Oh my.. SAO III :3 I said I've hated this anime but tbh I haven't miss any episodes of it :p :D if not with that "BAkA admin" of that SAO II page from before that says kirito & asuna did 16.5 many times lol :p :p maybe I wouldn't feel awful haha..but still since I haven't miss each of the arcs ithink I wouldn't miss this "Alicization (underworld)" arc either :) coz I'm still curious though & reading some spoilers makes me think it would be cool & pls don't continue to read if you don't want spoilers :D :D Ok then, but sorry to disappoint but its said that there's no much appearances of the previous characters like asuna or sinon on this coz it focuses on kirito in a new era where science is 1st discoverd & technology is medieval where he will meet some new friends named Eugeo & Alice an AI's while Kirito is working in the real world as a beta tester on fourth generation FullDive technology with a company called Raft :) Ok, that's it.. let's just see anyway ;) -jztkn11

But hey! since i would like to share with you some more im going to give you some of the details written by Patrick Fryer

For fans wanting Sword Art Online Season 3 spoilers, many are focused on what will happen to Kirito and Asuna. After all, Kirito spent much of SAO Season 2 adding to his waifu collection, and while Mother’s Rosario and the Excalibur story arc did feature Asuna, those stories did not develop their romance any further. Unfortunately, anime fans may have to wait quite a while to find out what happens next, since the Sword Art Online: Alicization light novels have enough story content to create Sword Art Online Season 4. Worse, author Reki Kawahara separates Kirito and Asuna for most of the Underworld story, and even in the most recent light novels a happy ending is nowhere in sight. Some fans want to see wedding bells, but so far only a death knell has been rung for certain SAO characters.

In a related report by the Inquisitr, the release of The Seven Deadly Sins Season 2 has officially been confirmed for 2016. FUNimation is also predicting the same for Tokyo Ghoul Season 3, but fans are already demanding a reboot of the anime series, since it has strayed so far from the manga. Speaking of reboots, some fans are wondering if A-1 Pictures may focus on a SAO reboot based upon the SAO: Progressive light novels.

Ever since the English dub of Sword Art Online Season 2 released, English-speaking fans have been pining away for something to happen between Kirito and Asuna. Once back in the real world, their romance seemed to stall out, although that is understandable since Kirito’s age is only 17 by the end of the Phantom Bullet story arc, although his girlfriend/in-game wife happens to be 18 years old. Oh, Asuna, you cradle robber!

In any case, Sword Art Online Season is likely to be based upon the Alicization/Underworld light novels assuming that Kawahara does not invent a new story for the anime. This does not seem likely since the fictional story timeline has Mother’s Rosario ending in April of 2026, while the Alicization arc begins in June of the same year. It is rumored that the Sword Art Online movie will take place some time in this time gap, but otherwise the only story material available for SAO Season 3 would be the Sword Art Online: Girls Ops stories. While it wouldn’t be surprising if those stories eventually become animated, it would most likely be released as an OVA, not a full anime season.

Warning: Major Sword Art Online Spoilers From Here On

So far, the Sword Art Online anime has followed the details of the light novels fairly closely, and it is safe to assume that SAO Season 3 may continue this trend. Based upon this assumption, Kirito and Asuna are in for quite a ride; although, Asuna will be absent in the anime for quite a while based upon in-game time.

That is the crux upon which the next part of the story relies. Without giving too much away, real world Kirigaya Kazuto (Kirito) has taken a job testing an experimental FullDive machine called the Soul Translator. A new virtual world called Underworld has been built for this purpose, but time flows much differently in comparison to the real world. So, while Kirito experiences a years worth of time during the Alicization arc, in the real world only a little over a month will pass for Asuna.

If you want a more detailed explanation of the Alicization story arc, check out the previous article on that topic, but the short version is that Kazuto is attacked in the real world and his heart is stopped. Doctors are able to save his life, but he suffers brain damage in the process. In order to repair this damage, the Japanese Self Defense Force takes Kazuto to a secret base in the Pacific Ocean called the Ocean Turtle, where Kirito once again wakes up in Underworld.

Game world time has progressed by years since his last dive. From there on, Kirito is busy in Underworld having “years” worth of adventures with new characters like Eugeo and Alice. The vast majority of the light novels released so far focus on telling in-game events, including wars between major powers.

