A tale of Autumn

Story...

Endless Love (A Tale of Autumn) is the first soap opera to elicit an emotional response from this reviewer. Soaps are the usual target for mockery due to the presence of bad acting, lame plots and even lamer dialogue. Endless Love, however, managed to overcome these weaknesses. It stands as one of the best soap operas I've ever seen. It's the story of Joon Suh and Eun Suh, who for 14 years believed themselves to be blood-siblings. They share a close bond as shown in the scenes of their happy and idyllic childhood. Yet an accident when Eun Suh was only 14 revealed that she was actually switched at birth with another baby. Her real family is composed of a single mother and a rascal brother living in the throes of poverty. The daughter (Shinae) who lives with that poor family is Joon Suh's real blood sister. After some dramatic scenes, the two daughters are switched back to their real families. Joon Suh's family leaves for the States as a way to start over while Eun Suh stays behind with her poor mother and starts longing for her "brother." Eight years later, Joon Suh returns to Korea in search for Eun Suh. They meet again via Joon Suh's best friend, Tae Sukh, who also happens to be attracted to Eun Suh. The two former siblings are deliriously happy to be reunited, but complications take place as they realize that they are falling for each other. Joon Suh is already engaged to Yumei, while Eun Suh has just "accepted" Tae Sukh's declarations of "love". To make matters worse, their parents cannot accept a romantic relationship between them as they still see Eun Suh and Joon Suh as siblings. These complications drive the plot to an ending that will surely melt even the stoniest of hearts.

Despite its predictable storyline, it still succeeds in conveying sincere emotions, largely due to the chemistry of the two leads, Song Seung Hun and Song Hye Gyo. Song Seung Hun in particular, was amazing in the role of the strong and honorable Joon-Suh (Johnny). It was a character that barely had any speaking lines, yet Seung Hun hit every emotional note required for the scene. His expressive face (particularly his gorgeous eyes) clearly conveyed all of his character's conflicting emotions: his love for Eun Suh (Jenny), his respect for his parents and his affection for his friends. Everything about his acting was restrained, yet he never came off stiff or wooden. He projected strength and vulnerability without resorting to exaggerated theatrics common amongst young actors. It's definitely an amazing performance which sets him apart from his peers. There is no doubt in my mind that only Seung Hun, with his talent and maturity, could have played this challenging role. The other actors in the movie simply played their characters in a stereotypical manner that didn't stand out, but didn't disappoint either.

Ichi Rittoru No Namida

Based on true story..

This dorama is about a girl who was diagnosed with a disease called Spinocerebellar Degeneration when she was 15 years old, and was able to continue her life until her death at the age of 25 years old.
The plot is based on the true story of a Japanese girl named Kito Aya, who had the same disease. She kept writing in her diary to remember her experiences until she could no longer hold a pen. Aya simply wished to live until the end of her life, and the purpose of writing in the diary was to remind herself to not give up. She shed tears many times, at the same time encompassed by the rich love and support from her family, friends, and boyfriend. Her diary “1 Litre of Tears” was published after her death, because of its inspiring and courageous message of, “Just being alive is such a lovely and wonderful thing.” So far, over 18,000,000 copies of her diary have been sold.
Story...

This dorama features Sawajiri Erika, Nishikido Ryou, Narumi Riko, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Jinnai Takanori and Fujiki Naohito. Sawajiri Erika has powerfully brought out the character of Aya, and people who watch this dorama will feel compassion for her while she suffers from the illness. My tears flowed after almost every episode as I questioned myself, “What would I do if I were Aya?” This is a dorama where you can see a 15 year old young girl who was able to face her disease bravely, and tried her best to treasure the time she spent with her friends, family and boyfriend everyday she could.
To me, this was one of the best doramas of 2005, mainly because the reality of this story has enlightened me. I realized that my life is not that tough compared to those who are suffering from an incurable disease. “1 Litre of Tears” stood out for a reason: it is not because Aya was upset because of her disease, she was touched by the love and patience she received from her friends and family. I was amazed by the braveness with which she chose to live her life, as a strong girl who was only 15 years old, yet managed to face her cruel fate with a positive outlook, and tried her best to do whatever she could by herself

This Film is amazing... and I cry for i litre of tears... and this film has a lot of moral. And do you know this film is based on true story of japenese girl name ikeuchi aya... At japan the diaries of aya was sold 18.000.000 copies... And "Buku Harian Nayla" follow the story... I hate it...

