Got myself stuck at home most of the time over the weekend... Only headed to Changi City Point to have dinner on sat and then a meetup with friends earlier in the afternoon. I would say the food over at Changi City is not bad, though the quantity in some restaurant is slightly disappointing but overall the food quality is real good. Got my taste buds really burning over there.. sambal FTW! Went over to have a look at Chrisford too, the red electric guitar is really tempting. D: So gonna get a red one in the future, think a mustang's really too ex though :X Will see how it goes...
The new season has arrived! And together with the new series, the old ones are having a hyped up time with Eureka Seven Ao going on a hiatus after showing a glimpse of Renton and are showing the last 2 episodes back to back. Madoka-style perhaps? I would really say E7 Ao is really exceeding my expectations after each episode, it's just getting more and more exciting from here on. Hoping for a good ending too :) Sword Art Online is moving its pace back to the front lines and the Aincrad arc should end perhaps in the next episode. Removing the marriage part and fully develop the storyline and ending the series at the end of Aincrad arc would possibly be the best and show Kirito and Asuna reunited in the real world would make it a perfect ending IMO. That was quite some filler episodes in between for character development but I would definitely prefer more focus on its MMO-styled genre and story development and definitely more action. Would've appreciated it more if there were more revelations and more insights on skills such as Kiirito's dual wield ability.
Leaving them aside, over the weekend, we're greeted by 2 new series, an OVA and a new series on its on.
Shinsekai Yori
having watched the 1st episode, this series really seems promising. What had captured me was how mysterious the series turned out to be, with little or no explanation on how or what the world has become and no introduction of the story setting at all. It begins with a scene in today's world with people being killed off by special powers and the next moment, it revolves around a totally new world where little children already wield special powers. What captured me more was the OST used in the series. It was really epic and unique in its own way. Supernatural and mystery? Hell yeah i'm on the boat!
Code Geass Akito the Exiled
well well, an alternative story for Code Geass. This time with enhanced graphics. REALLY enhanced. And thankfully, the characters retained the character art from the 2 famous seasons years ago. Nostalgia FTW. Unfortunately the series is going to run for 5 episodes if i'm not mistaken, with a 51min 1st episode being aired. The knightmare designs retained their unique aspect of wheels except Akito's debut knightmare which was more like a transformer and more high tech. Plain story development on the 1st episode and a breakdown on the main characters, some actions here and there to complement the episode as a whole. I would honestly say i'm awed by the new graphics of knightmares in combat, macross quality is what i'm seeing in this code geass series. C.C. would be introduced in the 2nd episode as hinted by the preview, nothing much is revealed about Akito's geass (or being geass-ed). What I believe the series is lacking is the mission planning driven characteristics of code geass. All the planning by Lelouch to win battles were definitely the main key to code geass and currently that's not what I saw in this OVA. Perhaps they've relinquished that aspect but it'll be missed dearly.
Akatsuki no Kuruma - still a beautiful song up to now :)
Kazesasou kokage ni utsubusete naiteru
Mi mo shiranu watashi wo watashi ga miteita
Yuku hito no shirabe wo kanaderu GITAARA
Konu hito no nageki ni hoshi ha ochite
Yukanaide, donna ni sakende mo
ORENJI no hanabira shizuka ni yureru dake
Yawarakana hitai ni nokosareta
Te no hira no kioku haruka
Tokoshie no sayonara tsuma hiku
Yasashii te ni sugaru kodomo no kokoro wo
Moesakaru kuruma ha furiharai susumu
Yuku hito no nageki wo kanadete GITAARA
Mune no ito hageshiku kakinarashite
Aa kanashimi ni somaranai shirosa de
ORENJI no hanabira yureteta natsu no kage ni
Yawarakana hitai wo nakushite mo
Akaku someta suna haruka koete yuku
Sayonara no RIZUMU
Omoide wo yakitsukushite susumu daichi ni
Natsukashiku me fuite yuku mono ga aru no
Akatsuki no kuruma wo miokutte
ORENJI no hanabira yureteru ima mo dokoka
Itsuka mita yasurakana yoake wo
Mou ichido te ni suru made
Kesanaide tomoshibi
Kuruma ha mawaru yo
