Another Kobato episode is out today! Ureshiii~! <33

This Episode
Kobato’s contemplating on the bottle Ioryogi had just awarded her and was thankful that she had passed the test given to her.  Meaning there’s a big chance in making her wish come true.  Once again, her innocent dawdling made the little blue fellow spat at her and bid her to start working her ass off collecting wounded hearts.   But the dense girl ended up asking everyone she met on the street resulting into a crestfallen Ioryogi.

Exhausted from her fruitless endeavor Kobato ran into a couple of young kids playing and ended up caddying for their game.  But then she bumped into Fujimoto after helping out another mister who was weary giving out tissue samples to the public.  Only then she realized that he was the same guy who saved her from before.

By some dumb luck she also met Sayaka sensei and thus, she found herself inside Yomogi school with the kids.  The comedy began when Kobato and Fujimoto met once again! Suspense! Watch it!  Very cute scenes after! ^^

Kobato got her first wounded heart collected, that which took her by surprise until Ioryogi told her the real score behind.  It was from the kid at the nursery whom she helped  cheer up unknowingly. She got a 100 mark from the magical fella as well for the accomplishment.

Random Babblings

The Ioryogi crawling out of Kobato’s bag reminded me of Sadaku breathing fire! Also whenever that fellow talks, I honestly hear Kurogane everytime!  Think about it, both of them were short-fused right and obviously the same voice.  Why do I have the feeling that Kobato is straying away from the manga?  A new character will appear in the next episode, probably from one of CLAMP’s works but is it not too early to butcher the promising anime story? :\

A few minutes ago, one of my favorite manga serial’s anime adaptation went on air for the first time, 7:30 pm, Japan Time.  That was so exciting!  I never would have thought I could watch an anime in real time again considering my schedule but I’m so glad I made it!

This Episode

The premiere episode mostly focused on the manga’s first chapter which gave a little backgrounder about the legendary Fairy Tail as a guild and the introduction of  the two of the main characters in the story Natsu and Lucy.  Well, Happy included but does it count like one?  Thought not, but it plays an important role too! ^^;

It all started with the nauseated Natsu, motion sick caused by traveling from any transportation, in this case train.   He and happy came to a town where he hoped to find Igneel.  He came across Lucy who saved her from the cheap charm casted by the man claiming himself as the Salamander but was a phony as Natsu had confirmed it.

The blonde girl Lucy can into Harjion (?) for it is said to be famous for magical stuff stores but was dismayed to have found only one.  She was kinda insulted that despite flaunting of her natural charm wih the scrawny store keeper, a meager discount is all that she got.

Thanking Natsu, she paid for the food he and happy devoured gratitude.  She also told them of her desire to be a part of Fairy Tail to be lined up among the most famous mages.  The same wish made her accept the offer of the phony Salamander as he claimed to be a member of Fairy Tail and would help Lucy with her passes in.  It turned out that his group thrives on beautiful ladies and selling them as a merchandise for bucks.

Natsu overheard about the claim on Fairy Tail and that he cannot let pass.  He came to the rescue and found Lucy there too.  After a brief  wave of motion sickness again, he taught  the guys their lesson.  Lucy with Happy’s help tried to escape but as the flying transformation magic of the feline wore out, Lucy fell in the water where she found her stellar keys that fake mage had thrown.  She called for snooty Aquarius and she washed the ship onto the shore flushing Lucy and happy along.

Meanwhile, Natsu amazingly displayed his fire eating ability and showed a bit of his dragon slayer moves making a statement not to mess up with Fairy Tail’s name.  He sure saved the captive girls including Lucy, took care of the fake Salamander’s group but he overdid it a little throwing the port into chaos and right there and then the town authorities arrived.   Natsu grabbed Lucy and sped away asking if she want to join Fairy Tail and without a thought Lucy gave  him a resounding yes!

I can’t totally say about the animation quality because I can only manage an LQ streaming unfortunately but it sure is well written for the first episode.  It captured the fun mostly like in the manga but why is it that I am irritated by Lucy’s voice!  I like Natsu’s!  The seiyuu’s voice fits the role very well!  Happy’s? Erm, just fine, I guess.  Why do I like the ED Theme rather than the opening?

