Valentine's Day Meets Christmas in this AMV!

A Christmas Snow 

by AstylesMusic

Delicious Ca-ke pt. 1

This series is dedicated to "Delicious Ca-ke", because in Japan much commerce and culture, especially for females and cultured male persons, cake is highly enjoyed and celebrated, much like tea but much less than tea. The Japanese celebrate various offshoots of culture that are dedicated to the good life and a well mannered set of ways to have fun and be humane or human. One of these, is for their people as a ethnicity, to enjoy and place value on cake.

Though they would rather use the derivative loanword which sounds and is pronounced like. Ca-Ke!

Today's special "Ca-Ke"

Two Layer Cherry Cake! 

Happy Almost Valentine's Day!

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko {{Spring Anime Recommendation}}

What's tube shaped, squishy inside, and is filled with savory moe? A chikuwa? No! It's...

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko!

[Lit. "Electric wave girl and youthful boy"]

Now, this season is currently being heralded as the rebirth of anime from the flames of natural disaster, and there are plenty of great series' to see, but Denpa Onna is highly recommended! Sankakucomplex lauds it as the "Cutest anime this season"! And there's no denying its kawaii factor... Here's the inside scoop on the plot!

Niwa Makoto is a boy who values youth very

much. He thrives on adolescence and enjoys tabulating the pluses and minuses to his "Adolescence Points." He moves from the countryside to his aunt's place in the city after his parents go abroad. Expecting an especially youthful life in his new environment, Niwa's disappointed to find that his aunt Meme Touwa is the weirdest and flirtatious 39 year old beauty he could ever (not) ask for (apparently advances from your aunt decrease Adolescence points) and she even has a daughter who is equally as strange!

Erio Touwa is a girl who claims to be a spy from outer space. She wraps herself in a futon and hardly ever removes it (even to the extent of eating inside of it!) and listening to television static, mumbling about how "the Earth is being targeted!"

Niwa also meets a super eccentric girl at school (Ryuuko):

...and an especially tall girl who likes unorthodox cosplay (Maekawa):

As strange as his life is becoming, Niwa only finds pluses to his Adolescence points at school...

Until he sees the true beauty and adorableness of his cousin Erio! Niwa makes it his duty to debunk all of her alien conspiracy beliefs to find the truth behind the mysterious Erio.

So why is Denpa Onna so dang cute? The character designs! Have you experienced moe like THIS before? Well?



[She is an alien from planet MOE!!]
Denpa Onna is a very balanced show (although it focuses on cuteness mostly, there is actually a real plot! Yay!)

[The main cast of Denpa Onna, if there were an "Under 40's" age limit.]

If you like comedy, moe, and a couple heartwarming moments of adolescence and craziness, then Denpa Onna is just for you! Highly recommended!

How far is too far? Otaku obsession

Are otaku obsessions are always taking things alittle too far?

Otaku and his newlywed ^^

You all remember when an otaku in Japan married virtual life game character, Nene Anegasaki. He was in his tuxedo and I guess Nene was in her DS world in a wedding dress...

Otaku have married character pillows before also. Yes they married an extra long pillow with a picture of a character girl on it. If I did that, I would be jealous of the man who married Ms. Anegasaki, at least she can be interacted with through the DS. He can probably also beg the video game company to include more features and emotions.

The question is, are these obsessions and love stories taking things too far?

I don't know. While regular people dream about their boyfriends or girlfriends I had dreams about Taiga Aisaka from Toradora and Kagome from Inuyasha. Actual dreams occuring at night where I was their boyfriend. Obviously Inuyasha and Ryuuji would kick my ass if they found out. If I can have infatuation dreams about those anime girls then maybe otaku obsessions are not so bad.

But it would be a little better for me to find a girl like Taiga or Kagome and not go out with a character pillow just yet... However since "ask and tell" has been repealed I would be able to share some hot love stories if I go into the army. ^^ (lol)

:::Tsundere Spotlight:::

This TSL goes to Aria from Hidan no Aria!

With the infamous Rie Kugimiya as voice actress (Seiyuu) and Junji Majima (who's also Ryuuji from Toradora!) as voice actor (for the male lead, Kinji), this anime kicks it off this season while hi-lighting Aria as another glorious addition to the tsundere Rie family ^^.

