’s an orphan and the nun took care of him and an event like the orphanage closing or something so needs a huge amount to restore it. Again, I’m not sure I’m only typing speculations. I’ve only seen the first episode. :D

Well, from the first episode, I’ve gotten pretty interested with Mishiba Toki, I think he’s cool and handsome too plus he’s got this cute watch with a flower design! KAWAII! :P haha. Anyways, I’ll surely be watching this anime, it’s pretty good and I believe it’s something worth watching :D

Rhazel for Alzeid

2008-03-26T22:56:00.000-07:00

I’ve just recently seen the 8^th episode of Hatenkou Yugi and finally, strong proof that Alzeid has feelings for Rhazel-chan KYAAA!! (Yeah, me back with the Kyaa’s again).

To start, please take note that unlike the ‘Saber Gilgamesh’ post I’ve made before, I hold no grudge against the other main character Hi-tan/Heat/BaroqueHeat. I like his character, he’s quite adorable and funny, just not the bishie type, but he’s all right. However, when it comes to Rhazel, without a single doubt in my head, I’d say, she’s for Alzeid.

All righty… Alzeid, as we all know is the strong, cold, tall, handsome albino guy. It’s been revealed that he’s traveling for vengeance. He’s searching for the woman who killed his father. Along the way, while he was torturing a guy, forcing him to give him his money, he met Rhazel and she, without knowing who Alzeid was at the moment, asked him to travel together and told him that she’d make his life more interesting (Very good way to start a relationship… haha hurray to Rhazel-chan).

That incident lead them to meeting Heat and to various adventures which are indeed very interesting and (haha… gomen, mushy-ness coming up) shows that Alzeid isn’t really a cold guy, well he’s a cold guy yes, but he’s capable of caring for others (Especially Rhazel). Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to her traveling with him in the first place. Actually, I think the main reason why he allowed her to accompany him is because she looks so much like the woman who killed his father (weird eh? But as the story goes, it is revealed that that woman was the one who told him about the outside world, since he couldn’t go out at first because of albinism, so the woman might have been his first friend. He can now go out under the sun without problems… well another episode spoke of sacrifice, erm… still a lot of mysteries unraveled, ah I cannot wait… WAIT!!! I’m totally going off the subject ok back).

Alzeid totally cares for Rhazel because Rhazel is a very adventurous person who tends to get lost, get herself in trouble (not that she couldn’t get herself off it though, she’s a sorceress, plus she has close strong friends, if in any case magic isn’t enough to bail her out), but Alzeid being Alzeid doesn’t seem to mind, and although he scolds her at times, he doesn’t seriously think of her as a nuisance (he calls her moronic woman or any other insults, but he doesn’t really mean that, I’m very sure :D).

They have so much in common. Say the card game of names poker or something, the one Rhazel told Heat to play with her while Alzeid is out, well more like fainted after eating a food his tongue couldn’t seem to comprehend. Rhazel explained the rules of the game to Heat and Hi-tan was having a difficult time understanding it. Well, we cannot blame him, the game is unplayable, lol, the rules are so difficult to understand, I get a headache just trying to figure it out. Well as I said, Heat was having a hard time understanding the game but when Alzeid woke up, dandandandan… it turns out that he knows the game and is an expert of it and the two of them ended up playing, with Hi-tan getting out of place :D. haha I’ve only given one common thing about them, but when you watch the series, you’ll see… there are LOTS OF THEM.

Erm… what’s this post about again? Oh, right… Well, we can see that Alzeid really cares about her on the first episode, the one with the ghost with the promise. When the ghost asked her if she minds her killing Alzeid before he betrays her, Rhazel said that there is no promise between the two of them so there is nothing to break. Then at the end of the episode, Alzeid asked her if she wants a promise… (KYAAAAA!!!)

Next is on the episode with the albino kid. The child, not being able to go out on daylight wondered what the sky looks like and then Alzeid told him that it’s like Rhazel’s eyes. The little girl then went to Rhazel and looked at her eyes and then she returned to Alzeid and told him that it’s beautiful. Then then then…. Alzeid said “Yes, very bewitching” (KYAAAA!!)

