更には人々の思惑を利用して、事態を掌握しようとする者まで現れて……
数多くの感情が激しく入り混じる展開には、見ている人の目を釘付けにする魅力が有ります。私は手に汗を握りながら、一喜一憂しつつ視聴していました(´v｀)=３心の中で、「おー」とか「あー」とかの感嘆詞を連発してしまったことを覚えています(；＾_＾)

ファーストシーズンを経て、セカンドシーズンではソレスタルビーイングの根幹に関わる物語へと発展していきます。

Also, some who try to understand the situation by taking advantage of people's intentions appear as well...
The turns and twists of the plot, mixing intense emotions of many people, have the potential to keep the viewers' attention for long. As for myself, I've been watching it with fists clenched, fluxuating between joy and sorrow. I remember making those "ah!" and "oh!" sounds within my mind a lot.

After the first season, the second one turns into a story of Celestial Beings roots.

どちらのシーズンも重厚で面白いのですが、個人的にお勧めしたいのはファーストシーズンのクライマックス！！
ソレスタルビーイングが決戦とも呼べる戦いへと挑んでいくのですが、交錯する人間模様、美麗なアニメーションによる興奮には本当に身体が熱くなったように感じてしまうかと。そして、待ち受ける衝撃の展開について言えば……落涙が避けられませんでした｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡

Both seasons are deep and fun, but personally, I recommend watching the first season's climax!
It ends with Celestial Beings' decisive battle, but the excitement caused by intersecting personalities and beautiful animation makes your body temperature rise. Also, the shocking twist that waits at the end... I couldn't stop myself from crying.

一押しキャラクターは、やはり主人公の刹那ですね。彼は元反政府ゲリラの少年兵で、戦場でガンダムと出会い、その存在に強烈に惹きつけられます。その後、ガンダムを戦争根絶という概念の具現体のように捉え、自分もガンダムのようになることを目指していくのですが(* ｀・ロ・´)
物語の中で色々な経験をし、そんな彼も少しずつ変わっていったように感じられました。ひたすら「ガンダム」になることを求めていた刹那が、徐々に自分の感情や人間味を手にしていく。

My favorite character would be, as expected, the main character, Setsuna. He's a former anti-government guerilla child soldier, he saw a Gundam for the first time on the battlefield and experienced a strong fascination with it. After that, he took up the idea of Gundam as a tool of war eradication and decided to become like Gundam itself.
He has all kinds of experiences during the story and it feels like he changes a lot as a person. Setsuna, wanting to become Gundam, slowly gets in contact with his feelings and humanity.

その変化は彼の印象的な台詞からも感じ取れたかと。まるで彼の成長を、生き様を追体験しているかのような興奮は格別でした！！
ちなみに非常に目を引く彼の名前は、「ガンダム」を渇望して孤高の存在となっていく刹那のヒーロー性を表現したものだそうです。
そんな刹那の戦いを見届けたいという人は、「ガンダムOO」をチェックしてみてください(｀・o・´)=３

This change can be felt from his memorable lines. The excitement that can be experienced by seeing his growth and way of life was exceptional.
By the way, his eyecatching name is supposed to express the heroism of Setsuna, being person becoming gradually isolated in his admiration for Gundam.
All the people who want to see Setsuna's long fight, please go check Gundam00.

境界の彼方は、妖夢と呼ばれる人間を脅かす異形のモノを狩る「異界士」たちの物語です。
主人公の神原秋人は飄々としていてどこにでもいる普通の高校生に見えますが、妖夢の血を半分受け継いだ「半妖」といわれる不死身の存在です。ヒロイン栗山未来は眼鏡がよく似合う高校1年生ですが、自分の血を刃に変えて相手を断つ能力を持つ異界士でもあります。「虚ろな影」と呼ばれる妖夢を倒すため、その練習台として（！？）秋人を襲います。

Kyoukai no Kanata is a story about "Spirit World Warriors" hunting "Youmu", creatures threatening humans.
The main character, Kanbara Akito, might look like a plain high schooler, but he's a "Han'you", meaning that half of his blood was inherited from a Youmu, an immortal being. The heroine, Kuriyama Mirai is a first-year high school girl who looks good in glasses, but she's also a Spirit World Warrior, able to turn her blood into a blade to fight. To defeat a Youmu called "The Empty Shadow", she attacks Akito, using him as a "training specimen".

