Madoromi no Yakusoku

This song is so adorable :3

Madoromi no Yakusoku (Dreamy Promise)
Hyouka ED01
Satomi Satou & Ai Kayano

Translation:

Tonight, let’s meet in a happy dream, where it turns to love

I’m sure, hey, I’ll find you

It’s a dreamy promise

The heat of this budding warmth inside me has me lost

You still don’t know about the way I feel about you

It’s not like your gaze has any special meaning

Because you look at your friends the same way

The tiny wishing stars disappear into the dawn

This magic appears only at night… (I want you to notice)

Tonight, let’s meet in a happy dream, where it turns to love

I’m sure, hey, I’ll find you

It’s a dreamy promise

The time spent after school always has a special atmosphere

Even when you’re not with me, I feel like you’re still by my side

At this rate, we’ll pass the time together casually

Before we can start to get closer to each other

I searched for you in the twinkling stars

I believed I would meet you soon (I’m right here)

Someday it’ll turn to love, when the new morning comes

I’m sure, hey, don’t disappear

With a smile on your face

At this rate, we’ll pass the time together casually

And the kindness in your chest will softly dwindle away

The tiny wishing stars disappear into the dawn

This magic appears only at night… (I want you to notice)

Tonight, let’s meet in a happy dream, where it turns to love

I’m sure, hey, I’ll find you

With a leather-bound smile

I searched for you in the twinkling stars

I believed I would meet you soon (I’m right here)

Someday it’ll turn to love, when the new morning comes

I’m sure, hey, don’t disappear

It’s a dreamy promise

Aquarion EVOL Episode 22

To be honest, I'm speechless about this episode.
I don't even know how to react to it. So, I'm not going to do a lengthy review sort of thing like I did last time.

I'm almost crying over the fact that it's so definitely going to be an Amata x Mikono ending. (and I seriously hope that because I said that, the reverse will happen)

Oh yes, and there was a Kagura sexy overload in this here episode:

+_+

*drool*

HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

c:

You won't end up together, will you... ;_;

So they're going to fight with Kagura for Mikono, huh? Didn't he kick their asses last time (ep 15)?

There's still no word on the promise Zessica has to uphold, to my dismay. I felt as though Shrade's eye color is slightly different this episode, but I don't feel like watching the others to make sure.

What does the next episode have in store?
Well, obviously, since they only have 4 episodes left, they're going to be going to Altair to get to the Legendary Aquarion and to get Mikono. Mikono will not suffer from the "IMMA TURNIN' INTO A MAN" syndrome since she's well... a plot point.

The way things are set up at this point is that: Amata and Zessica are definitely going to be going to Altair.
Andy will probably go too, for Mix-y.
I wonder what'll happen between Kagura and Mikono though. It's too late for romance BUT I STILL HOPE FOR ITTTTTTTT. :x

What a Wasteland

Well, this place is a wasteland. I was kind of hoping a certain SOMEONE wouldn't forget about this thing, but oh well.

Lately, I've been playing Phantasy Star Portable 2 a lot. It's a level grinding game, basically, and usually I would hate those, but I love it so much :3
Then again, I love Disgaea as well, and that game is also pretty much a level grinding one... O_o

Unfortunately I can't take screenshots, so I'll have to make do with this picture I found on Google Images...

I'm playing as a hunter human whom I have made to look like Kagura c:
Right now, I'm level 71 and I can't quite get the weapons I want :\

Hyouka Episode 05

No OP or ED this episode. ;_;

This series has such beautiful animation quality +_+

Oreki's slowly changing! Though I kind of miss how lazy he usually was in the previous episodes, character development is always good. I hope his usual gray-colored self is going to be his attitude in the next episode.

So, it took a little while, but I finally figured out that the words at the very end of an episode are the titles of the arcs. The title of this arc was "The Niece of Time."

So, finally, they solved the mystery of what happened 45 years ago. According to the librarian, Oreki's solution he explained in the previous episode was exactly on target. However, there's the part about Sekitani Jun.

This part felt so weird when you're accustomed to his laziness.