Sassy girl-Chunyang

Story:

Delightful Girl Chun Hyang is the 2005 interpretation of the Legend of Chun-hyang. The story begins when Lee Mong-ryong is transferred from Seoul to a high school in Namwon, North Jeolla Province and the story really starts when he accidentally shot an embarrassing video of her while filming something unrelated for his childhood friend Chae rin. Chun-hyang, shocked and mortified when she saw the video, immediately smashed Mong-ryong's phone into pieces. Mong-ryong was upset and vowed to find a way to force Chun-Hyang to pay for his phone's replacement. As a result, they were constantly in contact, made easier by the fact that Mong-Ryong enrolled in the same school as Chun-hyang when he moved to Namwon. As part of his revenge, Mong-Ryong made a point of bullying Chun-hyang at every opportunity. In a dramatic turn of events, Mong-Ryong and Chun-Hyang find themselves forced into matrimony after unintentionally spending the night together (despite no sexual encounter having taken place). A top student, Chun-Hyang helps Mong-Ryong earn the necessary grades to gain admission to the University of Korea.
A new conflict in "Delightful Girl..." arises when Byun Hak-do falls in love with Chun-hyang, though the feelings are not returned. Rather than give up, Byun Hak-do becomes determined to make her to fall in love with him at any cost.

Spring Waltz

Summary...

the story begins with Eun-young’s plane ride to Austria, where she happens to sit next to Song Lee Na, who is on her way to meet her childhood love, Jae-Ha. However, Jae-Ha (Chris Y.), who has now grown up to be a young, accomplished pianist in Austria, seems not pleased with meeting Lee Na again after 15 years for some reason. Eun-young, on the other hand, excited about her first overseas trip, bumps into Phillip (Jae-Ha’s manager and best friend), who has mistaken her as Lee Na whom he was suppose to pick up at the airport. The four meets, each in different turns of circumstances and incidents, and their story of love, fate and destiny begins.
On her train ride to a classical concert - a gift from Phillip – Eun-young meets Jae-Ha, who is also on his way to his concert. Despite him displaying his reluctance and indifference to be friendly to Eun-young, the two are immediately attracted to each other – especially for Jae-Ha, because of the way she reminds him of his long-lost childhood love (and that is not Song Lee-Na for him). After the concert, Jae-Ha meets Eun-young again, but soon finds out that she is in fact Phillip’s love interest. Even with Lee Na by his side, and the sense of disappointment that his best friend is interested in Eun-young, Jae-Ha can’t stop thinking about her. Eun-young, realizing that Jae Ha is a renowned pianist and Lee Na’s first love, also find herself drawn to Jae-Ha time to time.

Selain Anime aku juga suka film Jepang dan Korea loh... Jadi ini beberapa sinopsis ceritanya...

