The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #26

Well, that was quite a weekend. When I meant that I mean "I did not take any afternoon naps" lol but really man I could use those to compensate for my work life (click on the link below to read the rest I'm testing something out)

So yeah, been decorating my room a bit with a photo frame and a new photo album with that new shipment I showed you guys recently, so yeah, the next might just happen real fast considering I've not thought of going to Japan just yet. Then again going there to buy isn't cheaper it just cuts off the shipping fee which is shipping me there lmao. Ten-chan looks great with twintails btw hehe

All Anime this season should end this week, and I shall talk about what is in next season, I guess.

アニメ Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san

Aw, Enouji better save that VCR of the last episode of that Anime for both of them haha they still using VCR? *looks at Anime "Kannagi"* "It's a Sony" lmao

You know what's worse than leaving? Leaving without a word, people. In this final episode (#SenkoSan12) of this... fantasy series to be honest, Senko has left Nakano's life. Man, must they end this series on a sad note? Of course not, but you know, we gotta give a plot twist. Nakano hasn't been able to contact Senko-san ever since he went back to his hometown, but yeah it's just because she has to go to the other world to stock up on food lol so... technology doesn't work there. Then again, it probably worried the heck out of Nakano as his burden continues to increase with the fact that his colleague is pestering him again (it really feels like Nakano is the only guy who can tank everything from the boss but every time he's there to answer stuff he's just getting shit on time and again) (Evil cycle, everyone) and that he thinks negatively once again to Senko-san leaving him. Not wrong, to be honest. In the other world, Senko-san is debating with Sora-san on whether she should continue to pamper this guy, as we have known, driven by the fact that it was technically compensation to taking care of the ancestor who saved her life. Hey, it all comes around. So yeah, the ancestor didn't live long, that's for sure, despite Senko-san's care all those years, and Sora is afraid history will just repeat himself with the probably cursed family that Nakano is in. I mean, look at his father haha. Anyways, Senko-san (as expected) is determined to take care of this one guy until it's over I suppose, which will confirm Sora's test on her resolve to see it till the end. Well, if you can't repay it the current generation, do it in the future ones; That's what I always say as a demigod. *laughs* So yeah, Senko-san got let off (not as in got fired), and she came back for the guy. All in all, a simple premise of a series to let you be super envious that Nakano with his screwed up life and a kid fox for a demigod and maid actually exists, and despite my slight reluctance of watching this every week, I still really enjoyed the series. From Anime Anime "Inari Shoujo Yoko-chan" (lol) to Shiro-chan to Senko-san and her tail and so on, there's always something to talk about and love in every episode. The backstory is okay; I doubt this is the dealbreaker for whoever is watching this anwyays, but still. If you like to hear some 800-year-old fox squeals ie. Waki Azumi and don't mind being totally jealous of this one guy because you might have someone you love in your life (unlike me), then yeah, this show is nice to watch. I'll be darned if I don't have to watch the day Nakano will die though haha no season 2 please just don't

Not me when this was happening to Yoko-chan I promise
(The rest of the episode though...)

Not me when this was happening to Yoko-chan I promise
(The rest of the episode though...)

P.S. Just a side note but which is sadder: Yoko-chan last episode or that episode in Attack on Titan where Armin got burnt into a crisp? ARMIN NO lol

アニメ Bungo Stray Dogs

"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" I swear this is NOT a Bananas in Pajamas reference lmao

You know, action show with classical music because they paid the copyright for it and wouldn't mind downsizing their soundtrack production and giving the one composer a break. *laughs* In this final episode (#BungouStrayDogs37) of this series? Hey, don't tell me that's it, please. Also, we need to see the continuation of many things that have started since this episode. Firstly, whatever happened to conclude this arc. Pushkin was chased by the two intruders, but yeah, he got away from them only to (spoiler alert) be found out of his escape route by literally everyone else who isn't in the hideout lol, so he's done for haha. As with Fyodor's sidekick Ivan though, he's one strong opponent. But then again it's two versus one so I doubt his chances of winning will still be high haha. But yeah, they gotta one up the action from the previous season, and hell yeah they did. Akutagawa and Atsushi literally fused their powers together haha. Again, it takes one from each side of the force to come up with something invulnerable, like Dazai and Chuuya. (Talking about Chuuya, where did he go?) (Oh he's still stuck in the book? *laughs*) All in all, awesome fighting, but Dazai still hasn't figured out what happened to Fyodor, as the two intruders did not find him in the mines. So yeah, he had to get some external help. With Francis and his recently picked up patent "Eyes of God" (wow I had to go back to find out what that was tbh I totally forgot he "bought" that surveillance system lol), he was able to expend all his resources to find out where Fyodor is actually at and... allow the government to apprehend him, yeah. Whatever, dude. Just don't let him go, okay? *one guy drops dead* Come on, what did I tell you? Now, for assumptions and predictions. From the top, communication between the bad guys. Yeah, the radio was not a farce or for whatever reason the production loves them, but it's for communication since Fyodor probably already bought the whole radio station down lol sure bro. Then, is Fyodor's Ability himself. I know I got spoiled from the Wiki already but, from here on it will be a mystery, because this is the only instance thus far even in original work that he has shown his Ability, to kill whoever touches him even the slightest. My guess here then would be to refer to the only action show I love (it's "BLEACH" btw) (I know Ivan's Ability resembles some Flame Haze but still) and deduce that Fyodor might also be an illusionist. To be able to move away from the bunker out to a random cafe? You need to fool the whole place in order to escape, to say the least. Distractions throughout are probably also not enough to fool Dazai, I would believe. Which will also explain how he can kill the one guy who touched him, since it's an illusion and he can stab the guy or whatever in return while still standing with his hands up. So yeah, if that's the case then he might be out of jail real soon haha oh well. Lastly, what Akutagawa said to Atsushi. I suppose there is continuation here (hopefully for season 4 ooo I can't wait haha) but suffice it to say that the weretiger wants Akutagawa to not kill people in the next half a year and in turn he gets to kill this guy in six months. This supposedly will let the Port Mafia killer realise what it means to be who he is today, I suppose. It's all flair, I think, but yeah, you think that wil happen? (He just secretly kills dolls in his room like how I secretly masturbate-) We won't know, and among the celebration (Kyouka-chan kawaii haha) and supposed punishment from Fukuzawa which may be done at a later date maybe, we toast a drink to Stray Dogs. Yeah. It sounds too smooth of an ending to give. That's why I'm worried. But I'm sure it'll come back. I just hope that the series break is as short as Akutagawa's kill break so we can watch more action again in half a year. Again, so hyped after every episode I can't even

MVP this season

MVP this season haha no really think about it

P.S. "I have seen what it's like to be axed. Also, cleaning up after is a pain." Wow Kyouka-chan I don't want to know about your work experience lol
P.P.S. To end this off, something that also seriously lacks explanation, is The Guild's agreement with The Rats, or as I would like to call Fyodor's group. Remember the last season where the airship Moby Dick was destroyed and left a chip controlled by Fyodor's gang? Yeah, that. No one explained that, not even Katai. I suppose that's also for another Please do season 4 haha


Ah, I almost forgot.

アニメ Summer 2019 Anime Preview

[With reference to Random Curiosity]

Once again, here are my comments on what I saw from the list for the upcoming season:

• Tejina Senpai [airs 2nd July 2019] is just someone who sucks at magic which would make of a funny premise until you notice the heavy ecchi stuff that is also in it, comparable to shows like Nagasarete Airantou and pretty much every other ecchi show I wouldn't watch. But since this is voiced by Ede-chan (Hondo Kaede) who sounds like Ayachi (Taketatsu Ayana) for some reason now (someone's 2nd choice after Ayachi has to prepare for wedding? lol) and... if this is good on episode one ie. jokes more than ecchi then maybe I'll watch.
• Sounan Desu ka? NO WAY. If "that's what it is", then no. I don't like island survival shows at all haha
• Joshikousei no Mudazukai [airs 5th July 2019] sounds like a really boring slice-of-life show even with a huge cast, to be honest. But... I may just take a look to see if I'll even want to watch it. As long as that idiot is not as dumb as that other infamous one in this blog I will give "WWW.WORKING!!" level Tomacchan (Tomatsu Haruka) and (Toyosaki) Aki-chan any time of the day haha
• Araburu Kisetsu no Otome-domo yo. [airs 5th July 2019] I would actually give if it's good since it starts off with a simple premise, and so long as they make sex jokes "Seitokai Yakuindomo" level but never got into any sort of romance/lesbian stuff this might be the best one this season lol. I may have called it out too early since Mocho (Asakura Momo) is in it lmao no she wasn't the one who said she wants sex haha
• Don't ask if I want to watch Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 2 [airs 7th July 2019] or not. I'm going to get teased by Takagi-san whatever reply I give haha (I just want to tease Takahashi Rie only tbh which is outside of the Anime)

