To see the unseen
“When you fall down on the walkway, you bleed.
When you fall down in life, you cry.” – Minori, Toradora ep24
Ok normally I wouldn’t write about anime, there are already way too many of those blogs out there. But sometimes, something that someone does or says almost resonates with some core values and beliefs you have.

To see your willpower, to be able to sense your own determination. Even if it meant you have to give up part of yourself, even if it meant you have to smile all the time and not cry when you want to cry. To be prepared with the resolve to endure all pains & hardships your chosen path brings. If someone else can also see your will, it would be the most precious gift ever. But even if no-one does, you are not ever going to give up.
But in the end you are still going to cry because perfection is impossible to achieve. However after you have cried, you can feel a part of you – a part that you thought you had left behind long ago. Even if it was sealed, it was always there and you realise you can draw comfort from it again whenever there’s a need.

Toradora’s a good anime in the emotional/romance/comedy categories, I recommend watching it. It’s only 25 eps with the last ep coming out next week. Whilst on this topic, Clannad & Clannad After Story is another amazing anime series, that you’d have to watch. And I should stop before I get into a long list of obscure shounen anime that no-one cares about….=P
