The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #39

Yay, it's the term break. And before that this was a real crazy week. From being rejected an internship to entering an interview to meeting up with that insurance agent which I do once every two years... my life is busy. And I hate it. *laughs* Okay let's move on.

This week also signals a good time to end Anime for one season, and welcoming a new one.

アニメ
ANIME
Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Did I not say it was filler episode for the end? Yes, I did. If not, I'm saying it now lol. Typically with this type of adaptation we won't reach the ending (well the manga hasn't ended anyway so...) anytime soon but that doesn't mean they cannot play with it. Usami-san is placed with a lot of fun this episode (12), as she walks home under the same umbrella with Uchimaki-kun (if you know this it's practically drawing a love umbrella FYI) and thinks of whether she should even confess to this guy who likes 2D characters so much he minds if the girls have partners or not. Though not the point, the ending came in with the same pace as the whole story itself, so that's not too bad. Unfortunately there will not be a second season if it ends like that, and I will, as I mentioned, continue to read the comic and see the missing stuff that is not in the show. It's kind of that thing to set us going. So yes, thanks for this Anime. I really enjoyed it. If you needed reasons to watch this, watch it for the pace of slice-of-life, the focus on events and characters, and fantastic art courtesy of Kyoto Animation. It has been a ride.
If you remembered this three episodes ago the string thing still works. Haha nice try, Moeka-chan.
Time Travel Shoujo: Last episode (12). Well, no epic fights though. But yes they did explain everything, which is good. We now know the reason of a time rift above their heads, because likely also through space-time stuff which we don't know of, one of the armillary compasses split into two, which also means there are only, to Hayase's knowledge, only two of them in the first place. Then, we also know that since three of them are in the machine, only two will go back. Well, guess what? Mikage-san gets to stay in the past. Not really a problem because he'll be the smartest businessman in the world at that time. The machine is set to blow up already, and things getting out of control is of course what the animation team ended up deciding on. Not a bad ending, I guess, and it gets better. We get to see the future. The future of somewhere a book is replaced with an apple. I don't take speculations, but if we want to guess that elderly lady explaining to the kid probably is Mari-chan (yeah, huh), and that we just got to see a little of the legacy that has happened, that's all. Nice story, though. I enjoyed this one. It's definitely more than just an educational show though.
Yeah sure, you'll NEVER find this in the history books. Nice try, Mikage-san.
Next season? I better talk about it, because I think I did say something last week. None. I found none interesting. Sangatsu no Lion will be interesting so long as they don't talk about shougi all the time though, and Fune wo Amu will be even more if it isn't focused on literature. On the other hand, I'm prepared to continue the story that is Bungou Stray Dogs after seeing what kind of stuff those Americans got into (don't assume I'm criticising foreigners; watch the show), and I'll be looking forward to more jokes in WWW.WORKING!!, ie. Web Verison WORKING!! as I would like to call it soon. More stories and origins will come as soon as next week, so we may not be taking a break at all. Yay for more Anime!

漫画
MANGA
What did I tell you? Manga is nothing without BLEACH. On the other hand, one of the Anime above has ended, so I'll be reading a lot into Usami-chan next week.

This Week on Klassic Note
Okay, this one. Sources are hard to find in the Internet to do reviews, so things maybe slower than usual. Aimer's new album released this week, and I must say people writing songs for her makes it so much... worse, I guess. Love songs aren't common in her songs, so I maybe giving one from inside this release. plenty's new album also got released this week, and I must say feels a lot different than their album from last year. Maybe I'm not in the mood (because I'm all relieved after what happened earlier in the week), but then I'll give a song. You know, give them a chance. Their style is indeed good though, I would say. I rejected wacci's new album good (sorry guys), Mikakoshi's new single doesn't seem to resonate well within me, and I haven't gotten the full review in, so... maybe I'll just give because of the music video, yes? (Love you, Mikakoshi~) Through those live performance footages last week I also picked up Iwasaki Ai's latest album again to try to give one more song, but till date it has not been sticking well with me. I don't know. I need a reason to give songs today.

Next week brings a new single which I have not been mentioning much about recently even in Twitter, which is Aqua Timez. But hey, it's been some time and I can't get used to them releasing new songs, but it is good so of course I'll have a listen. You guys should too; their music is great.


This is it then. I'm feeling excited, anxious, confused, and tired. At the same time, I have to figure out life and society as a whole, not because I'm crazy but because I want to continue APoL. Progress has not been good. That, and thanks to a link I posted here (thanks, RC) I noticed my story is just like a TCG. Uh oh. But no, I'm not going to do that. It's different. It has duels. It has cards that change life. It focuses on people. Ugh my head hurts...

Thursday 22 September 2016

Is it okay to leave everything behind, forgetting what is true to ourselves and living the society life where criticism and sacrifice is prime?

A question you should ask yourself if you've enjoyed a life without work (till now) and am about to. Like me. And I don't like it. And we can't fight the change, unfortunately. Unless you terrorist (get out of my blog then you piece of), otherwise... I guess not.

P.S. What are the chances of this being seen? Oh well, Google. You get the first hand lol

The Dream Fragment #18

Remember somewhere in this blog I wanna talk about that date in Aki-chan I wrote somewhere on Facebook for my own reading? I'm still not going to reveal that. However, I'm going to talk about... probably the best dream I've had in months. Yes, I got to be in a private session with my beloved idol. (And yes, it involves others but then we can't really be alone lol)

Instead of writing a story (which explains why this isn't a full story), I'll talk about what I have done in the dreams and what I didn't.

(In no particular order; piece it up yourself haha)

What I've done:
~ Asked for an autograph. I forgot where I got a square card, but probably from her latest album haha, but she said she won't just sign only she wants to leave me a message. I said anything would do she she wrote (awkwardly in Chinese) like, well the usual. Supporting her and stuff, thanks and love and stuff. No drawing though. But oh well, signatures are enough
~ Has a great time with her. I've a feeling I'm in a... what you call that, a shabu shabu house? Because all I remember are food, mostly uncooked. I was missing a bowl to eat in and she asked the waiter for me. For me. Yes.

What I've not done:
~ Asked for a hug. It maybe ridiculous, and why not in a dream, but then I did intend to ask for one before all this, but I didn't. And I woke up remembering that. My heart is broken now lol
~ Count my chances. We in a nutshell I was lucky. You know how you have to be picked randomly for prizes related to anything of an idol? This one, enough for me to buy the lottery and win it haha. Somehow it's also done in the same place I was eating. Weird.
~ Sit closer to her. You know, we want to do that when we're desperate. Unfortunately there was kind of a glitch, I say, a logical paradox in the first place. Firstly, I was sitting on those comfy restaurant seats where you sit across each other. Secondly, at some point I had a scene where I was able to sit on a seat perpendicular (to my right) to where she was sitting. Her hand was on the seat for goodness sake.

There you go. I should've just written the whole dream, but I forgot most (as usual) and I promised myself (also probably Aki-chan) that I'll go to school today because of her. How I'm falling in love with this (soon to be) 30-year-old I don't know. I do know this is what we call fandom, and I hope this is just the beginning. Man, dreams are great.

