Oh well, now that that's done, I've got some free time for a while since for these 2 weeks, we're having our break. So, for those who're bored, or already are, I'm gonna introduce some animes to watch and manga to read today to make up for not posting for so long. Forgive me if I've talked about these animes before.
Anime
Bamboo Blade
This anime's about Toraji Ishida (nickname: Kojiro), a kendo teacher at Muroe High. His senpai, who is also a kendo club instructor, makes a bet with him, betting a year's supply of free sushi against a trophy. They challenge their respective kendo club's girl teams to see who is the better instructor. Kojiro, whose club has only 2 member left, has to find another 3 girls to form his team.
My take on this anime: interesting with good laughs.
Clannad
Though the story originates from a H-game, story-wise, this is a good anime. It has funny jokes and is touching at times.
Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student who dislikes his life. However, Tomoya finds that his life is about to change when he meets Nagisa. Tomoya's mother Atsuko died when Tomoya was young, leaving his father Naoyuki to raise him. After the accident, Tomoya's father turned to alcohol and gambling, and held frequent fights with his son. One day, Naoyuki, again arguing with his son, slammed Tomoya against the wall, dislocating Tomoya's shoulder. Ever since then, his father has treated Tomoya nicely, but distantly, as if Tomoya and he were strangers rather than a family. This hurts Tomoya more than his previous relationship with his father, and the awkwardness of returning home leads Tomoya constantly to stay out all night. Additionally, the injury disables Tomoya from participating in his basketball club, and pushes him to distance himself from his school and other activities. Thus his delinquent life begins.
Tomoya's psychology is further developed in his dreams of a bleak world. In the first few dreams of that kind, he sees a world which is devoid of all people except for this one girl, whom is never shown but is spoken of. Each time he dreams he finds out more about the world. Later on, Tomoya finds out that the girl has a special ability to fuse junks together to create new things, with which she creates a body for him. Thus he is reborn in this world, and fills time following the girl around. Tomoya conceives that only the two of them are "alive".
To pass time, Tomoya and the girl try to build another doll with more junk they find, but as it has no soul, it fails to come to life. Eventually, winter sets in, and the girl becomes cold to the point where she cannot move any more. Remembering a distant world where he came from, Tomoya convinces the girl to build a ship so that the two can escape the winter and continue a happy life. However, their flight is doomed to meet tragedy
The above summary is from here
My version: the story is about Tomoya, a 3rd year, and his 'interactions' with 5 girls which he meets.
Well, that's it for anime reviews from me for now. The next part, I'll only say what anime is worth watching(to me at least) but I won't give a review.

And that wraps up this post...
Extra:
Oh yea, I forgot this part that I wanted to talk about. Quite a while back already, I changed parts of my blog. Like shifting the hit counter to above the posts, changing the picture at the top of the blog and shifting the music player all the way down to the bottom of the blog.
Also, I included a new song into my playlist, Kokoro no Tamago, from the anime Shugo Chara. It's really, really cute, I can't get enough of it XD
