ZERO!!
Nhan-Fiction Note: Hataraku Maou-sama! is by far one of the most creative anime stories I have ever seen. Like, seriously, who would ever envision a plot where the demon lord from another world ends up on Earth and has to work at a McDonald’s-equivalent job to support himself and his underling?
Not to mention, the heroine of the other world (who was out to kill him) follows the demon lord to Earth and has to work at a call center while scoping out her “mortal enemy.” Of course, they all come across one another real fast, and you can expect lots of wacky and hilarious situations! I highly recommend you check out this anime series!

(Get out of your cage)
(Fly toward the sky)
It all starts right here, right now
Let’s picture what we can do
Unbelievable things might happen
But we can overcome them all
(For our dreams)
Our dreams are born from nothing and take us (fly) to that shining sky
(Spread your wings)
I want to spread my wings
Now here I go, with the greatest smile on my face
Let’s set out to an unknown world
(Go to another world)
We’ll be the ones to choose and decide the future
Let’s chase after our dreams
There will be times when we cry, but they will be precious memories
Don’t fade away
I’m sure you’ll be able to meet your future self
(Get out of your cage)
(Fly toward the sky)
Showstopper: Kitchen Nightmares
Nhan-Fiction Note: As described in yesterday’s post, I am attempting to make each day of the week have some kind of “scheduled” post theme to go along with the other random stuff I post. For today, I will be starting the Showstopper series for Wednesday.
I watch all kinds of different shows, so I guess it is good that I talk about some of the things I like. Also, please note that some of the videos shown below do contain swearing. Just for your information.

Gordon Ramsay is my favorite celebrity chef in the world. I will always take his word when it comes to the culinary arts.
I also am a huge fan of one of his signature shows called Kitchen Nightmares. I have seen every episode for both the UK and American versions of the TV program. There is something about restaurants that appeal to me. I have always been fascinated by the inner workings of the food service industry, from how the servers take your order to how a restaurant’s kitchen service “line“ is set up to create (hopefully) tasty dishes for the customers.
The premise of Kitchen Nightmares, of course, involves Ramsay checking out a failing restaurant to analyze and devise a plan of attack at saving the business.
The show follows a consistent structure in most cases: a restaurant is drowning in debt and is in need of dire help, Ramsay comes into the restaurant and starts to pick apart the restaurant’s shortcomings (bad food, hideous decor, inept management and so forth), Ramsay has to convince the owner(s) of the failing restaurant to change, the relaunch/restaurant renovation occurs next and then everything (presumably) looks like the given restaurant is back on track toward success.

This World Has Been Waiting for Us
Nhan-Fiction Note: Suisei no Gargantia is one of the best anime series this season for me.
English Translation
Fly high, to the far reaches of your dreams
That’s where our future lies
This world has been waiting for us
My true wishes can no longer be contained
We’ll proceed as we please
No place is beyond our reach if you’re with me
We’ll run past it all, for our hearts are free
The power I wish for lies within me
Your smile told me that
Fly high
We’ll approach the light, just you see
The night sky burns with hope
At the far reaches of the dream I once had
We can find our future
This world has been waiting for us

Lyrics
Looking at the storm above us it doesn’t look like we can get through
It won’t be easy but I’ll make it with you by my side
If we always stay together, the lightning wouldn’t even stop us
Beyond the clouds, another adventure awaits
But you say wow wow wow wow wow
The tears from yesterday will keep us from flying
And I go wow wow wow wow wow
We’ll leave all those memories behind and be free
Let’s fly like butterflies on the wind
Just believe all the dreams in your heart
Meant to be friends from the start
I’ll be with you forever until the very end
Even though these troubles tear at our wings
I know we’ll reach for the sky through the rain
Wait for tomorrow and see
On my love
Someday in Our Future
Nhan-Fiction Note: Love Live! School Idol Project is awesome! (Credit to the Wiki site for the translation/lyrics below).
English Translation
If we combine our feelings together
Perhaps we can manage somehow or another
Our power is tiny but
There are dreams we want to nurture
There’s much we don’t comprehend
There is nothing like roadmaps in our pockets
It’ll be okay even if we just progress little by little
Let’s stick our chests out proudly and push forward
What will you do when you mess up?
Why not try smiling? With a smile shout, “Yay, yay, yay!”
We’ll be fine singing with genuine and honest voices
One, two, three, four
Everyone, over here!
Someday, our wishes will come true someday
Someday, let’s have faith that they’ll make it someday
There’s no point in crying like that, after all
The fun has still just, still just begun! Read the rest of this entry »
Random Kanji Knowledge: Yume
Random Kanji Knowledge time! I will try to make an honest effort at posting more of these a bit more frequently because learning stuff is fun.
The Japanese word for dream is 夢 (yume), which is pronounced like you-may. 夢 is a commonly used word in Japanese culture. I count 夢 as a buzz word that pops up A LOT in anime and whatnot. Read the rest of this entry »
Shuffle
Nhan-Fiction Note: I have to give a special thank you to Mokey-chan for dubbing one of my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! songs ever. She is super special awesome! *^*
Please subscribe to Imoristar’s YouTube channel. She is such a ☆!
Shuffle Lyrics
I can’t cross over
It is irritating
I’m breaking through to the unknown hurdle
And even though there’s no answers before me
Do you think that you are afraid? (On the field)
You don’t need to hesitate (don’t go away) and yet …
The road to tomorrow isn’t quite yet visible
They say that our dreams cannot come true
So just close your eyes!
Listen to your heart!
Just like the cards, surely
We’ll create a miracle
Yes, we can win!
Never lose!
Listen to your heart!
Just like the cards, surely
This miracle will exist for us! Read the rest of this entry »