Along the way, Kirito eventually does manage to make contact with the real world, but his “soul,” or Fluctlight as it’s called in the story, is damaged within the game world. Meanwhile, Asuna manages to get onto the Ocean Turtle, but it is invaded within a few real world days. This attack causes the power to the Soul Translator to fluctuate, and Kirito’s soul suffers even more damage.

In order to save her love, Asuna dives into Underworld, but peace in Underworld only comes through sacrifice. One of the main characters dies, pouring their dying soul into a broken sword in order to defeat a terrible enemy.

That is pretty much where fans are left hanging. Sword Art Online: Alicization Exploding was released in August of 2015, but we won’t find out what happens to Kirito and Asuna until Sword Art Online Volume 17 releases. It is possible the SAO Season 3 anime will have a stopping point somewhere along this line, so it may not be until Sword Art Online Season 4 until Asuna has a major role.

To put things in perspective, the anime SAO Season 1 covered volumes one through four and one of the side stories of volume eight. The Gun Gale Online story arc from Sword Art Online Season 2 covers volumes five through seven. It is safe to assume that the Sword Art Online Season 3 anime may only cover a portion of the currently published Alicization story arc.

In the end, if Kirito and Asuna are to have a happy ending together, it probably won’t be until Sword Art Online Season 4 or beyond.

Fuyu no Owari ni - At Winters End

- At Winters End-

I remember 

About that day 

As the snow that dances in the night sky 

Begins to fall again.

You were always 

Only looking forward, 

And it seemed like 

You would go somewhere far away.

My feelings 

Won’t reach you, 

And you don’t even notice them.

I’ve been pining for you 

For so many winters 

That I can’t even count.

It’s not requited, and not fulfilled, 

But I’m still in love with you. It’s never-ending. 

Even if it’s painful, 

My heart won’t freeze.

To you, 

Important things 

Are all equal, 

So I’m just as important to you.

If that will 

Become your happiness, 

I’ll send you off with a smile. 

That’s the last thing I can do.

I’m sure you've 

Forgotten long ago, 

But that moment was special to me.

I think back, time and time again, 

To the moment we first met. 

It’s always in my heart.

I’m sure I won’t ever fall in love 

With someone like this again. 

I thought this as I gazed 

At the silver scenery that had piled up.

I’ve been pining for you 

For so many winters 

That I can’t even count.

it’s not requited, and not fulfilled, 

Even so, I’m OK… Is what I tried to tell myself, 

But I was telling myself a lie.

I’ve got to convey it endlessly, 

Even if it’s a love that won’t reach. 

Now, I gather my courage, 

I muster all my strength and I scream to you :

I LOVE YOU ! 

Hinata's character song for Naruto from before :) gad! still feels excruciating everytime i read it again, the reason why i like her character so much more coz y'know she always tries & endure & shes humble & very kind :) She inspires me so much.

Uhm btw..here's a description about this song i found in tumblr & i think i couln't agree much coz she said it exactly as i wanted it to be so i'm just going to share it here :) -jztkn11

An analysis of Nana Mizuki’s  “Fuyu No Owari Ne“ performance

In doing the lyrics for the fandub of Fuyu No Owari Ne, and in trying to make suitable lyrics that actually suit and flow with the song, I must have listened to it more times than I can count.

And yet, it’s only now, when I listen to the auditions for the fandub, and the lyrics are fully complete, that I truly appreciate Nana Mizuki’s original performance of the song.

You can listen to it here, by the way:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBO64zFAF1Q

For those who are not in the know, “Character Songs” are songs specifically made for anime that showcase a character’s problems, story, motivation and well… character. They are performed in the original character’s voice and they are as much anime performance showcases as they are songs.

Think of the difference between the movie version of “Let it Go” and the studio version that was released as a single. The single version of “Let It Go” is simply a great song. In contrast, the movie version is Elsa’s “Character Song” and it’s a performance that is supposed to convey the confllict and variety of emotions that Elsa goes though when she decides to isolate herself and set up the plot for the rest of the movie.

(Which is why people tend to prefer listening to the movie version of the song)

Make no mistake, Fuyu No Owari Ne isHinata’s character song. It’s performed in Hinata’s high-pitched voice (which is quite different from Nana Mizuki’s normal voice) and each verse, through Nana Mizuki’s subtle and sublime performance manages to capture Hinata’s personality and her internal struggles perfectly!

Lets go through each verse and see how Nana Mizuki’s performance changes.