Yeah, that's it. I don't watch those dungeon sequels lol, and I'm most definitely not interested in stuff from another world. The only worlds I'm interested in are fictional real world stuff. Just... fail some magic and talk about sex and I'll be hooked haha

[Update 2019.07.01: Once again, the blog migration is not tonight. I gotta settle the Anime this season first ie. This post so only tomorrow will this place change (or not becaus e as I said you won't feel the difference)]

アニメ Shingeki no Kyojin Season 3 Part.2

"Next time, write us an article on how impressive the Scouts are will do" Haha Levi you smart ass on the other hand they'll need it

Man, now I want Erwin to slap you in the f**king face you bloody recruit what the f**k do you know. *laughs* (That idiot knows Erwin rejected the shot?) In this final episode (#AttackOnTitan59) of the season, it brings us one important question: why did Erwin not take the shot FUCK YOU MILITARY PEASANTS haha anyways it's "what should we do now we know of the truth" to be honest. After Eren knew of the deepest of truths, the Scouts at the height of war were honoured with medals, which of course, comes to the displeasement of the rest of the military since... well, they don't know of the truth, for starters. Add in that one noob that survived the war, staying by Erwin the commander till the end, it's no wonder he thinks he's the hero and should be saved. Heroes shouldn't be saved, you idiot. On the other hand, it's not about agreement or anything, but with Eren's whole knowledge of the situation (as we do too, being the audience) he asked himself the ultimate question of this series, on what to do next. Fighting is an option, but if we think about this pragmatically the Eldians here won't stand a chance to the regime that is on the other island, for sure. Then how? Allow themselves to be eradicated even as Zeke goes back to report to the other humans who will then plot their next move to the now shrinking race who knows of the truth? So yeah, it is quite a conundrum already, to say the least. Add in that the people within the Walls got to enjoy a period of peace even after knowing of the truth, and the Scouts being able to explore beyond the walls and not be killed by a bunch of Titans straight on... everything Eren saw in his connecting dreams with the other Titans was revealed in front of their eyes. The Paradise exists to send fellow trapped Eldians who misbehave to the Walls, and the main trio finally got to see the sea. But especially with Eren, he is scared. Scared of the truth. Mostly also because blame was upon them, and they are setting out to...? I mean, if you ask me fighting definitely sounds fun, but they are not going to win against technology and a minigun probably lmao. But considering Titans were the best they can send to the Walls to "fight", I doubt they have progressed much. Many of these would be answered in - I assume, and I hope you have seen it - the final season which will air next year, and I can't wait for an awesome conclusion. I must say, this series has thus far presented itself to be surprising in terms of backstory, and I'm still rather glad it took this long to build it up. All in all, it's filled with action, mostly despair, but as we continue to see hope, we also continue to be aware of the dangers these guys would be in, and I am expecting a sad ending to conclude this series we all enjoyed. Prove me wrong, Anime, and we shall see how this goes on the real war between human races next year. *clenches fist on chest*

When everyone is psyched about the new bubble tea flavour but I don't

MFW I get to touch a maiden's hand lmao

P.S. To be honest, if there are people who will still doubt on the reality, then clearly they do not know of everything. I mean, not that we should show the dreams Eren saw, but still.
[I wanted to end this on a light note so... sorry for the joking thumbnails haha]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Another week, another week of nothing here in Klassic Note though, to be honest. I'm still catching up on a lot of stuff so I haven't been listening to new songs whatsoever. But hey, maybe I should go listen to new songs. Talking about those, I might give a listen to Earphones' new single next week (yeah) and will probably my first since their debut year back in 2015. They will be surprised they can't wait for me to give them money haha we shall see

On news in Twitter and everywhere else if social media isn't their thing, Kawano Marina is getting a new single soon, Minase Inori is getting new single for an Anime airing next year wtf, because Minase Inori's music video collection released this week the one CM song is available as download and streaming media, miwa is getting a new song drama tie-in, and fumika is releasing a new digital single next week. Maybe I'll take a listen to that.




So yeah, that's it. With regards to the site migration though, it'll happen tomorrow after I update this post on Attack on Titan's last episode this season (season 3 part.2 btw haha) and THEN it'll happen. The final post will be published (which will also appear on the new site btw) on this current one you are seeing (and not if you see this on 2nd July 2019 and beyond) and then depending on how successful I can backup this place I may or may not be able to restore it on time coming Tuesday which will be the day I started this blog, 5 years ago. Yeah. Hype if you must, but I gotta prepare mote testing and putting forward some changes to clean up a little before this thing will work smoothly tomorrow night hopefully. Cya guys then, and until next time... gotta love that new photo frame on my desk haha I couldn't think of what to put there so I thought I could re-use my scanned images. Ten-chan looks great on it tbh hehe bye

The Auction House Journey Part Deux: The Recovery Package

With respect to the last post, yes I won the lottery haha no you idiot I just thought spending money and waiting for them to reach me through international shipping feels great and keeps my adrenaline going at work. Guess who's the idiot now. Capitalism, everyone. Ugh, I feel so dumb and happy now...

So welcome. To my greatest regret this month lol (there are a lot this month, this just happens to be the last) but also, I kinda spoiled myself by opening it yesterday, so... I'll make this short haha




WHY CALL IT "RECOVERY"?
It's because of this.

(*As of 2019.06.27)

My personal Google Photos account. Yes, it does not contain my face but images of girls I like. Don't ask any further. *laughs*

It was based on this because it lists - in descending order - the number of images I have placed as my wallpaper. Through the power of face recognition (thanks Google!) and the occasional addition of some wonderful images from people at the bottom of the list, I decided to set out to balance things out. Which is why it's called "recovery" because I want to bring people like Ookubo Rumi up. Images of her online isn't a lot, to be frank.

Of course, it's not only based on this as this was after some thought and I noticed it was to little to just consider those at the bottom of the list even lmao. (That's why Tomacchan is in this) I also wanted to get more of those who hardly ever appear on social media and as a consequence is related to the above too (and thus hardly will ever appear on my phone as wallpaper) so like TrySail girls, Touyama Nao (probably still won't after this one maybe), Kouno Marika and even Minase Inori considering her images on twitter are getting smaller lol, so yeah. So much motivation to buy as much as I want haha


WHAT IS DIFFERENT
In comparison to the first time I did this, many similarities remain. It's from that one store called Buyee again through that one auction site called Yahoo Auction again, I still spent a lot on money on shipping, but what is different I can talk about. Firstly, as you will see below, damages on the goods are minimal or even negligible. The first time I may have made it sound great, but on close inspection some of them even have coffee stains (dammit why on Aki-chan) so yeah, this one does not have any of those. I guess it's maybe because some of them are never opened before, especially some where it's special gifts for magazines and their previous owner only liked the book and not the free stuff, so they just sell it online and recuperate their losses, I would assume. And then, it was more than last time. I would argue that it's at least twice as much stuff as the first time, so yeah, I'm a mad man. Lastly, I focused on getting more out of my money. You probably can see in the list from the first run, but there are a lot more of auctioned items in bulk (indicative as numbers in all the Japanese text, like set of 2 or 3 or 5) and that saves you money because technically you're paying the same service fee as the one photo which is also a single auctioned item. So... I have saved money on this? *laughs*

The online receipt taken at date of this post

To add on, because auction consolidation is about taking all those who sent in in as good of a condition as possible, some chose to package them real badly so it became quite a waste as a large package but not as large as the first run considering this one contained more stuff. Both orders also contained A4 clear files so that wasted a lot of space, and more importantly in this, packaging here is on average more wasteful. I mean, look at this.

That was what was in this envelope, no joke

(For more details on finance, I will talk about this in a future post where I talk about collecting stuff in the past, present and future) (Publish date TBA haha)


THE PACKAGE

That was... 12 separate orders (on left Tomacchan's clear file is coupled with the bromide photo second from bottom left) with 4 auctions featuring more than 1 item besides the clear file one. Marinka was shown above, and the others are the rightmost three which can be seen below.

