Happy Halloween

按我老板的话说，万圣节就是"Oh! Shoot"加上a bunch of annoying teenagers的日子（汗）
不知道今天回去会不会遇上几个"trick or treat"呢～

星期六的时候，波士顿下了今年冬天的第一场雪，一下就下好大。。。偏偏我还必须得这个时候开高速 :( 在这里，最不喜欢的就是一年六个月的冬天了:(((

虽然手续、计划还没有完全办妥，不过今年回国的机票已经买了，12／11波士顿到香港，1月3日北京回波士顿，途经芝加哥和东京。在香港待个几天也
还没定，不过绝对在7天以内。照理说香港什么都有吧？不过还是问一下wakka和gcc，有什么想要我带过去的东西吗？另外有什么推荐观光的地点吗？

给日月巫女的情书--神无月播出一周年纪念

虽然说我一向恋旧，这也不足以解释我对神无月的巫女一年来的耿耿于怀。
我把这种执念归结于自己没有好好的宣泄自己的感想，所以现在嘛，我来写一点来自冥王星的东西。

以前我办最喜欢的百合片投票的时候，把神无月归入个人前3，我还挣扎了很久。平心而论，挑刺可以挑出大几十来处，商业化痕迹严重的这部12集动画，我骄傲不起来。
可是这部片子成功的地方就是人物的刻画，千歌音和姬子在这惨无人道的世界设定中（笑），人格魅力绽放出璀璨耀眼的光芒。
（还有大神这好小伙，按下不表）

我和99％的神无饭一样，大爱千歌音。不提她如何如何优秀了吧，那种为了爱人抛弃万贯家财、荣誉地位、身家性命的毅然固然万中选一，更震撼的是她连自己看得重于性命的姬子的笑容也舍弃的遗憾，不得不将姬子对自己的信任崇敬亲手毁灭的绝望，用自己最深的爱作为伤害自己最爱的人的武器的剧痛，和在那不被所有人、包括姬子理解的坚强面容下的委屈。喜欢千歌音。好喜欢千歌音。恨我也罢，忘了我也罢，哪怕这世界我从未存在过也罢，但愿你能幸福，在我看不见的地方，为了和我无关的人而微笑。。。而我会在月之神社，永远的思念着你。。。。。。

千歌音完美吗？不完美。她至少犯了3个错误。第一是违背自己的真心把姬子让给大神，把自己渐渐逼向绝路；第二是发现真相后丝毫不质疑命运的轨道，擅自决定了自己牺牲，而让姬子承受杀死心爱的人的痛苦；第三则是手段上来说，她一直选错了逼姬子恨她、反抗她的方式－－只到最后她才发现对她的直接攻击全都无效，只有攻击她所介意的朋友、世界才走对了路。当然这在战略方面的错误下不值一提。。。

需要为她辩解的就是，这些她都情有可原。第一件，姬子要负很大的责任，一副很喜欢大神的样子要千歌音怎么做？
不明白自己的心意是有罪的。（当然不表白自己心意的千歌音也很蔫。。。）第二件，千歌音的心里，姬子的笑容》世界》自己的生命，而不是自己的幸福和生命》世界，那么这样的选择也就是唯一的选择了，因为两人究竟没有不依靠神明就能让世界恢复原貌的力量。
第三件嘛。。。如果她不犯这个错误，开始就KO大神或是真琴，那么使无辜的人受害不说，更重要的是－－我们哪来推倒、BT告白可看啊？？XDDD

而姬子，同样是一个让我自愧不如的女孩。原谅别人的胸襟到了这种程度，绝对不是软弱而是坚强，如此的勇气，执着面对的精神让人敬佩。8话以后姬子的表现，说明她不止是一个完美的小受（笑），更是一个可以碶而不舍地追求自己的幸福，相信心爱的人，哪怕是日月的轨迹也能改变的英雄。
与千歌音站在同一高度，最适合千歌音的人。千载万世的绝配。

