Happy birthday Horie Yui!! Ah, what a deserving
17th birthday
to celebrate, dear Hocchan. I love that
her birthday wish to be prettier
wow what a great time to start she is already a beauty how can she be
prettier- Okay in case you didn't detect the sarcasm lol, she's 45 and if you
think voice actresses in Japan have no shticks she ran this for a quarter of a
century haha well I feel bad now let's stop
On a heavier note, happy birthday also to my first ever crush in middle
school. It was like yesterday: We were in a new school, she moved house to
this new neighbourhood all alone, and I was one of many people to talk to.
Well, not so much face to face but still. *laughs* Hey, I wished I got her into some
stupid promise that if we are still single when we reach 30 we'll be
together. You know, for insurance? Haha okay I feel bad for myself now let's
stop
Since we can't talk about birthdays anymore lol, let's talk about why
there's this extra post which could've been on a Sunday. As elaborated
yesterday, in a nutshell I thought wrapping the below two series up today
would be great in view of (1) talking about next season this weekend which
will also be a lighter load since we'll have only "Sonny Boy" left in
preparation for the new season of Anime, and (2) some wedding ceremony I have
to attend provided I can even pay for the swab test. *silence* Let's talk
about Anime!!
アニメ Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.
So, uh, this Nagisa now is voiced by Ayachi or by Miyashita? Haha I don't even know now also come on we got more important things to talk about! In this final episode of the series I thought was two seasons long (#TanMoshi12), it's ridiculous how this hasn't ended yet. *laughs* Hey, I gotta take a word from Kimizuka. So, story. Again, this is an adaptation of the original novel series, so take the last part of it with a pinch of salt. I'll tell you (where I think is) when, so let's continue. Story goes that we still be fighting Chameleon, just that at this point, we got Nagisa to help. Yes, that girl who got kidnapped by the baddie and saved by the sidekick, dropped into the ocean and saved by Saikawa, you with me so far? *laughs* So anyways, the fact is still real, Nagisa did that heart transplant with Siesta on it, so just like the flashback we saw in the previous episode, Siesta just took over the body to deal with this half android with the sidekick. Siesta's still dead though; It's on the title, don't forget. This is still a thing though, and as they reminisce the days they were together over the three years we totally only just saw less than half a year lol, yeah it was just a joyride for this series in general, I guess. As for Siesta's... revival? Yeah, it's mainly just a lifeline to be honest, saving their sorry butts off this bad guy so hopefully the group now as we have seen so far can bring themselves together to finish what the detective has set to do: take down SPES. We're not going to be on that ride though unless you continue with the original. But it sure was entertaining. On the epilogue which is basically half this episode to be honest, blah blah go away Charlotte and Fuubi-san haha, we talk about whatever date in the bar Kimizuka had with Nagisa apparently, just never dressed in tandem which says a lot about their rapport lol. Turns out, unlike the one with Hel stealing Siesta's heart, this time around, Nagisa let Siesta take over for a while. Whether that'll make Kimizuka happy or not we have seen for ourselves the answer is no lmao, so yeah, in case you thought Nagisa didn't have a role to play in this arc, think again. It's not much though, so don't ponder on for too long. And after the credits... Well really, just think about how Siesta kept saying she is prepared right from the start. So yeah, you should NEVER be surprised. This is a short write-up for the episode as it's a short ending, so let's summarize by talking about what was good about this animated series. Firstly, boobs. *laughs* Hey, not that, that is actually what I see AFTER I gave the series, trust me. But I'm just putting that aside lest you guys lash me for not mentioning it haha. Second, simplicity of plot. I won't say the Alicia/Hel thing is simple as it is talking about SPES and their lack of intel in this adaptation, but everything else from Siesta being the ultimate detective with Kimizuka being sidekick solving mysteries on his own without the girl, it all made sense if you don't think too much into it. Think James Bond if kids knew what that is now lol. For the Anime production, I say they did it well. Lastly, everything else in bits and pieces. From the stellar (female) (haha) voice cast (seriously who gives a shit about Kimi) to the theme songs which arguably might be the best of the four I've watched this season, to the haphazard action scenes which will make any Siesta fight cooler than Charlotte shooting from a helicopter haha, there will be something that can catch your attention even if it's from the one-hour special on the plane. Now, what was not great. *laughs* I don't really watch many action series, but I think it's enough for me to say in this. Seeing as this is from a novel series, I will cut it some slack because how are you going to dictate a detailed action series better than a manga artist haha. So yep, next up, the animation. Yes, literally, "Shinigami Bocchan" as we will watch later and is mostly run by 3DCG with magic powers, is still better. *giggles* I can give you examples using screenshots to convince you but you may have noticed something yourself at some point. And that, if you are here for action, I'm sorry to disappoint because it wasn't my fault. And then, the gaps in logic of the story. Not exactly obvious, they won't have enough time to say it even if we give an extra episode-length headstart, but having Siesta being the solution and intelligence in everything is total convenience for an action storyline without even trying. Meaning, I rather watch people die in "BLEACH" (or not) and then you give me the simple solution than just give me the answer from the start: That's what I felt after watching Siesta dominate her opponent on the plane. It's too smart. It's only when Kimizuka takes over and Siesta moving into a secondary role that made this series good because that advantage is "lost". Lastly, and I think this is kind of important but not really, the lack of impact. By the time you watch Siesta come in to fight alongside Kimizuka, you already know Chameleon is never gonna win, and they are just toying with their prey now. There are no cliffhangers within the action, no one gets harmed... even Siesta getting hit by that monster AND DIED in SPES HQ also looked like a joke haha. It basically lacks the kick it needs to make it really good and awesome. I don't know how you can fix this considering it's a flaw in the series seeing how the story panned out, but I've been kind. The Anime did end on a proper note, if everything isn't planned this would've been cooler, and now I rather do Nagisa because Siesta is dead already lol okay I'm done"Kimi, you love me too much, isn't it?" ... Yeah, Siesta, I'll admit. *laughs*

