So what, I must have qualities that society likes? Isn't that just blatantly lying to yourself?

Yeah, talking about job interviews. And of course life in general. Although I'd recommend you to not always be yourself since in a society we have to always strive to please someone. You'll be aware of that somehow.

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #27

Hey guys, welcome back. This week I'll be talking about the new Anime which are aired this week for the new season, so be sure to check those out. Otherwise... if you're here to know about my life I seriously don't think my boring life will interest you that much. Army life is boring anyway so no thanks haha




アニメ BANANA FISH
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the original work back in 1998, Banana Fish tells about a... mysterious code which arose in war times and is apparently uncontrollably taking peoples' lives. I'll give a bit more context before we get into the episode itself because there is quite some stuff we can talk about here. Origin for this show's hype (well, hyped at least from after I've watched this) came from dear Komatsu Mikako because she knows of the original manga. More on that later but she seems hyped, and... for me personally I see the story has potential and I'm watching this because I want to see for myself less of the plot because I did get to read a chapter of the manga beforehand but more of production, because as rough as the context can be on like, historical gang-filled America where they use English on a Japanese show, this one was real impressive. The first episode (#BANANAFISH01) talks about a little on the origin story, where Ash and his buddies were resting in wartimes and are attacked by their comrade, blurting out the code "BANANA FISH" between his teeth. Years later after war ended, this has since appeared multiple times as Ash rises up as a local gang leader, seeing people die while uttering the code too. Investigations on this aren't active at this point as he still has to deal with his everyday problems with his stepdad Dino, his subordinates who might not listen to him, and... a photographer duo from Japan? Yeah, well this is Ash's way of keeping his distance with the police, so it makes sense for that 17 year old kid Eiji to exist in this show to say the least. The general story for context now is where (though not explicitly stated in the Anime itself) Ash manages to steal a necklace with a bottle full of powder from his father, which of course is so important the dad wants to beat the shit out of him to ask where it went, tasked this to Marvin the surbordinate which then associated himself with Arthur to take the boy down. Hey, all in the day's work in a gang from America haha. All in all, the show does give promise in terms of production, from cast (all sound the same and no girls so...) to animation (the camera angles and detail in drawing is really good) and everything in between despite the slight lack of music at the right times, this proves to be the biggest comeback for an anniversary remake of the story yet. I might just hang out (pun not intended) for a couple of rounds (pun not intended) to see if I can like it, but for now I'll hold back. The story has got me hooked though to say the least, so I'll see what happens.
I appreciate the detail and smoothness in animation, MAPPA.
P.S. In case you wonder, I read the first chapter of the manga only, which vaguely translates to be only remembering the plot from the start to probably about where Arthur and Marvin are meeting up in the bar against Ash. In perspective that's about half this episode only. I know no more.

アニメ Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro
Once again, WHY DOES THIS GET FULL EPISODES BUT FUMIKIRI JIKAN GETS THREE MINUTES??? WHAT THE F-
Somehow it's some f**ked up like if your neighbourhood is stopping you in every way possible to let you go your usual route to school, but yeah, I'll blame the girl too lol. The first episode (#ChioChan01) of this Nichijou-level comedy series surrounds you with just one objective: going to school. Hey, simple premise for a story, right? Must be boring, right? YOU ARE DAMN WRONG. With mysteries on how she got herself into any predicament and solutions which will blow your mind, there is entertainment at every corner (pun intended) on Chio-chan's road to school. I mean, what else can go wrong, right? The episode shows us two examples in which I'll not extrapolate to explain everything, but I'll talk in general on what happened instead. (The details in this show are too much so I'll leave the spoilers for you guys to watch) Firstly, road construction. Well, assuming you left the house on time to give some leeway so that things happen you can go to school on time (Wait, you guys don't do that???), you should have time to take the detour as needed to go to school. That is, if you're not Chio-chan. Here's where the assumptions get thrown into the dustbin (more on that later), but suffice it to say she overslept (she's a gamer btw) and dozed off while wearing her shoes at the front porch (lol), and... now she gotta find a way to compensate for that time. So yeah, what would you do? I mean, we would likely run through the detour at this point, but no, it's Chio-chan we're talking about here. In the most ingenious way possible, she thinks that climbing up the nearly telephone pole to the roof is the best way to get past... everything. The roadblock, people (she introvert btw), boob physics lol, problems... everything. And you know, things happened along the way which you must check it out yourself, but all in all this is a good introduction to the person she is. Unfortunately she is probably still shamed from (spoiler alert) walking out of a love hotel lol, but yeah, she wasn't late. That, I can feel you, girl. I'm afraid to be late for school too. Nothing to do with standing with delinquents, but yeah, the fear. The other half of the episode introduces us to the next main character Hoshikawa Hosokawa, and in all the impossible story routes possible to be taken, she waves hello to the main girl. Yeah, she. The one famous girl in class. I mean, I know it's for dramatic effect, but sure, Chio-chan gets a new friend. From here we can see her awkwardness sprouting from her introverted personality from playing assassin video games all day (you wished the Creed was this cool lol), and how she tries to avoid awkward conversations and escapes human contact even if people genuinely want to go to school with her. I mean, all you have to do (if you're normal like the rest of us) is to have manners and formality. Start with "Why did you call out to me?" (it may be because of the love hotel image but whatever) would be the easiest I can think of, but hey not to worry, this is not Takagi-san so I won't be doing advisories here. Or maybe I should. I'll think about it. This show is too god to not comment. Production wise, the opening theme blew my mind as much as the rest of the episode did (thanks for the safe Rock music tunes Kadokawa), once again Oozora Naomi who voiced Chio-chan did wonderful in almost every scenario I can think of (I laughed the hardest at her voicing where the old man is brushing his teeth lmao), and the only downside I can think of besides hearing lengthy backstories is the animation is not doing enough justice for the acting. I know about the sweat and garbage stuff flying in slow motion (lol), but I'm talking about the rest. The normal stuff, which can be improved. But that can be forgiven, for this is going to be the best show I'm into this season. See how long I've written this already? You know it's going to be good. If you like ridiculous stories coupled with some level of comedy and entertainment, this is the show. Naomi-chan, you're going to be famous this year, I swear. *laughs*
NAILED IT haha what COULD have happened thanks sensei
Reminds me of a certain preconstruct mechanism in "Detroit: Become Human" lol
P.S. I like how they stop immediately when people saw the love hotel image on their phones because you know, just get the front part where Chio-chan thinks she's climbing down but photoshop this one in and that's it haha the production team is just lazy
P.P.S. Once again because I know I'll be scolded by mentioning it too much, but Oozora Naomi-chan acting as a Tokyo-accented character is as rare as it is impressive. Her voice is distinctive even without her native accent. She's from Osaka btw
[CELEBRATING THE FIRST EPISODE! OMAKE GIFS COMING RIGHT UP!!]
At least she got some shame haha
We playing strategic RPG or something? lol
[WTF IS WITH THE PARKOUR lmao that's the trailer for the theme song releases btw]