P.S. If you need a hint on how this can work in your dreams, think of someone else the night before (I was thinking of Mina-chan if I'm not wrong), and sing a lot of songs to yourself. Wait, this sounds like me every night before I sleep haha

P.P.S. In view of this I may just post whatever I was taking about tonight, if I'm free. Well I will be, so you're in luck, me. *laughs*

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #38

Every week I have to deal with life, and entertainment. And then I found out that entertainment is something I forgot to enjoy when I leave it alone long enough. Well, that's good for impressions, really.

Other than that, my life is all over the place. Mostly anxiety, though. I can't get enough of those apparently. Okay, let's move on. Entertainment is supposed to be happy.


アニメ
ANIME
Kono Bitsujubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Wait, is this filler content? Well, good thing I just have to wait until they reveal it on their official Twitter on the Anime and Manga content! (Visit it for details and more images! xD) This episode (11) talks about the all important school festival, and since Koyama-sensei the previous advisor didn't give a sh*t about it before, Yumeko-sensei is here to take charge, and it all starts with a humble tin can. I sure haven't seen tin can art before, so this sure is something to learn from, actually. With her enthusiasm comes the cooperative effort of the club (including that half-asleep Club President) and quite a few mishaps (Imari-san you could've explained it in terms a teacher can understand you-) but then again we got to see some cosplay displaying chest sizes Usami-san wished she had. (I thank Yumeko-sensei for not talking about the room in that tight outfit lol) All in all, it was a good experience, and they managed to get that structure out of the club room lol. Oh wait, did I spoil it? Well, at least I didn't say it was a tin can art sculpture of a-
P.S. Wait, what? Next episode lol
Ah Colette-chan, sticking in again with the straight jokes.
Good thing people around her are understanding. Most of them anyway.
Time Travel Shoujo: EPIC CLIMAX! Well, next episode, probably. On the other hand, we got good story this episode (11) leading up to it. Hey, I must say I'm not disappointed despite the less than satisfactory graphics, and I'm rather excited of what's happening. We witness the ideas of Edison come to life, and Hayase obviously knowing of Mikage's appearance in the past now we got him into the equation. Then again weirder stuff is happening that probably cannot be explained by science (that is good time to stop promoting this as an educational show then), and we're about to find out pretty soon. Then again, this could go many ways, the machine is going haywire (hey no one said it wasn't experimental when Hayase stole it), and somehow everything is going to hell from here. That is what I think though. You can think of anything, just like Edison. But for me, I'd like to think the ending of this series is some good fighting (as good as the animation team can make it) and probably we're going to lose everything, the lab and technology and all. What really happens next? We shall see it for ourselves, I guess.
Yeah someone is already getting mad this episode. And thanks to him all this happened.
Thanks, Dr. Hayase lol
Still not spoiling myself of next season Anime just yet. Maybe I'll talk about it next week.


漫画
MANGA
None, apparently. Or that Bungou Stray Dogs and Konobi (that art club) haven't finished airing the Anime so I can read the Manga... Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait.


音楽
This Week on Klassic Note
Nothing in particular came out this week, so... you know. I turned to liver performances of rock festivals. The people there are just... enthusiastic, and aplenty. Hey, I'd like to be in one though, despite my heavily biased tastes haha. Then again, punk rock seems to ring within me now, so SWANKY DANK will get a song from me... provided I can get their new mini-album somehow. We'll see. Talking about getting stuff, I have yet to review Erabareshi's new single which is the ending of Anime Time Travel Shoujo, but then again I don't think I want to listen to it after all. A character album or two is in place for Anime Konobi (that art club above), next week brings Aimer's new album (time travel shoujo ending) and Mikakoshi's new single which I may just reject (sorry it wasn't your fault, girl), and I may just go back to listen to another song from Iwasaki Ai again because of that live video. Then again maybe I should just reject it to make her impression for the year awesome. She's already in the Top 20, I would say.

Note to self: Review wacci's new album. Been rotting in your computer for days now. (Tehe~)


This is it then. Real short, because it will get shorter next week likely if no new manga chapters come along. Then again, I'm in increasingly less of a mood to do this recently, and it's definitely because of my own everyday life (which segment I have not been updating anyways) (I'll think of something lol) and not these stuff above. Anyways, cya guys again then, and until next time... don't think of committing suicide. There's so much to NOT live for.

Okay, I better stop myself before this turns into those "The Statement" posts. Really, go check those out too haha

[P.S. Miyawaki Shion-san you sounded great in that live just now (I only managed to hear the last song she sang though), and even it's practically karaoke (ie. no live band) you still were great.

Yeah, it's too late now, a**holes.]

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #37

My week is still flourishing, so let's finish this quick. Yeah, consumerism is flowing within me right now because I got myself a portable bluetooth speaker to put by my bed. Thanks mom haha


アニメ
ANIME
Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Yes another episode! Now I'm really looking forward to finishing this show so I can read the manga? Yeah, I've been holding back. This episode (10) features a flashback of the couple saving Moeka-chan from an earlier episode, some of the cast failing exams, and a suspicious Kaori-chan. But I must say, Imari-chan is loved by many. So being jealous is quite normal. And honestly saying, I thought Kaori referred to that guy who I don't know the name instead of Imari-chan. Turns out this joke was better haha
P.S. Trying to choose images that doesn't spoil anything. That bed scene I cannot put here haha. Also, Kaori-chan showing images of Usami's depression are amazing. Not spoiling it because they are genuinely funny.
P.P.S. Wow the next episode trailer is all Colette-chan, from what I can hear lol
Don't ask me why it became like this. But Kaori-chan is something. You know, someone interesting lol
Time Travel Shoujo: Now things are getting real exciting. Can't wait? I probably can't too haha. The episode (10) talks about Mikage furthering his search for what the heck Hayase is doing (here I of course refer to the father) and Mari-chan worrying for her dad. Unfortunately Mari-chan doesn't know what happened to the lab (not until the end of this episode) and the father doesn't have a good reason to go back, ie. there's a bigger reason for him to continue what he's doing now, which we don't know. Well, Hayase has to answer to his investor sometime, so hopefully it'll be soon or otherwise his family will get into his trouble. Well, halfway into it already, so let's see what's left to do. I mean, I'll send that motherf**ker back to the past but not teach him to come back lol
P.S. Mikage probably got the answers on how to time travel already. Probably through force. Then again, an understanding may need to come to place, even if it means fighting it out. Can't wait.
P.P.S. Let make this week's image also educational, yes?
To answer Hertz''s question, as mentioned by his wife as Plantago asiatica (left image).
It was used mainly to treat liver disease, which Hertz is NOT suffering from. Sorry, Johanna.

Really, nothing new. You see, when there's no BLEACH... *sob* You will be missed.

This Week on Klassic Note
Let's talk about a couple of releases, shall we? plenty's latest album got another song in the list in view of how depressing my week is at the start (it still is, I just am trying not to remember it), and I really am liking these guys. Probably when their new album appears at the end of the month I'll give a listen. Amamiya Sora's first album came through this week, and it surprisingly sounds a lot like a bunch of abolished Anime songs that are compiled for release. Sorry Ten-chan, it wasn't your fault. Otherwise, you'd be pleased to hear the previews (only two) I heard from TrySail's radio show ended up being what I chose, and another I'll give later on.

