Wayback Wednesday Series - Skip Beat!

"I will show you incredible mastery of the art of acting! Everyone will kowtow before my amazing acting skills!" -Kyoko Mogami

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Wayback Wednesday Series! Today, I will post some of the anime that I frequently added and watch from my watchlist. First off is this!

Yep, she already know that she will curse these guys.

Ahh Skip Beat, the newest addition to my anime watchlist and I indeed enjoy this romcom/teen drama anime that is debuted on TV in 2011 and why? Because Mamo-chan (Mamoru Miyano) and Marina Inoue (as Kyoko Mogami aka the orange-haired) are starred in this show, and also starred by some of the popular seiyuus including Katsuyuki Konishi (Gundam-san's Char Aznable), Kouji Ishii (aka the crazed Hougen from Ginga Densetsu Weed), and Kenji Hamada (Lorenz Giuliano in Argevollen). It also adapted into a live-action serial starring Ivy Chen and Super Junior's Siwon.

Skip Beat! follows the story of a 16-year old girl named Kyoko Mogami, who love her childhood friend Shotaro Fuwa, but eventually betrayed by him. Kyoko learned a great deal on hostelry and other jobs while having spent a large part of her childhood and the inn where Shotaro's parents live. But Shotaro asks Kyoko to run away with him to Tokyo in order to wish to not taking over the parents' business, leaving her life in Kyoto and her high school life behind to help Sho pursue a career in music. After living a frugal life in Tokyo, Kyoko finally snaps, and instead, her 'Pandora's Box' opens and thus she vows her vengeance on Sho. And so, Kyoko changes her appearance and enters the world of entertainment, facing difficult challenges ahead of her. Kyoko's journey climbs up the ladder of showbiz as she meets some interesting people, friends and troublemakers alike, with hopes of get revenge on Sho, as well as regaining the compassion that Kyoko had lost. Along the way, Kyoko meets Ren Tsuruga, who disapproves of her, but later comes to love her. As she cultivates her acting and friendships, Kyoko soon discovers a sense of self separate from her initial plans for great revenge.

Earlier on a few hours ago, I managed to watch episodes 7 to 10, and Inoue's role of Kyoko is indeed a good one, while Konishi's role of Ren is amazing. I recently watched the tenth episode, when Kyoko sees Sho during a TV taping (a talk show), and this dressed as Bo the Chicken, and just look at the shocking look at Kyoko's face!

And also, I enjoy watching anime on your laptop or HD television (external hard drive, USB flash drive or plug your TV through and HDMI cable on your laptop), and here's my afternoon chow to end my post here.