アニメ Hataraku Saibou
So... when do you think the sex episode is coming? lmao
So this is a love story between a red blood cell and a white blood cell... okay I'm joking this is dumb haha. Let's talk about the series in itself. As expected the story is really technical terms heavy, but thank goodness to their simplifications (ie. "in other words") I might not hate this show. This Anime talks about the biggest thing that will make my goosebumps come back every time I watch this: the human body. Sorry for being such a hater for human biology but yes, I hate it. Not at least after I've watched this show, because to be honest, I enjoyed it. The first episode (#HatarakuSaibou01) gives some light content by bringing an introduction to many things happening inside the human body, as detailed as they can make it without boring us to death, literally. We start with a new(?) or more likely lost red blood cell (voiced by the lovely Hanazawa Kana-chan) delivering stuff to various parts of the human body. And by the way if you catch no ball (or blood cell) in any of what I'm saying please go back to like, elementary school science, thanks. A recent germ infection caught on the body, and considering the body itself is probably lacking in white blood cells who are the immunity of your body system, they had to call in special forces. Thankfully through the brains(?) of the cells they work together to eliminate the last of those screwed up things in their world. So yeah, biology as you nerds like it. Happy? *laughs* Production wise thanks Aniplex for making the show awesome overall, the theme songs aren't as deterring as I thought (thanks to ClariS for the ending theme btw), and... I had a good laugh. Since I enjoyed the show, I may just stay to watch a couple of episodes considering this feels more like an educational show than a comedy one, but I beg to differ. They are trying to make this fun for everyone to watch, and I appreciate the effort. Other than that, there's cute stuff once in a while lol, and you already know I'll be giving this show chance the moment you put the most popular female voice actress in as the main girl haha
When you got found out by your parents for doing something private lol
(That's the germ btw)
P.S. But seriously lmao the sneeze is a rocket haha nice but what happens when you get pollination in your nose though would you be firing rockets as often as North Korea? BOOM *drops dead*

漫画 Nagasarete Airantou
So... the new chapter (161) is a love story between the sister Misaki and Genjuumaru that troublemaker?? Haha besides summarising the chapter, it would seem that past events do have their consequences, as Ikuto talks about how his sister is constantly clinging onto animals in the island because they are too cute (they are btw) and hugging them with overflowing affection (hey can I get some love too? lol) and... I think the animals are scared of her now. Even the island's troublemaker may also hate her too. Maybe. That or it now has a regular target to prank on, which will be a good thing since it'll ensure the safety of the village as it's being distracted by the half-youkai who can lock on to his presence despite all its disguises. That seaweed though... Ikuto is not having it to say the least haha
This chapter in a nutshell haha


音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Since I'm in camp all day I only have my bus trips to review a couple of albums this week. Non Stop Rabbit's debut album is rather disappointing considering the topic song is okay, but now I don't even want to give them anymore. Reason is mainly because they, unlike many new artists like them, are not using studio production to their advantage by making it sound a little different thus a little more attractive to the listener. THE ORAL CIGARETTES is a good example of such a thing, and (the last of) Chatmonchy is a negative example. Sunrise In My Attache Case's new mini-album on the other hand is not a disappointment as I quickly found myself immersed in the English songs or even Japanese songs with simpler melodies (I mean, they gotta avoid that simple melody copyright) and at this point I think I made my point on Twitter how good it is with enough attention from their band members. I think I'm happy with that. The new songs, not the social media attention haha. I mean, if you want to follow them, retweet this tweet and change your Twitter avatar to their album cover for another week you might get a free T-shirt so don't say I didn't inform you about that you got until the 15th haha. But seriously man give them a listen. For me it's just a break from listening to those... J-Pop songs that makes me want to throw up lol

Next week brings us a whole set of releases which if I remember makes me a genius. *refers to Excel document* miwa's best album after 8 years of releases will be pitting against Komatsu Mikako's new album (which isn't great as of now), Niitsu Yui's comeback album (good impression as of now) and Amamiya Sora's 2nd full album (I mean, I showed up for her niconico live lol). Man, this is going to be a good fight. Certainly tiring for me but hey, I used to enjoy listening to hundreds of songs every week. Nowadays it's like a chore somehow. I gotta gear myself back to listening to songs instead of listening to YouTube videos. (Yes, not watching, listening. Like what I'm doing right now as I type this)

On music news, ClariS new single (before I actually watched the Anime to know of it) will be released next month as ending theme songs for Anime "Hataraku Saibou", the best Anime theme song of the year (I called it here) has its full music video on YouTube now (thanks Ooishi Masayoshi for your free music), Aimer's new single will be released in September and initial previews are good, I'm definitely giving Uesaka Sumire's new topic song a miss (it's mostly because of the incompatible singing voice imo), and I wished I can listen to Porno Graffitti's new singles. It's their second this year already and I haven't even heard the first. Someday I gotta open that iTunes paywall and waste money buying for reviews. Apple Music is not enough apparently and no one is paying me to review their releases yet haha #lifegoals. And also thanks SIMAC (Sunrise...Case) for the recognition. You thought me how to social media haha *memo memo*




I think I'm done for the week. Gotta prepare for next week and probably won't be as free was this week. Yeah, I can be more busy apparently. Cya guys next week then, and hopefully by then... I can be happy while knowing I'm still unemployed haha finding jobs is hard they want experience which I don't have lol and don't ask about APoL or KN10YEARS I'm still working on them don't treat me like an employee

Monday 2 July 2018

How can you expect everything in life to go smoothly? Isn't that supposed to be the biggest risk in your life?

Yeah, me in a sentence haha. No seriously, if you ever doubt it, you're screwed. So don't. Ever. Even if you wishes life would go smooth so you can actually enjoy life. That's not how it works, my friend.

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #26

Wow what a week. Okay I've got to wake up early tomorrow (don't ask but it's related to Army lol) so I have to finish this as soon as possible. Damn, I typed too much in one day should've done this yesterday but you know a friend asked me out to play GTA Online so I couldn't refuse and now I have to rush through all of this I started on Sunday afternoon btw okay let's start




アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
"So Mitsuyoshi, did you tell her what you want to say?" A-HA! I KNEW IT lol
DAMMIT RACHEL should be everyone else's reaction because she just exhibited the character of a bossy old woman (a.k.a. an auntie from where I live) but hey, thanks to her we'll get a good conclusion. The final episode (#TadaKun13) gives us a happy ending (not written by that detective novel author) (Wait, it was Rachel??) on this wonderful love story we all anticipated till the end. In the end... yeah I would say they have delivered. I will talk about what lacks therein but let's focus on what they got right. Firstly, the turning point. Thanks to Ijuin, Mitsuyoshi got talked the f**k out of his original intent for coming all the way to meet Teresa. I mean, just to say hi? Why bother curbing your greatest fears? So yeah, I'll be harsher than Ijuin by literally throwing the letter into the water but nature did it instead to not make his friend look like an a**hole even though I am one haha best not be friends with me. Mitsuyoshi proves his point by picking it up in the most original way possible, and attends the final event (lol) which was a banquet offered by Rachel in the form of an invitation letter. You know, palace-level love confession like we've always wanted - which brings us to our next point. Secondly then, is the confession. Even though both sides sort of said the love was at first sight in case you didn't get the feel after all the dialogues, which is what both mentioned to show that they just like each other and being together, whether it's photography that made it better (damn you don't know how much adjustments you can use a camera on to make someone look gorgeous) or Rainbow Shogun (lol) or the North Star story or all of them, but we do know is the love is real. It did stem up from the various activities which was intended as training for royalty but turned out to be the best romance experience ever. That, the Anime production and scriptwriter got it right. And lastly, conclusion. I didn't expect it, to say the least. It'll of course be life is back to normal, Pin-senpai has to graduate, Tada-kun takes over the club (I mean, find me another competent club leader) (No, a MALE leader lmao) and so on but... on Larsenburg (I swear I'm spelling this for the last time) it's a totally different story. The engagement was called off (I totally expect the marriage to still happen), Charles hangs out with Alec now (Alexandra "the red-haired liar" Magritte) and... Teresa comes back for her true love?? What? Then, what happens to the castle? Is it just done? One minus one royalty descendant equals zero, you know. Well... I guess they won't go so far as to explain the kind of end-show stuff (I mean, Anime "Tsuki ga Kirei" didn't either), but I don't know. It feels a bit weird, certainly. But as Rachel said at the end, if it all comes to a good ending, then yes this is one, and I'll take it. The journey down the line of episodes was fantastic, covering good amount of content and varying between characters and telling everyone's (true) love stories all around. What was lackluster maybe is the extent in doing so, from rants to confessions to why they let Teresa cry two days consecutively etc. All these can be provided with a little more context (they can only reference the night sky during the photo shoot bootcamp during their confessions) and it'll relate real quick (at least in the dramasphere) if some words or actions can be extreme. I don't feel it much but... I feel like it can be much better. But hey, I'll still say this is good. It gave us a good ending, wonderful stories and jokes, a lovely foreign girl... what more can you ask? Someone make me a sequel so I can give the title "Tada-kun Falls In Love" without the "never", yes? SOMEONE DO IT haha
[Again, sorry for being so critical I've watched Anime 10 years already I gotta have expectations]
I'll end this series with two of the most wonderful characters here.
Firstly, Teresa-chan!
(She so cute, I wish Iwami-san was this cute too hehe)
I'll end this series with two of the most wonderful characters here.
Also, Alec-san!
("Gotta see what's happening" lol don't you do it you-)
P.S. #nocontext but it's hard being a handsome and good gentleman like Charles tbh also #imagegoals
P.P.S. I guess it wasn't too much of a hint considering it appeared in the end, but yeah, Rachel was the author of the detective novel Alec and Yui-chan have been reading, apparently. As I said, we have no idea how far relations go between her and the grandfather, but suffice it to say all the love (the mystery to say the least) comes from her. Breaking the 4th wall there, production. *laughs*

アニメ Fumikiri Jikan
"Zero?" "Don't make me say it again" Damn it hurts me as much as it hurts her haha
Okay, the final episode of the series (#FumikiriJikan12) or season if this ever comes back, comes back (literally) to the main two girls from episode 1. In case you need a quick recap, the two girls were schoolmates, and the junior love confessed to her senior. Yeah. Sure it's weird, and the senior did clarify in this episode after all, so as it all happens, "all's well is well", I guess. I mean, don't ask me too I have zero love experience lol the jokes in this show are great. To summarise this series, I like the jokes so DON'T TELL ME HOW THE EPISODES ARE ONLY THREE MINUTES LONG AND THEY STILL WANT TO RELEASE BLU-RAY WHICH TOTALS TO LIKE FORTY MINUTES CONTENT sorry the train's running by I gotta speak louder lmao
My face when I'm cross-dressed perfectly and I want to f**k a schoolgirl
P.S. #AnimeSelfAwareness when you call people names and know those names are terrible lol

アニメ Layton Mystery Tanteisha: Katri no Nazotoki File
When people doubt my years of experience (as a human being) I'll make sure people see my eyebrow twitching by bringing a magnifying glass for them or record a gif lol
Wow the dog sounds as condescending as my mom haha okay let's talk about this show. Hmm... how should I put it... it's interesting? THREE THINGS TO TALK ABOUT FOR THIS SHOW!! Firstly, how I came about watching this. Thanks to of course, main girl and voice actress and also ending theme singer Hanazawa Kana do I know about this... rather intriguing mystery drama series I thought I'll never watch. And at this point, I must say I am interested. Secondly, what this is about. It's your typical mystery drama series but starring a kid (no this is not Detective Conan) or specifically the father's detective agency which I assume leaves the daughter in with the assistant since he's out all the time. And as I quote myself "if anyone ever is dumb enough to not schedule an appointment but instead come in through the front door" will be met by the most intelligent kid in Europe in the 19th century haha I mean, look at her. *laughs* *eyebrow twitching* Of course looks are deceiving, as the little girl easily proves to us how much detail she sees above others and deducing mysteries before... probably any kid watching this who is younger than me can comprehend considering I can't do it this fast too. Lastly, let's talk specifics about the episode. The first episode (#Layton01) talks about Simon, this poor rich guy who has his family disappear time after time thanks to a crooked painting on a house sold by some suspicious real estate agent and a dog which automatically cleans up messes as it sees them. There, saved you the time to watch the show. Although I would encourage you to watch though rather childish this show may present itself, is not as compared to Anime "PriPri Chii-chan" I watched last year, I promise. There's suspense, some seconds for you to figure out given the hints throughout the investigation, and some emotion in the backstories... I say this covers all the grounds of a good Anime. If you want deeper mysteries or even those extreme dark ones, don't come here. But if not, you're welcome to step into Datyon's Detective Agency for a personal consultation with Katrielle Layton. Just make sure the father's not here and your case is valid don't start to trick this girl she's smarter than most of us lol
Spoiler alert but, you're going to see this every episode from now on lmao
P.S. I'm like "if everyone in your house disappeared how come you're still around" lol #YoureTheKidnapper
P.P.S. It's a lie kids you don't get such a big house even if you worked hard Layton-chan is right he's just a rich kid who got inheritance haha just joking kids

(Remember to come back after clicking on the link please)
Opinions on the new season of Anime:
  • BANANA FISH (airs 5th July): Not interested in plot (it's like L.A.Noire but with heavier context in war so... no)
  • Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro (airs 6th July): It's Naomi-chan's next big role (unless you watched her 2014 romance Anime) as a main character and the story is totally a joke, and Random Curiosity wrote as fun to watch since it describes the life of something you'll never do which is going to school without getting distracted lmao
  • Hataraku Saibou (airs 7th July): I may just watch 1st episode to see how heavy in technical knowledge it gets (as long as they describe things I'm fine, but explain further then please make it short), the plot seems interesting anyways (lol cancer bacteria), there's Kana-chan in a main role again... we'll see haha
  • Asobi Asobase (airs 8th July): It's Aho Girl stupid but with all kinds of games I assume, I may not get used to the animation so I'll have a test of 1st episode to see if I can forgive it, but otherwise you've got a cast of very new female voice actresses, so I'll remember this based on my first impression of the promotional video because it made me crack lmao
  • Jashin-chan Dropkick (airs 9th July): Random Curiosity relates the show to Anime like "Binbougami ga!" and "Gabriel Dropout" (which I did not watch the latter), the promotional content did not reveal much of the plot, but the animation looks good and it's just one of those I-can't-get-back-to-my-world-so-let-me-stay-in-your-human-house-for-now stories, so... I'll give a chance based on my mood and considering Gabriel Dropout got so much attention over the past few years (I'm saying based on Reddit experience haha)
And I swear I most definitely DID NOT choose these shows to talk about which air in chronological in order lol