FLOWER FLOWER's new single after two years is out, and I almost missed it. Listening to it and watching the music video, I don't get the feels, but I have a feeling someone is singing about her newborn, really. I'll be giving it anyway, since I can't forget about her great voice and I want more of these guys in the future. Hope YUI can put back her depression and move on, yes? (Don't know what happened? Follow account "YUI/FLOWER FLOWER" on Facebook)


This is it then. I'll keep it short, since there isn't much and it's just Anime. I know. This issue is real little. But don't worry, I'm not going to put in more images just to fill it up. No, I won't. Stop looking for it haha. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I'm starting to think if APoL was still what I want to finish writing. I want to. It lives in my mind till date. It was my inspiration. I want to continue it sometime.

...

Bye.

I may be a machine gun, but that doesn't mean everyone else is a bulletproof vest.

Yeah, just... use your words with caution. Sometimes keeping quiet may be better. Sometimes. Because even the strongest cannot take sarcasm. I mean, we're not perfect.

Wednesday 7 September 2016

Does it count as "cheating the system" if you live outside society?

Don't ask me. I'm a member of society, like it or not. Besides, there's no place without society, actually. Unless you count the deserts or icy mountains or certain Arab borders lol

If everybody were to talk about being kind, there wouldn't be talk about money.

Too bad, money conflicts out lives in so many ways, we even forgot that trading actually relies on being kind to each other in order to make and accept offers. Good thing there are still voluntary movements (not organisations) around to make us feel human. Same goes with working for a company. It's all for that paycheck eventually.

The Klassic Note Review 2016.09 Issue 1

I don't take any chances in saying whether this is the only one, but then again it might just be. Besides that, I shall get this done as soon as possible since I have the time now. Well, if I wish for more time left I won't have more anyway.

Okay, let's move on with the review. Aki-chan, you finally came, huh.



音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Toyosaki Aki - walk on Believer [Single]
Limited Edition Regular Edition
(Yeah, you bet I love the close-up. Makes me happy pre-ordering this already xD)

Origin: If you read regularly here, you'll know Aki-chan is a trouper in Klassic Note already, impressing me with one release after another. And since her 3rd album in March this year, she has kicked off another new single yet again. Keeping the active trend, I feel inclined to support her once again, and of course, the songs did not disappoint. At least, not too much.

(1) walk on Believer
Don't ask me why the title is like this, but it's simple in meaning if you think outside the box. This is yet another hearty and lovely song from her in a slower pace, as if it were from a slice-of-life Anime or something. The story depicts (and also in the music video) her enjoying an afternoon in the local cafe. The mood, the feelings, the happiness within, all within this song that I can hear even without the lyrics itself. So I must say, overall it's good. Unfortunately I started from the impressive 90-second preview from her radio show so it turns out not as good. Don't worry because I took a couple more listens before I did this review in a more positive light. Of course there's the usual extended bridge part of the song (instrumentals this time round), but I must say, this is another song in the line of staple relaxed and happy songs from Toyosaki Aki. I like. *laughs*
Rating: 4 stars (Average)

(2) My Curry
Here's where the conversation's at this single, because even the title of this B-side song deserves a lot more attention. Aki-chan has done many to talk about her love for curry (Japanese style, people), she talks a lot about it in her blog, the single special campaign features a prize of (supposedly) her own curry recipe, and she has even cooked in her radio show, live! So yeah, she does have a lot to talk about when it comes to that kinda spicy stuff. On the other hand, the melody isn't that great, and considering it's a short song, it was kind of a disappointment. The preview again is a good cover for what the 3-minute song has to offer, but I'll let it pass. It does resemble a similar feel to another song that is this simple from her other single "Delight" from two years ago. The same guy who also wrote "Osanpo no Uta" and "anniversary"... I guess I could like his compositions somehow. Aki-chan's voice takes all the credit for me giving this one.
Rating: 4 stars (Below Average)

Conclusion: All in all a good single to listen to especially if you like good old Aki-chan (I don't mean that) and are a fan of her. I know I am, and you should listen too. If you liked a simple style of music, these songs may be up your alley for some reason. Combined with Aki-chan's unique cute voice is sure to make you fall for her. The dating plan is all up, gentlemen. Just... buy her new single.


THE PACKAGE
Okay, the package. Dammit again I'm paying for a larger box which makes me pay more for shipping. Really, when shipping is expensive the package is small. Now the reverse happens? Argh. Dammit SonyMusicShop Japan! !@#$%&*?!!
Inside, we get the usual digipak offering which I like, and then again decorated with images I've seen all last week from her homepage. The repeats sure are a lot on this one. Then again I'm just here for the special gift photo, so... haha. Also, what's behind the disc I'll leave it to you to think about it. It's spaghetti, if anyone's wondering, and that's not on the web for viewing.


This is it. I'm off for naps. Dammit. Or maybe I'm just off to reflect about life. It's pivotal right now, so I guess I'll have to really start thinking about it and skipping classes is not an option even today. *laughs* Yeah you bet I did. Cya guys soon.

The Entertainment News 2016 Edition Issue #36

Ugh, my stomach hurts too much not from eating but the thought of just thinking of my future. I've been dabbling a lot of this stuff I cannot put on my portfolio, and too little time being a member of society. Haiz, looks like I may have to bullhead through this one. Not soon though, because this'll take about... nine months at least. *sob*


アニメ
ANIME
Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Yes another episode, huh. Feels like yesterday when the previous episode is out lol. The episode (9) talks about a couple of things. Firstly, that "treasure". It lines up easily with what Imari-chan and Colette-chan and even Tachibana-sensei is finding, and they can't seem to get rid of it. Well, at least there's Uchimaki taking one for the ladies. Then, there's a love triangle. Which is good, almost. That guy I don't remember his name that didn't win Uchimaki is back for another duel, with drawing Usami-chan as the challenge. Well, considering that guy doesn't really know how to draw well (I suppose) and has never met such a friendly girl who just wants some competition for her crush, I guess it's kind of great. Now I want to only see this side of the romance in this show haha. Lastly, Moeka. I'm in for the mother (for obvious reasons, and it's not I'm MILF lol) (don't look that up please), but then kids are great. Especially mature and obedient ones. Well, as obedient as it inhibits their freedom of actions of course. Which reminds us that things don't have to be going serious and that freedom shouldn't be taught with a ruleset, but a whitelist of exclusions instead. Otherwise we'll be dealing with a Moeka who doesn't have to be tied to the mother while she's cooking lol. Also, her sense of superiority is real wrong. That or maybe we should let her go hug the president haha
P.S. Owara Ari for most valuable voice actress this show. Usami-chan just gets cuter with her voice around xD Also, because I can fix an image from the show, this one below is a gift haha
A cute pose you'd do if asked for it in 10 seconds? I can't do it, Usami-chan. you're good.
Time Travel Shoujo: Hey! More Mari-chan! Can they reduce the number of cute girls in Anime soon? lol Anyways, this episode (9). It continues from last week where I talked about Mari-chan coincidentally landing on the location where Bell is to showcase the telephone as persuaded by the father (Mari-chan's), and yes it's just a part of history. Sure is easy to say, but then again there are a lot more things in this story. The truth is out at least within the family (hopefully Mari-chan won't be depressed about the mother not letting her use that teleporter anymore haha), and that finally that Mikage is intending to take action. Well, he kind of did when he told the underling to steal the book anyways, so... yeah. Also, if things are going to get wrecked it better be more than that armillary compass failing, yes? I have a feeling the ending may be too epic for me to comprehend, which may turn out to be just a fight scene or two lol
Please let this be the real future. Please, someone. Then again engineering this will be a b**ch, huh.