However, before they went to confirm it with the librarian, there was a part where Oreki was reflecting on himself and his attitude. What defines being "rosy"? He kept asking that to himself and he decides to give it a try.
I have to admit, I felt somewhat sad at that, because I liked him when he's gray-colored.

Then there's the word "Hyouka."

I seriously thought he was going to snap.

Hyouka is a pun; a play on words. As explained in the episode, it can be translated to "ice cream" in English. And "ice scream" turns into "I scream." It illustrated Sekitani's helplessness in such a simple way. I like it.

Well, with the mystery solved and with Chitanda being fulfilled, the story moves on.
I can never predict what's going to be in the next episode by looking at the previews, so we'll see what happens when it happens. Of course I can check out the light novel, but I don't feel like it.

What could this possibly mean?

There really isn't much to say when it comes to episodes of Hyouka, huh...

Aquarion EVOL Episode 21

 
The title of this week's episode is "Kiss," so inevitably there was a kiss, as I expected.

Does it count as self-shipping now?

In this episode, we mainly learn that Kagura and Amata form Amagura (...It sounds like their ship name).
And they're back in the city they started in.
And that Kagura and Mikono are gonna get it on. But since it's so forced, I see the following happening in the ending: Kagura and Mikono get together, but Mikono's all like "Is this really right?" or some shiet, then Amata's going to come in and be all like "No! You shouldn't" or something and they'll get together and kick Kagura to the side. Then there'll be an ending like the one for the original Genesis of Aquarion.

Anyway, about this episode...

Sazanka is pleased. >.>

It starts off with them talking about the conditions on Altair. Then we see that Shrade's dying again. But don't worry, he'll be fine by the end of the episode. ...dammit.

...bastard.

Then Trollkage fucks with Zessica for whatever reason. She has to fulfill some type of promise and I can't even imagine what it could be, for once. Usually I would be able to at least get a hint of what will happen (due to all the shows/stories/games I've watched/read/played), but this time, it completely slips me. I'm sure it's something really simple and I'll punch myself in the face when we find out what it is.

Andy laments the fact that Mix is now the very masculine Mixy and whether he'll still love her the same way knowing that she's a he now.

Red tones=nightmare

Cue Amata's Amagura nightmare!
So basically, we get a very direct "hint that Kagura and Amata is one person.
Hold on, Kagura was very sexy in this scene.

+_+

I don't care if the other half of your face is Amata's, your side is better!

*droooool*

Anyway, in the dream, Amata sees himself attacking Mikono and not being able to do a thing about it since Kagura's stronger than him. Pfttttt c:

Next, we see Fudo and Mikono and the story of Apollonius and Celiane is explained.
Amata feels that Mikono is calling for him and he heads out to that city. I knew it.

Zessica and Cayenne set out to find Amata. Cayenne uses his Prophecy of Despair and sees...!

This is how we know it's going to be an Amata/Mikono ending. She's clearly unhappy.

Mother complex much?

Zessica and Cayenne finally arrive in the city and Amata goes back to his room in the theater and is shocked to find a bunch of pictures of his mother tacked on the wall. Elsewhere, Kagura finds a picture of Alicia and Amata and regains his memories!

Dat face ///v///

Dat scream :Q___

I just love Kagura's screams. His voice actor does such a nice job c:
Then Trollkage strikes again D:

I am professing my desire to pursue a relationship with you

NO.

So they escape the theater together and Zessica gets trapped under a few rocks, err stones, whatever. It's strange that she decides to do what she does when she was able to blow away the rocks that were about to hit Amata, but I take it as she wants to help him and has no desire for saving herself at this point.
Then, the episode namer:

 

Was asking for Kagura x Mikono too much?

 And with Amata's little floating thing, he floats away.
The only reason Sazanka's here is because of a rotten union. If you get what I'm sayin ;P

She knows some super hot and awesome bromance is in the air.

I hate your guts, Shrade.