漫画 Kuroshitsuji
The new chapter (141) sort of concludes on the duo Ciel reality by... explaining how (dammit what did I use to refer to him) (oh yes) other Ciel came back to life, from the moment Undertaker saved him, and practically brought him around to all of Ciel Ciel's adventures. Hey, don't say your brother's not with you lol. On the other hand, Undertaker has made two statements which will haunt us for this chapter. Firstly, he leaves us to our imagination to his relation with the Phantomhive family, something we will not get an answer from even the past few chapters. Because you see, it means a lot if he is an ancestor perhaps, someone who is concerned about Phantomhives living because he saw the future at some point (I mean, he was a shinigami he probably knew something), or even worse, that's the father. Okay, the last is unlikely, but yeah, the extent can go real far depending on that answer, which was not given. Second, Undertaker took specific words (and actions, mostly hugging) into account when showing Ciel Ciel how wonderfully reconstructed other Ciel is, neglecting the fact that resurrection is never possible to be completed, other Ciel is technically dead even to the eyes of shinigami (which will explain why no shinigami appeared at that place years ago because he's technically dead maybe), and the other shinigami are here. Remember? When the shinigami are here someone's got to be dead. Although one would argue that it's them trying to apprehend the wanted criminal I would say that considering the difficulty in doing that there can easily be a second objective. Hey, all in a day's work of a shinigami, man. Now to see who next will be involved. I mean, even Sebastian didn't figure all of this out for some reason. THE BOY WAS UNDER THE GRAVE!! HE DIDN'T DEMON SMELL THAT OUT?? IS HE TECHNICALLY ALIVE?? AFTER ALL THE EXPERIMENTS??? You tell me haha
Spoiler-free image of the beloved (ex-)laughing shinigami
Note: The term "shinigami" refers to Death Gods, or just Grim Reapers in English context


アニメ Seitokai Yakuindomo The Movie
I should not be Should I be f**king glad that the principal takes no care to the comments of these sick individuals? lol
Eh... I did watch a couple more OVAs I missed in the past couple of months it's out, and now I have the time to watch them all, so let's talk about the movie instead haha. The OVAs did provide some context before understanding what the heck is with this movie though (#SeitokaiMovie01), because I swear no newbie will understand this movie if they just suddenly want to watch this in the cinemas (lol) and this is just two OVA episodes followed by 10 minutes of original content so... yeah that's it. What, you want me to mention more? Sure. If you followed the antics of this series before, it's on surface talking about an all girls' school becoming co-ed, and the troubles of the student council having to deal with the many things (sexually implied or not) in the school itself. As of the OVAs in season two which were released after every successive volume of the manga (by the way the movie was packaged on the special edition of Volume 16 and the titles were labelled as season 2 episodes 20 and 21) the show descended into pretty much just series of jokes where straight people have to retort and everything else that is rated mature or otherwise is more shown in action than in speech lol. Yeah, that's really it. Because this show itself also has a lot of points to talk about, I can't possibly talk about all of them, so I'll simplify everything into three main categories: What is required for your understanding to watch this movie/latest episode of OVA, what was new in this movie whether its you watching the Anime only or totally original content, and what was behind all this production we can see in difference to the past works. [1] If you want to watch this from scratch please start from the beginning otherwise Uomi-neesan will make no sense to you, but otherwise if you have at least watched the second season of the Anime the best recommendation is to watch the OVAs first in order first because there is still some level of plot progression necessary to understand some context including Uomi's frequent visits to Tsuda's place. Also, the latest OVAs also reveal their newest character in the series Mori-san, which is served as a straight person and right-hand man to Uomi in Eiryou High School, so the interrogation (?) in the movie will make more sense. [2] The movie presents several plot progression lines which will be interesting to talk about other than the normal student council stuff. Firstly, the principal of the school has appeared! He looks like some junkie when he was 16 but that's not the point as he did ask Tsuda about any girl he... adores, I assume? We can also assume the principal (as a man) has heard of the... sexual tendencies of the staff and students in school to not care so much during their interview as seen in the movie. The new plot line personally written by author Ujie Tozen for the movie which is supposedly Tsuda is transferring school as he is invited by Uomi to Eiryou High. Spoiler alert: he didn't, but hey you can imagine the craziness happening school-wide to this incident. Hey, he's 9th most popular student in the school after all lol. [3] Production-wise the movie itself has taken it to crazy lengths including the demo of 5.1 surround sound simulating theatre experience (if you use stereo speakers like me you'll notice in the quiz segments Tsuda and Suzu sound muffled since they are... excuse the engineering stuff for a moment, recorded as if they are situated behind the recording device which is what you hear in the cinema or room setting that stereo speakers or even headphones cannot replicate) at the start of the movie, more crisp and true-to-life animations so to justify their animation budget give the best possible visual experience and show off the content in the show hopefully without mosaics haha, and cranking their hentai levels up to the maximum possible since age-gating is no longer an issue because we're in movie theaters lol. All in all, it gave me as much laughs as it did with all the OVAs and shows before that, and I wish for the sake of the Anime to come up with a new season because they've re-using the theme songs for years already, seriously. Hopefully we'll get a revival of the animation soon not in the form of OVAs, for I'd like to watch a lot more of these jokes to remind how sick of a pervert I am haha also I'm lazy in catching up with the manga and Yocchan and Satomi-chan sound erotic too hehe
"Is there any female student particularly in your mind?"
Tsuda: "It's Hata-san."
"Is there any female student particularly in your mind?"
Tsuda: "It's Hata-san."
P.S. On a side note from that last part above: Around 2011 I showed my friends the first opening theme song animation of the series and they squealed like little boys haha NOOBS more like BOOBS amirite??
P.P.S. As somewhat expected of an upturn, Mori-san of the Eiryou High student council is voiced by yours truly, Uesaka Sumire. Heck, you wish we could tie her up (in that specific manner) for questions lmao
[Is the last part a hint for something? Your guess is as good as mine. I mean, they do hint their relationship now and then anyways, so... don't take it too seriously, yes?]
[Yes I'm putting as much extra info as I can since I don't want to review 3 more OVA episodes of this show]
[Satou Satomi wrote on her blog that when she went to America for an Anime event, she got a lot of mentions from fans for various Anime she stars on: K-ON!, Fairy Tail, Hyouka, GoshiUsa and of course... Seitokai Yakuindomo haha I laughed too hard on that]

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
Following last week's indie artist search, I did spend some more time to hear more new songs, but this time from artists I'm familiar with too, so that includes Aimer, Sunrise In My Attache Case and more. I also took a listen to Minase Inori and Touyama Nao's live performances and... I gave naobou a song I didn't give back then because according to me last year "I don't want to portray her too much of a cute idol image" or something like that but yeah I didn't have the mood to give her those anyways, so... now's a good time I guess. I also gave Komagata Yuri's debut single more listens so welcome, one of the two B-sides. I also gave a listen to SHISHAMO's new album to no conclusion: turns out I just can't bear to give them any melodies because I know they aren't good. *sigh* Next time, girls. For more information be sure to follow my Twitter account, yes?

Next week brings us a couple of albums I'm interested in following the recent discoveries at the start of this segment, including an indie artist named Non Stop Rabbit backed up by huge production of familiar artists and Sunrise In My Attache Case since it's been some time since I gave a listen to them and the new music video isn't that bad. The interesting stuff are releasing the week after, so be patient, yes?



