To be honest, I want to introduce this anime even since I started watching back 4 weeks ago. But, after dragging for so long, I decided to give a brief introduction of this anime.
This story is about this young lady, Lydia Carlton who is a fairy doctor. What's a fairy doctor? Fairy doctor is someone who can see and communicate with fairies. In this story, fairies do exist in our world. Er... Rephrase, they co-exist with us in our world except that we can't see them or hear or communicate with them. Fairy doctor acts as a middleman to handle dispute between fairy and human.
And next we have Edgar J. C. Ashenbert. The Ashenbert family is well-known to be loyal to Edward the First, known as Aokishi Hakushaku (I can't translate that into English.) and also a Lord in the Fairy Land. That's if you don't know the real story. (I can't really reveal much.) He is good at manipulating people and able to use people well. He is also well-known to be a lady 'killer'. But when it comes to Lydia, he doesn't know how to duel with her...
In episode 1, we were introduced to Lydia who lives on her own in a countryside. Her father, Professor Carlton, works as a Professor in a university on stones, rock, minerals. Professor Carlton invited Lydia to London to visit him which of course she did, making her involve in the case.
Lydia met Edgar on the boat to London. (To be more precise, she was going to be taken to London by another group of guys.) Edgar claimed that the guy with her is a bad guy who tied him and beat him up. He also told her to believe him and help him escape. Lydia, who is a soft-hearted girl, helped him. Unknowingly, she is taken to a boat by Edgar to voyage to another place. (She is so easy to trick.)
On the boat, Lydia reted a little while to wake up to see Edgar who sweet-talked to her. Another man, Raven, came in to help Edgar with changing his clothes. Raven who noticed Edgar's injury seems a little mad but Edgar asked him to not get worked up and kill people because of these small injuries. (By the way, Raven call Edgar, 'My Lord'. ^//^ So cute~) He also requested Raven to prepare a dress for Lydia to wear for dinner.
At dinner, Edgar introduced Lydia as a friend of his who is also on the way to the same destination. The upper class people chatted that way. One of them asked if Edgar is the descendants of Ashenbert which of course Edgar replied yes. They talked a little about Ashenbert family history. But none of them in the group seems to believe about fairies. This make Lydia very angry and asked them why they only believe about the family and not fairies. Well, the reaction is obvious. But Edgar helped her a little out there. After a while, Lydia left the place to take a walk. There she met Nico who is drinking wine. (>_<'' Cat drink wine?!) They talked a little. When Lydia said that Edgar is quite good looking, he appeared behind her and thanked her compliment.
It is reveal in the end of episode 1, that Edgar need Lydia's help to get the Sword of the Mermaid, Menro(Not quite sure how to spell that but...).
In episode 2, Edgar showed Lydia a coin with carving on it. It is revealed that it will lead them to the sword. (In the meanwhile, officers are checking the ship for suspicious people[Edgar in fact].)
Another news came to Lydia on the train towards their destination. (They dropped off from the ship and took train instead.) The America Killer who has a cross on his tongue. Nico asked Lydia to check it out on Edgar. In which Lydia tried and failed miserably. She tried to pour hot water on Edgar as well, but she got Riven instead. (Riven is protecting his master after all. Very loyal person indeed...)Feeling guilty, Lydia went to apologize to Riven. But she received more surprising news from Riven. (That's Lydia asked if Riven will stop Edgar from killing people and Riven told her that instead of Edgar dirty his hand, he will kill them for his Lord.)
After they dropped off the train, they were attacked again but the previous gang who wanted to kidnap Lydia. A little fight here where we see Riven jumping here and there, turning and spinning in the air... Lydia and Edgar escaping (Edgar protected her as well...)... To a cottage somewhere...
Lydia who is always caring to people, was told by Nico to escape. Nico gave her sleeping pills that will work effectively. They chatted a little on Edgar's history. (I will not talk much on it.) It's then Edgar told Lydia he needed to get the sword at all cost. Lydia then wanted to give him a cup of mint water with the sleeping pills in it but, being Edgar, he realized it as soon as it is given to him and he questioned her. And all of a sudden, Edgar seems to be not himself anymore. Begging Lydia not to abandon him and etc. (Got me on that.) We got a view of Ami in this episode. She is quite an important character in the novel however. But in the anime, she didn't appear at all.
