If you can't make yourself happy, at least try to not make others unhappy.

Says a lot about a lot of people, actually. But really, I'm trying very hard not to. Then again, I'm always unhappy. Well, at least, showing an unhappy face because of my natural frown. I should really stop doing that but smiling makes me look like an idiot... Okay I'm insulting myself now lol

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #8

You know what's best about Sundays? I don't do any schoolwork. Nothing. What about other days, you say? Well... it's definitely more than how much I do today haha

Okay, school is sad. Entertainment is not. Not even my mom can stop me enjoying whatever is in front of a monitor. Let's begin. *laughs*



アニメ Dagashi Kashi 2
Unlike many other Anime girls I know this Hajime will get beat up by me every time she says something that represents her laziness haha I know she resembles me *sob*
The new episode (#DagashiKashiS207) brings us another #finally in this Anime series the production has teased since the beginning: The slacker and homeless of a failure Owari Hajime. (I mean, her name totally suggests that in case you don't know it means 'beginning (of) end' lol) To say there's anything we can talk about her positively will be an overstatement. She literally has nothing much we can talk about lol. God, I'm so going to relate her to myself very soon. Well, the upside is I'm not living alone on rent, so that's good news maybe. Still, Hajime-san chose to get kicked out of the vibrant staff community that is in the convenience store and settle for the shop? I mean, she just wants to tide through life I guess, and considering she is at her last resort, Kokonotsu kindly takes her in. Problem only comes when it's not only between them that this new hire is in the shop, as Sayashi becomes the first to be surprised at this announcement that Kokonotsu is... oh well, I don't know how to describe haha. Well, you know. *laughs* Anyways, it'll be good to see what will happen between these people considering Hajime has no knowledge of dagashi (okay I'll say she knows Art), and maybe having someone other than the Endou siblings to open their minds on may be good once in a while. I mean, if you're not sick of the main cast I am NO I AM NOT DO YOU NOT HEAR HOW CUTE SAYASHI IS AT THE END??? lol
Now I wonder if the original author Kotoyama-sensei drew this on the manga lol
P.S. I assume the "-su" syllable on Hajime's speech is supposedly of a particular accent but I can't figure out who... I feel bad for the show once again though as it still deserves the full length episode treatment just so we can get to know more of her before other people come in.

アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
THE MOTHER??? WE GONNA GET THE (REAL) SKILLED TEASER ON BOARD NOW?? Oh we don't get to see her face oh well haha
God, I love those Nishikata Takagi-san thoughts haha they are the best. Okay, the new episode (#TakagiSan07) really takes a lot of things to a new level, and I like. The show. *laughs* Okay, the episode. There may be too many things I can touch on (literally), so I'll try to sum things up. Firstly, Nishikata buys the new volume of "100% Unrequited Love" (yes I'm making this big to shame that one guy) which is literally them but reversed roles lol, and Takagi-san manages to catch him buying it once again. I mean, just guessing makes it easy to even assume - as a friend - that he is buying such a thing, so why bother to bet? Man, he's just dumb. Then, there's the punishment which I wouldn't call otherwise, but yeah Nishikata get to shop with the girl for a swimsuit. Of course that other couple must appear to make things worse (only for Nishikata apparently), and I think we all had a blast imagining Takagi-san naked. (And if you did, I'm calling the cops you pedophile lol) Then, there's the all anticipated summer part of the series, which of course, is wonderfully represented by the secondary team of cast. (Again, if you expected anything else I'm calling the cops) Lastly, Nishikata once again stupidly invites Takagi-san to his house to do homework, with just a simple bait of letting him copy her homework. Of course Takagi-san is smart enough to only bring the work she's done that does not matter, and just enjoy her time at his house. I mean, she's the only one that's enjoying all of this all of us are sweating if I'm not the only one doing so haha. One last thing: I honestly think the new ending theme song does not suit the series. And yes, I am a fan of Chatmonchy and I've heard this before.
#Nishikata3me Someday I want to do this too you lucky bastard haha
P.S. TIL Manga "Karakai Jouzu no (Moto) Takagi-san" was not about Takagi-san's mother, but her child. Oops. Be sure to check out the other serialisations related to the show too. Man, the author is creating a vibrant world with just two people
P.P.S. "What type of swimsuit do you like?" I prefer the ones with the laces- Wait, she not asking me? Damn. "How did it come to this?" Because you're dumb? *laughs*
[Omake: I feel embarrassed somehow to say this but I did kind of trick a girl into doing revision at my place hehe so yeah Nishikata you lose MUAHAHAHAHA (maybe I'll talk about it at the end of this post I don't know)]
  • Do not freak out at the sight of your nemesis (lol)
  • Do either be a straight guy or be a straight out liar; Do not be both
  • Do not say yes to everything without listening to others
  • Do not agree to anything sudden especially if you have a schedule to follow
  • Do not find stupid excuses unless you want to otherwise get intimate with someone
  • Do your own homework (lol) and do not resort to copying others (lol) even if you have to (lolol)


アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Wait so the one girl likes salmon that much she looks straight in the face at Eiko and drags Tama-chan away? Can someone explain what level is that on?? lol okay I get it
Okay besides the fact that we may be seeing an episode in Anime history about nudist beaches lol, the new episode (#SlowStart08) encourages us to meet friends, talk to others, and buy swimsuits while we're at it haha. There, I summarised it. Even hidden-behind-Eiko-to-try-out-swimsuits Kamuri would be proud haha man I didn't notice that tbh. Okay, the episode. There's so much to talk about I don't even know where to do it properly anymore haha. Firstly, Hana-chan's got homeroom duties to do. She forgets, reaches school late to do it, and her partner Takahashi kindly finishes it for her. Honestly saying I'll just return the favour by doing all the duties after school, but hey, I guess Hana-chan is not that enthusiastic. Then, the friends kindly (this word is so overused) introduce her to the classmates in the room. And yeah the teacher is right: There is no need to know everyone in class, considering the two friends who do naturally know all of them and you're the shy person. Still, it's good to know. (Also, add in those newbie seiyuus!! lol) Not forgetting Hiroe-san who recently got interested in the packed lunches from Shion lol, the main girls go out to shop for swimsuits. Beach episode warning, everyone. Just, not the nude kind haha. Anyways, the jokes in this show are stellar (which explains why I have to be the straight guy for each and every one of them) and I can't help but think of the demographic of the audience in this show because it's literally a bunch of guys watching this show meant for girls haha hey whatever fits man tight underwear also count hehe
Hover/Tap if you want to know what makes Tama-chan cry
HAHA BOOBS (no, no GIF) (thanks CSS)
P.S. Never thought I'd ask myself this question but are English names easier to remember or Japanese family names? Hmm... sorry Hana I'm trampling on you once again haha SOMEONE GIVE SOME LOVE TO HANA-CHAN!!
P.P.S. I'll say it once, and I'll say it again - HANNEN HIROE FOR BEST GIRL!! haha I can't take schoolgirls at my age anymore sorry
[PLEASE MAKE ME STOP THE DESIRE TO DO GIFS THERE'S WAY TOO MANY ON THIS]

漫画 Dagashi Kashi
The new chapters (113-115) (And I'm sorry for missing the first one because it belonged to last week) continues on the recent Anime episodes which are... far from boring to say the least. Owari Hajime became the new part-time worker for the dagashi shop transiting quickly from the convenience store opposite the road, and of course, that surprises Saya-chan. Apart from the extras the Anime put in from Kokonotsu thinking of a part-time hire in the room instead of coming from outside the house to the over-exaggerated faces of Kokonotsu (this is a first btw), everything is as per se in the animation. Can't wait to see what happens next though, although from what I see here we will need Hotaru-chan to come back REAL soon or otherwise we'll just forget about her and move on lol please don't I know Sayashi may be best girl but- (lol)
FOUND IT HAHA

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week is a rather quiet week, but then again I think you can guess what excuse I'll give for not finding more new songs every month anyway haha. I've gained some interest in Awesome City Club (yes it's a name, and they released a best album only three years after debut; as a measure average is five) following Friends last week so I may need some time to give a couple more songs sometime by the end of the month hopefully. I've get finalised my review for SCANDAL's latest album but going how their style goes I might as well give up haha. Lastly, I think I'm going to give one of Fujifabric's latest song form last year because it's uniquely weird in melody and overall feel, and it's somehow getting me addicted for some reason. It may be perfect representation for my state now though, so that's good. *laughs*

I've yet to hear from SpecialThanks yet so I'll get to that by the end of the month, maybe tomorrow because it's going to be hectic real soon. Next week didn't bring any prominent releases so I better conclude the ones I'm in review now then.



This is it then. It's kind of late and I need an excuse to do this shorter every week. Man, I'm getting lazy. Then again, I can't wait to end school life soon. Well, mainly that project actually. There's two quizzes this week too, so... (Audience whispers) Oh, that incident? (refer to Takagi-san Omake above) Sure. In a nutshell, we arranged to meet for revision before exams (she initiated it, she bold girl) (she knew my results aren't good anyway so she said why not study together) twice at the nearby community center where there are seats but I intentionally led her to start later in the morning on the second and since it's near my place and the center is full by the time we want to start near noon... you can guess what happened then. My mom came home early so we aren't the only two who can keep this secret anymore GODDAMMIT MOM!! *laughs* Cya guys then, and until next time... I wish this world is full of girls who take initiative because they want company. Hey, she may have a partner but I can always use some productive company hehe thanks Kristie (oops)

[P.S. How's the CSS? I'm still in learning but this is just a small touch which will prove fun when I want to spice up the website for those who took notice really]

Sunday 18 February 2018

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #7

Hey, how are you enjoying your long weekend? Haha, my mind is full of that project despite sinking into the Chinese New Year mood. Clearly stress is going to be a big factor when it comes to my future job problems I can't put them down especially when I have to do it "full-time"

Maybe I should just work part-time at a fast food restaurant haha okay let's move on



アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
"It's how I normally sit" haha yeah WITH YOUR LEGS WIDE OPEN RIGHT haha and that is how you don't get laid lol
Man, doesn't it piss your off when you see lovey-dovey action and yet NOTHING HAPPENS?? Ugh. Haha, in the new episode (#TakagiSan06) it's the summer vacation, and of course, Takagi-san must find a way to tease poor Nishikata as much as possible so he can continue his push-up regime to keep himself fit. (Well, I assume he is ripped by now lol) Still, doesn't stop Nishikata from being dumb enough to accept all the offers that comes from Takagi, mainly because of her clever use of words to egg the poor boy to do stuff against his will. Hey, I'm not talking about witch level powers, but still. Somehow he gets to play around with the girl more often than ever, and even then he still hasn't learnt a trick or two from her. (Compare that to the other manga publication which isn't featured here starring her with the mother) Nonetheless, it's still a joy (maybe I'm getting bored no boy is THIS dumb lol) to see Nishikata fall into the trap every time, all the time, without realising that his persistent character is getting in the way. We're halfway through already for this series (which is still early according to Sanae-chan and Mina-chan haha), and we're not close to a conclusion, or chances we're not getting any. It's okay though, because this is good enough. Just like how much of a tease this is just to watch through it, hoping for a happy ending somewhere haha man I'm as dumb as Nishikata so much wishful thinking that is Takagi hehe
A perfect summary of maintaining a relationship lol
P.S. "Want to drink?" ITADAKIMASU haha he never heard of drinking without touching the can huh
P.P.S. Man, if not for friendship maintenance between Yukari-chan and her retard friends (lol) who will give their well done early-finished homework to those slackers haha no seriously do your work early or just don't you'll get scolded and probably have a week to finish them all anyway lolol
[I noticed the segment looks terrible on mobile so I'll just put without the design here instead]
  • Do not deny that you are embarrassed (lol what's the point of this show)
  • Do learn to give up for the right reasons
  • Do not refuse an offer especially if it means to satisfy your needs (thanks for the juice)
  • Advice from previous episodes apply in the new episode (he still hasn't learnt anything)

アニメ Dagashi Kashi 2
Wow man Kokonotsu he's here to TAKE YOU DOWN lol "sweets corner" 
HEY, FINALLY! PLOT DEVELOPMENT!!! The new episode (#DagashiKashiS206) talks about what was left of a cliffhanger which is obviously just a signal of rivalry against the humble dagashi shop: the convenience. Considered as a staple to modern society first-built amenities, Yutaka has brought a team of employees to open shop in the small village, which no doubt, will attract crowds to their shop and leave the poor establishment in the lurch. Still, Kokonotsu is just amazed, but not impressed, at what is in front of him. He blabbers feedback to his opponent, refuses the offer to work for them, and disrespects his father by not keeping up (the porn mag) business... he's got a lot more coming. Still, Hotaru is still pretty much stuck in his mind, and along with it, at least one and a half seasons of lessons of how dagashi came to be. So yeah, you'd be crazy to say yes to any offer from that narcissistic freak of a manager haha. Still, no formal plan has been established on other side just yet, as we may get a quick insight to our other new character - that unenthusiastic employee of the convenience store - turn back to even leave her current job for good. Who knows? It's not going to be a story of the century, but it's got to be something worth more than those expensive whole cakes, right?
The decorations lol
And seriously, that one whole cake can get you one dagashi a day for like, a year haha
P.S. "I'll grab them with my both hands" I know Kokonotsu is talking about Hotaru-chan lol you lose porn mags haha
P.P.S. And seriously, that hourly wage of 850yen (lol) which is above the average is probably the closest to Yutaka will ever get to convince Kokonotsu to ditch the family-owned shop tbh haha

アニメ Slow Start
Man WTF did I just watch you guys sure this is not yuri? lol
As we may be looming on the side which I'll probably elaborate at the end, the new episode (#SlowStart07) talks subtle about... no it's not something wrong. It's just maybe it's all the Anime experience that I had and this just turns out to be more than your usual girls' talk, and add in the fact that the pace of this show is slow, it kind of drags out the emotions especially awkwardness (come on even the end card too??) a little too long there. Still. The story goes that Eiko saw the teacher drunk, and whatever happened I'll leave you to watch. It's not much of weird, but it's still unusual. Then again, that is not it. And the second half, I prefer. (Sorry Kamu you'll never get to know haha) And surprisingly, it ties back (pun not intended) properly (no really I'm not) to Hana-chan herself, about her not mentioning about herself to her current budding friends. I wouldn't say it's bad, there probably is a better time to do this which is definitely before any of these happened, but hey, there aren't any huge consequences to this so I won't say much. How to say... to set up this much just to talk about secrets and stuff maybe a bit of a stretch, but what is in my mind is more of the fact that the author put this teacher-student part in without thinking. Okay, maybe that did happened and it's like "heck, it's Anime" kind of thing, I assume lol. Anyways, I'll forget this episode in an instant too, so no harm to me haha. I still prefer - like the previous episodes - where just do normal slice-of-life stuff, touch on jokes here and there, instead of focusing on emotional stuff. But hey, if this is the direction of this show now, I actually do not mind. I just feel confused. The queries in my mind about this episode is probably going to loom over me for some time, I guess.
I'm finding a thumbnail that isn't inappropriate, so here's Wishing Tree Tokura haha
P.S. Yeah it most definitely looks like something happened "the teacher tied me up" haha god this genre is so underrated? (I mean, I don't know)
P.P.S. The point is Tokura is just so happy about being the victim considering she is the one doing it to other girls I suppose man this show is dark in the wrong sense lol