Well there are more scenes, but I’ll go to the main part now, the part where I said it’s strongly proven that he has feelings for her. (I still have a lot of things to do so I’ll speed things up). On episode 8, Baroqueheat said something about not wanting to say goodbye to Rhazel and unexpectedly, he kissed her. It was totally shocking, but what made me go KYAA! Was Alzeid’s expression when Heat kissed Rhazel. His eyes looked murderous, almost prepared to kill the other guy. (btw, Hi-tan got slapped by Rhazel after)

And then after that kiss incident, it’s probably on the next day, he barges into Rhazel’s room without knocking. It turned out that he wanted to explain Solista’s ability to her and then tells her not to use magic (Yeah right!), well I don’t believe that’s the only reason he went to her. He probably doesn’t want her pondering over the kiss between her and Hi-tan. Then, again unexpectedly, he pushes her to the bed and I know their faces weren’t that close but I’m quite sure he gestured to kiss her. But he let her go after a while and said things that looked like scolds for her having too much openings (I think he really wanted to kiss her, but he felt Heat’s presence by the window so he didn’t do it.)

After that, he asked Heat to explain about the incident that had happened yesterday, (Definitely the kiss incident). Later on, while they were discussing, Heat asked him if he’d agree with Solista’s proposal of him getting back to the military and leaving Rhazel behind. He just tells him something like “Do you really think I can leave that moronic woman alone?” then continues with things like Rhazel always getting into trouble… bla bla bla… then a statement similar to “Unlike some people, she considers me her companion” haha! (Lots of excuses… he just doesn’t want to leave Rhazel)

See? See? Haha!! He loves her, he really does…
I’ll stop here for now. Gotta go back to the things I gotta do. :D

Kanzato Ryou's Disguise

2008-03-23T00:58:00.000-07:00

Heya!! It’s been a long while since I’ve posted anything on this blog. I’ve been too preoccupied with erm… school work (yeah right). But, I was able to update my other blog. :D Gomenasai… visit it if you have time or if you love reading stories, I cannot promise excellent writing, super brilliant plots, but if you have free time, visit http://pipansfiction.blogspot.com I’d really appreciate it. :D

After a few months, I finally decided to make a heading pic for this blog. I’ll try to experiment or get to know photoshop better when I get the time so I could post a better pic. :D Let’s have that for now, featuring, HinoxLen… XD

For the past months, I’ve been hooked to watching this good anime. I mean great anime that was based on a game, Persona Trinity Soul. It’s got awesome animation, plot’s good (I’m a big fan of mystery, haha, I actually have this strange fondness of stories with erm… weird plots and unclear stuffs going on) Anyways… I find the anime and its characters very likeable, my favorite character would be Kanzato Ryou the eldest brother, he’s handsome, he is a serious guy with some funny/adorable/cute scenes, me likey likey. Well, he isn’t really a serious guy and he’s not as cold as he presents himself, I mean he wasn’t when he was still young as seen on an episode of Persona, when he carried his younger brother Shun on his back when he tripped on the ground letting his balloon fly into the sky. He’s a good older brother, and it’s evident that he loves his brothers and cares for them a lot. I believe he distance himself from the people he cares for because he’s blaming himself for what had happened to his younger sister Yuki, Jun’s twin. It was recently explained that when they were younger, Jun and Yuki got into a fatal accident. The doctor approached Ryou, since he’s the eldest of the siblings and told him that only on of the twins will be able to live. He asked him to decide who among the two should live and amidst the aching of his heart, he was forced to make a decision. He chose Jun and the doctor had a part of Yuki’s brain implanted in his little brother. Until the present time, he’s still not over the matter since as I have mentioned, he puts a distance between them.

One of my favorite scenes with Ryou in the anime is when he saw this guy wearing a bear costume, selling balloons faint. He then helps him (very kind, very kind indeed) and even gone to buy the guy some food. But, the guy got terrified of him, I’m not so sure about the deal with Ryou and the Bear guy because I couldn’t remember the guy’s face, but he’s scared of him to the point of him leaving the area and his bear costume to get away from him. He’s probably another Persona user who had fought dear Ryou before or a criminal whom he caught before. Anyways, what happened was that the guy left and when Ryou came back to the area (a bench) to give the guy his food, there was only the bear guy’s bear costume. He came to look for the owner bringing the costume with him when he got pass two kids, one of them is crying telling his older brother that he wanted to get a balloon from Mr. Bear. The little boy wouldn’t stop crying so dandandandan… Ryou decided to wear the costume (KAWAII!!!) He came to the little boy’s rescue and handed him a balloon. The boy stopped crying and Ryou ended up dancing for the little boy. He seemed like he was enjoying himself back then. How I wished his facial expression while he was dancing was visible. Anyways, after a while, his phone rang and he was about to take the bear mask off when again, the little boy’s older brother said something like Mr. Bear is just a person, but the younger boy argued that Mr. Bear is alive. Haha! And Ryou, not wanting to destroy what the little boy believes, decided not to take the phone call (Weird for someone as workaholic as him… but that was his dayoff… but still weird… see! He’s a really nice person). To speed things up, kidnappers arrived on the scene and threatened to get the two kids, but it wasn’t their lucky day since the great Kanzato Ryou was there and guess what, the kidnappers ended up in the police station saying things like ‘A bear attacked them’ The police weren’t able to find out who saved the kids then…