Verse 1

Hinata talks about the winter and how the snow reminds her of “that day” (the day that Naruto saved her from the bullies, when they first met). 

Her voice is cheery and uplifting. She recalls something that is very dear to her heart.

Verse 2

She talks about Naruto and about how he always moves forward. She talks about the distance that is between them and about how he always seems to be somewhere far away.

Though Hinata’s voice remains cheery it starts to show a hint of sadness as she talks about Naruto and the distance that is between him and her.

Verse 3

She talks about how, no matter what she does, her feelings just don’t seem to reach Naruto.

This is a small but important verse that transits the song from the cheery first verses to the sad verses that follow. You can hear Hinata’s demeanour change as she says the lines.

Verse 4

She talks about long she has pined for Naruto and how futile her efforts seem to be. This love isn’t requited and it doesn’t fulfill her, but, even though it hurts her, her heart can’t help but still beat for him.

This is where Hinata’s voice becomes noticably sad. And yet as she says the lines there is a hint of hope and determination.

Verses 5 and 6

She talks about how Naruto sees all things and all people as equally important, which means that to him, she is just as important as everybody else. She says she doesn’t mind and she will still send off Naruto with a smile ignoring her own feelings inside.

Though the verse seems cheery, a repeat in tune of the first verse, Hinata’s voice is now noticably bitter, as if she is forcing herself to laugh and smile despite being in pain.

Verse 7

Hinata talks about how Naruto has forgotten the day they first met, but that it’s still special in her heart.

Another transition from cheery to sad, like in verse 3, but the lingering bitterness in Hinata’s voice makes the transition more dramatic.

Verse 8

She talks about how  her memories with Naruto are precious to her and about how she will never fall in love with someone like this again.

Though the lyrics seem to be happy, Hinata’s voice is now sad and bitter. She is clearly feeling conflicted about her feelings, and about her memories.

Verse 9

A repeat of verse 4 about how long she has longed for Naruto.

Though the lyrics are a repeat of a previous point in the song, Hinata’s voice is now really different: it is downright lonely, devoid of most musical instrument backup (just a lone piano melody) and is openly melancholic.

Verse 10 an 11

She kept telling herself that she would be happy, if only Naruto was happy, but she was lying to herself all this time. She wants to be with him. So she will muster all her strength will try to convey her feelings to him once more, even though she knowsthat it’s a futile effort.

This is the crescendo and the most dramatic point of the song. Hinata’s voice is openly cracking as she sings those verses. She is falling into despair and she is trying to hold back her tears. 

Last Verse

Hinata just says “I love you”

It’s a simple line, but again, it’s the delivery that sells it. Hinata’s voice is now determined and strong after the conflict she was faced. She will make her feelings known to Naruto eventually.

I should be noted that all of this is done in a subtle manner. There is no exaggeration in Hinata’s voice, and there is no overacting. With her sublime performance in the song Nana Mizuki manages to capture Hinata’s gentle and kind nature, along with her conflicting feelings and the tragedy of her unrequited love.

I hope this analysis will help you to appreciate the song more!

Itachi Shinden-hen Hikari to Yami

Itachi Shinden-hen Hikari to Yami

I didn’t understand back then..

What real pain was.

The pain of losing a life..

I felt it for the first time after losing it..

No, I was made to realize it..

The feeling of not wanting to lose something precious.

Will the day come when you’ll possess these eyes too?

The day when you come to know what sadness is?

-Itachi-

Ok, i've just done watching Naruto Shippuuden Episode 543 (Itachi Shinden-hen Hikari to Yami Episode 3) and all i can say is it's indeed very awesome i really like it & i like how they slowly unfolds the story from the light novel itself,though i have a little disappointment with the making of how they make it into Anime coz there are some missed with the details and stuff like for example Tsunade's face in the Hokage monuments like why she's there the Hokage on that time is still Minato (Naruto's Father) & that baby Sasuke's foot on episode 542 though xD i don't know but ithink it looks weird :D but anyway all in all i still like it :) & i think i can forgive studio peirrot because of the story and i'm so glad they made a backstory of it in anime though it's a filler episode but it's worth it. But anyway, i still don't wanna miss the movie 'coz i think there's still more to look forward to that after this & i think this animated episode is just a teaser for that main story..So yah,. guess i'm still going to wait some more for the real thing & it's the movie :D -jztkn11

Inuyasha

"Fire on the Mystic Island"

