Hmm, never heard of that one - what's that about?

Wind ~a breath of heart~ is a frankly ridiculous but harmless (and fanservice-less) romance show. The episodes are 10 minutes long each, so it's worth the (short) download time. When I say it's ridiculous, that isn't to say it's poorly done or off-the-wall; rather, the premise is crap. I find it... (*Looks around nervously*) heartwarming.


Right now, I'm watching...

Naruto ep. 101
Wind ~a breath of heart~ ep. 12
Windy Tales ep. 1
Full Moon wo Sagashite ep. 14

Twelve Kingdoms
lastexile
trigun (always)

I watch:

PreTear(my fav!!!!)
Chobits
Edens Bowy
Azumangadioh (I spelt that wrong)
Slayers
Evangelion
and a couple others I cant remember

Wow, has anyone seen the end of Figure 17 vol 3? I just got done with it and couldn't believe what happened at the end! I wasn't even sure I wanted to keep watching after that, but once I thought about it I realized it was a piece of great writing and one of those moments when you realize, "that's why I watch anime".

Check out the spoiler below for what I mean.



[SPOILER]I can't believe Sho dies - and just after Tsubasa was getting to like him which was helping her come out of her shell [/SPOILER]

Fruits Basket vol. 1 I think this is the 10th time....

Currently I'm watching Sonic X and Gundam Seed, and I'm rewatching Dragonball Z

Last exile ep. 1-16. (Stinks that I have to buy SIX volumes to get 26 episodes.)

I just bought a new dvd, "Here is Greenwood." I always wanted to see it and sense all the episodes are on one dvd i thought i might as well get it. I think i'll be good.
-------------------

Right now, I'm watching Full Moon Wo Sagashite. It's about a little 12 year old girl who has throat cancer, but her dream is to become a singer in order to reach out to the love of her life, who moved to the US. One day, the Shingimi ( kind of like angels of death) come to visit her to discuss her situation......BUT, she can see them! They let it slip that she only has a year to live, but they're willing to make it her best year ever. I won't say too much more, because I've given away enough as it is...anyway, it's a really cute and touching anime with good animation, and Takuto is the cutest!

Fruits Basket. ^_^ it's so cute. i just got the whole series for my birthday.

Good series, ne? Look for an offical CAA review for the series soon. ^^

I am currently watching Nadia. It's a very engrossing series.

I'm re-watching Gundam Wing for like the 823840263875628375238th time in the past six years. The dialogue gets cheesier every time. "So that's their little battle seed, all ready to sprout into new battles!" I have to fight the urge to choke Zechs every time I hear that line. I've tried to jump into my TV four times to do it.

At the moment I am watching Omishi Magical Theater: Risky Safety.

What do you think of it, Rev? It always seemed to teeter on the fence between cute and strange for me.

To tell you the truth, it is not what I was expecting. I had to take a double take a few moments ago as I looked at AnimeNation's age rating for the series which is: All. Sadly, it is peppered with mild language. There also seems to be an undercurrent of a darker theme that is hard to put my finger on. The overall task of Risky seeking the souls of individual's while viewed at times as humorous in her endevors has a tendency to be bleak at others. So much so that I would not show this to that same group that I would show a title like Tiny Snow Fairy Sugar to.

I am somewhat confused by the overall direction of the series. I supposed it would be Risky/Safety's dealings with the female lead, however, it continuously heads off in other directions focusing on a number of different side stories. Let me point out that I am only half way through volume 2 so this may change.

Teetering the fence of cute and strange is a good way to describe it. One episode I really like while the next just doesn't do anything for me. Plus the fact, while I don't mind the pitch of some anime character's voices, Safety's seem much to high pitched and strained.

I think, for me, the funniest moments are those just before the feature when Risky or Safety are warning about sitting far enough away from the TV. All of the sudden the picture will expand. One show Safety will say, "Oh look a cute kitty cat!" The next show will be Risky's turn who will say something like, "Hey look, a toilet!"

Overall so far I only give this one about 5 out of 10.

I couldn't have worded it better myself. I was also somewhat disturbed by cute little Risky getting very gleeful and cheering for a melancholy (and very young!) middle school student to jump off a building. (She had no intention of it, but it was a tad unsettling). (Oh, and the puppeteer's dolls creeped me out too, but one must bear in mind that I get creeped out very easily.)

And I agree with you about not grouping it with Sugar. I was bothered with swears inside a "safe for all ages" anime too. Risky Safety is hardly on my lists of favorites (I have yet to bother tracking down the third DVD) but it's not what I'd classify as garbage. It's too unique to be a total "skip this" title but it's certainly an acquired taste.

The "Look! A toilet!" thing did catch me very off guard and gave me a good laugh, though. ^^ I certainly agree with giving it a 5 out of 10.

Well, since I'm waiting for the latest vol's of Getbackers, Kiddygrade, Kaleido Star, and Knight Hunters Eternity to be released, I was watching some Ranma last night. Ep. 7 from season 1, actually. That's one of my fav. episodes...." Enter Ryoga, the eternal 'Lost Boy'. He he he... Ryoga. gotta love him.

Good stuff, no?

WHAT!? They're releasing Full Moon!?!? I don't believe it--- I *brain explodes*


*reassembles her brain* I've gotta check this out. Well, aside from that, I just finished episodes 16-20 of Last Exile (And if they try to put the last six episodes on two disc, I'm gonna hurt someone.)

Wow ... I need to get my head out of my own drawings and back into the magazines and new sites, because this is the first I've heard of it as well. Who's releasing it?

Keep you heads where they are. I apologize. This title is very similar to another that is being released and I got the two confused. Sad to say, Full Moon wo Sagashite is not licensed for release. I'll have to start downloading some fansubs I guess in order to see this one.

Prince of Tennis ep.56-65
Nurse Witch Komugi ep.3-5
Gravitation ep.7-10