が、いつもドジり軽くあしらわれてしまいます。さらに眼鏡っ子が好きな秋人からは逆にいろいろ世話を焼かれます。
宿敵から施しを受けるのをよしとはしない…のが普通なのでしょうが、極貧生活で衣食住ままならない未来はたびたび秋人から食事を奢ってもらいます。
二人がそれぞれに抱えた「宿命」や「試練」など、シリアスな部分も多々でてきますが、いい意味で堅苦しくない展開が続きます。比較的安心して見ることができる作品です。

However, being clumsy, she's not treated seriously. Also, Akito, liking girls in glasses, ends up helping her a lot instead.
She doesn't like accepting help from an enemy... obviously, but Mirai, living a poor life, having only the necessities, she gradually starts being fed by Akito.
The two have their own "fates" and "trials", so the story does get serious a lot as well, but the plot develops in an informally, in a good way. Comparatively, it's a story that can be enjoyed at peace.

そして何かあるたびに決めぜりふ「不愉快です…」をつぶやく未来が、非常にかわいいです。攻撃をミスって慌てふためくところとか、やっているブログが絶えず炎上しまくりでへこんでいるところとか。よしよし、としたくなります。眼鏡っ子好きやドジっ子好きにはたまらないキャラでしょう。
ちなみにこの作品の製作が「京都アニメーション」。そう、学園祭のバンド回とエンディングのダンスが話題となった「涼宮ハルヒ」シリーズを作ったところです。今回も第６話で歌＋ダンスが披露されます。そこも要チェックです。

Also, each time something happens, Mirai saying her catchphrase "This is unpleasant..." is very cute. When she misses her target in battle and panics, or when her blog is constantly "on fire" and she's sad, for example. You just want to console her.
It's a character that enthusiasts of glasses girls or clumsy girls won't have enough of.
By the way, this work was made by "Kyoto Animation". Yes, the people who became the topic of conversation after making the school festival band episode and the ED dance in Suzumiya Haruhi series. This time as well, episode 6 has a song + dance. Do check it out.

モデルは岐阜県立加茂農林高校です。
この作品は、実在する高校や鉄道がモデルになっているので、聖地巡礼もやりやすいと思います。
美濃加茂市の市長も本作のファンで、アニメ化決定の際にはコメントまで寄せていましたからね。
生産科学科2年生の畑耕作は、家が農家でアイドルヲタク。寮の自室には、大好きな「ゆかたん」こと
草壁ゆかのグッツを大量に持ち込み、時折ゆかたんへ自分が作った野菜を送ったりしながら、平凡な日々を過ごしていました。
そんな時にとびこんできたニュースは草壁ゆか、電撃引退！

It was modeled after Prefectural Kamo Agriculture and Forestry High School in Gifu Prefecture.
In this work, actually existing school and railways were used as a model, so "pilgrimages to the holy land" can be organized there.
The mayor of Minokamo City is a fan of the original work, when the anime project was decided on, he posted a comment on it.
Hata Kousaku, a 2nd year student at the Production Science Department is an idol nerd from a family of farmers. In his dorm room, he keeps character goods of "Yukatan", Kusakabe Yuka in high amounts and even send Yukatan some self-grown vegetables, while leading a peaceful life.
Until news reach him, that Kusakabe Yuka suddenly decided to retire.

ショックのあまり、寮の自室に引きこもった耕作でしたが、友人の中沢農や過真鳥継の説得等に応じて、何とか学校生活へ戻ります。
そこへやって来た季節外れの転校生、それは、引退したはずの草壁ゆか、こと木下林檎だった……。

真面目にあらすじを書いてしまいましたが、「のうりん」の半分（それ以上？）はパロディで出来ています。
ゆかたんの「宇宙一かわいいよ！」は、言うまでもなく中の人（田村ゆかりさん）……アニメ1話冒頭のライブシーンは
すごかったですね。

Due to the shock, Kousaku barricades himself in his room, but his friends, Nakazawa Minori and Kamatori Kei somehow persuade him to return to school life.
Then, a new students arrive in class, who turns out to be Kusakabe Yuka, now called Kinoshita Ringo...

I tried seriously to write down a plot synopsis, but half (more?) of Nourin is made of parody.
Yukatan's "You're the cutest in the world" is obviously associated with "person inside", the voice actress Tamura Yukari... The concert scene in anime episode 1 was great, wasn't it?

原作でも、1ページにセリフ一言が特大フォントで表記されていたり（ワールドカップ！）、イラストとセリフが
コミックのように一体になっていたり（ば～～～～～～っかじゃないの？）、等など、ライトノベルでも異色。
好き嫌いがわかれてしまうかもしれませんが、私は好きです。内容が面白くて破綻していないから、
こういうお遊びも許されているのだと思います。

Even in the original novel, on the first page, some lines are printed in a bigger font (World Cup!), the illustrations and text are mixed to form something like a comic (Are you stuuuuupid?), it's eccentric even for a light novel.
It's a story you'll either love or hate, but I like it. The contents are fun, while being a hardly working trainwreck, I think writing like this is acceptable just as well.