Okay I'm done. I really need to do some stuff (including shower) so I can... stay awake for a day of briefings tomorrow haha. That's all I can say though, it's technically classified information lol. Cya guys next week then, and until next time... I'll still be in the thick of it so I guess my game consumption time will be greatly reduced from tomorrow onwards *sigh* see ya

Sunday 24 June 2018

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #25

Okay I have an exam paper tomorrow for many reasons than other that I will not bore you with (go back like, 7 issues and you'll know) so let's finish this quick because I need to revise. I can barely remember anything after a month and a half of not studying and playing games lol let's start




アニメ Fumikiri Jikan
"I know Majima-san from an angle you've never seen" lmao as if you know
The guy in this episode needs to fix a mirror on his shoe in order to have the ultimate experience lol. The new episode (#FumikiriJikan11) continues on the fantasising journey of Tanishi, that bald kid who can't even stand against (height pun intended) the beautiful female classmate. Well, as much as his thoughts were lengthy, they were progressive. From boyfriend conversations to whatever you think is beneath that skirt lol, this guy's thoughts has everything. Funny how this can constitute a 3-minute video considering (warning sexual content) I go from arousal to jerking off faster than that haha this guy is literally me 10-year-old me oops. Anyways, nice episode, and we are nearing the end, so... no conclusion perhaps? Oh well. It's still a great show to watch though. Some of the stories (like this) are interesting for me who likes slice-of-life shows.
My safety distance when I am not conversing with a girl but thinking of her naked lol
OUT!
(Like, seriously bro, you're out)
P.S. #TheSin when you saw just briefly a lady's tookus... This boy is too pure haha
P.P.S. In case you wondered and cannot remember the names as you pass by the opening theme, the girl is voiced by Komagata Yuri who also sang the opening theme song. I mean, she's technically less than just a newbie for only saying a couple of lines in this show, and the song wasn't that great, so... nah she's not my type haha

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
Damn, is she sniffing on my fiance's clothing?? *laughs* #PlotTwist (No, she just likes the smell of that man that perfume brand it's got quite an exquisite aroma lol)
I think we should rename this episode (#TadaKun12) to (spoiler alert) "Tada-kun wa Naite wa Shinai" (Trans.: Tada-kun Never Cries) instead let's get that petition going, guys. *laughs* Okay, the episode. I must say it was lackluster for what needs to be conveyed, you know, like the breakdown, but nope, there wasn't much as in the process but in the result. Tada-kun reached Larsenburg (the only time I'll spell this, and correctly) in search of... well let's just say he's being a messenger for his grandfather, and (I wouldn't say he found it, so) chanced upon Rachel, who apparently lives in a different (but heavily guarded) abode than the palace, I assume. She did not reveal the situation that Teresa and Alec (and Charles) are in though, but passes the baton to the palace, where the couple met again after what seems like forever. They sat down, and of course, the truth be told. So yes, Teresa was actually just a royalty who has to go overseas for experience, and more specifically, to do so as part of growing up, before taking over the nation. So yeah, I was half right. This and all, the people in Japan don't know. So yeah, it was kind of bad. Teresa mentions it was decided from the beginning, the marriage part, and Tada-kun... let's just say he also cried. No doubt Ijuin will be there to support him and maybe motivate him to take some action towards his love or whatever I don't know now. What is important is that this must be settled in some way, and I anticipate an ending. How epic will it be? This episode didn't really deliver that impact, so I hope the last episode will. My fingers are crossed. On other things, Alec likes Charles? Well, that doesn't make any of them royalty I'm afraid, and yeah they can't really find a replacement unless you tell me Teresa and Mitsuyoshi are related by blood (that's even worse) so this can't go anywhere that far I'm afraid. I feel sad for Alec though, through her serious face hides her innocent behaviour even I feel for. Oh well. At least you're not having it as hard as Teresa-chan, who might have to make that decision eventually should Tada-kun ever take action to prevent the supposed reality from happening. I'll be looking forward to that.
When you thought you could see more from a gravure by tilting the book lol
(And the one woman beside you is better lmao)
P.S. Once again, Ijuin MVP this episode. For his weird sneezing, stupid English introductions, and how terribly he screwed up the tailing of his best friend lol
P.P.S. I knew what was under Teresa's desk already. That's everyone else if they has secrets haha. Seriously though, you can NOT not forget those wonderful times.

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii
Okay maybe I was dumb but if you figured out what happened with the three hints you're a good boyfriend/girlfriend haha. "Love is Hard for Otakus", I guess. *laughs* The new and final episode (#WotaKoi11) of the series is as adequate of a good ending as you would expect it to end, but it's not without a bunch of stories to tell again. I know the recipe for storytelling here is getting dry, but I still like it for the jokes, the stuff they talk about, the love within, and everything else in between. That's still what makes this show special. From Hirotaka playing games end to end for days (I mean, what is he playing?), Narumi cooking for her boyfriend (where can I put a request on that order lol),  Koyanagi desperately wanting some love, Kabakura concealing his emotions for anything he doesn't like... these four sure have something to talk about. All in all, the series proves to show much of what is love between otakus without boring us with the technical stuff (okay the last part about first love is... I couldn't even bother to research on who they are) and still maintains quite a high standard for those jokes and plot lines, so I congratulate the show for this. I enjoyed it personally, the pace may be kinda slow, it's a bit true to reality lest I experience it first lol, but hey, if you wonder what is it like dating someone who just likes comics and animation, this is as close as it gets. Then again now that I got to know about it maybe it wasn't such a good idea after all, finding someone with the same interests as me. I mean, I'm only a little into Anime and Manga titles. Would be at a different level if I were Japanese lol. Finally, as a teaser to end this just like how they ended this series, my first love (in Anime when I was about 14) was... drum roll please... Remember "Toradora!"? I'm not into little girls so... Kushieda Minori!! (Love Hina doesn't count I have no feelings for Naru) But really, why? Hmm... I liked lively girls back in 2008 (not so because they can drag me out of the house lol) (and also because spoiler alert - she is not that bubbly in personality anyway), and she's cute. And voiced by the lovely Hocchan. Can't say anything more. It quickly changed to the K-ON! girls the following year though for some reason haha
Me when I notice they are "having a good time" lol
Me when they notice I was "having a good time" lol
P.S. #RealityCheck when you know you're not going to get greeted on a surprise visit the same you would encounter in a shoujo manga lol Narumi
P.P.S. TIL Kabakura likes Cardcaptor Sakura haha don't worry bro everyone does

漫画 MANGA
I'm skipping this for this week too I've got manga to catch up after tomorrow



音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
It has been quite a week in Klassic Note, so let's talk about it. Suchmos's new album is not impressive by any means, and it's mostly just me giving it a listen because I heard of the topic song which was already released like, 4 months ago but I didn't like it until now? Yeah, so I'll give that a pass. Gotch seems to like the second song in the list like many others online though, so if you like them go give a listen. Chatmonchy's last album is finally out after half a year of crying on their announcement of disbandment, and... I'll give it. In this case, I'll hold on to the true Klassic Note fashion but I have to say I cannot take their music style. They have come a long way, but if you don't miss their classic rock music style, I do. So yeah, not quite a happy ending in this case, but otherwise... yeah I did like the song with the lyrics written by former member Kumiko (that is track 6 in case you wonder) so there's that. LILI LIMIT also came back on the microscope after much resistance of not giving anything from their latest formal release in February this year and that one single track in April. So yeah, giving two in this case, to compensate in protest of the song style I'd rather prefer (I'm not into their electronic music tbh) and also anticipate for better songs as I continue to like their melodies and expression. Still, quite an exception in the industry and in Klassic Note in recent years. Last but not least, Komagata Yuri's debut single for Anime "Fumikiri Jikan" is finally out, I WILL be giving another song in the single a chance unlike many other singles which slipped off my hands from the start of the year, and the song itself... I mean, the preview in the Anime is only the chorus; I don't have much to work with here so it could be anything. Well, except it wasn't terrible. Sorry halca-san; you gotta swallow the fact that despite the last episode of the series you're not getting your ending theme song single vetted by me. No, damn, way. It's time to be real critical in Klassic Note. Unless it rings in my mind again (I just listened to it in full again) then maybe. Otherwise, we're done. Komagata-san, you still got chance. We can talk Anime roles and bodies. *laughs* (Refer to the Anime review above for more)