アニメ Sangatsu no Lion
Just in case you were like me who is not in the know since last week, the next episode will air 3rd March earliest. Cya guys then. *laughs* WHAT THE F-

漫画 Dagashi Kashi
The new chapters (111-112) following the recent episode of Anime is... rather short. Hey, I'm not saying it's bad, but somehow the manga did not force me on believing the idea of the works compared to the Anime, which did kind of ramp it up a bit, but this time, I feel it's on the negative side. Things that are summarised on the original work is expanded (the porn mags, for example), and I can only let the Anime take credit for extending some of the scenes when they have to (thinking of Hotaru, for example), and that is pretty much it. The discussion was done in the convenience store instead of the dagashi shop, the simplification for introductions of not asking for name... sometimes it feels off, and the Anime may not be rectifying it. But I'm glad I didn't read this first or I'll sure be disappointed. And as mentioned in the Anime segment, we're close to the other new character we'll no doubt see her get involved in this very soon. I mean, who wants to work in a convenience store... right?
Just a show for the different in art form.
Yes, this is that weird convenience store manager lol

漫画 Nagasarete Airantou
The new chapter (155) tells us that Yukino's plans to have some time with Ikuto was a huge success, thanks to that distraction last chapter which is also a huge success lol. Anyways, they visit the only mind-reader youkai in the island, and apparently Ikuto's trip was with intention from the elder in the island. Thinking that way, one can't help but find out the romance preferences of the only guy in the island right now (can I move there now we need to help Ikuto really), and turns out he's too honest to have a specific preference. Although I would say it may not be the case if he's still at his hometown now, but at least he's still thinking about it. I mean, the girls on this island. Can't help but, I guess haha. All in all, we've (maybe?) known quite a lot more about Ikuto than we have little knowledge of him already (okay maybe the grandfather but) so we should see some development along the way. Maybe. Honestly saying? I'm glad Yukino took the effort to grow up. But maybe she should do some bathroom trips if she doesn't want to wet the bed all the time lol
Poor Ikuto lol literally ALL the girls are against him okay maybe not Suzu-chan

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Three new releases have appeared under the scope of Klassic Note this Valentine's Day week, in case you guys remembered that day instead of the other one haha. (Yes I know I forgot to mention them last week so here it is) It can be easily summarised in the Tweet below (chain Tweets are awesome), but I'll talk about it a little more. I listened to Friends latest mini-album from last year because I watched the COUNTDOWN JAPAN live video from last year end, and found these guys sound great. Sadly, I think I'm still disappointed by the other music videos I hear on YouTube which are real similar to the one I gave, and the release was less than stellar. Still, I'm going to give a second chance next week maybe, so I'll see about that. SCANDAL's new album is also out, but since from two years ago they changed their style to include more beats and pop elements, I've not been impressed by the new songs, not to say this release. So I guess I'll do a second round without caring for style or else I may be leaving them in the lurch just like what I did with miwa last year haha. Lastly, the new single from Ohara Yuiko is probably the best Valentine's Day gift, but problem is which version do you want. And if you may have noticed, the two releases are both qualified to be on my shelf. Sadly, even with Apple Music, I've not been thinking to any extent to put any of them on review. So yeah, sad to say I may have to pass. I don't think her compositions make of enough substance, so this may be it too. Then again I hope I'll not see her again for next season Anime I don't need this combo lol
SpecialThanks is releasing their new mini-album next week which is less than impressive when I first heard the topic song music video, so hopefully my perspective will change somehow. I've also heard ORESAMA is going to release a new album on April, and the topic song... probably is more digestible compared to the other singles I've tried to give from last year, so I'll give it a listen when the time comes. Come on, I've given high ranks for that one song last year, so I got to give them another chance.



I guess that is it. Not bothered to dive into that stack of OVAs I haven't watched which I probably won't talk about it here anyways but yeah, schoolwork is important I want to graduate anyway haha. Cya guys next week then, and if you're kind enough to wish me a happy birthday tomorrow over at my Twitter account it would make my day because my family made mine today already. Until next time then.

Tuesday 13 February 2018

Imagine if everyone in your life has never been nice to you. Will you still think positively about society?

