Hana Yori Dango anime high session 1

Either I'm really high or anime version of this is actually really good. I've only seen the live action version of this series before, and assumed the older anime version wasn't as good.

Episode 01 - Declaration of War!!

Starts off with a completely different tone... Tsukushi is already attending Eitoku... she just wants to get by the next two years with a peaceful school life... but she can't stand seeing the F4 bullying people. She starts calling them out, and officially makes her own "declaration of war" red note and slams it on Tsukasa's face. Meanwhile, her friend who she defended from the F4, is now pretending not to be her friend for her own safety, and only speaking to Tsukushi through stealthy talk-balk toy messages.

Episode 02 - No-Brand Woman!!

Tsukasa Domyouji has some shady men kidnap Tsukushi, and sends her to... a beauty salon. At first it's really eerie, it really feels like he's going to do something bad to her...

It costs more than you'll ever make. 420k yen, altogether.

Tsukasa tells her that Rui is already taken...
He offers to be allowed around him and invites her to this luxurious life, but at school he will ignore her.

You think you can buy me like merchandise?

I'm no-brand. Don't put me together with all the other girls out there.

She passes by Rui later... asks him if there's anything money can't buy... he goes: "Air.. dumb girl."

Episode 03 - I Won't Get Hurt!!

Now a group of girls who are obsessed with Tsukasa are bullying Tsukushi. She blames it on the F4 at first, then finds out the ones who were pretending to like her actually did it. They start ridiculing her about her crush on Rui, and the competition she has... Then instead of Rui, it's Domyouji who comes to save her from the bullies this time. She rejects his attempts of kindness with a punch to the head.

The other two members of the F4, Sojiro and Akira (who barely got any introduction in the 1995 movie) are acting nice to her now too... so now she's got the whole F4 on her side. Rui creeps on her a bit when he finds out she likes him... Tsukasa goes even further and changes his hairstyle to impress her...

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 2

ACT 6 - Tuxedo Mask

Usagi and Mamoru keep having dreams about each other and their past lives...
meanwhile Tuxedo Mask is in the news... for committing crimes in order to find the Legendary Silver Crystal...

Luna explains to everyone that she's from the moon... the enemies are after the silver crystal held by the royal family for its immense power... their job is to find the silver crystal and the moon princess. Usagi notices that the weapon in the Sailor V game is a lot like the new moon wand she got from Luna. she then heard and saw Sailor V's sprite in the game talk to her.

Jupiter was getting in Nephrite's way too much... Zoicite starts taking over his job... The news media is now brainwashing all the humans to help find the Silver Crystal. Everyone is suspicious of Tuxedo Mask, they tell Usagi to be careful around him. Usagi runs off, Tuxedo Mask helps her as she's about to faint... he tells her that he is partially responsible for this mess, and he is trying to fix it, but he doesn't have special abilities like the Sailor Guardians do...

Zoicite knocks the 4 senshi out like they're nothing... then they sense a tremendous evil energy approaching... Queen Beryl... commander of the 4 kings of the Dark Kingdom.
Luna: "Usagi-san... where are you?"
Tuxedo Mask: "Hurry, transform into Sailor Moon..."
"But I'm not as strong as the others... I'm useless without Luna..."
"You have a special power to make everyone smile. You opened everyone up, and they realized their destiny as Sailor Guardians. You are the best person to be a leader."

"I may be a crybaby, and clumsy, and powerless..."
V: "Sailor Moon. You can do it."
"But I want to help everyone!"
"Moon Healing Escalation!"

Tuxedo Mask picks up Sailor Moon as she faints after the battle... he drops a pocket watch showing the phases of the moon onto her lap... this whole time that she's with Mamoru.. she having a very vivid dream about her past life... she wakes up and sees Mamoru... instantly knows he's Tuxedo Mask...

Sailor Moon Crystal high session 1

ACT 1 - Usagi -Sailor Moon-
Episode 1 was... meh... too similar to the 1st episode of the old anime, except uglier and with less charm... I like the art style on the opening/ending, the transformation, and some of the other things, but most of the time it looks terrible.

ACT 2 - Ami -Sailor Mercury-

Jadeite, one of the four kings of the Dark Kingdom, being bossed around by Berryl...

Mizuno Ami... her element being cold, her personality makes her look like a cold person, but Usagi sees the warmth in her as she's petting Luna... When Ami touched Usagi's hand for the first time, some memories of Ami's previous life flashed in her mind for a second...