Near the end of the episode, he was seen on the park reminiscing of the past, where Shun tripped and lost his blue balloon (wait, I’ve written this line before, oh well…) His trance was interrupted by a customer and it was his younger brother Shun, asking him if he could buy a balloon. Shun chose a blue balloon and too bad we weren’t able to see his facial expression back then, but there was a still moment before he gave the balloon to him, but, a guess… I think he smiled back then…

It wasn’t implied, but some people sort of feels that Ryou’s going out with the doctor, the girl doctor, I think her name’s Reiko or Keiko or something… but I’m sure it’s not that way. I REFUSE to believe that Ryou is dating that girl. They’re probably just good friends. BWAHAHAHAHAHA Ryou’s mine, MINE!!! And if ever he’s going to be paired up with someone in the story, I’d prefer an outgoing girl who’s pretty hard headed, but smart, probably an actress or a model or a band vocalist who’d give him a headache. I’m sure that’ll be really cute.

Gilgamesh and Saber: Unrequited Love

2008-01-11T22:29:00.000-08:00

Gilgamesh appeared as a villain in the anime Fate Stay Night. Many might hate him for ruining or attempting to ruin the life of the protagonists. However in my case, I hated the main guy protagonist, Shirou. I don’t like him and I don’t think he deserves Saber and Saber’s love. This post is about Gilgamesh and Saber but before I proceed, let me first explain why I hate Shirou so much.

I have three reasons. First of all, the way he stops Saber from fighting and telling her things like she’s a girl and it’s not right for a girl to fight is very insulting in my opinion. Girls and Boys are supposed to be treated equally, and what he’s doing is absolutely gender discrimination, and to think that he’s a very very very very very very very weak. How would he survive or rather, how would Saber survive if she relies on him?? Second, his idealistic thinking of SAVING EVERYONE, duh! And I mean DUH!! How can he save everyone when he cannot even save his own self!? Saying stupid things like “Normal people die when they are killed” this phrase is very amusing. Third, he’s not even handsome. I mean what the heck! This guy doesn’t have the attitude/character for someone to fall in love with, he’s got no looks, his magical ability is what the characters in the anime call “lame, useless, boring, etc.”, he’s a very arrogant person, thinking that he can save everyone and he’s so not good looking. Saber doesn’t deserve someone like him. *pants* Sorry to SaberxShirou fans, this is just my personal opinion anyway, I’m really sorry for the rants.

Ok, now why do I like the pair Saber and Gilgamesh? This pairing is actually not just based on looks, in all honesty. I didn’t think Gilgamesh was handsome on his first appearances, I mean compared to my dear Archer. The thing that struck me the most is his dedication to making Saber his. Ok, before you tell me that he’s not a gentleman, he doesn’t respect women or he’s very selfish, hear my reason XD. Gilgamesh is as he explained—the first hero. He is the King who had everything, that explains the infinite number of weapons he has on hand. The reason of the way he forces Saber to be his could be because of this detail. He is used to having everything that he desires on his grasp and he probably didn’t know how to express his feeling well that’s why he had assumed violence. Even though he practically stabbed Saber a couple of times, fought her with all his might, he didn’t want her to die or disappear. Remember when he said he wouldn’t kill Shirou because if he dies, Saber will also disappear. He is also well aware that Saber is a powerful servant and a King. He did not underestimate her, unlike a certain someone who talks big for someone so weak. Also, notice that he was actually happy when he was fighting Saber. I’d say, her very presence makes him happy. As I have mentioned, he just doesn’t know how to express himself well. But it’s obvious that he really likes Saber, I’d even say he loves her. I love it when he tells others not to touch Saber because she is his. And when he mentioned something like “As expected from the girl I laid my eyes on” or something like that. One more thing, on the last episode, when Saber won, he touched her face before he disappeared and said that he forgave her. That he’s not angry because he lost to her. He was actually smiling, perhaps happy that the one who won against him is the woman he loves.