漫画
MANGA
Nagasarete Airantou: Okay first things first. There are two Beniyasha. Yeah. Likely the same accomplice and also a novice (I just don't know which one it is), they lead the others to solve the mystery without Ikuto around. Well, Ayane gets most of the credit this time (with a lot of help with her penguin-like sidekick) and we're close to the answer. Will anyone stand a chance against the Beniyasha duo to stop them from stealing the sealed treasure? With Ikuto first on the line, my guess is a no. Then again, we shall see.
P.S. Thanks for the three pages of pure ecchi stuff Takeshi-sensei; it sure was tantalising for me lol
Giraffe porn, everybody. This is so wrong. Just, so wrong...
A Channel: The tests are coming for the girls again, and hey why not form a study group? (For me I just...) And yes, Run-chan is her own weird self, Tooru is just here to supervise her, Nagi-chan gets cozy in Run-chan's house and Yuuko just wants to get cozy with Nagi haha. Hey, it all comes around. Also, let's get a quote fro Tooru-sensei shall we? *laughs*
That didn't work for me, Tooru-sensei. I wish it did... #genius
P.S. "Black coffee", anyone? Lol *searches for name* Kamate-sensei

P.P.S. Maybe I should start naming the chapters already. *thinks for a while* Maybe not.

Tonari no Kashiwagi-san: YES! He has done it! And yes, the reply will unfortunately come next chapter, along with the final volume. Goddammit Shimotsuki-sensei! How can you do this??
On the other hand, the other couple is doing well, seeing as how much Sayaka-chan has done for Kazu-kun is admirable. THAT is love, ladies and gentlemen. And will Kotone get the direct call and agree? We're chapters away from the end (which will probably be next year for me anyway lol), and I'm excited. It's these romance stories that keep me going lol. Hey, mine was 10 years ago and it didn't even enough to write a chapter about it, okay? *sob*
P.S. How perfect is this song's chorus synced perfectly the moment I looked at the confession page of this chapter? It may not be a love song, but still. I love these kinds of coincidences...
You deserve a hug, Sayaka-chan. It was as if she asked for it haha

This Week on Klassic Note
Okay, this week. Aki-chan's new single came later than expected, in review at least, and even later with that pre-order I did last week. (Sucks because I'll miss the special gift campaign I cannot participate in anyway lolol) Then again the single isn't much until I talk about it in the review probably tomorrow if I have the time (you bet I will screw internship haha), so that is that. I also took the liberty to read cinema staff's Tweets and found out they are in a live (which is probably over in Japan by now) with "plenty", and yes that name is a band. Sound a lot like OGRE YOU ASSHOLE if you know who they are, otherwise they maybe a little off, and first impressions are great. Their live performances each year are on YouTube, and I've been reviewing plenty's album from last year in preparation for their latest one releasing end of the month, it seems. We shall see. They're style is pretty good. Most of the time it's the melodies that make me dissatisfied, I guess.

FLOWER FLOWER's new single in like, two years is coming next week, so that's something to look forward to considering I didn't hear anything in preview. Ten-chan's first album also comes next week, and its topic song already got a TV show credit. Yay Ten-chan. But then considering I miss TrySail's radio show real often (they play during Tuesday dinners here man) I have so far only known about two of the new songs available. So we shall see. I like a black box review, along with FLOWER FLOWER too, it seems. In other news, Q-MHz probably screwed up Mikakoshi's new single already (I don't know; it seems different from the album early this year), and the new WORKING!! is getting theme songs the same way they have been done, three girls for opening and three guys for ending. This is going to be great. Can't wait.


This is it then. I'm too moody to think of entertainment now (I'm drowning in YouTube videos and I only watched the Anime episodes today), and until next time... I really need to get my lazy ass off. Seriously. Cya guys then, and until next time... I need someone in my life. And it's definitely not my family. *sigh*

[P.S. Don't miss the Ikimonogakari's new single review, yes? I took time to write it. It was like... 5 minutes lol]
[P.P.S. You're lucky to open some of those images in full size because I forgot to resize them and re-captioning in Blogger is troublesome. Hey, you dealing with a lazy guy here.]

Something is stopping the Darwinian evolution of us humans, and unsurprisingly it's the government.

Otherwise people like me deserve to die. Without a will, or a goal, or a life. You know, just to keep population count and economy going. Selfish, huh. So much natural progression stopped by non-natural means. Such is life on Earth.

Are mistakes gender biased? How come I feel like when I make mistakes I may never be forgotten?

Yes, I am male. I guess it's not just gender biased though. But I may be wrong. How biased are you? You can't be totally unbiased, we know. For example, I'm biased against foreigners in my country. (Lol don't tell them)

The Klassic Note Review 2016.08 Issue 1

Also the only issue for the month. Aki-chan's new single will likely come next month. I mean, it's like 2 days to the end of this month.

Forgive me if you wish to tell me how dumb I am to getting a single with a repeat song, but then again it's like that in Japan. This is their best way to release content. Then again, this song has quite a meaning, as I will mention below.



音楽 The Klassic Note Review
Ikimonogakari - Last Scene/Bokura no Yume [Single]
(Them today, and them before their major debut, if I'm not wrong. I barely even know them back then.)

Origin: Let this be known. I'm doing a commemorating review for one of the honorary artists within Klassic Note. Yes, (album cover, from left to right) Mizuno, Kiyoe, Hotaka, you guys have made it. It's been ten years. Ten years of never ending music, giving us the smiles and emotions through all these years. Well, I didn't join in the full ten years, but I was close. I remember the first time I heard of them is from Anime "BLEACH" (RIP btw) and then it was a lively song. And after listening to a couple more songs and in 2008, the supposed first year in Klassic Note, I've been impressed to the extent that they are one of the "highest contributed artists in Klassic Note", as I used to determine how many songs I've heard form them. This single though, it may not be representative of the fabulous tunes they have provided, but it's one to remember. Remember about half a year ago I was reviewing their 10th year best album (this was their second), and now we are here. moving on as they usually do. Not all melodies can hit, but hey, the mood of the songs are things to remember, and is rather unique in them, I must say.

