The Piano Forest was quite an amazing animation movie but there wasnt like a climax and some people might find it dull too. But i still enjoyed it with all those wonderful music pieces and of course it had led to some life lessons as well.

if ur eyes had been sharp (or not) i've reached the 3rd season of Minami-ke and enjoying every single episode up to now... slice of life animes are just great, like Lucky Star, but its more on a normal life of a family. Shana's 3rd season should be coming up somewhere end of this year after seeing it somewhere on the net and Haruhi is having a re-run of the 1st season in April XDDD

[ISM Flight 2 Anime]

Clannad After 17

Tomoya has been working non-stop for five years now and even ignoring his higher-ups that asks him to take a break once in a while. He continues to spend his free time playing arcades and wasting his money and starts to hate the city. Tomoya still thinks that it was all wrong to have met Nagisa and marrying her in the end. Sanae comes to visit Tomoya the next day and asks him to go out with her. While eating, Sanae asks Tomoya if he would like to go on a trip with everyone. Tomoya hesitated and told her that he'll think about it. Sanae calls him right after he reaches home to asks him for his decision and kept calling until Tomoya had no choice but to give in. He arrives at the bakery but sees no one there. Tomoya goes to the table where a note is left by Sanae telling Tomoya that Akio and her had to leave for some matters and 2 tickets were left behind as well. Tomoya goes upstairs and starts thinking about Nagisa when he sees a small figure running and hiding away from him. Tomoya then calls out to her daughter, Ushio. Ushio apparently was looking for Sanae and Akio but Tomoya tells her that they were gone and asks her to play herself. After helping to fix the toy that Ushio broke, it later spoiled again before Tomoya went out to get something to eat, not knowing that Ushio had followed him as well. Akio and Sanae did not return that night and Tomoya and Ushio waited in the bakery the next day before Tomoya suggests that they go on the trip together. Ushio says that she does not mind going on a trip with Ushio and leaves with Tomoya. Tomoya then looks at Ushio and thinks that it was the first time the two of them were alone after him leaving Ushio in Sanae's care five years ago.

*Ushio's darn cute XDDDD it was quite different from the movie as well and it was kind of a cheerful episode. Sadly Tomoya still does not pay much attention to Ushio though... Ushio has not called Tomoya "father" either... the next episode seems like Tomoya could not take it and left Ushio behind?! gosh, hopefully there isnt any light orbs or such...*
