Second best ED of the season – Hatsudou!! Love Beam☆ (Hanamaru Kindergarten ED #4)

Published on January 31, 2010 by NEOZEED. 0 Comments

After Omamori Himari’s BEAM my BEAM, of course. The bass line is so awesome, voice started weird, but the kindergarten singing grew on me. And in contrast to Omamori Himari, GAINAX (GAINAX’d) actually knows how to animate things. The Hanamaru Kindergarten EDs are my favorite part of the show.

ripped from the video. (my server doesn’t support unicode filenames apparently.)

oh btw the official lyrics for this came out so this might be incorrect, someone go check

Update! Ok so me and and my bro @bitmapblog (hate twitter notation) got together to try to transcribe the lyrics, it was an arduous task (he got more stuff than I did ofc), but here’s what we got:

はちきれそうなこのキモチ　ストレートにオセオセで
Hachikire sou na kono kimochi.  Sutoreeto ni ose ose de.
先ずは自信を付けましょう　勇気を出すためのコツよ
Mazu wa jishin wo tsukemashou. Yuuki wo dasu tame no kotsu yo.
大人の女磨いでギュギュ
Otona no onna migaite. Gyu! gyu!
スキンケアバシャバシャして
Sukinkea pasha pasha shite.
鏡の前笑顔の練習健気でかわいいでしょね
Kagami no mae, egao no renshuu. Kenagede kawaii deshou ne?
早く大きくなりたい未来へワープ出来たらな
Hayaku ooki kunairitai mirai he warp! Dekitarana.
アナタへの思いが今強く強く発動
Anata he no omoi ga ima tsuyoku tsuyoku hatsudou.
らぶビーム・GO!
Rabu Biimu GO!
こっち向いて
Kocchimuite.
らぶビーム・GO!
Rabu Biimu GO!
クリーム Feb 1 update: might be
振り向かせたいったら　がんばるの instead
Kuriimufurimu kaseta itara. Ganbaru no.
らぶビーム・GO!
Rabu Biimu GO!
ライバルがいったって負けないよ
Raibaru ga ittatte. Makenai yo.
Disclaimer neither of us actually speak fluent Japanese so this transcription is just a GAMBLE to see how many we get right once official lyrics come out.
(also we kinda know what the lines mean but I don’t want to paste them and gamble further than what I’m comfortable with.)

aw man I totally forgot about this place, totally

Me on the middle after Yuno h4x'd me for being late

Okay let’s see. First I apologize for forgetting about the mirai nikki stuff, but still no prediction of when I’ll pick it up again.

Second, wrap up of the past season:

  • Haruka Purezza: it’s going somewhere, I can tell, third season plz.

Spoilers: this is totally misleading like the whole series etc

  • Kampfer: lol dumb end for dumb series. (THE LIGHT NOVELS ARE SUPERIOR)
  • Seitokai no Ichizon: I laughed I cried I moe~’d, A++ would watch again (or a second season)

Best character?

  • Sasameki Koto: cool, shame it’s an ongoing manga so no real end.
  • Nyan Koi!: hated the cats hated the cats hated the cats (character design and personalities were cool tho)

stalker twin 4 lyf

And finally, for what I picked up for this season:

  • Baka to Test to Whatever: oh god I hate the plot but why does it look so gooood? and the characters are cute and the animation is well done and it’s colorful and fff

Word on the street former SHAFT folks are working on baka test, I love how it looks.

  • Chu-Bra!: most likely candidate for me to drop, lol little girls lecturing on underwear
  • Dance Dance Vampire Revolution: thought it would be the best series this season, and it looks great (<3 SHAFT’s antics), but I hope they don’t stray too much away from the manga. I’d feel cheated it that happened.

She's cute, that's a plus right?

  • DRR!!: Interesting look, lots of characters, could go anywhere. One to watch for.
  • Hanamaru Youchien: kindergarten kodomo no jikaaaaaan
  • Ladies vs Butlers: more like Kanokon 2: the maido’s revenge (dumb fanservice but interesting-ish nonetheless)

Flameheart is my favorite character so far. Not for weird reasons, she's just funny okay?

  • Omamori Himari: so generic but I love it! shame the animation/character design is not even close to the quality of the manga. Seems like it will be a bad series but I like bad stuff ._.

p.bad animation, but cool nonetheless

  • Sora no ウォト: aw man it looks awesome, and and watching it feels good. In b4 endless comparisons with K-On!, but whatever, I like it a lot.

the owl compressed itself? I lol'd!

So yeah 8 new series plus old stuff that I’m still watching as Bakemonogatari (shaft what the fuck get the new episode out already), Kimi ni Todoke (sawako what the fuck murder kurumi already ._.), Sister Princess (need to progress on that lol) and finally the new-ish addition of Onegai Twins

Moe potential twins with Kagamine Rin/Len uniforms? Sign me up bruv. Also the student council pres is awesome

Yeah, lots of stuff, added to the fact that classes have started, I wonder when I’ll have time to keep this up.

Aw man and I didn’t even mention the manga I started… well I’m running out of space anyway.
