.hack//Sekai no Mukou ni

I was looking forward for this movie for quite long since I first saw the trailer during December last year.

I was a fans of .hack series since 2006, when my friend asked me to help her download the series. Although I helped my friend downloaded .hack//Roots, but I didn't watch it immediately because I checked and found out there's a .hack//SIGN. I download and watched .hack//SIGN and then .hack//Roots and totally love their story and setting.

Ever since then, I read and watch everything related to .hack series:
Anime & OVA
.hack//SIGN
.hack//Roots
.hack//Liminality
.hack//GIFT
.hack//Legend of the Twilight
.hack//G.U. Returner
.hack//Quantum
Movie
.hack//G.U. Trilogy
Manga
.hack//XXXX
.hack//G.U.+
.hack//Link

So, I was waiting for this movie since December last year. It was aired in Japan during January this year, so normally it takes few months for the DVD/Blu-ray to release. Yesterday I felt that I haven't watch any anime movie for some time, so I check for awhile and realized this movie actually available for download since early August. Without hesitation, I straight away search for download links and start downloading. Today when I wake up, it's completed! and so, the movie begins.

The movie is a little different from my expectation, as I thought it would be full of in-game actions like .hack//G.U. Trilogy, but it's more about the real-life story. The story was really great even though not many actions. I like how Sora acts when she first login into The World, like a totally newbie playing online game. The characters in this movie are same with the other .hack series, but somehow it's totally different, for example Kite without the rare dual blade, blue flame and twilight bracelet. Balmung and Orca also having different name in the movie.

For instance, even if you never watch or read any .hack series, it's totally okay to watch this movie because it's not related to other series. However, I still recommend to watch all the series to know the story behind all series. I'm still downloading .hack//Versus, seems like it's a bonus OVA of the game that released together in the Blu-ray version of the movie.

The theme song of the movie was awesome too.
KOKIA - 光をあつめて (Hikari wo Atsumete)

Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below

Children Who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below is the new anime movie by Makoto Shinkai. All of Shinkai Makato's anime movies are great. Those that I watched are Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days and 5 Centimeters Per Second. The things that attracted me from his movies are the storyline and scenery. Most of the scenery in his movies are all so beautiful, and the story are also very touching. Since I watched the trailer of the movie at March, I have been keep waiting for this movie to be release. Finally today I finish download and straight away. After watching the movie, I really feel so satisfied, after waiting this movie for so long. As expected from Shinkai Makoto, all the scenery in the movie are so beautiful, the storyline is great, and the theme song is nice too! Highly recommended to those people who love to watch anime movie!

This is the trailer of the movie



This is the theme song of the movie, "Hello Goodbye & Hello" by Anri Kumaki (熊木杏里)



This is also the theme song, but the video is something like the summary of the anime movie, so it's a spoiler for those who haven't watch yet.



This movie can be downloaded via torrent easily by searching the title in torrent websites such as isoHunt.

Bored Holiday

Holiday started 2 weeks, and still, holiday is so bored. Everyday just stay at home eat, sleep, play. Sometimes had to go fetch my grandma from dialysis centre, sometimes I just go to comic shop and read comic. Last week I went to watch movies alone, to chase back those movies I missed during my assignments and exam time. Well, watching movie alone is really sad, but there's still some fun. Watched Inception, SALT, The Sorcerer's Apprentice and The Last Airbender. This week actually wanted to go watch movie again, but can't find any nice movie that is worth watching.

Last Thursday night I started to watch Nodame Cantabile, and I finish whole series at Saturday afternoon, which are Nodame Cantabile, Nodame Cantabile: Paris and Nodame Cantabile: Finale. This anime is really very great, and I don't know how to put it in words. This anime gave me a lot of different feelings and thoughts, and it's really funny and touching. Now I started to miss it... Regret to finish it so fast... The theme songs in Nodame Cantabile were very nice also, especially Crystal Kay - Konna ni Chikaku de... and Sakai Yuu - Manazashi Daydream.

Yesterday I also watch back some old anime, which is Digimon Movies. I watch from the first movie to the latest movie, and it really brings back a lot of memories. When watching the Digimon Movies, I found out that the story is similar to Summer Wars, and I went and google about this 2 movie, and I found out that the director of digimon movie and summer war was the same person! Last time when watching Summer Wars I already felt like I know the story, and now only I found out that the story is similar with Digimon Adventure Movie: Our War Game!

I need more anime to watch! anyone can introduce me some nice and long anime? :D

Holiday ending soon

Didn't update my blog for 2 weeks, because this 2 weeks I'm playing for whole of these 2 weeks. I have been playing Hero of Newerth since I got my new PC, and I'm really addicted to it, just like I'm addicted to DotA last time. I also managed to finish the drama Liar Game season 1 and 2, now waiting for the movie to release. There are many movie that I'm waiting to watch, like Gokusen Movie, One Piece Movie, Fate/Stay Night Movie and many more. Hope can download them soon and watch them.

Last week my exam result released, and few of my results is a bit unexpected. Those that I think I can do well get low grades, but those I'm not really good I get good grades. After all results were released, I went to college last Thursday and register for my Degree level 2. I heard that only 12 students from my last class are able to progress to level 2, and I'm 1 of the 12 students. Quite lucky I guess. My class gonna start either on next week or another week later, haven't check my timetable yet. There will be Diploma students joining in Degree level 2, hopefully there will be some gamers, anime lovers and also some pretty girls :D

At this time I'm suppose to be sleeping, because my class gonna start at 8.30am. I just watched finished Detective Conan movie 13, and the movie was great! I will write more about it when I'm free. Other than that, I also watched Bleach movie 3 last Friday. I am going to sleep now, if not I can't wake up later.
