Eureka Seven

Hey! Did you know it's my Birthday tomorrow?~ ;)

Eureka Seven is probably the strangest mechas I've found! There's this hobby a lot of people do in this anime, "lifting". But using specially electrically charged winds and using special boards one can essentially surf in the sky! Pretty cool, but it gets better! Robotic suits, called LFO's, can also lift, leaving a snazzy light trail behind them. Renton is one of the many who love to lift. Unfortunately, he lives in a town without the waves needed to do it properly!  But when a LFO crashes into his shed he becomes involved with the elusive lift gang, Gekkostate. He immediately falls in love with Eureka and spends all his free time trying to woo her.
It is a very simple plot! Nothing particularly shocking happens... there's not even any cliffhangers! The whole thing almost seems boring! But it boils down to being a sweet plot about Renton building relationships with all the people on the Gekkostate with somee fancy LFO fights here and there. It's hard to believe that this vaguely romance plot with fights manages to last for 50 episodes!

Hana Kimi

Ooooh this is new! A Taiwanese drama! As recommended by 'Bte'.

It's another gender-bender, but this time more serious! Lu Rui Xi deliberately disguises her self a boy to enter an all boys school all for the sake of being in the same school as Zuo Yi Quan a high jumper that Rui Xi idolises. However, by the time Rui Xi transfers she finds that Quan has already forsaken high-jumping, so, as his number 1 fan she sets about getting him back in the game. Meanwhile, in a soccer match with her new friend, Jin Xiu Yi, Rui Xi gets knocked unconscious, and when Quan lifts her to take to the sick bay he works out that she's a girl. Since they are room mates he thinks it'd be awkward if he knew so he keeps his discovery to himself and just watches Rui Xi's attempts at manliness.
Rui Xi goes through numerous trials to keep her gender a secret and Xiu Yi has to battle with his 'homosexual' feelings. Although it is quite romantic and a lot of lovey-dovey feeling develop about, it's more focused on the comedy and the problem of faking your gender. Which you may know is what I wanted more of in Coffee Prince!

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai

Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae wo Bokutachi wa Mada Shiranai. Yes, that is the real title of the anime. No, I do not know what it means. But I do know what it's about. Menma died young in an accident and resulted in all kinds of trauma for her five close friends. Soon after her death, the five friends drifted apart, they grow up and have little to do with one another. However, when Menma's ghost appears before Jinta they slowly get pulled back together again. It's a very short anime (only 11 episodes), but it's incredibly bitter-sweet throughout.
The art is really cute and simple. The scenes from their childhood are the cutest because they're all so tiny!! They had cute chubby faces and glistening eyes! The teenagers are not so cute. Rather they do a good job of representing the ordinary youth. However Menma is the best! She has these spectacular blue eyes and everything else is white and grey. Also for some scenes they made her outline fainter to maker her look just like a ghost. It's really cool!!

Kaze no Stigma

'Kaze no Stigma', or 'Stigma of the wind', is a really wierd anime that reminds me way too much of 11 eyes. It's set in a Japan from this kind of era where certain people have 'magic' powers. The Kannagi family are the elite Enjutsu, fire users. Kazuma was born into the head family and automatically the heir to the Kannagi family. However after being easily beaten by a 12year old girl his father disowned him. After some years training Kazuma returns to Japan as a Fuujutsu, someone who can control the wind. He proves himself by beating his father and the Kannagi heir, Ayano. However, when Kazuma's brother, Ren, gets involved in a family feud Kazuma's skills are hired to save him. From then on we basically see Kazuma get more and more jobs from the Kannagi family and watch Ayano get more and more annoyed at his involvement.
