Dense Anime Heroines

Okay, just for warning: I might be completely misunderstood by what I'm going to post here: put let me make this clear.

I DO NOT HATE THESE CHARACTERS THAT WILL BE MENTIONED WHAT SO EVER!

After all, they are one of the main characters. But right now I'm just going to have my opinion posted upon here. Basically this topic is about how frustratingly dense main characters of animes can actually be. (and I mean dense by knowing if guys like them or not)

Dense Girl Number 1:


Again, I do not hate her.
As expected, Hikari Hanazono will be on my list.
Reasons Why She Is Dense:
1. Kei shows his feelings for her in obvious ways-yet she has no clue that he has feelings for her.
2. Hikari may be smart in academics, but in love she is quite dense. (Example: (highlighted for spoiler if people haven't read the manga yet) when Kei confessed to her during the trip to Sakura's place, she asked him, "Are we dating as friends?" Ahaha. I find that very amusing-and at the same time frustrating. I mean, he has shown his love for her countless times, and even (highlighted for slight spoiler) KISSED her, and she still couldn't figure that out. I guess people make them do this on purpose so that the series will go longer. But then again, they shouldn't make her THIS dumb in love. It just seems really..gah. Again I love Hikari, its just that she's dense when it comes to Kei's feelings mostly >.> But really, if they are too dense to find out for a while until he confesses, the guy might be mad that she just figured out now. It's only natural.
Speaking of this subject, lets head on to dense girl number 2.

Dense Girl Number 2:

Sana Kurata.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely ADORE Sana. But there are lots of times she's dense.
Reasons:
1. Akito always did something for her, and helped her through her problems, yet she even told herself in shock that she found out that he had a crush on her. But THEN she was, "NO WAY!" And magically forgot about it the next day.
2. Akito even (highlighted for slight spoiler who haven't seen the anime)KISSED Sana THREE TIMES in the whole series, but yet, Sana STILL could not figure out that he loved her!
3. After all, when they confessed, Akito got mad (naturally) that she just figured that he loved her the day before, even though it had been going on for the longest time before. So yes, being dense in animes doesn't give the best result.

Sana is adorable and fun and funny, but sometimes it's sort of amusing but VERY VERY frustrating when it comes to Akito's feelings (spoiler: before they were seriously dating)

The next girl is not as dense as the others, but since I'm an Amuto fan she is going into the dense column for now:


Hinamori Amu.
I DO NOT HATE HER.
First of all, Amu is a good character, she looks good with pink hair and she's a good herioine, but, what I don't like about her sometimes is that her denseness during the period when (highlighted for spoiler who hasn't seen episode 74 yet or read chapter 28) Ikuto was in her bed and confessed to her. That it's been SO SO frustrating to deal with. I mean, she didn't even believe him! Probably because she wasn't convinced by all that teasing, but she should have realized by the way Ikuto looked at her after she told him she didn't believe him. And that she doesn't realize that Ikuto is practically interested in her; which is obvious why he keeps on going to her balcony and teasing her a lot.
And now she finally realizes it-and then it's pretty much too late now (to her) (highlighted for spoiler if hadn't read chapter 42 of manga) since Ikuto says he's gonna leave. So what's Amu going to do? After all, she was too late in realizing her feelings (though I'm freaking happy about that but really she should've realized Ikuto loved her earlier)


I guess that's it, that's all I could remember for now.
Anyways, PLEASE DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND ME. I DO NOT HATE THESE GIRLS; I LIKE THEM, OKAY?! So don't flame me!
Anyways, that's the end of the blog for now. Except one coming soon!

Umineko No Naku Koro Ni Episode 1 Review

Yes, yes, I can't believe I haven't made a blog for so long. So before I go back to other episodes and things I forgot to blog on-Umineko came out! YAY! So, overall, this episode was pretty good-the plotline seems pretty interesting.

The Opening-Click Here
.............(currently speechless)
EPICNESS!! Amazing. Despite the creepiness-the opening is catchy and mysterious-which makes it awesome. Woot! As expected as the makers of Higurashi anime (I think.) But many characters in this anime remind me of the characters in Higurashi.
Ahem. I'm rambling. On to the episode.

