The sequel to the first season [blogged here]. Well, the story continues from season 1 and there’s even sort of a quick summary of the important events of season 1 in episode 1 of this series.

I’m not sure if being a shorter season has got anything to do with it, but this time the anime is less random and more focused in terms of storyline and giving individual characters more attention on the things they face in their lives. Perhaps it’s this that gives a feel that’s imo a bit different from its prequel.

Things get sort of sorted out, and in the end all of them have to part with each other physically, but will always remember the days they had together. Kinda sad, but I guess that’s life. Heh.

Oh, I noticed that Takemoto’s voice actor got changed in the last episode ‘cos he sounded quite different from the usual one. I wonder why there was a sudden change right at the end of the series. Feels really weird, as though it’s kind of a different character in the show. o.o

Both seasons of the anime have been nice, but for some reason, I prefer this sequel. Lol. Yeah looking at H&C as a whole, I think it’s definitely one anime series that deserves to be watched.

22

In case you’re wondering, this entry isn’t going to be about the sequel of 21 that’s I’ve blogged about. There isn’t even a sequel. =P Yeah well, today I turn 22, and I have no idea why I’m writing this entry in the wee hours [it's past 315am now].

22 isn’t exactly a very special age I suppose. Guess from now is just marking the passing of me growing older and older. Haha. Well this year will be going out with my jc buddies, altho Dom is gonna have union camp, while Mark is… I dunno where, probably working as an intern somewhere.

To all those who have already sent your birthday wishes, thank you! =D For those who haven’t and imo think that you ought to, you’ve got some 20.5 hours left. Hehe.

p.s. yeah there will be a “bonus” entry later tonight.