Spirited Away

Of all the strange and wondrous creatures who inhabit Miyazaki Hayao's Spirited Away (2001), only a handful are as thematically important as the witches Yubaba and Zeniba. As Zeniba says, the two are identical twins but exact opposites. Yubaba, the cruel taskmaster of an other-worldly bathhouse, turns young Chihiro's parents into pigs and controls Chihiro's friend Haku. Zeniba, by contrast, is relatively caring and helpful. Miyazaki's world, like the sisters, is dualistic; it's split between good and evil, humans and spirits, identity and anonymity, dependency and self-reliance, past and present. As Chihiro learns after passing through the dark tunnel like Alice falling through the rabbit hole, this world is also divided between selfishness and duty, childhood and adulthood, memory and forgetfulness, and presence and absence. There's a strong yin-and-yang, push-and-pull dynamic at work here.
In Spirited Away, Miyazaki is interested in many things, and the battle between opposites is chief among them. There's a danger in creating such a dualistic world because dualism too often simplifies the complexities of life. But Miyazaki avoids doing this. Yubaba is not entirely, consistently cruel. She displays motherly affection for that gigantic baby of hers and occasionally praises and rewards Chihiro, particularly after Chihiro's visually stunning battle with the "Stink God," a humongous amalgam of pollution that comes slithering into the bathhouse in search of, well, a much-needed bath. Zeniba is not entirely, consistently good. She nearly kills Haku after he has taken something from her. In Spirited Away, things and beings are more than they seem: a river spirit devours other spirits but treats Chihiro kindly; a friend might be a dragon, which might be a spirit; the cantankerous, six-armed man who operates the bathhouse boiler room turns out to be friendly and helpful.
Wonderfully, Miyazaki presents all this so naturally, with so little exposition, that the fantastic seems realistic and the world of this film seems as if it has always existed. Much of the film's imaginative realism exists in the details, in the wrinkles in Yubaba's face, the transparency of the river spirits, the pipes and gears in the bathhouse, the curious eyeballs of the soot creatures who work in the boiler room. The similarities between Spirited Away and Alice in Wonderland have been made before, but I don't know if many have insisted that it's the look of both that is truly similar. John Tenniel's drawings, and then Mervyn Peake's, of Alice's adventures work the way Miyazaki's animation does: they make imaginary worlds intimately familiar to us by, to borrow Susan Napier's words, creating "a topography that is exotic ... but at the same time so richly realized down to minute details that it seems at least potentially contiguous to our own world."
And let's not forget just how fantastic Miyazaki's universe looks on a purely aesthetic level, especially in those wide vistas during Chihiro's train trip to Zeniba's, when water expands as far as the eye can see and clouds glide like glaciers. The beauty of this place, like so much else, has its own opposites, including the grotesquery of radish spirits, the Stink God, even of Yubaba herself. It is in this in-between condition where Chihiro finds herself, stranded as she is between childhood and adulthood, immaturity and maturity. Yubaba calls her a "lazy, spoiled crybaby" and changes her name to "Sen." Chihiro even momentarily attains the transparency of a spirit. But in getting a job to sustain herself and in facing numerous challenges (including keeping that Paul Bunyan of a baby quiet and getting a ravenous river spirit to leave the bathhouse), she learns not simply responsibility but the importance of sacrifice. She wants to rescue her parents and leave the bathhouse for good, but instead decides to save Haku, who is dying. And in doing so, Chihiro grows out of that dualistic existence and moves closer to becoming a mature young woman.
She's not the only one struggling with her identity, however. To Miyazaki, Japan itself is caught between two worlds, the traditional and the modern. It slid down its own rabbit hole during the economic collapse of the 1990s, from which it has yet to recover. The abandoned amusement park in which Chihiro and her parents find themselves at the film's beginning is, as Chihiro's father remarks, one of the many casualties of Japan's economic growth, and Miyazaki presents modern Japan as an excessively consumerist culture perilously close to forgetting a sort of pastoral traditionalism; suburbs expand, Stink Gods pollute traditional bathhouses, spirits lust for gold. The maintenance of tradition and custom are important to Miyazaki and, as with so much else in the film, he expresses his values in the smallest of details. I had no idea how important Chihiro's eating of rice balls was until I read Napier's interpretation:
[the] quiet scene of Chihiro eating rice balls, a staple of Japanese culture ... has tremendous emotional depth, demonstrating the traditional values that form the heart of the film and give it its emotional and moral framework. The fact that the scene begins with Chihiro's acknowledgment that she has almost forgotten her name reminds the viewer of her vulnerability to the erasure of identity
Erasure comes not just with forgetting one's name but one's past as well. Chihiro needs to remember her parents and who she is the same way Japan needs to remember its cultural ancestry. Memory is crucial for a healthy existence; so is community. Chihiro survives because Haku helps her and succeeds in her challenges by replying on others, from the boiler man and his soot creatures to the river spirit called No Face. Again, it's a minute detail that carries Miyazaki's truism; Zeniba gives Chihiro a ring for her hair, telling her it will bring protection because its threads were woven by her friends. Miyazaki is conveying something here: the way out of confusion, limbo, malaise, fear, and societal degradation takes more than rugged individualism. It involves a sort of congenial collectivism that, at its heart, requires the uncomplicated but unfortunately uncommon act of setting aside self-interest and simply giving a damn.