Some background: The anime is about a school for training students to be special agents called Butei. Their classes consist of half-normal-school curriculum and half-CIA-type-training. So basically Aria meets Kinji and, after he goes all 『ありあをまもる』 "I'm protecting you [Aria]" in an action scene she decides that she wants him on her team. She says "Join my party!" which reminded me of an RPG game =P.

So it's a typical boy-meets-girl... or is it? There's a twist with both of the characters that is left very mysterious. What is Kinji's "hysteria mode" that he always tries to keep secret?--and who is Aria searching for and why does she think it's Kinji?

Anyway so It's very interesting and I suggest you give it a try if you like Action + Rie Kugimiya :).

Onto Aria's review! :)

Aria's weapons of choice are two guns and two katanas, making "Aria the Quadra" a very unique addition to the Rie family :)

She most closely resembles Shana from Shakugan no Shana, in both tsundere type and general appearance. (If you don't know who Shana is, she's another Rie tsundere who's tsundere type is polar-by-episode as opposed to a change over time. In other words her tsuntsun and deredere sides are found in every episode instead of slowly turning deredere as the story progresses).

So what will happen as the S Rank Assault-Section, Kanzaki H. Aria, tries to pair up with the E Rank Kinji? Is Kinji truly that unskilled? Or is he hiding something that he wants to forget?--could he be another Kamijou Touma (Toaru Majutsu no Index), or is he another first-season Yuuji (Shakugan no Shana)? You'll have to watch Hidan no Aria (Aria the Scarlet Ammo) to find out! >:)

It's time for some snapshots! :)





So don't forget to make this tsundere smile by catching her in Hidan no Aria! :)

That's all for today, stay tuned for next time!! :)

Thanks for reading! ^^,

:::Tsundere Spotlight:::

Hey everyone! This TSL goes to none other than Victorique from Gosick!

I'm sure you're all aware of--wait what, you're not? Have you not heard of the simply awesome moe-filled mystery anime called Gosick? Well then! It's time for some background then, isn't it? ^^

K: じゃあー　はじめましょうか。
R: Jaa~ hajimemashouka?
E: Well then, shall we begin?

"The year is 1924" and our main character, Kazuya Kujo from Japan, appears in Sauville, "a small European country neatly tucked beside the Alps" for a study abroad program. Eventually he meets our second main character, "the mysterious Victorique" (ふしぎなヴィクトリカ / fushigi na Vikutorika), at the top of a very tall library tower.

The library is probably the tallest one you'll ever see in anime.

And did I mention there was a garden on top?

Plagued by boredom and forbidden to leave the tower without permission, Victorique gets really excited to see Kujo and makes him an object of her amusement right away: "You were chosen... As a single fragment with which to fill up my boredom." She makes him dance, bring her candy and more importantly, tell her of the mysteries and exciting things of the world which she cannot see.

Victorique is a genius hidden among the books of the tower. Very few know of her or her ability to solve crimes so simply by "reconstructing the chaos" in her mind. What adventures and mysteries of the European world will we see in this anime? How far will Kujo go for his new-founded friendship with this kawaii tsundere? Will the mysteries never end? You'll have to watch Gosick to find out! =P

Since you now know the background of Victorique, let's move onward to the Tsundere analysis! ^^. "Massugu, GO!" (Manabi Reference).

Victorique's voice (ヴィクトリカのこえ / Vikutorika no koe), which is very cute, is done by none other than Aoi Yuuki (who also voices Mio from Kaminomi)!

Her character design is extremely moe (とてももえ / totemo moe) mainly due to the flexibility of unique European style + Japanese/tsundere personality.

"So what tsundere type is she??" She's my favorite type of tsundere: she has a shy and sensitive tsuntsun side and a moe deredere side. Her polarity is evident in every episode as opposed to a complete change over time, but as the story progresses so does her tsundere personality.

So if you have time, don't forget to check out Victorique from Gosick! If you don't have time--MAKE SOME! =P

Time for some Tsundere/Moe snapshots! :)










Stay tuned for next time!!

Thanks for reading!
