Merging Two Worlds for Peace

Hello everyone. ^_^ This is Candice posting in this random blog yet again. Today I want to write about another game-based anime from the Tales series. This time it'll be about none other than Tales of Symphonia!! XD It's based on a game with the same name for the GameCube system. There's also sequels to it as well as for the game (I think it's available for the Nintendo Wii). This anime is totally and absolutely recommendable. I really enjoyed watching it and I couldn't stop watching it until I finished. I think it was totally worth the time watching it. Even if Tales of Symphonia has its sad moments it contains a very beautiful message in it. However, I can't decide on which one is better: Tales of the Abyss or Tales of Symphonia... o_o'
Tales of Symphonia is basically about Lloyd and his friend, Genis, and teacher, Reine (who is Genis's sister), who try to save Colette. Colette was the Chosen One to become an angel to save the world they live in. In order to do so they must travel with Colette and a mercenary, Katos, to the place where she becomes and angel (I don't really remember the name of it o_o). Then after Colette nearly becomes an angel, though she almost loses her being, she must recover her soul in some way. Then they travel to a parallel world. There they meet new friends that try to help Lloyd save Colette and the world without any sacrifices. They all eventually discover all sorts of secrets, especially why the two worlds were split and what were the angels were trying to do with Colette.
Well, sorry for the lousy summary. This story is simply too long to write it in a short way. Just as a mentioned before, I recommend you my dear readers to watch it. I wish to share something with you guys but I couldn't find anything in good conditions, so my apologies to you. Hope you enjoy this anime as much as I did XD

AMNESIA

Hey there guys. This is Candy posting once again in this blog. ^_^  I hope my recent problem with my old account is over. The means I'm posting with a new one. That reminds me that I must tell you not to add anyone with my name or with this address: candy.lai.chau@gmail.com in anything, not even Facebook. +__+ Oh yeah sorry if I didn't come up with a creative title for this post XI

Alright back to the topic. Today I wanted to write about an otome game-based anime from the well-known Idea Factory that came out not so recently this year. The anime I'm going to write about is none other than AMNESIA. To be honest I've never played the game because I don't have a PlayStation 2. I personally think that it was worth to watch it, but I wouldn't say that it was one of my favorites. But let's take into consideration that I'm not used to watching romantic stuff or anything of the sort. I watched it because some friend of mine suggested it. I would still say it's fun to watch and recommendable (highly) especially to those who like romance to say the least.

Alright, AMNESIA is basically about a female protagonist (whose name, ironically, is never mentioned o_o' so let's call her Heroine) who loses her memory while she worked in the cafe as a waitress. She wakes up and sees a spirit called Orion, who helps her out with what to say as the girl lost her memories. Orion can be seen, talked to, and heard only by the main character. The girl's coworker tells her that someone came to pick her up. Then two guys, Shin and Toma, come in to take the girl back to her house, but she does not recognize them as she has amnesia. She and her coworkers - including Shin and Toma and two other guys, Ikky and Ken -  (and the manager) are preparing to go for a trip. Heroine gets what she think is a flashback of Shin telling her that killed a man (well, Shin never mentioned who) and thinks Shin did it. During the trip everyone (the cafe staff) went out at night to watch a meteor shower. Heroine and Shin are left alone and Heroine gets scared enough from Shin to run off from a cliff (accidentally though). She wakes up in a hospital and sees that the date is August 1. Shin tells her that they are actually dating and later on Heroine suffers a car accident. She wakes up in her room and sees that it's still August 1. And that happens with the other guys. Woah, so far she has 4 different boyfriends o_o' Lucky you! Well I won't tell the end 'cuz I'm no good storyteller. Ayways I'll share the first episode with you guys which I don't own. Enjoy XD

Another Hetalia episode

Hey there guys, this is Candy posting again in this blog. Since I don't have much to talk about lately I'll be sharing another Hetalia episode with you guys, you know, to not to make this silence too long and banal. This episode I'm sharing is from the World Series special episodes, if my memory serves me right right now, I hope you are all aware that there is already a fifth season out a long time ago, I think even before I started this blog. I don't won anything from this episode, which means that credit must go to Himaruya Hidekaz (creator of Hetalia) and other people I don't know about. By the way, this one isn't subbed, so I'm totally sorry about it. If you want it subbed, I'm afraid you'll have to look for it somewhere else. Enjoy X)

