Urusaii urusaii urusai!!
(It means Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!)
Well anyways, after spending the last 12 hours before this post on a marathon shukugan no shana watch, (It could be longer, i didn't skip any part, including the Opening cinematic and the ending cinematic) I declare that it's the best anime i've ever watched. Everything's interesting, plot twists, music, sound, love, fighting, character development. It's freaking cool. Seriously. I wouldn't mind watching the whole thing over again on another marathon run, but let's save it for another day, i don't wanna miss another day of sleep. Well anyways.
About my hols, could be better. I mostly spend it going out here there here there here there here there. And watching animes. Although i still have to look for a place to get driving license <.< Haven't even started it.
Prom was good, Cat's party was good, 1U was good, curve was good. What else can i say.

Top 10 Favorite Animes
1. Shakugan no Shana. Duh. You may skip to 2 if you do not wish to see what i wrote a few paragraph's back.
Everything's interesting, plot twists, music, sound, love, fighting, character development. It's freaking cool. Seriously. I wouldn't mind watching the whole thing over again on another marathon run, but let's save it for another day, i don't wanna miss another day of sleep.
2. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's.
The 2nd season of Nanoha is certainly the best among the 3. Excellent storyline, the art designs were good, the characters were well defined. You gotta love the music for both the opening, ending, and at the 2nd last episode. Too bad you've got to watch Nanoha (original) to understand this, but it's certainly good.
3. Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
What can i say <.< Offering pure fun, comedy, hilarious stuff, not to mention insulting all the other animes out there. First episode was one of the most ridiculous opener ever. Add to the fact that they screwed up the order of the episodes purposely, and you've got an anime that can last forever. O, and the Opening/Ending songs are the bomb.
4. Mai-Hime
Excellent, to say the least. This thing starts out a bit slowly, but once you get past the 2nd episode, you'll be astounded. An anime i almost skipped school to watch the whole thing because i seriously wanted to know what happened. Character development is a key part here, and all the designs look good. Only bad part is the ending, where everything seems over suddenly, but well, it's very minor. Sadly, they left a few things unexplained, but Mai-Otome solved about a half of it. You just have to love Nagi though. "Come and dance in this wise yet cursed Land of Fuuka"
5. Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles - Season 1
Music is excellent, plot is excellent at some points. This would be higher in the list if not for the following reason: the whole series is made up of fillers(the reason why i didn't find season 2 interesting). They hardly explain anything after a few episodes, but it's still nice, especially the main parts. Really, the music is incredible.
6. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS
Double the amount of main characters suddenly. What a surprise. But it really wraps up the Nanoha series nicely, explaining everything that happened, including Fate's past, Nanoha's indecision, and Hayate's will. The 4 new characters are awesome, and you've got to admit that you seriously want Subaru's Wing Road for yourself. The old main characters are back, and they all have a main part in the story as well, with exception of Chrno, Yuuno, Amy, and Arf. But well, Amy isn't exactly needed now, and Chrno still enters the story at the end. I just wanted more Durandal <.< Also, Opening/Ending Songs are still good, just not up to par with Nanoha A's.
7. Mai-Otome
I'll say this. It's not up to Mai-Hime's standard. Nagi's back, Mai's back, Natsuki's back. But for the first 2/3 of the story, it seems to be very casual. It was only much later when you see all the emotions appear, like Nina's devotion. I don't really like how many characters appeared (Hint: Every single character from Mai-Hime, and double it). The ending is good though.
8. The Law of Ueki
Pure fun. Seriously. All the fighting, and all the nonsense. This thing is so damn fun, it's freaking funny. Something like "Oh, this scene looks good, throw it in". Hardly anything is explained at the end, but still. After we choose to abandon the questions "What happened to Robert's 10? Did all of them really turned bald? What happened to the people he fought before? Where is Rihou's Master?" Then we look at the fighting scenes, enjoy it, laugh at everything's that going on, and choose to forget about the stuff that they didn't explain. Also, music and songs are good.
9. Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha
The first season of Nanoha starts it off very slowly, but you're still impressed. It starts out like a clone of Card Captor Sakura, until she goes into space. That's when you realize this thing has stuff different then CCS, and really enjoy it. Again, love the music and songs. Something i like about the Nanoha series, all the music and songs in it. It explains the beginning of Nanoha, so it's really needed to watch A's and StrikerS. Worth it.
10. Last, and sadly, least among my fav animes, is Rockman EXE Axess.
But it still managed to come up here, knocking out others like Tsubasa Season 2, Aria, Air Gear, Chrno Crusade. It gets very interesting at the first quarter part, when the enemies finally realize the truth. Too bad it's not fully subbed though, i'm stuck wondering what is gonna happen <.< At least the opening song and ending song is better then the first Rockman. Also, this thing has 5 seasons, and 4 movies. Rockman EXE, Axess, Stream, Beast, Beast+. Wow. They are currently subbing Axess and Beast, EXE is fully subbed, while Stream/Beast+ seems out. Although Stream is apparently the best among the 5.
That's it for my post, but it's a really long one this time. (:
Finding a new blogskin that doesn't screw me up.