Ah hey check if there's residue in your-
[Should we show how bad the animation was? Should we even? I'm sorry not sorry for this btw]

アニメ Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid
Wow, I'm in awe. *silence* Okay I gotta do this quick we are falling behind I still need to work tomorrow haha. In this final episode of a series that has only made me happy (#ShinigamiBocchan12), in this one we will be a little sad. Just a little just because. Story goes that in the previous episode sadly ignoring the Daleth thing with Sharon because we'll get to that at some point maybe, Bocchan got invited into the main mansion by of all people, the mother. With this episode though, we do know a little more about her and the family situation as of now. Feels awkward to talk about this right at the end of this series but yes, you can take a hint. *wink* So, mainly because Bocchan has only seen her mother since he was five if you would recall, he having to return to what is his home is kinda unsettling. You know, because there's the one who will never dare to acknowledge his son because she thinks her child is a time bomb or something lol. We'll summarize what she did talk about to her eldest son in a moment, but I would like to discuss a bit about the house and what happened of Sharon. Interestingly, Sharon who is Alice's mother, shared a friendly relationship with Bocchan's mother, clearly likely because of the head maid and mistress- Yeah you get the idea. *laughs* But more importantly, we now know that Alice was passed on to her relative because Sharon passed away. How though? We have no idea. It's as if someone didn't want her to witness her mother's death... We also know about the moment Bocchan got cursed, and how it happened. Basically an ambush, some woman hugged him from behind in front of a grave which yes we can't see the front view of the tombstone anyways, the woman was a powerful magician who instantly casted a curse on him in seconds, and she had a rack. *silence* That could've been anybody. *laughs* ANYWAYS haha, and before we hit the final conflict on the dining table which yes looks like the one in the past across the long table lol, we also touched on the aristocracy we so love and treasure a century ago haha. Okay, jokes aside, that means you do not have any freedom on the decisions and all decisions are done in the face of reputation and upholding the household values, whatever they are. So yeah, in case you wondered, Walter thought of freedom if Bocchan became head of the household, is probably what he was angry about. So yeah, each one for themselves, but all within the same cage. And finally I can't believe how they can drag it this long, the confrontation. No fist fighting, no really it's not even an argument here the mother didn't talk back she normally just talks OVER her kids haha, but we were given a little family background after knowing this family for so long. So so far, the father was missing in action clearly but because the dad is ill and bedridden, which will explain how the mother has been making the decisions thus far. And with a traumatised past some I could say came from a cursed child (no, not talking about Harry Potter), we can see the mother is indeed under a lot of pressure, should her husband pass away without anyone to actually take over the household. Yep, our bro aristocracy strikes back again, because women can't lead the family. *giggles* Anyways, the mother's point is that, if Bocchan can't get his curse done in half a year tops, Walter will be chosen to lead the household. Ironically that is the worst case scenario for both of them since the elder doesn't mind leading but has a curse and"Alice is also not here too. Why did I even bother coming here?" Yeah okay Zain get out lol

Alice is just great, in many ways than other (Haha) |

How do they even animate this it still blows my mind haha (Kawaii) |
[Okay in the mother's defence? She is already kind enough to not exert
herself over the lives of her children mainly because without the husband's
guidance (and God knows if he's the real villain in the series lol) and also it can be
seen from for example she only mentions the impact of Viola's fashion sense
on the family reputation and never once did she force her to change out since the one time she did it it's only just escorting, already shows
how... magnanimous? She has already been so far. Not to say she doesn't have
a temper, but who knows? Maybe she can still be a good mom. Definitely not
as bad as Sayu's mom in "HigeHiro", God that bitch was a literal-]

Like seriously, how long was this post supposed to be? I know it's only Monday, me, but CHILL OUT!! *laughs* Because problem is, I did intend to talk about another short web series which I intend to write at length so... I think we can just talk about it briefly I guess. As you might have known, "Ganbare Douki-chan" which was a doujin series I've followed since last year if you have seen my packages lol, has actually gotten itself animated (which apparently isn't surprising since it isn't the author's first but it did quickly gain traction online), and boy does it come with viewing restrictions basically saying if you not in Japan don't even think about it but apparently it got licensed in Southeast Asia through YouTube so yay me but yeah I watched the first episode this morning on the train this morning and I think that might be a bad idea lmao. So yeah, it was fine, just happy to see it animated, and don't ask if I will ever buy the Blu-Ray set or something. Just no I'll just take the books- IS THAT A CHARACTER THEME SONG!?? *laughs* Cya guys this weekend
