    --> (post a character with 'tsu' or 'zu' somewhere in his/her name in the shoutbox!)

    How to Play: Join up the names! Taking the last syllable/sound of the previous name, suggest another name (of an anime/manga character or seiyuu) with that sound in any part of the name EXCEPT the last syllable. Please post the new name (and the anime/manga it's from) in my shoutbox. (Just above this.) No consecutive entries, please -- you cannot play this one alone. XD
    When I get tired of reviewing, I'll pick one character from this list to feature in a post, regardless of whether I previously know him/her or not! :) That page will eventually be linked on this list.
    E.g....Hirano Aya (Seiyuu)--> (next one should have 'ya' in the name, NOT in the end) Okuyama Masumi (Nodame Cantabile) --> Misato Kaoru (Moyashimon).......

Genji Monogatari Sennenki 1 - Forbidden Love

Published by jennkei under 2009 Winter, First Impressions, Genji Monogatari Sennenki, Seiyuu, anime, music stuffs Edit This

Ahem. Fans of Code Geass might be interested to note that Sakurai Takahiro (Suzaku) is playing the titular lead (Hikaru Genji) in this anime. Rest assured that this is certainly not Code Geass in the Heian Era. XD

The OP (Hiyori Hime by PUFFY) is strangely upbeat and modern for the historical theme. ._. However, the rest of the anime is how I’d imagined it — if the drawing is somewhat dated, it makes up for it with the calming music (which allows for a soothing pace) and splashes of colour. The ED sounds a LOT like Natsume Yuujinchou’s ending…and no wonder, both are by Kousuke Atari. (Ai and Natsu Yuzora respectively.)

Genji Monogatari Sennenki starts off with some nekkid male/female action, accompanied by the girl’s rather-confusing monologue. Genji’s response to this is that of a typical casanova…I had to restrain myself from pointing at him and saying, “Lies!” Gallery here, or read on for the slideshow+ ep summary. (more…)