Usagi wants to be Ami's friend so that she'll become a genius girl too. She takes Ami to the arcade. Some Sailor Pens came out of the arcade machine they were playing at... obviously one of the space cats is controlling these arcade machines somehow.

An addicting computer study program brainwashes Ami into turning town Usagi's invite... Mamoru was coincidentally stalking Usagi, overheard her talking with Luna about this suspicious study program...
Later Usagi goes to investigate...

How about if I press random keys

lol oh man... it's a good thing she gets Ami on her team to help with this kind of stuff early on.... Ami just barely snaps out of her brainwashing after seeing her transformation pen and hearing Usagi's voice... she transforms and helps defeat Jadeite's youma.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - 8 - Tea Parties recap (finale)

Umineko Chiru Episode 8 Tea Party

Featherine says she's going to write just a little bit more and then she's done...
Bern is sewing Lambdadelta back together. Erika comes in and brings her some materials, then Bern tells her to get out. Erika gets mad and starts tickling Lambda's arm
Erika writes a letter to them... telling them about how Gertrude, Cornelia, Will, and herself are doing..
Then they start talking about where they're going to go this time...
Bern:

If you go north, I'll go south." Lambda: "If you go east, I'll go west." - "I... hope we can find another charming tale like this one.

We'll meet again. When something else cries.

Umineko Chiru Episode 8 ????

Decades later, at some publishing award ceremony... People are talking about the award winning Sakutaro series... the author's name... was Kotobuki Yukari. Kotobuki was dying of cancer, and she said that she hadn't finished telling everything she needed to tell...

Someone asks her if she knows of the novelist Hachijo Tohya... apparently Hachijo wants to meet Kotobuki.

Did she really reach the truth? Why did she reach something that was infinitely close to the truth, "even from my perspective"?

They also tell her that Hachijo Tohya is actually two people... there's a female and male who were both the authors of the forgeries...

As soon as I heard that... I felt a premonition of a certain kind of miracle...
When I left on my journey, I abandoned the name of Ushiromiya Ange and stepped into a new life.

However, now that "Sakutarou's Adventure" has caught the public eye this year and made the name of Kotobuki Yukari famous... maybe it finally reached his ears."
the number of people who could recognize her from the connection with Sakutarou was very, very limited.

At the very instant that the arranged time came, they appeared... a man sitting in a wheelchair... and a woman pushing him.

There's no doubt about it... He's my brother... Ushiromiya Battler...

Hachijo Tohya introduce themselves...

My name is Hachijo Ikuko. I am mostly in charge of the actual writing... This is Tohya. He mostly handles drafting.

Even though Ikuko was much older, she was very youthful looking... There was a strange mystique about her... as though she was immortal and never-aging. Tohya says they've been together a long time...

Come to think of it, by now, he was staring back into my face. After all, I had been just six years old last time. It must be hard for him

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - 8 - Twilight of the Golden Witch recap part 8 (endings)

Battler coughed, which means by some miracle he was still alive...

Well, that was a nice warm-up. Shall we get started, Bernkastel? Round 2

Impossible!!... [red truth] Battler is dead!!!

I've used the red truth!! I've said that Battler is dead, right?! So why, how did he come back to life?!

Even if the whole world says he's dead... I'll be the one person in the world who believes... Onii-chan is alive.

Even if the whole world refuses to acknowledge it, the miracle will happen as long as we believe!!

There will be no miracle!! [red truth] There exists no one whom you can trust!!

The mystery was deflected back by... Beato...

You call that cliche a triiiick...?!! I've read and gotten bored of that one long ago!

At this point, Ange's abilities make the red truth completely meaningless to her.
Everyone from Rokkenjima/Golden Land slowly appeared, and rose to their feet.

Even if the whole world denies my hope, I won't abandon it. I won't abandon my unshakable hope that everyone's alive... This is something that I've finally reached... This is... my attitude as a witch.

I am the Golden Witch, ANGE Beatrice... My titles are the Golden, the Endless, and the Witch of Resurrection.

Oh yeah, I remember that stuff about her resurrection abilities from ep4... it's amazing she came back to that after going through this obsession with becoming the "Witch of Truth"

Everyone will be with me for eternity. No matter how many times people try to kill them with the red truth, I'll reject it. Everyone will be revived for me no matter how many times it takes... I am ANGE, Witch of Resurrection!! In my world, your red truth can't touch me!!!

