Anime-Anime!
I found the movie quite interesting, especially the way it was presented. Well, okay. This is the movie which made me realize finally, that I really love colors and that I can't live with black alone (I'm a jrock and gothic fashion fan. So black is IN). Although the story is quite the typical boy-meets-girl and with the usual dilemma of the girl falling for the boy first, the story has some twist into it.
Koizumi Riza is 170cm (she grew 2cm more in the anime), while Otani Atsushi is 156cm (he's 159cm in the movie), meaning they both fall out of the average Japanese height, and both experienced rejection because of it. The two are known by their classmates as the All Hanshin-kyojin (a male and female comic duo having the same height difference) because whenever these two fight, their enthusiam flares and the insults are funny instead of offending. However, as their friendship grew, Riza's feelings begun to change for Otani and it gets complicated for her, especially with her height complex.

Last year, I watched the movie and I love it, especially that the main characters of the anime/manga was perfectly copied by the Teppei Koike who played Otani and Ema Fujisawa who played Koizumi. Then I searched for the manga and now I have several of the volumes but It's still incomplete. I'm currently watching the anime and I can't get enough of the Kansai dialect. According to wiki: "While having one or two characters speaking Kansai-ben is common in many anime shows, having all characters doing so is unusual." You bet! And I'm so amused by it~ Really, watch the movie or the anime, it's funny and very amusing!
My classmate Kevin (who lent me the dvd) said that Mizuho-sensei from "Onegai Teacher" appeared in this series so I was curious. Onegai Twins happend 2 years after Mizuho-sensei and Kei got married. I just find it weird that the whole school knows of the relationship of the teacher and student in this series. And the ending was also a little off. Although the issue of the relative (miyuchi=relative, haha) and stranger was resolved, Maiku and Karen as twins, there are still some questions to be answered. Why were the twins abandoned by their mother? Who is she? Why does Miina have the same picture as the twins? So are they related in some other way? Who is Miina's mother and father? I read from Wiki that this was explained in the manga, and then there is another version in the novel. In heaven's name! What's the real deal?!
Anyway, what I really noticed about this anime is...well, apart from the perversion, the characters are really "different". And I mean that. The girls do not find Marie (an alien) weird floating around and gluttoning on "Prech" (a blooper on Pretz). I thought that Shimazaki was gay (although his frequent flirting with Maiku was really funny and kilig~). Matagu-sempai is a pervert and a potential rappist to his sister (incest! incest!). Ichigo Morino really changed from Ongeai Teacher to Onegai Twins as she is more outgoing but she tends to be really creepy because of her capability to stalk on others and gather private information in her own mysterious ways~ she is a voyeur, I think.
Well~
After Mao lent me a dvd of NANA 2, I was finally able to find a smaller-sized file of the movie and download it. I want to RANT about this movie. So...code-switch.
NANDE YA NEN!?
Bakit pa ba nila pinalitan si Ryuhei Matsuda?! Excuse me, alam kong gwapo si Ren, pero kung looks lang naman ang pag-uusapan, MAS WAFU si Ryuhei kaysa dun sa bagong Ren. TAE!
NANDE YA NEN?!
Bakit pa pinalitan yung Hachi? Ang cute cute na nga nung Hachi sa 1 eh! Putek, ang payat-payat na nga ni NANA, ang payat pa ni Hachi! Di nga, kapag tumatawa yung bagong Hachi, feeling ko malalaglag yung ngipin nya, ang payat kasi ng pisngi eh~ tsaka mas cute yung dating Hachi. Talaga.
NANDE YA NEN?!
Ang onti ng dialogue ni Shin. Cute pa naman. Ehehe.
