アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club
Do you even think coincidences exist? I mean, I've never seen someone before as a stranger and then see them again as an acquaintance to someone I know or because I visit something or attend an event or whatever. Well, it's Anime, so you can do whatever you want, I guess. In this new episode (#SaikoroClub08), and as the word "finally" is overrated since two episodes ago, we talk about the fourth main girl of the series. She is Emilia, and as of the last time we saw her, she is German, and as we saw her with her dad, she convinced her dad to open a business here to promote the playing of board games, and of course the three girls got wind of it and decided to take a look. As expected of the wishing star (hey, I gotta), Emilia got to meet them despite how empty the cafe is apparently, they got to play a game together, and she had lots of fun. "Thanks, Mom!" *laughs* Anyways, it was another game, and... I might argue that the rules might be too much. I prefer simpler games, so this is a real turn off. Compare this to the other game we get to see during the school festival though, as the vice chairperson Shibusawa once again delivered the girls the worst location due to abuse of power (lol), so now the girls had no idea how to get customers to the old school building at the corner. Thankfully, the chairperson added in SNS (aka Social Network Service, ie. Twitter because that's all Japanese use there lol) publicity so the girls can get word out of the awesome place that is the board game cafe, and... Emilia brought a change of clothes. Yeah, that was the dealbreaker, by the way. *laughs* I mean, Aya-chan and Emmy probably know no shame, so kudos to Miki-chan and Midori-chan for dressing up as well. (The episode did not provide enough dere Midori-chan: 1/10 haha) And for once, Miki-chan leads the game by explaining the rules of "Dobble", which sadly I know of this through a YouTube video I watched very recently (Uchida Maaya fans you're welcome) (also, Shimono Hiro if you are a fan of him) (ah, different name but same rules) which is basically spotting of items on cards which have one common object on every two cards. Yes, any pair has exactly one common item. The episode didn't explain too much, but if you look closer you will notice how it's carefully designed such that (1) some are of different sizes so you won't see consistency as a way to identify objects quickly and (2) some are drawn abnormally from normal objects which will require some level of description and creativity to convince others of what the objects are, which is what Yoshioka was experiencing there. The feels of these guys playing is like sooo dry, but that Yoshioka fixing his eyes on Miki-chan... I think we got ourselves another couple haha. Yoshioka be experiencing something else, amirite?? *laughs* All in all, the cafe was a glorious success, the girls be cute in maid outfits, and all is well. Best episode since the beach one. After the clouds cleared, of course. Next episode, we might be taking a break from German board games to play foreign exchange culture sharing (lol I don't know what they call that my grades aren't good enough to go overseas as a kid lol) by teaching Emmy some Japanese games! Hey, would be an eye opener for me too- Oh they playing Daruma-san? Ah nvm haha I know that game lol reminds me of the one in the Nintendo Switch game "Taiko no Tatsujin" because my cousins had a fun time with it. *sigh* Remember when we didn't have the Internet and smartphones? People play other games way more often haha sadded"Second time meeting you!" Yeah, puts some meaning into first time meeting you, huh.