I also spent some time to go on a journey for some indie artist music again. I know it's not prime time to do this because typically an early May season would be wise, but hey, I do when I can. I highlighted a couple of artists on my Twitter feed from SWANKY DANK to LuckLife ripoffs (well both of them aren't that famous yet anyway) so be sure to check them out if you can, and yes I'm being gender biased to male vocals because there's too many female vocals on my song list I'm trying to even it out here okay? Too much idol sh*t songs already and I can't take in more at this rate...

Next week brings us... nothing. So I might just go explore more indie artists then. I missed the times I was giving SpecialThanks back in 2015 along with a couple more artists and am happy to see where they are today to be honest. You know, these solo journeys are my pilgrimage, and I feel a lot the same.




Okay I'm done. Wow, 3 hours left before bed so I won't knock myself out in the morning paper. Cya guys next week then, and until then... I'm trying real hard to think of how to do #KN10YEARS stuff, continue APoL Chapter 17 and watch all those live performances AT THE SAME TIME??? Man, time is short when you keep playing those stupid online free-to-play games lol okay bye bye

Things that happen quick may not be painless, but things that happen slowly will already be painful.

Thinking about the entertainment I'm enjoying today without paying a cent. Or even those that I do pay. The Internet is such a wonderful place to criticize anything and everything until we realize this can all go away once we do not support them. Okay I'm done it's making me poisonous already.

Sunday 17 June 2018

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #24

Hey, guys.

Yes, I know, my plans for #KN20 #KN10YEARS have yet to start, but yeah, I'm still working on it. Turns out if too much happened in a year I have to spend more time writing about everything. Should've thought of spacing all the events out to make the storytelling in the future more consistent haha I'm going to run out of content to talk about for Klassic Note last year lol okay let's do this first




アニメ Fumikiri Jikan
The new episode (#FumikiriJikan10) brings us the epic conclusion (hopefully the guy didn't f*** a schoolgirl lmao) of whatever cliffhanger we're left last week, which is that guy seeing his student self crush but him as an old man. Spoilers are ahead but yep, it's the daughter. Don't worry, nothing happened after the truth was let out of the bag, and man was the daughter dressed exactly like the mother. Just through literary? This kid is real smart, and fearless apparently, to appear dressed in the same way. Well then again we're dealing with one guy who will recognise her so... I guess it's okay? Man, is this the kind of love story I'll see years from now when I'm an old man and my secondary school (middle school for you folks out there) crush appear in the streets? Haha not gonna happen I swear I don't even have a crush on anyone. *wink*
On the other hand, I'm surprised she's surprised at the... confession?
Gotta inspire the girl to be a writer hehe
P.S. Yeah I saw the cast in the opening theme. Remember last week's episode didn't feature the girl talking? Thanks Tamura Yukari-chan you make a wonderful schoolgirl voice lmao the last time I heard of her is when I was doing her on the bed (Audience: HEY HEY HEY PG BRO) haha oops


アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
"I'm sure they have a good reason" YEAH YOU BET THEY DO haha #foreshadowing
Seriously at this point I want to be an Anime character, enter Tada-kun's cafe and do that Rainbow Shogun action until Mitsuyoshi decides to go find the girl haha. Okay, not going to happen just yet, but the new episode (#TadaKun11) sure got a lot of people sad. IT'S BEEN ONE MONTH ALREADY?? Wait, THREE MONTHS?? I mean, if you got regrets you better do something about it now. And so he does. Among all the sadness is realisation, that their sudden departure is of course, with reason. And of course, still possible to find out the truth. I mean, unlike the last time Tada-kun your dear crush is not dead yet. And I must say the setup to this part is real good; that I give the production credit for. From Tada-kun being angry at them two leaving abruptly without a word, so seeing things around town and reminiscing the good times, to cleaning up the past and finding them out again (I mean, they could've just formatted that memory card haha) and even in all these there are remnants of not only the two, but of regret. Of wanting an answer to conclude the end of the good times. Hey, we all expected at least a year of good times. This motherf**ker just left in six months!! *laughs* Okay jokes aside, if watching the video footage in the school computer didn't make you tear up, you're heartless. If you're not touched when your dear grandpa tells you to go pursue what is needed and giving you back your regret, you're emotionless. All in all, I must say this is a real good plot twist aftermath for an Anime original, and I can't wait to see how this pans out. With Tada-kun conquering his fear of airplanes (Teresa-chan be like "he's not going to come for us he hates planes" lol) for the one he likes, things are going to get real awkward when he notices that he can't speak a word of European in that small country lol okay yes chances are Teresa-chan could be married but still YOU WANT HER TO COME FIND YOU WHEN SHE'S CARRYING TWO KIDS WITH HER OR WHAT? *laughs*
Spoiler-free reaction images to this episode lol
Spoiler-free reaction images to this episode lol
P.S."Alec-san took the Volume 7 of my beloved mystery novel and didn't return? We're doing to Larsenburg!" Is what I hoped Yui-chan would say, but hey, this is not her show. *laughs*
P.P.S. Ijiun-kun MVP this episode because he's the only one who can still keep the mood up (for himself mostly) despite the circumstances. Also Miyano Mamoru MVS (most valued seiyuu) in case you don't know how active he is in person compared to his Anime counterparts. Yes, this isn't his first role with an active personality. Also MVC (most valued couple) (lol) are the two regulars in the cafe because I want to say my love to someone someday #RelationshipGoals

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii
"He's the type of person who's fine being alone" NAO TRIGGERED lol
Oh wait, Nao-kun is HITTING ON A GIRL??? Oops. The new episode (#WotaKoi10) is another one of those "And that is how I met your mom" stories? No? *laughs* Okay, the story. Nao-kun manages to find himself a plaything friend to play games with but unfortunately he, or should I say, she, is a pro gamer like the brother. But before that, let's talk about the glasses. A day with Hirotaka but without his glasses must be my favourite part of this series now because I mean, it hits all the jokes at the right spot. He indirectly gets laid by all the girls in the office, he is mistaken by doing BL with his boss lmao (the hardest I've laughed here so far), and... the girlfriend is jealous. Okay, maybe not the BL part she's enjoying it but yeah, it was fun to watch. Now, Nao. Word pun not intended because it's a lot more interesting in perspective for the title of the show I keep forgetting because I keep thinking it's about those four. So yeah, the little brother thinks his elder brother is just a heartless pro gamer who doesn't give two bird poop about others, but hey, at least Kou-kun (as Nao-kun has referred to so it's burned into my brain now) was kind enough to play with this total noob, and so assist him whenever possible. That's how you make friends, people. Lucky you Kou-kun; you'll not be that lucky again considering how closed and alone your personality is. I'm a living example of such bad luck haha. On the other hand, it was interesting to watch mainly because it's not about the main four anymore, and with some hope we might just get to see some sparks going once that poor part-timer notices he was hitting on a girl hehe I'll be looking forward to that but going from the episode count... Please Anime give me that last part as conclusion you won't give us the main conclusion anyway haha
The two parts I laughed the most to haha
(That's me irl btw it's funnier too that he's working instead of just staring at some monitor)
The two parts I laughed the most to haha
(I laughed harder at Koyanagi's expected reaction lmao BL is great content for jokes)
P.S. *Watched last part after ending theme* Oh. *laughs*
P.P.S. And... drum roll please... Kou-kun is voiced by... Aoi-chan??? Damn, she's good at male vocals almost thought she was a homo haha

漫画 MANGA
Finally! A break! MUAHAHAHA (It'll be back next week.)