为了这两人亘古缠绵的爱浮一大白。

==============================

我其实真的不会写情书--倒像人物评论。。。OTL
所以想了一个月后我决定将我最喜欢的神无月同人小说翻译成英文。
一切为了在美国布教用XDDD

ps：Faith你自己校正吧，我继续爬格子，翻译剩下的5／6。。。

译注会稍后加上。

Chapter I

……There is an ancient shrine on the moon, quietly protecting the
common world for thousands of years……

She knew this story since she was very little. Two mikos were chosen
by Gods, born on those days when Gods were gone. They together took
the mission of protecting the common world. Dressed in sacred miko
suits, holding two-handed swords, the two young ladies were not only
beautiful and elegant, but also powerful and frightening.

Mikos of the sun, and the moon.

And she, was one of them. Born an orphan without parents, her
existence was destined not to be just a daughter; she was
pre-determined not being able to spend her life quietly and
peacefully.

Gods had their reasons for such an arrangement. She had believed so
all these times.

"……Hi Sama？"

A clear and pleasant voice softly interrupted her daily meditation.
However, it also made a slight smile showing up on her serious face.

Swiftly turning around, her small figure stayed kneeing down at the
wooden floor in a graceful and proper pose.

"Tsuki sama." As usual, she bowed down slightly in a respectful way,
and gave the person in front of her a polite yet cold greeting. Her
long hair was light –colored like tea leaves, almost shining golden,
bundled towards the back in a simple and fitting style, only some hair
by the ear flowing in front of her chest.

The girl that she called " Tsuki sama" was said to have come from an
ordinary family. When her parents learned that their only kid was the
miko chosen by Gods, they were moved to happy tears, kneeled down and
thanked Gods.

She heard that they were still spending the money that the emperor
granted, boasting that their daughter was the daughter of heavens, a
gift from Gods.

Really… foolish folks. She sighed in her heart. Why couldn't they
understand that being "normal" would be the most gracious gift that
Gods would give to a child?

As she was having such thoughts, Tsuki sama had opened the door
completely, so that the ray of the bright sunshine could enter their
dark room—the sacred forbidden place where they had been serving God
Ame no Murakumo.

She noticed that a strange look flashed through the bright and limpid
eyes of Tsuki sama as she looked at the stone statue of Ame no
Murakumo behind her (Hi sama's) back. That was a look of admiration
and trust, mixed with a nature of fear and obedience towards Gods.

A nature of mikos.

"I am very sorry…Did I interrupt your meditation?'' Tsuki sama turned
her head slightly and asked, with a few thick old books in her hands
that exuded a color of yellow.

She only gazed silently at the girl in front of her.

The strong sunlight naturally shined upon her long dark hair,
enhancing the softness and gloss of it. Tsuki sama had the same hair
style as that of herself, yet her front hair was more stylishly
disordered, slightly covering her thin, well-shaped and deep-colored
eyebrows.

Wearing a deep-purple miko suit all year long, with the black hair and
deep-colored eyebrows, a mature and indifferent mask of expression
occupying her beautiful and elegant face—Tsuki sama looked like a
person suitable to compete with and beat darkness itself.

At least this would be the first impression.

She smiled silently. She understood more than anyone else how
deceiving looks could be.

If people could distract themselves from Tsuki sama's refined face and
lock their sight on her deep-as-sea eyes, they would for sure find,
underneath her cold look, how gentle, how purely trusting her eyesight
was.

She was still a child. An inexperienced child who was looking at this
world with her big, pure and curious eyes.

"No, I just finished the meditation for today."

Tsuki sama looked obviously relaxed, then smiled shyly, and walked
over slowly and agilely. The way that Tsuki sama walked was not
exactly delicate, but straightforward like boys, yet more elegant and
dashing. Maybe it was because that she was taller than herself? She
wondered with curiosity.

"The priest suggested me to ask you about these books."

Crouching down, Tsuki sama's shy smile approached her face. She then
realized that Tsuki sama and she were having a distance way too
intimate, as she even saw her own reflections in the other girl's blue
eyes.

Moving backward without a trace, she maintained a polite smile on her
face. "Are you still studying hard on these ancient books, Tsuki
sama?"

