Full Moon wo Sagashite : Spoilers Dead Ahead
I never did a full post on FMwS... I suppose it's because I'm been cramming it in every chance I got so that I could finish. It's really good, but the only complaint I have is that there are too many filler episodes. Yeah, they flesh out the characters more and give them a little more depth, but there are so many of them it pisses me off. They could have cut out at least 10 episodes and the result would have been the same.
Another thing, I know that music is the core of the show, it's about singing after all, but if I hear Myself one more time, I'll find Myco and kill her for singing 'Doushite, Doushite-' so many times. The second opening, Rock N' Roll Princess... I don't like it. I watched it all twice. The first time out of curiosity, the second time just to make sure I didn't like it, which I didn't. The first ending I liked, but it was only 7 episodes because Full Moon's first single Myself debuted and it replaced it. The third ending and Full Moon's 3rd single, a cover song for Route L, Eternal Snow, was really beautiful. It's a really painful song, too. It basically says that "If I had known falling in love was this painful, if I had known how this would feel, I never should have met you." I mean, what age group is this show aimed at? It was serialized in Ribon... Isn't that aimed at 13 year olds or less? 0.o
The full version of Eternal Snow is just as breathtaking. It plays at the end of episode 42 when Mitsuki finds out that Eichi is dead. In the manga, she knew that Eichi was dead the entire time and it wasn't until book 4 that the Shinigami found out he was dead and realized a little later she knew, too. Back to the anime, when she finds out, you can just imagine how devastated she is. She was singing not just because she loved singing, but just for the sake of finding Eichi and telling him how she feels for him because she wasn't able to before he left for America. She wanders out into the snow and finds Eichi's grave. She collapses onto it and pretty much resigns herself to dying. She says to herself, "I'll just lie here, and when I wake up, I'll be with Eichi."
I mean, DAMN. The only reason she didn't freeze to death was because Takuto found her and brought her back to the cabin. They get back from America and Mitsuki's obaa-san is so furious because she comes back looking like she'd lost half of her soul. If only she knew... Wakaouji-sensei and Ooshige-san get a bitching out by obaa-san AND the professional people because Full Moon had to pull out of a lot of things because she was 'on vacation'.
Mitsuki is just sitting around, eyes all dull, staring at the same picture of Eichi and her from two years ago. Her throat, which had been getting better, just suddenly declines because of her lack of a will to live. Her obaa-san wants to get her surgery, but Mitsuki refuses, saying "The only thing I won't give up is my voice". She thinks If I lose my voice, then when I see Eichi, I won't be able to call out for him. ::sighs::
The last thing I've seen is 43. It's almost funny, because Mitsuki's obaa-san didn't care if Mitsuki lost her voice and couldn't sing [because she REALLY hates music "Ongaku ga KIRAI"]. Now that Mitsuki got back and said that music really only did bring pain and she wasn't going to sing again, her obaa-san suddenly wanted to find a way to spare her voice. She found out the only way to do it is going to America, which is part of the reason Mitsuki went there in the first place despite her obaa-san's protests, and the only person in Japan with enough know-how on the subject is Wakaouji-sensei. Oh how the world goes round... Anyway, that's it. I'll do another entry when I finish it... That'll be in about a day. Probably tomorrow...