"Beatrice!! Beatrice!!"
O.O I was half expecting to see a violent clip at the beginning-but here I get this old guy talking to a window. (sarcasm) "BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" (again I'm not saying I didn't listen to this..I forgot what he said) But yeah-it is kind of creepy. Yes yes, questions are being asked. "Who the eff is Beatrice?"


!!!! Keiichi! Oh, its my Keiichi!! (with different hair and different clothes) This guy's name escapes me. I think it was..Battler Uroshimiya? (Hopes spelled last name wrong) Anyways-Maria reminds me a mix of Hanyuu and cute Rika-but Hanyuu and Rika are WAY better than Maria! Maria seems sort of annoying..but I have a feeling that she knows more than the people older than her like Higurashi. But I'm just guessing. Because she was the one who was like muttering, "Sinister" with a crazy look on her face like Rena when she was talking about Oyashiro-sama. But really, this dude is real perverted-always talking about those girls chests.
And so her hair reminds m e of Rena...and her eyes.

Ok. Anyways, the first time I saw Jessica, the first thought, "MION WITH BLONDE HAIR!!" Yes, even her voice is like Mion and the way she treats Battler guy is like Keiichi. (Yes, Battler guy) Anyways, blah blah blah blah his family is real rich and all of that (not that I didn't listen..I don't want to explain it all on blog..)
Okay, the boy (or girl) no offense to that servant but I'm not sure if its a boy or girl-i'm writing this blog a while after I watched it but in some pictures I heard that he will have a cleaver like Rena. O.O Creepy but hey this is supposed to be like Higurashi except with a different plot.
AAAAH! The maid with black hair is RENA WITH BLACK HAIR! But a bigger chest than Jessica..surprisingly-anyways, the girl with brown hair and bangs with a flower in her hair reminds me of Takano. Even her voice is like Takano.
Ooh. Takano just owned some girl by calling her a ***** and yeah. Huh. I wonder what that eagle symbol is all about. Anyways, that big painting of Beatrice all of a sudden is sorta creepy..and sort of creepy how Maria knows so much about Beatrice.
Anyways, that guy sold his soul to Beatrice.
Wow. That was sort of stupid-doing that for money-apparently he didn't know the main cast would get -spoiler-. Too bad. But hey-without that there would be no plot.
Ah-those greedy people that only want money and to find the gold. Bah.
Now they are outside at the beach.


Okay-here's where the creepy part begins. When they read Beatrice's tablet or whatever.
Saying that thriteen people (guesses that it is the exact number of the people in the house) will die as sacrifices. And yet Maria looks so happy about it. Strange indeed. Yet that is overdoing it a little yet very creepy at the same time. And that the witch will be revived and no one will live in the house. Wow. Very dramatic. That gave me chills. EEEh. Creepy.

"WAAAH! The witch is awesome! She can do anything with her magic!"
Ha ha. Very funny Maria. Yes she can also make you die. So don't say that's she's awesome.
I think Maria is some how connected with Beatrice because she seems happy about it and she had this sinister smile at the opening(which was really creepy). Well I think that Maria knows a lot about it that it seems sort of mysterious. Like how Maria gave them the scorpions knowing that it'll protect them-she knows more things that they don't.

Anyways...oh her poor little rosie got lost! I'm wondering why she was so frantic about it, it's either that rose is real important or she just likes the rose.
Bah. It's getting annoying now..her crying is getting on my nerves.






SLAP! SLAP SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP! SLAP!
WOAH. That was unexpected. Her mom is going crazy. (Excuse for the repeat of the picture, its the only pic i found of this scene..) But yeah- I think she did a little too much since she did a lot more slaps, but hey she DID get on my nerves. Very annoying.

Anyways-wow she met Beatrice! And got an umbrella? CLIFFHANGER!

And now..here is the enidng part that sort of ruined the mood at the end.

"Now Beatrice, let it begin!! MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!"
The old man laughing at the window and the thunder going on didn't really scare me, but it did get sort of creepy at the end and more than half too much laughing that I was looking at the screen with this facial expression: O.O
Anyways-woot! Can't wait for the next episode! Overall this episode was good as expected as the makers of Higurashi (I think and yeah I know I repeated this sentence) Anyways, that's the end to my blog right now.
