Hello everyone!! This is my first post in my journal. ^_^

Let's see, it's the beginning of vacation and I haven't done anything special. Lately I have been watching an anime series called Harukanaru Toki no Naka de ~Hachiyoushou~. whee

Unfortunately not many people know about it. Well it's similar to Fushigi Yuugi (one of my favorite anime and mangas) and some say it's also similar to The Twelve Kingdoms. Many people say all the hachiyou are hot that's why they like the anime while others just love it for the way it is. For some reason, I love this anime more than Fushigi Yuugi. I guess because Akane (the main charcter) is so much better and smarter than Miaka (the main character in FY). It just makes more sense on why everyone loves her. 3nodding

The basic plot is that a girl and her two friends are transported through a well (Inuyasha anyone?) to a new world. The girl (Akane) is the Ryuujin no Miko. She has to gather the 8 Hachiyou (or eight leaves) to save the world of Kyou. The four gods (Suzaku, Seiryuu, Byakko, and Genbu) have been captured by an oni named Akram. He and his followers are the last of the Oni clan. He wants to gain the power of the Ryuujin and destroy the people of kyou. So, Akane is trying to find the hachiyou and defeat Akram.

I've watched episodes 1-8 w/ english subtitles and another unfortunate thing is that the subbers are taking a while to sub episodes 9. sweatdrop So I downloaded some episodes w/ chinese subtitles. They help a lot. So now I've watched episodes 12-20 w/ chinese subtitles. blaugh I need to find someone with either raws or subtitles for episodes 9-11. xd

Well I gtg practice piano. I have lessons even though it's vacation week. >_<