(1) Last Scene
No, it's not some final performance of any kind. The song itself sure feels like it though. We're presented with a pure Mizuno production here this time round (I know Hotaka, mood swings), and he has always been known to create tunes for many occasions, typically on demand to be honest. This song also took credit to the real life movie from Anime "Shigatsu was Kimi no Uso" (which I'll likely not be watching), but the song is good enough. It may be long, as typical of Ikimonogakari anyway, but the mood of the song is always a hit with me. The lyrics also sing to me of the feelings of love, and losing such love is also typical in the love songs presented by them. If you want another love song from them, then this is right up your alley. The music video compliments the understanding of this song by putting Kiyoe as one of the actors of a love story, even if it's a sad one. Not fantastic, but fan recommended for sure.
Rating: 4 stars (Below Average)

(2) Bokura no Yume [Our Dream]
"[From The Klassic Note Review 2016.04 Issue 2] ...I can accept an average long typical pop style song from them again. I've been giving chances, and this song I cannot miss. Even if the "baby" thing is irritating and it doesn't mean Kiyoe or anything..."
I may have been sarcastic when I was reviewing the 3CD album, but half a year down this was actually, amongst the songs I gave, the best one I ever remembered. Maybe because the 'baby' thing is easy to remember too. Overall a good song, I must say. Then again I've been liking it too much by playing it too often haha
Rating: 4 stars (Above Average)

Conclusion: Overall a decent single. Not their best, but then again it's not their worst, I suppose. I've been listening to them all these years, and I'm glad they reached their 10th year before Klassic Note reaches theirs. This single, probably for fans only. To remember how much we all have loved their songs, and Kiyoe will always be our songbird. To all of Ikimonogakari, this one is for you guys.

-Kaineng, on the Klassic Note


THE PACKAGE
Well, unboxing time. Too bad it's just a single so it probably isn't much. There is another nostalgic image of them inside the booklet, but I guess I'll keep that luxury to myself haha. Otherwise, the Ikimono cards are probably things to live by by now, and... that is it, actually. I've been expecting this for quite a while already, so... I may not be that hyped to when I heard from their music video weeks ago, I guess.


This is it. Stay tuned for the weekend probably (if I can get the delivery going) for Aki-chan's new single. I'll be preparing for it, if you need a hint. I've not even heard the full songs yet. This is another level of fandom in Japanese music already, apart from Ikimono above of course.

Money can't buy you happiness. Not when you don't know happiness to begin with.

This is dark. Real dark. Sorry, I'm rather depressed now, and it's these times I think of the best stuff lol

For me, there exists no love. And thus, any effort for others on me feels like a futile attempt to make me believe there is tender, love and concern.

That's what you'd say if you noticed you screwed up today's schedule and potentially also the next half a year. Well, it isn't a job interview, but if I can't handle this, it's just going to get worse. Reality is harsher than we thought. At least, that's what I thought.

Been thinking about life recently. Totally because there's internship coming my way and I'm nowhere in it yet. That's the problem. Okay, let's move on. *laughs*


アニメ
ANIME
Kono Bijutsu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Another week, another episode. Hey, who says they can't advance the romance in this slice-of-life show?
The episode (8) starts with a mysterious other room of the Art Club where it hosts its storage. Rather unknown to the club besides the President, it comes with a very rusty sliding door as the entrance. And yes, like typical romance shows, Usami and Uchimaki must be stuck in there in the evening of the school day. Hey, it's a roller coaster for Usami, but not for Uchimaki and his 2D wife. That wife can do amazing things, like shining out of its eyes (I wish it'd be somewhere else, but...) (lol) and scaring the teacher scouting around at night (lolol). Also, Imari-san came over (I don't know why she isn't in this club yet though) and apparently ended up in a treasure hunt. Unfortunately the "treasure" isn't something great even though it's of good reason why it is hidden this well, but yes, they're talking about that Hentai magazine next week too haha
P.S. I can post as many images as I want because I have the inner urge (lol Colette listening to Sumipe songs), but I shall refrain myself because jokes are to be remembered. And shared of course. That's why there's one lol
The face when you notice you potentially have to spend the night with that someone.
(I know, Usami-san. Rabbits. I know.)
Time Travel Shoujo: Hey, more development! Now we're talking about it. This episode (8) brings a summer episode. Come on, you know it's coming. Rather than be disappointed about the lack of bikini (Talking about you, Mari-chan), we focus on the prescence of the bad guys. Yes, they are bad now because someone's trying to steal the book, and the others are setting up surveillance in the lab as everyone is enjoying themselves in the beach. And yes, Mari-chan had to send herself back to the past, with good hope that Waka-chan and Mari-chan's younger sister is behind her and that Mari-chan probably will go to the past to meet the father and Graham Bell in the exhibition so that telephony can become a reality in the future and Mari can explain things to her father in today's time. See? This show is too easy to read. Hopefully everything will come together so that all the guys can summon their inner Bruce Lee and have a good fight out on whether... I mean, science does somehow get in the way of everything. Even if I tell you Mari's father is probably finding out the technology that his daughter is making int he future? Haha this show has plenty to uncover, so hold your breath until then, yes?
P.S. Man, that fence jumping in the opening theme, Shun-nii. I bet that will make me super cool haha. But I swear if I try to jump over any fence I'll get caught haha (No I'm not talking about Pokemon GO lol)
YES! *laughs*
(Yeah why the hell Mari-chan is in that swimsuit? Ugh...)


漫画
MANGA
A Channel: Hey, another chapter. This everyday life thing sure is fun haha. Tooru visits (*searches for name* Ok I got it lol) Yuuko's house where her sister Kei starts getting worried as how Tooru gets worried of (*searches for name again* Dammit this once in a blue moon release...) Run-chan expanding her social circle. But then again, considering I'm male and I also worry, then this shouldn't be abnormal. *laughs*
Yuuko said Tooru hasn't been smiling in a while, so here it is.
(The right was Kei-chan btw)
Kuroshitsuji: Another chapter leading to the intentions of the ball. Then again we get half the chapter a recall to how the Phantomhive hall came to be in like, two weeks. That, and the reapers have been investigating. We're introduced to fundamental blood types with that Green Witch, and then someone here may have known who's really behind all this. It may be a farce, but it's not going to cover the truth for long, I guess.
You may not recognise half of them, but after they transform you'll recognise none haha
Nagasarete Airantou: Yeah, even I've lost direction on where this is at already. The most I can remember is the guys on the island are battling Beniyasha, and is, if you didn't know, just a disguised mother of Shinobu (the girl obsessed with technology) so she can write her next novel lol. Other than that, they are close to solving the mystery, and amongst the nosebleeding and panties and partially nude girls, Ikuto has prevailed (somehow) and given the last clue. Well, it'll not be out until I know of the next chapter (it's taking its time for sure), but little do I notice that I've actually reached the 24th volume of this series. Wow. Now to catch up to Seitokai Yakuindomo too; that manga also is long as hell too.
P.S. Now I need to find a clean image to put in this post. Sure is tough for this manga lol
Sorry for spoilers, or otherwise you'll be seeing panties lol
(Kind of shows Beniyasha's ruthless yet kind side, you see)

This Week on Klassic Note
Another week in (I know, I used these phrases a lot as intro) Klassic Note, another bunch of releases. Ikimonogakari's new single got the flag of approval, but so is also Aki-chan's new single due next week, but we'll talk about that a little later. This week also brings a couple more releases which I swear I didn't remember until this week lol. AOP's new single for the Anime "Time Travel Shoujo" isn't half bad, so that's good news because I don't think I want to give the ending theme song anyway haha. Cocco's new album in two years (which explains why I don't even know her in the first place) after her performance of its topic song in TV when I just wanted some performance from Aimer (I told you it's a long story) left an impression, and I'm here to give a song or two. Actually, I gave three. Hey, she can write songs despite her age, you know. (Not guessing it btw, and neither should you) I'm likely giving the thumbs up for (because "7!!" looks stupid in text) Nanae's new single topic song because it's summer (still), and I've gotten myself some more live performance videos so I shall see if I can give a couple more songs or not.

