"Put your wishes to the memories you dont want to forget"


EF-Tale of Memories.Hmmm, when i watched this one, i thought it was just a plain love-story anime. But then, i dont know how or why but this series somehow moved me. Now i think that the story-line, plot, and the concept was amazingly and brilliantly created.




The anime revolves around two protagonists, Hirono Hiro and Asou Renji. On Christmas Eve, Hirono Hiro meets a girl named Miyamura Miyako who was chasing a purse snatcher. Hiro later finds out that Miyako also goes to the same school as he does and they start hanging out together. This made Hiro's childhood friend, Shindou Kei, feel left out. Kei then tries to compete with Miyako for Hiro's affection and a love triangle ensues. The anime also tells the story of Asou Renji. Renji meets a girl named Shindou Chihiro at an abandoned train station. He soon learns that Chihiro suffers from a type of amnesia where her memory span only lasts for 13 hours. He also discovers Chihiro's dream of writing a novel, but she has never been able to fulfill that dream due to her condition. Renji then decides to help her fulfill that dream.

Got the Passion for Fashion?Well, this anime's definitely for you (not for kids though). Paradise Kiss is a masterpiece.The story line is simply amazing and not to mention the designs--jaw-dropping. Gurls, you'll love the dresses shown in this series. You'll also be moved by the love story. So, try watching this, and you might say I was right.hehehe


Yukari is a typical high-school student who listens to her parents and attends school everyday. As she starts to question her way of life, she encounters a group of fashion design students who has a clothing label known as "Paradise Kiss". The group needs to find a model to showcase their designs in an up-coming fashion show and decides to pick Yukari instead. Initially, Yukari was reluctant to be associated with this seemingly eccentric group, but eventually, she realises that they are really nice people. Furthermore, their passion and enthusiasm to follow their ideals and dreams make Yukari realise that she has not been enjoying her life and this motivated her to pursue her own dreams. -animenewsnetwork.com

CLANNAD


When I first heard of this anime, I thought it was something like Gundam Destiny or any robotic anime. But when I watched this, I thought this was a heartwarming story. A lot of the episodes almost made me cry(I can't cry because I didn't watched this at home..hehe). Anyways, the point is that I highly recommend that you watch this.




Tomoya Okazaki is a third year high school student resentful of his life. His mother passed away from a car accident when he was younger, causing his father to resort to alcohol and gambling. This results in fights between the two until Tomoya's shoulder is injured in a fight. Since then, Tomoya has had distant relationships with his father, causing him to become a delinquent over time. While on a walk to school, he meets a strange girl named Nagisa Furukawa who is a year older, but is repeating due to illness. Due to this, she is often alone as most of her friends have moved on. The two begin hanging out and slowly, as time goes by, Tomoya finds his life shifting in a new direction. -animenewsnetwork.com-