アニメ Babylon
You think rage is going to overwrite seduction? To be honest? I think it might. In this new episode (#Babylon07) which will ensure you change your impression of this otherwise dark story, it gets darker. I'm sorry haha. No really, remind me NEVER to watch this episode again, please. *laughs* Okay, before spoilers are up, and I just want to clarify, I don't want to die now, for my life has meaning, how little it might be. So once again, my condolences to everyone who died this episode, for we can only host a mass burial to bury you all. Yeah, it's that bad. So yes, as expected, Itsuki has to come up with a final draw in what will happen to his argument in the debate, and although I would argue this is the author's most solid counter argument yet, it's also not the solution. Let's talk quickly about it because the action behind is more exciting haha okay may have used the wrong word lol. Ok, story. Itsuki's argument, as of the plot twist last episode, is that he wants to save his son. His son is suffering from a heart disease apparently, and supposedly the best way to save him is to kill himself? And that's why we have social welfare. And that's why people want to donate and help the kid the moment he mentioned his side of the reality, and not tell him to die for the kid. Not that we wouldn't, or not that he shouldn't, mind you, but there has to be a better solution. So therefore Itsuki's point is that, local laws do not allow organ donation with suicide which I assume is not an accidental death thus cannot be counted as donation from an organ donor, so yeah, which is why he's here to make it possible, I suppose. That argument will probably work and has also effectively cancelled all arguments in the debate thus far, but of course we know the reality is that we can ask for help from society. And then you can die and hire your private surgeon to do it if all else fails lol. *looks at BANANA FISH* Anyways, the TV debate show concludes, and Itsuki is escorted out of the building by of course, the escort team led by Seizaki. And yes, as I literally predicted last episode, it's all down to Sekuro and Seizaki apparently. So yeah, wink wink plot twist again, don't ever doubt Magase Ai's disguise abilities as a woman to any other woman. Considering the only woman left backstage besides Hiasa is the kid's mother... yeah you can join the lines. Not dotted lines though those are for later haha ugh. *laughs* Seizaki saw that but all was too late as Hiasa who was sent out to see what happened also got caught in the mess, and you kinda just need that two versus one to apprehend even a kendo combatant, I guess. And so, Sekuro was kidnapped. The police arrived at the scene to close to two dozen bodies (Jesus H Christ) (I hope they are Christian lol), and there's more to come. Yeah. Seizaki's family is fine for now though, and thanks for the analogy substitute, by the way. What is it a substitute to? Well, Seizaki received a livestream link to Magase Ai's... execution call. Well, dissection of a living body would be more accurate, but here is why I feel you bro. Why use Hiasa though? Maybe Magase Ai is truly evil. Which I will skip the gore because you can watch in the episode yourself (It isn't that bad tbh remember the substitute?) (Also, Sekuro doesn't scream into the livestream? Anime logic btw) (But seriously though, Fs for Hiasa) and instead talk about this: is she the only evil in this story? If as of this point the Anime would let us think they are a family of three (man, can't imagine but I have to) and Magase Ai is somehow married and had a kid? I don't know, but isn't Itsuki also under danger? Maybe even blackmailed by Magase? Because really, just a whisper in your masculine ear and you will want to die already, man. I assume the kid is immune because he hasn't grown any balls yet so... (BOOM GOTCHA haha sorry kid) But seriously, think about it. Then Itsuki didn't commit any crime. He just wants to pass the law. Or even not. He may just want to save his kid. And Magase Ai told him there are alternative ways to make it happen. You know, commuting suicide. Now you see where I'm getting? If that is so then dealing with a singularity of evil might make more sense in my opinion. If not, it's not like there are any investigators left to track them down, Seizaki is in a rage because of all this suicide around him, and the local authorities doesn't seem to care. Abnormal case of deaths, people. No one cares? Shoutout again to opposition number 1 from the debate, by the way haha. Okay in conclusion, this episode is straight out f**ked up, Magase Ai won't make me question evil anymore because you are literally summoned by Satan (lol), we've reached the last arc of the series and I preferred this episode's version of the theme song tbh. What? I have to find a way to make myself complete this episode. The last part is just too much I'm still recovering from Hiasa's... Hiasa... *sob* I HAVEN'T F***ED HER YET DUDE WHY YOU KILL HER lol stay away from me bitch (Oh and the next arc is due in a month so I get to reliever lol)"Many out there are going to help you fix your heart." Yeah but not by consent to death, to say the least, bro. You did well for your son but still deserve to go to jail not everyone need a heart fix this way lol

