Oh, yeah. I actually almost forgot about this: “Enmusubi no Youko-chan”, which MyAnimeList hasn’t approved yet because of reasons of which MyAnimeList has already deleted the entry because of reasons (probably because the Chinese version is already in the database). The Anime, as you might now, is actually a Japanese dubbed version of the ONA series “Huyao Xiao Hongniang” that aired in China, thus making this a Dong Hua, actually my favourite one.

By the way, perhaps you would better like its English title “Fox Spirit Matchmaker”? Well, I personally prefer the Chinese one.

Remember, the Japanese version has a normal Episode format, thus one of this version is equal to two episodes of the Chinese one, thus, you will get to the part that enlightened, stunned and made me fall in love with this series in just few episodes.

Well, let’s go over the Opening already, “Hitomi Some (瞳染)” by Ren Rei (蓮莉) (just got the spelling from google, so although the kanji are correct, the spelling might be wrong). Though, I have to say, I wonder why was it that difficult to find the song’s name, after searching for a while, I had to go over the Japanese Wikipedia page to check it. Albeit I’m still not 100% sure, the ED Theme song name is exactly the same the Official site listed in its “music” section, so I’m positive they are the right ones.

…crap. I feel like crying. Ok, the Opening theme is totally different from the Chinese one:

Not only for the obviously different, and duh Japanese (annndd it’s in freaking Chinese. Definitely not a bad thing, as I like Chinese, but it makes me wonder the logic behind this choice… Thanks xingfenzhen for claryfing), song, but for the visual parts too, as in the Anime version there are many scenes from the second Arc/Chinese second season. And, well, I can’t say I’m unsatisfied: like I said, I seriously loved that part (I pray they use Chinese OP2 for it though).

Still… they are just so different in the song too. Just listen to the slow, almost melancholic Japanese one, and then to the upbeat comedy-like Chinese one. You get why I didn’t really like much the first season of Chinese version? It was full of non-serious events that went into a meh comedy-level in my opinion, only towards the ending it got good. Well, enough of me, I hope you enjoy it (I will naturally watch it too!).

Huh, I prefer the original Chinese one here though.
