Anime Relations: Zero no Tsukaima, Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi, Zero no Tsukaima: Princesses no Rondo

After finishing Shana, I figured I'd just move onto Rie Kugimiya's other anime... okay, I lied; all I wanted to hear was Mamiko Noto's voice on another character, and I indeed enjoy it. I'm not too fond of comedies and magic, but I found this a little enjoying. I think I cried only three times! I think they were when Colbert "died" Saito "died" and when Charlotte cried when captured. Some of the episodes were random, but I don't think I ever fell sleep... too much. With this finish, I wonder why Kugimiya always voices flat characters...

On a side-note, my rankings for the girls:
Charlotte>Tifania>Henrietta>Louise>Siesta>Kirche... does she even count anymore?

Anime Relations: To LOVE-Ru

I never thought that this series would end, it certainly dragged on forever; perhaps marathoning it was a bad idea. It certainly was dull at times, especially when they didn't center around Lala or Rito. There were definitely some funny times though. I was kind of disappointed by the ending, but I felt that it would be ending that way; sort of like how the Rosario+Vampire endings. It really didn't want to end in a happy way, or perhaps in a sad way. Oh well, I'm finally glad to be done with this anime. I liked the opening song though, and Lala's voice.

On a side-note, my rankings for the girls:
Lala>>Yui>Haruna>Yami=Ryoko>Saki=Ren

Anime Relations: Kanon, Kanon Kazahana, Kanon (2006)

So I finally got to finishing the original version of Kanon after about half a year finishing the 2006 version. I went into it, knowing that it wouldn't be nearly as good but about one part made my heart ache. It was the part with Makoto and her departure. Even though she was my least favorite female in the 2006 version, she really struck my heart in this one. Honestly, Ayu really bugged me, probably because I really hated seeing Nayuki losing Yuichi. For some reason I really hoped that Ayu was gone and she wasn't in that hospital. Oh well, yay for happy endings I guess. I don't quite remember all the events that were parallel between the two versions, but there were both beautiful.

On a side-note, my rankings for the girls:
Mai>Nayuki=Shiori>Makoto=Ayu

Anime Relations: Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl, Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl - Shoujo wa Shoujo ni Koi wo Shita

After finally finishing this series, I was heavily disappointed how it turned out in the end. Yasuna talked about "walking on her own two feet" all the time which annoyed me so much. Did she reject Hazuma once again because she wanted to try to be by herself? Did she only love him because she could see his face back then? Was that the reason she felt as though Hazuma was the only one that she could get along with? She spent all that time, shared all those memories with him, yet she just brushes them off, being so stubborn.

I think I can understand that you really don't want to depend on somebody the rest of your life, but what is love for then? In my opinion, love occurs between two people when you can't live without each other. In that sense, you do need somebody to depend on. You can't do everything on your own. Acting tough just seems silly to me.

I often like those "tsundere" characters, but I despised how Tomari actually won in the end. Perhaps this anime was fated for a happy ending, but I felt it all so superficial. There's was nothing redeeming about her to me. Then again this might be Hazuma's fault for being so wishy-washy.

Gah, my heart feels so empty right now.
