Phew, finally some rest. Am waiting for the results from Squeenix. Also, I sorted out my Sapporo pics (at long last!) but am lazy to post them up for now :P  Meanwhile, enjoy the following two openings and hopefully they will unlock some fun memories for you as they did for me.

A truly underrated anime. Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora is a tragic but bittersweet story of two sick teenagers who met in a hospital. What I like about it is that almost the entire show is set in that hospital, so the imagery of being sick within a confined environment with bad news coming to you at any moment is conveyed rather powerfully.

On top of the OP’s great music, there are a lot of symbolic messages hidden in it as well. It may seem so normal, but the very image of the girl wearing a school uniform itself can be meaningful to those who have watched it. To those who prefer live action, there’s also the J-drama version.

One of the best PC game openings for me. My diploma multimedia project involved being in a make-believe company that makes game trailers, called Scream Interactive. The C is in a shape of a Pacman. Creative huh? Thief:The Dark Project was one of the team’s video editing demos.

Since then, I got hooked to the game. This is during the time when hiding-instead-of-attacking games were hot (MGS, anyone?). The game rocks too, both gameplay-wise and graphics-wise. Truly a masterpiece! Though, since my computer didn’t evolve at that time, I didn’t play the graphically-demanding sequels :P