Don't tell me which one you like, because I liked all of them. If you need a most disappointing one because you hate me, the one with Rumi-chan in white probably haha. But no, I liked all of them. Also, don't be envious of me. I have to buy a new photo album to store all these in now lol I used to use a detachable one but the downside is that it can stick on to the photo so I decided to give that up. I'll probably buy multiple small ones because then I can categorise them all. Heck, with this package it's going to be 100+ of them now.

Again, I do get some of these bromides for free but sometimes you don't, and this is the only way to get them. Illegally. MUAHAHAHAHAHA




That will be it then. I'm not going to promise things like last time whether I would do this again, but hey if I have spare cash I'll make sure it's spent lmao. Or maybe I'll fly to Japan next time to buy these like how my friend bought some for me when he was there. Hmm... it's going to be different as far as I know but then now that I think about it I shall make sure that happens haha. Oh, feel free to zoom in to see the any of the images. I'm going to have to spend an afternoon over the weekend standing by the scanner at home haha (too bad I can only do it when my dad takes his afternoon nap hehe) (ah dammit I have to also buy photo albums AND also get the blog migration done??)

P.S. Okay Ten-chan's set of 3 is the best here haha and my imouto can be second hehe (she's right smack in the middle btw pure coincidence)

P.P.S. Yes, Fujita Akane was in this. She never appeared in my Google Photos list but with this... I like your photoshopped self, Akane-chan hehe

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #25 - Manga Extra

I told you I'll be back for another one of these.

So yeah, I'm back for one of these, and yes, I've decided to do these at my own pace. Coming up will be a larger series than this and that one will need some tracing in terms of which chapter did I leave off from when I last read online a year ago, but this one is easy. It's Kawai Makoto-sensei's latest work which recently concluded, and is titled "This love is illegal." just for international audience, even though we know that is not the REAL title haha let's talk about it


WHAT AND WHY

What, should be obvious from above title. "Amaetai no Hi wa Soba ni Ite." is a story about living in a world with androids. You know, not those that power the majority of smartphones (okay joke's over lol), but those beings which are engineered to behave like humans, living with humans. Among them is android Hinageshi (female btw) serving solo-living-away-from-home newbie author Kaede (male btw) and here's a secret: the android likes the human. In many ways than other, that is illegal (thus the alternative title) and the android will be wiped off its memories if discovered being involved in any sort of romance with a human, even infatuation, I guess. So yeah, don't guess what happened. I'll talk about the final Volume 3 right here, right now! Yeah, prepare for spoilers, by the way.

漫画 Amaetai no Hi wa Soba ni Ite.

To give a good summary of this series, Volume 1 gave us the happy days, Volume 2 gave us a warning, and Volume 3 gave us realisation and confrontation. Firstly, Hinageshi was living a great life with Kaede, the one guy who possibly has no feelings whatsoever to the android, is being well taken care of by her, to say the least. And they say she is bad at everything according to her qualification tests. That aside, she notices her love for the man is growing, and so did Kaede's social circle, from his childhood friend and crush Azuki to his manager and editor Tsukushi to Azuki's friend Momo... all of them had their troubles and joys with android. Then, came in the declaration from a letter sent to her house: she has been discovered to have romantic feelings for a human. Hinageshi at this point can either (1) sign the statement which will probably get her arrested but more importantly get her abolished on her current job, or (2) bear the consequences which is the, you know, wipe memory thing. Confronted also by the one who reported her, Karin - an android herself - decides to convince her to do so as not doing so will eventually reach a bad ending. You know, the time where the authorities get to you and everyone is going to cry. Better to start early, yes? But no, it's more than that. Azuki and Momo both know such is not a statement for freedom to love, as with many questions, consider the ethicality in romance between androids and humans. This became a huge impact at the end of Volume 2 after what seems to be a kid winning an award in the novel author awards which Kaede attended and the manager shocked to see what she saw: the android she praised of her skills when she was a kid.

Things get real escalated in the final volume (as with all final volumes) as the resolution of Hinageshi's fate is shown in two prime examples: What happens after an android is wiped off its memories, and what happens when you have to get wiped, and in the process too. Firstly, the manager Tsukushi recalls her past with Tanpopo the android (probably a reference to the character popular with kids the dandelion) as she praised on her work and thinks she can do it big and popular with her creativity. The thing is, she will not be recognised due to the current discrimination of androids as servants instead of free thinkers. And also, due to inevitably violating the love rule as Tanpopo slowly opens up to Tsukushi, ends up being dealt with and yes, today her can barely remember what happened. The thing seems to be, that once an android gets wiped, their memories disappear of course, but their will and personality still remain, so the urge to still do something is still there, to say the least. Today, she is led by a human owner who is "releasing novels" under her own name to prevent the android from being ostracised, but hey, look what happened to her. Tanpopo can barely remember anything, although she can still remember the passion that will continue to drive her to write. Good on you man, sucks to be Tsukushi though. Her childhood memories washed away as fast as yours. Next up, Karin gets her own taste of reality. She was arrested by the authorities not because of her current human owner, but because of what she did in the past. She might be the stereotypical case where human loves android (and probably vice versa) and the human suggests for them to elope and so on, even pursued by authorities. Karin did take the advice, but also wises up to notice that this will do both of them no good (we'll see this feeling come back later) so Karin decides to leave the human behind and start anew. Too bad you can't escape the eyes of the law, for the human probably covered for her for the longest time available while she escapes to stay under another shelter, now has to admit all she has done before she gets wiped off her memories. This time, it's not a joke. Momo was saddened without words, and we know who will be up next.

Hinageshi was up next not because the government knew about her infatuation, no, but Karin submitted her case to the authorities, so... thanks for not ratting her out during your interview, you idiot. Anyways, it was an eventuality, so Hinageshi moved away from her temporary owner Momo to go back to her old place to meet up with Kaede once again. They confess their feelings for each other, and all is well. That is, until the van pulls up at their doorstep. Kaede was unable to do anything despite saying he will do anything to stop her from being arrested, and Hinageshi felt that implicating the human will do none of them good (reference above), so she left without a struggle, promising to come back someday. That day... might not even happen. However, when she confessed and was being readied to be zapped off her memories... [SPOILER ALERT AHEAD] the machine did not work. She did not get wiped off her memories. Many were confused as to what happened, but despite the many attempts, she can still remember why she cried before she was put under the bed. Many say this might be a miracle due to her strong bonds and relationships with the people around her, but maybe this is a good exception. This spurred plenty of argument as to the fate of Hinageshi as Kaede tries to release a book talking about such a reality, the little knowledge he possesses. And for the next decade (geez) experiments were done on her (had to make this joke, but they didn't consider sex an option? lol) (you know, the never-ending orgasm kind haha) until eventually, 12 years after being arrested by the authorities, she was released. Yeah. They gave up, literally. I mean, what are you going to do about it? So yeah, they can't stop her now, as she recovers and finds back the time she had with Kaede, now already 12 years older in his late 20s, has been waiting for her patiently to return. Aw, Makoto-sensei, at least you didn't let me down by wiping her off, good on you.

All in all, a wonderful series to read. The dialogues may be long since it wasn't translated so I had a hard time reading it but also, it's important to convey the feelings of all the characters since this isn't an action show, so I'll forgive that. The artwork is fantastic, it's the very reason why I'm into Makoto-sensei's works after Anime "Koufuku Graffiti". Now years in after missing her first artbook from a year ago, I show her my support by reading her latest work which probably won't gain much attention as much as I would like, but this was a lovely story. Maybe compare this to Senko-san, but sadder and better plot twist haha. Finally, I like this series, Makoto-sensei, I wished this was translated to give your work full justice, but I think I'll just read this again and again to improve my vocabulary and also appreciate your artwork. Everyone in this story is so beautiful, I now truly regret not buying your artbook back then.


THE PACKAGE

I'll keep this short since whatever is above is really long already (sorry for that tbh), but yeah, because I missed the first two so I won't comment, for the last volume I chose to get one of the special gifts which - honestly it's my own fetish - is a special illustration of the characters in glasses. Yeah, thanks Makoto-sensei. I feel satisfied looking at Hinageshi with glasses already. Also, Azuki-chan in glasses? Man, why isn't she my childhood friend haha

So yeah, that will be it. I don't really intend to go all the way and explain the first two volumes (this is quite a short story btw) (maybe make this into an Anime movie someday?) and I think I did mention this story before here (this way please) so I guess I won't talk more about it then. This is just a closure to an interesting read I'd like to share, and maybe images will appear for the main part eventually, then maybe I'll revise this post again. But until then, I wish more could read this story as much as androids probably is a topic of discussion in the fictional world for many works, but still. If written differently everything will feel unique, at least to me. Ok bye

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #25

If you noticed a bunch of posts recently and maybe later, do not be surprised because those packages, they comin' haha

So yeah, you should've noticed but I'll mention it later, I did a Klassic Note Review yesterday which should be done on Friday but the postman came at a wrong time so I had to go take it myself the next morning.