Next week brings us the long awaited (now that it is) Toyosaki Aki's new single, in which this and the reviews for both singles (refer above paragraph) will likely be done during next week. I'll do it, screw school haha. More previews of songs have also surfaced, including Amamiya "Ten-chan" Sora's first album topic song "Absolute BLUE" (which sounds freaking cool btw), Numakura Manami's solo debut song (that scream man; the last time I heard one was Yocchan), and many else that I probably forgot lol. Anyways, I see a great next month in front of us, not forgetting I still can source for new songs, so that's great. Adding on, the weekend of Anisama (if you didn't know what it is) brings a lot of great performances from Tomacchan, Ayahi-chan, TrySail and news that will shock me. Well, we have confirmation now, so that's great. I really wonder what'll Asakura "Mocho" Momo sing in an Anime movie insert song.... Hey, you tell me.



That's it, if I didn't forget. Maybe next time I need to pre-record things that happen in the world of Klassic Note too already haha. (lol "world") Okay, I guess I need to go rest now. Well, mentally because I can't take it the moment I leave my comfort zone. Well, not for music and entertainment though. Cya guys next week, and until then... don't think I forgot about APoL. It's different from getting a job, but this project is eternal. I'm determined to complete it somehow.

Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Wow, what an episode (7). Yeah, I've been teased of the new character in the Anime, but then he's spewing a whole lot of trash (get it?), and yes, we never got to know his name. And guess what? I don't even want to find out! *laughs hard* That's the joke that is infused in this show, and yes it's deserving of my attention at least. This idiot spikes Usami-chan off and thus besides Yumeko-sensei's encouragement becomes the basis for her and Uchimaki-kun to participate the next competition with another Anime wife. The details I shall not explain, but yeah, they won haha. Second half is close to Colette-chan, and about future occupations apparently. I don't know much to say about this (I didn't have to fill in one of them anyway haha), but then again Imari-chan may have helped out there somehow, I guess. Seriously, she can be an actor or even a cosplayer if that is all she can do haha
P.S. If you laughed as hard as the Club President and Colette-chan when someone said "wife", you have the potential to enjoy this show, if you know what I mean.
P.P.S. ONE IS NOT ENOUGH THIS WEEK SO I PUT TWO! YES! (Audience: Only this week?)
Best image of the episode. I need to possess such enthusiasm in studying lol
Either Usami likes flashing her panties a lot, or Uchimaki-kun is dense. About 3D girls.
(He's like, "I don't even want to see it!")
Time Travel Shoujo: The genius amongst us has been revealed. I didn't mean to get excited over this, but yes, now we know why Mari-chan is the main girl in this show. *laughs*
The episode (7) brings us back to another time, but with certain control. Shun has understood and is able to operate the time travelling machine, and this brings us another moment of Mari-chan and her father, who apparently is selling stuff in the past? Not that, but he is fixing mistakes he done with relation to people in the past (in this case Morse) because he screwed it up? Of course, it might be more than that, but it seems like Shun has found it out, and is encouraging the depressed-over-her-test-results Mari-chan to not give up. (No spoilers here, I assure you) The "bad guys" haven't found a way to get into the lab yet which is good news, and the father has no intention to come back. To conclude, I have noticed that the father has done two major mistakes before his time travelling trips and maybe doing it because of either or both reasons. He should have (1) not fired all his lab staff before boarding on such a trip because no one will be managing it (then again it's some secret too so...) and (2) he should hire someone to do so, which in this case Shun has done a great job I must say. The likely chance the father and Shun know the same thing (no spoilers, I promise), and that'll explain a lot of the father's intentions. Stay tuned for more, because I'm hyped up for this show too. The ending really is going to be a game changer here, really.
P.S. Yes Fuuta, we know how you got 80 on that test. Waka-chan wasn't revising with Mari-chan. No wonder you freaking passed you lucky bastard haha. Then again Mari-chan doesn't need help?
The expressions in this show are fantastic. Loving Aki-chan more every episode, really.
BTW this is Mari-chan's "you're lying" face.

BLEACH: Wow. The ten-year-later thing keeps on giving. A lot of weird stuff, apparently. (I'm going to use the word "apparently" a lot of times so listen up!) Apparently (you see?), it's been ten years too in the human world. And yes, Soul Society too. What we do not know of are supposedly, Ichigo and Orihime are married! And had a kid!! Same with Renji and Rukia!?? And she's a shinigami apprentice already?? OMG what the heck is happening right now... So Kubo gave us an ending most would likely expect but not me (no really, not me), and what a lead up to it. Problem is, since it's the last chapter (#BLEACHRIP) we'll never know one thing: Is Ichigo's kid some soul entity too? Well, what we do know from the chapter are that there's a 13th squad captain that is out (which is likely Rukia if anyone is not guessing), Soul Society is definitely open to souls visiting humans (to Ichigo's house at least), and yes, the next generation is a thing. It's unlikely Kubo will continue the adventures of wacky Abarai Ichika (which sounds totally cool) and itchy-handed Kusosaki Kazui (which sounds totally uncool haha) but hey, there's the ending. It'll probably take a lot to take it all in, but there's more news. A live action movie is in production as hinted previously and announced this chapter, and will be out 2018. I don't know how far this is going to go, but then if it is we shall see how great it goes.
She's a wily one, that Ichika-chan.
(I can't put myself to crop anything else, so something this funny would do)
And thanks again Kubo and BLEACH, for giving many years of joy. It has been a ride. -Kaineng
P.S. I WANT MY ANIME BACK!! Someone owes us a final arc season.
P.P.S. After a weekend of reading, I've found out a lot more. That I've been wrong, and even more puzzled to the stuff that has not been explained, like the fate of Zero Division of even the linchpin that is the Soul King. Well if we assume it has always been alive then I guess someone being alive is keeping the worlds stable, I guess.

This Week on Klassic Note
This week brings quite a couple of releases worth mentioning. Either that or I didn't bother to find out new tunes anyway haha. Aimer's new single was okay, but not as I expected (I mean, the previous one I reviewed on May seems better), but I'll give a take on her new album when it gets releases next month. I've decided to give her a chance after like, 5 years now. Also, her first TV appearance sure is great. I'm just glad I'm not shocked by her appearance. No, she's fine. Also learnt quite a lot about how her voice came to be. I've taken some time to listen to LuckLife's 2nd single till date (at least, major debut) and I'm really impressed. Now I really want them to appear again in that Anime they major debuted in *wink* next season *wink*. Along with the TV appearance of Aimer I've exposed myself to another song, and yes, I most likely will give a listen to Cocco's next album when it comes out. I just found the new topic song most impressive.

