Wolf's Rain


(Spoiler Warning)
Wolf’s Rain talks about a world where wolfs are extinct and nobody knows how or what they looked like. In order to survive, they create an illusion where humans would see them as a regular human too. It talks about the journey of four wolfs; Kiba, Tsume, Hige and Toboe on their quest to find the lunar maiden who will lead them to rakuen(paradise). Consisting of 30 episodes with the last 3 episodes as OVAs.

At the very beginning of the anime, it was so slow and a little boring, minus the part where Kiba and Tsume were fighting. Well, in the beginning it tells how each of them got together and how they found the lunar maiden, Cheza; made from the alchemization of a lunar flower. Hmm.. actually I think she’s kinda ugly with red bloodshot eyes. Well, as the story progresses into the middle, it got really interesting where you just have to watch the next episode.

In the middle of the series, Toboe, the youngest of the pack, had sort of a flashback where he had accidently killed his own mistress merely just by causing her to fell over because he sort of pushed her down. He was looking at her motionless body unable to comprehend that he had just killed her. T_T Toboe…..
Toboe had always wanted human’s love and attention, so he sacrificed himself for another person’s master. He died in the arms of the man, showing that he finally found his own paradise where he was sitting in the meadows next to his human grandmother. Toboe T_T… It was really damn sad wei...

The ending was really unexpected. All the wolfs died one by one, T_T What really gripped me was the relationship between Kiba and Cheza. T_T
“What do I’ve left to protect if you’re gone?” Kibaaaa….. T_T
Although in the beginning, Kiba did seem a little over-possessive of Cheza that he kinda looked insane at one point.

It’s a good anime but depressing at the same time. It also forces your brain to think because some scenes wouldn't make sense at all unless you think. Yeap, I know it's hard work for some of us. Only watch it if you’re not depressed.. haha.. Ps: Have lots of tissue with you.

Here's a picture of Kiba chomping into his delicious strawberry-filling bun.
Yum yum! Ngek ngek ngek!

Sayonara Solitaire (Chrono Crusade)

Would you give me another chance?
Would you give me one more day?
Would you give me another minute?
If only I could tell you the words which I'd never had the courage to say.
If only I could show you the feelings which I'd hide so deep within me.
If only words could express everything.
Tell me if our meeting was wrong.
Tell me if everything meant nothing.
Pain is something we both knew too well, something which has became part of who we are.
The sunset view which we love so much, is out of sight now.
The one last moment
With you.

Sayonara, Solitaire.

Daisy 2006

“I'd built that bridge for you. But I didn’t know that I would be building it for you and him.”

Sitting in the airplane could really be agonizing at times, especially when you’re hoping that someone cute would be seating next to you but instead it’s somebody either old, weird or just…. *sighs and shrugs* Well, life is full of surprises. Everything on the movie channel was really sucky, no nice recent movies, disappointed with MAS *shakes head* Then this one particular Korean movie looks cool. ‘Daisy’. Hmm… a killer and a cop falls for the same girl… interesting,must be bloody. *grins evilly*


Daisy tells the story of a hired assassin, a street painter and a cop where both of them falls for the same girl. As you can guess, it has a nice tragic ending where everyone dies. That’s my kind of story. Die! Die! DIE!! Ehem.. no I’m not sick, seriously! *smiles innocently*


Everyday at 4.15pm, someone would send her a pot of daisies at her doorstep, but would never show himself to her.
“Who is this person who sends me flowers? Why doesn’t he shows himself to me?”
He follows her wherever she goes, looking from afar. Copying everything she does. One day, she meets a cop, who so happened dropped by and asked her to paint a portrait of him, and coincidently has a pot of daisy with him.
”Who is this guy who is making her smile like that?”


I’m not an artsy movie person. In fact, I kinda hate artsy movie ‘cause it always seem to test my patience. But Daisy is really different, it’s artsy, beautiful, sad, tragic, you name it. Jeun Ji Hyun from ‘My Sassy Girl’, Jeung Woo Sung (A Moment to Remember) and Lee Sung Jae protrayed their characters really well you could almost feel the pain the characters go through. No wonder everyone’s into Korean film these days. *rubs chin* Daisy is now in my wishlist and I’m now anxiously waiting for the DVD to be released.
