Plot:
Haruhi Fujioka is a scholarship student at Ouran High School, a fictional school located in Bunkyō, Tokyo. Because of the superlative cost of the school uniform, Haruhi resorts to wearing long slacks, polo shirts and a vest. Combined with her large glasses and tousled short hair, Haruhi’s look causes her to be confused for a boy.

Looking for a quiet place to study, Haruhi stumbles upon the Third Music Room, the working place of the Ouran Host Club, a group of six attractive male students (Takashi “Mori”, Mitsukuni “Hunny”, Kaoru and Hikaru, Tamaki, and Kyouya) who spend their time charming and entertaining the school’s girls for profit. During their first meeting, Haruhi accidentally knocks over a vase valued at ¥8,000,000, estimated to be $80,000.

In order to pay off the large sum, Haruhi is employed as the club’s “dog” and constantly ordered to do menial tasks like serving food or cleaning up. The Club president, without knowing she is really a girl, promotes Haruhi to “host” as soon as he discovers her potential. Even after the truth comes out in the Club, Haruhi continues the charade and is allowed to pay off the rest of her debt working as a host — provided she conceals her true identity from the customers.

There’s this sweet scene in episode 21 whereon Hikaru got separated from Kaoru and after Fujioka-san cut the rope he ran fast to look for Kaoru (aaawwwwwww…)

But when Hikaru noticesthat he wants to take another step forward…
when that happens
what will I do?
-Kaoru

Episode 22 – Sendou Tatsuya looks so cool!!! A son of Sendou gumi leader that has left the group and joined the Kasonoda gumi and has fallen for the kindness of Kasanoda-san.

Soshite, before the episode ends, Kasanoda san found out the Fujioka is a girl! Hmmm… I wonder how this anime will end – will she chose one of the Hitachiin kyoudai? Dono-sama or Kasanoda-san? Hmmm…

Episode 23 – Kyoya=sempai is so cool though he looked like threatening Kasanoda-san than negotiating.

Episode 24 is really interesting – it tells how kyouya and tamaki became friends and how did they established the club. Moreover, there’s a lesson that is imparted in this episode. It’s to try harder and not to give up easily.

“That’s right
I have the confidence not to lose to my bros ability-wise
But just because I’m the 3rd son
The frustration that I have from this frame that I’m noy allowed to come-out of…”
-Kyouya

The last episode is, well to describe it – sugoi desu yo! Action-packed – the club members tried to get Tamaki back and they successfully did it. Revelations in the end – Kyouya bought the medical company under the name K.O. before the Tonerre group can take it and gave the managing rights to his dad. He bought it and declared he does not need it and threw it back at his dad. His dad always thought that he is the most talented amongst his sons. Eclair’s servant is actually Tamaki’s mom. I also did not think that Eclair is that bad, she let Tamaki go. In the end, I wondered if it’s ok if Tamaki can’t see his mom and Haruhi did not choose between Hikaru nor Tamaki though it looks like Tamaki is ahead of the 2. Oh well, I’ve expected this. I just wish that there’s another season ^_^

My fave characters still remain the ff: Kyouya, Hitachiin bros and Morinozuka fol by Tamaki and Honey sempai :)

Detective School Q

Plot:
Detective School Q is the story of a group of young students from Class Q of Dan Detective School (DDS), a prestigious and renowned detective academy founded by Morihiko Dan, the most famous detective in Japan, and the adventures and mysteries they unfold and solve together. They eventually work against Pluto, a mysterious organization which creates almost fool-proof plans that only a handful of detectives can solve.

Tantei Gakuen Q is like Detective Conan divided by 5 (or was it 6?). The stories are really intersting but the plot for me somehow sucked in the end. I was expecting the plot would get exciting in the end if Ryuu would join King Hades and he and Kyuu will battle one on one. But that did not happened, Ryuu remained to be good (tsumaranai ~_~). The school never knew that he was the grandson of King Hades and who was the spy among them (it was actually nanami) I knew it was Ryuu’s dad who saved him from the kidanappers (Moriko Dan’s assistant)

plot: Kimihiro Watanuki is a high school student plagued by yōkai, supernatural beings magically attracted to him. The creatures are invisible to others, and as a result he feels extremely burdened by them. When he quite literally stumbles into a shop that grants wishes, his life changes drastically.

The shop is owned by Yūko Ichihara, a seductively beautiful witch of many names and esoteric renown. The seemingly all-knowing witch offers to grant Watanuki’s wish to be rid of his ability to see spirits. However, in exchange, he must pay a price equal to the power required to grant the wish. Yūko discovers that Watanuki is very skilled with his hands and a hard worker. As a result, Watanuki is forced to perform housework and odd jobs for Yūko until he has done enough work for his wish to be granted.

Shortly afterwards, other characters become involved with Watanuki’s position, including his love interest, Himawari Kunogi, and his “rival,” Shizuka Dōmeki. The three become increasingly “friendly,” despite the number of times Watanuki becomes annoyed by Dōmeki’s calm demeanor.

(source: Wikipedia)

I like it everytime Yuuko-san bullies Watanuki-kun and how he looks so despairingly pathetic about it, haha. And also how Doumeki-san gets annoyed with Watanuki-kun. Just like to quote Yuuko-san: “What is normal anyway? Isn’t it simply following the crowd? What do you really think it seems? If you don’t trouble the rest of the world, There’s no harm in being abnormal” xxxHolic is one of the animes created by CLAMP that I liked (after X that is). Again, I never thought I’d like this one. It’s actually the 1st series from CLAMP that I liked all the characters but the ones that I really liked is Watanuki-kun and Doumeki-kun then Yuuko chan and the spirit that liked Watanuki (forgot the name). It’s so sad that the series has ended! I wanted to watch more of it. I have not felt the climax at all, there’s just this nice woman that came up that caused Watanuki’s existence to vanish and then Doumeki killed her to save Watanuki and then that’s it! No action whatsoever. And the last episode was just a side story and they just celebrated Watanuki’s birthday. It’s a happy ending but it’s just so lame ~_~ Also, this series has a similarity to Legal Drug manga also by CLAMP. The theme is also about the unnatural. Doumeki-kun also looked like one of the 2 lead characters there :D

For Nakamoto, Arai, Shimura, Katoh and Takagi, graduation from the Seiryu Academy for boys can’t arrive soon enough! With preparations being made for the end of the year festivities, the gang is presented with an opportunity they can’t refuse from President Kusanagi himself — to perform in a special play for all the students! The only catch? The title of the play to be performed by these three manly men is… Little Women?!

So much bishunen! I was expecting for some yaoi stuff and love-dovey but there was none!!! Waahhhh!









Deathnote

I never thought I’d like Deathnote. I’m not much into anime with “dark themes”. But I can’t help but watch it, it’s so addicting – it makes you want to finish the anime asap. My fave character here is L. He’s so cool! I’don’t care if he is weird – I just like him! My next fave is Mello and lastly, Near. I hate Light-kun! I think he is the dirtiest anime character there is! The most notorious and witty villian!

Compared to the manga, there’s no rooftop scene in the anime. I hate the scene wherein Light and L help each other dry themselves from the rain. It looks so shounen-ai to me!(gives me shivers). I can’t recall exactly but in the manga, L did not initiate to test the deathnote unlike in the anime. I hate episode 25 (athough it’s one of the best and exciting episodes) ‘coz L died here. I hate Light! I hate him for killing L! Hmmmmp!


Watari’s vision from his monitor


L knew that something happened to Watari


L’s fall (I hate you Light-kun for doing this!)


Mello – one of L’s successor


Near – the other successor of L


Light felt that he is again being trap by L