"Yes. Because I has not been here since little, like Hi sama. I am not
very clear about many things regarding the rites, legends or
ceremonies…" As Tsuki sama was explaining, she put aside the books in
her hands and kneeled down straightly on the floor. "So the priest
said I could ask you what I don't understand…Can you teach me what's
in the books?"

Her expressions were so candid and upright, and her eyes were serious
and trusting. Who could possibly refuse them? She whispered in her
heart. "Certainly. Where do you not understand?"

As soon as she stopped the sentence, Tsuki sama responded with her
radiant smiling face.

Just as usual, she started to have an uncontrollable disorder of heart beat.

After this, no matter how hard she tried to meditate, to keep her mind
in a state free of random thoughts, these gentle eyes and sincere
smile could always invade her heart without warning, and waste every
effort she spent maintaining a calm mood.

This sudden hurricane of the moon had been tantalizing her rioting
soul to be freed from this mission.

Maybe this was why the second miko was needed. No matter how the sun
shined upon the land, it could never reach the darkness deep inside
itself. When the darkness devoured the sun at the end, at least there
would be tender moonlight generously shedding in the world. At least,
there would be a gentle and beautiful light warming up the world.

"……First we summon Ame no Murakumo, and then, we will fight
Orochis……right?" Tsuki sama asked, while concentrating on the
sentences in a book.

She straightened her suddenly-stiffed body. "Yes."

"And what next? I looked into quite a few books, none of them recorded
what mikos should do after defeating Orochis."

"…Do you really have the confidence to defeat Orochis?"

Tsuki sama switched her eyesight from the book to the face of the
young lady in the red miko suit in front of her.

Her piercing blue eyes looked deeply into the other brilliant pair.

"If I were alone, that might be a little difficult." Carefully
choosing the words, Tsuki sama spoke slowly, "Because…there are eight
Orochis, right? One versus eight, it would be difficult, no matter how
you think about it."

She couldn't help chuckling at her naïve reply.

"It is true." Somewhat unsatisfied that her serious reply was laughed
at, Tsuki sama continued her explanation. " If one can be invincible
as long as she is by God's side, why do you need two mikos? One person
can accomplish nothing……to protect people, or to live a life. We
can't— "

"I can live by myself." Interrupting Tsuki sama's words, her
indifferent tone contained disagreement.

Tsuki sama's young and profound face looked disappointed and hurt. "Hi
sama…you don't want to be with me?" Her clear and melodious voice
failed to cover the sudden sobs from her throat and became sore and
weak.

This unreserved sincerity smashed her heart into pieces, which she had
been defending so hard. "It is my fate to be with you." She bit her
teeth so badly that her chin was tense and aching. " Such arrangements
must have their reasons……I never doubt it, nor do I run away from it.
"

"Even if you are not at all willing to……right?"

The silence froze the air, and their heartbeat replaced the time flow.
A certain flame was slowly rising, and bloomed into a beautiful, neon
brilliance, just like the water droplets under the sun.

"……Yes."

学日语点滴

有没有人记得我夏天的时候曾经报名去上日语课？虽然说只上了两节课就因为受不了只有罗马音的教学而退出了，有几件有意思的事儿一直想拿来说一说的，一不小心都秋天了OTL

我去的那地方叫做Boston Language Institute（波士顿语言研究中心），不只教日语，还有其他各国语言。授业方式是7、8人一组的小课堂教学，环境很好，旁边就是波士顿大学。课开在每周四晚6：15－9：15，日语入门初级。

第一天上学（啊，好怀念的字眼），我早到了15分钟左右。一进门，两个金发美眉已经到了，看起来是相熟的好朋友。下面是我和她们的对话。

金发A、B："Are you the teacher of this class?"
忘："No，I am also a student."

3人拿出课本。
金发A："So what is Hiragana? Does Japanese character each mean something?"
忘："...(explaining)..."
金发A,B (崇拜状)："I see."