This week was quite a week in Klassic Note, but again like last week I really think it's because it's year end that I'm getting more strict in giving new songs tbh. Tomatsu Haruka's new single I'm giving up already because I seriously cannot be giving sub-par Anime theme songs at this time of year. See? My justifications are going to get even weaker from here on. But seriously though, did you see the release list for December? I'll make a tweet about that I promise haha. Moving on, in reverse I gave GLIM SPANKY's new single a chance since I decided not to give it earlier on following the previews and... I ended up giving one of the three songs in the release. So yeah, redemption I guess. And I'm going to give OMIGAWARA's new digital single probably the worst rating I can give her because of the built up hype within two weeks and even as a short song the full is a disaster. I'm getting used to it for my own good before I say yes to this, but guys, you have a serious composition problem like many that I don't want to nitpick because I still want to give the show and the song. *sigh* This sucks. And that's why we can never have good songs all the time. *laughs* Let's move on, shall we?音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club
If you had to scare the sh*t out of Miki-chan for me to say she is cute even though we don't get to see the other two... sure, whatever. *laughs* In this new episode (#SaikoroClub07) we almost got away without playing another board game or two lol. Wow, somehow it feels longer than usual, this episode. Okay, let's talk about it. Firstly, about Maki-chan being bored during summer holidays. I know, we could totally get a Miki-chan exclusive with just her hanging out in the cafe and doing nothing but no, this woman just dragged her out to the hills to play with water. Well, in return Miki-chan brought a game with her, and yes, it's not in case she has anyone to play with she just bought it she just didn't expect to play with whoever just saved her life as a kid. Anyways, since there are many ways to play "Monjirou", Maki-chan chose one with the insults (why), and of course Miki-chan lost badly. And as she said, she can't do insults because she's kind and compassionate enough to not be a d**k. It takes some level of instinct to win at a shouting game, mind you. Maki-chan be a good example lol. Flip that around, and Miki-chan can't stop praising how lovely Maki-chan is (I agree) (haha) because I can't help but see Miki-chan hanging out with a beautiful woman because in this part I think I've been blessed more than just cute girls in this series haha. That accent though, I guess I'll never get used to it tbh. Second half, it's student council vice chairperson flexing time, as Shibusawa since we saw her last time after failing to be convinced of Midori-chan's current situation instead of helping her to plan for the upcoming school festival because the chairperson is hospitalised, insisted on the rejection of their class proposal to host a board game cafe in school. Again, and I think the chairperson who came back in a limp also knows, it's whatever it takes to make the festival a good one. Shibusawa be too stuck on her emotions, seriously. Anyways, the chairperson (I really don't remember your name, senpai) (lol) probably read the proposal, somehow knew how to go to Saikoro Club by himself (don't ask me why), and decided to ask for the girls to show him a good time. *laughs* Okay, as in playing a board game. It's like a proposal presentation, but the easiest way to present board games is to play them, as Midori-chan mentioned. They played a game of rescue, where strategies are of utmost importance, and luck is not proportional to risk when you aren't holding the tile to game over lmao. All in all, a fun game, and obviously Shibusawa will live in agony knowing her nice senpai approved of the cafe haha. So yeah, more will get to know about board games, I guess. Midori-chan's creation though... she wants to be humble, and I doubt it should be subject to mass criticism (or praise), but hey, you do you, girl. We shall see if this holds up then. Next episode, we finally get to introduce the fourth girl? I like how in the preview Aya-chan says she saw a cute girl there- isn't that you? Haha we shall see for ourselves if she can top any of the three main next time. I highly doubt it will but (haha) (AYA-CHAN MVP ALWAYS lol)"Now we line up (these dice) to create insults to hurl at each other." Eh Maki-chan? I don't care about Miki-chan but can you be concerned about the TV ratings here? *laughs*

アニメ Babylon
Wow Seizaki, didn't realise you can get into illegal territory, you naughty man. *laughs* What is it though? We can talk about it here. Just... don't involve that witch lol. The new episode (#Babylon06) is at its pivotal point, I would argue, in this whole suicide law fiasco. And boy, what a plot twist we have here. Excitement (to not commit suicide) aside, let's talk about what happened. It's 2 days before election, 1 day before the public debate on TV. Problem is, no lead to arrest Itsuki. So how? Seizaki did the most wild decision I've seen in Anime forever, which is straight out go illegal. Because normally in drama you will go quietly to do evil, but this motherf***er just straight up disbanded the investigation group and decides to arrest, excuse me, kidnap the mayor himself. Brave move, dude. Sadly, as the one guy Kuji'in mentioned, since all of them heard it making them all accomplices, Seizaki is not going alone. Which brings us to the second half, the debate. Ugh, I didn't want to review on this part to be honest, but only