In the end, Lydia still stayed with Edgar to help him get the sword.
In episode 3, it's the first time we see Lydia works as fairy doctor. This part of the show is very cute. ^^ We will also see Riven talk about his own stuff. Then we will see Lydia breaks the code in episode 2. And the bad guys are back again. (Aren't they tired?) This time, they brought Lydia's father along with them. Riven's action again as well for Edgar and Lydia to escape. Another scene is between Lydia, Edgar and Professor Carlton.
In episode 4, we see Riven protecting Lydia from black dog but failed. Lydia was taken and locked up with her father. More information from Riven to Lydia as well as a message from Edgar. Then it continued with the treasure hunting. Anyway, Edgar did obtain the sword after a long way.
I am so sorry that I can't really tell you guys about episode 3 and 4. It is more worthy to watch it on your own. SO watch it!!
Images from Episode 1

PS. I am so surprise when I first heard Midorikawa-san as Edgar. It didn't sound like Zelgadiss or Xingke. But either way, his voice is really... How should I phrase it? I should say he really brought Edgar's personality out. As for Mizuki-san, her voice... is still as cute as when she acts as Fate and Utau. Ah~ *Hearts* *Edited on 2 November: Forgot to add the images...

New anime series~!

Listening to: Good Feeling (Hakushaku to Yousei OP)
Mood: Too tired...
It feels like the anime started just lastly and ended... Though I am not really satisfied with the ending (Especially for Code Geass R2), all well...
Now, for the new animes!!!
Title: Battle Spirits - Shounen Toppa Version (バトルスピリッツ 少年突破バシン)
Honestly, recent card games seems to be all the same. This is one of them. Shounen is Bashin. His mother works as a driver and his father is missing. The same as most of the card game anime, Bashin is very into a game call Battle Spirit. Battle Spirit is a little like Yu-gi-oh and Duel Master. And the rest is... the same. Isekai Toppa!! >_>'
Title: Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka (あかね色に染まる坂)
In order to protect the girl Yuuhi Katagiri, a new transfer student, from danger, Junichi Nagase is forced to kiss her. Not understanding what happend, she screams at him, not knowing that her father has arranged for her to marry him
- Official Summary taken from ANN.
It was all a mistake right from the beginnig. Nagase Junichi (Voiced by Hatano Wataru) is the main character in this story. He is known as Genokiller (What's that?) which apparently is make up by his friends. He saved Katagiri Yuuhi (Voiced by Kugimiya Rie)who was in trouble with two guys (She accidentally dump into one of them and they wanted her to accompany them for a while after realizing she is so cute.) The two guys ran off after recognizing Junichi.
The second time they met was in school, where Yuuhi is the tranfer student to his class. Well, before that, a little humor from Junichi's teacher and his friends, Nishino Fuyuhiko (Voiced by Ishida Akira), Kiryuu Tsukasa (Voiced by Inoue Marina) and Sugishita Seijirou (Voiced by Koyama Rikiya). She became a topic in the class for a while. The two of them chatted for a while and Yuuhi met Junichi's younger sister, Nagase Minato (Voiced by Hirano Aya).
The next day, a little situation happened within the girls making Yuuhi and Ayanokouji Karen (Voiced by Katou Emiri). (I think is something about Yuuhi and Junichi relation) To keep Yuuhi out of trouble (That's what Junichi thought of how), he kissed her, only to receive punch from her.
To be even more ridiculous, she appeared at their doorstep after that very incident and told them, she was Junichi's fiancee (Inazuke).
Honestly, I don't think anything can be so coincident though... And it seems like their father is an agent...
Title: Hakushaku to Yousei (伯爵と妖精)
Based on Novel. The story is set in 19th century England and centers on a "fairy doctor" named Lydia. Her life takes a 180-degrees turn when she meets a legendary blue knight count named Edgar and his crew. He hires her as an adviser during his quest to obtain a treasured sword that was supposed to be handed down to him by his family... Taken from ANN
What I can say is, amazing pairing for the Seiyuu, Midorikawa Hikaru and Mizuki Nana. Pretty much because I like this two Seiyuu as well. (But I like Ishida-san better ^^)
Right, as above, this anime is based on its novel so I can't really tell you or I will spoil the fun 'cause I know all the way to the end of book 1. (I haven't got my 2-6 book) But what I can give is a little information.
