Famously

Famously, to the depths of despair, I have been sent No one was saved, and to their graves, perished and dead All on my head Because of me Those I have failed feel my betrayal The final nail, hammered by me I didn't mean what is done If I could turn back the time now, I'd sacrifice my own life for him Why not me?

I need to own Clannad and Clannad After Story on DVD.  One of the greatest anime series I've ever watched.  Helped me learn a lot about what it takes to really grow up and the responsibility of being an adult in this world.  Although this series was also about love and meeting someone you would marry and have kids with.  Everything in between the lovey dovey stuff was really important and deep.  I cried like a wuss at various parts in the series, especially at the end.  Most of all, definitely worth a watch.  Also, really liked some of the music.

フリクリ！

I don't go a day without listening to this song.

Lyrics:

I don't know since when I changed to such a cold-hearted guy. I have to warm this frozen icy lonely heart to thaw. I like being wrapped with warmmness more than anything else for sure. I'm gonna make my coming days to be filled with laughter and joy. I let myself down that I'm more cruel than I thought I would be. I'm just a loser who ends up by caring for my soul. I don't give my heart to no one cause I don't wanna waste my time. I tried to love this loneliness to slip out of this lonesome hole. Sorrow is what I hate but it's grown my sensations. Regrets taught me how to make any hard decisions. Peace is always by my side but I've never felt it once. Love is not the word only for the sweet romance. Well I'm scared, scared, scared, scared, to death. And I'm scared to keep on going on my way. Well I'm scared, scared, scared, scared, to death. And I'll tell myself I'm special till the end. Recalling my torn broken, aching heart of these long days. And all the memories I wanted to forget for making leaps. Recalling, breaking, aching, crying, making sure to me. And I take all and grin at my future on the way. I don't give my heart to no one cause I don't wanna waste my time. I tried to love this loneliness to slip out of this lonesome hole.

AnoHana

あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai [We Still Don't Know the Name of the Flower We Saw That Day] ) or AnoHana for short.

Already after watching the first episode I'm really amazed with this anime.  The story is touching and nostalgic.  Reminds me of my summer days as a kid with friends.  I also really like the art style!  Also, this is a drama/slice of life kind of show.  Where it has its lovey dovey stuff but deals with the harsh reality of things.  Favorite kind of shows.

Apparently this is an recent anime as there are only 4 episodes up and still going.  I will continue to watch it!

Here's a quick Synopsis:

Ano Hana follows the flashbacks of six teenagers. Well, to be exact, five of them.  Honma Meiko (Menma), Yadomi Jinta's childhood friend returns after many summers. Jinta, annoyed by her childish attitude, tries to ignore her with everything he's got. But Menma is so persisting, Jinta can't overlook her anymore. Jinta, who has been an all energetic boy from his childhood now finds himself to be a lethargic teen, uninterested and unmotivated to absolutely everything, ignores people around him and a complete shut-in. As he merged himself to video games over the years, his grades dropped and couldn't even make it to a reputed high school. Anjo Naruko (Anaru), one of the six childhood friends has grown interest in make ups and dresses, like most of the teenage girls of her age. But she has become more distant and snaps pretty easily. She is not the all shy "Anaru" Jinta and Menma used to know anymore.  Matsuyuki Atsumu (Yukiatsu) and Tsurumi Chiriko (Tsuruko) are different. They are now students of a very good high school. Both got themselves absorbed in school and are taking life more seriously as anyone should. But in the process, they have become distant too. Hisakawa Tetsudo (Poppo), who was the smallest of the childhood friends, is a big guy now. He has grown interest in 'erotic' stuff, well, any teen of his age should be interested in stuff like that. With everyone drifting apart from each other over the years, Menma is left with shock as she met her childhood friends after so many years. She thought everyone would remain the way they were during those colourful summer days. And now, she insists that everyone should get along just like before. A wish she has unfulfilled and wants Jinta to grant it for her. Just that, she has no idea that her childhood friends have all drifted apart because of none other than herself, ever since that day in a summer she left them. For all eternity. Despite being in its very first episode of an 'Anime-Original' story, Ano Hana caught me off guard as I wasn't expecting such a sad story to unfold.

I love good orchestrated music.  Can listen to it for hours.
