Last Exile

Just finish watching this anime. It have a rather sad ending. A lot of people die in the last episode.


Dio Eraclea


Luciola

I'm very sad to see the death of Dio Eraclea and his bodyguard cum servant cum friend...Luciola...he is such a loyal friend to Dio.

Plot~excerpt from Wikipedia

The story revolves around Claus Valca and Lavie Head, a young courier pilot and his navigator, and their adventures in the floating world of Prester. In this romantic sky world based on stylized Victorian fashion and society, two countries, Anatole and Dysis (sometimes phonetically rendered as Anatoray and Disith), are engaged in a long and bloody war under the supervision of the mysterious Guild. Claus and Lavie, piloting their vanship (a small wingless aircraft) find themselves involved in a plot surrounding a mysterious little girl named Alvis Hamilton, whom they must deliver as "cargo" to the much-feared neutral battleship "Silvana".

Review : Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

It quite a short anime which contain only 13 episodes. It a mission type anime with some magical power involved. It basically tell the story of a little school going girl name Nanoha who help a animal that look like ferret (is transformed from an injured boy) to collect some crystal which land in that area. So there are some fighting with others to collect the crystal.

The storyline is quite easy to follow. The graphic is nice. It have mild nudity. But 1 thing I don't like is why this anime have to use such little girl to be the protagonist. I rather prefer a teenager than a school girl.

Philosophy from Mushi-shi

Fabian comment :

Sorry, but I don't agree at all. This is one of the most amazing anime I ever watched, it's unlike anything I've ever seen before. Yes, it does have a simple, mission-type structure, but I don't hear people complaining about Cowboy Bebop because of that.

I like Mushi-shi's style, it's so laid back and every single episode seems to reveal another amazing idea. It's a bit philosophical and I think it's deeper than a lot of the crap us anime watchers usually degrade ourselves to. (Highschool romance? COME ON ALREADY!)

I agree and disagree towards the comments.

I must say, I agree that this anime do have a bit of philosophical. In few episodes, Ginko-san say that he is not like other mushi-shi who kill mushi, he kind of live peacefully with it whenever is possible. Like him, we also should try to live peacefully with our surrounding living being by not polluting the world, use less paper, don't use equipment or spray that contain CFC compound etc...etc. Think how we could save this dying earth now. Think how we human going to live if we destroy the forest and polluted the sea and air..hmm I think I overdo it...muahaha.


For Fabian this anime is the best, but it isn't for me. I have my own taste of anime that I like and dislike. Everyone have their own reason why they like to watch certain category of anime. So we can't judge those people that like to watch the so call "crap" you've mention. You can't choose for others!

Anyway, this is my blog and this is my review. I stand by my review, this anime is bored.

Review : Mushi-shi

Finally I've finish watching the anime. This anime contain 26 episode. It not up to my expectation. I don't like this kind of anime.

The story line is too straight forward, whereby the main character Ginko-san will travelling from one place to another place and he will try to solve their place caused by mushi. So the whole series is following the formula. Sometime I feel very boring watching it.

Another thing is that the character in this anime is not a bishonen type. They didn't draw a nice face for Ginko-san and same with the rest of the characters.

But I like their theme song "The Sore Feet song" by Ally Kerr.

The bright side of the anime is that it suitable to be view by children, it doesn't have nudity, spilling of blood or violent.

Mushi-shi Theme Song

Actually I want to embed this theme song on the blog. But since I still can't figure out how to do it, I think I just put the anime theme song here from Youtube.



The name of this song is "The Sore Feet Song" by Ally Kerr.

This is the full version of the song.



Maybe you also want the lyrics...here you go

I walked ten thousand miles, ten thousand miles to see you,
And every gasp of breath i grabbed at just to find you,
I climbed up every hills to get, to you,
I wondered ancient lands to hold, just you.

And every single step of the way, of pain,
Every single night and day,
I searched for you.
Through sandstorms and hazy dawns i reached for you.

I stole ten thousand pounds, ten thousand pounds to see you,
I robbed convenient stores coz i thought they'd make it easier.
I lived off rats and toads, and i starved for you.
I fought off giants bears and i killed them too.

And every single step of the way, of pain,
Every single night and day,
I searched for you.
Through sandstorms and hazy dawns i reached for you.
I'm tired and i'm weak, but i'm strong for you.
I wanna go home, but my love gets me through.

Lalala....

Hmmm...if you google around, you will find Olsen Twins also sing "The sore feet song". But it is a totally different song. Well have a look at it....