Gilgamesh and Saber is the best pair in Fate Stay Night in my opinion. And if only, IF ONLY Shirou wasn’t in the picture and Saber had said yes to the proposal he made (and I mean the wedding proposal where in he mentioned something like “Let’s get engaged while you’re still sane”) Things could have turned out beautifully. Don’t get me wrong, the ending of Fate is nice, but it could have turned out much better.

Can't Get Enough of Ashido

2008-01-08T23:55:00.000-08:00

Ashido is the mysterious Shinigami from Bleach who first appeared on episode 148. Not much is known about him except from the fact that his name is Ashido, and that he stayed inside Hueco Mundo to slay Hollows before they get to the real world to lessen the burden on the other Shinigamis. Such a noble guy ^o^

I do not read the Bleach manga so I won’t be able to state more facts about him, or if he will be coming back on later episodes since he decided to stay on the Hollow’s nest to give Rukia, Ichigo and the others time to escape.

The reason why I’m writing this particular post is because I like his character, I mean seriously… If Ichigo and Renji are inexistent in the anime which is of course impossible because Ichigo’s the MAIN character and Renji is also one of the main characters, I would have preferred RukiaxAshido, but since that’s not the case, hmm… I’ll still write about him anyway.

I’m pretty sure many are familiar with the basic details about him, but for those who aren’t familiar Ashido came to Hueco Mundo because he and his squad were chasing after some Hollows. They followed them to their territory. When they got there they continued slaying until only Ashido was left. He wears a Hollow’s mask because it was the mask of the last Hollow his friend killed before he died. The Hollow’s mask hides his handsome face but it helps him in battles, it deflects Hollow’s Cero blast and is a very good shield, unfortunately it was destroyed, the reason? He saved Rukia *mushy-ness coming up* I know he probably misses the company of others, he has been stuck in that horrible place for more than a hundred years (correct me if I’m wrong) but the point of him saving Rukia is SWEET. Oh and if I remember right, Rukia seemed to like him, like a crush or something, she was staring at him differently, she claims it was because she felt bad for him, staying for so long inside that forsaken place not knowing that the one who was causing all the trouble in the real world and in soul society and even Hueco Mundo is a fellow Shinigami. OK I admit, I could be dreaming, but hey, I can dream can’t I? Plus, how nice is it to see Ichigo jealous because someone’s getting pretty close to the girl he loves? (Although he wouldn’t admit, but I know that’s the truth).

Until this time in the ongoing series, Ashido hasn’t came back or shown himself safe and sound to the others. I still don’t know if we’ll be seeing more of him, but I hope we do. I’d want him to participate in the battle against the Arrancars and Aizen to compensate for the times he stayed alone inside enemy territory. It would be bad for his story to end on episode 150. I’m sure some more interesting stuff can be found out from him, if only he would come back to them.

Cool Type Kyouya

2008-01-08T07:30:00.000-08:00

NOTE: All pics are taken from Episode 8 ^o^ I'll add some from other eps when I get some time

One who’s existence is a key to the Host Club’s survival, because without him their host club wouldn't earn profit, judging from the other members' perception of money, or maybe they're club is just earning money because Kyouya is there. either way he's still one of the founders of the club lol I'll stop confusing myself and proceed. Ootori Kyouya a.k.a. Shadow King. He’s perhaps the only member of the Host Club with the exception of Haruhi whose character would slide into the “sane” type. I’m not saying that the other characters of Ouran High School Host Club are insane, well perhaps a little… hmm… ok a lot, but not in a bad way ^o^.

Ok, Kyouya’s the Host Club’s “Cool Type” the reason mainly because he’s cool. He can handle different kinds of situations smoothly, always finds ways to make money, knows more than anybody in school and controls his emotions well. He obviously likes Haruhi and I mean A LOT, judging from the way he takes down notes about her, makes research, finds ways to communicate with Haruhi’s dad even to the point of his past co-workers (I mean seriously, why would he make an effort to do all those things that doesn’t give him any “merit”, unless it means something similar to the phrase “love her” or “like her”). It’s obvious anyway I don’t have to elaborate more on that.

On the ranking for the ‘one’ for Haruhi, I rank him second to Tamaki. As I have mentioned, he’s totally in to Haruhi he’s probably just not showing it. Haruhi will most likely end up with Tamaki but IF a certain something would happen, like an incident wherein he would die *hope not… definitely not* I’d much rather have Kyouya take care of Haruhi. Three things, He likes her, His father approves of Haruhi and He is Tamaki’s best friend. If anything happens to Tamaki, I’m sure he’ll be able to protect and take care of her.