Another week of entertainment, another week of awesome content, to say the least. I don't know what is in store for next season yet because I'm waiting for that season preview, so if you want to be patient with me I'll talk about it next week hopefully. Let's talk about two shows which ended this week.

アニメ Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san

"Today is going to be rough" I mean, as long as it's not Nakano getting fired we're good haha

Hey Nakano, like really, consider a career change yet? *laughs* Ah then again it's probably not easy to get a job in Japan so I won't say too much. In this new episode (#SenkoSan11) the omen is arriving. No, not meteor strikes, but yeah, something bad is about to happen, it seems. Firstly, Nakano gets drunk. Haha, not the bad thing we're going to talk about though, because the one guy had a great time drinking at his own place, so that's probably good. What's not good is that, despite all this petting from Senko-san it still seems that Nakano's worries aren't relieved anytime soon. Huh. I guess that's how modern society works now. All this pampering won't work anymore haha hmm is that so. Anyways, that is least of his worries because next up, he got complained by the boss for not spending his paid leave. Hey, same here, and I must say MC is also paid leave so why not take more lol (I don't btw so you do you), but yeah, even this he can get reprimanded on. On a personal standpoint I hate the company he works for haha. But yeah, many things can happen since he has the time off too. Sadly, it's about the father. Is it what... Sora-san (I just forgot her name lol) that demigod told him spot-on? Maybe, but yeah, it's not that bad. But yeah, since he has the time now he chose to go back hometown to see the family too, as much as he would like to spend time with Senko-san to go walk supermarkets. (Haha do your parents know there's a fox living at your place? lol) On the other hand, I wouldn't say this is a bad thing, but Senko-san is leaving. Why though? We will know soon enough probably. I wouldn't argue it's leaving though, but she may have to go somewhere else. Somewhere, she cannot bring Nakano's phone with her. Hey, I don't suppose she is reporting to some superior though 'cos for some hierachy of a business she isn't in that is just sad if she has to do that haha. I doubt Sora-san wants her back this fast, but it has already been a year, Nakano is still as sad as he is coping with his work life outside of town, so... exactly what went wrong? We might be able to get that answer soon though, as next week we shall see what surprises will make this show even worth recommending haha like seriously I'm not that interested in looking at a man enjoying himself I want it to be me! lmao

Happiness is...

This is the kind of stereotypical Anime flashback where they don't tell you what it means and it'll always remain a mystery dammit (God moves in mysterious ways, I guess)

P.S. Thank goodness they put in the age warning to tell us Senko-san's age is above legal instead of letting you think she is underage haha this show man
P.P.S. If you need some vocabulary learning so you can learn with me, the banner of Senko-san Iyazaka is referred to as noren and chikuzenni is... something to eat haha I promise

アニメ Bungo Stray Dogs Season 3

So Fukuzawa is better than Gin? *laughs* No sir don't kill my imouto- Okay at least, Akutagawa's imouto lol

And that is what happens with information technology, Mori Ougai. Gather too much and people will want to kill you for it. Well, it's mostly court cases nowadays, but the similarity is too real tbh. In this new episode (#BungouStrayDogs36) we get to see more fighting!!! HELL YEAH pure power vs Elise-chan I've been waiting for this since I was born- Oh no, that's it? FLASHBACK!! Haha yes, we go back 12 years ago to see what the two leaders look like back then. With respect to that, we are introduced to a new character who will be pivotal to playing this game of chess, and it looks like the tables can be easily turned apparently, so that's good. Firstly, what happened back then. Mori Ougai was an underground world doctor as we have known, and Fukuzawa is a top rated assassin from the government. He's so good, you can't even see him kill. But under someone's orders, Fukuzawa was to help out Mori Ougai so he gets protected from underworld threats. Why though? Because it was part of a plan. A plan to protect this city they all loved. And thus, cue the Detective Agency's cat and former Ability user retiree and the real badass, Natsume Souseki. This guy, man. You don't know how long I have to wait for this reveal, because clearly these two are just dogs to someone higher haha. Anyways, the plan was to allow the government to oversee the day, Port Mafia to oversee the night, and the Detective Agency to see in between, for the protection of this city called Yokohama. So far so good I suppose, but Mori isn't wrong in that the twilight part isn't exactly necessary, although it wasn't further explained because the cat got angry haha. So yeah, he told his two underlings (haha) to wise up and fight back since by now Fyodor is just waiting for these two to die, stuck under his bunker (as expected) so he won't accidentally get killed in this lol. Anyways, counterattack. Atsushi and Akutagawa took on the task (it was Dazai haha) to infiltrate the enemy territory filled with all the traps even Dazai would be proud of lol, but yeah, those two idiots got to go in first. Well, it was quite smooth in progression until they all noticed the one guy Akutagawa threatened to kill was the virus Ability user! Man, talking about plot twists. This show is amazing, man. Giving us treats in every corner. However this also means it may just be the beginning because Akutagawa is hit by a virus, and Atsushi is probably the only one who will be able to stop the Ability user. Then again, in agitation much could screw up, so I'm going to hold my breath until next week. Man, no action show has ever made me this interested since... well quite some time, I believe. Here's to a awesome ending for this season, to say the least. Is this the end of the seires, though? I hope not. This city is so much fun, it'll be sad to see it die.

Didn't realise badass looked like this until this episode

Okay this is pretty badass too haha "she can stick it in me anytime" hehe

P.S. Man, I wanted to put it in the review above, but suffice it to say the progression in this episode is too much I'm still recollecting myself, so if it sounds vague go watch it yourself you won't be disappointed

アニメ Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai

"It's a symbol of courtship you do over and over" Well it's also one of the things you do at a one night stand, so... Haha fidelity is an issue Miyabi

"She is crying" "There are many moments like this in youth" Wow wtf mom?? Is this how you teach your kid? Lol in this new, final episode (#AoChan12) of this wonderful wonder of a series (definite opening theme reference if you didn't notice), they kissed. It's about the kiss. (That was "kizu" btw) Yep, what a way to end the series, but yep, they gotta. So yeah, it starts with Miyabi asking if the two of them kissed, and it immediately went from wonder to like, depravity as Ao-chan somewhat desperately wants to do it with Kijima. Kissing, I mean. *laughs* And so yeah, they did. It's just who breaks the rules first, right? I mean, there are many things to break afterwards, but still. *laughs* Kijima is good at kissing because (lol) he practised it with a pillow (so... how do you do that? haha) and Ao-chan is good because... as Kijima said, is probably just because of the passion of doing it with the person she likes. Hey, it all sounds wrong, but only one thing is right: Ao-chan is in love. I mean, look at her exam results. *laughs* All in all, a lovely series that talks dirty the way Seitokai Yakuindomo does it, but give it a little more romance background so that someone here can get laid haha. So yeah, congrats Ao-chan for losing in life but gaining in relationships haha you're going to need both soon though so I don't know how you're not going to live up to the reputation of this series lol. Anyways, nice show to watch although it might be too short, but I laughed every episode (serious dad low pitch voice is the best imo) (second is everything that comes out of Waki Azumi's mouth) (including my semen haha what) and it was real entertaining to watch. Then again, Ao-chan really thinks too much, and has little to no experience in any of this (I guess reading books from the father wouldn't help much) (okay maybe it worked for Miyabi I don't know), which makes her the perfect girl to be in such a story. So yeah, congrats to Kaji Yuki and Taketatsu Ayana on getting married to each other (yep sadded), since it probably started with something as awkward as this? Hoho don't quote me on it I don't know Ao-chan OR Ayachi that well haha

Didn't realise I want to be Ao-chan herself until now haha

Didn't realise I want to be Ao-chan herself until now haha

P.S. "Obsession is poison to the body" Haha I wish I can watch this series with such ease
P.P.S. "Those things did a thing on my thing!" Man, how wrong is that, eh? *laughs*
[OMAKE!!! Because I feel that showing you Ao-chan's body is not giving the end of this series justice]