Spring of Birth

Hey there dear readers, this is Candy posting here once again!! ^_^ This time I'll be posting about another Shin Megami Tensei series update. Recently it has been announced that there will be a film adaptation of Persona 3!! + o + It has been revealed that it'll be aired in Japan this fall. However, I'm not sure if this film will be released in North America, and, if so, when will it be released. Persona 3: Spring of Birth is based on the Persona 3 video game for PlayStation 2 platform. Well, that's all I can tell you about this new movie, but I promise to give out more information as soon as I get them. Anyways, I will share the official trailer with you, which I don't own.

The Last Hope for Mankind

Hey there people from around the world = ^ o ^ = This is Candice posting again in this random blog XD Today I will write about an upcoming game in English version. Well, actually the Japanese version was out a long time ago, but this game will be available in the United States in April 23 and in Europe in April 24. This game is none other than Black Rock Shooter The Game!!! +.+ However, it won't be available in Canada nor in Mexico. It is an RPG game for the PSP platform. 
Since I don't own a PSP (which means I won't be able to play this game - and, therefore, won't really know much of the plot), but at least I sort of know what's about, and  I'll tell you what I know. But if you want a more objective information I suggest you read at other sources. It's basically about an apocalyptic world in the distant future in this same planet. There's an alien invasion lead by an unknown alien, force, or whatever. There's a scientist who work on human cloning, and a famous singer from San Francisco, whose name is Sing Love,  volunteers to be the subject. The first clone was successful but did not reach fully what he expected. She (the clone) is named Nana Gray. The second clone was a total success and reached full expectations. THis second clone was names Stella Gray (code name: Black Rock Shooter). Then both sisters are sent out there to fight the alien invasion. There are a total of 8 bosses that the player must defeat. Then at the end BRS realizes that the final boss (White Rock Shooter - WRS) was none other than the famous singer Sing Love and that she was the original one.
I'll be sharing the trailer for the game, which I don't anything of it. Enjoy XD By the way I'll be sharing the opening theme of the Japanese version too, which I don't own either.

Time Waits For No One

Hello to you my friendly readers! This is Candy posting in this random blog again! ^_^ Today I'll be writing about another movie directed by the famous Mamoru Hosoda! This movie is called The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and is based on a book with the same title written by Yasutaka Tsutsui. This is one of the very few romantic films/series I really liked and enjoyed. I think this movie is worth watching and, as always, I'll be giving you a brief (brief=lousy in my own world) summary of the movie. I highly recommend this movie. It contains funny scenes as well as heart-breaking ones.
Makoto Konno, a high school girl, is the one starring this movie. This movie is basically about this girl who, by accident, gains the ability of time leaping thanks to a tiny device. She realizes that by jumping into dangerous places (e.g.: jumping out from the window, jumping down to a stream, jumping from a very high diving platform, etc.) she can time leap to avoid undesirable outcomes. She time leaps mostly to help her best friends, Chiaki Mamiya and Kosuke Tsuda, getting them up for romantic relationships or avoiding dangerous events. Chiaki confesses his feelings to Makoto but she time leaps to prevent that from happening. Makoto realizes that she had a limited amount of times she could time leap. After successfully helping Kosuke getting him a girlfriend, Kaho Fujitani, (well, actually was the way around), Kosuke borrows Makoto's bicycle. However that bicycle's brakes were failing. Hence, Kosuke and Kaho get run over by a train. Makoto had no time leaps left, but, unexpectedly, she is able to stop time. Then Chiaki appears to her and tells her that he came from the future and that he was also able to time leap, and uses his last one to save Kosuke and Kaho, then vanishes (because he had broken the rule where no one could know about time leaping - something like that). There on, Makoto realizes that avoiding Chiaki's confessions was worthless and fortunately, since Chiaki time leapt, Makoto still had one opportunity to time leap and uses it to get Chiaki back.
Well that's what's basically about. I'll be sharing the trailer, which I don't own anything from it. Hey, almost forgot! Devil Survivor 2 The Animation will be out for Japan on April 4. Enjoy and until next time!! >_<
