Special A

Special A is a story that primarily focuses on Hikari Hanazono and her attempt to beat her childhood rival, Kei Takishima.

It all started when Hikari was six years old. Her dad taught her how to fight, and she thought that she was undefeatable. But when she challenged Kei to a fight, he beat her and practically humiliated her. Since then, she swore that she would beat him no matter what.

She enrolled in the Private Hakusen Academy with him. It’s an elite, rich school that separates classes by grades. The top students in each class is in the A class, and the top seven students in the A class are in the Special A [SA] class. Hikari, Kei, and their five other friends have been in SA since they were younger, although Kei is always ranked 1 and Hikari is always ranked 2. [Source]

No one recommended Special A to me. I just found it in ADC-Anime while searching for servers where I can watch Fate/Stay Night. Oh! I wasn’t able to post a blog entry for Fate/Stay Night. My bad. Anyways, it was an interesting Anime. I like Fate/Stay Night and I’m glad I haven’t totally forgotten this Anime, which Francis or Jano recommended a year and a half ago.

Special A is an Anime packed with comedy, challenges, and a little romance. I didn’t watch this Anime because of the latter. I got intrigued by the plot. Besides, there were only twenty four episodes. I prefer to watch Anime with few episodes.

I love watching this Anime. It’s so entertaining. There were sad moments but they don’t have much gravity. I miss watching this Anime. I’m actually planning to read its manga. Just can’t get enough.

Hanazono Hikari, the main character, is very inspiring. She is an admirable and cheerful person, a friend you’d love to have. Her determination to beat Takishima Kei is superb. But Hikari is thickheaded and oblivious when it comes to romance, which reminded me of someone I know very well. Myself.

Takishima Kei is the ever rank 1 student of Hakusenkan (or Private Hakusen Academy) and also the rival of Hanazono Hikari, the ever rank 2. He always calls Hikari as Miss Rank Two as a tease. What I like most about him is his acknowledgement of Hikari’s obtuseness.

Before the 4th Weekend..

HOUSE, M.D. 512 — Painless
I’m glad I was able to catch up with House’s latest episode. I can now pursue the other TV dramas I’ve always wanted to watch. Hopefully.

FATE/STAY NIGHT 009
It was either Tohsaka was smart and observant enough to identify Shirou’s character or Shirou was just crystal clear with his protectiveness to Saber.

NCIS 105 — The Curse
I don’t think this TV drama appealed to me as much as CSI:NY did. Maybe I just had enough doses of crime investigations. But it was amusing that this drama shows the characters’ distinct characteristics. Who doesn’t know Ducky?

CSI:NY 513 — Rush to Judgment
Lindsay Monroe said, “Boom!” Seems like Montana gal has adapted Danny’s expression.
I don’t have much to say about this episode. I was just glad that I was able to watch it yesterday dawn. I was so excited when it was made available. *content* =)

Shows I’ve just watched..

Gossip Girl 215: Gone With the Will
“You’re father believed in you. I believed in you. You’re the only one who didn’t.”

House, M.D. 510: Let Them Eat Cake
Cuddy was flirting. I just hoped she was trying to do it while annoying House.
About Thirteen’s case, the past is really freaky.
The other two doctors were really funny in the morgue. The look in their face was priceless. Haha!

Fate/Stay Night episode 05
Another character I can relate to. Btw, another servant showed up and Rider was the name. I like that.
