REVIEW: Moshidora (Anime)

This is an old anime but, I want to give it a little review about it because of the awesomeness content of the anime. So, lets get started.

 What if a management of Highschool baseball team read Duckers management book? What will happen then? Moshidora is an anime about managing a Baseball team by using a management book by Peter Duckers.  Moshidora objective is to teach people the essence of management but the main objective of this anime is to show us and encourage us to full fill our dream and to move on.
What I like about in this anime is the warm, heart breaking and move on setting that it gives. The character were so normal, no tsundere, no yandere, no abnormal ones. I love how Yoko Hikasa and Kana Hanazawa act on their characters which is the two main lead of the series, Kawashima Minami and Miyata Yuuki. Another thing was the opening and ending theme of the anime.The song is really fit to the series.

Daisuki da yo ( Oh how I love you ) by Momo

One of the most unforgettable scene in the anime was the two ending episodes. This really makes me cry to the end. Luckily, my family and friends is not around, hahaha! This anime makes me remember those days that makes my heart breaks and adding those two songs makes it more memorable and meaningful. Well, there are times in our life that we need to let go and move on and its one of the hardest thing that could ever come up in our life. But even though it happens, theirs one thing that will still remain, and its those precious memories that you made and it will forever keep in you heart. So, don't be sad, and don't be mad, even thought its hurting you so much, one day you will get over it and realize that the most precious gift that you own in this earth is those memory.


This anime genre is slice-of-life, drama and sport. If I give it a rate of 1 to 10, I'll rate it 9. I love this kind of anime, I recommend it to all ages.

Aki Toyosaki's "Hey Jude" and the absurd bashing of Haters

I was thinking if I would do some blog and comment about this issue this past few days. I'm not that interest in it but in the end, I think I'll do it since its a very controversial issue about one of the most famous voice actress and singer in the anime world, Aki Toyosaki.

Aki Toyosaki was one of the promising and talented voice actress in this generation. She was very known for her role of Yui Hirasawa from the anime, "K-On!". She was also affiliated in a seiyuu group known as "Sphere" and a seiyuu band known as "Ho-kago Tea Time (HTT)". And because she was a singer in Japan, she held random concert and live performance with or without her group,"Sphere". Her group was one of the famous group known in Japan.
She said that she really loves oldies music, that's why in her radio show, they play old songs like "The Beatles" and many more. So, in her solo concert she decided to play an oldies song entitled, "Hey Jude". Here's the video.



This video was posted in youtube a days ago and a thousand of viewers really hate it. They put up negative comments, telling her that her voice and English sucks. Did you ever realize how hard it is to Japanese people to speak in English or in other language(Well, I think except for Korean and Chinese). But if you ask me, I like it, its a very good cover coming from a Japanese girl, playing those difficult guitar chords. Well, yeah I'm one of her fan but I'm not being bias. Yes her English was not that good and her voice was not that fit to the song but hey, that's not really the worse cover. I've seen and heard more people doing it that gives me a face palm expression but this girl just did a good job and then, she receive those kind of bashing? Well, I think that's one of downside of being famous.

Most of the Otaku people in Japan used to portrait and imagine the seiyuu's to be very alike to their anime characters. Well, they said, that's because it is their job, the companies order and their agency. Once you did some activity that the people (specially the creepy once.) don't want, prepare yourself for the worse.



One of the most intriguing and scandalous seiyuu who receive ultimate bashing or bullying from her haters was none other than Aya Hirano. She continue to fight her rights and freedom by also bashing them. The worse thing to that was her not so supportive agency. Theirs also a time that she was nearly banned in the seiyuu world. But thanks to her new agency and her new dream, she's now back to work.




Toyosaki-san HTT group.
After having a big success of the anime K-On!. The gossip and criticism begun to wrap the group. From doujinshi manga made by Sato Satomi, up to their love life. I think, this is another reason why Toyosaki-sans Ex-fans are bashing her.

Well, I don't know where is this post going but theirs one thing that I really, really want to tell you all. Everyone, Aki Toyosaki is a Japanese human being. She is born and live as a Japanese women.Created to eat, to drink, to help others, to choose what she believe in, to have dream of her own and to have a wonderful love life to with her other half.

 One thing that they can not give a negative comment is her skills in the guitar. Yeah, I agree, her guitar skill is growing more and more. Maybe one day, she can compose her own song.

