ラブコメ Love Come

love comeA timid anime screenwriter, Miharu has been working hard on finishing his series inspired from his childhood crush, Makie. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to find the inspiration he needs to write a proper ending because he’s still in love with her, even though it has been 17 years since he’s last seen her. He decides to pay Makie a visit (or rather, “stalk her”) at their family’s flower shop where Makie is now the manager.

I’ve seen this show twice on Screen Red Asia, and I still get all these fluffy feelings afterwards. Even the side story of Makie’s assistant Ryoko and the anime voice actor Nishijima had a rather nice touch to it.

Personally, Makie is my favorite character, because it’s not everyday that I get to see a tomboy-ish girl fall in love with (as in my brother’s words) “such a pathetic guy!” I was only interested in watching this because Miharu is an anime screenwriter! How could I resist that?

Oh, and the mere fact that my brother watched this with me should be enough to tell you that this is not one of those long-winding dramas that guys get bored with. It’s a light-hearted, romantic comedy that’s really cute and highly recommended! I should find the DVD copy…

The story revolves around Ralph, the villain of an arcade game called "Wreck-it Ralph". After 30 years of breaking down buildings over and over again, he would like to experience being the hero for a change. So, he sets out to other arcade games in hopes of becoming the good guy. But what may be an innocent dream for Ralph, could cause chaos in the entire arcade.

告白 Confessions

告白 kokuhaku confessions

When Moriguchi Yuko announced that she will resign as a junior high teacher, she revealed to her class that her daughter, Manami, did not die of accidental drowning. Manami was murdered by two students in her class, whom she referred to as “Student A” and “Student B”. However, even though she knew who the culprits were, she also knew that they will escape punishment because they were still legal minors. Moriguchi-sensei then decided to take matters into her own hands and teach her unruly students that each and every life is “precious”.

I’m so happy that Destiny Cable added Screen Red to our list of channels! Subtitled Asian films without the horrible dubbing? I’m all for it! ♥ I just watched this film a while ago, and I have to admit, I’m thoroughly impressed! Especially by Takako Matsu’s performance as well as Yukito Nishii! x3 And apparently, I wasn’t the only one:

Despite its controversial subject matter, the film opened number 1 at the Japanese box office, grossing over 3.85 billion yen during its run, and won ‘Picture of the Year’ at the 2011 Japan Academy Prize.

I missed the first few minutes of this, so I wouldn’t mind watching it again. Next time, without my brother, who can’t keep up reading the subtitles and decided to keep asking me what just happened. =A=;;; L-lol… Besides, I want to know if what happened in the end, really did happen, or was it really “just kidding”? ;o; Such a cliffhanger!
