Guilty Crown 14: Thoughts

So what's my void reading Shu?

IT'S OVER 9000!!! XD

Shu?  Is that really you?

Looks like this weeks episode was an instant hit.  Finally, the plot seems to be going somewhere again. Not to mention that Shu has become even sexier now that he's gotten more of his confidence back. (That's it Shu. Believe in yourself!  You could be a king!)  It used to be that Shu had always shown leadership qualities as a kid. But ever since that "black christmas" incident, that all went away.  Thanks to Gai, he was given the chance to be himself again.

The device . . I think I'll just call it a scouter (DBZ is still influencing anime).  The scouter Tsugumi finds happens to read the power level of people's voids, making it much easier to uhh I don't know recruit a few people!  I like where this is going :)

It was pretty funny how Shu and the others held Tsugumi and forced her void out.  We weren't the only curious ones I suppose.  I didn't find her void very impressive though.  I would have been impressed if it was some big gun or highly dangerous weapon, but I guess that wouldn't go with her.

Did you all notice Daryl hesitate at the sight of Tsugumi?  I did!  I think it's loove!!  And what exactly did Inori do to those guys?  This could turn out to become a problem for Shu.

I am looking forward to next week's episode.  I just hope it keeps up with this excitement it has now.  It would be fun to see the students do some training or something.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou 03: Life Lessons and Stuff

High School Boys and Summer Plans

That's right!  This weeks episode is full of utter nonsense and hilarity!  I wouldn't get Hidenori riled up if I were you. He has a bit of an anger issue, you see.  Other than that, ROFLs and LOLs are guaranteed.  I never thought this week's episode would cover so many topics.  Let's review the lessons, shall we?

The boys gathered at Tadakuni's place to go over their summer plans while still wearing their school uniforms, te he. Then, out of nowhere, Hidenori begins to scold his friends about hanging out with more girls during the summer. Just then, the boys decide to overthrow Hidenori as chairman and demanded that Karasawa take his place. Hidenori gave Karasawa a call and asked him to come over in his uniform - *facepalm.*

High School Boys and the Beach House

After a much intense debate at the sausage-fest, the boys decided to go to the beach where they showed off their swimming trunks while hitting on various girls.  Poor Tadakuni was the only one wearing his school trunks (don't worry, that's not why the girls ignored you).  But after much thought from Hidenori, he came up with the conclusion that girls like their noodles and men the same way: HOT (and spicy >.<).  Thus, getting bitch slapped by Motoharu. Lesson learned: Girls like their men hot, like there noodles, but don't tell other guys that.

High School Boys and Hot Spring Balls

(Look at his face! LOL).  We find the boys at the hot springs when all hell breaks loose at a game of ping pong! The rules of the game were to hit the ball while shouting out the answers to the topic given.  If they miss three times, they pay a penalty . . . to punch the student council president! Couldn't expect anything less from these boys. Well, maybe we should be lowering the standards with Tadakuni. He didn't even pass one round, which was hilarious to watch. >.<  At least we got something out of it: moons of Uranus, names of foreign presidents, countries that have a moon in their flag . . . I don't know about you, but all I got was Obama.  Gag lesson: Never play with smart people. Instead, play with Tadakuni ;)

High School Boys and the Radio DJ

On to our next gag . . what do we have here?  Tabata, Hidenori's Talking FS!  FS?  The boys, well, Hidenori and Yoshitake are pretending to be radio hosts where they talk about teens, for teens.  All while blaming everything on their mothers.  Yes, it makes sense . . . boys WERE originally a part of their mothers.  Too funny. XD

Someone is still holding a grudge from that ping pong game :D

High School Boys and Summer Memories

Before they knew it, summer passed by in little time.  60 seconds, to be exact.  All while playing to the sounds of Capsule. 

Only with friends can you randomly pull off a game of shiritori.

High School Boy and the Train to School

LOL.  Here we get introduced to a little drama.  Apparently, this girl boards the same train car with Hidenori every morning.  But all Hidenori is interested in is telling her about a hair that sticks out of her mole, yet he hasn't found the courage to do so.  He considers changing trains the next day in order to avoid an encounter with her and then idles about how her mole hair is somehow a symbol of her loneliness.  Despite his worrying, he tells her and so ends the story of a foolish boy who seriously worried about something this stupid.  What I learned: Hidenori and I are not so different. >.<

Uniform and Boyfriend

Who says that girls can't be funny?  They were like female versions of the boys, even the megane sounds overly passionate, much like Hidenori, when she speaks.  According to her, no matter what high school girls do, they'll be super popular and make lots of money.  And because girls are funny no matter what they do, they decided to wear men's clothing.  I enjoyed seeing the girls do a recap of episode one.  It was hilarious seeing them roll on the floor in over-sized clothing and commenting about the funny smell. XD  To top it off, they show you an epic nose bleed!  I guess, being too desperate is like asking for it. - End of lessons.