HELL YEAH haha I want to search porno of this series now lol

アニメ Joshikausei

The only time she spoke. You pieces of sh*t how long did that take to happen?? *laughs* In this final episode (#Joshikausei12) of this series we can break all rules and have the one girl talk now? Okay you are forgiven, Anime. Haha anyways, this is the most normal episode of all, I would say. Not like I remember much of what happened for the last 11 episodes, but it sure was a ride, and for everything lovely in a high school girls' life this might be the most appropriate ending. The theme this episode, is going home from school. Simple enough, and there's plenty for us to look at and wonder. Hey, if you're still enjoying your school days buying food from the convenience store, riding on bicycles and even sharing food with your friends, good on you. If not, we can but look. *laughs* Sounds sad, but you don't get to do this every time. Not unless you have friends. (BOOM got me) And that's what I think even the original work author is trying to depict, and that's actually quite lovely, in a sense. All in all, it was fun watching this series even though obviously, 3 minutes an episode is way too short. But then again, hearing the cries, laughs and even just the soothing music makes this show a wonder to behold. If this is what every Anime sounds like muted on dialogue, I'm glad this is the only show that can do it. Oh well they broke the rule by putting one at the end so whatever haha. As a final note, Tachibana Rika-sama, you're the best haha you may never go back to those days but still lol

That is called "te ga todokanai"

That is called "jitensha ni nore"

(*Proudly brought to you by the "Klassic Note Japanese Lesson" series sponsored by Jisho.org)

P.S. Tachibana Rika is a Showa Era born kid btw just so you know haha
P.P.S. Now that I think about it: Is this show about a curse which haunts all students such that they cannot speak as long as they are in school? Haha I may be thinking too much

[Update 2019.06.24: If not for me missing another package I would probably be busy reviewing that now but no I have to finish this haha]

アニメ Attack on Titan Season 3 Part.2

"Anyone can be the god or the devil. All it takes is for people to believe it."

"It was meant as a deterrence, and we will enjoy peace till the day we get found out and die" Oh dear King you dumb idiot haha. In this new episode (#AttackOnTitan58) Eren thinks he can make noise and talk to himself without people around him thinking he knows the truth. What an idiot, this guy, through and through haha. Anyways, the story thus far. We know that the history is as weird as it can be, with Titans ruling the world and doing good and/or bad to some extent, until the humans decided to take control. Yeah that can be quite a problem, because these somewhat Nazist people are just killing the Eldian race away slowly but surely, which makes many have to retaliate, even if it means infiltrating the army and spying and killing their own people in order to keep up the illusion. Cue The Owl, probably an ancestor of Eren himself, who possess the Titan we now finally know the name of - The Attacking Titan. Hey, are we done now? This is the last episode? Haha moving on, he saved or more brutely, left Grisha the only survivor to when the resistance were discovered by the humans thanks to the son Zeke (what an- oh I shit on him last episode already?) so to task him with one last thing to do - find the Founding Titan. What is special about this Titan is, it's what that links the thoughts and memories of the other 9 Titans together. If Mikasa and Armin didn't blow your mind as Eren's ancestor blurted it out, you've got another thing coming. So yeah, Eren is in deep thought, through his dreams, considering the possibilities of activating the Founding Titan powers, if possible. What will happen to everyone around, the sub 200+ people who actually know the truth within the walls, we don't know. According to next episode, they may have to take a break, but seeing that from two seasons ago that it's a war against humans from the rest of the continent to say the least (Hange I may have to correct you there), so yeah, maybe we get to see the ocean before Eren dies in 7 years and Armin dies in 13? Oh man, these Eldians were just the victims of the one curse of the devil, isn't it? Poor thing, to be honest. On the other hand, I'm glad once again, the author has made great effort to make this storytelling convincing, and that it remains to be seen on what will really happen in the near future. . (Although one must wonder: if those humans took care of Titans back then in the war then aren't they better than the Scouts? Uh oh.)

This position is so cliche...

...Hange-san gets MVP this episode haha

P.S. "Have you no balls?" Man, got him with those ball jokes in the medieval times lol
P.P.S. Yes the panel was so that the Anime director can sit down with all the staff and cast to determine future seasons of this series lmao Kaji Yuki stop interrupting the meeting we know you're getting married to Ayachi lol

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week is a very quiet week in Klassic Note. Well, it was going to be a quiet week, so I took some effort to go back to listen to a couple of artists I've heard recently and try to give songs if possible. amatsuuni's indie releases aren't that interesting so I'm glad she got her major label debut haha, Spira Spica is more interesting than I thought so I might be giving another song we shall see, and cinema staff's indie album is... I guess it still sounds like them after all these years, but it's more rough. Pretty obvious considering I've heard a lot of indie rock bands. Not going to talk about SPYAIR's new singles, not going to talk about sphere's new single since it isn't available yet. I continued to give songs from Yuuki Aoi's new album (I had the mood now, and that is awesome) and Middle Kids' new mini-album if you heard of them yes they are English (Australian to be exact) and they are real great just avoid the religious stuff in the lyrics, yes?

Next week? Still nothing. But I'll find something to listen. I know a couple of sites that'll lead me to new songs haha. On the news on Twitter, the only thing that probably caught my attention (besides the marriage between Kaji Yuki and Taketatsu Ayana which is technically not Klassic Note news) (it's just sad news to me personally lol) is the downtime in SCANDAL's YouTube channel. Don't ask me what happened because I... don't care. *laughs*




That's it I guess. As mentioned above, the next few weeks may be real lack of music so I shall go some exploring or take a break for now. I'm probably past my quota for the year so I could use a rest. On other things, I didn't have time to do it but I will have to rush through next week, but yes this blog is getting a revamp. Good news is, nothing will happen to you in any way as it'll look EXACTLY the same (not a joke) as you see it probably after the next Entertainment News post. I just need to do this so that I can reset the image gallery that is in each Blogger site because searching through the images is a pain. Maybe I'll do this on a yearly basis considering the amount of content I post every year, but that'll have to wait. For now, this blog will reach 5 years soon, I have a rough plan to make this work seamlessly, so when it happens maybe I'll update on it. And then maybe I'll update on the rest of the pages if I have the time. Maybe now's the time to use some of my paid leave huh, Nakano? *laughs* Cya later as I'll do another Manga Extra, if you would remember, since Tonari no Kashiwagi-san on probably my first purchase of a Japanese manga, without translations. Until then.

The Klassic Note Review 2019.06 Issue 1

Well well, look what we have here.

You know, because I haven't been giving releases this long, I figured that two will be better than one. Also, is this a seasonal thing? If so, expect some new reviews this coming September haha seriously the release schedule for the next month is pathetic haha

Hey, you guys know what you're here for, and this time around the theme seems to be love songs. So yeah, unexpectedly good love songs that you probably don't know of. Both from Anime, one of them I watched, but all four songs have lovely lyrics. Let's look into them.

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

amatsuuni - silent days [Single]

First Press Limited Edition

Regular Edition

(Thanks for the close-up, but what's with the cones though? Even my friend thinks it's weird)

Origin: Hey, you may not know of her, but considering this newbie just had a major debut single (from not really a large music label) and an Anime tie-in (for a show that's literally 3 minutes) this isn't all bad. First impressions were bad here in Klassic Note though, so I'll leave this storytelling for later. According to her profile, she's real young, she's new, she got attention from social media which seems to be a thing for singers these days, and got taken in to sing more songs (hopefully) for Anime in the near future. Specifically, her voice reminds me a lot of ORESAMA's singer PON-chan, and you can hear it throughout when she pushes her voice to the limit. But she is cuter, because just look at her personal Instagram account. All in all, she's attractive, can sing, Anime theme song... easy way to grab attention in all aspects you can think of, and that's why we are here.