Lydia Carlton (Voiced by Mizuki Nana) is a fairy doctor. She can see fairies and speaks to them. Apparently in the story, they do co-exists with us even if we can't see them. Some can see them but can't hear them.
Edgar J. C. Ashenbert (Voiced by Midorikawa Hikaru) is a count who is trying to retrieve a sword guarded by a mermaid. He went to Lydia for help. Lydia somehow got caught in this game...
I am not giving much information either. But what I can say is: Watch this. It's really a nice story.
Title: Shikabane Hime: Aka (屍姫 赫)
Based on the manga. The title "Corpse Princess" belongs to Makina Hoshimura, an undead girl who seeks to hunt down 108 corpses in order to go to heaven. Taken from ANN
Another anime based on manga series. Which actually is not true either. To be true I like the manga better version of starting... Oh well, this is going to be long series I suppose.
And to summarize the first episode, nothing really interesting except for blood and violence I think. Introducing some of the main characters, Hoshimura Makina (Voiced by Akiyama Nana) who is the Corpse Princess, Kagami Ouri (Voiced by Hosome Tatsuya) and some others.
But then again, if you like blood and everything, especially its manga, watch this anime.
Title: To Aru Majutsu no Index (とある魔術の禁書目録)
* Based on a light novel series by Kamachi Kazuma, illustrated by Haimura Kiyotaka.
Set in a city of scientifically advanced superhuman students, but in a world where magic is also real. Toma Kamijo's right hand, the Imagine Breaker, will negate all magic, psychic, or divine powers, but not his own bad luck. One day he finds a young girl hanging on his balcony railing. She turns out to be a nun from the Church of England, and her mind has been implanted with the Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum - all the magical texts the Church has removed from circulation. Taken from AniDB.net
I haven't really watch this anime So I can't really say if it's good or not...
Title: ToraDora! (とらドラ！)
Despite Ryūji Takasu's gentle personality, his eyes make him look like an intimidating delinquent so he is utterly hopeless about his chances of getting a girlfriend anytime soon, and does not have many close friends either. After being greeted by his hungover mother in the morning, Ryūji goes to school and is happy to find that he gets to be in the same class as his best friend Yūsaku Kitamura and crush Minori Kushieda. However, it is then that he unexpectedly knocks into "the school's most dangerous animal of the highest risk level" — Taiga Aisaka — who just happens to also be in his class, and is a good friend of Minori.
Haha~ This feels so much like watching Shakugan no Shana. It's so funny right from the start. Honestly, if you really like Shana, watch this. Highly recommended!
Takasu Ryuji (Voiced by Majima Junji), sad guy (A big nice guy) with a pair of dangerous eyes making everyone avoid him with Aisaka Taiga (Voiced by our dear Shana, as well as Yuuhi from Akane-Iro ni Somaru Saka, Kugimiya Rie), the pocket-size tiger. What will happen, I really wonder?
Title: Yozakura Quartet (夜桜四重奏 〜ヨザクラカルテット〜)
Based on the manga. The story revolves around a quartet of teenaged heroes: A super-strong girl named Hime, a mind reader named Ao, a conjurer named Kotoha and an ordinary, powerless boy named Akina. The three girls and Akina protect the city of Sakurashin from supernatural threats. Taken from ANN
Seriously, anime lately based a lot on the novel and manga don't they? This is another one. I was just a little interested in the story. But overall, this anime is about Youkai and human living harmony in this city named Sakurashin and this group of teens fight to keep harmony and peace here for everyone.
That's all for now. This is list of anime I am watching. It doesn't mean that's all. Shugo Chara is onto new season named Shugo Chara! Doki! The first episode is the review of all 51 episodes. So we will see action next week between Ikuto and Tadase. And from the opening, Nadeshiko seems to have come back to Japan using his male version. >_<' Another new character seems to be coming as well... Oh well... See you guys~!
