It's happy, heartwarming, sad, pitiful and whatnot all at the same time. All those plus CUTE. That is why I really touched with this anime!It make me laugh and cry..Sure everyone want 'Mum', right? Because the kids really needed a love form the parents, especially mother..

Hatsukoi Limited

Summary
Being an adolescent girl is just one problem after another. Middle-schooler Arihara Ayumi receives a note from a high-schooler, a very large and intimidating boy, Zaitsu Misao, asking her out. Frightened and intrigued, she doesn't know what to do!

This manga features a series of short stories based on about a dozen students and their classmates and relatives. So far, every chapter seems to revolve around a different set of characters, effectively making use of the entire cast (as well as newly introduced characters). These stories are entertained and eventually lead to a main story involving most of the main cast..

Read more information about Hatsukoi Limited - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatsukoi_Limited

Hatsukoi Limited is all about young girls. During school period, love–well, at least going out–is an important for them. When you are alone, you feel like out of group cos everybody enjoying their love life. That’s the reason you have to work hard to find yourself a boy friend. No matter how he look. Ha Ha. This is really comedy story! Ha ha. That really make me laugh out because their silly innocent acts~!

Being a lover is good, but you should not force yourself to get one. If we open our eyes brighter, there are many other achievements we can pursue. Being young is such a bless. ;) I think that their friendship are important because they always become close..Japanese high school girls are quite funny, I think. Wow, they wears such short skirt when they are studying in , but refuse to be peeped on! If you stay in Japan, you will wear that on your first time? :D Ha Ha

It made me remembered my sweet memories about my high school. We girls always talk about the gossip stuffs- boyfriends, beauty, jokes, fashion and etc.. My best friends and me always spend time together on every time. :D My best friend fell love with another guys from another class..it is funny.. but, she rejected by him. Other best friend really like him but she never confessed her feeling at a guy which she likes.. :D I think that maybe they just play only? I never care..because we still are young and still have lot of time, right?

Feel free to read this manga;

Anime: The girl who leapt through time















A high school girl, Konno Makoto, obtains the power of the “time loop”, an ability to leap time, following a car accident. Makoto starts using the power to satisfy her trifling desires. However, her best friend, Tsuda Kosuke, gets involved in an accident because Makoto selfishly changed the past. Her other best friend, Mamiya Chiaki, steps in to avoid the difficulties. Chiaki has come from the future by time loop, and Makoto’s ability is a consequence of the equipment that he has brought.

Sounds like it should be absolute magic…Makoto Konno, an outgoing high school girl living a daily life of fun. She's not the best student in the world, but she has two of the best friends in the world - Kousuke, who's the strong, smart dependable type, and Chiaki, who is a fun-loving slacker. They spend their days together goofing off, singing karaoke and playing catch. But on this particular day, things aren't going so well for her. After failing a pop quiz, nearly setting her cooking class on fire, and enough physical accidents to fill a Buster Keaton movie, she gets killed when the brakes on her bike stop working, sending her directly into the path of an oncoming train...

Can she changed time on her own? What will happen to her if she faces more accidents in past or future and tried to learn more about about what the people around her are really thinking, and how much of a self-absorbed bubble she's been living in. The lessons she learns about herself and her friends are heartwarming and triumphant...

See the full- trailer (with sub-english);

Bon Odori 2008

In Malaysia, Bon Odori Festival is celebrated every year. This celebration is the brain child of the Japanese Expatriate & Immigrant's Society in Malaysia. In comparison to the celebrations in Japan, the festival is less associated with Buddhism and more with Japanese culture. Held mainly to expose locals to a part of Japanese culture, the festival provides the experience of a variety of Japanese food & drinks, art and dance.

Do you know about what is Bon Odori? Bon Odori , meaning simply Bon dance and is an event held during Obon. It is celebrated as a reminder of the gratefulness one should feel toward one’s ancestors. The event was located at Matsushita Corp Stadium in Shah Alam on 12th of July, Saturday.

