sherryillkI finally got off my ass and watched the first episode of HYD 2 today. After some prompting from Diana-chan, I remembered that I had downloaded SAR's hardsub of it and that I hadn't watched it yet.
It's good, it's really good. It's like the first series had never ended and we've jumped right back into the story and the world that it's based in. It's really nostalgic and it's wonderful.
I have to say I'm sorry to see Junpei leave. People have said he has a weird smile and while I don't buy that he's really all that "mysterious," I do think he's pretty cool. I like him as his "cool" self and when he's trying to be plain and geeky. I think I might actually prefer his geeky self because I've always been about hair and glasses and he pulled them both off pretty well. I had hoped he be a rival, trying to win Makino over but I guess it wasn't to be since he turned out to be evil and all. But I don't know if it's just me or not, but he reminds me of a lesser Shirota Yuu. He just has that look to him that I can't help but think of Shirota every time I see him.
And this whole thing with Rui... *makes a face* It's not like I didn't expect it since I think they did this in the manga as well. Along with the fiancee thing. That was extremely predictable but still, I know it ends well since I vaguely remember a boat and her leaving and all that. Still, this season looks to be pretty messy, something I don't particularly like in my shows so... I just want to get to the end already. I already can see myself wrought over this show as I follow it from week to week.
And oh my god, I didn't think I would like the opening theme from Arashi that much. I had downloaded the radio rip of it a while ago and I wasn't too impressed but it grew on me as I watched it with the visuals. I guess that's normal for me because this always happens.
I absolutely adore the song that is playing right after Makino confesses to Doumiyouji's sister (can't remember her name for the life of me). It's the one that continues through Makino's reminiscing about the past with her and Doumiyouji... That woman has such a deep voice and that part where she's singing with it always gets me. I wonder if this is the ending theme? I totally love it and I so can't wait until it's released somewhere. I think it's Utada Hikaru, isn't it? And after listening to it over and over, I'm guessing the song is Flavor of Life? Or Love?
And during the reminiscing part, I totally want to watch the old episodes of HYD1 again. There were some really great moments last season... *sigh* I so can't wait for the next episode now. This new girl promises to be trouble and I don't like it one bit. The fast it resolves (though I suspect it'll take until the end of this season), the happier I'll be.
edit x1: Aha! It was called Flavour of Life as I guessed it might have been! And it was an Utada Hikaru song! I had no idea she could do such a deep voice! It makes me wonder if I shouldn't be trying out her songs since this is amazing!
And I managed to find the PV rip of it! It's not coming out until the 28th of Feburary so I have a bit to wait but the PV is out and someone ripped the mp3. And I have it! ^^ I am definitely listening to it over and over again right now. Totally in love with this song!
