Saturday, 17 March 2007 - Tanya: "I Smell A Dead Blog......" NOT!! :

well, I've got to say that I'm getting a little lazy to post anything in my blog, so sorry about that. this time around is mainly because I want to enjoy my holiday to the fullest before hell starts again next week. even when I haven't post for a few days, nothing much happened. the only special event is the outing on Thursday.

Mingyi, Zhecong, James and I went out to Bugis and spent our whole time in the arcade O.o. actually, we ate lunch with Marvin and Ruifeng at the beginning, but they had to go home. anyways, it was fun! though the enjoyment starts to fade at around 6. we started off playing games like Time Crisis 4, Ghost Squad, Outrun 2. oh yea!! Outrun 2 has a new machine thing! now, it can sit two people for one screen, so the machine is actually one car which can sit two people. because of this, a new gameplay was added to the game. it is the 2-player cooperative mode. its prety simple. all you need to do, is choose who starts first then the person will start driving. after a few minutes (sometimes a few seconds), the control will be switched to the other player and he takes over where the first person left off. its quite interesting, but if you have a noob playing with you, then it might get a little frustrating. at the end we stayed at the part with the stacker machines.

today is the release of Kanon's LAST episode!!! hell yeah!! but I won't be reviewing it... because I still have a few in line. all I can say that the ending was.. ok. its not really a memorable one or anything. I feel that the producers are trying to squeeze in too many things. I think with 25 or 26 episodes, they will be able to make a proper closure to the series.

============================================

[Kanon(2006) Ep 22 - Symphony of Reminiscence]

well, the depression of Naiyuki starts in this episode. although Naiyuki is a girl with very good character, we were shown in this episode that she is too dependant on her mother. without her mother, she is nothing. she does not have the motivation to live anymore, and confines herself to her little dark room, just like a closed heart. however, she cannot be fully blamed for this outcome. it is normal for a person to feel this way, especially if you have been living with him/her alone for your whole life and then he/she got into an accident. what Naiyuki did not know, at the moment, is that she is not alone. she is totally blinded by her mother's accident and even result in chasing Yuuichi out of her room when he tries to console her.

her heart began to "close" when she is in the hospital with Yuuichi. their principal, who drove them to the hospital, left soon afterwards. for the whole time in the waiting room, all Naiyuki did was sit on a couch and kept staring downwards with blank eyes. all Yuuichi could do is watch over her.

while Naiyuki was looking down, she was actually blaming herself for what happened to Akiko, thinking that it is her fault for asking Akiko to buy the strawberry cake. Yuuichi shouted at her for saying unnecessary things and then Naiyuki went into her room. this is where the confinement starts. from here, Naiyuki stayed inside her room and did not care at all about anything which is outisde of her room, including Kitagawa, Kaori, and Yuuichi who tried to console her.

aside from Naiyuki's situation, we were shown that Yuuichi remembered what happened to Ayu. it was after Naiyuki chased him out of her room, and Yuuichi lied on his bed and dozed off. in his dream, he recalled rushing off to the tree where Ayu and him called a school. he intended to give Ayu a present since its his last meeting with her seven years ago. after talking for a little bit, Ayu decided to climb up the tree. while sitting on one of the branches, a sudden gust of wind blew and Ayu starts to lose her balance. as it is seven years ago, Ayu was still a child and therefore very light. sadly, Ayu fell off the branch and looking at the way she fell, it seems like she went head-first.

Yuuichi immediately woke up afterwards with a shock. he grabbed Ayu's bag and the little angel toy and rushed off to the place where the big tree is. Yuuichi was having a lot of difficulties because there was a blizzard at that time. after a while, Yuuichi couldn't hold on any longer and collapse onto the snow-covered ground. when he was lying on the ground, he asked himself "If I stay still like this, will I be able to go to where she is?". in that last flashback, Yuuichi saw Ayu died with a smile on her face. so this explains why he questioned himself.

just then, Makoto suddenly appeared out of nowhere. and lied on top of Yuuichi's body. Makoto said Yuuichi's name and then car's light appeared infront. Makoto's sudden appearance here has definitely leave a big question mark, but it will be explained in the next episode I think.

the episode ended off with a little flashback. it shows that Yuuichi gave Ayu the present which he had intended to give and it turns out to be a hairband. at this point of time, the audience is probably wondering, how did Yuuichi manage to give Ayu the present? didn't he throw it on the ground after seeing Ayu fall off from that tree? also, isn't that fateful day, the day Yuuichi had to leave the town? so how is it possible that Yuuichi manage to give Ayu the present? well, this will be explained in the later episode so don't worry! =).