But, I’m about 99 percent certain that Haruhi will end up with Tamaki, so the probability of an undesirable incident to occur is very small. If that’s the case then I would want him to end up with… No not Renge! Definitely not her!! I’d want him to end up with a girl who is familiar with his business. Someone who is rich but prefers simple living, someone who knows a lot about formalities and normal events, haha, I think I’ll be making a fanfiction for this one. Check it on my other blog Pipan’s Fiction perhaps I’ll be writing something for it, but maybe not soon since I’m still working on a lot of things.

Kyouya is my favorite character in OHSHC, well I love all the main characters of Ouran but Kyouya’s my most favorite. Nothing much regarding KyoHaru here, just Kyouya gomenasai… I’ll save it up for it another time.

The Guy for Hino

2007-12-14T03:59:00.000-08:00

Note: Picture bias, Len has the most pics, because I love Len!! Kyaa!!

La Corda d’Oro is one of my most loved animes, it’s a romance comedy whose plot revolves mainly in classical music.

Hino Kahoko the heroine who plays violin is surrounded by gorgeous guys namely:

Yunoki Azuma- flute
Hihara Kazuki- trumpet
Shimizu Keiichi- cello
Tsuchiura Ryoutaro- piano
Tsukimori Len- violin

All the guys mentioned above practically have feelings for Hino, which becomes evident as the anime moves. They all have their “moments” with our heroine but I think only two of them have the tendency to become Hino’s boyfriend and that’s Len and Ryoutaro (Personal opinion).

Why do I say that it’s the two of them? Let’s check them, shall we…

First, Shimizu Keiichi, he’s a freshman, a year younger than Kahoko (age doesn’t matter though), well he couldn’t be one because, although he’s basically the guy in the group with the most dates with Kahoko outside school (although they’re not really dates, but considering the places they go to when they meet accidentally: museum, concert at the park, restaurant, it looks like it), I don’t see any spark when they’re together and he looks a lot better with Fuyumi.

Next, Hihara Kazuki, he’s Hino-chan’s senpai and also has OBVIOUS crush on Hino. He is handsome, talented and I must admit, I love his moments with Hino, but, I don’t think he’s fit to be her boyfriend. The reason is because he’s a bit too immature for his age and I cannot imagine the two of them going out together. They could become best friends but not lovers, they're cute and he's sweet but... I just can't see them together in a romantic relationship. He’s such a sweet guy, maybe if he matures a bit, although I don’t think it’ll be possible since being child-like is probably his character and his best asset. He’s cute, very…

Third, Yunoki Azuma, Mr. popular, Mr. Perfect, he’s the epitome of excellence. Apparently that’s only on first glance since his “real” personality is one that’s dark and evil (or is it). I get the feeling that he’s pretending though, pretending to be all evil in front of Hino to see if she can still accept him or it could be that he can only show that side of him to Hino because he likes her and wants to see if she can still accept him. He likes Hino obviously, but he’s got a unique way of showing it. Hmm… actually, he’s not one of my strong bets, but… on second thought, I think I should reminisce more about him and Hino. I’ll be writing more about the two of them sometime I think. Ah!! I’m starting to like their pair. heehee

So those are my reasons for not picking any of the three, I mean two guys mentioned above (the one, Azuma, I’m still thinking twice about) as Hino’s lover. I’ve chosen two, Tsukimori Len and Tsuchiura Ryoutaro.

My reasons:

Tsukimori Len, he’s first considered an arrogant guy who refused to help Hino on her errand, but turns out to be a real good guy, a real good attractive guy, who shows subtle hints of feelings towards Hino as the story progresses. I think, he’s the person with the most “moments” with Hino and most of them would spell out the word LOVE.

There is also a story in their school, where a girl and a boy who both play the violin and joined the concours and then fell in love with each other. So like Hino and Len, since they both play the violin. He’s also the first person to make Hino appreciate classical music. The time he played Ave Maria inspired Hino and started her love for music. They also had a duet with their violins on their camp, and they sound so remarkably beautiful.