Anyways, this is just the first installment.  Meaning,, we have a lot more episodes to critic on!  Hoping the story would stay loyal in the manga as it is now!

A few seconds after the ultimate CLAMP-holic Chibiyuuto posted his broadcast on Twitter, I was given the chance to take a look at the the latest raw scans of the TRC Epilogue.  Thank you!  They’re still in Japanese and I don’t really have that much time to dissect on it.  So I just looked at the pictures and somehow I understood what’s going on.  Also  some familiar Japanese characters I learned a while back proved to be a little helpful.

I didn’t get to write my insights on the final chapter (232) since I honestly was disappointed of how CLAMP  sort of cut the chase short.  Following the series for years was worth it until the last chapters. We all would agree if I’d say that we expect something to turn out real right but to my amazement, the already super complicated manga plot was  made even more perplexed.  I bet that left most of the fans fuming about the lack of concrete explanation from CLAMP… a tragic but happy ending but definitely with issues unsolved till the end.  It felt like taking the plunge and never fully surfacing again.

Anyways, the epilogue somehow explained a few things about Syaoran and Sakura and the rest of the gang, Fai, Kurogane and Mokona.

It goes a little something like this:

Things had turned out almost normally in the Clow country.  The vanishing people vanish no more making the place full of life again.  Syaoran still came to that old home when he was with Fujitaka.  Because of the choices the clones took, they sacrificed themselves and paid the heavy price of having their existence in every dimension erased (probably as I’ve understood it), no wonder why the supposedly Syaoran’s family portrait has only him and the empty chair where Clone Sakura (mom) used to sit and Clone Syaoran (dad) used to stand.  Sad.

Sakura resumed life normally in the palace, back when Touya wasn’t still king and this time Nadeshiko (mom) was still alive and Fujitaka (dad) whom Clow Reed once stood for assumed his rightful role as King and father to Sakura.  Wait, not in the present Clow I presume…?

Syaoran and Sakura met once again and finally settled that thing from before, the word.. I love you that was left unsaid by their other selves.  The group geared up for travel once again through the help of a Mokona earring (was it Modoki’s? I’m lost, but seems like it hopefully) but this time, Sakura wasn’t able to come by choice believing it would be best judging from the dream she had.  Both wanted to meet the other them once more though they have the clones’ memories inside them. And hey, am I just hallucinating or they did just revealed both their names are Tsubasa? And Fai and Kurogane’s just tag-a-longs now.

I hope I have gotten the gist right and hopefully scanlated version would be out soon!  Nonetheless, it was a satisfactory finale for TRC.  Now, I only have hopes for xxxHOLiC (so lackluster nowadays :C ) for some decent answer and I’d wager we’d see more crossovers of them in some CLAMP’s latest and ongoing works.

It’s been about eight months since I started this blog and it has been a blast for me every time!  I have had nothing but happy memories in here so I feel really blessed.

What’s supposed to be a personal blog became a medium for meeting various people from different parts of the world!  I have loved the interactions which had taken place in here, the many unexpected commendations, they sure are heart-warming.  This place has made for itself a mark somehow, the ever growing readership, the honors achieved, the positive reviews, the backlinks, they’re what every blogger wishes for!

I haven’t thought of all those when I started scribbling in  here but you made me feel so very special! Therefore, I want to thank all the more than 185 thousand and counting followers, readers and visitors who made their way to this site.  I owe you all so much!

Honestly, I feel guilty about not writing any posts lately but I really feel reluctant when I know the next article I’m going to post in here would be the last one…

But! Remember I’ve been dropping hints about the “great move”? This is supposed to be a happy news, isn’t it?  I’m going self-hosted with WordPress still as the platform! I feel I could customize my blog in any way I want!  And besides, a good friend Sena-kun generously offered this dedicated site for me:

fairchild.senakunes.com.

Yes, you can find me there from now on!

