YoU — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 14:07:21 +0000

According to a Nico Nico Douga program named Bushiroad Strategy Presentation 2011 SP (ブシロード戦略発表会2011SP, Bushiroad HP) streamed yesterday, original Anime series Ano Natsu de Matteru (あの夏で待ってる) was confirmed to be a TV Anime series which will be aired in January 2012, this Winter, with around 13 episodes. We mentioned the Anime announcement of the series last week and recently, the official website was put online with few information.

The series is a collaboration work of Taraku Uon (羽音たらく) and Yosuke Kuroda (黒田洋介), who acts as a character designer and scenario writer respectively. Strong confidence in the series when mentioning the name of Yosuke Kuroda, who also wrote scenario for Gundam 00. MyCom has a post written for the known three main characters. Stay tuned and we will bring more about the story.

Gundam 00 TV Anime Ends, Movie Announced

YoU — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 03:02:14 +0000

The 2nd season of TV Anime series Gundam 00 finished. At the end of the last episode (25), the movie was announced to be on stage in January, 2010, that is, one year later. You can have a detailed information on Anime News Network and I will bring some updates when possible.

In the last episode, most scenes are the fight between Setsuna and Ribbons Almark who drives his new Gundam (the above image).

When both Gudams are approaching the point of destroy, Setsuna and Ribbons switch to their old Gundams.

The war ended, Marina Ismail again becomes the queen of Kingdom of Azadistan. Wonder what’s the relationship between Setsuna and Marina, of course, Setsuna and Feldt. Love the scene between Setsuna and Feldt in the previous episode when Feldt presented the flower to Setsuna. The shy look on her face is so cute.

Marina becomes the queen of the Kingdom. Among all those couples in the series, I am interested very much in Louise Halevy and Saji Crossroad. Both are from the normal and peaceful background and are forced to join the cruel war and later even fight against each other.

The below couples really surprised me in the first place.

Sorry, it seems that I am posting couples shots. But to be frankly, after the cruel war, all people left turns out to be the marriage, and to remember those who have already passed away. Some people can be happy, some can be sad, and suddenly remind me of the famous line of the recent finished Anime series The Tower of Druaga: the Sword of URUK, “anyone go back to their hometown to get married?”

Interested in the below screenshot. On the right side there seems to be a new type of weapon. Wondering whether it will appear in the movie next year.

The two friends seem interesting to me. A scientist and a pilot, supporting each other.

The two Lockon Stratos. I had thought that Ali Al-Saachez will be killed by Setsuna, but I was wrong. The feeling of revenge seems getting far away from Setsuna when he started to transfrome into a Innovators and since then Setsuna’s power is far above Ali Al-Saachez.

Allelujah Haptism and Soma Peries, or should I say Marie Parfacy? But now, it doesn’t really matter how we call her, Alleluja’s gonna accept both of them.

This scene tells us that the story has not ended yet.

Would very much like to know what will happen between Setsuna and Feldt, and also wonder when Feldt started to like Setsuna.

The last scene of the series annouces, Gudam will be back!

Gundam 00 Insert Song: Unlimited Sky

YoU — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 15:27:19 +0000

I’ve heard this insert song a in some previous episodes but failed to consider it as an outstanding track. I was wrong. The track Unlimited Sky, performed by Tommy heavenly6,Â is as good as you can imagine. As for the Anime, the story of the second season of Gundam 00 is approaching towards the end (all together 25 episodes) and I feel quite nervous and exciting when I am watching some recent episodes. And to all those female friends poking around TheAkiba, Happy Woman’s Day!

Yuna Ito: trust you

YoU — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 11:06:06 +0000

The new ending track of Gundam 00 2nd Season was released. Voiced by Yuna Ito (伊藤由奈), the track first sounds like a rap song and later falling from heaven, sadly. The tune reveals the sorrow and I really think the story will have a bad ending, that is, all the protagonists die in the end. Anyway, nice song.

For preview, check out the old post here.

Tracklist:

trust you
Brand New World
恋はgroovy×2 -DJ-PASSION MORE PASSION REMIX-
trust you -instrumental-

Stephanie: Pride ~A Part of Me~

YoU — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:48:07 +0000

Stephanie‘s (ステファニー) latest Single Pride ~A Part of Me~, selected as the theme song of the film Pride, which is based on Yukari Ichijo‘s (一条ゆかり) shoujo manga, and in which she debuted as an actress.

We should not be unfamiliar with this singer since she has already Mobile Suit Gundam 00′s ED2 Friends (フレンズ). The first track of the Single Pride ~A Part of Me~ is an outstanding track voiced by the two heroines of the film, and the second one is the solo version of Stephanie.

Tracklist:

Pride～A Part of Me～feat.SRM
Pride～A Part of Me～Stephanie only ver.
KISSES
Changin’ Double Piano Mix

Gundam 00 2nd Season ED2: trust you

YoU — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:28:23 +0000

Oops, now we all know that the ED2 is not the chorus one I talked about few days ago. Compared with the new OP, I’m more in favor of the ED which has a little bit rap like style, smooth rhythm and rhythm and rhyme. The track is voiced by Yuna Ito (伊藤由奈) who seems to be known by lots of people.

Check out the post here to get the full version.

Note: the track will be released on March 4th. 2009, looks like there’s a long time to wait.

Gundam 00 2nd Season OP2: Namida no Mukou

YoU — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:59:41 +0000

Someone might get confused about the image above (not sure why I capture this one^^) and it’s not some kind of opening song of eroge but the new OP of the second season of Mobile Suit Gundam 00. The track is called Namida no Mukou (泪のムコウ, Across from the Tears in Japanese) voiced by Stereopony (ステレオポニー), schedules to release on 11th. February. To me, the track is not very attractive and the OP1 is better for me.

And about the new ED, not sure whether it is the chorus one but it sounds nice. Tell me if you know.

Check out the post here to get the full version of the Single.

Tracklist:

Namida no Mukou (泪のムコウ)
ステレオポニーの旅は続く (It means Stereopony’s travel will continue, not usre^^)
Untitled (未定)
Namida no Mukou (instrumental)