(1) silent days
From last chorus pre-verse:

"It's okay if it is not forever

It does not require speal words

(I) just want to say "see you tomorrow" today"

I feel that the title is real misleading just so to blend in with the mood of the Anime, but for Anime "Joshikausisei" theme song which is so short it can only have one song and the whole thing is basically without dialogue (sound effects and noises still in, just no talk) the title of the song just speaks for itself, basically. But yeah, it's more than that. As seen from the lryics both written by yours truly, it's more than just silent. Well, it feels like it, the maiden in love, but yeah, her heart is screaming from within is probably what it feels like, to say the least. As the whole single is composed by the one guy, the theme of the song is meant to be light-hearted, the lyrics are supposed ot tell a story (not related to the Anime by the way), and overall it is real good. Initial impressions aren't good since even thus far I was only heard a preview of it from the Anime which lasts for like 30 seconds that had a cut down chorus, which specifically shortened the last line, making this feel like those extra bits they add into the melody to avoid copyright infringement. I think I mentioned this before, but then hearing the whole song now I think the melody itself is easy to get used to. It has an adequate bridge, the melody is catchy... it's your better than average Anime theme song, and you don't get those all the time.
Rating: 4 stars (Above Anime Average)

(2) Haru to Usotsuki [Spring and (A) Liar]
From first chorus:

"Sakura (petals) sway and sway, (I) urge to meet (you)

Really, (you) should have noticed (it) already

Good bye, waving with a smile (in your face), (you) liar

Talking to myself, (I) mutter the words "in love""

This is a love song. No surprise, it's what brought me to give the review in the first place. The melody is simple and it caught me immediately, probably faster than I can get used to the chorus. It may be the wrong season to talk about Spring, but the lyrics itself has some deep meaning I can share with you guys. The feels I got from this song is definitely meeting up in a sakura blossomed area in that time of the year, and hoping to do so again, obviously, with the person you like. It must be a great Spring, to say the least, but that liar portion feels like getting friendzoned as much as (the girl) she wants to confess her love for the one she probably spent many days with. Will it ever happen again? I mean, if it's in the song I'll tell you, so yeah, she can only say it to herself, poor girl. Is this what it feels to not get the love you want? Then again, as much as this song as much meaning in its lyrics, the melody as you hear, is simple enough as it's catchy right from the chorus and making me like this song more than I would like to. But hey, she did it, which is impressive. The composer kindly also shortened the bridge so I won't have any way to complain on this song whatsoever, to be honest.
Rating: 4 stars (Nicely Average)

Conclusion: A really good single that might easily get washed away in the music industry, and I wished more people would have heard of how great amatsuuni sounds (as much as it feels similar to ORESAMA's singer without the electric pops) so I would say please give this a listen. Whether you have given the Anime or not, this single is really good. I want to give better, but we know of its flaws. Otherwise the lyrics make you feel you want to be in love, and I think to say the least, it was a well done single.

P.S. "To tear up in pink" That's when she just got her first period lmao (hey I can make these lyric jokes now haha I'll have to translate it to you guys though)



Now that we're done with newbies, let's talk about lovelies! Is that how this works? No? I can't be lyricist? lol MOCHOOOO~~!!

音楽 The Klassic Note Review

Asakura Momo - Smash Drop [Single]

First Press Limited Edition

Regular Edition

Anime Limited Edition

(Close-ups for the win!! That much of make-up though... Well it was for the theme so I guess this is resonable)

Origin: We should be rather familiar with Asakura Momo ("Mocho" from here on) - a MusicRay'n "Super Idol Seiyuu" (I'm not joking look it up), member of idol group TrySail, lovely Anime voice actresses especially for kids shows if she ever gets more roles, and a total dork. That last one, we all wish we will see more, but this far, it's all the moe-ness you can get from this blur-headed treasure who just walked herself into the entertainment industry. A couple of years in already, and she is on her (goddamn) 6th single and her 2nd Anime tie-in (her 3rd is in an upcoming single, mind you) she is on a roll, to say the least. Thanks to her talent company and production, this one is just a simple single to give I would say, but it wasn't without struggles. I only gave this 3 weeks after its release date, which means I really got thrown off by the topic song and only after the peak season of release did I come back to re-visit, and eventually give this the thumbs up. Let's talk about love, Mocho.

(1) Smash Drop
From first chorus:

"I want you to smile more

It's a simple yet deep wish

Can it really be fulfilled?

By (your) side, not

To unlock the future, bright and shining

It will always me who is giving (to you)"

In case you think this song is about action, you're not wrong, but it's definitely not about fighting. It's a love song, surprise surprise, and I would argue Mocho is really good at this already, so this just takes it to another level, I would argue. The first turn-off you should have noticed for me mentioning about music genres, is over-emphasis of beats. Especially dance and electronic tunes. So this one took it all out and placed it right in front of my face, which really set off a bad impression. The good side is that the melody is actually not bad, as much as it is rather obvious sometimes it's to facilitate the insertion of lyrics (middle of chorus, for example), but otherwise, I can give sub-par a thumbs up. The melody barely passed, to be honest. The lyrics though, is a different story. It's positivity all around, as Mocho sings to make this song so happy, I was smiling all the time singing along with the lyrics. All in all, the lyrics are sweet and lovely, the melody is passable, so sure I'll give it.
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) Shuukurimu [Cream Puff]

""Is this happiness?"

As (my) friends asked (me), (I) thought about (it)

As long as you are here (I am) in happiness"

As usual, I gave the single because of the B-side, and this is no exception. Simple in melody though abrupt, but eventually it's the lyrics that placed the cherry on top of this lovely cake. We are talking about cream puffs though, but then again the melody does give off a feel of affection and firgiveness, and it really feels so too in the lyrics. As a maiden falling in love, talking about everyday life and how much the girl is forgiving the many things the partner is not doing normally as a couple (not go out on dates, got angry because she was late) but hey, she still likes the one guy is all she can say. Referring to the dessert, I don't know what to feel from it, but since it's from Mocho, I think that is good enough. The melody overall feels abrupt with immediate stops of instrumentals which definitely feels weird, but a nice chorus and a short bridge does puts this song in a good light, so I think it's worth a give. The lyrics sure make this song so sweet I fell in love with Mocho again though, just saying.
Rating: 4 stars (Lovely Average)

Conclusion: All in all, I wouldn't really recommend this single because it's a good single, but because I like this girl called Asakura Momo. Although I'm pretty sure that once you have listened to this single it'll change you mind to how love-oriented they have made her solo music career so that we can all love her, as innocent and probably clumsy she can be in person. That, I can recommend. Also, if you like dance pop then the topic song is totally for you. It's okay; not watching an Anime and giving songs is normal in Klassic Note because if they are good I'll give them. This is a good example of that.

- Kaineng, on the Klassic Note

P.S.  *listens to lyrics quote above for B-side* Ah Mocho... *dies* (I WISH haha you gotta treat her well, man)
P.S. "One tap to break (me) will be okay" So if I tap your va**** I'll break you? Haha I suddenly feel the urge to do her, uh, I mean, do it lol (It was meant as a love


THE PACKAGE

Wow that took a while. But yeah, let's jump right into what came with the two CDs, yes? Remember, I will NEVER buy singles only because of special gifts haha is that not obvious enough

Firstly, amatsuuni. Again, someone please explain to me the meaning behind the cones (is it because it's to stop conversations? uh oh) but otherwise you get a lot of her face dribbled all over the package, to say the least. It's not much, it's simple for a Regular Edition single, so I won't comment much. On to the gifts, I chose Toranoana since my first two choices ran out which are "All Local Stores" version (which includes the Teichiku record label store and Rakuten) and the one from "AmiAmi" (they both sport her best camera angle haha) and also because the store is giving out not one, but TWO bromides (thanks Toranoana!) because one was for the release for the store, and one was from the store itself. Man, such publicity to get her on oricon charts haha. Anyways, don't ask me about the cone, me saying her being cute is formality (lol), so let's move on to the real cute girl here haha amatsuuni please don't hit me

Don't mind the white line on Mocho's right eye it's reflection from the plastic

Next, Mocho's single. As usual, nothing much, they even skipped filling up the back of the booklet which only has 4 pages (which fits into print for one piece of paper btw) (same as above) so yeah, very minimal, to say the least. Still, it could be worse, so I'll take it. As for special gifts... I know this is sad but I still have to say it, it has been THREE WEEKS since release and I still get to get hold of stock from Animate (Online Shop) one of the most popular online stores in Japan, which says a lot about sales. I'm not going to comment, I feel bad for her already by not really putting a recommend on the above review, but yeah, good for me then I can catch up to her releases to say the least. But yeah, I thought it'll sell well, but you know, Nan-chan (Natsukawa Shiina) was like this too btw so I'm not going to act surprised. Moving on, the theme here is about gems which explains about her make-up and donning of jewelry. If that makes her pretty I'm fine but hey, I like natural look Mocho. I've seen her photobook, so I can say that. More of those instead, yes?