And speaking of friends, that is the most amazing thing this endeavor has brought! Meeting cool people and great friends! Lord Ryvius of the Ongaku, Madi-chan of MadiZor, Link-san of the Healing Touch, Sena-kun of Senakunes.com of course! How can I forget Chan-chan, Minnie and more… It’ll take forever if I am to mention them all! ^^; And oh, MrB and the very special Kay-kun…

Dearest Quinn-chan will be joining me in there as well as Taka-san as fellow authors. That means, we’ll have to cover much more stuff than I can handle alone.  The new site still has some glitch here and there from the move but it’ll be fixed in no time.  Overall, I’m pretty excited!

Thank you so much everyone for the trust I’ll try my hardest to still live up to that and I do hope to see you all there!  <3

I remain

Looking back…

If walking home together can be considered as a date, then Len and Kahoko just had one! Meanwhile, Ryou finally discloses his feelings for Kaho with Len!

This Chapter…

Oh hell! I don’t really understand Chinese! I have so much time against me I can’t do it manually!  I’ll just have to say a bit I guess… so, anyone please help!

After the confession Ryou had, he’s headed straight home acting really strange!  He’d slam his door shut so hard making everyone in the house wonder.

It’s also a refreshing scene to see Yunoki that dazzling and cute Shimizu-kun startling  Hino at practice… uhm well, reading the sheets.  Hihara finally meets with Kaji in between a basketball match with Ryou, the two guys seem to get along pretty well.

Then there comes a scene where Ryou and Kaho were talking at school when Len butted in.  It was such a shame that she easily went with him.  Ryou tried to stop her by clinging on to her hand but she definitely is the insensitive one having no idea what that meant! *sigh* Then some talks about the “hand” probably Ryou’s came up and unexpectedly Len held his too adjacent Kaho’s making her blush so much. I wonder what exactly was being said…

The chapter ended with Yunoki’s granny enraged.  Might it be that he has finally chosen to violate her orders?  It’s a good thing for me at least! ^^

Random Babblings…

This has been uploaded last month but I only had the chance to write about this today. I really can’t say anything for the chapter except that they were all blushing at the same time.

Wow, Kaho really is envious with all the beautiful guys flaunting about her.  But what the heck is with her? Is she really just unaware or just chose to ignore those passes which is really absurd.  She should at least had the idea of how those guys might have felt.  Maybe she’s only is aware of Len and sees only him as a man.

Oh well chances are, Mr. Perfect, Kaji-kun will definitely be mine! Fufufufu~!

Looking back…

The Humpty Lock was finally opened and the Dumpty Key has been a perfect fit! Confined in bubbles Amu and Tadase continues to journey into little Ikuto’s past.

This Chapter…

Ikuto’s life had been flashed before Amu and Tadase’s eyes from the time when he was small and speeding up into the present. Both couldn’t believe how hard it had been for Ikuto. Amu really felt for him and comprehends him even better now.

With that kind of feeling, she has summoned Amulet Diamond again!  She was enveloped in bursting light taking everyone by shock.

The had been quite a few attacks from Ikuto but Amu managed to block them and the funny thing is, Amu was seen hugging Ikuto?! How cute!<3

Alright, Amu continued holding Ikuto in her arms uttering his name and I really don’t have any idea how did it happened but suddenly she had another transformation!  And it’s not just her… Ikuto too, from Death Rebel to Seven Seas Treasure, a pirate thingy of some sort.  Amu  meanwhile, turned from Amulet Diamond into Amulet Fortune!

Did Dia converge with Ran, Miki and Suu’s powers to come up with a more powerful amulet? That I’m not sure and did the embryo showed itself?  I just like both outfits.  I love pirates and Amu looks so cute in hers! :3

Random Babblings…

I lost track of time and I didn’t realize a new chapter was released! I was so glad with the recent developments! Oh gosh, I’m loving the manga more!

There was this hot hug between Amuto despite the fact that I wanted a kiss!  Tadase must really be so pissed off and depressed! :P  I just wish Dia would just show herself from now on, it would be more fun!

Looking back…

Looks like Fei Wong Reed’s plans is near completion! Will he succeed?

This Chapter…

The two Sakura’s of the different times, the young one preserved within the ruins and the grown up that which traveled with the small group are being merged into one!

Oh no! Yuuko? A failed creation of Clow’s? How could that even be possible?