Next review: Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou 04: LOL Just LOOL! - because I already know it's funny.

PREVIEW:

Casshern Sins: Anime Review

Episodes: 24

Producers: Madhouse Studios, FUNimation Entertainment

Genres: Action, Adventure, Sci-fi

In the distant future, where cyborgs and humans struggle to survive after the war which destroyed the world, a being in a white suit awakens.  His name is Casshern and he remembers nothing of his own past. In a barren and dark dystopian world, where every being alive seems to hate his existence and the evil from his past wants him dead, Casshern, haunted by the flashes of his past memories, has to survive and figure out who or what exactly he is and how he got to where he is now.  But he does not know that he might not like the horrible truth of the past, hidden deep inside his mind . . . - via MAL

Almost a masterpiece . . . almost.  Casshern Sins is a work of art with a vibrant and powerful story.  To me, it is simply beautiful. Imagine living in a world full of life and power.  A place where all you know in life is luxury and immortality.  No one likes the idea of death.  That is why cyborgs and robots created by the humans, surpassed the humans and discovered a way to live forever.  It wasn't long after the God-like robot named Luna was killed when the world started to decay.  The world they knew became nothing but a waste land for robots called "The Ruin." Eventually, they lost their sanity and meaning of life all together.

Could you blame them?  Once someone has had a taste of the good life, it is hard to accustom to anything less. Out of fear, they all turned to the rumor implying that if they eat Casshern, they would be saved from the Ruin.  

Look at this face.  Does he look like a happy meal to you?

Having forgotten about his past, not only is he being hunted by many, but blamed for the Ruin as well.  He has no choice but to react by instinct and kill those who attempt to kill him.  But because his instinct is hard to control, he causes more pain and destruction than he reckons with.

He also happens to be immortal.  And since he has forgotten about his past, he sets off on a journey of self-discovery in hopes of finding his purpose in life.  Along the way, he meets various robots and people struggling to survive.

Ringo, a young robot girl who befriends Casshern, is a miracle, according to her robot friend named Ouji, because she manages to maintain her innocence despite being born in a destroyed world. Casshern begins to care for this girl as he learns about compassion and love.  And through each encounter he comes across, he learns a little more about life.

Even though it is a very depressing anime, the story is very intriguing.  I found myself sympathizing with these robots a lot.  Especially Casshern.  I even held a little grudge toward the humans.  I was wondering how cruel it was that they gave robots feelings and emotions.  I couldn't help but think of the pain and suffering they were going through.  That's why these characters were very well developed.  The way they portrayed their sadness was intense . . . very human.  They didn't take anything for granted, not even the smallest things.  To them, a simple song was deeply treasured.

These beings were once immortal, so telling time was a mystery.  I couldn't tell if it were days, months, or years that passed by.  To them, ten years was probably nothing more than a day to us.

The sounds, from the music to the voice acting, reflected the character's personality and the essence of the anime itself.  The voice acting brought out a lot of the character's pain and suffering.  And the music was very mysterious, yet charming.  Enchanting, almost.

This anime is very violent and emotional, but brilliant nonetheless.  About half way through, it seemed a bit slow for me, but the ending was good.  I highly recommend this anime.  If you're looking for a deeper, more meaningful story, look no more.

Another 03: Thoughts

Yes!  The episode is here :D  This is the episode when she shows us what's under her eyepatch! OMG!  It just gets creepier and creepier.  

She's gonna do it . . .she's gonna do it! 

Oh . . . it's just a doll's eye.  You guessed right Starburst-chan ;)

That wasn't even the highlight of this episode though.  I thought it was weird that Misaki would just tell Sakakibara about that death that happened 26 years ago.  It was about a very popular girl who was kind to everyone.  She was good at sports and her studies.  Teachers and students adored her. But, shortly after ninth grade, she died in an accident that was rumored to be a plane crash, a car accident, or a house fire. No one really knows.  Or, she just didn't say.  And so, the whole class, even the teacher went into denial and pretended she was still alive.  So much so that the principal had her seat be present in the graduation ceremony and she even appeared to be in the class photo, despite the fact she was dead.