This is it then. Man, half an afternoon. How long since I've done this already? Man, I need to give more releases more often haha probably not I guess. Coming up most likely is a review of that one manga I promised Kawai Makoto-sensei (author of Anime "Koufuku Graffiti") (not that though) I'll buy her final volume once it comes out, so yeah, it happened. Just give me like, 3 hours to read through all three volumes in Japanese (yeah going raw, bois) and maybe I'll do a write-up by tonight. Dinner time now, I guess. Until the next post then.

P.S. All photos this time around taken from a new desk mat, so it's less glaring now because of the material but it's also shorter in width so if I zoom out you'll see my desk haha thanks China

The Entertainment News 2019 Edition Issue #24

Hey, guys.

Another week, another week of... verifying my spending on the Internet because I spent like, hundreds on international shipping. Don't thank me, everyone. Doing my part to maintain those delivery routes that keep the world connected haha *sob*

What, I'm going to talk about how terrible my work week is and how I just helped out my friend on his school assignment on programming? NO!

*laughs*

Yep, Bungo Stray Dogs first again until Senko-san gets an interesting cliffhanger BOOM got'em haha

アニメ Bungo Stray Dogs Season 3

"Nothing is impossible for a great detective." Well, unless you get out detective-d by another genius haha sorry Ranpo-san it's the plot

Again, if Chuuya has anything lacking it's intelligence he'll get outwitted by ANYTHING lmao. Okay in this new episode (#BungouStrayDogs35) there is fighting. There is action. Yes, it's happening. And dammit do we have to wait for another week for the conclusion, spoiler alert. But yeah, there is good reason that it has come to this. The mastermind thus far, Fyodor, has chosen to corner both groups to a final resort, which is to fight it out. Whoever wins shall be able to get rid of the opposing leader and make their one survive the ordeal. Sounds easy, but hey, there is good reason why both of them stand strong in this city of Yokohama. Let's talk about plot first. The Detective Agency chose to approach the Port Mafia's tower first, it seems, leaving Atsushi and Kunikida behind since the former can investigate what happened to Katai (spoiler alert, he's dead), and the latter can still try over what happened to the kids from last episode lol. (Again, Kunikida, it's not your fault) Anyways, some they can play along, but some have other plans. We do know of a lot of interesting new information which I've much anticipated or even not in some cases, but hey, this is an action show after all so everyone's gotta have an Ability. Even Ranpo-san. Thank goodness I was reminded of Season 2 where his buddy Poe-san brought him into one of his novels, so yeah, apparently Ranpo-san's Ability is similar too. I guess both are similar to Lucy's power of alternate worlds. So yeah, suck it Chuuya you idiot you're going to be in there for a week minimum lmao. Also revealed is that lemon bomb guy (apparently he's still alive after all this) who literally thought bombing up the whole building is the best way to signal the enemy to retreat. Is that how it works? Terrorism, I mean. *laughs* And finally, even without the book Fyodor stole from that idiot of a Port Mafia executive (lol), we get to know what Mori Ougai's Ability is. (Well Fukuzawa is a swordsman so I guess that requires no Ability anyways) (A reminder that his Ability is not attack-based from how he "saved" Kyouka last season) (Also, pure power btw) It's Elise-chan, of course. If you bother to do some research, Kafuka-sensei - the author for this series - chose to tweak the Ability name from what should be "The Dancing Girl" to, you know, make the guy look way cooler than he should have been, so good for you, sir. So yeah, Mori's Ability is to manifest a puppet he controls, sort of like Kyouka and Kouyo's Abilities, I guess. (But you know, Ten-chan is cuter *laughs*) What will happen next now that the two leaders have chose to leave their beds poisoned and meet up in a secluded location only known to them (and possibly Fyodor)? Your guess is as good as mine. Although I would argue that accidents are going to happen even if they don't anticipate it. The poison might still trigger on them from time to time, man. Good on them for making it to the meeting though, probably sneaking around town just to get to there maybe haha. Man, this season is going to end great, and I can't wait. You know the series is good if you can hype over two organisation leaders fighting in any action Anime series. Okay BLEACH may be underwhelming mostly but still lol "COME!" That's Fukuzawa and also me haha

This is so cute I can't even

This is so cute I can't even?

P.S. If it's part of my job that my family will be threatened? I'll just quit. *laughs* Oh we can't do that? lmao
P.P.S. *Kyouka sees Akutagawa* Haha try to control my Ability by talking to my phone now! lol he probably still can tbh
[Because it has been 10 years too for me and I feel like I'm living the BLEACH dream again, here's a GIF]

This is like Bankai reveal in BLEACH but different
(Yeah it's not as pedophilic lol) (*remembers Mayuri's bankai*)

アニメ Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san

"She seems like one with plenty of force and authority"... Must be the chest lol

Ah Nakano good for you we don't have snow here so even if it rains cats and dogs and our trains don't work I still got to squeeze in the buses- Oh you still going to work? *laughs* In this new episode (#SenkoSan10) we describe the worst things that is in work: working even when nature calls. Lol I'm not talking about the toilet (your company will probably let you do that lmao), but yeah, even if the weather's bad outside. Thank goodness for that phone message, amirite? *laughs sadly for 20mins* Firstly, the bad weather. You know, the cold. Which never happens when you live near the equator (1 degree North, to be specific) but hey, you'll wonder how I catch a cold haha. Anyways, Nakano gets a day off his work because of the weather (explanations to why above, and trains don't normally run underground in Japan), and he sort of gets to play with Senko-san in the snow. So that's fun. Enouji was close to joining them but uh, she hardly has any Enouji to walk to the convenience store at this weather, amirite?? *finds someone to high-five* (because Enouji = energy) Haha anyways, it was a fun day, Nakano decides to enjoy more warmth and touches Senko-san's tail, totally forgetting it's not a non-living object like those faux tails, so... that demigod just caught a cold lmao. The other half was that super old demigod's visit to Nakano's place. You know, that one who served him food at the beach not knowing they walked into her premises technically, so yeah, Shiro-san got punished for many more things than I mentioned in that episode, to say the least. She is Sora, clearly more senior than those two probably with their ages combined, and is also clearly shown by the number of fox tails she has on her back. You know what's better than one fox tail, guys? FOUR! *laughs* So yeah, she thought the same as Shiro as Nakano seems to not get enough relief from his work (man, I wish I was in Anime) and... literally offers her body to the guy. I mean, if you're a petit old woman real life me will absolutely say no, but hey, if Nakano only wants tail then the rest don't matter. Especially if it's Senko-san's tail. *laughs* Anyways, Sora laughs it off, but warns him about an impending disaster should he anger Senko-san. I wonder what it is. But if a calamity is about to happen whether Senko-san anticipated it or not, it might be a good way to end the series here, whether it's original to the manga or not haha. We shall see then, we shall see...

When you thought Senko-san cannot get any cuter

When you thought Senko-san cannot get any cuter

P.S. "I'm too old for this" And then I immediately make a snowball and throw at Senko-san haha come on Nakano we know you can do this it's not illegal to hit kids... kid-like figures lmao
P.P.S. I don't know why every time I fail to say "sen-ko-san wa ha-ppyaku-sai" is this supposed to be a tongue twister? If it is I'm tongue-twisted lmao "sen-ko-san wa hya-ppaku-" DAMMIT

アニメ Midara na Ao-chan wa Benkyou ga Dekinai

"...There is no point in doing a group study" I would like to quote that one girl from "Asobi Asobase" who was top student in class because she studied with her bf? lol HANAKO NO haha

Haha oh god this girl is beyond saving already at this point SHE STAGED HER OWN DATE!! *laughs* In this new episode (#AoChan11) I think "just sex me already" will perfectly replace the title because... those panties aren't going anywhere. *laughs* Oh man, it's all so confusing to the reader here, I'm sorry, so here's the breakdown. Nothing happened. *laughs* Okay, the story. As mentioned above, Ao-chan staged her own study date with Kijima, and... I guessed she enjoyed it haha. I mean, asking for sex sounds like a man's dream, and I swear Kijima is totally aware that there's a banger in front of her in the empty house, but you know, Kijima is not like this. If you need clarification, and I share the same thought, there are men out there who draw a very clear line between sex and everything else a couple does. Coune me in too, by the way. If (that's a big IF btw) there's someone I like and is dating, sex will be THE LAST THING I'll do to her. Mainly because if that's what you are aiming for you're no different than a beast. I mean, we are kind of, but we shouldn't insinuate ourselves into it today, to say the least. I already promised myself to remove all the porn I possess IF I ever get laid already haha. *shakes head* Anyways, coming back here, Ao-chan tries to hint Kijima into sex-ing her, but Kijima gives a challenge in reply: whoever improved their upcoming test score more (More? For Ao-chan? lol) will listen to one request from the other person. I know Ao-chan already lost since she is incapable of even wearing silky panties since it doesn't warm her stomach (TIL btw), so yeah, it's Kijima's win then. Again, not the way to conquer a man since many do but don't go to sex, but hey, Ao-chan you do you. *laughs* We are also close to the end of the series already as hinted by next episode's title, so... what do you think will happen? Sex sold separately, by the way. *laughs*