音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week was quite important as it concluded on the many songs I've yet to give over the past few weeks for some reason, and also new releases. THE ORAL CIGARETTES new album was much anticipated although rather disappointing but I haven't given up yet so yeah I'll probably a couple more after the topic song. The one split single from cinema staff was a real bummer as I can't even so yeah I'm skipping that too (man, I've been doing this quite a lot this year I wonder why) because it's just too hard to even give anyone here. I also gave a listen to H ZETTRIO after quite some time giving them a couple of music pieces from last year, and I won't say I will give a lot here so I don't have to say I never give anything next week haha

Talking about next week, we're finally welcoming the end of Chatmonchy and their final album along with the sensation I went up on Twitter to make after getting hooked to Suchmos and their new album which apparently the topic song I didn't get hooked back four months ago and this is after their departure to major (though independent) label earlier this year. So yeah, these two, are the plans.

On other news from the Internet for Klassic Note, fumika is finally back on Apple Music Japan (since her departure from major label) so yeah you should've noticed that playlist link, miwa's best album tracklist isn't that impressive considering I missed two of her recent singles already, as I said I got crazy on Suchmos instead of being crazy over #KN10YEARS plans... oh that didn't go up on Twitter haha I don't have the guts to announce something in progress




Okay I'm tired from making some stupid program in Python to help me fetch Songs of the day from my own Twitter account it's overflowing in user traffic for some reason lol. I could've just done this manually and it wouldn't have burnt an afternoon but nope. *laughs* Cya guys next week then, and by then... I better remember to go for that supplementary exam so I can graduate next year?? Uh oh the school may have still made me miss convocation oh well whatever haha such is life lol bye

Sunday 10 June 2018

The Entertainment News 2018 Edition Issue #23

Well, salvation does exist, so I'm given a second chance. I thought I gotta let this out first before I talk about everything else in this week because... I finally get to graduate this year. Thanks to whoever involved in making that decision which is otherwise never possible for those pu**ies at the school's administrative office. *laughs*

Okay, not pondering about that liao; it's ending in two weeks. Let's talk about entertainment, yes?



アニメ Fumikiri Jikan
What? This is a two-parter? See you next week lol. Anyways, the new episode (#FumikiriJikan09) is simple in presentation yet leaves us with more questions than we came in with, which is none. Okay so there's this man who's waiting by the railroad crossing reminiscing (I used this word specifically to describe his age) about his school days, seeing the girl across the crossing on the nearby train station, but yeah, he didn't take any action. Well, that day did come, and so he wrote a letter and passed it to her. Problem is, wait, what? It's the exact same girl holding his letter? Time paradox? Or it's the daughter? So many questions, yet we'll only know next week. Damn, this show. *laughs*
Not going to spoil what happened but you can guess what is below her haha

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
"ALWAYS MAKE YOUR HEART RAINBOW!" *laughs*
The wait is over, dear Rainbow Shogun fans. It's the focus episode!! *cheers irrationally* The new episode (#TadaKun10) focuses surprisingly heavily on the show and also, on the main two. And man, what an ending. But hey, let's talk about what happened. Firstly, Teresa-chan. She went with Tada-kun to the Rainbow Shogun Show, and you bet that was fun to watch. More importantly, the symbolism of them being together seems to foretell something that will happen, which is... (spoiler alert) it's her last day. And even Alec-san turned kind and happy for once. Hey, if this only gave Ijuin-kun the creeps we're not normal haha. Secondly, the family story. We're finally dropped big hints on who Rachel is this episode, and yes if you need guessing it's probably an old lover. Of the old Tada-kun. Okay at this point let's assume old friend, yes? Even so, that will make the relationship between Teresa-chan and Tada-kun somewhat close already, considering we know about the North Star story back in a couple of episodes ago. Still, what that means? We have no idea. Suffice it to say that this will be the only opportunity when revealed, to do something about the ending we didn't expect to happen at the end of this episode, I would guess. And lastly, what has happened. So yeah, why the sudden return to their hometown? I mean, the parents' dead already right? So... Rachel's in trouble? Or Alec was worried this might get any worse "so let's get back and finish the marriage" instead? Maybe, but we don't know. Problem is over her, will anyone here do anything about it? Will Tada-kun even bother to ask the questions? Remember the Anime title? Yeah, that's going to play into this next week I suppose. Anyways, many questions, and we can only but wait to find out. Hey, at least there's the cliffhanger. Seriously didn't expect that until Ijuin noticed Teresa walking away from the hotel. Yeah, it's that late for me. How about you all? I hope I was the only blockhead haha. All in all, I can foresee the impending disaster that is about to happen to Teresa after making such a sudden decision of leaving without saying proper goodbyes... I mean I'm prepared for those floodgates to open so we can finally see someone break down for love in this story hehe I'm waiting Anime production
When everyone is interested in something you don't lol
I was seriously as shocked as Ijuin and I totally expected a date of some form but... nothing.
Alec-san you disappoint me.
P.S. "I don't think it's your fault that your parents got into an accident" WELL NO SHIT *looks at Tada-kun* haha #mindblown for him to say the least. Drama~
P.P.S. All I want in life now, is that Teresa-chan would say those emotional words right beside me using that 3D sound head dummy thing?? Wow, that would be a dream come true...
[OMAKE GIF!!!]
I thought this wasn't an actions-only romance show like that other Anime

アニメ Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii
"The people who are still playing now are definitely otaku" I better remind my friends about this haha <= talking about Pokemon GO
Hmm the new episode (#WotaKoi09) sure was fun, don't get me wrong, but it may shed some light (as little as it is) about Hirotaka himself. So yeah, the main couple decide they've done too much otaku, so Narumi suggested to go on a theme park or something, but Hirotaka posed a dumb penalty (well it wasn't that dumb) on mentioning anything otaku, which basically means their lives right now so I don't think this is a good idea. On the other hand, they did in the end have something to talk about, though Kabakura and Koyanagi had to chip in to their discussion. To a further extent, it gave time for Hirotaka to think about how much he and she has changed along the years, and it doesn't matter anyway because we move at our own pace. Well that is until someone thinks your pace is too slow and decides to pace you like that stupid sergeant who thinks you cannot pass your fitness test lol okay back to Anime. So yeah, the usual laughs, the piggybank was heavy enough to (as I expected) go buy souvenirs, and I must say if we're going on a date where we can't talk about the stuff that brought us together, that's gonna be a bummer. But I like that idea I just don't have anyone else to use it on- *cries* I don't really know how this will make for the direction of the show, but as of now I don't think it's much. Hey, that's the problem with adapted productions, people. You may not get an ending. Well, at least make it good one, yes? We're close to the end already.
I like the reverse drawing style here where the main characters are sketchy and the background is detailed lol
I like this super complicated character chart (or whatever you call it) of them two haha
P.S. The new ending theme was terrible anyway. Thanks, halca-san. Also, your new single isn't great, just so you know. I gave sumika already so I'm done with you, girl. *laughs*