By then, Sakakibara's phone rang and he didn't get the full story.  But apparently the girl's name was also Misaki. Either way, Sakakibara was still being a little skeptical about it being her.

The next day, the students were made aware of their exam dates.  Sakakibara and the others had a chat and it was nice to see more of their personalities as they talked about anything other than that mystery about Misaki. I even noticed a little glance Kazami shot to Sakuragi.  Does he like her? Also, I couldn't help but enjoy the closeness between Kazami and Teshigawara.  

But what do I do with this?  Based on this anime's genre . . should I be taking this as innocent BL? It sounds more suspicious to me.  I better not take things too lightly here.

Afterwards, Sakakibara decides to walk home with megane here.  They talk about school trips and bring up how they used to have them during the spring of ninth grade.  They used to have them, she says? Quickly Sakakibara brings up Misaki again and ends up pissing her off.  But the only thing I'm wondering is why they changed their trip schedule to eighth grade.  That schedule change must have something to do with Misaki. After all, she did say that girl died shortly after ninth grade, around the time these students had their field trips.

Afterwards, Sakakibara continues to ask about Misaki, but all he gets are warnings to stay away from her. Impatient now, he finds her and asks her once more.  She then tells him that no one can see her other than him. He freaks out and then this . . .

We lose that poor megane.  She really wanted to go to Tokyo too.  But lets go over the clues. Before she decides to run off and tumble down the stairs, she spots Misaki.  But, why now?  Could it be that if you are closer to death, you see her?  Then what was it that teacher told her?  Could this be why their field trips are now held in eighth grade instead of ninth?  Something similar must have happened on one of those field trips.  If this keeps up, there will be more deaths.  I'm going to assume they die in the same order that they appear in the ED.  If that's the case, Kazami or Teshigawara?

Also, Misaki says she's not that girl from 26 years ago, but her cousin.  What's going on?!

This is getting interesting.  

Boys Over Flowers(花より男子) - Korean Drama Review

Episodes: 25

Publishers: KBS

Genres: K-drama, Romance, Comedy

Hello fellow bloggers!  Cely_belly here!  I'd like to take this time to introduce you to a great drama. The Korean drama called Boys Over Flowers or better known Boys Before Flowers is based on the Japanese manga Hana Yori Dango(花より男子).  There is a Japanese drama too, but when it comes to rock music it's all about J-rock. When it comes to pop music, it's all about K-pop.  As for drama, it's all about K-drama, no?

Well, I guess that's all a matter of opinion.  I can't say.  The only drama I watch is Spanish and Korean.  I can say that if you Google the drama, the majority of pics and links will lead you to this one ;)

Now, before you begin to think this has nothing to do with anime or Japan, you're wrong.  As aforementioned, this drama is based on a manga derived from our beloved land of the rising sun. So, this is pretty Japan - related.  I am warning you, though.  You will be coming across many "kyaas" and "ahhs." That's just me swooning over hot Korean actors.  I like Japanese boys, but Koreans - ahh. (I warned you).

Plot Summary:
Jan Di's family owns a dry cleaning store and lives an average life until one day, she makes a dry cleaning delivery at the prestigious Shinhwa High School and saves a student from jumping off the roof.  As a result, she is offered a swimming scholarship at this private school and ends up meeting F4 whom all students admire since they are four wealthy, handsome bachelors(kyaa).  At first Jandi is at war with F4 until she eventually falls in love with one of the members, Goo Joon Pyo.  Will he reciprocate her feelings? - via Crunchyroll

I haven't read the manga but I plan to.  I just decided to watch the drama first.  You see, I don't have much patience for manga.  The only reason I plan to read it later is because my friends were practically drooling over it some time ago.  And, if I don't cooperate, I'm afraid I may end up in a ditch somewhere . . .

The drama is a lot like the manga, from what I've heard.  It has a lot of up and down moments. Much like Kimi Ni Todoke, I get frustrated with the couple as they go through obstacle after obstacle.  And much like anime, there is a lot of violence.  A lot.

Kyaa!  (╥﹏╥)

If that didn't win you over, maybe this will . . .

Fanservice??  I think it's working ;)

Or, maybe you're into maids . . ? 

"Goshuujin-sama . ."

No matter.  From the maids to the fanservice . . . this drama has it all.

The characters are funny and the drama is always there.  Not to mention, it has a great soundtrack.  My favorite song would be SHINee's single "Stand by me."  