My colleagues and I joined the students KDU who hosted the 'Anime' club in KDU because they prepared a bus for us..it is very easy, so I no need to drive so far.. :P My youngest sister really be interested in Japanese culture. She followed me go to the Bon Odori Festival 2008. She was really naughty.. -_-















When we arrived at the stadium 'Matsushita', we saw lot of people wear yutaka and kimono! :O There are the shops which sell lots of Japanese foods, such as Takoyaki, Sushi, Dorayaki (I bet Doraemon will love this), Sushi King and lots more. The great about this event is that not only the Japanese will be there, but even people from various races will come too. Malay, Chinese, and Indian will also gathered here to celebrate this event. I saw Malay and Chinese students really love to wear kimono and yutaka! :) But, they also like to wear their favourite costume 'Anime', like Kekkeshi, Peacemaker, Samurai X, Inuyasha and many! :O


















I enjoyed to take more photos before we started to eat the japanese foods. We brought lot of Japanese foods! XD They sell the foods & drinks with price from RM 1- RM 6, so it is fine. ;) We took a picnic then watched Bon Odori Dance.. See more photos;


























































And we saw a cute girl who wear kimono. Many photographers took a photo of her! She was really popular...Haha!




















My youngest sister and I just took a walk after we eat Japanese foods.. All visitors also can welcomed to join Bon Odori dance..:D We learned to dance~dance..Haha..Its fun. After this, I took the photos about Japanese shops.. ;)
























































You better to eat the fish-shaped red bean + ice-cream called "Wafer Fish" because it is very delicious! I not sure what it called..My best friend told me that it is "Wafer Fish"..Haha I don't know one because I don't read Japanese language.. :P

Black Cat

Train Heartnet is known as the Black Cat for his quick reactions to attacks and his title as Number Thirteen as member of the secret society Chronos. He is an unbeatable master gunman, a cold and unfeeling killer until he meets Saya, a bounty hunter, or "sweeper". She teaches him the value of a human life, and that one should live in order to repent for one's mistakes rather than die because of them. Through her, Train learns to love and care for other people as he too becomes a sweeper and travels with his partner Sven and the mysterious girl Eve. Visit the official website; http://www.funimation.com/blackcat/

Why it use 'Black Cat'? This reason is bringing "bad luck", and Train Heartnet's extremely quick movements and attacks, ever survived. So, this character has a name 'Black Cat' - was the most feared among assassins in the secret society Chronos.

In the world of Black Cat, Sweeper is a profession that specializes in capturing criminals for rewards. Sweepers are not unlike bounty hunters, they are licensed by the government and free to move about as they please and judge the justice when fight with enemies..I think that the Sweepers are not bad and just enjoy their freedom within need money to support their life.. Train Heartnet and his group worked as sweeper because they also need money to continue their lives, but sometimes they helped the poor and maintaining justice..

I think that this manga is very great story. It make me laugh when I read this manga :D I really like most character; Eve, who is a genetically engineered bio-weapon, but she also has a feeling of human..She is really clever and cute. :) She wants to grew up as strong like Train and his partner.. Train and his group will face the Chronos and best enemies in a war! Can they win? It is very sad when Train's most important girl is killed by bad person who betayed Chronos and want Train join his group...Sven and Eve were pretty good characters and they always like daddy and daugther..This story is really amazing! So I give Black Cat a 3.5 out of 5. :)

AIR TV

AIR
The days which are wrapped in the scene of summer and to pass gently
An encounter with the girls repeated in the sunlight
Summer continues to where as well
She is waiting in the air…


Summary:

Yukito Kunisaki is on a journey, seeking a girl with wings who flies in the sky, as mentioned in a childhood tale. During this journey, he settles down in a small town, trying to make some money. There, he meets a strange girl named Misuzu. Misuzu quickly makes Yukito as her friend and invites him to stay with her. Yukito decides to stay in the small town, and continue searching for the winged girl that his mother had searched for in his life.














It was enjoyable to see the complete story but I did feel sad at the ending. I think that Air has so many funny, happy and dramatic scenes that lifted all of human emotions. So, this anime are really crisp and amazing because CG-like visuals, backgrounds, and character animation that pays attention to detail. And the simple beauty of all the characters really shine in this anime. It's one of the best animations to come out on TV..My best friend said it really be great, and make her cry..But, I didn't cry, maybe because I don't listen any nice sound from AIR TV.. Wow, Yukito has his magic to control his puppet while he is doing a puppet show because he make some money to continue his llife..how he can control the puppets? who is him? He told Misuzu about he learned it from his mother.. His mother wished about meet the winged girl in one day, but, his mother passed away. That is why he want to continue find some truth about the winged girl..
