Anime Infatuation

I know it’s about bunnies, and it’s aimed at children, but my inner child can’t resist something that promises fluffy wuffy cuteness it really can’t. Anyway, if it’s aimed at children that means I can justify watching it RAW to practice my Japanese listening skills! Yay! *Looks frustrated as has to get Realplayer to play the files*. Happy Happy Clover Website.

Favourite screenshots: (mainly of the squirrel and not the bunnies!)

Don’t tell a bunny her ears look strange, this made me laugh out loud.

Hirari - is she a flying squirrel, sugar glider or something else?!

Sooooooo cute!

1. Eee a flying squirrel. Based on a bunny called Chima and her little adventures. Going to school and meeting a new friend. I possibly shouldn’t be enjoying this as much as I am and grinning like a loon. lalala. KAWAIIII. Poor Meru, lost at night time! Bunnies with flower lanterns, I know that if this was about humans I would be bored…but somehow the presence of cute makes everything seem fantastic. Why is that? 2. Lesson to kids…never open a friend’s wardrobe you never know what will happen! Beware owls bearing gifts?

3. It’s sad seeing a bunny surrounded by chopped down tree stumps. Is that a sugar glider not a flying squirrel? I hope so, I want one! 4. It’s not so much the bunnies but the other animals they meet in the forest which I find so cute. I am reassuring myself it’s the stress of the break up leading me to watch this..and not the fact that I like to fantasize I am still about, erm, 8 years old, innocent and happy! This is just tooooo cute, bunnies trying to defeat a giant wolf…just as well this isn’t a horror, *has funny mental images*.

It’s not right to want a sweet girl-girl love moment between bunnies is it? Moving swiftly on…

5. Scary monster scaring the bunnies. How cute! Aaw, bunnies aren’t allowed to drown! 6. I love the faces of the bunnies when they are stressed. Meru is the main reason for me to watch this, cute ears.

7. I must have a flying squirrel! I MUST have a sugar glider. I want to ride a leaf down a hill. 8. Laughing out loud at RAPPING PIGEONS…this is just too much! Where is their bling? Pigeon bling! HAHAHA. Ho-Ho sensei - also finding this name funny. I’m a hoho you’re a hoho. Mole mining, looks more like an underground rollercoaster. The rapping pigeons sound like Rip Slyme to me?! HAHAHA.
9. Postbunnies in cute postal uniforms, aaaw and a giant bunny post box! 10. I really want bunny postboxes and not red ones now. :) The rapping pigeons are never going to fail to amuse me *hey brother yo*. I’m never going to look at pigeons the same again…or are they crows?

11. Animals shouldn’t be given school tests. 12. A bunny has a whinnie the pooh moment stuck in a tree!

13. Bunnies in thorns haha. A little bored with postbunnies now. Aaw, poor bandaged bunny! 14. It’s not easy to scare a squirrel! They think Hirari has run away! The squirrel looks so cute…

15. More scary monsters in the woods. Moles have hair cuts?! 16. It’s like Postman Pat, but with bunnies! Wet bunny and wet squirrel = so cute.

17. Apple pie, it has magical healing properties? I need some I feel a bit under the weather. 18. Yay a story about the squirrel! I wish it was a series about lots of squirrels and not bunnies *grr*.

19. Violent bunnies *tut tut*. 20. Bunnies covered in snow. Angry moles! OK, enough is enough I’ve hit saturation point and gone beyond that…please…no more bunnies. *Back to the adult world it is*.

I don’t know how many more episodes of this there is but I won’t be watching anymore. It was fun to have on in the background for the adorable level, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone else unless they were a huge bunny fan or starting to learn Japanese! I do love it when the bunnies look shocked or confused though, so funny! There’s a lot better out there if you love cute, try Damekko Doubutsu, or Ebichu if you have a dirty sense of humour. :)

Note: I’ve stopped reading any yaoi, just not my thing, I only flick through to see if there’s any stunning artwork!