When Len’s mother wanted him to participate on a concert for a cause and he refused, his mother said out loud to herself, “I hope that child feels how it is to love” or something like that, Hino’s image immediately flashed in Len’s mind. And when Len accepted the offer and told his mother that “It’s just that, I want someone to hear my performance” KYAAAAA!!!! Len’s mother asked herself who opened his son’s heart, the only name that would come to thought is HINO KAHOKO. Len also gave Hino a ticket for his and his mother’s concert personally, and he did not give the others any, just Hino, his mother was the one who gave his other colleagues their tickets and their seats were behind Hino’s. It proves that Hino was really the one who changed Len’s heart and that concert was dedicated to her. Also, his mother said “I knew it” confirming that what she thought is true, that his dear son is indeed in love with Hino. Bravo, Len’s mom!! Back to past episodes I just recalled, when Ryoutaro’s ex-girlfriend showed-up and mistook the two of them for lovers, he intently listened to Hino’s answer, perhaps hoping she’d say yes and he kept on repeating that moment to Ryoutaro. He’s definitely proud of it KAWAII.

Ah I know more scenes. I just can’t put all of them to writing, maybe sometime later, I’ll write something for Hino and Len ~especially.

Ehem… Amidst his seemingly cold exterior, he gets to open up to Hino, doing things that he normally wouldn’t do. He’s helped her lots of times, spent sweet moments with her, and has changed because of her.

Ah, so many things come to mind, so many pleasant memories of the two of them, but I couldn’t put them all here, I’m a bit too tired, anyways, the anime has lots of them, HinoxLen moments.

Tsuchiura Ryoutaro, the first guy Hino’s become close with. He first saves Hino from falling down the staircase, helps her with her errand and also has sweet moments with her.

There wasn’t any story about a piano player and a violin player falling in love in their school BUT remember, Len’s mom is a piano player and his dad plays the violin. So like Hino and Ryoutaro.

Ryoutaro saved Hino when her accompanist dissed her and showed up his brilliant piano skills which he hid for quite a while because of some past event, all of it he did for Hino. When the two of them are together, they look like lovers more than friends. They talk a lot and Ryoutaro shows that he really does like Hino and he sort of loses his cool when it comes to her (that’s probably the reason why he hates Len so much) Like when Hihara accidentally pushed Hino on the bed and they were both so close to each other, he got angry, although he tried to hide it. When Hino was all depressed because Len heard her play a normal violin which sounded terrible, Ryoutaro tried to make Hino tell him what was bothering him and he definitely lost his composure when he got angry, even threw his bag away when Hino refused to tell him. He even attempted to punch Len when he thought it was him who made his precious girl cry. There was even an instance where his ex-girlfriend showed up and his expressions suggest that he doesn’t want Hino to see her. (Scared perhaps that she might distance herself from him)

The two of them are both equally handsome and equally talented. They have their own strengths, and they both obviously like Hino. The two of them (WHEN—(because I don’t want to lose hope that a Segundo Passo would come) so WHEN the second season comes, it’d probably be about who’s going to win Hino’s heart) They both did start their love rivalry on the second to the last episode of primo passo, specifically when Ryoutaro said “I accept your challenge” he most definitely did not mean the concour but another type of competition, and Len, not letting out any form of denial means he’ll go on with it.

So the question remains, who’s going to end up with Hino? The boyfriend material is most likely Ryoutaro, he’s easy to talk to, caring, thoughtful, when Hino and him are together they’re always talking about something, whereas when Hino and Len are together they don’t talk almost at all if not for some music related subjects, eeeh?? Of course he changed, haha!! There's a very very very evident change in him, if only Hino was able to notice and realize that she was the cause of all that. But they still look good together AND they have the MOST and I mean MOST moments together. Seriously, they even had Len’s family especially his mother in lots of episodes, and it probably implies something (Hino's future family perhaps, ah, now I'm getting more bias). And take note (yep, still not done with my bias-ness), her face turned red when their hands touched ‘accidentally’ on the music shop when Hino was replacing her violin strings. She even asked herself why. Now why is that?

So, who who who? Who’s ending up with Hino? Of course we cannot be certain, only hints suggests, and until a second season of this wonderful anime comes out, it’s going to be hard to decide, considering the given choices. Until now I still can’t decide who I want her to end up with, not that it matters anyway, even without a particular guy in mind to become her boyfriend, the events in the anime is still breathtaking. Her moments with different bishounens are amazingly amazing. Hino’s one lucky lucky girl.

Whoever she chooses, may it be Len or Ryoutaro or Azuma or Hihara or Ousaki-senpai (Ah, I forgot to mention him earlier, oh well maybe next time) I’ll take the one who’s not chosen between Ryoutaro, Azuma and Len (Just them three including Ousaki that makes it four, Hihara's also cute so I think I'll add him too, and his brother's also handsome. Ah!! What's this?? Bishounen shopping! I got to get hold of myself~~~) *evil laugh* I take the one not chosen Especially and I mean ESPECIALLY if it’s Len. Oh, now that I think about it, I want her to end up with Ryoutaro so I can have Len ALL FOR MYSELF bwhahahahaha!!! (just kidding, it’s half meant though, oh no, it’s more than half meant. Len’s MINE!!!)