好きなキャラは、今のところ中沢農ですね。ベッキーは存在が卑怯なので殿堂入りです。若旦那は人外なので外しました。
耕作のせいで振り回される幼なじみ系ヒロイン。花澤香菜さんの声で方言をしゃべる巨乳美女ですよ！
割と服を脱いでいる印象もあります。いいぞもっとやれ。
耕作がどちらのヒロインを選ぶのか気になりますが……いざとなったらもう一度「お前たちが僕の翼だ！」って言えばいいよ！

My favorite character is Nakazawa Minori, as of now. Becky's entire being is mean, so I guess she deserves a place in Hall of Fame as well. Wakadanna isn't even a human, so she doesn't count.
The childhood friend character, being pulled around by Kousaku. Voiced by Hanazawa Kana, she's the dialect-speaking busty beauty.
I have the impression that she appears without clothes rather often. Good. Gimme more.
I can't wait to see which heroine will Kousaku choose... In the end he could always say "You're all like wings to me!"

この曲をつくっているときは、ちょうと試練の時期と重なっていました。

そんな辛い時期を乗り越えて、
こんなにも前向きで、明るい曲をつくったという事実。
バンドの「努力」と「進もうとする意志」の強さに、泣きそうになってしまいます。

私のMP3プレイヤーに、今現在も、ずーっと入りっぱなしの曲でもあります♪
まさに、ヘビー・ローテーションですね♪

「つり球」は、アニメ、OPの曲ともに最高なので、

ぜひ、見てみてほしい傑作中の傑作アニメです！！！

While making this song, I've been going through some harsh times.

Having gone through that crisis,
I was able to make this bright, positive tune.
The band's effort and the will to go forward made me want to cry.

It's a song that I keep in my mp3 player, even now.
It really is in heavy rotation.

Tsuritama, both the anime and the OP song are both awesome, so
it's a masterpiece among masterpieces, that I recommend you to watch.

漫画もアニメも絶好調(>ω<)♪
今、最も熱い野球漫画と言えばダイヤのA！！

ド田舎の弱小校のいた熱血男・沢村栄純がスカウトされて入ったのは何と名門・青道高校！
エースになるために日々奮闘するも現実はそんなに甘くない(-＿-)
同年代の降谷、2年川上、3年丹波、エースの壁は厚く高かった！
1軍になってもエースには程遠く、試合をすれば己の弱さとライバルの強さを実感。
切磋琢磨しながら、それぞれが課題を乗り越えていく姿は必見です(｀∀´)b

Both the manga and the anime are in top form.
The hottest baseball comic of the now: Ace of Diamond.

One hotblooded guy from a small school in the province, Sawamura Eijun gets scouted into the famed Aomichi High School.
To become the ace, he struggles everyday, but reality is harsh.
His peer - Furuya, second year's Kawakami and third year's Tanba are the high wall on his road to become the ace.
Even if he's a first rate player, he's still far away from the aces, he learns of his weakness and his rivals' power on the pitch.
Their forms as they train hard, toppling their own limits, are a must-see.

漫画から試合で感じる選手達の緊張感・プレッシャーが此方にまで届き、試合の回はドキドキとワクワクが止まりません><！
特に稲城実業との決勝戦、マウンドでのプレッシャーはすごいもので、見るだけで心臓がバクバクしてきます！
残りアウト一つで甲子園という場面では暗く焦り出した瞬間、監督の一言で全員が気持ちを切り替える瞬間は私もハッ(゜Д゜)としました！
読者を引き込ませるのが本当に上手です！

The stress and pressure the players feel while on the pitch is conveyed by the comic, in chapters where games are played, I can't help but tremble with excitement.
Especially the decisive battle with Inagi Industry, the pressure on the mound is amazing, my heart races from just looking at it.
In a situation when there's one out left during the Koushien and stress becomes unbearable, the coach says just one thing to mend the attitudes of all players, even I made a "Ha-!" sound!
This author really knows how to suck the reader into his story.

バランスのとれた絵柄で描写も上手なので余計にハマり、試合状況なども分かりやすいのだと思います！
クスっとくる笑いから思わず声が出そうになる笑いがあるのも楽しいです＾＾

又、かっこいいライバルキャラが多いのも魅力の一つ(*´ω｀*)
薬師高校の怪物スラッガーで子供らしさが残る純粋野球少年・轟と、エースで男らしい激アツ男の真田！稲城実業の成宮は我儘で自由奔放な俺様エース！
「こんな仲間いたら大変だろうな」「自分がピッチャーならこのキャラのタイプだな」なんて見るのも面白いです♪

The aesthetic of the comic is balanced and the portrayal of events is done well, so the reader gets addicted to the story even more, the state of the game is easy to understand as well.
The fact that sometimes, I even laugh unintentionally while reading is funny in itself.