I need to stop posting comments on social media, I swear. *laughs*

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #6

I mean, if you never tried all of your means to go for the "Karakai Chocolate" event with Takahashi Rie-chan (voices Takagi-san) in Japan, I can't blame you. BUT if you DIDN'T try to bypass that region restriction to watch the livestream just now, you have missed out. You know of the dummy head microphone? (It's binaural sound synthesis you peasants haha I'm an engineer) Yeah, they used the heck out of it. My headphone is breaking along with my heart and brain haha

Okay, time to talk about Entertainment. Thanks to a specific solo project I'm only spending Sundays to do this now. Yeah, still no progress. *sigh* I wish I can get this done and over with quickly. This one's the truth btw



アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
I mean, can't Nishikata say something like "what's wrong with me coming here to buy books?" and cr*p out something like the soccer thing? He can buy nothing, you know.
The new episode (#TakagiSan05) of this show reminds us once again that it isn't Takagi-san who is too smart, but Nishikata who is too dumb. Dear Nishikata, just keep the volume down next time, yes? *laughs* Anyways, story. Firstly, Nishikata is spending time studying alone instead of going out of his friends to play because if he doesn't score well he's going to lose his video games, courtesy of his tempered parents I assume. Still, Takagi-san feels bad about it in many ways than other, and decides to teach him... on the stuff that won't appear in the test lol. Takagi-san you cad. (Just think of it the other gender way, okay?) Also, I like the cut to Yukari-chan because she also seems to have that problem with video games lol, but in her case it's reward, which should be Nishikata's too maybe. Then again, didn't know video games are this much of a thing (my parents don't believe in them btw they think it's a waste of money), but seeing how two different people react to them - in failure - is fantastic lol. Then, there's the bookstore trip. I like how Nishikata is so worried about being found out something that he likes, even if it's something cheesy. Hey, that's what makes him him, people. Of course Takagi-san who passed by can't help but tease the heck out of him, even revealing to him her secret which turns out to be false, since she was lied to earlier anyways. Haha, whichever is true, I'll leave it to you to imagine. Lastly, in the rain. For starters, I will never say yes to lending my shirt to a girl (Rie-chan: "Ecchi"), even if it's the rain and I can see most of what's under her shirt haha (even I'm blushing lol), but then again Nishikata is as pure as he is gentlemanly, kindly gives his shirt away, and now that he lost the bet, he's probably going to parade the exchanged shirts with Takagi-san around the town so that everyone knows. Man Nishikata, you're an idiot. To end this, I like how many things can easily be avoided when Nishikata asks for more information, and also avoids the issue altogether. Although I must commend him for being concerned about his surroundings, even if it's a jerk like Takagi-san haha. Things everyone of us will do but not him easily summarises this show. Common sense is not in this boy, everyone. *laughs*
Man, I'm not even angry. Poor Yukari-chan *laughs*
からかい回避
(banter evasion)
  • Don't tell everything to someone who will end up using that to tease you
  • Don't overthink other people's intentions for helping you (instead think of why they would do without thinking)
  • Don't write everything on your face (practice in the mirror if necessary)
  • Don't come up with lies you can't believe in (lol)
  • Don't tell the truth to certain people, and always stay it that way without doubt
  • Don't sacrifice being a laughingstock to everyone when you are to yourself
P.S. I like how we get to see Takagi-san change into the P.E. shirt but Nishikata doesn't haha I know right?? #sukebe


アニメ Dagashi Kashi 2
"I'll make this a place where people can gather together" *background opposite the street is a convenience store* lol
The quote above fully summarises this new episode (#DagashiKashiS205) because that is it. Well, with Hotaru gone missing (the manga reflects too btw refer to below to see if I've read it) Kokonotsu feels down, and so is the shop. Don't ask me why the dad is like that too, and how they got back the money to refurbish it back, but hey, at least it's back up. Sayashi got to enjoy a chat with him like they used to, and as usual Tou-kun is always at the wrong tempo lol. All in all, a great start to revive what is pretty much dead to Hotaru's appearance, and we may have something bigger in our hands. A competitior. Yeah, that modern day solution we all have come to know and (not where I live) always love: it's a convenience store. So yeah, finally one of the new characters will arrive as seen from the preview, and I can't wait to watch what is going to happen next. Will the store crush down Shikada Dagashi? Or will there be some kind of agreement? It all sounds impossible now, but I'd like it to happen. Hopefully with that huge-chested girl of the biggest sweets company in Japan who has gone missing for three story months lol
When my Prof tells me <insert excuse here> lol
P.S. Thanks this episode Anime for putting on the focus for Sayashi because I've never heard enough of Nu-chan (Numakura Manami) and I need more. I feel satisfied now for some reason haha please don't hit me


アニメ Slow Start
What is with the weird opening from Shion and Tama-chan? lol
Yep, you didn't hear it wrongly. The new nipple episode (#SlowStart06) (lol) talks about a stay over. Hey, slice-of-life, everyone. Once again Shion is out of the apartment, which means Hana-chan can play uh I mean, study with everyone else for the day. Okay, maybe just the day. And with the help of Hiroe-san, they get through with great success, had a great dinner, and... well everything else seemingly falls into place. A nice touch for talking about being scared of stuff from Tama-chan which is quite typical of this series (which I'm starting to like), and also some way to present a different side of this show. All in all, I must say if I spoil more here you won't be able to enjoy what is in store. And if you have watched you'll know everything I say here will remind you of something wonderful in the episode. (I am SO tempted to spoil Hiroe-san's part) (AND THE BATH SCENES) (lol) On a side note, I think Hiroe is just trying to find excuses such that she doesn't have to dress well outside of her house. No seriously, wear pretty when throwing out the trash, yes? So that perverts on the streets can-
Well technically I'm not spoiling anything here,
but WTF is with the cinematic view? lol
P.S. Man, hearing Hiroe-san (Uchida Maaya) put the bath salts and going into the bath with the salts is AS IF I was watching porn lol (Uh, I mean, I don't know)
P.P.S. Because I don't have any (spoiler-free) comments... TWO GIFS!! YEAH, high five butt slap!!
lol
OMAKE!!!
Can't help but notice this is perfect to loop hehe

アニメ Sangatsu no Lion
You bet I waited. It just... it just doesn't want to come to me. Next week.