So… she has the power to send other people in the different dimensions but she can’t just go there herself?! Hmm… I’m speculating on this very early…

Now, were back to that glass capsule once again… what’s next?

Random Babblings…

Continuing.  Are those guy’s efforts in saving Sakura going to be trashed? Sakura hasn’t even came into her senses even a little! T^T That’s really harsh!  Meaning till the very end, Fei Wong Reed has been toying with their very lives and worst!

Now, as to whom he would like to bring back to life… I have a feeling it was Clow. Why? He wasn’t even bothered by Yuuko’s presence despite the powers she could summon.  I found FWR an idiot.  Someone who’s easily threatened by competition and therefore, I guess he’d bring Clow back to prove his worth and throw his success on Clow’s face.  Or maybe he holds special feelings for him!

And what if… FWR isn’t really FWR? What about the possibility of unmasking him totally revealing that it was actually that mage who conquers water back in the Cardcaptor Sakura days?!

Fufufufu~! I’m having weird thoughts all of a sudden! ^^;

Previously…

Luxus in an unexpected point in the fight between him, Natsu and Gazille chose to reveal himself and unleash the power that hides within!  He is a dragon slayer too!

This Chapter…

Evil desires are still engulfing Luxus.  He wants to destroy all of Fairy Tail and rebuild the same from scratch.

Fairy Law.  An attack which holds immense power of destruction was witnessed.  However there’s some glitch on it.  The  same attack which took Gazille’s former Master (or still is) down in a single blow didn’t affect everyone as Luxus had expected.

The activated magic did fathom the depths of his heart and it reflected as a  result.  Luxus do not actually see everyone as an enemy after all.  He just wanted to be recognized for who he is and not just some Guild Master’s grandson!

Despite knowing of his gramp’s condition he remained rock-headed and Natsu’s determined to knock some sense into him more!

Random Babblings…

Things are getting more and more interesting.  I hope the fighting’s gonna be over soon and I wish for some serene and happy times for Fairy Tail too… it’s been quite sometime already! My eyes are bleeding from the all fight splashes now…

I don’t really know if Master Makarov could still last that long but I hope Polyuska can do something about his ailment.  The next option I can see is that… if ever Luxus reunites, forgives or make peace with his gramps, maybe there’s gonna be more than just magic to revive him.

He was pretty convinced he already had surpassed the Master but first he must realize what Fairy Tail really is.  It’s not just about strength and power but the camaraderie between the nakamas comprising it, is what really matters.  I bet if he admits this for himself, maybe Master Makarov coiuld just hand him Fairy Tail without a doubt.  But first he must learn his lesson.

Looking back…

Watanuki was seeing Yuuko fading away before his very eyes! What could this possibly mean?  Is this even real or was just a dream?

This Chapter…

Yuuko did vanish before Watanuki could do anything.  He opened his eyes still reaching out for her… but the only remnant of her is a single butterfly that was caught in his hands but it soon too it vanished into thin air making him wonder if he’s still inside a dream.

Unable to grasp the meaning of it all and the fact that he can’t find Yuuko and the others in the shop at all made Watanuki grew really worried and has the gut feel that they’re meeting again no more.

However, if that’d be the case, he is determined to do his best and grant whatever it is that Yuuko wishes.  He’s not giving up either on the mysterious lady’s case!

Babbles… Babbles…

Alright, I know this is so much late a rambling… but it’s better late than never!  I got a little caught up with real life and work so…

Anyways, the HOLiC chapters are getting more and more serious as it reveals inch by inch the mysteries enshrouding it.  I am a bit impressed now with CLAMP for it seems that they finally had resumed the their famous “crossover” concept as depicted in Tsubasa.  We have to read both titles now to fully understand the whole thing.

I really felt bad for Watanuki and I fear for the future of the shop and Yuuko.  I have a foreboding that all those were an illusion but I’ve never thought of a possibility that Yuuko could be something like that too.  It’s too early to tell really, so we have to wait and see.

That reminds me, what is that very wish of her? And the lady client? Can Watanuki do something for her or she might bring something else that’s much of a relevance in the story? A big development maybe?

Gosh! All these are gonna be ending soon! Not yet…  T^T
