Specials # 1: Anime All Around!

Of course I never planned to post something like this.. and well "Anime All Around!" doesn't exactly suit this post... but anyway the title is "Anime All Around!" because I just thought that it was such a coincidence that some of my classmates watched the same thing I did...or did like it the same way, but anyway, I just wanted to post a list of anime titles that "I remember I watched" or "actually did recently" hehe... anyway I'll separate the recent from not so recent so that I don't confuse myself too much... =D

Song # 1: Sore ga, Ai Deshou (I Guess That's Love)

Sore ga, Ai Deshou (I Guess That's Love) from Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
Sung By: Mikuni Shimokawa
Anime: Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu, Opening Song
Source: animelyrics.com
Romanji Lyrics:
Tatoeba ne namida ga koboreru hi ni ha
Sono senaka wo hitorijime shitai kedo

Yasashisa ha tokidoki zankoku dakara
Motomeru hodo kotae wo miushinau

Ameagari no machi niji ga mieru nara
Ima arukidasou nani ka ga hajimaru

Kimi ga iru kara asu ga aru kara
Hitorikiri ja ikite yukenai kara
Konna ni chikaku ni kanjiru sore ga, ai deshou
Namida no kazu no itami wo kimi ha shitteru kara
Sukitooru sono me no naka ni tashika na imi wo sagashite
Egao mitsuketai

Nani mo iwanai de mo konna kimochi ga
Kimi no mune ni tsutawareba ii no ni

Sukoshizutsu machi ha iro wo kaeru kedo
Hora omoide ga mata hitotsu fueta

Kimi no kotoba no hitotsu hitotsu wo
Ima ha dakishimerareru kara kitto
Futari de kasaneatte iku sore ga, ai deshou
Dare mo shiranai ashita ga matte iru to shite mo
Daijoubu mou nakanai de
Kimi to te to te wo tsunaide
Aruiteku zutto

Futo shita shunkan tsunoru kimochi ja naku
Sukoshizutsu sodatete iku mono da ne
Aisuru kimochi ha

Kimi ga iru kara asu ga aru kara
Hitorikiri ja ikite yukenai kara
Konna ni chikaku ni kanjiru sore ga, ai deshou
Namida no kazu no itami wo kimi ha shitteru kara
Sukitooru sono me no naka ni
Tashika na imi wo sagashite egao mitsuketai

English Lyrics:
Even if there are days when the tears roll down my cheeks
I want to have your back all for myself, but

because kindness is also cruel sometimes
I lose sight of the answer the more I search for it

If you can see the rainbow in the town after the rain
let's start walking now, something is about to begin

Because I have you, because I have tomorrow
because I can't live on all alone
I feel you so close by me, I guess that's love
Because you know how much pain tears can bring
I want to find a smile in your transparent eyes
as I search for a definite meaning in them

Although it'd be good if these feelings found their way
into your heart without me needing to speak a word,

The colour of the town changes little by little but
see, our memories have again increased by one

Because now I can embrace every word that you said
I'm sure that we'll come closer to each other I guess that's love
Even if a tomorrow that nobody knows is waiting for us
it's all right, don't cry anymore
we'll join hands
and keep walking on forever

It isn't something that builds up in an instant
but a feeling that grows a little at a time,
the feeling called love

Because I have you, because I have tomorrow
because I can't live on all alone
I feel you so close by me, I guess that's love

Because you know how much pain tears can bring
I want to find a smile in your transparent eyes
as I search for a definite meaning in them

Notes: I've never seen the anime before.. this song is just in my anime playlist and well.. it really sounds good!!! This is Song # 1 for this month... I'll issue one song per month, then the downloadable version is up for one month.. Downloading ends on 2006.04.21! Download it here!!!!!!!!~

Story: It starts in the year 1969 in Japan, wherein Japan is seen as uundergoing an economic boom period. However, they seem to be attacked by a paranormal force (Invaders) that possess and transform humans into fighting creatures that are described as gray-faced, black-suited men with energy weapons. To prevent further damage from the Invaders, an Earth's defence force called AEGIS (Alien Extermination Global Intercept System) has been formed to find a team of teenagers with the power to open interdimensional portals (gates) that is used to summon massive energy. The story goes on as the invaders continue harming the humans and appears to be stronger in each encounter, and as AEGIS expands its members with a boy named Ukiya Shun leading them through the invaders' attacks.

Other notes from ME!: I like her personality.. as someone who loves to cook, is an excellent housekeeper and has an after school job as a janitor to help pay her tuition fees (since she doesn't want to be a burden on her grandfather). She's always polite, and is extremely kind and selfless; in fact, the other characters sometimes have to tell her that she needs to look out for her own interests....and is extremely happy..(she appears so to prevent from causing a burden and worrying other people)... I really like the way she always smiles...




and how she always cares for others...



even though she is very gullible...


...it seems that there is something that makes me want to like her more... I guess she really is different!



Character # 1: Yukino Houjo/u


Yukino Houjo/u from Gatekeepers

Born: July 14, 1169 (...I never knew she was born 14 too.. oh and the year is not really sure...)

