BOYS BE...


I'm watching Boys Be again. It's really one of my most favorite animes! ^___^ Somehow, each episode always leaves a bittersweet feeling within me... Anyhoo, I just want to write some of my thoughts about it...

SUMMER: BASEBALL LOVERS
"You don't need a reason to like something. When you like something, you just do." -Horikawa Natsue
Nee, I really love this episode! I am such a big fan of Kenjo x Natsue! Somehow I see in them my ideal picture of what a couple should be. ^__^ I think it's wonderful how Natsue changed Kenjo, how her cheerful disposition somehow influenced him and gave him direction and encouragement. I wanna be like her. I want to make a difference in other people's lives, especially to those I truly care for. Ehek. ^^;; And Natsue reminds me a bit of myself, although unfortunately, I am not that cute... ^^;;

"Sempai, will you spend New Year's Eve with me?" -Horikawa Natsue
I also love the concept of Kenjo being a little too tall for Natsue. ^__^ I think it is really cute when a girl has to sort-of stand on tiptoes and the guy has to stoop a bit to uh, kiss. //blushes and pictures New Year episode// Anou... //squirms// I don't think that will never happen to me though because I am relatively tall... Oh well. ^o^

"Not by letter.. not by phone... I just want to see him..." -Morio Junna
Also I really felt all mushy and impressed in that "Morijun episode" when in the end, Kenjo called up Natsue cause.. well, wala lang. ^^;; I think Natsue was probably feeling a little insecure that's why she kept calling him. And well, sometimes boys can be so insensitive! Lolz ^__^ I am happy Kenjo realized this eventually, that well, sometimes when you communicate with people you care for, you don't really need to have any reason. I guess when you're in love, you can be a little uh, "unreasonable"? o__0 I really don't know de-su! //laughs//

AUTUMN: SWALLOW
This is my ULTIMATE MOST FAVORITE episode! It not only has powerful BGM ("Memoria" rocks!), it always, always leaves me overwhelmed with emotions. Ehek.. ^^;;

"Aki, Yumi, will you go to the shop with me?" -Nitta Chiharu
Chiharu - I think she's really a um, "lousy" girl. (Actually, I want to call her something else but I don't want to say foul words ^^;;) And I think this is one of her ultimate "cheap" moments. My gosh, she actually has the nerve to act all maarte. Feh. I think people who do not know how to be faithful to the one they love should be drowned in the Marianas Trench. I can't believe she actually kissed that guy! Maybe she was lonely, maybe she was carried away with her emotions, maybe the guy was just too tempting, but D-U-H! Mind over heart de-su! A guy back home loves you and you go around flirting with another guy!? AND KISSING!? 0___o But I guess everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves to be forgiven and given a second chance. At least that's probably what Himura Kenshin would say. But if it were up to me -- two words: Marianas Trench. ^___^

"I like you Kyoichi... but... I don't want to be Chiharu's replacement.." -Sayama Shoko
Kyoichi - I sympathize with him because I know his heart is broken. Very very broken. So give the guy some credit, at least he's trying to move on. But anyhoo, what really made me angry was this: Sayama tells him how she truly felt but makes it clear that she is no panakip-butas, and when she starts to walk away, he wraps his arms around her and tells her, "It's not like that". And this is what really bugs me so much: he didn't show up for their meeting! (And he lost that bracelet she gave him. Feh.) Anou, I know he didn't mean to do what he did, but I am really pissed off at people who do not keep their word! For me, they are really the worst kind. Because when you say something, you should be honest and you should mean it. When you say... promise... something, especially when it's important, the one you're telling it to would believe you and would be keeping such hopes and expecting you to keep your word. I mean, that's why promises are made right? So that they should be kept? And so if you don't keep your word, you would be dashing the hopes of the other person. You would be destroying something important to that person. I think that is probably the worst thing you can do to another. I really hate those kinds of people. So that's why I got pissed off at Kyoichi. Because I think he really wasn't serious about Sayama. And I think that really sucks, because Sayama was WAY TOO COOL.

"If you're not brave, then nothing can begin" -Sayama Shoko
This is, like, my most favorite quote of all time! I use it almost always to remind myself to be a lot braver and a lot stronger. ^o^

Anyhoo, Sayama - She's really something. I don't know how to describe her, but I can understand why a lot of people like and admire her. I was overwhelmed when she broke down and yelled, "Do you think one can be so strong so easily?! Do you think one can change so easily?!" You should really give her some appreciation. It's not easy to be different and to stand up for who you are. I think she should really be admired for her strength. And I think Kyoichi overlooked that. He was always saying "daijoubu" when in fact he doesn't even know. So I think Sayama (and also Chiharu) was right when she yelled at him and said, "Alright!? How can you say alright!? You don't know anything!" I think if you truly care for another, you would try to be a lot more sensitive to his/her needs and to do this, you should try to know him/her more. Because I think couples have no right to be couples if they don't really, sincerely care about the feelings of the other, ne? ^__^ So I think both Sayama and Kyoichi were indirectly using the other to fill the void in their hearts. Both were trying to run away from the pains of reality. And I think it was good that they realized this in the end and went their separate ways. Because I think it is only when you can overcome your fears alone that these problems truly go away. It is not the responsibility of another to erase them for you, although that can help. So once again, as I always tell my friends, "It takes someone to forget someone" is crap. I don't buy that.

Oh yah, I was talking about Sayama. Ehehe ^^;; (When I talk about my principles in life and my favorite anime, I tend to get carried away! LOL) Now where was I? Oh yah, I really like her. She lives up to her true self and stands up for who she is! I want to be like her. Although... I think I'm still so and so. ^^;;; There are still lots of things that freak me out, like what we did yesterday in class - practicing insertion of endotracheal tube and urinary catheter to a simulator model. I need to have a lot more confidence in myself. I need to believe more in what I can possibly do, of who I can possibly be. Demo ne, I realized when I was watching that episode that even strong girls like Sayama break down as well. Even strong girls fall in love sometimes. And even strong girls run away. After all, strong girls are still human. Hm... yah. I think I like what I just wrote. LOlz

Anyhoo, I would love to discuss more about Yumi x Makoto, or about Kyoichi x er, Yokota (WAAAA!! yaoi de-su! o__0), but it will really take lots and lots of TIME, which is something I don't have right now. Ehek. Actually, I shouldn't even be online now... ^^;; But anyhoo, P-chan and I used to talk about each of us having a "Boys Be" kind of love story someday. Hm.. Will we? o__0 LOlz! But if something like that does happen to me (although that would still be like, hundreds of light years away ^^;;), I'll be sure to let you know... //winks//