漫画 Dagashi Kashi
Note: I'll only be reading the chapters which cover the latest episode of the Anime
The "new" chapters (109-110) talked about EXACTLY what happened in the latest episode of the Anime, so I'll go through this quick. Hotaru is missing for a season (in story), Kokonotsu is as run down as the shop, and the father broke the foot lol. Anyways, he restores it to its former glory, and upon thinking up of another strategy to win over the people, he notices someone has already done it. Cue, the convenience store! Yep, that's it for now. Other than that punch to Tou-kun's face, and that super detailed skeleton of You-san's bone break (lol), everything is as expected as you can see. I like the Anime. It takes it and adds a little more, which is good touch. And yes, the pace is perfect for just two chapters in an episode, and that's what is going to make me like the show anyways. Also, the manga. Yes Kotoyama-sensei, half the reason I started reading this is because I wanted to know more. Now that there's the Anime... well you're taking in the money anyway, so congrats haha
No, this is not some ancient samurai drama lol You-san

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week brings us a couple of releases that... can't be compared together, so I'll talk about them separately. Hanazawa Kana new single is pretty good, I did give one of the two B-sides which is unusual for me anyways, but no cigar. No on-my-shelf release, sadly. Same thing with nano.RIPE new single which the official Twitter is promoting actively recently (I mean, even the illegal downloads?? They don't know), and despite it being the opening theme song for some yuri Anime, I still think it stands good on its own. Also, another B-side. Lastly, I don't think I want to talk about LILI LIMIT new EP considering I didn't like the preview I heard a couple of weeks ago and I still didn't like it when I heard it this week. Well, this is the other style of them I don't want to give, I guess. I'll pass, guys. Cya guys next release.
Talking about next week... hey it's Valentine's Day! And we do have a romantic release waiting for us, and that is the new single from Oohara Yuiko (I'm trying to write it so it's searchable) which I've given a pass on her last season in Anime "Houseki no Kuni", if you thought the ending theme was terrible like I did. This one, I'll try to give. I want to burn that online voucher that online store gave me for my birthday. One of them expired but I still got another hehe I'll see about it



This is it then. I will talk about my motto for Klassic Note soon after my school semester ends in May probably, and then will I go full on to complete the anniversary stuff I've planned so much and yet to execute on. *sigh* I hate reports. Cya guys then, and until next time... I guess I have to see the doctor again for my sinus infection. I hear going for surgery is faster and easier too. Man, when will I ever learn to seek medical assistance for flu as soon as possible? Haha bye

Wednesday 7 February 2018

Is it not okay to ask for some level of perfection in all the things we do in life?

Think about it: the (Chinese) new year is around the corner. People are dressing themselves up, making arrangements for dinner, and so on. So if anything happens and you don't get what you want, is it bad? Should we be demanding for more? Should we not be happy with a less than ideal alternative? Sometimes, it's better to not ask for more.

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #5

I'm trying real hard to forget the school life and trying to do this with a happy face. It has not been easy.

Damn, final year projects are hard. Especially when you have to write the report all by yourself. Yeah, never done that before alone tbh. Oh you guys have? Man, I suck. (Yeah I just wanted to remind myself that. Okay, let's get to it)




アニメ Sangatsu no Lion (last week)
I mean, if this Anime concludes on telling us what Souya Meijin is, I'll be satisfied. That's all. (Yes, I used "what")
Last week's episode (#3Lion37) (don't blame me already please) continues on the match with Kiriyama with the master Souya Meijin (I mean, his name is the word), and I'm not disappointed. After the match, it seems like the show wants to shine some light to what we will see from Souya himself, which is less than speechless but more of admiring in intelligence, I believe. But hey, when he speaks, he knows. That's good enough. To say that they have some rapport to an extent may be an overstatement, but I liked this episode because it seems like Souya knows everything. From playing shougi to doing everything in order in case of an emergency train down service, he's doing it without even flinching. And that must be impressive, coming from an experienced player who probably done this a couple of times and probably saw others deal with the situation maybe. Still, his calmness makes me feel at ease for some reason. And for Kiriyama? He can't get enough. To see the difference for ourselves now is amazing, to be honest.
<No comment>
P.S. Haha did you expect the next episode preview to be total silence? I hoped so lol like it's just the music? *laughs*
P.P.S. When they were at the train station Souya literally looked like those mission objective arrows in a video game lol wherever he stares is the next best solution haha

