Japan : Trip to Kansai 海遊館

En français
In the afternoon, we went to 海遊館 (Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan), one of the largest aquarium in the world. They have 29000 animals from 470 different species. It is so big that they even have manta rays and a pair of whale sharks and several dolphins. A whale shark can measure 12.65 meters at most and weight 36 tonnes, those in the aquarium were of course smaller but still really impressive.
The aquarium is extended over several floors and finished with a museum part where you can even pet rays and shares. We went out to see the Christmas illuminations in front of it.

Japan : Trip to Kansai 大坂城

En français
The first morning of our trip we went to visit 大坂城 (Osaka castle). The construction started in 1583 and several people continued to improve and renovate it during the next centuries. Now it's a museum so the interior doesn't look like a Japanese castle anymore. However we can discover the mystery of the construction and of the seals of the divers Japanese clans which participated in it's construction as well as the life of people there few centuries ago.
We also walked in the park around the castle and eat some 肉まん　and たこ焼き.

Japan : Trip to Kansai introduction

En français

From the 19 of November until the 23rd, I have been visiting Kansai with friends. They went few days earlier and we took the bus on the Friday night to join them in Osaka. We had a lot of problems to find our bus. Things can get pretty hard when you can't read basic information and don't even know where to read them but with some help it all turn out fine and we managed to get on this exciting travel to discover another side of Japan. It took us the entire night to travel between Tokyo and Osaka and we met the others at the hotel in the morning. Then we had time for shower and breakfast before leaving for our first day of discovery. In this new series of posts I will show you our activities in Osaka, Nara and Kyoto.

まほろまてぃっく (Mahoromatic)

En français
まほろまてぃっく is a manga serie written by 中山文十郎 and anime directed by 山賀 博之. The manga was run between 1998 and 2004 and the anime diffused at the end of 2001 and beginning of 2002.

It is the story of an fighting android Mahoro who has been created to fight against alien invasion. For her good work she is given the choice to do what she wants for the last 398 days before she stops functioning. She decides to become the maid of 美里 優, the son of her last commender who died during the war. She then moves in with him and starts to develops feeling but the aliens are still there and as she has access to all her weapons she needs to keep on fighting. 美里 優's classmate andcrazy teacher are also around to either be friendly or come between her and 美里 優.



I think this anime is really funny. I like how Mahoro freaks out every time there is something perverted in the house and her continual fight with the teacher. I also like the little poems at the end of each episodes. Watching this was a lot of fun.
