30 Day Anime Challenge: Question 12

Okay.  Today's challenge was to find an ecchi picture of my favourite series (as previously mentioned in an earlier post, 'Vision of Escaflowne').

Yay for doujinshi!  ...I really want to read this now...

30 Day Anime Challenge: Question 9

"What do you think is the saddest anime scene you have watched?"

That's a tough one...I think the most depressing anime I've watched is the movie, 'Grave of Fireflies', but it was so depressing that I've only ever watched it once and don't ever plan to watch it again.  As such, I can't remember what the saddest actual scene was.

 Saddest movie EVER.

So, anime scenes that have made my cry buckets...

'Battle Angel Alita', when Yugo lets go of her hand and falls, smiling?

'Vision of Escaflowne', when Van sees Allen kiss Hitomi?  When Van sends her back to Earth?

The movie of 'Escaflowne', when the mystic moon (Earth) disappears from the sky?  

'Chrno Crusade', Rosette and Chrno's last moments?

The incredibly depressing, realistic ending of 'Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann'?

All of these are pretty high up on the list (and there are many more which I will probably kick myself for not mentioning), but I think it's a tie between Yugo and Rosette and Chrno's deaths.

 

Dammit, Yugo!!!!  I'm sure she could have saved you somehow!

And who thought this was a good way to end the series!  Okay, it could have been worse, but still...

30 Day Anime Challenge: Question 2

Oh no...It wants me to pick a favourite.

"What is your favourite anime that you have watched so far?"

I'm not good with favourites, dammit!!!  (I can't even settle on a favourite food...I can only settle on a favourite food from each catergory...eg, cherries are my favourite fruit, etc.)

My first thought was 'Vision of Escaflowne', so I'm going with that. (...but what about Gurren Lagann?  Oh, hell...stop thinking.  Stop thinking of more right now.)

Obviously, there are many series that I love, but Escaflowne has always held a special place in my heart.  It's the reason I started attending anime club, and now that I think about it, it's indirectly responsible for me marrying my husband...(if I hadn't gone to anime club, I probably wouldn't have met him.)

Essentially, I love this series because of the atmosphere it projects.  The music and animation just sing together, and create a whole new world.  The ending makes my cry buckets, but in a good way, and my only complaint is that Van never kisses Hitomi.