putting a one-liner here might be too much of a compromise, so we will talk about it for once. For you, Anime. Four opposition against Itsuki on TV. Firstly, on socio-economical aspect. I would argue that the guy is fairly valid on worrying about suicide only increasing with the law in effect and it will gradually if not greatly impact society flow in general (I mean, can you predict who the next guy's occupation will be to commit suicide?), and Itsuki brought up examples to talk about how society behaviour might change in reverse if implemented (correctly or not we'll leave it for opposition number 4). As much as I think Itsuki is correct, it will be wrong immediately considering it is Japan. Best part is he mentioned drugs and legislating them compared to others who don't. And that's why you don't, bro, uh, I mean, dear author. *laughs* In context, Japan has a fairly traditional societal view on things and not as open as Western nations (don't quote me here), but suffice it to say that such a law will not allow people to think much rationally even if given the choice. The best related example I know of which is kind of valid for opposition number 3 (now you can quote me here) is that given a human or human-trained algorithm we have the tendency to do evil (search "twitter racist bot"), and for this case then people can be influenced to die without much barriers anymore, considering law isn't even a thing if it's allowed. Secondly, it's about ethics and accountability. Same as above, but now it will disrupt society as a group. If tomorrow I tell you someone won't be around for work you think that SME boss wouldn't go crazy and die too? (Don't worry boss I won't lol) Yeah, propagation is the biggest problem. Itsuki's argument here is totally shallow here, as he argues this with laws that do not exist being possible but have been allowed, for example homosexual marriage. Again, the opposition is right, that is not a law, and it has been spent a lot of time to analyze and to be allowed, and moreover it's not a crime, so he kind of brushed through that haha. Suicide isn't a crime too, just so you know. Itsuki decided to ignore opposition number 3 (to be honest I freaked out when the guy slammed the table during the debate haha wtf dude) in his argument since it's rather extreme talking about incitement being a law and he may have influenced 64 people to jump off the building (unlikely, as we mentioned) (which is why the investigation is going nowhere) by arguing that the legislation of suicide law will let people think about the act seriously. I mean, which brings us back to opposition 1 where people will tend to do evil. I mean (don't quote me on this, but) if I had a choice as a kid thinking irrationally I would die even at 26 OKAY MOVING ON Haha last but not least, Nomaru being the last opposition, taps on emotions. I mean, I'm an emo kid so he lost lmao (I'm the 2k+ people who already died in Shiniki during this period lol) but assuming I don't exist in Shiniki (haha) he argues that people's tendency to save people from suicide is high such that a law should not need to be legislated, and if need be only in controlled circumstances. The second point he didn't argue much because we'll come back to the other in a moment, but Itsuki can never argue that laws like this need time for planning and not immediate permission to be put into law. Even if he says it now his new parliament will hardly get any momentum going to fixate this into something people will accept, for starters. (Looking at you, Brexit) Going back, Nomaru then argues that if we are around someone who wants to commit suicide whether it be family or friend, then things like counselling and assistance will be given to those who think otherwise in society. Yes, that is a bind. Yes, that is kind of a rule that is the invisible societal contract we have signed since we were born, but emotionally he says we will not see people die if without good reason or things like "I don't want to live anymore". People, with or without a choice, have to live. That's, because there isn't a way to allow you to escape. And eventually, a meaning can be found. What if I told you you can die even long before you found meaning in life? Then that's it I guess? Not like Itsuki can argue that. To support his point, and I think this is the bad part, Nomaru brings out the kid who posted the video about his dad wanting to commit suicide. Man, and he allowed the kid to be elected into parliament? Yep, using Itsuki's election rules against himself. Haha more on that soon, but Nomaru promises the government will still be led by politicians, even if the kid isn't old enough yet. And here's the plot twist: the father of the kid is in the studio. Guess who it is yourself, please. So yeah, this show has turned into... kid versus dad in parliamentary elections? Well well, Anime, look what you have done. *laughs* This is a new territory in storytelling, that's for sure. So yeah, we shall see what happens next week then. I'll put a one-liner to end this later, but suffice it to say, it's pretty f**ked up as of now. Also, Itsuki still has Magase Ai along with him who can technically incite people to commit suicide. Soon it'll be a haven where she will be the forefather of teaching people the beauty of incitement to death (on whoever they want eliminated) and Itsuki will rule the new Japanese district haha yah right remember to write down "fictional Tokyo" for reference please haha I'm tired cya guys next week to see if Itsuki gets kidnapped or not (my guess is only Hiasa and Seizaki will be left out of the 23 people) (yes, left alive)"Can you handle whatever he throws at you?" Yeah, Nomaru? Even your kids? *laughs* Okay sorry for word pun

