White Day, Where Girls Get Their Due Too! (ホワイトデー Special!)

Sometimes Japan gets a lot of slack for celebrating Valentine's Day in their own special way: most girls are socially expected to buy the guys in their life (not just their husband, but their friends, neighbors, and even bosses) chocolates as a way of not only showing love, but just your ordinary everyday appreciation. Some girls go as far as making home made chocolate! If you want more information on that process, you can check out my Valentine's Day in Japan post from years past.

RPGHero's Rants

I'll begin with some motivational posters that I really liked...

Most girls will reject you this way, especially if you're otaku enough like RPGhero

Most girls are OK with this though, using force that is...

Poor Sasuke...

Mini Review of Clannad the Second Season

Clannad is a love story about a delinquent who makes friends with a shy classmate, and later chooses to be with her. Clannad was originally a dating sim, so Tomoya chose Nagisa over all of the other girls that went to his school.

The second season was about their life together after Tomoya graduated high school. 

There are many ups and downs in their relationship as Tomoya struggles to prove himself to Nagisa's family and as he tries to reconcile with her father. ...And Nagisa wants to have a baby! That's about all I can say without spoiling too much.

 Watching Clannad After Story is more of a learning experience than a run of the mill anime. As you may have read in Deretsun's review, "Key" is a very unique studio. Their specialty is known as "Key Magic" or the ability to enhance the dramatic story formula so much that your heart begins to bleed for one or more of all of the characters. So much so that you might have to consult your doctor if you have heart issues, just kidding lol. The ending of Clannad After Story is very heartwrenching. So if you are looking for a learning experience in life, then watch this anime! Just have some kleenex or puffs tissues handy!

Chansu though had some issues with the mechanics of the ending, you know him always analyzing anime like rocket science...

Here is a hilarious quote of Chansu's thoughts about the end of Clannad... It's a spoiler so you'll have to click on to get to it...

Angel Beats! :::Anime Recommendation:::

So you've died. Now what? Do you try and stand up against fate? Or will you disappear without a fight?

Angel Beats (my second favorite anime) is about a group of people who are already dead and try to fight their way out of disappearing. What does it truly mean to disappear? Is it as bad as it seems? And who is this mysterious, supernatural, and silver haired girl they call "Angel"?

This anime is truly heart wrenching. Every side story makes you want to cry. But if you can handle it, this is another masterpiece by Key that I HIGHLY recommend. Chansu and I both love it.

Just the animation makes me want to cry. Check it out for yourself! Here's the opening. The song is called My Soul Your Beats By Lia and you can watch it here:



(uploaded myself, just for you guys! :))

Partial first episode spoiler:

It starts out with a new soul entering this world after dying on earth. He meets these weird people who point at this girl with a sniper scope, call her an Angel, and claim to be at war against her. Seeing nothing but an innocent silver-haired girl through the scope, the new guy doesn't understand. Unconvinced, the new guy walks towards the angel, but he's in for an unpleasant surprise.

If you want more you're going to have to check it out for yourself!

So if you get a chance, don't forget to check out Angel Beats!

...And check out Yui in action!
(Sneek peek at my moe-list: Yui = pink haired girl below. She is in my top 5! :))























That's all for today. Thanks for reading! ^^
