This is a good and a bad news. Bad because it will be delayed. Good because of longer running time. I hope someone will sub this faster. ^_^

Nurarihyon no Mago to have an Anime

Quoted from ANN:

A poster has revealed that a television anime adaptation of Hiroshi Shiibashi’s Nurarihyon no Mago manga has been green-lit. In the story, Rikuo Nura, a kid who is part human and a quarter yōkai (demon), lives in a house full of spirits along with his grandfather. Trying to escape his fate of acting like a demon, he does good deeds in order to avoid becoming one — despite his grandfather’s wish to succeed him as master of the Nurari yōkai clan.

Slight Hiatus

Hello.! I miss blogging. It’s been a long while since I last posted something here. Even my lj blog is suffering from hiatus. It’s because school has started already and I’ve been going home late and get up early in the morning. Moreover, there are bunch of anime episode that I need to watch. *sigh*

So as you can see, I’ve posted my initial review about Miracle Train (plus bunch of pics). I still have 11 eyes and Kiddy Girl-aND to post and give a review. I wanted to make one for all of the series that I’m watching this season but I don’t have much time. T______T

I can’t even post a new summary for a manga series. I miss reading and reviewing manga.. T_______T

That’s all for now. I hope even with the slight hiatus, there are still visitors of this blog. Thanks so much.. ^_^

It took me a while to pick this up since there were lots of episodes from different anime that piled up. Some of my friends also mentioned that it may not be a good one even if it is full of bishies. The first time I read the summary of this, I was not able to understand the connection of Oedo Line stations and those bishies.

The story started in a straight-forward way. Every episode explains the main plot at the beginning and have featured bishie/station. The problems of each ladies who became the chosen passengers are closely related to the featured station. Viewers can also learn something about the train stations in Oedo line as there are tivireas about them mentioned on the series. The plot is simple since the theme is slice of life, the audience can also relate to the characters.

The characters design are your usual bishounen.

Tocho Saki, the serious- type and the leader of the group.

Fumi Roppongi- the romantic type.

Izayoi Tsukishima – the literature lover. <3

Shinjuku Rintaro – the care-free type.

Ryogoku Itsumi – the history freak.

Shiodome Iku – the youngest and the timid one.

There are also other characters like

Shaisho – the train conductor and the one who always wears a mask, and Akari (I don’t have a picture of her, sorry) the passenger’s guide and Tokugawa, the train dog (don’t have a picture of him either).

These are the other pictures.

So, will you fall in love with a train station?