At Horai Island, six half-demon children, Asagi, Dai, Roku, Moegi, Shion and Ai watch a Kikyo look-alike develop in a green orb, then stand in front of the Cauldron of Resonance while it comes to life. Four scars, the mark of the Four War Gods (Ryuura, Juura, Kyoura and Gora), appear on all of the children's backs, except Ai. Asagi tells Ai to leave the island while she does not have the mark. After Ai leaves, The Four War Gods find out and try to retrieve her, but InuYasha and the others defeat Gora and save Ai, who asks them on Horai Island. Later, InuYasha explains the myth Horai Island, which appears once every and recalls fifty years ago, when he and Kikyo went there to meet the half-demon children, the Four War Gods attacked them. Gora sucked some of Kikyo's blood and creates her doppelganger, and Ryuura marked InuYasha's back with the scar, saying that he would never be free from them with the scar on him. The gang decides to head to Horai Island to investigate.

The villagers panic upon seeing the island. In a small hut, Kikyo listens to a man's tale of Horai Island and leaves, saying she would defeat the demons. The rest of the villagers rush to the shrine and start praying for divine protection; Kyora appears and proceeds to burn down the shrine and kill many of the villagers. Sesshomaru arrives and drives him off. After the battle, he remembers back to his first encounter with Kyora, when he was marked by the scar; he has a personal vendetta. As InuYasha and company near the island, Jura appears and fires his Thunder Cannon at them, destroying their boat. Miroku and Sango fly away on Kirara, pursued by Jura, while InuYasha, Kagome and Ai escape to the beach, where they meet Ryura. In the ensuing fight, Ryura nearly kills InuYasha, but Kagome stops him by firing a sacred arrow. Ryura is forced to retreat when he sees his hands faded out of existence, but not before he hurls some insults at InuYasha. Ai leads the group to the village, where they find Asagi singing together with the other four children. When InuYasha reveals his plan to confront the Four War Gods, Asagi begs him to reconsider, saying they will all be killed. The gang learns that Asagi is going to sacrifice herself to the Cauldron of Resonance, and she argues her death will allow the others to live a little longer. They all follow Asagi to the Cauldron, where InuYasha attempts to destroy it with failure. Suddenly, he and Asagi are pulled inside as it closes. Outside, the rest of the gang and the children try to open the doors, while on the inside, InuYasha feels his strength waning. Lady Kanade, the priestess who fought the Four War Gods fifty years ago, appears and lends her strength to InuYasha, along with the War Gods' power spheres in a box, telling him it must be destroyed as soon as possible and never opened. In return, she asks InuYasha to save the children, then gives her blessing to Asagi before she disappears. InuYasha destroys the door of the Cauldron with Adamant Barrage, accidentally breaking Kagome's bow in the process.

The Kikyo look-alike appears and takes the power spheres from InuYasha who chases her to the War Gods, where she opens the box, releasing the spheres to their owners. While Kagome,Shippo and the children attempt to make a raft to escape, the Kikyo doppelganger attacks InuYasha. At the Cauldron, Sesshomaru appears and finds Kyora waiting for him. Sesshomaru easily defeats him with another Dragon Strike. Meanwhile, Miroku and Sango fly on Kirara to confront Jura and the resurrected Gora. Using his Wind Tunnel, Miroku redirects Gora's blasts so that it hits Jura and Sango finishes him off with Hiraikotsu. Meanwhile, InuYasha battles with the fake Kikyo and is about to lose when the true Kikyo appears and defeats the impostor, then leaves her bow behind. InuYasha finds Ryura attacking Kagome and the children, and he kills him with his Wind Scar. With only Gora remaining, Miroku spears Gora's head with his staff, greatly weakening it. With InuYasha's Backlash Wave, he kills the last War God. However, all the power spheres combine to create the true War God. Although a combination of Kagome's sacred arrow and InuYasha's Backlash Wave can destroy it, she cannot fight because her bow was broken. The fireflies, spirits of the previously sacrificed island residents, lead the children to Kikyo's bow and they bring it to Kagome. Finally, Kagome's arrow purifies the War Gods' attack and, with the fireflies' blessing, InuYasha unleashes his Backlash Wave with his Adamant Barrage, killing the fireflies and the War God. As the gang and the children leave the island, it vanishes into the broken time line.

During the credits, it is indicated that the children spend some time with Kaede's villagers, before departing to face the world by themselves.