REVIEW: Kill me Baby (Baby, Please Kill me)

Its been a month since I haven't post anything. Sorry about that, I've been busy and kinda lazy for awhile but today, I'll give you a quick review of one of my favorite new anime, "Kill me Baby (Baby, Please Kill me)".

Err.. Lets just declare that Sonya-chans gun is a Toy.. ^^

Kill me Baby is a story of two friends, Sonya the one who works as an assassin and Yasuna an airhead girl who always follow Sonya around. Together, will they find the true meaning of friendship? LOL XD

Kill me Baby is an anime full of gag and humorous thing about friendship.The thing that this anime got me is its unique title, "Kill me Baby", why did the creator entitle it like that? As I watch the opening and ending PV of the anime, and repeat the "Kill me Baby" thing in my head was then I realized why did the creator entitle it like that. Haven't you felt the feeling of wanting to 'kill' your friend, even though she or he is not doing anything to you. Uhmm.. How can I explain it. The 'kill' word that I'm telling you was not literally killing your friend. Its like an extreme, wanting, catching or drawing attention of your friend. Its like that, you love your friend so much that you want to kill him/her, though not literally and the love thing is different from being lovers. When you watch this video you will definitely understand what I'm saying.


Well, this anime is not that humorous to me. Their gags was not that catchy like "Nichijou" or "Azumangdaioh", but if you love slice-of-life, comedy and cute chibi girls, you will enjoy it. I also don't recommend this to children under age of 7 to 12. If I rate this anime from 1 to 10, I'll give it a 7.

Merry Christmas

Hi everyone, I'm very happy so, I want to blog something about what happen to me this Christmas.

I did an extra work this before Christmas and since its my first wage, I bought my first bible. (yup I don't have a bible.)

Well, I told God that I will buy a Bible when I got my first wage so, I did it. ^^

An then, I saw this picture.


Isn't it cute? ^__^

I'm very happy today cause I got to see my cousins, uncle and aunties. And I got to know more about Jesus. Oh yeah, don't get mad at me everyone, but you should avoid using "xmas" instead, use "Christmas". Using the word "Xmas" is not really appropriate, yes its a shortcut for Christmas but when you use it, it really lose its meaning. Christmas is a very special day. Its a day were Giving, Forgiving, Understanding, Family and Love prevails. Its a day where our savior, our God is born. 

Well everyone, thank you for reading my blog. May you have a Happy, Blessful and Merry Christmas.. God Bless you all. 

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

REVIEW: Tamayura (Anime)

Photography is not all about expressing yourself, its about showing how amazing is GOD creation. ~M.L.C.M.


Tamayura is about an young girl name Fu Sawatari who moves back to Takehara, Hiroshima to start her first year high school. She really love's photography and use her deceased fathers Rollie 35S camera to take random photos. Tamayura is an anime series that has a four OVA and currently ongoing entitled "Tamayura ~hitotose~".


Here are the seiyuu's of Tamayura.



And here is the ending theme of the ongoing series of Tamayura or also known as "Tamayura ~hitotose~". When I first heard this song, my tears suddenly went out. I don't know why, maybe because of the message of the song. It seems that, God speaking to me while watching the video. It really got me. The title of the song is "Kamisama no Itazura (God's Trick)". The message that I got from this song was that, God knows everything. Sometimes, he will do something to you that will make you even stronger so, don't give up, have faith because everything will be alright.




Here is the PV of the video by Megumi Nakajima. Really, I just want to thank her for singing this song, so, Arigatou gozaimasu Nakajima-san. This song will surely be on my top list.


Admiring photo's just like Fu-chan and loving a slice of life anime, I really enjoy watching this. In addition to that, the songs were so awesome and relaxing. So if you want to watch a relaxing anime, I recommebd this to you. Over all, I give it a rating of 9 out of 10.


The earth is the LORD's and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for God has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.
Psalm 24:1-2


Another song that really catches my heart was the song "Yasashisa no Tsutsumerata nara (Engulf in Gentleness)". This song was one of the reason why I fell in love with this anime. This song means alot to me. Thank you Maaya Sakamoto for singing this song. ^^

SEIYUU REVIEW # 2 Kana Hanazawa, Haruka Tomatsu and Saori Hayami

Hi everyone, today, I'll give you a review of three known seiyuu's. I would like to introduce them by showing you a picture that a made just for my blog.


