My first anime DVD



Feeling | Slightly bloated (from the maggi mee I just ate)
Listening | Orikasa Fumiko - ほしのはて (Vocal Version)
Thinking | How 最终兵器彼女 relates to me in a certain way

For eons, I'd been a free-loader, leeching off people in torrents and networks. Finally, I'd given my first contribution to the anime industry today. After some studying at Gus, I pop over to JB-Hifi to window shop. About a week or two ago, I'd already spotted the DVD but I just didn't buy it. I knew I was going to spend money (it was either the DVD or briefs), so I decided to buy it. (I almost bought a white PSP!)

She: The Ultimate Weapon or 最终兵器彼女 is produced by Gonzo. Headquarters in Tokyo, they are the very same people who gave you awesome animes like Hellsing in 2001, Full Metal Panic in 2002, Last Exile, Chrono Crusader in 2003 and Gantz and Samurai 7 in 2004. (Okay, now I realise I haven't been up to date in the anime scene. And shit, this feels like how I used to write anime reviews for Playworks.) So anyway, I happened to chance upon this series while I was surfing the Gonzo website some time ago and I'd mentally shortlisted the series. So what is it about? (I'm not too sure myself, I'd only watched 3 episodes but from what I know...) High school girl falls in love with high school boy. They became a couple. Boy discovers she's a military weapon. Both still deeply in love. Will they pull through together? I don't know yet. I'd give a better review when I'm done with the series.

I've my Japanese oral test in less than 12 hours. Wish me luck...