From Ange... no, from Ange and her family and her friends, several golden streaks shot out at once. Then, the wriggled, combined into one single mass, and transformed into an eagle with two wings.
Bernkastel didn't fight the golden eagle. She couldn't. In this world of Ange's, where even the red truth couldn't hurt anyone, just what sort of attack could have any effect?

Th... this is... can Endless Nine really do this...?! Even the red truth... doesn't work?!! Just what is this golden truth?!! What kind of golden truth could defeat red truth...?!!

A believing heart... This is 'our' consensus. Compared to the truth that we all acknowledge and share, your red truth can't hurt anything.

So long, Bernkastel! This

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - 8 - Twilight of the Golden Witch recap part 7

Meanwhile... people in the Golden Land were holding up against the goat swarm... the magical creatures couldn't fight against those who denied magic, but the humans could fight all of the goats with their guns and fighting abilities. Rosa and Maria even made Erika back off... constantly putting bullet holes in Erika's afterimage... Kyrie and Rudolph started shooting at her from a distance too.
Erika had to flee from the guns... and then she was met by Dlanor's longsword.
Then, Erika left the Golden Land and returned to the ships... she ordered the goats to start firing at the golden land with all their might...
The Golden Land was now a burning hell, being torn up.... Beato herself came up to Erika's ship, turned her pipe into a golden sword, and challenged her to a duel.
A duel between the master of the illusion called the Golden Land and the witch who controlled truth.

Gradually, the Golden Land started to fall apart... Beato's friends fell into the sea of nothingness... they looked up one last time... and prayed. They prayed that the master of the Golden Land would leave proof that the Golden Land had indeed existed.

This is our Golden Land!! I am the Endless and Golden Witch Beatrice, and I am here!! We may fall, but we will not be defeated!! You will become living evidence! I'll carve the proof of our existence into your chest!!

The battle between the two voyager witches, who possessed power on an entirely different level, could only be resolved by mutual consent, if one of them lost interest or found some reason for wanting to lose.
Suddenly green eyes of cats formed like a constellation... surrounding Featherine, who approached her miko Bern. These cats were entirely different from the pack of wild cats that served Bernkastel. They were the overlords from many worlds that formed Featherine's personal guard.

Aurora looked at Lambda. the latter bowed hurriedly...

Did you get lost on your way to the party?

Featherine Augustus Aurora... The legendary Great Witch. It is said that she surpassed the level of witches, becoming a Creator, and that, upon reaching this forbidden plane, she was cursed with a deadly ailment. However, in life, she once turned her pet cat into a witch. They say that this second witch wanders the sea of Fragments endlessly, searching for any Fragment that can revive

Umineko no Naku Koro ni Chiru - 8 - Twilight of the Golden Witch recap part 6

And still, the Rokkenjima cat box hasn't been opened completely... you've just taken a peek at what's inside. So, you must be the lid yourself.

Yeah... This time... I have to... protect everyone...

Then shouldn't you hurry up a bit?

The sound of popcorn being eaten rang out from beyond a rose bush... It was Lambdadelta.

I think you know this already, but Bern is just about to hold a big party for the Book of the Single Truth. She's gathered beings from heaven and hell, from the spirit world and from parallel worlds. If she announces what's in that book in a place like that, it'll all be too late, won't it?

I'm going... I gave Bernkastel that key. It's my responsibility. I'lll go and bring it back.

She gave me this. With it, I can come and go to the City of Books as I please... What an idiot.

...it was a bell with a blue ribbon tied to it.

Lambdadelta. Take me to the City of Books

Are you serious? That place is a den of monsters among monsters. Now that you've lost Bern's protection, you'll be weaker than a fly.

Battler takes the bell away from Ange...

Lambdadelta. I'll go there... After all, I'm an empty creature, unable to exist outside the cat box.

Ange:

No! This is my way of making up for what I did! If I don't do it myself, the future won't change at all, and I won't be able to save the cat box of the future...!

The 2 siblings argued with each other... Lambda only cared about which one would make the story more interesting... then she noticed... both Ange and Battler were holding bells.

From the very beginning, this game has belonged to the two of you.

It's now a fight between Battler+Ange, who want to close the lid on the cat box, and Bern, who wants it opened.

Okay, I'll take you there, but after that, I'm done being anything but a spectator! I just wanna have the best seats, to see what you do, and how Bern makes mincemeat out of you all...!

Erika starts the assault on the game board... Beatrice asks for her demands...

We demand that you hand the entirety of this game board over to the honorable City of Books. Doing so will give this board and its pieces the greatest honor and protection imaginable.

Beato gives her answer...