Kyaaaaaaa!! Segundo Passo please come out soon!! Or PLEASE COME OUT, at least announce.

Ah!! I still have so much in mind, but I cannot put all of them in writing or in this post, so I'll try to write some more some time, perhaps something that focuses more on LenxHino or AzumaxHino or OusakixHino, sometime later I think.

Once again KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! and I mean KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I love La Corda d'Oro KYAAAA!!!~

Silver-Eyed Lion King and Number Forty Seven

2007-12-07T18:27:00.000-08:00

Clare and Rigardo? Rigardo and Clare? I’ve been reminiscing on the 21^st Claymore episode where Rigardo, a.k.a. The Silver-Eyed Lion King made his appearance.

My first impression of him was an emotionless, strong, smart and a very good looking guy (Just don’t let him transform, heehee) and someone who can become ehem, The number forty seven in the organization, Clare’s lover (he’s got potential!).

They have some things in common. Like for instance, they’re both good looking. They’ve been Claymores—Rigardo was once, before he turned into an awakened being and Clare also WAS a Claymore, before she decided to quit the “organization” on the last episode of season one (I believe there’s going to be a second season, hopefully).

They also have differences, like their attitudes and characteristics. Clare’s usually driven by her emotions, which could make her do reckless (and amazing) things. Rigardo on the other hand is more composed and analyzes the situation before making a move, although, he let loose on the later parts of his fight with Clare

Their similarities and differences when summed up would make the two of them a good pair. There aren’t any hints about a particular “love issue” between the both of them (my imagination’s been making up things though) but IF ONLY there was a little tweak in the story, like perhaps IF Rigardo did not die then he COULD HAVE realized Easley’s way of doing things are bad then he WOULD HAVE parted with his group and wander around. Then, he COULD HAVE met Clare along the way and he could tell her his story and they would travel together, learn to like and appreciate each other, realize their feelings towards each other and decide to get married!! (haha! Gomen, imagination taking over)

Too bad, it’s impossible though, since he’s an awakened being (Who loves to eat human guts) and he’s also already dead, killed by the one person I’d love him to get together with. (or IF there was a tiny winy – little – bit of chance he’s alive (if only, although it was clear that he was killed by Clare, but IF a large IF) then it could continue on the second season (Gomen, imagination taking over again).

Ah, lovely lovely anime Claymore is!! (second season please come out or announce your existence soon *whispers into the air*)

Ouran LOVE Reviews

2007-11-29T08:04:00.000-08:00

Ouran High School Host Club's (OHSHC) Fujioka Haruhi doesn't seem to be the typical girl. She's surrounded by six gorgeous boys but hardly any signs of falling in love with any of them, or is there... (yep, we all know that there are signs) OK!!

Haruhi's totally numb, utterly clueless of all the LOVE around her. The other members are quite obvious though (some if not all of them).

Let's check the guys:
-Suoh Tamaki
-Ootari Kyouya
-Hitachiin Hikaru
-Hitachiin Kaoru
-Morinozuka Takashi
-Haninozuka Mitsukuni

I originally planned to have all members but realized that it's already late and having everyone in the host club here would make this post too long. Maybe I'll edit it sometimes or probably make a new post for the other host club members.
For now, it'll be about TamakixHaruhi

Suoh Tamaki:

The Host Club's President, son of the school's superintendent, the most popular host in the host club.
This guy's totally in love with Haruhi, but he's so slow he doesn't notice it himself. He's the person Haruhi's most likely going to end up with.

On the first episode, he was the last person to know that Haruhi's a girl. He made her run errands for the club (because of Haruhi's debt from breaking a vase they are suppose to put on auction) but promoted her to a host when he saw her pretty (at that time 'handsome') features. Tamaki's best trait, I think is his kindness. He trusted Haruhi and helped her look for her wallet that a girl intentionally dropped on the fountain and believed Haruhi when the same girl framed her, thinking that he's a guy (That made me like him more!)

The 'love' realization, he mistakes as his 'fatherly instincts' most likely began on the first episode when he blushes furiously as he observes her entertaining customers from a corner. It's a crush, obviously but he doesn't realize it 'coz he thought Haruhi's a guy back then, heck! even when he knew she's a girl he still couldn't figure out his feelings. Anyways, more third person realizations are shown on the next episodes.