Alright then, lets start up with the first picture.

Kana Hanazawa (花澤香菜)

Kana Hanazawa is a popular voice actress in Japan. She is known for her role as Zange/Hakua Suzushiro at Kannagi, Suou at Darker than Black, Sora at Sketchbook, Kuroneko at OrenoImotou, Black Rock Shooter as Black Rock Shooter and many more. Her breakout role was Sengoku Nadeko of Bakemonotogari.

She is a child actress since 2001 and she decided to be a seiyuu in year 2006. Her voice is very soft and timid that's why she always gets a moe role or a soft spoken character.

Looking at her picture and listening to her voice makes you think that, this girl is a shy type person. Well, your quite right but kinda wrong. She's a shy and jolly type of person in a very mysterious and funny why. She is sometimes the source of laughter in a group. Try watching her at youtube or niconico websites and you'll see what I mean.

I got interested on her because, she was always with Yoko Hikasa (one of her co-seiyuu in Moshidora) in a picture. Then I begun to read some English translated radio show blogs about her and after reading I she totally got me. After that, I decided to watch some of her video on her radio shows at youtube and start watching one of her anime shows, the "Sketchbook~ Full colors". I really enjoy watching the anime and listening to her.


I was shocked and amazed that she was the one who sang one of the cutest song I ever heard, the "Renai Circulation". Its a song the she sang for the anime Bakemonotagari. Here is the video of the song.


Kana Hanzawa is currently affiliate in a seiyuu group called "Ro-Kyo-Bu!". The group was established this year 2011 consisting of Kana Hanazawa, Yoko Hikasa, Yuka Iguchi, Rina Hidaka and Yui Ogura. I think this group has a high percentage of being famous just like "Sphere".

Haruka Tomatsu (戸松 遥)


Looking at her picture makes me remember the anime Ano Hana. Hahaha! Well, enough of that. Lets start the review.

Haruka Tomatsu is another popular seiyuu in Japan. Her breakout role according to some wiki's is, Corticarte Apa Lagranges of Shinkyoku Sokai Polyphonica. After that she begun to have major roles, such as Nagi/Kannagi of Kannagi, Lala Satalin Deviluke and many more.

I got curious about Haruka Tomatsu because of a wiki info of Kana Hanazawa. I'm not really a fan of her, in fact I was really annoyed by her voice, even now. But, when I heard her on Morita-san Wa Mukuchi and find out that she was the one who sang my favorite song in So-Ra-No-Wo-To, I begun to admire her voice and work ethic. Even though I'm still annoyed at her voice, theirs something in that voice that you can't stop liking it.

Just like Kana-san, she is also an actress before being a seiyuu. In fact according to some blogs, while working at Kannagi, she was included in two  TV shows entitled, "RH Plus" and "Greenwood".


Haruka Tomatsu was also affiliated in a seiyuu group known as "Sphere". It is currently (according to some blogs and review) the reigning seiyuu group in Japan this 2011. The group is consisting of Haruka Tomatsu, Aki Toyosaki, Minako Kotobuki and Ayahi Takagi.

Another additional Info.:
Last 2010, Kana Hanazawa and Haruka Tomatsu appeared as an extra in a movie entitled "Watashi no yasashikunai Senpai (My Unkind Senpai)". The movie was directed by Yutaka Yamamoto also known as the director of several anime's like, "Lucky Star" and "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".

Saori Hayami (早見 沙織 )

Saori Hayami is a new but really known seiyuu in Japan. She made her debut in year 2007 as Momoka Kawakabe in an anime "Toka Gettan". Just like other seiyuu's, she do her job while studying in collage. Little is known about her, but they said she has an angelic voice.

I got interested in her because of some radio translation blog post about her. They say that she has an angelic voice so, I try searching her song in Youtube. After hearing her song, I was speechless and amazed. Believe me,she really do have an angelic voice.








I have I little knowledge about her so, I'll just give you a sample song of Hayami Saori. It was a live event of Sora no Otoshimono. Enjoy watching.


And their you have it. Another review of amazing seiyuu's. Thank you for reading it. Just wait and theirs still more to come. Have a Blessed day everyone.. ^^