It was a joy to watch.  I didn't sleep much because of it. -_-  Compared to Coffee Prince, I don't know which is best.  They are excellent dramas I highly recommend.

Side Notes: 

• My friends won't actually throw me into a ditch, LOL. - I think.
• Hot Korean actors!!! ~Kya  >.< 
• I love SHINee! - Go listen to their music . . GO NOUU!!
• Have you read the manga? 

Guilty Crown 13: A Festival Now?

I agree.  What are they thinking?

Daryl megane = Kyaa!

Two weeks has passed since the incident with Gai and Mana.  Now, the center of the city has been blockaded. No phones, no TV, no internet- how boring.  In hopes that the blockade will be lifted soon, many students outside of the blockade zone have gathered in school.  Most of Funeral Parlor has separated, but others like Ayase and Tsugumi, even Daryl have taken shelter at school, blending in as students.  And since there's nothing better to do (really?), the school decided to have a festival.

Saw this coming . . .

So, because a bunch of crazy wackos have decided to cause chaos, Shu and the others must save the day. 

"Bleh!"

Of course!  Ayase's droid are legs.  LOL.  She literally kicked ass in this episode.

And they made a pretty good team.

But, besides introducing Shu's new ability to lend someone their droid and Ayase's new android legs, this episode was just basically building up to introduce a bigger problem for them to face.  GHQ and the government were planning to "eradicate" the area they were in.

More like, what will you do, Shu?  What will you do . . . 

Side Notes:

• Overall, this episode was meh :/
• Megane!! >.<  
• Check out the new OP and ED.  I like the OP song, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to it.  It doesn't feel right.

                        [OP2]

Winter 2012 Anime Season: First Impressions

ANO NATSU DE MATTERU

First impressions can be deceiving.  This anime started off pretty mellow with a slice of life feel to it and an un-overwhelming amount of fanservice.  Then, holy shit.  Ichika turns out to be an alien and now the whole anime isn't just about romance anymore.  After the first episode, you get a lot more of her alien background and that adorable pet of hers.  You also get a better feel of Kaito's friends and Remon (far right).  I enjoyed watching Remon's character unfold.  She's so evil, it's good.  She's reminds me of Gokou, Ruri from Oreimo.  She's smart and she definitely knows what she's doing.  I wonder what she puts in that dynamite drink.  I think i'll stick with this anime. So far, it's just been a real pleasure to watch.

             [PV]

ANOTHER

This anime gave me the creeps.  In a good way.  The suspense, the mystery, the eerieness!  What a thrill. I am thoroughly enjoying the art and the plot.  Your brain will get a big work out this season just trying to uncover the mystery.  I want to know the truth already!  Let's all make a bet. Whoever's theory proves to be correct, gets a candy :)  And no you cannot read the novels.  I bet that Sakakibara is the one who's been dead all along and died with his mother a while back in some accident or something.  Somehow the Misaki incident has something to do with his mother.  Or, Sakakibara was the one who killed Misaki. Those are about all of my theories so far.  I have some over analyzing to do this season.

             [PV]

DANSHI KOUKOUSEI NO NICHIJOU

Simply hilarious.  It's overwhelming.  You figure it'd be another Kimi to Boku, but turns out you're way off. Its comedy is similar to Kill Me Baby, but this one is worthy of your time.  You couldn't expect any less from three teenage boys in high school.  I recommend you all give this series a go.  

             [PV]

INU X BOKU SS

Meh :/  I thought it was going to be all about drama and romance, but no.  I didn't expect the dog ears, or the Kimono, or the tail, I mean tails.  He looked like that Pokemon with nine tails.  What's its name . . nine tails?? Okay, okay.  Maybe the butler secret service agent didn't look that bad. Dog ears suit him.  And when he cried - KYAA!!  You poor pup D:  If she doesn't want you . . i'll take you.  Who am I kidding?  Of course she wants you. You're a stud.  By now, you can kind of tell why I am going to watch this anime, no?  

             [PV]

KILL ME BABY

Oh ma gaa . . . the OP was annoying enough.  I don't know.  I was kind of in a lousy mood when I started watching. My mood must have influenced my reaction towards the anime, so I decided to watch it on a good day, but nothing changed.  I still found it pretty annoying.  It was slow paced and there wasn't enough comedy to keep me interested.  I'll either drop it or put in on hold for now.  

             [PV]

PAPA NO IUKOTO WO KIKINASAI!