Why would you die if you had this as a wife? (Well, that's provided if you have one BOOM GOT ME) |
Okay, I don't have much time left this week so let's be quick as there's many to cover this week which I didn't notice again, if Google didn't remind me of music releases so thank you robot lol. Tomita Miyu's debut single is... fine, I guess, but I still don't get why they would choose her to do a solo music debut she's young. *laughs* So yeah, the B-side isn't that great so I skipped it. Yeah, sphere's new single too, because I thought I can give another chance and then realised that I can't. Moving on, yanaginagi's B-side compilation is... pretty fresh considering I don't really listen to her singles yet along B-sides so this is quite a listen. I may give a couple of songs if all goes well. seven oops' new album also releases this week which I listened over the weekend (before Harvest Moon took over me lol) and... I still think they excel in emotional songs. The topic song which was lively and light-hearted wasn't impressive as some of the emo songs in the list, to be honest.音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
アニメ Sora no Method OVA
The dad is so sadded her kid is hanging out with her friends but yeah in case you forget the mother isn't here already so yeah, real sadded. In this unexpected special episode (#SoraMeso17) which I guess numbering it would be useless especially when it's 5 years after this Anime original has aired... let's revise a bit, shall we? Firstly, Nonoka. She's the main girl. (She be voiced by Nan-chan) (I don't know her back in 2014 by the way but today... haha) She's the one who came back to this town after leaving in middle school, making a promise that she and her friends will be together forever... yes it was the father's fault for moving. Noel was technically summoned to fulfil this wish with strong emotions, in which case the saucer that is with Noel herself will not leave until it was fulfilled. That is pretty much the premise of the series. The OVA episode here adds in new secondary character Carol (Kouno Marika), who is a fellow saucer kid as Noel, but is here to tell her to move on. Although I would argue that if Noel wants to settle down and there aren't any monarchy above them saucers then why not just settle down, right? (At this age though? lol) But yeah, Noel the saucer kid has fulfilled her promise as per the saucer (it's not hanging in the sky anymore, for starters) ie. to be with the others forever. Yeah, kind of a flaw in premise, but that is precisely (maybe) why she hasn't left the town yet. And also probably why her blue saucer is nowhere to be seen. In Carol's perspective and thanks for the background clarification which isn't present up until this episode, their "job" is to go around to fulfil wishes using their saucer, so yeah, Noel is not doing her part as of now, settling into the cafe run by Yuzuki (Toyosaki Aki) and helping out as a waitress? Yeah, that might be a little too far. (THAT OUTFIT THOUGH lol) And thus, Carol decides to chase Noel's saucer away from the town. *gets serious flashbacks* Apart from the slight logic flaw which comes from the kid(s), it is obvious this episode just wants to inject some logic to the otherwise sensual series. Noel didn't give much reason to stay or fulfil the wish for Nonoka, because it didn't need reason. It needed a power to wish for it to come true. Add in cold-hearted think-a-lot Shione (Komatsu Mikako), ex-souvenir shop counter Koharu (Yoshimura Haruka) (I know all the girls now lmao) and baka aniki Souta (lol but I swear this was mentioned in the original series, by Yuzuki) and the group is reunited... for a celebration. The episode also centers about Noel's... beginnings? I guess she doesn't know when she was born (I guess we all don't), but Nonoka decided to make it an occasion: on the day the 5 of them made the wish. And Carol was invited too. Just that... she's reluctant. Firstly it feels like she's right or maybe she didn't get how Noel was technically stuck to this wish lol, but also because she is rather stubborn. Even after being treated to onsen, good food, and everything else in between (I did not see that bath scene lol), she still knows that it isn't right to stay since - and she's not wrong - the wish has been fulfilled. Whether Noel was counted in it... it's as vague as the last episode back then tbh. Not that I understand the series well because I promise you I have only seen the first episode again from like, half a year ago just for the feels and before they announced this, but yeah, that's what we know so far. And in a surprising twist (seriously?), remember Carol wanted Noel to leave? She wished for it too much and it happened. The saucer reacted. Noel was to be leave the place. But as you can see (spoiler because happy ending), Noel didn't leave so yay happy ending, since as much as the saucer(s) get to fulfil wishes, it also can be controlled. I guess maybe that's why Noel was still in this town. That... is as much as I can comprehend. How the two saucer kids share the same birthday though? I'll let you to think about this yourself. In a nutshell, it was a lovely trip to the past when I liked the Anime as little as Carol did of Noel (lol I made a dere joke there), the theme songs were nice, Marinka was a great choice for Carol's voice I guess (although I would argue anyone can take her place in this haha) and Noel's humming was so top grade, every time I hear that melody it brings a tear to my eye. Cya next time, saucer, and if you want to fulfil my wish for a season two starring just Carol fulfilling other people's wishes, I'll be sure to watch. That much, I can wish."I am a saucer, so I don't really know when I was born" This series in a nutshell haha Noel I don't know anything too tbh

アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club
Ahahaha shy Midori is kawaii~ *laughs* Okay, jokes aside (Midorin don't get offended by this please), the new episode (#SaikoroClub06) talks about a reality check? Uh oh. In case you didn't like the words "economics" and "creative work" please look away now- Don't worry I won't bore you with that because I can't stand it myself anyways. This episode, the girls playtest a game. Made by Midori-chan herself. Ignoring whoever Emilia is because she just appeared to say like, two lines lol, Midori-chan is making her own game. Sadly, it's not ready to be played yet. Well, according to her. Shunning her friends, she goes for the manager of Saikoro Club (I didn't know that was the official name of his shop) and in playtesting the guy's old pal... Who are you? "[in Japanese] I'm George Beresford" Who?? *laughs* Ah, it's always a joy shitting on Japanese speaking English lol. Anyways, some famous board game designer showed up in Midori-chan's life, and he does the bad guy's role by telling her the hard truth: you can't make a board game alone. Refusing to explain things because even I know what it is without watching this whole episode, and I guess you may have guessed it, it requires people to offer criticism and opinion about your game. If you make something and no one likes it, it's not a game it's just a creative work. Like me, I have a lot of creative works in the making that'll never complete lol. Anyways, she decides to rush it up using her own effort out of spite (haha I like myself a dere Midori-chan), and invites her two friends to play it. It's called "One Room", it's not a game that exists that's for sure (kudos on the author for not choosing something that exists haha I guess he's a designer too), and it's about working and buying stuff to fill up your house. And if you have playtested board games like I did (I just happen to know friends who want to earn a quick buck making board games) (yeah sad reality, isn't it) (I wasn't joking when I said "quick buck" though), you know that plenty of opinions will come in if you have played a game for the first time, especially when it doesn't cover all bases and has lack of opportunity to expand. (Did I just nail it for her though haha) And most importantly, point balance. All these require time to play through them in all cases and determine whether it'll make the most sense or in some cases, whether it'll be the most popular way to do it. That's how it'll win the hearts of the people who will buy your game. Again, it has to tie to economics. Okay reality check aside, Midori then realises George is right, as she notices one can't make a board game alone. Yeah, she's not alone George because she has friends who she can torture, uh, I mean, play with till the game is perfect!! (Don't think of the torture part, please) Well, I didn't expect things to be this technical, but hey, I've already gone this far, so I'm not complaining. MVP Midori-chan btw; I'll take shy girls any time of the day haha. Next episode seems like a more proper introduction to the new character Emilia, and we'll see what she has to offer. Looks like someone who might be German and looks like she knows a lot about board games, so maybe she can playtest someone's game too lol it isn't bad Midori-chan but might I offer another suggestion: you can stack items in your room, like on top of the table, which will by default give you more points than the table, which effectively allows patching of lower score items. Just saying. *laughs* Hey, if you have better ideas... tell the author you can't get Midori-chan btw lmao"You have always been soft on women" I don't really want to know the context of this, to be honest? *laughs*

アニメ Babylon
"We're going to be doing more evil deeds in the future" HELL YEAH haha please Seizaki stop saying stuff like this to your female assistant lol. In this new episode (#Babylon05) where talking about sex isn't overrated, we finally talk about the evil that is Magase Ai. Cue her uncle who technically is her stepuncle I suppose, and also a doctor of a mental institute. It took quite a few episodes to get to this, but despite the fact that Seizaki refused to believe, we might have some woman here who can drive people to die just from sexual seduction. The doctor described a past incident of students from her school with anxiety syndrome all saying the same thing: they were "raped" by Magase. How though I'm not going to explain too much because I swear the doctor is almost going to jerk off in front of the two investigators (and one of them is female btw, Jesus) (I mean, how can Hiasa not be offended by this lmao), but suffice it to say Magase is hot. So hot, jalapeños will wilt when she walks near it haha. (Can we get her an AV debut though? Haha just asking) And the doctor is even kind enough to give her "counselling" which basically in his own words are "I want to meet you everyday" and she gains from it because she is now a master seducer, if you haven't noticed by now. Back into investigations, Itsuki"Nothing happened, and they said they were raped?" Hmm she must be a great, sexy voice actress haha nope not providing examples