Then there is the ability to freeze time where Yukino is able to prevent herself from aging.
Appearances: Gatekeepers (TV) and Gatekeepers 21
First Appearance: Gatekeepers - Episode 12: Fly to the North
Other Appearances in Gatekeepers (TV): Episode 20: Leap into the New Year, Episode 24: For Tomorrow's Smiles...
Quotes:
  • "If this is not the end of oblivion, then I shall live everyday as if my life were to end on this very day."
  • "Flowers of the cherry blossom bloom and fall, even as you watch. So it is with all those who quickly become no more. How bitter it is, that all I can do now is wait andwait even when all feelings inside me are like scenes of dusk. Everything disappears... peoples... words....even feelings.."
  • "To wait and wait and wait... To believe and believe and believe... Forget thee not for the reason I live on is for the day when my baby, my child comes home to me. Yonder north, geese sing their song, though their number is less than that which came without those who did not return. Travel to the house where the dead once lived, little singing bird. Only the sound from within is the sign of sorrow. And then only I am left behind to be alone once again. I wish I were a bird."
  • " I wanted to be bird. I consider the world to be easily distressed. Yet I cannot fly, unless I am a bird. But I can fly now. To here, to there, to beyond and wherever and still nowhere."
  • "The hopes you see, while in the realm of slumber are called dreams. So see the destitute world not with any substance."
  • "When you learn that the world is hollow, that is the time when sadness in you increases greatly. Everything disappears."
  • "Who knows where the wind who scatters flowers calls it home. Show me that place and I will sate my anger."
  • "Spring is in the air. Bright future is seen in the mountains."

Philippine Channels Playing it: Hero Channel
Other Notes from ME!: I never really thought we were so much alike.. I mean like the knee-length black hair she had...



and then the part that I love the color blue and violet on her eyes



but then.. I really just love the way she looks!!! Also the way I could look like her.. oh not really.. anyway.. =D


"teshinouyuki"..(2006.03.22)

Teshinouyuki means nothing in particular.. only that it's made up of the few words I really love to hear... or I really like...or has some meaning that is favorable to me!

  • "Tenshi" is found to mean "angel" in japanese.. and in teshinouyuki.. the letters of tenshi can be found in teshinouyuki although it's all jumbled up
  • "Yuki" is found to mean "snow" in japanese...although snow doesn't appear where I come from (Philippines..to remind you) well I really hope to be able to experience touching snow.. anytime in my future.. but well my love for "yuki" comes from my favorite anime character "Houjou, Yukino" (yukino first name) from the anime "Gatekeepers". She beholds the gate of ice and snow as she was trapped in time from when she remembers her most tragic past. Anyway I don't want spoilers soo soon.... in teshinouyuki... yuki is apparently in the end... as teshinouyuki =D (mind the color change)
  • the last letters are "ou" as for I really really admire the spelling of it.. like in houjou...youni...and well many more.. hehe =P this is something that I just love hearing..or spelling..lol anyway.. now you know what it means..

  • Okay then... other matters come in hand here! Teshinouyuki was supposedly a blog for anime matters.. but now I thought it still concerns anime.. but for a better purpose than "anime matters" I offer this site as to my knowledge in each anime.. I dunno if it would help okay.. but I advice for you not to trust each story as for I am no expert in this field.. (actually I'm just a student interested in each unique story of anime...)...to get to the basic point... this blog will contain the basic structures...(overview) of the anime I recently remembered... then I'll put up daily posts that would update each episode I remember.. but I'll caution you for spoilers anyway...
  • Hmm.. I've made some thinking... I have decided!! Yeah I have..about this blog anyway. so listen to my plans..ok? (1)First of all I decided to put up 4 categories of posts...(a)anime review...once a month, (b)character review...twice a month, (c)song download and lyrics...once a month, and lastly (d)special editions...probably things that "I know" from the anime (spoilers..lolx) or things "I thought" about the anime (my point of view...)...once in a while. (2)I plan to place the date / time check, for activities I did / changed in that current post... (3)I plan that for each month I'll choose a proper layout...I don't make layouts very well...trust me!...I just edit pre-made wallpapers.. okay sue me... :( but then I'll try my best to make my own!...once a month. and last of my plans..for now (4)I'll post some things to update the blog..Imean the next anime features, next song, next characters and etc.. just so I could post! hehe anyway...I'm sorry, the time I have for this isn't so nice 'cause I keep sleeping late just to post...hehe..so I limited the anime overviews.. and well the spoilers part 'aint that easy too....time check 2006.03.25 12:05 AM

Then and there... the whole blog makes sense does it not? I'll start tomorrow maybe.. anyway.. if you didn't understand... I'll just post a record of the story...plot and main characters (I'll research for their names..) -->for the no spoilers part... then i'll put up the things I know about the basic episodes.. I mean the things that concern the main characters and stuff... and also the whole point of the story.. details stuffies... -->that's for the with spoilers part...
