I guess it is safe to say that I am doing well this past few days. I have been forcing myself to snap out of those moments where I find myself lurking in the shadow of my anxiety and/or depression. Of course there were still nights where I randomly think of sad things (either something that happened in real life or a part of a story that I was trying to come up with) and end up shedding a few milliliters of tears, but that's it. No dangerous thoughts whatsoever.
Anyway, I'll be talking about this anime that I have seen right after I finished the entire twelve episodes of Another. I was supposed to watch either Ao no Exorcist or Ano Natsu de Matteru at that time though.
Ikoku Meiro no Croisée is a historical, slice of life anime with twelve episodes. Set somewhere in Europe with a cute Japanese girl wearing pretty kimonos in every episode... There's no way that I'd drop it off my list.
Except for the ending that left me wanting for a bit more of the story, I could say that I am happy with this anime. There were touching parts as well as funny ones. It also gave me an idea on how the past seemed to be, being a historical kind of anime, which has always been one of my fascinations in life. I also love its soundtrack (I think two or three songs were already saved on my phone) and how it lifts up my mood... Well, at least a little bit.
Obviously, my favorite character is Yune. 'Cause come on! The girls too pure and innocent for me not to put so much favor on her character. Yeah. I'm also fascinated with how pure and innocent younger ones could be. It never fails to make me go back and take things lightly, and be less harsh on myself.
Hopefully I'd be able to finish watching Ano Natsu de Matteru and eventually start on Ao no Exorcist, or finally watch some of the episodes of Shiki that I wasn't able to watch through the local cable channel. I'm running out of happy posts, btw.

The story takes place in the second half of the 19th century, as Japanese culture gains popularity in the West. A young Japanese girl, Yune, accompanies a French traveller, Oscar, on his journey back to France, and offers to help at the family's ironwork shop in Paris. Oscar's nephew and shop-owner Claude reluctantly accepts to take care of Yune, and we learn how those two, who have so little in common, get to understand each other and live together in the Paris of the 1800s.
