gakuen alice episode 1
this anime is a great hit in the anime internet.throuhout this story has a great sense of mystery and laughter. our herorine mikan, on the left,is a very energetic girl who lives in the ountryside and attends an old,run-down shabby school and lives with her very encouraging ojii-chan(grandpa.).
so the story starts out as they viewed a little kawaii turtle trudjing slowy on a dirt path. then the camera zooms over to a very determined 10-year-old sakura mikan encouraging everyone to take a protest in tearing down herbeloved school and after which, they would merge with a city gakuen(school).unlike her classmates, mikan was unwilling to leave the school with wonderful memories of her best friend, imai hotaru chan. there were flashbacks of mikan remebering those sweet, wonderful memories in that shabby gakuen and meeting hotaru,especially how they got together for a money-grabbing chance to win a competion for kawaii ojou-chans(little girls). mainly, that was hotaru's idea. that was when hotarus alice first made it's apperance, with that hippo-fishing incident. well not really, actually.so the story went on, and hotaru fired a gun to snap mikan back into reality. then our hotaru went away, and mikan and friends decided to see what the new stranger outside the gakuen was doing.when mikan finally got the turtle mail,she went to find hotaru...which turned from a heart warming-moment to a hilarous gag of yet another fight of mikan and hotaru. but there was some heart warmth after all.
when hotaru left for alice gakuen, she only wrote a single letter to mikan in 9 whole months. poor mikan loast her genki image andwas low in spirits all the time.her classmtes noticed this, and began spreading rumors about alice gakuen, saying thathotaru went there for money and all sorts of nonsense what not. finally,after school,mikan heard that hotaru actually donated money when she was in alice gakuen to save the current gakuen mikan was in. mikan couldn't take it,and finally ran away tothe big cithy to meet hotaru in alice gakuen. of course,when she reached there, she was not authorised to enter. two kidnappers,seeing that she was in distress,took advatage to kidnap her by using a ridiculous tick by saying that they could take her into the alice gakuen,which gullible mikan galdy believed. fortunately,narumi-sensei came to the rescue with his phermon alice and allowed her to be one of the students in gakuen alice, which elated mikan. just then, the gakuen walls expolded which sent our mikan flying and crashing on the ground afterward. then she cathes her first
glimpse of the black cat..hyuu natsume. impression
honestly, i was blown away with the cute opening song and all the gags in this show. the chracter desgin is great, and i love the seiyuus to pieces,especially mikan's.iusually 1st episodes are boring, but this one was highly entertaining.besides, ther was alot of mystery about natsume and alice gaken as well as mikan's alice.i can't wait yo see the last episode.