I was looking forward to the comedy here, but it wasn't as silly as I thought.  Of course, there are still 25 episodes left to go and it's still too soon to tell.  I'll watch a few more episodes and decide from there.  I have read other reviews and people are saying that it is very likely to be another Usagi Drop.  I have a good reason to keep on watching then :)

             [PV]

That's all for now.  Don't forget to tell me which anime you will be watching this season!

How to Create Your Best Internet Business in 2012

There are thousands of strategies to build a profitable Internet business in 2012 but most fall into one of three categories along with every other way of making money on the Internet.  I wrote a popular article a few months back that talks about one of the easiest business ideas for beginners who want to build a REAL Internet business.  There are hundreds of "business opportunities" online, most of which are direct sales or network marketing opportunities.  These provide a way to "participate" in a ready made system, but are they real businesses? I don't think so. Especially not if your a beginner who doesn't have a marketing budget in the 4 figure range!

If you're a beginner and you want to get started off on the right foot building a REAL internet business, go read that article I wrote on the best business opportunity for beginners, it's a low cost or even free way to start making money from the Internet.  There is a link to a video in that article that will teach you about one of the best ways to get started.  I've watched a lot of videos and read a lot of books on business and Interent enterprises.

One of my favorite books is titled "The Four Agreements", have you heard of it?  The reason I bring it up is because one of the agreements is to always do your best and I think that is key to creating the best Internet business in 2012. I recently came across a blog post about this and it inspired me to share some of personal thoughts about my journey of building a profitable Internet business.

It reminded me that things don't always go the way I want them too and it's what I do about that that will define my level of success, you know what I mean?

That blog post was called Simple Internet Business Ideas for 2012 you can go read it if you want.  It is writen on an empowernetwork blog which is another business in and of it's self.

Being entrepreneurs we need to check ourselves from time to time. Here are some great questions to ask yourself and answer honestly:

1. Do you have current inspiring goals that you are focused on?
2. Do you have a yearly income goal?
3. What is your plan for reaching your income goal for your business in 2012?
4. Have you created a DMO (daily method of operation) that will execute your plan?
5. What are you learning right now that weren't two months ago?
6. How will you build on your past success this year?
7. Can you be more efficient?
8. What parts of you Internet business would be better if you outsourced?

These are questions that should help you to re-committ and refocus your efforts in 2012.  I've always given the advice to start a business that you are truly passionate about and interested in.  This really helps when things don't go the way you want in your online business.

The Best Internet Business for 2012

If you are looking for the best Internet business to start in 2012 I feel affiliate marketing is still the best business you can start on the Internet in 2012.  That doesn't narrow it down a whole lot because there are literally millions of products and services you can use in an affiliate marketing business model.  I recommend getting affiliate marketing coaching for 2012 if you are just getting into affiliate marketing.  A lot has changed over the past year and you need to be current.  Over 90% of the information I read on affiliate marketing and Internet marketing is out dated.  Social media has made some big changes to the scene and so have the recent "Panda" updates that google rolled out. Get coaching on how to do affiliate marketing business, it will take years off your learning curve.  If you need to be making money in 30 to 90 days, get help.

Obviously if you have a unique skill or talent and you want to start a service based Interent business that is always a good route too.  The thing to keep in mind with an Internet service business, like web design, is that in order to get paid you have to do work, you can only get paid when you design a website.  One of the benifits to building a real business is that it lets you work hard building the business that in turn makes you money in more passive way.  You know, you cold always do both.

What are some of the other neat Internet business ideas you've seen?

My Top 10 Anime Male Characters of 2011

I'm pretty late . . . but in response to Nopy’s Top 10 Anime Girls of 2011, I have decided to make my own top ten list.   Except, in this list I have chosen my favorite anime male characters of 2011. I haven't covered many anime series this past year, but I hope you find a liking to any of the fallowing series based on my top male picks, in case you aren't already familiar with them.

Also, I happily welcome the new year!  Let's have another great year full of memories.  Fighting!

10.  Ouma, Shu from Guilty Crown

I am not as fond of his personality as I am with his character design.  I love the way he looks. Pretty shallow of me?  Maybe.  He's cool and all, you know, willing to save lives.  But I just think he LOOKS even cooler. Especially when his game face is on and is about to extract someone's void because when he does, his eyes turn red and he becomes a completely different person.  A much more confident, kick ass, Ouma, Shu.  Or it could be that I just like his powers and the yellow streaks in his hair.  All I can say, is that Shu is by far my favorite male character in Guilty Crown . . to look at ;)

9.  Niwa, Makoto from Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko

The anime wasn't my favorite, but I liked the main protagonist.  He didn't turn out to be a complete jerk or hid the fact that he was related to Erio.  He was very brotherly, the way he always took care of her.  Plus, he doesn't look that bad either.