Letter Bee

I was impressed imediately by the fantasy artwork and poetic feel of a world where humans have entrusted their hearts. Aria link is rather cute! I felt caught up in their fantasy journey, found the racoon adorable and the armoured insects scary! Darwin is so cute waiting for a girl who will never return, brought tears to my eyes …9/10

Itoshii no maid-sama

(I have no idea what was wrong with this picture, there was a girl lying on top of another girl, there’s no nudity, shes just kissing the maid’s neck with one hand on her bra! Not exactly raunchy!)

Very cute short yuri one-shot about a girl who fancies a girl who works in a maid cafe. I’m not keen on the artwork of the smaller girl who fancies the maid. There’s no depth here, I think it rates higher than it should with me because of the girl-girl lust!…8/10

**Pick of the Week** Mysterious Girlfriend X

Firstly I love the art detail in some of this! The mystery about the girl is her hair covering her eyes and how she sleeps at her desk at breaktime…you HAVE to read this for the bit where he dips his finger on her drool on the table and tastes it. It’s just too bizarre and funny. Withdrawal symptoms from not getting enough female drool is so grosse it’s genius. I like a girl who keeps a pair of scissors in her pantsu! A thoroughly enjoyable, if a little crazy, read…10/10

Belated post, as adapter died on my laptop *sniffle* and i was plunged into ye olde stone age of reality.

Currently:

-mildy annoyed at joining forums to get a password for one chapter of manga that subsequently fails to download completely, and when I type in the password in for a second download it fails to accept it. Meh. 25 posts? The manga better be AMAZING.
- rather childishly finding the sound effect *SQUISH* in yaoi that leap straight into the sex scenes rather 1. unnecessary 2. grosse *squish squish squish* …eugh.
-reaching the conclusion that yaoi is really not my thing at all, and wishing yuri was as abundant :’(

Yamato no Hane

When it comes to sports anime/manga I’ll try anything once, I’ve seen racing, cricket, basketball, pachinko and mahjong ’sports’…but I’ll admit to being hesitant to try badminton manga. However, seeing as it’s one of the few sports I thoroughly enjoy I hoped for the best. It managed to capture the spirit and challenges of the game in a comical awe-inspiring fashion. Leaving me wondering just how do you keep a manga about badminton exciting? The answer seems to be hitting a shuttlecock into its container from 20m away! 8/10

Sketch

Fans of yuri manga will instantly recognise the gorgeous artwork of Akihito Yoshitomi (of Blue Drop fame). Desiring the object you stare at, this is touching, and quite erotic considering the repeated references to eating objects *blush*…10/10

Gokujou Danshi to Kurashi Temasu

If you’re a girl so in love with a male character in your manga and you’re in danger of becoming an otaku with no real bf ever, wouldn’t it be good if your rich mother rents out a room to a guy who looks just like your favourite manga character? I loved the humour in this, about her body just moving so she has to kiss the sexy guy because he looks like Shun-sama. I like what he does to try and win her over with the flowers…9/10

Plus Ultra (Artbook)

I didn’t realize this was an artbook, I find something deeply disturbing and confusing about the men who often look like very masculine women, that almost, but not quite, ok to find them sexy feeling. Worth a look though out of curiosity or if you loved manga like From Eroika With Love…6/10

Momogumi Plus Senki

If you attract disaster like me you’ll identify with a character who has Disaster Attraction Physique…can’t say I fall out of windows and get rescued by pretty women though! Love the artwork for this fantasy adventure. I love masks so that was a bonus for me! Will he be able to defeat all the reincarnated demons?…10/10

Hanna of the Z

Well I found this amusing from the onset for the use of the insult ‘cowtits’, that and a girl having her head lopped off harmlessly because she has self healing powers. “Save the cheerleader save the world” anyone? Nothing like a comical superpower manga to make my day :) …9/10