Ultra Maniac

Information...
Ultra Maniac ( Urutora Maniakku?) is a magical girl manga series, authored by Wataru Yoshizumi, which was later adapted into an anime series, produced by Ashi Productions and Animax.
The series is a romantic comedy featuring eighth-grader Ayu Tateishi, a tennis club member, and her transfer student friend, Nina Sakura, who is actually a trainee witch from the magical kingdom.
The manga was originally serialized between 2002 and 2004 in Shueisha's Ribon manga magazine, spanning 5-tankobon volumes. It was also later licensed for North American distribution by Viz Media.

Story...
Ayu Tateishi is a normal middle school student, until the fateful day when she finds the crying Nina Sakura outside the school, looking very dejected. Nina explains that she lost something very dear to her earlier during the day so, Ayu, being a kind girl, offers to help Nina find her lost item. The girls hunt for Nina's lost mini-computer, which is eventually found by Ayu. To repay Ayu for her kindness, Nina struggles to decide whether to let Ayu in on her 'big secret'. Nina is actually from the Magic Kingdom and is a magic-using witch. However, Ayu doesn't realize this immediately, being sort of clueless with computers and merely thinking that Nina is somewhat geeky. Nina struggles with her secret overnight, and in the morning before school confides her secret in Ayu. Of course, Ayu doesn't believe her, since magic is the spice of fairy tales in the real world. The story continues as friendship between Ayu and Nina blossoms, romance between Ayu and Kaji grows, and Nina's magically-inclined friends visit from the Magic Kingdom, to the chagrin of all involved.

Flame Of Recca

Story...

Flame of Recca ( Rekka no Honō?) is a Japanese anime and manga series by Nobuyuki Anzai.
Both the anime and manga were licensed for North American distribution in English by Viz Media and United Kingdom distribution in English by Gollancz Manga.
Flame of Recca is about a highschool student named Recca Hanabishi, who aspires to be a ninja and is obsessed with anything ninja-related. After meeting a girl named Yanagi Sakoshita, whom he acknowledged to be his princess ( hime), and a mysterious woman named Shadow ( Kage Hōshi), who apparently attacked him for no reason at all, he finds that he not only comes from a long-dead ninja clan of 400-years past, he also can control his personal Flame. Recca and his friends (Domon Ishijima, Fuko Kirisawa, Tokiya Mikagami, Kaoru Koganei) must grow stronger in order to protect Yanagi from being taken by Kurei and his adoptive father, the evil Kouran Mori, who wants eternal life, and believes that Yanagi's mysterious healing power is the key to it.

Recca's Dragons:

1 Nadare
Dan En, Fire Ball
The first of Recca's Flame Dragons to submit. She's used relatively often, and creates fireballs.

2 Saiha
En Jin, Fire Blade (flame foundation: Falcon)
The second to be tamed, Saiha creates a blade which can cut through nearly anything.

3 Homura
Ben En, Fire Whip / Strength (flame foundation: Snake)
Recca's third Flame Dragon to submit. He is a strength-enhancing flame. Recca uses this Dragon usually around his fist, or as a whip. When Recca uses the flame Dragon around his hand and arm, his flame takes the shape of the Dragon and he strikes the enemy with his fist. This attack is one of Recca's strongest moves.

4 Setsuna
Shun En, Fire Flash / Fire Spray
A very bitter, very angry Flame Dragon. It is the Fourth to submit to Recca. Setsuna will burn anyone who looks into his eye; otherwise, he is blind. Genjuro attempted to steal him from Recca. He is a flash of fire so intense it will burn anything it is aimed at into ashes.