几秒钟后。。。
金发A："Are you Japanese?"
某忘一愣，随即和金发B一起大笑起来。这边金发A已经红了脸。。。

我要是Japanese的话还来学Japanese beginner level1做什么啊！！！

说起来我被误认国籍的事还真不是第一次，属这回最爆笑就是。让人哭笑不得的就是，在美国，如果你长得像亚洲人，而且不是很老土的话，那么别人就会猜："Are you Japanese?" 不是的话 "Are you Taiwanese？" "Hong Kong?" "Korea?" 也许他们认为这样是尊重你的，但是我非常地不舒服，这种把mainland China排到最后的方式。我也不能把"You don't look like typical Chinese"当作一种赞扬。  扯远了些，那么接着说当天课上的事。

老师名叫"Noriko"，我立即反应到佛像爱好者。迟疑了一小会还是举手问了老师汉字的写法，原来是"典子"，果然还是这个更常见的名字。典子老师来自大阪，是Tiger饭，个子大概154左右？脸孔是典型的日本人。 听现实中人的说话真的和动画差好远（远目）老师带点口音，不过不像我听过的任何一种关西腔（汗）老实说放弃她的课我还是有一点儿可惜的。。。很少有这种鼓起勇气不怕死这样和人说话的时候了（笑）

老美们有时候满可爱的。老师讲'さん'的用法时，举例"お父さん"，"お母さん"，就有人问道，在家可以叫父母亲"お父"、"お母"吗？？ 我脑中立刻浮现如果是我喜欢的声优，这样的叫着お父"、"お母"的声音。。。。。。

结果是以下的10分钟内我竭尽全力憋住自己想要狂笑的冲动，憋得我脸红脖子粗，就要透不过气来。

 

两周以后我跟典子老师打了个招呼说对不起，计划有变不能再上她的课了。过了一周她发电邮给我好像不太明白状况，我便写了我有生以来第一封日文信回复给她。内容如下：

"典子先生

こんにちは。私は学生のXXと申します。メールをありがとうございました。返事が遅くなって、申し訳ありません。わたしは計画を変更して、授業を受けることができませんでした。しかし、日本語の勉強はつづきます，頑張ります。いろいろ感謝しましだ。

敬具
XX"

啊，现在重看这些居然有读不出来的地方了OTL 我的日语退步了啊55555～

 

to be continued?

10月新番1话印象

明明是重要的新番周，竟然超级忙碌，整个周末只看了舞乙和地狱少女的第一话（翻桌）

本来有很多话说的，看了小黑的图文并茂的1话评论，又到gcc那里看到了另外几部的评论。。。所谓“崔颢题诗在上头”就是这种感觉吧。

那么，简单的说一下自己的感想。

 

舞乙：

这世界观，这人设，让我一直想到神秘的世界艾尔哈沙德啊！人形战机静留在天上飞来飞去的样子让我想起的不是高达（当然，仔细想想确实很像高达OTL)，而是El hazard OVA中的Ifurita，而真白就是Fadora和Alielle的混合体，而这种异世界的风情也很像。 说这些倒不是说我不喜欢，恰恰相反，我非常喜欢这类主题，发挥的余地很大<---随编剧怎么瞎掰都成

剧情和整体感觉方面，延续了前剧的水准。开始的时候也在油轮上，很快有戏剧性的3主角相会，大场面的精彩战斗，同样以到达梦想中的学园为结束。啊，连下集预告也抄前作的段子也太。。。= =||| 战斗方面嘛，比起这回帅透了的静留秒杀某巨无霸场面，我还是喜欢前作里的油轮格斗（啥）----战斗要势均力敌才好看嘛 我有充分的理由相信，这部片子也会是轻松爆笑+中间转郁+大团圆结局，而且是质量〉=前作的一部必看作品。

