快感 フレーズ Kaikan Phrase

Plot:
After the break up of their old band, guitarist Yuki & drummer Santa decide to form a new one. They recruit bass player Towa, young guitarist Atsuro, and after much persuasion, vocalist Sakuya. Together they form Lucifer and they struggle to make it in the music business, and also to stay together. As well, they have to deal with personal issues, such as parental objections, and watching their old bands succeed ahead of them. Sakuya is the most troubled band member, as he has to deal with his tragic past, and his relationship with teenaged lyricist Aine. - http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.au/



My thoughts:

I really like this anime.

I like that we are able to see how each member of Λucifer leaves an impression on the other musicians they meet.
I think it is good to see how Sakuya's character grows, thanks to the influence he has from not only the other members of Λucifer but also from Aine.

This anime is great, It is good in showing to us, the realistic aspect of the music industry, to which we are able to gain an insight.This is not only of the business side of music but also, the heartache and trials the band has to face in order to make it in the industry, with the valuable support and encouragement they provide to one another.

We are also able to witness each of the members growth as musicians, however the growth we see is not merely limited to their talents as musicians, but is also inclusive of the ongoing growth within the individual, to become the person they are today.

The progression we see both musically and characteristically; which we see occuring to each of the individual members, is what makes it so believable to the viewers, that Λucifer are one of the greatest bands we will ever encounter.

When we first meet Ralph of Metro Records, I felt this was a petty man, The lengths he is going to, to bring the distruction of Λucifer is petty. I often thought it would be much more beneficial to him and his company if he were to use Λucifer's popularity to his advantage as he could have found many ways in which their association with one another could be beneficial to Metro Records.
However, his feelings for Λucifer and especially his unwillingness to not lose to Sakuya, made me suspicious of his relationship with Sakuya. Which I was right to be, as I just knew there was something more to their relationship than being mere rivals in the business world.

I thought it was good how they incorporated both the real life and anime band into the credits (*^_^*)b

Kuroshitsuji II

Plot:
In late-nineteenth century England, one year and three months after the dramatic conclusion of the original series, Kuroshitsuji II introduces a new butler and young master. The sadistic yet cheerful Alois Trancy has faced some harsh times. He was kidnapped as a baby, and was forced to work in a village as a slave. Gradually, he lost his parents, his best friend, and everyone he knew. Alois eventually returned home and became the head of his mansion, but seemed to exhibit some strange behavior ever since. Even more curiously, he returned with Claude Faustus, an enigmatic, emotionless butler with unfathomable talent...

My thoughts:
I like the characters of the Phantomhive household, they're alot of fun, Sebastian is deffinately my favourite character, he is cool, funny, and just so damn awesome. So you can imagine how I felt seeing Claude (Even his name is lame) comes along and they're trying to make us think of him as being just as awesome as Sebastian, erm yeah it ain't happening, and whats with trying to put Claude vs Sebastain? O_o,

Sebastian kicked so much ass in the first series, he has to win now too.

So yeah I didn't like this other butler.

I also don't like this other master Alois, He is just annoying, and a bratt in a bad way, I prefer my bratts to be; with the evil side to them, and sideways smirk & like Ciel Phanomhive himself,

If you're gonna be a bratt you need to be cool / awesome too. Alois is neither.

I also didn't like that after everything Alois had been through with the older man, that he would act in the manner in which he did with his servants.

I just don't want to believe someone with such experiences would behave in a similar fashion. owever its a sad truth that such things do happen, so I guess I have to give credit to the anime for acknowledging that.

I did find the second series a disappointment. The first would be ranked up there in my favourite Animes but I'm not quite sure if this would make the cut.

Than being said
It was enjoyable

For me this just wasn't on par with the first series, I could watch an episode and then be eager to watch the next but, this series I don't feel the same way.

It is unfortunate really
but atleast it is worth watching and I could enjoy it.
I just feel that i'm waiting for Sebastian to just come out and kick some ass, since we already know he would pwn everyone in the anime if he tried to even just a little.

I regret what i've said!!!,

After watching the last couple of episodes, this anime is great.

I felt so sorry for Sebastian at the end though & also the Prince because Ciel was one of his only friends and you could see he valued him alot.
But oh no Sebastian I hope Ciel will not be too cruel.

Porco Rosso

Plot:
The film tells of the story of Porco and his would-be romance with Gina, who runs a sea pilots' club and hotel in the Adriatic Sea. The plot revolves around Porco's friendship with a girl named Fio, who is a talented aircraft engineer, and his rivalry with a hotshot American pilot named Curtis. Porco has been cursed with the face of a pig, though the origin and nature of the curse is never fully explained.





Originally a World War I ace pilot in the Italian Air Force, Porco has grown disillusioned and now makes his living as a bounty hunter guarding ships in the Adriatic sea from pirate gangs with planes. Though rivals, Porco and the pirates manage to coexist with a minimum of bloodshed. For relaxation, he and other pilots spend their evenings on neutral ground at the Hotel Adriano, the establishment run by Gina. ~http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Porco_Rosso


My thoughts:
When I decided to watch this movie, I thought I wouldn't really like it as much as I did.




Studio Ghibli yet again has surprised me and made me happy.




Everytime I saw that this movie would be on television, I always missed it, therefore when the opportunity arised I happily watched this movie, and must say I am glad I did.