5 Madoka
Kekkai En, Fire Barrier (flame foundation: Turtle)
The fifth of Recca's Flame Dragons to submit. He is the 'king of the impenetrable barrier' and seems to be a relatively nice dragon, although he's just as arrogant as the others are. But he has a pleasant, kindly voice. Recca can also use the barrier around his enemy to prevent them from moving or killing themself.

6 Rui
Gen En, Fire Illusion
The sixth Flame Dragon, a Dragon of Illusion, who bestows her powers on those who answer her quiz. Then, she makes illusions which the Flame Master thinks up into reality.

7 Kokuu
Hadö En, Fire Beam
The seventh Flame Dragon, who appears as an ecchi little old man with a scar over one eye. He steals Recca's six dragons before his fight with Kurei, and teaches him how to properly combine multiple dragons into one attack, a blast of fire. He tends to appear in human form more frequently than the others, and seems to have some kind of friendship with Resshin. He is known as the pervert of all the dragons. When Recca uses Koku, he comes out and shoots a huge beam of fire through his mouth. This is Recca's second strongest technique. In the Ura Bato Satsujin, Raiha said if Kurei got hit by one of those, he'd be knocked out cold.

8 Resshin / Ouka
Unknown, In the manga he transforms the dead into living flames like Kurenai (flame foundation: Phoenix)
The eighth Flame Dragon. He is the spirit of Recca and Kurei's biological father, and is neutral in the final fight between Kurei and Recca. While he lends his assistance to his sons when they fight against Mori Kouran's clone, he does not give his powers to either. Resshin absorbs souls and turns them into Recca's flame

DNAngel

Daisuke Niwa is a 14 year-old-boy who has a special DNA due to his genes. Whenever he sees or thinks of his crush, Risa Harada, he turns into Dark. Dark was created by "The Black Wings," a very large piece of artwork, along with Krad. Krad is the complete opposite of Dark, and is from the Hikari family like Dark is to the Niwa family.
Later on, after being rejected by Risa, Daisuke starts to notice Riku more often then later on he falls in love with her. Riku first thought Daisuke was a idiot but then she realises that she likes Daisuke. Riku had a crush on Daisuke near the beginning, way before Daisuke liked her. But until Daisuke is able to tell Riku about his condition and she can love both of him and Dark, he'll keep transforming. Unfortunately Riku, who had her first kiss stolen by Dark, now thinks Dark as a "pervert" and hates him for kissing her. She loves Daisuke and cares about him a lot, but on the other hand she doesn't know Daisuke's other half is Dark and she hates Dark for kissing her.
Satoshi Hiwatari is a student at the same school that the Harada twins and Daisuke. He goes to keep an eye on Daisuke because he is the Commander of the police force and heads the investigation on Dark. Satoshi has Krad in him just like how Daisuke has Dark in him.
Interestingly enough, Risa falls in love with Dark, and proceeds to do all sort of absurd things to get him to go out with her, which he eventually does. She has also kissed him on more than one occasion, and it is hinted that Dark loves Risa; but Dark claims that he does not love her, and that (according to the anime) Risa's grandmother, Rika, is the only woman he has ever loved. In the manga, Dark's reasons for rejecting Risa seem to be so that she is not hurt by the fact that he is immortal and not really human, and therefore cannot participate in a functional relationship. As expected, Risa doesn't really listen to him and continues to try to get him to go out with her.

Yu Yu Hakusho

Yusuke Urameshi is nothing more than a street-brawling delinquent with a typical tough guy approach to everything. Yusuke's mother Atsuko, an alcoholic, had him at the age of 14 and shows little interest in raising her son. He has a reserved seat in the guidance counselor's office, and every single punk in the city is trying to take him on. Yusuke is pretty fed up with life.
However, no one expects a sudden act of heroism on his part: he dies trying to save a little boy from a speeding car. In fact, when he arrives in the afterlife, he is informed that no one was expecting him to die that way, and were not prepared for his arrival.
After numerous tests to gauge his worth, Yusuke is eventually revived, and is assigned to work for the Spirit Realm as a detective investigating demonic cases in the human world. He comes into spiritual abilities of his own, and enlists the help of numerous friends from Reikai (spirit world), Makai (demon world) and Ningenkai (human world) to aid him in his cases, and fight off demons and humans seeking to usurp and rule over all three worlds.

