My Favourite Anime

I'll post something not related to Opera, yet again. So here are my favourite animes in no particular order.

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien - Rumbling Hearts

Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is a drama driven romance based upon its PC eroge by Age. Its story centers on the love triangle between two girls and a guy that grow up together in high school. But one day, tragedy strikes, and all their lives are changed forever. Kimi ga Nozomu Eien is about how these characters cope with tragedy and their decisions affecting their future.




Midori no Hibi - My Days With Midori

Sawamura Seiji is THE delinquent at his school fighting day after day. Of course everyone, especially girls, is scared of him. As such he never had a girlfriend and got rejected for the 20th time. At this evening sitting at home he thinks: "The only lover I'll ever have is my right hand. I desperately wish I had a girlfriend!" And WOOSH!... From this time on Kasugano Midori, who had secretly admired him since Middle School, is stuck to his right hand!!!




Koukyoushi Hen: Eureka Seven - Eureka Seven

An aeon has passed since human beings were driven from the Earth. After much searching for a place to live in peace, they finally discovered the Land of the Covenant. It was a desolate planet; its surface covered by a substance similar to coral, and a hitherto unknown ion called Traver filled the air. They settled upon this planet, and built huge towers in order to use Traver effectively. Under these towers, countries were established, and the United States of the Towers was founded to unify them...




Kenpuu Denki Berserk - Berserk

A mysterious warrior calling himself The Black Swordsman is out to get the King of a country called Midland. As he battles the king's henchmen, their cries of pain and the spilling blood take this relentless warrior's mind back in time to the path that led him to his current state.
On just any day, a pack of hooligans are harassing a young lady in distress when all of a sudden, they're under attack. The Black Swordsman has returned. He wields a giant sword as large as his grudge against the king. When alone in the woods, the Black Swordsman has a flash back to years past and his trials and tribulations in the Band of the Hawk, a successful band of mercenaries under the charismatic leadership of Griffith, a man driven by the ambition to become king.




Bleach

Kurosaki Ichigo is not a regular 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see spirits and ghosts. One day, a female Shinigami (God of Death) named Kuchiki Rukia appears before him, hunting for an evil spirit. But during the confrontation, the Shinigami's powers are transfered to Ichigo. Thus begins the adventures of Ichigo and Rukia and their mission to herd Hollows (fallen spirits) as well as confronting other spiritual beings.




Elfen Lied

The diclonius, otherwise known as a two-horned human, are mutants of the human species, may well be the next step in human evolution. The diclonius have horns and strong telekinetic powers represented by "arms". However with this great power, they can easily destroy the human race. Fearful of their power, humans quarantined the diclonius into secret research facilities to study. However, in a freak accident, a enraged female diclonius escaped, killing many guards in the process. Interesting enough, the female escapee appears to have suffered amnesia after her escape and floated to Yuigahama of Kamakura city. There, she meets two people named Kouta and Yuka, who name the female diclonius "Nyuu", and decide that they all should live together.




Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - When They Cry

On one hot summer day in 1983, a transfer student named Maebara Keiichi comes to a peaceful rural village in Hinamizawa. There, he befriends his classmates Rena, Mion, Rika, and Satoko. Accepted as a full-fledged member of the "club," Keiichi and the gang plays all sorts of activities ranging from card and board games to hide-and-seek. But just as Keiichi was beginning to be assimilated in simple rural life, he stumbles upon the dark history of Hinamizawa. As Keiichi dives deeper into the mystery, he finds that his new found friends may not be all what they claim to be.
