neko-san meets world

The anime D.N. Angel was released way back 2003 though I wasn't aware of it until it was aired on QTV 11 ( now GMA News Network ) 10 years ago. As a teenager that time, I was very much interested in magic and angels and anime (of course) and that's probably why I was very hooked with this series. For a little background, it's about a typical teenage boy named Daisuke Niwa , whose life has changed on his fourteenth birthday. I won't tell spoilers but I highly suggest you go watch it online or buy a DVD and I'll guarantee that you'll love this anime. You can also read the manga by Yukiru Sugisaki ( Candidate for Goddess ) though I haven't read this but I plan to.

Anyone here who loves orchestra music? Maybe a few but no matter, why not try listening to this cool Japanese high school band at least. Actually, I just accidentally watch their video after searching for a real orchestra performing ' Unter Dem Doppeladler/Under the Double Eagle ', a march by Austrian composer Josef Wagner. (I found this march awesome after hearing it in a La Corda d'Oro CD album).  So without further ado, presenting the Shijonawate Gakuen High School Brass Band performing ' Under the Double Eagle '!!

So you want to learn Nihongo? Fortunately there are apps on Windows Phone that can teach you the basics, even advanced, of Japanese. And what's good is that almost all of them are free. Let's get started! (Note: Clicking on the name of the app will bring you to Windows Phone Store) 

I have mentioned in my previous post that I really enjoyed watching ' Ergo Proxy ' (a good anime if you like cyberpunk post apocalyptic-themed anime) and part of it is because everytime I start watching a new episode, I'll see and hear that awesome opening theme. One of the best I have ever seen! Sugoi! Perfect opening sequence (awesome visuals paired with a good song) that really fits the anime and oooohhh, that voice! Turbulence Studio Album by Monoral

After that weeklong watching of ' Ergo Proxy ' which I really enjoyed, I started to look for similar anime shows. I googled Ergo Proxy and at the right corner below the description showed a list of what people also search: Texhnolyze, Samurai Champloo, Cowboy Bebop, Paranoia Agent , and lastly Vandread . Some of these titles are very familiar to me though (as I have already watched Cowboy Bebop and Vandread). Meanwhile I have seen Paranoia Agent appear in the top anime list of some otakus and that somehow took my interest, so I decided I'll try this.  Paranoia Agent promotional logo Source: Wikipedia