人物方面，--我意外的人人都喜欢啊！Arika很可爱自不必说，我一直都喜欢这类特精神的小孩（啥）她的配音OK啦。真白看起来怎么这么顽劣（汗）我还要再看几集观察一阵。Yukana的配音赞一个，绝对联想不到以前的病弱真白，而且说文绉绉的话时骨子里的那种飞扬跳脱的劲儿，非常的适合人物性格。另外夏树二代小清水配得相当到位，起初我想了很久这人的声音是谁来着。。。跟天满真太不一样了。 进藤的声音和前作完全一样，不出我的意料。反正以前静留的迷们都是拜倒在她的京都腔之下的。 倒是千叶配的夏树的声音更低沉和男前了OTL你们俩现在到底谁攻谁受啊

9576戏份不少，足见百合众力量无穷。茜的戏份增多了我也很高兴，想来岩男小姐有机会再和众人合作，她也一定很高兴吧（某忘一直介意着她在1季结束的时候，说会很寂寞的话。。。）其他期待的还包括舞衣的超酷英雄式出场，命的变身，Arika的母亲的再次现身（我很喜欢她呢），还有说不定的真白的变身（！）〈---个人想象而已啦

现在努力的保持对Otome慢热，以免以后半年等得太辛苦（汗）

 

地狱少女：

嗯，本来想10月要追的太多了，这部没肯定追不追的（Trinity Blood我都还没看完）。结果看见川上、植田的名字啦！我2话不说就下了来看。植田的话，第一句话就认出来啦。最近觉得植田的声音很容易认。。。她的演技也是越来越好了。明明知道川上姐姐在这一集里面的，结果一集过了1半，本回boss说了二三十？句话的时候才听出蛛丝马迹来____________OTL 川上姐姐，我对你的敬仰之情有如滔滔江水、连绵不绝啊（笑） 话说我以前一直觉得川上姐姐缺乏御姐角色，这回的声线算是让我一偿夙愿。可惜一集就没了啊。。。

决定追了，为了超豪华龙套阵容和东京巴比伦式故事（美其名曰：反映社会现实。。。）对了，画面音乐都不错哦。

 

 其他的看了再补。。。

 

===========第2部分分隔线==============

Angel Heart:

虽然事先已经知道了，还是为严重走形的人物们

剧情方面，因为看过漫画，毫无新鲜感。只能说一话制作终于原著，好戏正要开始。Glass Heart没说中文，川澄客串冰淇淋少女，阿良整一中年大叔。。。

这一部据说会做52话，还很有可能是原创结尾。不是太期待，不过for the old time sake, 会追。

 

Black Cat:

原来并不打算追这一部的，不过第一话很有趣，ending很搞笑。观望个几集再说。

顺便问一下，丰口姐姐在里面配的是谁? 我不能肯定OTL

 

银盘万花镜:

这名字、题材，无论如何都让人想起百变之星来。可是作画方面至差2个数量级。。。看到一半的时候。。。这真的是励志作品吗？不是搞笑作品吗？以头撞箱想要把男一号赶出体外的那一段笑死我了（打滚中）

毒舌的女主角让我吃惊地觉得和川澄很合Orz
作为川澄的迷来看这部片子是一件非常有趣的事，因为女主角的台词占所有的台词的一半，而且还时常抓狂、冷嘲热讽（这时候我会想到神无月声优comment
OTL），有机会好好领略川澄全方位的演技。这回川澄的声线很好认，比莓乱扔里的茉莉容易多了《－－－说白了我就是认不出loli声＝ ＝bbb


灼眼的夏娜:

对原作毫无知识的我看得一头雾水，而第2集又狂郁闷：（
当然夏娜是很酷酷的小loli啦，男主角是普通、優しい人，我还算喜欢就是。
嘛，看看再说吧，想追的好片子太多了OTL


魔法少女奈叶A's:

好险没有错过这部大作！虽然有人说这像高达（汗，这么想的人一定是高达fan），我可是不觉得。不要什么都扯到高达去好不好！＝ ＝＋＋
op、ed都好听极了，Nanoha和Fate的那个暧昧啊～～～满满的百合香XD
话说这两小loli才9岁＝ ＝bbb看彼此的照片脸红个什么劲啊？？
其他方面，制作精良，声优强盛，无可挑剔的魔法热血百合动。
顺便一提，第2话里的战斗竟然出现无视主角power，导致奈叶军团完败的合理战略结果，我承认自己开始是小看这部动画了。
自2话后这部动画成为我10月第2期待作品。（第1是舞乙）