8.  Hasegawa, Kodaka from Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai

Another brotherly type, but a little more experienced than Niwa - having a little sister himself. Don't be fooled by his looks.  His dyed-looking hair isn't the trademark of a rebel.  If I could have an older brother, I'd want an older brother like him, I guess.  One who watches out for me, is there for me, and is patient with my weaboo characteristics.  But most importantly . . one who cooks for me - muahaha!

7.  Yadomi, Jinta from Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai

Even Yadomi can be labeled brotherly . . . [I must really want an older brother XD].  Although, his feelings towards Menma were more than just that.  He was willing to marry her.  I find that adorable.  He was very loyal to her throughout the whole series and never gave up on her and her dream.  His situation is rather heartbreaking, yet very heartwarming.  How can I not love him.

6.  Asaba, Yuuta from Kimi to Boku

Yuta is very underrated.  He is frequently out shined by his younger brother Yuki.  That's probably why he's one of my favorites.  I find him more mysterious.  My affection towards him grew after his date with that girl.  That was a cute episode.  I also love that he's a tsundere, like most of the males in this list.  If I had to choose between a twin, it'd be the one who is not willing to stand out because that's actually what would make him stand out, to me.

5.  Okumura, Rin from Ao no Exorcist

Mr. Okumura was my first favorite.  I find him very attractive - demon looking and all.  He has the sweetest smile, even though that's not the case in this pic - his tsundere face is pretty cute too. Apart from his smile, I adore his laugh.  It's so cute and innocent . . . KAWAII!  Am I the only one who thinks he's a total hottie when he pins up his hair?!  (Ehem) Other than that, he is a pretty heroic character . . . one of those -I don't care about my own well being as long as I can protect my friends- attitude.  It's very hard for me to acknowledge him as Yukio's older brother, though.

4.  Kawachi, Daikichi from Usagi Drop

Obviously, he'd be on this list.  He went out of his way to take Rin into his home when she needed it.  I admire that about him.  It was very precious to see his dere attitude as time passed with his new daughter. I certainly wouldn't hate the guy who would take me in under those circumstances.  

3.  Tsukahara, Kaname from Kimi to Boku

I am a big megane fan.  Cute boys with glasses . . kyaa!  Kaname is too cute . . . and funny.  I don't know how many times he's smacked his friends, throughout the series.  He definitely keeps his friends on check.  I wouldn't mind a boyfriend who is as tsun tsun as he is.  I don't think I'd like a guy who is too sweet.  His smile is very sweet though.  I really enjoyed the anime.  He was never a bore to watch.  Their couldn't have been a better class representative.  I just wish I was one of those crushes of his :(

2.  Takano, Masamune from Sekaiichi Hatsukoi

I think the perfect word to describe Takano would be "smexy."  Believe it or not, here's another megane. He's not wearing his glasses in this pic, though.  He's also gay, in case you didn't know - which makes me want him even more, sigh.  And since I don't stand a chance with him (plus he's not real), I settled with admiring his qualities as a man.  He's pretty straight forward, clever and an excellent lover.  Wait, what do I know?  I do know that he's wanted by more than one man and a few woman in the anime, so there's that. But why are you with Onodera?! After all the pain he put you through!  Argh!

1.  Kazehaya, Shouta from Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season

Last, but not least . . . Kazehaya-kun.  I'm not really sure why he's my favorite.  I think it has a lot to do with the essence he gives off in the anime.  I love shoujo anime's.  I love shoujo characters. Shoujo's have all that good stuff.  The sparkles . . . the bubbles . . . and, the drama.  Throughout the series he basically builds up for that moment, that moment when he finally confesses his feelings to Sawako and vice versa. But he goes through all these obstacles on the way there, it's frustrating.  Although, it's throughout the journey that his character develops. That's when I find how short tempered, selfish, and insecure he is. Not to mention what a total cry baby he was as a kid.  Still, I can't help but fall for these princely type characters because once that moment comes when they hug the girl or share a kiss, my heart can't help but go doki doki.  I believe every girl has fantasized about a guy like Kazehaya to be her knight in shining armor at one point.