アニメ Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
Why is Nishikata acting like every Anime guy's dreams? lol
Man, this show is a lot of surprises, just like... okay no I don't think so it's just Nishikata that is dumb anyway haha. The new episode (#TakagiSan04) gives us more on the insights of Nishikata's empty brain matter lol, and that just means we get to see more stupid stuff happening haha. He has to clean up the science room himself due to making too much noise in class (lol the consequences on him) (he never thought that far ahead hasn't he), but Takagi-san just chose to appear to play with him. Hey, by now we should be like their classmates and all know that they are (trying to be) a thing already, but guess who's the only dork who is still in the dark? Anyways, that is that. I mean, Takagi-san even went as far as to know what TV show he watched last night, isn't it? Given that knowledge is it still wise to even give in to whatever Takagi-san wants? Even if it's him? Haha, okay no "shipteasing" already. On the other hand, we see more interactions between this couple and others, and that's a good thing. Well, it just goes to show the author wants to show their antics had some effect on the surroundings, even if it means deceiving Yukari on them already finding out the trio are tailing them. Still, I would love to see how this goes, because the title of this show didn't say Nishikata is the only victim. Hehe I'm smiling just at the thought of it
This girl looks like she got r*ped and could not tell anyone else lol
P.S. WTF lol when Nishikata tries to act cool it's not btw haha "I can use this!" lolol
P.P.S. YES I LOVE the dubbing segments it gets me every time!! I now believe the girls are voiced by the producers of this show themselves haha
[Oh come on you know this was coming]
からかい回避
(banter evasion)
  • Do not take bets with the hopes of winning
  • In scissors-paper-stone, if someone gives off his/her answer first and you fall for it, do not ask to play again because you'll just lose subsequently
  • Again, do not suggest something to win on when you've just accomplished that feat
  • Do not assume someone would do anything embarrassing unless they have some backup ie. Takagi wouldn't cheat dear Nishikata
  • DO NOT use anything taught in television drama, including Anime
  • Do not try to play tease when you do not feel well. Also, stay at home
  • "Can I even say this? Do not be too kind and help push someone else's bicycle lol"

アニメ Dagashi Kashi 2
I don't know what that means, but I'll let you figure out yourself. Damn you, Anime!!
The new episode (#DagashiKashiS204) gives us no theme songs for some reason. Well, it's because they want to extend the story a bit. Feels like Hotaru is going to leave us, but I mean if you saw the next episode preview that is clearly not the case. Then why? Kokonotsu got an invite from the Endou siblings to join them at the fireworks festival, and he was to pass the message to Hotaru. Missing the last (on time) bus, they had to cycle there. Well, Hotaru on Kokonotsu's bike, to be specific. Then again, many seem to insinuate stuff as much as Kokonotsu would have as he's just a little boy (lol), but hey, can't help but think so too, yes? Of course I don't think so after a while, because this is just good transition to bring in the new characters, for example. So I'll be looking forward to that. Also, the point they make this episode so... interpretive is a little irritating considering this is a comedy show.
Now you WISH you were behind Hotaru right now haha

アニメ Slow Start
"I forgot to put on my skirt" Wow, what an entrance, Kamuri-chan. You blew my mind straight off haha
"Mahou Shoujo" For once I thought this show was that one but it's miko girls? lol Anyways the new episode (#SlowStart05) never stops to give us more jokes such that I can't fill this paragraph with it, but let's get to it, yes? Despite Kamuri's fears of seeing another Eiko about town, it just appears to be a new character, and if it's no surprise to you, it's Eiko's sister Mickey. (It's Miki lol) Admist all the suspicions of the person, and with evidence backed up in photos of Eiko in middle school courtesy of Tama-chan, the girls still thought a double of Eiko might appear in town. And guess what? The sister is even more of a troll. Trying to fake her sister for that one moment and being a "keen learner", she is nothing like her elder sister at all tbh. Add in some stuff from not wearing skirts and the teacher (lol), you get more slice-of-life action. I liked this episode really, despite the emotional moment at the end maybe. No seriously, how is not wearing a skirt a pitch for this show? They don't know guys like me are watching this show- Oh they don't care? Oh well haha
That's so many wrong things in one image I'll leave you to recall haha
P.S. "So it's okay to not wear skirts?" Haha that's a question girls ask themselves every day? THE WORLD NEEDS TO GET AWOKE lol
P.P.S. "But you seem to have gone further away from the meaning of 'convenience'" BOOM SHION GOTCHA HIROE