 Shrade's okay. *sarcastic yay*

Amata and Kagura meet and the "You're the other me" moment ensues.
From what I get, Kagura's the one who's got the balls while Amata's pretty much the wimpy one. That explains the attitude toward Mikono. Kagura's more viscous and more assertive while Amata's has a more reserved approach to her. It looks like their eye and hair colors were suppose to swap, but I suppose the eye color got changed to pink and a more gold for emphasis. It's still strange to see a male character with pink eyes... >.>

Blue oni and red oni

Annnnd that's the end of the episode!
In the previews we see that Kagura is able to secure Mikono C:

cccccc:

The next episode is called "Wings of the Sun"
I'm assuming more about Amagura and possibly a fusion will happen next week.

Senior Project!

I did my Senior Project Presentation today c:

Pachi pachi pachi

Aquarion EVOL Episode 20

So I can't go to my senior prom. That sucks ass. I still haven't finished with working on my senior project either, but I'm too excited for...!

Aquarion EVOL!

The twentieth episode of Aquarion EVOL has come out today!

So in this episode, their quest to retrieve Mix is still going on.

Zessica and Yunoha are turning into men, and Amata learns about the curse of Eve.

Also, Shrade won't shut the hell up about music. It's annnnnnoying me. 

Meanwhile, in Mikono's little quest, Fudo is screwing around with her head for whatever reason and decides to explain where the Legendary Aquarion would be using a donut as an example.

Because Mixy TOTALLY sounds more masculine than Mix. -_-

 Andy keeps trying to find Mix, who has turned into a guy already due to the curse and fails. Ironically, they fight her towards the end while they were trying to escape before Zessica loses her tits and Yunoha starts to talk like a delinquent.

Amount of screentime this episode: 5 seconds. WOW

And we get a glimpse of Kagura with giant lotuses in the city where everything began. c:

Clearly, Mikono will fuse with Fudo next episode.

It looks like the set up for this calls for Mikono going to the city that mostly got destroyed in episode one, er, well she's already there, actually. Then she'll somehow run into Kagura one way or another because you know, that would be kinda nice. It's kind of obvious that that's what'll happen since Mikono's pretty much heading to where Kagura is anyway.

The legendary Aquarion will be in that city and shit will go down. Amata will end up going there somehow because he's the Wings of the Sun and run into Kagura/Mikono. One or the other.

The next episode is apparently called "Kiss" so I expect a kiss of some kind. (I hope it's Kagura x Mikono, but the chance of it being their ending is too low since it's going to be an Amata x Mikono ending. ;_;)

Midnight Dreams

Actually not dreaming. Haven't even fallen asleep yet. xD The title sounded deep though. Goodnight blogger. :3

Moonlight Symphonia

First post to a brand new blog...!
I guess I'll start off with the song that gave this blog it's name.
My own translation to it, I mean.


Gekkou Symphonia [Moonlight Symphonia]
Akino & Aiki
Aquarion EVOL ED01

Because Kagura.

We weren’t snatched away by the wind
Knowing that we could never turn back,
We found the courage to accept the tragedy

There’s a hollow where my heart once was
If only I was a bit stronger,
Then could I have been able to save you, and the future?

I only know of one way
To protect the ones I love
However, you’ve already
Drifted away into the sky

I will never meet anyone else quite like you

The flare resisted the moon for so long
The story that ended before it even began
That painfully gentle melody that was locked away
I’ll play it, sing it, until it’s broken to pieces
That’s how much I love you

It’s as though the moon ascended from a dream
Slowly strumming
A sad love song
Turning the silence into a cold winter

With a kindness that does not know roughness,
We became lost at the end of a deep forest
And so, we lost each other for a thousand years

A gray-colored HARMONY
Why are love and freedom
Fated to never meet?
Until the deserts turn into dew

The weight of my heart, the weight of my love
I could hear it throughout my body.
The back of a figure of sublime sorrow

If only I could protect your dreams

The flare resisted the moon for so long
The story that ended before it even began
Softly, tears placed in the sky
Formed an incomplete SYMPHONIA
Just for you,
Only for you,
The last request of the stars

I want to see you
