Lupin III vs. Conan

The impossible is now a reality when manga's most famous thief, Lupin III, finally met manga's greatest detective, Conan Edogawa. I'm just imagining this before but just last January, This TV special was released in Japan.

I didn't actually know that it already exists until I saw a picture of both Conan and Lupin. I knew about Lupin many years before Conan and since then, I already started to idolize him. On the other hand, I also like Conan because I want to become a detective since I was a child. I like them both in different ways.

They are the greatest. So the question of everyone is: Who will win? I haven't watched the [movie] yet but I think I already know what will happen. They might become friends in the end and/or it will be a draw. If you are watching detective Conan, it might be like the cases with Kaito Kid. If you are watching Lupin III, it might be the case where Lupin give up for the sake of Fujiko or Zenigata or other people's sake.

It's already out there but I can't watch it. Why? There are no subtitles! So please, I'm calling anybody who has a good heart and has the capability to sub it. Please do so. Many people are waiting for an English subtitle.

School Days (12-episode anime)

I always want to watch Japanese animations or anime for short. According to most of my Japanese students in my job, animes are only for little kids. But I told them that in my country, Philippines, even teens and some adults watch anime.

I already watched a lot of animes since i was a kid. Now that I'm a little older, I feel that I'm still a kid. But of course the genre of the animes i am watching has changed. I pick those animes that have a sense. Since I am a little busy in my work now, i can't watch animes with long storylines anymore, so i prefer those anime's which only have 12 or 26 episodes (I'll discuss about the list later). I choose animes depending on the plot, humor, logic and of course, cuteness of the (girl) characters.

That's why yesterday, when i was browsing some videos on youtube, i came upon this anime that looks familiar--School Days. I think i've already seen the title a lot of times along the sidewalks (dvd vendors) and anime lists but it didn't interest me 'coz i think it's a girl thing.

I just finished watching Dragonball GT last week so i don't have any anime next in line aside from Tom and Jerry which i think would not affect much of my time since it's not addicting. I kept on browsing and learned that Schools Days has only 12 episodes. So, i gave it a try.

It has an English subtitle so it's easy to understand. In the first part, the plot is very serious and the girl is so cute so i decided to continue watching. As an episode after an episode passed, I'm already thinking if i should continue watching. It's not because the story is bad. In fact, the story is so good that's why i don't want to continue watching. It has a bite of the reality. There's a great possibility that you can see yourself or your friends in the personality of each character.

I stopped after episode 9 to go back to work. i feel like i don't want to continue watching anymore. After my work, being so disturb with my curiosity about the ending, i continued watching. Just to find out that it was the best and worst love story i watched.

You can watch School Days from my youtube channel: here
