letters are the things that connect our HEARTS

****** WARNING ******
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR TEGAMI BACHI/ LETTER BEE
(if you have not read the manga till chap ter 43, then i highly recommend you to skip this entry)
i needed to blog about this.....XD

YEah....well, i'm very very extremely obsessed with Tegami Bachi / Letter Bee now.
It was almost the same obsession i have when i watched Saiyuki last time. It's not that Tegami Bachi has any bishies or whatever (okayy....admittedly, Gauche is much love...also Jiggy Pepper..XD)

But, it's the meaning of the show....i never knew letters have that much meanings to it...
Put a thought into it, should there be no Handphones, no computers, no sms, no webcams, no messanger and blogs...oh..and not forgetting Facebook..LOL...
What if all these is nonexistent?
how are we to contact our loved ones should be we miles apart from them?

YEs, the only things around are letters.
In Tegami Bachi's world, no such thing existed, that's why the Letter Bees are the carriers of hopes and news...

There's a strange attraction to this manga/anime/story that i can't put into words...
It reminds me of FullMetal Alchemist...but FullMetal Alchemist didn't make me cry as much as this series.
(well, maybe because Lag is a crybaby here..LOL)

But anyway, it's really really nice and i would definitely recommend this anime/manga to anyone who loved FullMetal Alchemist.

*** warning once again, spoilers begin here....well, some of it wouldn't make sense if you havent read till chapter 43 though....***

The 2nd opening theme really reflected what Lag's feelings on Gauche...(no! not yaoi mind you.....i like to look at them more like brotherly love)
It's really really really sad to see what has become of Gauche. The very first time i watched the first episode of this series, when i saw Gauche, i already loved him A LOT..(it's the same unexplainable feelings i have for Heine Westenfluss of Gundam Seed Destiny) And knowing that i loved him a lot and that he is not the main character of the series, i already know something really BAD would happen to him..
especially when he explained to Lag that should one fire too much shindan, that person will lose his heart and be an empty shell.....The moment he mentioned that to Lag, i already know that something similar would happen to him...

true enough....he lost his heart...and lost all memories of him being Gauche.......And you can feel how heartbroken Lag and Sylvette is....
Even though they got him back, he is still Noir. He is Noir with Gauche's memories in Gauche's body. Somehow, i feel unless the manga-ka reveals what happened to him, Gauche wouldn't return. Hiroyuki Asada is truly a genius at stirring up the reader's feeling. One moment, he will let you feel as if Gauche had returned, but at the same time, you'll feel that MAYBE THAT ISn'T GAUCHE after all.....
(well, that's what i felt when i read the manga the whole time they had Gauche back...)

I really hope that this series will have a happy ending...really, i don't give much of a damn for endings (happy or not, it's just another story)...but there are only a few series that i really really really hope to have good and happy endings.
I was really happy with FMA's ending.....Chrono Crusade was okay, but i loved the ending too.
Zettai Kareshi's was DAMN FREAKING SAD I TELL YOU......i had wanted Knight to live on, yuu watase had to kill him off....i cried like shiat..!!!

As for Tegami Bachi? my ideal ending for it would be that Gauche got back his memories and is back being Gauche again.....and that eventhough Sylvette is wheelchair bound, he had his brother, Gauche....Lag, Niche, Steak, Aria and a whole lotta people together. Lag having lost his mother could still have a family with the Suedes, and also Niche and Steak. Then, Gauche will retire being a Bee and help out at the Sinners weaponry/ bakery while Lag continues on to be a Letter Bee and continues his aim to be the Head Bee.
Yeah...that'd be a happy ending.....
(lol..you can't hope for too much rite? it'd be fake and illogical if Gauche becomes the Head Bee, that way he'll have to be apart from his family.....and if Gauche is the Head Bee, then Lag would have to surpass Gauche. That'd make Gauche and Lag become rivals...=_=|||)

but yeah...it's a rant, but something that has been in my mind since i started this series......

Listening to : Tegami Bachi - Love Letter no Kawari no kono Uta wo
Mood : touched...by the above song lyrics
