Hey guys wordpress 2.5 is out! That will be updated tomorrow but more importantly, better late than never here is my Proposal Daisakusen special post. As we all had hoped, basically the special literally jumps right into where the last episode of the drama left off. The beginning of the special gives us flashbacks of what happened in case you missed it, but in case you did, you can always go back and read my posts Anyway the beginning is kinda silly because they waste time showing Rei and Ken on the beach as usual arguing with each other (about the fact that if Ken found her shoe that was lost in the ocean she’d marry him right then and there) but concluding their argument with a hug.

So it turns out that this manga will be 6 volumes - with the final volume being released on April 28th. The volume started out a bit cheesy but it was still pretty good. They went to the magic world to meet Zero’s family and his grandma who wanted him to get married and take over the house. Nina was all for it of course but Zero didn’t exactly want to hear the bells just yet. Nina also attempted to learn how to use magic but failed miserably. Also ever since THAT incident, I’m starting to see Ichi as a 3rd wheel. How sad.

Most of the manga was pretty blah to me, at some points I had no idea what was going on and why they were doing it. It felt like another “page filler” in order to progress with the main purpose of this volume…which I have yet to figure out anyway. Oh well on to the scans.

I’m really confused but I think this was supposed to be the last episode? Their official blog has “Saishuukai” all over it and there was no next week preview at the end so perhaps it really is. That’s a shame because I was hoping they’d make it at least 10 or 11 episodes. :/ This week it looked as if she had confessed to her boyfriend that she’s a fujoshi, but when she did, apparently he passed out and missed everything. Also at the beginning the wedding she saw was actually one of his 4 twin brothers. Figures they’d end it openly like that. :/ Well it was fun while it lasted.

Uh so I saw this on Tokyo Toshokan and thought that it was relevant to my interests so I decided to check it out. I was greeted with an explosion of later 80s early 90s style animation. Particularly the huge sparkly eyes and the double lined noses. While I’ve never heard of this before, the oav sports a pretty famous cast. (Think of Akio and Sunohara from Clannad ) It basically shows 2 stories (since it’s only 2 episodes) about women workers finding their “that true someone” from their work place. They even have chibi scenes which show that it’s the place where majority have found their spouse (although I have no idea if that’s based on any accurate Japanese poll.) Continue Reading »

So this drama has finally reached its conclusion although I personally thought the ending for Proposal Daisakusen was better than this one even though ironically, I got the “kiss and get married” ending in this drama. I guess because this was exactly what I wanted it almost felt like a predictable disappointment. Not saying the ending was bad but I guess I wished something better would have happened. Anyway Aiko’s dad drags her to Shizuoka yelling at her that he’s more sad seeing her unhappy than him being “lonely” without her. Continue Reading »

I’m sort of in a hurry to write this post so here’s a short summary. Basically Aiko’s dad goes to see Seiji’s dad who’s a total dick about Seiji taking over the family business (as usual). Eventually he even lies to Seiji and tries to get him to go through with the miai. After Seiji’s dad has a heart attack they all find out that the reason his dad wants Seiji married Asap is because well he’s gonna kick the bucket soon due to heart problems. In the meantime the girls at work find out Seiji and Aiko are engaged and Aiko is put on a special project with wedding dress designs. Unfortunately for Narumi, his father is a rival in this contest but Narumi is determined to win. At the end of the episode Aiko runs into a conversation that his dad is having at the bar and overhears that the reason her mother died is because she was too weak to give birth…so now Aiko thinks she’s the reason that her father’s “most precious person” was taken away.

Upcoming Attractions: Aiko is so bummed she doesn’t wanna get married anymore.

This episode put all sorts of grins on my face So the Atlas guy called Narumi saying he wanted to do the deal and Narumi and Aiko were both really happy…that is until he got to office the next day. He got a call from I guess his agency? or whoever telling him that he’s going against contract by making such a personal deal and that they will not allow it. They were not supposed to know about this but someone, aka Makihara had leaked it and Narumi figured out that it was her. She said she did it because she was worried about the company but in reality its because she was jealous of Aiko. Continue Reading »
