Monster's beginning story

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea,
having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast
and they worshipped the beast, saying
"Who is like unto the beast?
Who is able to make war with him?"”
(The Revelation of Saint John the Divine, 13:1-4)

It takes a more ruthless monster to kill the beast...at least in my opinion...

The Nameless Monster

The Nameless Monster

Once upon a time, there lived a nameless monster.
The monster was dying to have a name so badly.
So the monster decided to set out on a journey to find itself a name.
But the world was such a large place.
So the monster split into two and went on two separate journeys.
One went to the East and the other went to the West.
The monster that went to the east found a village.

There was a blacksmith at the village entrance.
"Mr.Blacksmith, please give me your name" said the monster.
"I can't give you my name" replied the blacksmith.
"If you give me your name I will jump inside you and make you stronger in return." said the monster.
"Really? I'll give you my name if you can make me stronger.", the blacksmith told the monster.
The monster jumped inside the blacksmith.
The monster became Otto the blacksmith.
Otto the blacksmith was the strongest man in the village.
But one day he said:
"Look at me! Look at me!"
"The monster inside of me has grown this big!"
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
The hungry monster ate Otto from the inside out.

The monster then went back to become a monster without a name.
Even though he jumped inside Hans the shoemaker....
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
He went back to being a monster without a name again.
Even though he jumped inside Thomas the hunter.....
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
He still went back to being a monster without a name.
The monster then went to a castle to find a wonderful name.
Inside the castle, there was a very sick boy.
"I'll make you stronger if you give me your name" said the monster
In reply, the boy told him "I'll give you my name if you can cure my illness and make me stronger."
So the monster jumped inside the boy.
The boy became very healthy.

The King was delighted.
"The prince is well! The prince is well!" said the King.
The monster became fond of the boy's name.
He also grew fond of his life inside the castle.
That's why he endured even when he became hungry.
Every day, even when his stomach became very empty, he endured.
But then he became so hungry....
"Look at me! Look at me!" said the boy.
"The monster inside of me has grown this big!"
The boy then ate his father, servants, and everyone.
*Chomp, chomp, munch, munch, gobble, gobble, gulp*
Because everyone was gone....
The boy left on a journey
He walked and walked for days.....

One day the boy met the monster that went west
"I have a name" said the boy.
"It's a wonderful name."
And then the monster that went west said...
"I don't need a name."
"I'm happy even if I don't have a name."
"Because we're monsters without names."
The boy ate the monster that went west.
Even though he now had a name....
There was no one left to call him by his name.
Johan.
It is a wonderful name.

Decided to put this story up here...meant for future discussion. Another reason is that I'm really attracted to this story...It seems to be so simple and yet so profound.

Which Monster character am I?

You Are Nina Fortner
You're probably the kind of person that comes to mind when people think of 'The boy or girl next door.' You're self-reliant, hard working, and friendly. Some people may be envious of you, but most people enjoy being around you once they've gotten to know you better.

Emma (The End - 12 Eps)

Why did this have to end so abruptly? After going through so much, they still parted ways? Naze? Doushite? I thought that when William reached the platform to stop Emma, she would probably give in but she didn't. Will there be an OVA? I had hoped that they would be together but it was so sad that they have to separate.

The both of them thinks too much. Even though they love each other, the more they consider their circumstances, it takes away their courage to be together bit by bit. William doesn't want to force Emma to adapt while she doesn't want him to spoil his family ties because of her. Sometimes, it takes a certain amount of rashness when it comes to love. Being too logical will spoil the whole thing. Of course, you can't go into the relationship without seeing reality.

I thought that this anime was fine until the end where they couldn't be together. Or else, this would be one of my most favourite animes to date.

Emma Ep 9 and 10

It doesn't seem that there is any hope between William and Emma...

Now that Kelly had passed away and William's dad, Richard is still against them being together, Emma's revelation to Hakim that she wants to go back to her hometown would mean that Emma is giving up William.

William hugging Emma in front of his family entrance simply makes me go WOW! However, that seems to be insufficient when it comes to going against Richard in this matter. Why didn't he chase after Emma after she ran away from his house?

He's going to regret it once Emma leaves the city...
