Wolf Girl Black Prince

Assalamualaikum, hi

This is the latest anime I'd watched. Wolf Girl Black Prince or also known as Ookami Shoujo to Kuro Ouji . The storyline is pretty smooth and cool. All I felt at first was anger towards the idiotic Kyoto whom doesn't give any fuck about others and Erika.... hell with her personality. Too.... disturbing, annoying. But later after going through episode 3, the plot and everything become more interesting. Seriously, it is sooooo romantic when a guy like Kyoto give his all just to say the simple thing like "I love you" and give compliments to Erika. I will not spoil it any more.*hehehe* This is one of the best shoujo that I've had ever watched so far. 

p/s : I'd watched it at kissanime.com . Enjoy !

Mary and Max

Assalamualaikum, hi.

Mary and Max;by Adam Elliot is a movie based on a true story. Quoted in Star Observer in its post dated March 31st 2009, Adam Elliot stated that Max is actually based on his real penfriend in New York, who he's been writing to for over 20 years. This Max man inspired him to write the script and directed this awesome animated movie. He didn't changed much about Max's life in the movie since Max is anonymous. Anyway, about this movie; it can really captured anyone's heart as it's never fail to make me cry. 

Mary Daisy Dinkle (MARY) lives a very lonely life in Australia. At school she is teased by her classmates because of her birthmark on her forehead and her teacher constantly ask her to put a smile on her; while at home her father is kind of a weirdo and always being distance;and her mother is an alcoholic and not support her enough. S basically, Mary has a very low self esteem. Max Jerry Horowitz (MAX) in the other hand is a morbidly obese Jewish atheist who has trouble forming close bonds with others due to various mental and social problems.

Her mother disapprove her friendship with Max; but giving that he is the only close friend she got *except for The Noblets and her pet rooster* they eventually quickly and still become friends due to their shared love of chocolate and The Noblets. In their friendship, Mary's letter initially gives Max several anxiety attack; which later been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. And then, the saddest part of the movie came! *tears*

Mary's father died because he had been swept away by a big tidal bore while on a beach and later after Mary got her ass in-to the university and has her birthmark surgically removed, her mother accidently killed herself after she drinks a poisonous fluid which she mistaken for cooking sherry. And get this. After married to her crush; Damien . . . Her husband left her for his pen-pal friend, a sheep farmer in New Zealand named Desmond. WHICH IS ALSO A MAN! OMG! This left Mary being depressed all by herself and she even decides to commit suicide; unaware that she is pregnant with Damien's child.

A year later, Mary travels to New York with her baby to finally visit Max. Entering his apartment, only to know that Max on his couch, gazing upward with a smile on his face, having passed away earlier that day (T^T) Looking around the apartment, Mary is awestruck to find all the letters she had sent to Max over the years laminated and taped to the ceiling * he even still have Mary's 'tears for Max' *. Max situation;gazing at all the letters given by Mary when he dies and seeing how much Max had valued his friendship with Mary makes me cry. A LOT! 

*Thank you for reading. Until then, xoxo*

p/s: This is one of the 'must watch' animated movie that based on a true story that everyone have to watch. Eventhough the storyline is kinda slow, if you're patience enough to enjoy every bits of it, you'll find the joys in friendship here, inside the movies.  

Paprika

Hi, Assalamualaikum.

Since I am still waiting for my last semester's result, there's a thought of watching anime came across my mind. So after an hour or two at the Popular and MPH; searching for a good anime to watch, I finally decided to buy an anime - movie entitled PAPRIKA originally written by Yasutaka Tsutsui.

After watching Paprika, I wonder how I can let this movie slipped from my favourite anime. It's a really good movie! It's about a woman-doctor named Doctor Atsuko Chiba; begins using a machine called "DC-Mini" (that allows the user to see other's dream) illegally to help psychiatric patients outside the research facility, using her alter-ego "Paprika", a sentient persona that she assumes in the dream world.

Much later in the movie, dreams and reality finally merged. The dream parade is running amok in the city and reality started to unravel. There is no one but the two ladies, Paprika and Chiba that can save the world. This is a movie that shows truly the power of a woman. A woman can do so much, in dream and reality. Just imagine how much we can do if we are together :p

Anyway, you're all should watch this movie. Storyline, technical and everything inside the movie is sure good and can change your mood. Mr Yasutaka Tsutsui sure did a great job in this!


p/s : I got 3 As so far. One more A and I'm good with 4.0 :D

Step By Wicked Step

Assalamualaikum, hi.

So I've been busy doing chores at home and I've had found this one short novel written by Anne Fine entitle Step by Wicked Step. It is a story of a modern children tell that resonate with readers. The book is not about solving problems but about simply dealing with them. All of the children get a chance to express themselves in the novel. But my favourite chapter would be chapter 4 "Collin's story: The Bluebird of Happiness".

Throughout Collin's story, I can see how much love he poured for his stepfather whom he called dad and has had thought of him as his real father all this while because they're both look alike and his dad was always with him; makes him tea, took him to the park and walks him to school and back. Here we know that his stepfather did love him too as he's giving many nickname to him.

After his mother took him away from his father, I can see that Collin was almost depress because at school no one understand him and his mother is so busy working; she don't has time to listen to him. So, here I can see that Collin has no one, except the memories of his step father that he loves so much. By seeing how much Collin wants to reunite with his step father can breaks anyone heart as his mother don't want him to do so - I just found that it's beautiful when a son loves his father this much; even his father is not his biological father.

More to say about the book, it shows that sometimes children are so sophisticated in their insight; becoming merely a mouthpiece for the message, but the way they think and feel is on target. There's recognization of frustration and desire of every children held in their hand and heart. Parents should be in their children's shoes before make any decisions that they think might be the best for them.