Next week brings Ikimono's new double A-side single (I have a feeling I want to reject it lol) and AoP's new single from that Anime above, and I think I'll like the girls. Well, I mean, the songs. I'm not interested in large groups of females. I'm not a pimp haha


This is it I guess. I mean, I'm lazy to think right now. I need a break from all the studying (that I've been NOT doing haha), but then again I should be more proactive. I guess it's that group project that's getting in my way lol. Cya guys next week, and until next time... damn the manga section is going to feel a whole lot emptier without the weekly series. *sob*

If your chances are close to zero, then why don't you try it? #effort

I don't normally post this here (in social media typically), but besides the obvious logic of this statement it's also in sarcasm because doing it shows intention of effort, right? Just because you know no help is needed of others doesn't mean you don't help them, yes?

Wednesday 17 August 2016

Unlike computers, we know how to analyse and provide solution cases to all questions. So why aren't we assuring solutions to others, even if it means little to all of us?

Thinking on a bus why the bus driver can explain why the doors aren't open even though he thinks it is full. If you took enough buses in your life you'll get what I mean.

It's another week, it's another week of... everything, it seems. Dad's questioning my presence at home instead of school (no I'm not skipping it), I'm hooked to more video games (well only one actually), and I can't stop myself from not listening to new songs. Okay, let's move on haha


アニメ
ANIME
Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: And that's why you shouldn't just watch using a 3-episode rule. Introducing a new character now, halfway into the series? I don't know about that.
The episode (6) brings us the last of the main characters, Imari Maria. I mean, they mentioned enough of her name I can write it down without referring to the video again. (Then again I saw her name coming from the website already lol) And yes, this one is special because she can communicate with the blockhead that is Uchimaki, and yes, she is a "Manga and stuff" lover. Perhaps a little too much, really. I just didn't think using too much Anime quotes in real life will shock a kid enough to let go of his balloon haha. Anyways, this is going to spice up the Usami-Uchimaki relationship, and that's actually the point, and I guess I can like it, just like Usami will like Imari-chan too. Yes, Uchimaki is solid as a rock. <Insert boob squeeze image here> (You know I won't) (No not even at the end of this post) But then that's the point; this is a comedy slice-of-life. And unless you're WORKING!!, no one will go out dating. Then again, the jokes are fabulous as usual, and I had a good laugh. If Imigimuru-sensei wrote Usami's imagination about Uchimaki piggybacking Imari, that is in the animation's credit for making it awesome haha. But yeah, I have a feeling Usami is thinking too much into it, just like how any of them will ever see her underskirt when Maria just jumps to the tree basically showing her panties to even that kid. *laughs* Really, the jokes never end with this cast of characters. And truly, this show really does have a problem. And I won't say "Art Club" until Imari-chan joins it. Which is about like, next episode I suppose lol
P.S. Didn't notice but Touyama Nao sounds so like Mikakoshi. Don't mind me girls, just an opinion.
P.P.S. Damn I miss the mother already *laughs* And I almost misspelt (and fixed) the title again. Thanks, Moeka-chan.
This must be the animation team's laziest drawing ever lol
Time Travel Shoujo: And yes, here is another episode of someone feeling lost. And this time, it's Waka-chan. The episode (6) just takes it a step further to ridicule Faraday to be stealing the experiment from his superior without agreement, and yes it's not going well for him. Unfortunately, it's worse for Waka-chan, but then not really. Mari-chan just forgot somehow after like, 3 episodes? Yeah, she didn't tell Shun what her father told her. Then again, all is well again, I guess, and on the antagonists' side, we have more info. Now about a book, that doesn't lose its text after time travel now. Oh well, all this sounds absurd up till now, and will only likely be resolved within the last 2 episodes, so I'll just enjoy the fun in the meantime, yes?
P.S. Only in Anime will Aki-chan sound like the best friend to care for you ever. *laughs*
There's a lot of crying all episode, so I picked the best one.
(Mina-chan you're great at "crying" xD)


漫画
MANGA
Tonari no Kashiwagi-san: Even though the exciting part is next chapter (probably), but this one has already made its impact. The guys had Christmas celebrations also in conjunction of sending Tina-chan back home to Germany, but then again it was fun. (Seriously I want to see Anime adaptation so they can make one page of the manga awesome haha) But of course, gifts. And Tina-chan may not want to go home, Kou definitely will make her regret the decision. It's real close to proposal, but you know, it's just a ring. He didn't emphasise on anything. Not yet, anyway. Nonetheless, two more couples are left on this wonderful day in Japan (you know, Christmas is A THING in Japan), so that's going to make the next chapter a whole lot more interesting. Yuuto is picking up his courage from the ground, so we may be in for something. I'm looking forward to (next month) it already.
All good things must come to an end, Tina-chan. So is this story lol
Also, no BLEACH. For the last time probably, no last chapter. Yet.

This Week on Klassic Note
After some awakening from the past year songs of Klassic Note (yeah they sounded out to me lol) and continuing my choices for giving new songs, I've finally settled on how many I would be giving after all. nano.RIPE's new single makes me miss all of her songs till this year, Goose house's new single is good enough I just love the chorus (both their singing and the main part of the song), I picked up THE ORAL CIGARETTES' new single to give just one song which is not the first one on the list, and instead of SHISHAMO I gave another song from that Shin Rizumu's debut album.

There may not be much this week, and I have been hesitating in giving songs this week besides the above early this week, then again I've been listening to future releases. Aimer's new single has more potential than her previous one that I missed, wacci (remember KimiUso?) is releasing their album at the end of the month so I'll listen to the released new single until then, Aki-chan's new single previews sound like when I heard Mina-chan's earlier this year (a hit and a miss), and Ikimonogakari's new song will make a huge difference to when I'll be doing my next review. We shall see about that last one, though. It isn't that impressive, honestly. Also, THE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE is following wacci's approach by releasing a single (in this case digital only) and an album later in the year, and I think I'm enjoying it till now. Hey, who says there aren't songs to listen this month?


This is it then. I feel tired typing using my nails on a sticky keyboard (like, literally), so I better finish this quick to I can clean things up. (Audience: What the hell is you room like anyway?) Seirously, you don't want to know what's in my room. Anyways, cya guys till next week, and until then... the Olympics? Fiji isn't the only country grabbing their gold medal this week. *laughs*

[P.S.: No I'm not a citizen of Fiji lol. And yes, it isn't pictures of women I like haha. I'm still getting used to not typing this last part.]

That's why we cannot have second chances. We'll never do our best in the first then.

That's just me, guess. But then again most things in life don't hold a second chance. And that's bad for me, I guess. Sometimes, it's a lack of knowledge that can ruin everything, huh. Yeah, I was talking about my grades haha

Thursday 11 August 2016

The more biased we are, the less we can enjoy entertainment.

Just came to me just now. But then again it depends on what you watch. Politically incorrect stuff is one thing, sacrificing any aspect of emotion for fulfilment is another. No wonder everyone wants a piece of the entertainment industry.

Wednesday 10 August 2016

I've done enough complaining about the real world already. I don't want to continue the criticism in the virtual world that is the Internet.

Real sad to see one comment that is positive and immediately there's one who received domestic abuse last night lol. Nonetheless, I'm an honest person, and I only complain within the family and people who they know me, but the Internet, man, it's harsh.

Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Training myself to type the title of this show so I don't spell "Bijitsubu" wrongly like Moeka-chan and spell "Mondai" like "Monday". Spelling man, it's a curse.
Okay, this week's episode (5). I took the effort to watch it on a Friday than my scheduled Saturday night (yes there is such a thing) the day after it airs because I can't wait. Can't tell when's the last time I did that, but it's partly due to the manga I've read earlier this week too. (spoilers not below) Then again, watching Colette-chan is a joy (first half of the episode is from the manga BTW), and yeah, it's summer, and they need a pool scene, and Imigimuru-sensei didn't write one, so you know, Anime fillers? It's fine. Tachibana-sensei wasn't in it so it's fine lol.
Because Random Curiosity wasn't doing it. Fanservice shot!
(Man, many years ago I was serving these like hotcakes...)
Time Travel Shoujo: Hey, and finally four episodes, we have our first exception. Yes, that time travel machine has spoken.
The episode (5) talks about Waka-chan (I know), but also the fact from when she took one of the compasses that Mari-chan had, and this time, travelled back to the past with her. Problem now is that Mari is the only one who came back. Yeah, sounds ridiculous, and should have happened weeks ago, but hey, finally it happened. Another thing worth mentioning in this (educational) episode is that Hayase-sensei (Mari's father) isn't the only one doing this experiment, and has been led out my a compulsive gambler of a research assistant. What a rat, right? Oh well, but now we know of something a little more, and that the initial experiments the man mentioned resemble a futuristic experiment of time travel we may be familiar with. Well, if you've watched enough (or the right) Anime, that is. Anyways, this is getting better, and I can't say how good this show is going to get, making simple things (ridiculous though) dragged out yet exciting, so that's good news for this show. I'll be looking forward to what happens to Waka-chan. Unlike Mari, she is not taking this easy.
They make Mina-chan cry and Aki-chan shocked. I cannot ask more from this show lol

漫画
MANGA
Kono Bijutsubu ni wa Mondai ga Aru!: Well I read on too much... Damn that Twitter account I thought it was safe to read on lol.
Anyways, I read till Chapter 10, and then was spoiled at Chapter 11, which is already part of the episode above (this was before I watched it BTW), so that's bad. Otherwise, you'd be glad to know the show actually follows the manga pretty well, maybe some arranging, some additions (Colette-chan's imagination of her abduction is extra) and such, but then overall does bring out the general mood of the light-hearted show well. Problem is I may be spoiled of future episodes too, because some involve seasons (there was a cold weather chapter in there somewhere), and some involve a ridiculously hilarious Colette-chan, which will no doubt spoil my first impression from the show if any of these was in it.
Laughed too hard on this one. #Picasso
BLEACH: Okay, second last chapter already. Mind blown right now, pretty much. *sob* And also this.
The chapter? It's been ten years. WTF? If you didn't ask yourself why so, you've not been reading the last chapter. Problem then is what the hell happened shortly after? Well, in a perspective 10 years later which Kubo-sensei forcefully led us to believe, some of them are alive (I believe Kensei is not dead dead, for sure), some of them are in a different position, not to mention everyone gathering for one of the few events that require every captains' presence: The declaration of a captain. And guess what? Rukia finally got up the ranks as one of them. The last part of the chapter gave us one last hint as to what might be happening to everyone else not mentioned in this chapter, and I believe that may not tell us much. Fortunately, it has been announced that there are extras (I supposed released after next week's chapter) and an announcement or perhaps another publication that will dictate everything else we all want to know. Hey, I'm not taking "10 years later" as a conclusion to a long-run story, Kubo. You better make this right.
Yeah Kenpachi; with Yachiru, everyone was lost. Now without, it's just one less person lol
P.S. The biggest question from me thinking through the past week ever since I saw last week's chapter is what will happen to the spiritual world? I'll keep it short here, but suffice it to say if you recall, the Spirit King is a linchpin to the world, and without it the world will not exist. After it was absorbed, the main villian is now killed by our main protagonist (which is absent from this chapter) some time ago. So why? How  has the world stayed put in the 10 years, just as Kyoraku mentioned whilst talking to Ukitake's grave? This, I have no idea. My deduction before reading this second last chapter is perhaps someone is now the core to the world, and thus needs a "successor". If it's not that trace of reiatsu Akon found, then it's going to be Ichigo. Something tells me I'm not getting my answer next week. *sigh*
Dagashi Kashi: Looks like the usual guy didn't continue, so I just switched to another one lol
The chapters. *laughs* I'm reminded of the episodes of Anime I've enjoyed, from the father wanting to be an online content creator (I don't want to promote G***** lol) to BDSM Fugashi to someone playing doctor. All these memories... even they have become mine. Man, Kotoyama-sensei, you know how to do your manga.
I'm not going to spoil anyone for "what he's done" but you can find out what happened haha



音楽
This Week on Klassic Note
Well, giving songs this week has been a joy. Well, mostly because of a rock festival video (FYI it's "VIVA LA ROCK 2016 Day1")I got my hands on. Thanks to it, a total of four new artists have entered Klassic Note, and if you have noticed who they are on my Twitter account then this shouldn't surprise you. Yogee New Waves sound good with just one song apparently (their whole album isn't much), also with LILI LIMIT's latest album, and yes, congrats on them on their major debut. Just... no more free music videos. Goddamn S*** M****

Shin Rhythm's lead song till date had great reception online so that should get you interested, and SHISHAMO's 1st and 3rd albums make them sound like the next Chatmonchy. Hey, I mean, an alternative. No one can replace Eriko-chan in her compositions, really. Besides, they sound more... forced, direct, and a whole less sad. They aren't apparently. That's enough praise/criticism of them already, yes?

With other releases from familiar artists, it's a different story though. THE ORAL CIGARETTES' new single is hard to give after what I've heard from them last year (I miss songs with meaningful lyrics, if you know what I mean) (I doubt so haha), Goose house's new single is nothing but good besides the fact that they are singing in chorus beautifully to a less than impressive song, which is their strength, by the way. (Yes I know it releases next week, but still) nano.RIPE's new single makes me miss their style, but I don't know how to give it too. Well, these guys will get another week on the waiting list (besides the first in the paragraph) probably, so I'll see about it.

In more releases, Flower Flower and Aqua Timez have confirmed their new singles (glad that YUI is back) slated for next month, and yes I didn't forget: Uesaka Sumire's new single is hard. Real hard. Now even Time Travel Shoujo's ending theme song is a better choice. Yeah, sorry Sumipe. Klassic Note is all about music, not your image of weird tunes.


This is it I guess. Heck a lot to cover for a week of joy before my new school semester starts. Then again it starts with a couple of holidays so that's just to make me get used to doing something again after a lot of doing nothing lol. Nonetheless, I have failed to deliver APoL's next chapter, and if anyone is excited about it, here's an apology from me (to myself, probably lol) because I cannot put my a** to write a novel now. Cya guys next week, and until next time... let me see if I can keep this up. The one-image-per-review thing above.

1st generation: "I know this is just fantasy."
2nd generation: "I want to turn this into reality."
3rd generation: "I can't wait to see this happen."

Been watching some superhero stories just now, and linked them to those who live in arms with crime and terrorism. They think they're the heroes. I don't think any of us are.