[Bear in mind the following review below is done separately with respect to the one above]
アニメ Sangatsu no Lion
Man how did that silent intro perfectly describe what happened last episode? lol
The new episode (#3Lion38) brings me tears in many ways than other. Firstly, Souya Meijin. (It's not his real name btw in case you haven't noticed; "Meijin" is just a term for shougi master) So yeah, as the Chairman said literally, he can't hear. (I had to pause a moment there to consider how direct was that statement) So yeah, now it all makes sense - all the cover everyone has been doing for the one deaf guy. The Chairman is there to deal with the media, only people who play with him will know about it during the after-match review, and that's pretty much it. And he's gotten used to it, Souya. I guess that's a bad thing, but considering this is what you get after exchanging your whole life of career on it, I would say that is as glad as is as sad of a reality you can get. Hey, I'd rather be famous and deaf, you know. Secondly, Kawamoto sisters. I mean, it's probably better as a sales pitch and above being a whole lot to just lighten things up, but maybe I'll... get my mom to try that out someday? Haha I know I can't cook. Lastly, Nikaidou. Glad to see him back, brings a tear in my eye which is of happiness than sadness, and hell yeah did he make a comeback. Hey, guess what? If you lie in the hospital long enough you'll think of something legendary lol. All in all, fantastic episode of truths, fun and some awesome news all around. Hey, can't wait to see what happens next. I don't think it'll involve Souya anymore, so... RIP? (Oh it's only his ears?) (Oh he can read this?? Oops)
When your elder goes on and on on the phone until you feel old yourself lol
P.S. For once I thought that part of the episode was Anime Koufuku Graffitti lol even the eating faces are familiar lol thanks Shaft
P.P.S. Man you should've seen that smile on Nikaidou's face. Can't say I didn't miss it even though he's such a friend prick haha
(Once again if I haven't mentioned it here, among all the senses I would like to lose, I'd rather be a mute. Not that I've learnt sign language, but at least people won't hate me for what I say lol. Also, good reference for APoL tbh hehe this is not a hint)

漫画 Nagasarete Airantou
The new chapter (154) talks about Yukino-chan? Hey, in case you don't recall, let me fill you in. Animal lover, youngest cast in the show (I don't know about babies in the island, but), has the hots for the main guy Iku-Iku (in case you need something to refer to lol), and thinks she is now more mature than ever. She takes her approach on Ikuto almost perfectly, distracting Suzu and Misaki (the stepsister) at the same time, and following on his main objective to a far away village. What holds in front of them? Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe for once, Yukino-chan may be of help to Ikuto, I don't know.
This little girl could never have imagined a princess hug hehe
(Also, any lower for this image and I'll be in R18 category)

漫画 Dagashi Kashi
Uh oh. Should've read the manga first. *looks at season 2 episode 4*
The new chapters (106-108, Volume 6 Omake) are... I swear this is not a coincidence, but the guys behind this did say they are trying to catch up with the Anime, so I should have kept watch. Maybe I should delay a week then? Hmm I'll see about it. Then again, it's pretty much the same as the Anime itself, and if you haven't watched or read what's above, I'm going to spoil the shit out of it here. The fireworks display is near, Hotaru confesses to Kokonotsu on her objective to come to this town thus far, and... she's gone. Much to my surprise is the amount of detail put into the Anime episode itself, with the recurring thoughts of Hotaru on Kokonotsu's mind being the most prominent. Differences are perhaps more obviously seen on Sayashi as she is in the manga without a yukata, which I don't know. The Anime probably nailed it for bringing it up a notch. Also, a small plot for when Kokonotsu is waiting for Hotaru's return. And perhaps, it's not happening that soon. But why? And what has this got to do with the new characters? I guess we don't have much longer to find out. But yeah, (if you're like me) watch the Anime first, yes?
Another screen from the episode chapter
(Also, really curious about Hotaru's three sizes tbh how does she maintain that waist??)
P.S. The Omake has a good gum joke. Be sure to read it yourself haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
(I'm aiming to do more of this in the future hopefully; It depends on how coincidental this can be)
VS
Anime "Dagashi Kashi 2"
Opening Theme

Taketatsu Ayana
OH MY Sugar Feeling!!
Anime "Cardcaptor Sakura Clear Card Hen"
Opening Theme

Sakamoto Maaya
CLEAR
Which one was better? Neither of them are on my shelf, so... *laughs*
Okay short one. I thought the Taketatsu Ayana new single will live up to my expectations so I could use that free 10% discount coupon I got in my email for online shopping to use, but yeah, I don't think so. I guess Ayachi singing emotional songs never hit me as much anyways (I'm referring to 2nd album popular song "HIKARI", written by the same person too). Besides, That single two years ago was better tbh. For the Sakamoto Maaya new single? I won't say much. Her previous review in Klassic Note didn't go too well too, and even though they slotted in that old theme song live version that doesn't mean I'll buy it. Here, I said it. On the other hand, GLIM SPANKY new single isn't great anyways, but I liked the topic song so that is in.

Next week... hmm it's not much, but I hope Hanazawa Kana new single will make me happy hehe. Other than that, I know I won't be finding new songs for now, so... man I should, huh. I'm getting lazy. Just like that project. *sigh*




This is it then. I need to enjoy today more so I can suffer tomorrow. Isn't that what life is like? Man, I really to find a job in the future that can tolerate this kind of me. Surprisingly, I don't mind the internship life. Just, not the working hours. Heck, it's long. And travelling time is enough for me to burn out fast. Cya guys next time then, and until then... I hope I will be happier. Considering I want to report to my professor at least once and I have to complete another assignment before the upcoming holiday, I don't think I'll be any happier than I am now. *chokes on phlegm* Bye. *coughs*