漫画 Mikako-san
"It's not a lie; It's just vanity." Gotta remind myself of that haha *stares at wallpapers*
Since this series is kind of short (well, 7 volumes isn't short but the chapters were) I decided to finish it in one go. Meaning I've been reading this for like 6 hours straight haha. (Could've been shorter had it not been sh*tty streaming sites) Anyways, I chanced upon this on pure coincidence because Komatsu Mikako (hint starts here) was Tweeting about her life-sized paper figures on the shops promoting her upcoming album with a hashtag, and instead of seeing more images of that figure I instead saw this manga which was still celebrated like, 4 years after final release of the manga in 2014, so I decided to take a look. So, this manga which started as a weekly serialisation in 2009 by author Kyou Machiko, is about a short story in a familiar setting: the final year in high school. Typical, right? Yes it is, but what caught my attention after reading a chapter of it (in Japanese) and probably would catch your attention too is the art style. It's really sketchy, for starters. Coupled with the minimal expression that is in the work, it brings of little meaning but heavy understanding and interpretation for every chapter. For such a work to lie on the literary side of expression (but not in words because I wouldn't get it), you can't help but think this can go in the right direction. Hey, this may not be an award-winning piece (okay it was, just not big enough for us to know) for all to know, but it has its quirks.
Didn't know you could do this to a penknife tbh
The story goes off describing a girl's life (name inferred) Mikako who is still as aimless as she is after all these school years, and things are about to change for her in her senior year. She got to be friends with a guy who likes the same band as she does, she managed to get herself a boyfriend which is not the friend (we'll get to that soon), she has a best friend (I assume) who also has her relationship woes... all the stuff you can expect in school. That, and the future which lie before them. And this is where the inferential stuff happens. Every chapter is either something with relation to the story the author wants to point out (eg. "It was at this time, I think I fell in love with him") or a short description about a detail in everyday life (eg. the whole family doing everything near the same sink, from laundry to snatching your spot to brush teeth so they can sleep early) and that is interesting in itself, though most would think it's boring. The overall plot progression isn't that exciting too, so if you're expecting "Toradora!" level romance antics and cliffhangers you're not going to get any. What might be more disappointing is the ending which obviously we can assume is that the main two will eventually get together, probably more than friends. But the last few chapters were totally based on your own inference because it was half-assed, I would say. Still, this story is interesting in its own field, I would admit, but maybe it's a little too dull, and maybe a little too true to life. As the author mentioned she wanted to convey teen life as well as being normal in life yet living out our own stories.
Man, you wished all manga was this true to life. And it says so well to me too. I was going to bore all your lives with a longer paragraph than this, talking about my life as a student now (almost about to be) living another semester because of an accident I did similar to Mikako-san (I didn't break my arm walking down the stairs though), but yeah, makes you think about how life should go from here on. Sadly, I wasn't blessed with people who will like me, or even walk up to say they do, which kind of makes me glad to have this manga as awakening. Also, inspiration for how I should write my lifework APoL too, that's for sure. All in all, I liked the story, the sketchy art, and everything in between, from a loving heart to not feeling anything at all to... to being alone and lost, just like myself.

Okay let's move on with life I'm sick of these kinds of depressing stories haha

漫画 A Channel
The special chapter in Volume 8 titled "Sweet Operation" talks about Yuuko's struggle to... be friends with Tooru. Well I suppose this is an early story thing since... haha okay maybe not, but yeah it's a nice story to find out. Yuuko just wants some love from the incredibly adorable shorty (haha), but she doesn't care. Time probably won't solve this stalemate according to Run-chan and Nagi-chan was probably more right since it's easier to find something in common. Hey, did someone mention sweets? Yep, baited her good, this cooking talent of hers. And that's probably how it all began. Funny huh, that Nagi-chan can talk well with Tooru. Well, I pity Yuuko most of the time in these situations, so now you know why. *laughs*
Same here too, Yuuko. Same here.


音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This week was quite a disappointing week in Klassic No- Wait did I say the same thing last week? Haha then this week isn't better I guess. Eh before this week's releases I would like to say sorry to- Oh I did mention him two weeks before? Oops I didn't add him to the list haha I'm sorry to myself tbh. Okay, this week. In a nutshell, TrySail's new single was just an EDM phenomenon which is totally a turn off for me (sorry Nan-chan so are you and your love for EDM) (to save you the trouble she said it in her blog) (okay no no you're still cute can we play games someday? lol) and Numakura Manami's new single wasn't that interesting considering how wonderful Ten-chan's single was last month (and I didn't give the B-side) and if it wasn't for SECONDWALL's first full album 5 years since their debut I would have swore I need to throw all of these away and find new artists haha. A little more about SECONDWALL, though I made it sound like they were the salvation this week, the melodies are still rather weak compared to the great rock music they have behind it. I finally also got my hands (thanks Apple Music) on DENIM's first full album after recommendation of a audio preview from Gotch like, half a year ago (yeah I remember these guys since I've heard of them before this too, that's why I know) but then... this one was also a no-go. Probably will be giving the one song that brought me in though; that one is as relaxing as its song title.

I also took some time to give GLIM SPANKY another song for the money because I like them hard rock music after listening to a live performance released on YouTube which I can't believe I've been missing out since it was uploaded in February this year. I've proven my dad over the weekend through Apple Music Japan (even so) that he can enjoy his dialect songs from Taiwan by taking in one of our accounts (which is not possible haha) or just paying 10 bucks a month (he can sign the local region one Taiwan is not  Japan) to support his favourite artists... which he didn't reply. Oh well, can't believe the discount is THAT much already and he still won't consider. It's fine. I took a couple of years to come to this decision as well. (Oh wait I called both posts "part 2"?? lol)

On other news looking at my Twitter account, Anime Manga "K-ON!" will receive its sequel with a different cast and a drummer as main girl (I thought you'd like to know this xD), nano.RIPE is releasing their new album in August ever since their hiatus and return from last year. That vocalist from SECONDWALL noticed my tweet lol, and... that's it. *laughs* Okay I gotta complete the sentences I wrote spoke wrote out at first, can? Remember; this was written as a narrative. *laughs*




That'll be it, people. I know I mentioned a lot about #KN10YEARS but I've not been making progress, mainly because it's harder to write a complete story for the next five years (ie. KN2013-2017) compared to the first five because I don't have any reference and I noticed I was supposed to write a summary and make a full one 5 years ago but I didn't and now I'm doing the reverse I guess? I don't know. I'll confirm once I'm ready. And since we have that piece of good news which I started the post with which means my time is limited on this too so I better hurry up. Sorry if the story isn't told in more detail but I guess only I will care so whatever haha. Cya guys next time then, and until then... I wish someone will give me some feedback on my GitHub page...