I mean seriously, who looks at this when they are 15 and wants to
*** already? Only those 7 people I guess lol |

| I look at this woman and I want to die for her already lmao especially if you know who voices this sexy girl (well she looks average but the voice) |
There are quite a lot of releases I guess I can talk about, but again considering it's this time of the year I will probably not give much to be honest. Amamiya Sora's new single is available on streaming from Day 1 (thanks MusicRay'n from here on) and... I didn't like it. Again, when everyone else is singing such songs it's hard to be happy giving this one. Seriously, that "Eternal" single would have been better. Think about it. Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new single for some drama is... okay? I think? I'm just giving chance here so don't ask too much haha. SCANDAL's new song is out now, and... I think it has style. Style that I may give. But since they are announcing something next week (more on that later) then I guess I'm holding back for now. The lyrics are the focus here though, I think. I would argue it sounds like an appeal to their music audience lol and finally sumika's single from last year because I remembered not giving KimiSui their theme songs this year and... we're not getting another Klassic Note Review, don't worry. (It's like I'm preventig it from happening lol) Also, no to sphere's new single. Oh we talked about it last time? Okay haha I just watched Gekidan Sphere so I'm just reminding myself (more on last para)音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club
Sorry for spoiling this, but yeah, someone's relative probably had a place for them to stay so they don't have to stay in a hotel lol I wonder how rich people in other Anime are when they don't have to do this. In this total fanservice episode (#SaikoroClub05) where everyone around Miki is just happy she has friends now lmao, she brings her friends to the beach. Yeah, what did I tell you? *laughs* So yeah, they went to the beach. By solving the hardest problem which is accomodation apparently, the girls had a chance to go to Kanazawa, go shopping, take a ofuro in the inn courtesy of Miki's aunt (it felt like she was blackmailed by the mother tbh), and... it rained. Oh well, let's go home. *laughs* Of course not, because besides Aya-chan being so sad and crying about it raining on the day they want to go to the beach, so is Takashi, the other kid in this inn who also desperately wants the same thing Aya-chan wants. The beach, guys, the beach. So, to offset that sadness, the girls play a board game with the kid until the rain stops because this is a board game Anime or else we'll have a full on bath scene haha. Introduce Kanazawa's unique shogi alternative, Goita. I don't think I want to explain the rules here since Midori-chan - excuse me, Professor Midori-chan - is being MVP already explaining games every episode probably knowing that she would chase the audience away if she also did it the first time playing it with the aunt (fourth wall explanations over here, so they can explain it to the kid), but seriously, how is the kid not even aroused at these onee-chan wearing their bikini under those thin shirts lmao. I'll be totally distracted by that and lose more times than Aya-chan btw lol. (I felt a strange awkwardness when they did not mention quite enough of chest size because Midori, she bares them all haha) (okay creep moment over let's move on) So for this episode, the idea is teamwork, or to say, play smartly according to what your partner is doing on the other side of the table since it's alternate turns and you don't play one after the other or together. Board game intinuition, they call it. This episode also brought upon Miki's flashback on how she didn't remember this game because once again, she got a bad impression of it when she was a kid. Man, why everyone is bullying Miki-chan those people deserve to go to hell lol. And to wrap this game up, and just as an advice for any game? Don't tell people "why you don't get it" without explaining why, especially on exceptions in game strategies. The victim will just either hate you or hate this game for life because they think it's too difficult for them. So yeah, teach them. Games are supposed to be fun. If you lost interest then that's it. That's... what I know from experience anyway since I'm a boring man. *laughs* Anyways, the episode is fun, we did get to see the girls in the beach as much as it is rather lacking (not for Midori-chan it's not) (BOOM haha), but we now know this was all a plan for the aunt to spy on the niece in place of the mother to assess whether she has made good friends or not. Well, I can't think of otherwise because this show isn't evil (well last episode maybe lol), but suffice it to say "there is nothing to worry about it mom" because Miki-chan got lucky, just like how she plays board games. *laughs* What, you want me to talk more about the girls half naked? *looks at them* Nah. *laughs* And next week looks like an episode I can really relate to, so I guess we can talk about beta-testing of new games next time."We're so lucky that Miki's aunt runs an inn!" I don't want to say this, Aya-chan, but yeah, this happens in Anime quite often lol