This might be the most depraved woman I have seen this season lol

I'm lifting the ban to post lewd shit goddammit haha

P.S. "Keep quiet and let me give it to you" I'm here for Ao-chan's Waki Azumi's scream btw haha okay Azumi-chan can we date now?
P.P.S. "Does this foolishness come from not knowing of pleasure?" I have a lot of questions to ask Ao-chan but... *long silence* yes haha

アニメ Joshikausei

Well, that was such a wholesome episode, they gotta put in a conflict to balance it lol. In this new episode (#Joshikausei11) it's about the kotatsu. In case you don't know what that is and you're like me who lives in a place where the average temperature is warmer than a kotatsu lol, it's basically a coffee table with a blanket and heater underneath. Pretty simple idea for keeping warm, and I swear it's way harder to do that with a real fire source in the past than it is with an electric heater now, but hey, it's an invention nonetheless. The girls hang out at Momoko's place after a long day at school (I suppose), and they play with mikan and draw each other badly lol. Hey, if this is how a good time is with friends I need to sit down and talk to mine lmao. Well, the girls can't really talk in this girls' talk so this will have to do haha. And they gotta play a prank on Momoko before they leave, isn't it? Ah, this series is stupidly awesome. The cuddling is also quite wholesome too assuming everyone doesn't smell like fish lmao don't hit me

That is called "using hoodie as a bag"

And that is called "don't sit in until you take off your outerwear" lol

[Update 2019.06.19: Because my replacement phone arrived on Monday and I dozed off on Tuesday. Also, those packages, they keep comin' haha]

アニメ Attack on Titan Season 3 Part.2

"It's so big..." The airship, guys. The airship haha

I mean, what can I say? My son is too smart, bro! Didn't expect to betray the heck out of me lol. In this new episode (#AttackOnTitan57) is... honestly quite a lot to absorb here, so let's talk about it as we go. Story goes that in another world where Eren's father Grisha was in, he was within walls (lol what a coincidence, dad) and treated like trash. Problem is, the world surrounding him is a truth. There is also a world out there that is suppressing his freedom so leaving the premises seems like a sin even just to see an airship without an exit pass. Blah blah blah years later Grisha came to know the truth working as a doctor, and that was linked to his past where his sister died due to his little outing with her. Well, it wasn't a natural death to say the least. He learned of the resistance within the walls and eventually became an influence to the group, leading the Eldians as they were meant to be, supposed superior race who held Titan powers and ruled the world. (TIL there are technically 9 Titans around, so that's a relief) (I thought it'd be like BLEACH that I can make as many of them as I like) (Well not just injected with Titan spine fluid kind of course) Solid history there though, I sure hope the author thought it through, but yeah some saw it as evil and took them out. I mean, what's wrong with making a deal with the devil? *looks at Kutoshitsuji* Anyways haha, eventually the humans won, took hostage of the Eldians and trapped them within those walls should they try to revolt again. Interesting story comes in here, tied to the world we know of as of now. Firstly, there is the royal family. Supposedly the people who possessed the one Titan power that got split into 9, these people with the blood of the one ancestor who signed contract with the devil, were the first to rule the continent. (Well, they can't write for all continents so...) So yeah, eventually the King left the big island and went to a small island, ignoring all war that happened in order to I assume preserve royal blood and the Founding Titan power. Today, we know of that power as seen in the previous part of this season ie. the One which can command, with the blood last seen by Lord Reiss licking it on the ground and turning into one lol. Anyways, it's probably not him who pussied out, but yeah making death threats was the reason why Wall Maria was never taken down until you know, the very first episode of this series. Secondly, how there are at least two parties looking into obtaining the founding Titan's power. Spoiler alert for those intruders, it's pretty much gone lol, so yeah, Zeke and the Titan party AND Grisha and the Owl, you guys are going to be finding a whole lot of nothing. *laughs* So yeah, that's pretty much the story, as linked to Eren by his father on a very, very long dream. If you need an opinion about the backstory for me, I would say it's well thought out as much as it is a lot to absorb (I mean, it's an Anime and they have to put it all together to make it sound correct too) but all in all, this episode explains pretty much every reason to what world Eren and the others are living for thus far. Zeke who was Grisha's first son became a traitor, working for the other humans for personal gains. Grisha's later son who he probably got after sneaking into the walls and meeting a woman and starting a family, Eren, sought to find out the truth and why they were within these walls. Hey, guess what, Eren? Your walls were made to protect you guys. And that, might be the biggest relief to all story thus far. I'm satisfied, I guess. Next episode would bring us the final fate of Eren, on whether he will be spared or not by what, not obeying orders? What? You guys know at this point with all royalty gone and the main island coming after you guys that he is YOUR ONLY SAVIOUR, right?? I mean, we have seen probably 4 of the 9 Titans thus far, and there is negotiation for this, but man are you all treating Eren badly. Why? Why people want to seek the truth but also like to bully people? Oh well, not like I want to live that life anyway. What will happen to Eren though? If everyone within the walls want the truth, they better not think of killing this boy who changed all of this impending fate. Heck, it's still an island, goddammit. And we can barely see the horizon. Going to the sea is going to be easy, Eren. You just gotta live through this arc lol

The thought of this Titan being absorbed by Grisha at some point is...

... making my hair stand up like Mikasa haha

P.S. "His name was Zeke" Oh man Grisha what have you done~!! haha
P.P.S. It may sound like a very messy review above but man was I convinced of the story. But yeah, makes you wonder who's the bad guy here. Again, making deals with the devil isn't bad until you do evil with it. *laughs*

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week was... quite a week in Klassic Note. I completely changed my opinion and gave amatsuuni's major debut single the thumbs up to be on my shelf (must be the release cover lol) along with (wait for it) Asakura Momo's latest single which I thought wasn't great until I gave a listen to it, three weeks after its release. We'll talk about both of them as soon as they come earliest next week, but until then... yeah there isn't much to give now haha. New songs, I mean. Looking back, DENIM's new album is actually not too bad, as I quickly (maybe) got hooked (during work) on some of the tunes which did get stuck in my mind over the week (in work) (lol) so yeah, I'm giving more than quite a few. They sound like Yogee New Waves but with rap, to be frank. I also managed to give a listen to Middle Kids' new EP and... let's just say I'm trying to ignore any religious lyrics that might infer whatever because I'm technically a free-thinker haha. I decided to give also Tomatsu Haruka's new... digital single but I gave it a miss since I don't think it's good. Oh well. It just feels repetitive imo, the style and all. And of course Yuuki Aoi's new album... I'm hesitating to give songs here. Mainly because it doesn't sound like her and the good songs are real hype and I'm not, so I'll to be in the mood to give more, I guess. Oh, I also gave KANA-BOON's new single a listen and... nah. *laughs*

Next week... I may need to dig in to some artists which I may have missed in a while, I suppose. That or I'll just review the ones I've given and not given so far for a start. I can't really name names here since I don't recall what I told myself (Note to self: Next time write here first as a note), so we shall see. I'll probably update on Twitter if I find anything good.

On Twitter and all around the web, KANA-BOON's bassist just went MIA for some reason (don't ask me why he may be delinquent/a victim for all we know) so they had to cancel their recent live performance, Amamiya Sora's new music video preview is looking real cool (the song though?), Porno Graffitti's new single come sout in end July, nano.RIPE's new single releases end August, and THE ORAL CIGARETTES has a best compilation also due end August. Yeah. That's quite fast, to be honest. Oh well, time to give more songs then especially those early indie ones. Oh also, Aimer's new single comes out in August. Yeah, she has been releasing a lot of new songs, I'm just not giving them lol




That'll be it then. I wanted the last part to be quick but hey, so many to even just mention, let alone comment. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I may be busy updating this blog with my previously mentioned expenditures and I can't WAIT to share it here with... nobody. I feel satisfied and sad now haha bye

P.S. I did get a change of PC speakers though that new soundbar is SWEET haha thanks Creative why is the subwoofer crooked though