CardCaptor Sakura

Plot...

The show begins as a simple girls' anime of the magical girl genre. Ten-year-old Sakura Kinomoto opens a mysterious book in her father's study and accidentally lets loose the magical Clow Cards. By her ability to open the seal, Sakura is revealed to have special powers, and it becomes her responsibility to retrieve the missing cards. The task involves finding each card, battling its magical personification, and sealing it away. She is assisted by Cerberus (Kerberos, also known as Kero-chan), the Beast of the Seal assigned to protect the cards, who was asleep when Sakura opened the Clow Book (He was on a "nap" at the time, which lasted 30 years). Kero-chan, who looks like an animated plush toy throughout most of the series (his "borrowed" form), guides Sakura as she develops her Cardcaptor powers. In the first episode, he presents her with the Key of the Seal, which allows her to fight and capture the Clow

Information...

CardsCardcaptor Sakura (Kādokyaputā Sakura?), also known as Card Captor Sakura (with the space) and often abbreviated as CCS, is a magical girl manga series from the well-known all-female artist team CLAMP. Cardcaptor Sakura is published in Japan by Kodansha and was previously serialized in Nakayoshi. The series consists of twelve volumes.
The anime television series (1998-2000) based on the manga consists of 70 half-hour episodes (spread over three seasons), two theatrically released movies, and several specials. Nelvana produced an English dub of the anime series, titled Cardcaptors, which aired in English-speaking countries.[1] An unedited English translation, entitled Cardcaptor Sakura, was broadcast in its English-language networks by the anime television network Animax. Cardcaptor Sakura has also been released in English-speaking countries in an unedited and subtitled DVD under its original title.
As the series progresses, there is a pattern of foreshadowing and dreams that lead to an unusual conclusion. Like Magic Knight Rayearth, one of CLAMP's previous works, Cardcaptor Sakura is a new twist on an old genre.
Due in part to its animation and characterization, Cardcaptor Sakura has a wide fanbase on the Internet, particularly in the categories of yaoi, shōjo, yuri, and moé.
Most of the characters in Cardcaptor Sakura also appear in one of CLAMP's later manga series.

Alice Academy

Story...

Gakuen Alice or Alice Academy is the story of a 10-year old girl, Mikan Sakura, who is devastated when her best friend, Hotaru Imai, transfers to a special school for "genius" kids in Tokyo . Mikan runs away from home to seek out her dear friend, and soon finds that the school Hotaru transferred to, Alice Academy, is specifically for children who have special powers called "Alices". After a teacher at Alice Academy, Narumi, discovers that Mikan has a unique Alice, she is admitted into the school. The story is primarily about Mikan and her experiences at the academy.

Alices
In the story there are many types of Alices. The five main types of Alices are:
Latent Ability- Alices that are super powers (flying, mind reader, illusion, etc)
Technical - Alices that are based on technology and research fields (drawings, stuffed animals, invention)
Somatic type- Alices based on the body of humans, animals, and other living things (animal pheromone, voice pheromone, dog ears);
Special Ability Types - Alices that don't exactly fit in the three types of Alices above; and
Dangerous Ability Types - Alices that may be one of the above but are considered dangerous.
Every Alice is of one of four shapes, that specify how much of it can be used and how often.
Childhood Alice: They start out as an Alice but grow up to be an ordinary adult.
Diffuse: The Alice is always available, but at a relatively low power level.
Intermittent: The Alice can only be used for a short period at any time, but at a relatively high power level.
Limitless: The Alice can be used as often and as much as desired, but each use impacts against the user's own life and can kill them if overused.