Also, the variety of cool rival characters is one of the story's charm points.
Yakushi High School's beast, Slugger or the childish, pure baseball boy, Todoroki or the hotblooded, manly ace, Sanada... Inagi Industry's Narimiya is the selfish, wild ace.
"It'll be hard with teammates like these", "If I was a pitcher, I'd be like him" - even looking at it is fun.

野球を知らない人でも夢中になる。
野球をやっていた人も共感出来る。
キャラクターの成長から勇気をもらう事がある。
ダイヤのAは皆が楽しめる最高に熱い野球漫画です(>∀<)！

Even people not knowing about baseball can fall in love with it.
People who have played baseball will be able to respond to it.
The characters' growth gives the reader courage.
Ace of Diamond is a hot baseball comic that anyone can enjoy.

実は剣心、幕末最強”伝説の人斬り抜刀斎”と呼ばれ、
恐れられるほどの人斬りでした。(((ﾟДﾟ)))
その剣心が、「もう二度と、人は斬らない」と不殺を誓い、
様々な人物と出会い、過去に向き合い、
明治という新たな時代生きて行くお話です。

連載前は少年ジャンプで歴史物は受け入れられない、
ましてや難しい明治時代。
しかも初期の絵柄はジャンプの少女漫画と称されるほど
結構異彩を放っていて、色々危惧されていたみたいですが、
結果、大人気です(*≧∀≦)

Actually, Kenshin is the strongest swordfighter of the late Edo era, "the legendary assassin Battousai",
a fearsome assassin.
Kenshin vows not to kill people anymore,
then meets various people, has to face his past and
start living in the new, strange Meiji era.

Before Kenshin was serialized, Shounen Jump was not accepting any historical tales,
to say nothing of the difficult history of the Meiji era.
Also, at first, the comic's aesthetics caused it to be called "Jump's first girl's comic",
it stood out quite a lot among other comic titles, causing people to worry, but
in the end, it achieved huge popularity.

人気の一つに奥義や技のかっこよさがあると思います。
小学生の頃、クラスの男子は大体、技の真似をしていました。

主に箒で。（年齢がバレてしまうっ！！）
人気だったのはやはり牙突ですね♪
ぜひ、漫画＆アニメで見てください。

あと、実際の歴史の事件と史実の人物が登場し、
剣心たちと絡んで物語に華を添えるのですが、
筆者はここを大変気に入っています(｡･ω･｡)♪

One of the reasons for its popularity is how cool the swordfighting techniques were.
In my elementary school times, most boys in my class were imitating them.

With a broom, mainly. (My age shows, doesn't it)
Of course, the most popular one was Gatotsu...
I recommend checking out both the comic and the anime.

Also, true historical events and historical figures appeared in the story,
enriching the story together with Kenshin and his gang,
the author says he likes this aspect the most.

明治という時代が身近に感じられ、
また剣心という人物が実際に明治を生きたような不思議な感覚。
なんだかロマンがありませんか？
おかげさまで、明治時代のテストの点数はとても良かったですｗ

男女魅力あふれる登場人物が多いるろうに剣心。
一押しのキャラは…うーん、悩む。皆好き！！
剣心組はもちろん、敵も味方も魅力的で選べない〜！！
ここは奇をてらってちょっとマニアックに。
聖と輝を押します！！｡ﾟ+.(･∀･)ﾟ+.ﾟ

The Meiji era felt like something familiar,
making a strange impression that Kenshin might have actually been a real person, who lived in the Meiji times.
It has some romanticism to it, doesn't it?
Thankfully, I had good marks at tests on Meiji era.

Rurouni Kenshin had characters full of appeal both for girls and boys.
My favorite character... Can't decide. I like them all.
Kenshin's crew, enemies and allies, they're so attractive, I can't decide.
I'll be huge nerd and choose
Hijiri and Akira.

聖十字大陸エンテ・イスラと呼ばれる異世界の地で、魔王サタン率いる悪魔の軍勢と、人間の戦いが続いていました。当初優勢で、人間の敗北は時間の問題と思われましたが、勇者エミリアの出現により形勢は逆転し、最終決戦において魔王は負傷。力を取り戻し再びエンテ・イスラの地を奪うとの雄叫びを残し、時空のゲートをくぐり異世界へ逃亡していきました。
ここまでは、ごく普通のファンタジー系によくあることですが、この作品はこれから先が本番です。

In a parallel world called Ente Isla, the Saint Cross Continent, the war between Demon Lord Satan, leading an army of devils and the humans continued. Although at first, they were advantageous, the perish of humans is now a question of time, but after Emilia the Hero appeared, the situation was turned around and the Demon Lord was wounded in the deciding battle. Leaving behind a promise that he would regain his powers and return to claim Ente Isla again, he escaped to another world through a timespace gate.
Until this point, the story is a rather plain fantasy tale, but in this work, the proper story is only beginning.