In episode two for instance, He was jealous of Haruhi getting some of his customers and thus, he wanted her to stop being a host. He gave her a deal saying that she's supposed to learn to dance for their dance party, otherwise she'd be back to doing her club chores. He said those but he wanted to be Haruhi's 'lady' dance partner for her practices, which is not possible because of his height. He also tried to stop Haruhi's kiss on the cheek with her customer because Honey-senpai blurted out that it could be Haruhi's first kiss, but he slipped on a banana peel and tripped pushing Haruhi and having her kiss her customer on the lips, which was really funny.

One more scene is that from episode 3 I think the one with the title 'Invasion of the new manager' where Renge made them act out roles. Renge had two Yakuza sons act as Yakuzas which made them angry (I was too... I didn't like her at first, especially for trying to steal MY Kyouya, haha!) So, what happened was the two guys pushed Renge to the wall and Haruhi, being Haruhi saved her and prevented Renge from hitting the wall with her own body. Tamaki arrived afterwards witnessing a tear fall from Haru-chan's eyes. His expression at that moment was SPLENDID! (First time Tamaki had an angry look on his beautiful face) The expression of a guy who saw his love hurt. He seriously wanted to punch the guy.

Another of their best scenes is on episode 8 (One of my most favorite episodes) where they went to Kyouya's beach resort. They decided to have a 'find Haruhi's weakness' game where they must find the thing that scares Haruhi with her pictures as price. Along the episode, there was an incident where guys from somewhere appeared and bullied Haruhi pushing her to the sea. Tamaki immediately rushed to save her and carried her to shore. Where he scolded her for what she did (endangering herself, making him worry... A LOT) Lots happened after... Like he told her he's not talking to her until she reflects on what she did, but it turned out that he was the most affected. He was scared of Haruhi (Funny... but definitely L-O-V-E).

He was also angry (his face showed) when he saw Haruhi and Kyouya alone inside Kyouya's room with the lights off. His fury wasn't directed to Haruhi at that moment, but at Kyouya (heehee, overprotectiveness and JEALOUSY) It's good to see Ta ma-chan's angry feature occasionally, and only Haruhi can trigger it! Banzai!

My favorite episodes for TamaxHaru would be:

Episode 1 - where everyone is introduced, and we see Tamaki's good side, well all eps shows his good side but on the 1st ep, we see that even without knowing Haru-chan's gender, he's still willing to help her and that's a really BIG Plus! A good guy Tamaki

Episode 3 - "be careful with Physical Examinations" Tama-chan's struggle to keep Haruhi in the host club and Tamaki's inner mind theater.

Episode 8 - "The sun, the sea and the host club"HAHA I've already mentioned about this one, very nice! The hug scene almost made me scream my heart out.

Episode 10 - "The daily life of the Fujioka household" We see how Tamaki is similar to Haruhi's father. Ranka-san (Haru-chan's dad) treats Tamaki rudely, but in a funny way of course. Later on it is evident that he acts that way towards Tamaki because he feels (knows) that his daughter likes him.

Episode 23 - "Tamaki's unrealized melancholy" Kasanoda finds out Haruhi's secret and falls in love with her. Tama-chan is in shock. Super funny episode. We see just how slow Tamaki is when it comes to his own feelings. All those time, he was literally thinking that he is Haruhi's father, that's why he thinks Haruhi's so cute and that he wants to keep her for himself. Super baka!! I mean, super gorgeous, cute, lovely baka!!

Episode 25 and 26 - We finally see Haruhi show some emotions. She gets jealous (yipee!) runs for Tamaki to stop him from going to France and from leaving the Host Club (and leaving her). Beautiful scene, TamaxHaru hug from the bridge to the lake/sea nah, it's a body of water I'm not sure what type. A festival dance and GET THIS, I so love it when Tamaki and Kyouya's dad argued about who's marrying Haruhi in the future, which means, Haruhi will be well accepted in their family, I doubt about her grandmother though, but I'm sure when that time comes they'll be able to handle it.

I think that Tamaki's and Haruhi might end up together, the story shows a lot of scenes and events with the two of them in it and Haruhi's jealousy at the end is an indication that she does like Tamaki.
It's not yet finished though, I'm still hoping for a second season to come soon, hopefully...
We don't know what's going to happen next, whether or not Haruhi ends up with Tamaki, nevertheless, they look good together and just reminiscing on their moments together makes people such as myself happy.
