Met a Crazy Guy in the Elevator Today

Today, I was stuck with a crazy guy in the elevator. Some of you may think I jumped too quick to such a conclusion. So I shall proceed to explain the observations which led me from speculating to concluding:

#1 He signaled to me to hold the elevator door by making a weird sound "Uwaaaah." I don't know how to exactly type it out but I can tell you that it sounded very much like Chewbacca from Star Wars. I would know because I have a key chain of Chewy and it makes the same sound.

#2 He thanked me excessively for holding the elevator:
"Thank you."
"No problem."
"Thank you so much."
-returns a small smile-
"You're so nice."
-pretends to check my watch-

#3 He dropped and caught his food dramatically and took a big step in to my side of the elevator.
"WHOA!"
-am startled-
"Did you see that?"
"Huh?"
"I almost dropped my poptart!"
-back further into my corner-

#4 He offers me food.
"Hey"
-looks up but doesn't say anything-
"Do you want a pop tart?"
"No thank you..."
"It's really good" -he take a bite still looking at me-
"Heylookhere'smyfloorbyenow!" -walks away rapidly in the direction away from my apartment unit so he doesn't find out where I live-

So you tell me. Am I just being suspicious?

Prince of Tennis Songs

I am so glad that I stuck through and decided to watch "Prince of Tennis" and all of their OVAs even though I already read the manga and know what will happen. Not only did I get to see the little chibi episode (which was funny as hell), I also got to listen to all the amazing music they use for openings and endings. After a little research, I found out that the voice actors of the anime worked together to create different bands to sing songs for the anime. In one of the fan DVDs, they did a marathon of 100 songs by the characters and bands they created. I absolutely love their voices! Especially, Kikumaru Eiji (Hiroki Takahashi has an amazing voice range! Look him up on youtube and you'll understand what I mean!) and Shiraishi Kuranosuke's (that Osaka dialect is just pure sexy in my opinion) voice. Anyways, I'll stop my rambling and get on with the few songs that I found awesome:

Wonderful Days (7th ending)- Pulltab to Can (Band formed by characters: Atobe Keigo, Kirihara Ayaka, Sengoku Kiyosumi, Sanada Genichirou, Kamio Akira, Ibu Shinji, and Ooshitari Yuushi)


Little Sky (8th ending)- Kentaro Fukushi


Hello& Goodbye (Nationals Arc OVA 1st Ending)- Kondou Kaoru


These next two are songs that the characters did and is not from the anime. Both of them are a play on the old and famous Japanese fishermen song "Soran Bushi". I think the lyrics are funny. Especially Shitenhouji which had many interesting characters lol.

Kiku-chan no Soran Bushi- Kikumaru Eiji


Naniwa no Soran Bushi- Everyone from Shitenhouji

Through some weird understanding, the two met Kim Joo-Won fell in love with Kil Ra-Im who wants nothing to do with him. Little did the two know that their faith had been set long before their meeting and that they were meant for each other.

Review:

At first I thought "Secret Garden was just going to be some cheesy love story where the rich guy fell in love with the poor girl and they'll eventually conquer all and live happily ever after. Wrong! Although the main plot is based upon that cheesy love story, the writers added many elements that would give the story a new twist.

First of all, there are supernatural factors involved. I would tell you more about this but it would spoil the story. But trust me! It made the story very interesting. Second, the writers did an amazing job with the creation of many colorful and interesting characters. As in most cases of rich spoiled characters, they are ignorant and arrogant. However, Kim Joo-Won's ignorance and stubbornness was waaaay out of my expected range lol. Even I was was surprised at how serious his prince complex was!

Overall, This series did a very good job in taking a clique plotline and making it more interesting. It was able to keep me guessing and stick to the series. Noe to mention the series also had a very beautiful soundtrack! I totally reccomand it!

That Woman- Baek Ji Young

Prince of Tennis



Summary:

"Prince of Tennis" is a story of growth and competition revolving around the students of Seigaku Middle School and their rookie star player, Echizen Ryoma. Seigaku is famous for their tennis team which had made it to the nationals many times in the past. Ryoma is a first year that just entered the tennis team. Within the first day of entering, he managed to piss off all the upperclassmen with his nonchalant attitude and his superior skills in tennis. Beating all of his upperclassmen during the placement matches, he becomes their rookie star player and join Seigaku's fight to win first in the nationals.

Review:

I've loved "Prince of Tennis" since it first came out in 2001! I read it every time a new chapter was translated and, like many people in Asia, became interested in the sport and joined the tennis team. After I joined the team I became so busy with practice and school that I stopped reading the manga (I played 1st for doubles btw)! Since I was in the midst of my sports manga and anime phase, I decided to check out "Prince of Tennis" again. It turns out that the first manga series ended a while ago and now Konomi sensei is working on the second series which revolves around all the middle school team banding together to fight the high school teams at tennis camp.

After finishing the manga series, I found that after so long, it is still an awesome series! Konomi sensei's art became very awesome! It's so amazing that he could come up with so many different characters for the series and each of them so unique! Also, Konomi sensei also did an awesome job on all the different tennis styles and techniques for each tennis player. Even though most of the techniques became sort of physically impossible after the middle of the series, it was still very creative and it gave me a good laugh!

I realized after reading up to the latest update for the new manga series, I still want more of Tenipuri! I started looking up fanbooks and am watching the anime series right now. From the fanbooks I was able to learn many interesting facts about the characters lol. For fan service, Konomi sensei also put out a couple of baby pictures of the characters. Here are the ones I have managed to find:

Hyotei's Atobe Keigo


St. Rudolph's Mizuki Hajime


Rikkaidai's Yagyuu Hiroshi


Higa's Tanishi Kei


Shitenhouji's Oshitari Kenya


and finally, our Seigaku star, Echizen Ryoma


I've been looking all over to collect these "Premium photos". If anyone of you come across these pictures of other characters or of better quality please send me the link!!!

Well, I hope I've said enough about "Prince of Tennis" to strike your interest! As usual, I'll end this post with some Tenipuri anime openings!