Aria:

看完前两话的感想是，比预想的好10％－20％。加分的地方是新威尼斯的风景和舒适恬静的风格，但也由于同样的缘故让我觉得节奏有点慢。不愧是百变的班底，作画质量、导演、故事发展等等都让人相当满意。主角和蓝华的相声很搞笑，超同意蓝华的那句"恥ずかしい台詞は禁止！"（禁止说让人害羞的台词！）我也是听到肉麻的台词会脸红的人呢（笑）
期待下一集相声3人组齐聚！还有雅典娜女王何时会登场啊。。。
对了，有淡淡的百合香哦XD 和百变差不多淡这样

这一季好看的新番是不是太多了点

包裹收到！

多谢gcc君！

以下是感想：


神无月TV资料集：

看得我直流口水（擦擦）看原画真的很有意思，一根根的线条仿佛会动似的
大好きな千歌音ちゃんはこんなに描きましだ。
好多第8话的推倒细节。。。

海报大好啊！！！
...千歌音原来左手没有拿贝壳啊


光与影的夜想曲（聖栞同人）：

1、2、6章以聖的角度，3、4、5章以栞的角度重诉白花篇的故事。画风的话。。。侧面最好，正面的话眼睛有点太细了。让人惊奇的是这本同人好几处地方竟然和我构想中的白花篇－栞角度不谋而合。比如蓉子应该有去找过栞，又如栞在教堂与圣决裂后的心理活动、在车站见到聖之后的心理活动、和碰巧遇到的蓉子的对话等等，都有在这本同人中补完。有一点我不同意的，就是我不相信栞一直有着"我要拯救聖"的想法，她应该不是这么自以为是的人。
第4章结束时的一页大图感动到我了。教堂决裂之后，矛盾痛苦的栞转向圣母像，眼泪终于决堤而出："マリア様。。。"　"わたしは聖を愛している" 

第6章是聖在某夜的想像：栞回到自己身边、一切从头开始，这一回聖笑着授予栞念珠，两人单手相牵，一起奔向远方。。。
没有一句台词，一切如梦一般的美好。
我不知道。虽然这种结局很欢乐，可是两人当时的性格、心境。。。只能说，悲剧在见面的那一刻，早已注定。这样的白花篇，我深深地为之着迷。
不过看完这本同人，我的怨念减轻了不少。（也就是说自己写的可能性大大降低了。）
改天有扫描仪了把这本扫上来吧。



静夏同人本：

最有趣的是这一张


莓乱扔的宣传品：

访谈里生天目竟然说"伸惠は女の子好きなところが私に似てて、。。。"（伸惠喜欢女孩子这点和我相像）OTL
唯恐天下人不知道你的兴趣吗＝ ＝bb
I服了Ｕ，生天目
另：原来电击大王的赠品手办继猫咪茉莉、木箱千佳、色诱安娜之后是健康美羽，呵呵
这么多的周边－24页（大汗）制作单位还真是会赚哪
那美羽扣针上面说的是什么OTL
还有那把扇子真是。。。かわいい~~~~~


Killer Queen：

很好看！！！
封面的聖实在是帅到爆。里面的每一张聖也都好漂亮，可爱的时候又好可爱，能够充分感到林家志弦对聖的爱。不过所有的人都在狂喷鼻血（汗）聖这个始作俑者倒是一副无辜样
^_^ 啊啊，这本真是让人爱不释手

 

还有什么以后想起来再补充~

追记一：动新第一期，川澄绫子介绍

能一下子听到这么多不同的川澄的声音，我好幸福

谢谢动新制作！！！

 

追记二：沙罗要的东西，聖栞fans请进。

不提借、装scanner连扫描的时间〉3小时了吧，要折书真是让我大

扫的时候没注意，好像图都有点太大了。

希望大家喜欢。
