A fool,perhaps?

Once upon a time, there was this foolish traveller, who'd gone on a journey, why was he foolish, well because he was fooled by everyone he met. “Please some money for medicine” said an old lady, and he gave money to her. Everywhere he went people made up all kinds of sad stories to tell him, and the traveller fell for every one of them, “I have a sick younger sister” a little girl said to him, “I don’t have money to buy seeds to plant in my fields” a man said to him, and he gave to them each something of his. Pretty soon his money, his clothes, even his shoes had been cheated away from him, but the foolish traveller was always glad to help, and he always told people the same thing, he said, “I wish you happiness”. But by this point though, the traveller was completely naked, and with nothing left to cover himself, he decided to leave the main road and travel through the dense forest, where no one could see him. But soon he was discovered by the goblins that lived in the woods. The goblins wanted to eat the traveller’s body, so they begged, and they pleaded, and they used kind words to try and trick him, of course, the traveller was fooled, first he let the goblins eat one of his legs, then an arm, then more and more, before it was over, all the traveller had left was his head. He’d even given his eyes away to the last of the goblins, and as that last goblin was eating the traveller’s eyes, he turned and said “Thank you traveller, in return I leave you this present”, what the goblin left was a slip of paper with the word "fool" written on it. The traveller couldn’t see it, he didn’t know what it was, even so, tears began to float of his face. “Thank you” he said, “This is the first present anyone’s ever given me, I’m so happy, I’m so happy thankyou”. Even without his eyes, he cried and he cried great tears of joy. Then the traveller died… the smile is still on his face.


…I feel so sorry for him, see… lost, hardship, things like that, you can’t really focus on them. The traveller didn’t, he never thought about his own troubles at all, I imagine that it probably does sound foolish to some people, but not to me. I don’t think he’s foolish at all, even though other people would probably think he was being tricked, I don’t think he was, I think he did exactly what he wanted to do… I think more than anything he just wanted to make other people happy.

Highschool of the dead

Highschool of the Dead is written by Daisuke Sato and illustrated by Shuji Sato. This anime/manga is about a group of highschool students facing a zombie apocalypse. The group consists of 2 guys and 4 girls. Btw,this anime/manga belongs to the Ecchi genre therefore expect of lot of big boobs actions.

The plot

Our hero, Takashi Komuro who is a highschool student suddenly witness a zombie attack at his school and tries to save his childhood love and him from being affected by the sudden outbreak and along the way,he gangs up with his other schoolmates for survival.

The cause of the outbreak is unknown but many of the characters speculates that it is a form of biological weapon. Unfortunately, the govt failed to control the situation and the outbreak spread world wide.

The anime/manga shows how society could easily break down when all of controls are lifted and how humans try to make sense of chaos. In anime/manga, there are people who took advantage of the chaos to try to create a new order according to their personal liking.

Self-opinion

The illustrator's works are mostly hentai so that kinda explain why he draws the female with super big boobs,there is even a scene where the females plays with each others boobs shamelessly.

The author's past works also deals with alternate story lines,this is evident in one of his works which is Red Sun Black Cross. The author challenges the thought of the readers to think outside of the box. For example in this anime/manga, it shows what really happens when survival becomes the top priority, frens would not lift a finger to help one another when their lives are stake.

I give it 3 out 5 due to the big boobs which is a big turn off for me

Honey and Clover


Takemoto: If I were to lose.I'd rather lose to
compassion and honor that money and talent......

Morita: Talent? ...... What talent?Everyone arbitrarily hates,loves and curses
others for that.And in the end,they all quietly drift apart



If u know me well,I'm a sucker for those Shounen and Yaoi animes but recently I found a new anime titled Honey and Clover which is about Uni life,friendships and relationships.

The anime has 2 seasons and those Anime-haters could watch the live action drama which is adapted from the manga. ( The actors are cute).

The main characters of the anime are:

1)Takemoto-san
2) Hagu-chan
3) Yamada-chan
4) Morita-san
5) Shu sensei
6)
Mayama-san

All of them are frens and studying art at a prestigious Uni. Hagu is Shu-sensei's cousin who loks a little girl. Shu,Morita and Takemoto are in love with Hagu while Yamada loves Mayama who loves Rika-chan.And lastly,Nomiya loves Yamada.

The theme of the anime is simple which is about LIFE. All of them believe that life is like a honey and clover sandwich,sumtimes its sweet and sumtimes its bitter but u need to finish eating it so u could taste how delicious it is.

The other theme is about Uni life.They always say that in Uni,u discover ur true self,u'll know ur strengths and weakness and try to overcome it to be a better person.

The anime also discussed about how the ppl divide themselves into 2 grups which are the talented grup and the non-talented grup. The talented grup is given high accolades and they seem to live in a different world while the non-talented grup is envious of talented grup and search for their own niche to show the world that they also deserve the accolades.

This anime is damm nice,at one moment,u'll laugh at the characters antics,the next moment,u'll cry together with them. The songs that is in the anime is also quite beautiful and successfully bring out the inner msgs of the anime.




Ps: For more info about the anime,pls google or wiki it.
Pps: U'll need a lot of tissues if u want to watch so keep a spare box of tissue near u.

Junjou Romantica

Ok, i admit i'm an anime freak especially for yaoi genre. Over years, i have viewed a lot of yaoi animes but JUNJOU ROMANTICA is the best ever. Its just perfect for yaoi lovers, a lot of steamy scenes,a good storyline and the combinations of the couples are perfect. But it comes out in seasons so there is about 4 months gap unlike the norm which is continuous







An Overview of the series

There are 3 story lines,Junjou romantica,Junjou egoist and Junjou terrorist.I'm going to summarize each of the story lines.
Junjou Romantica





Its between Misaki and Usami.Usami is the alone,cold,analytic and rich type of guy while Misaki is the easy going,always thinking about others and sweet type of guy. Usami starts to love Misaki when Misaki cried upon hearing that Usami's love to Misaki's Bro was one-sided. Age different about 10 yrs.






Junjou Egoist

Its between Hiroki and Nowaki. Hiroki is a driven, workaholic type of guy but when he loves someone that someone is his world while Nowaki is caring,a bit of an romantic person but believes that the age difference between them is great and always want to be the same level as Hiroki in terms of salary or achievement.Age difference is about 10 yrs.





Junjou Terrorist

Its between Miyagi and Shinobu. A very odd couple cos Shinobu is Miyagi's ex-wife's younger brother.Shinobu always had believed that Miyagi is his lover from the day that they met during the wedding rehearsal. At first, Miyagi thought that Shinobu's love is just a crush. Later on, Miyagi believes that its true love.Miyagi's character is easy going and cool but Shinobu is blunt,perfectionist and unreasonable. Age difference is about 15 yrs.
