Anime

Final Approach

Harem anime genre. Really a funny anime to watch. Lots of girls vs one poor guy. It starts with a cool scene; choppers in night sky. Really looks like some action anime. Then one 'guy' in black suit jump from on of the chopper, looking nice and cool with parachute. 'He' happens to land on one house and breaks into the house from the glass window. These two unsuspecting occupants wonder what is it breaking into their house in the middle of the night. Then... Yes. One cute/kawaii/moe girl comes out from the black suit in kawaii pink colored kimono. "I'm your fiance'" she said to this poor guy. "Whattttt?". Yeah that's what happened. It turns out that to solve decreasing population problem, the government decided to choose couple for young people. Er... does the reason matters. Then the story moves on with the girl trying to make the guy to like her, and also about his young (kawaii) sister and other (kawaii) girls around him. Sounds familiar. Harem anime/one-guy-dozens-of-girls animes do sound familiar, but with varying amount/quantity/number of girls though. I rate this anime as GOOD. Cute character design too. But don't expect too much for the animation; it's just AVERAGE.

Futakoi

Literally means Double Love/Twin Love. The anime genre can be said of Harem anime again. But it's double. You got dozens of girls per one guy x2. Nice. Let me say something, this anime starts off with this one guy goes back to the city where he lived when he was a kid. He remembers this two twins that were close to him, went to themepark/playland. There he remembers that the twins asked him to make them his yomesan/brides when they got older later. He smiles. Then one nearby kid asks her mother "What's the matter with this onii-san?". Sorry. Nothing related to the storyline, just to show that this guy is kind of day-dreamer. Then he goes to one convenient store, stumbles on these cute twins. Smiling like some pervert, only to find himself misunderstood as some kind of molester. The girls try to avoid him, but accidentally drop their wallet. While 'chasing' the girls to give them back the wallet, he finds his ass kicked by the girls' guardian/bodyguard/driver. He runs for his life. But, miraculously the 'nearby kid' tells them the onii-chan is a good guy. He just wanted to give them their wallet. The girls go into rabu rabu mode. Hey, you just add two more girls to your collection. He goes to his relative house. He finds two more young twins. Some more. Then he finds the twins that he knew in his childhood. Too bad my dear. They've forgotten the promise^_^. Don't worry, in the later episode, you'll find some more twins; those in veterinary clinic and their teachers. Have fun watching those twins. I just can't say this anime is GOOD. It's just okay and I watch it just for fun. The animation and character design are just AVERAGE. But the thing that matters most is the genre...

Hagane no Renkinjyutsushi

Or also known as Fullmetal Alchemist. Shounen storyline. Shounen + shoujo drawings. This is a very nice anime to watch for its 51 episodes. Well done storyline. It intraduces us a world where people can do Alchemy, in our world looks like magic, but in their world it is science. Using alchemy, you can change something into something else, provided you follow the main rule for alchemy; something-for-something in equal proportion, meaning that you can change this sand into glass since they are same constituency and amount. You can transform things, repair things with this transmutation circle. This story is about two brothers go on journey to look for a way to become the way they were. After failing to perform human transmutation, they got what they deserve; the older brother Edward lost his arm and leg, and the younger one Alphonse lost his whole body but his soul. Looking for one powerful magical stone, they believe that by having that stone they can transmute to the way they were. No point telling you the whole story, this story is just GOOD the way it is, just watch it! The animation and the soundtracks are just good.

Kannazuki no Miko

Mecha. Drama. Love. Soretomo yuri suggestions? Yes it is. This anime has all these elements. For me I think this anime is more about love triangle than mecha. Only less than 5 minutes of mecha for each episodes. The story is about hi no miko(priestess of sun), Himeko, tsuki no miko(Priestess of Moon), Chikane, and Souma the 7th neck of Orochi. The main character is Himeko(female), whom is loved by these two, Souma(male) and Chikane(female) (did you get what I mean). so, who will get her, Souma or Chikane? Most of the time the story revolves around Chikane feelings, and Souma going on date with Himeko, and Himeko's cuteness (didn't I say the mecha is only minor part of the story). Somehow, Chikane and Himeko remind me of this Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito anime. They look almost the same in a sense that Chikane has long black hair, similar to Hazuki, and Himeko looks similar to Hatsumi, with long blonde hair (and cute too). But, the character design for this anime is not by Carnelian who did the character design for Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito. was it done intentionally by the anime producer so that it will appeal to those who already watched Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito(is there a way to shorten the title just like Genshiken for Gendai Shikaku Bunka Kenkyuukai)? Considering the storyline which is a bit of yuri-ish, it is possible. In summary, the animation is GOOD, and I really like the soundtracks and OP/ED themes, which I think really NICE. Storyline wise, it's up to you. Since I like Yami to..., I like this one too.

Maria-sama ga Miteru*

It is said to be sisterhood in genre? But I think it is just mild yuri plus shoujo in genre. By the way I think the story is just okay, not too much yuri except for the flashback part for Rosa Gigantea. Okay, this anime revolves around this shiritsu Lilian jougakuen/Lilian Private School for Girl. The main character is this Yumi-chan, who admires this one senpai, the Rosa Chinensis en Bouton, later luckily becomes her Petit Seur. It is fun to watch how this funny Yumi-chan deals with the Yamayurikai (the student council) consisting of Rosa Foetida, Rosa Gigantea, and Rosa Chinensis and their en Bouton and en Bouton Petit Seur. See how Yumi-chan transforms her cold expressionless Onee-sama into someone more tender and caring. The storyline is slow, as mentioned in the intro that "walking slowly is preferable here", so is the story. The animation is clean and simple, clearly conveys the emotion. The soundtracks are slow and classical, really fit the anime. As for me this is a GOOD anime to watch.

Maria-sama ga Miteru Haru*

A continuation of Maria-sama ga Miteru, after the last episode of the previous season where they went on date, I think this new season of the anime is just straight to the point; it is yuri in nature. Without explicit content for the yuri expression, just through well-expressed words, this is just mild yuri anime. The relationship between the onee-sama and their petit seur is just getting closer. If you like the previous season, you'll just like this one. In this season you'll see how Yumi-chan's relationship with her onee-sama suffers because of this one girl. You'll also see how the new Rosa Gigantea Shimako deals with her separation from her beloved onee-sama, em, I mean looking for this one kouhai to be her en Bouton. No problem so far with Rosa Foetida family. Another GOOD one. Well concluded... i like to laught i like it ne ne. kiite kiite. i watch this not bcs i like yuri, it's just for fun
