    • More of comedy than an action series, although the 1st few episodes are good.
      If you're looking for some anime with serious hard-core action,
      i wouldn't recommend this series.

      I personally feel that therez too much fillers/ unnecessary episodes.
      Judging by the way the series ended, there may be a 2nd season.

    • could there be a mistake?

      Maybe it's:

      Shakugan No shana will resume its broadcasting on the 10th of January.

      Speaking of which.....

      DAMN!!

      From America, no tv serials to watch due to the writer's strike.
      From Japan, no anime to watch due to the Xmas and New Year Break.

      The following animes are affected as well, i think.....

      Bleach
      Kekkaishi
      Shion No Oh
      Ghost Hound
      Clannad

      and

      maybe some others ?![/b]

      Personal comments/feedback:

      Interesting way to kick start episode 1.
      BUT they juggle too much between the present and the past.
      Hence, episode one may be confusing for some people.
      As the story progresses,
      (oh wait, the storyline is stuck all the way at the time they're in the academy,
      which btw has no link to episode one, thatz what i feel), it gets lamer ?!
      Oh well, last few episodes left, letz see if it'll turn for the better.
      hmmm.... not much of adventuring to be frank......

    • I wouldn't say my method is the best or good way.
      But like what my chinese school teacher used to say:-

      Listen, speak, read and write.

      One bizarre (and insane) method i'm using:

      Step 1: Prepare a table with all the syllabus, Hiragana and katakana on separate paper.
      Step 2: Play a jap. game with audio speech and text display.
      Step 3: Activate your MS Words, with IME and jap language input system
      Step 4: Start typing!

      ps: the above method may proof to be time wasting and ineffective
      ( use it at your own risk.....Mr. Green ) .

    • Sad to say such things do happens at times in life.

      My take would be help her when (if) possible, since you're friend,
      But do not expect too much (or anything) in return.
      take it as a pinch of salt.....