| This is basically all of us when we saw how wonderful this episode was lol |

Miki-chan, who is that to your right? *laughs* (Ah, it's Midori-chan) |

アニメ Babylon
But seriously, Itsuki. You did not create a solution; you just created more society problems. In this new episode (#Babylon04) of the new arc apparently, we try to stop all this from happening. You know, at least, reverse the declaration or something since he's the mayor and can do whatever he wants now like legalising suicide for whatever reason. So, before we go to the storytelling, and TL:DR; (why put it here though lol me) this episode is about the discussion about general approach to stopping Itsuki in his actions in preparation for the parliamentary elections. Now to the noob politics talk which I promise I'll keep it to this episode. Firstly, Seizaki's team. He has been given rights to investigate the incident and to arrest Itsuki... but according to current laws, and it's the same in Shiniki. So traditional Japan laws, and not that we can pass a new law to arrest him now, current ones. Those that can't do much, that is. So yeah, might as well learn new vocabulary since abetment is the focus here. Seizaki now had to gather as many investigators as he can to get to the truth. Next, we have a new a character to introduce. She... she's a robot. *laughs* But Seizaki is right: she is any number of times more useful than Fumio haha burning him even after he died lmao. She's Hiasa (so, so glad I can call you by your first name because I'm not Seizaki lol), relative of the Vice President of Justice, and an absolute genius in law, so this will make Seizaki's job easy since she's a walking encyclopedia. (Refer to postscript for personal opinions lmao) So yeah, he gathered the guys we've seen thus far, introduced us to... okay there are other new guys around but who cares haha (oh this guy, he looks like some Arrancar from BLEACH for some reason lol) (I SWEAR HE'S AN ACCOMPLICE TO EVIL lmao), and with only 10 days into the election and with Itsuki putting down election rules which will make him win especially when he explicitly stated that candidates must talk about the new suicide law (to be), this is going to get a lot of attention, but not a lot of likes as of now, so at least the society has some level of salvation. Still, this needs to be stopped, and we might have less leads than we can find. All 64 who jumped off the building can't be traced on motive, camera footage of the city doesn't reveal much, and Itsuki is still missing as he disseminates his announcements through online videos. To the end of the episode, the one special order of an undercover investigator who Seizaki hired has good leads on Itsuki himself which will probably be discussed a lot next episode: the fact that he still can't be found, and he has a history he can't tell when he was a student. That, and Magase Ai, it seems. So we shall find out. I mean, if influence isn't the thing that ties everything up, I don't know what will. So yeah, all in all this is turning out to be a fun investigation to watch, as much as it might be fast-paced because Seizaki be like "let's go" and he got results immediately shows how much power still is in his and Nomaru's hands, so hopefully things will continue to go well. Well, not until we realise Magase might be some evil witch who can cast spells or something lol I mean isn't she now? *laughs* (Well technically there's that fall asleep forever brew lol) We shall see for it ourselves. Be warned: his family and people around him might be sacrificed at any moment's notice, so don't get attached to them too much. Itsuki does seem to take the psychological path though, but that doesn't mean it can't lead to violence, so I'll be looking forward to that haha. Other than that, well... prove to me that this is a good story, Anime. I want to ensure Itsuki's survival to the extent that he can't kill himself and lives forever haha he might be God now to those people though. Ahem, excuse me, those "idiots". *laughs* What, I can't insult them now? Come for me, dead people haha okay that's quite enough I may be drugged or seduced soon lol"Is suicide really a bad thing?" Well, if you don't care about everyone else around you, then it isn't? Think about it.

Well, despite the lack of new songs I still did manage to give a listen to some of the recent releases that I may have missed, and catching up on earlier ones since it's the end of the year already and I'm not pressing for new ones now. fumika's new album is finally decided on, so... basically only one new new song because the other was from a digital single or something as I wait for this release to happen, and it did. So yeah, fumika this is as much as I will give for now. a flood of circle's 2011 album came from listening to them on a live video, so... I haven't really decided whether to give other songs in the album besides the one, so... maybe not I guess? I also got a listen to the new theme songs from Anime "Babylon" which were done by Q-MHz - the music producers group which is all the craze in Klassic Note like, 3 years ago lol - and... I liked the first one. The second one which was sung by Komatsu Mikako (yep, Mikakoshi) wasn't that great to be honest.音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
アニメ Houkago Saikoro Club
Hey, Midori-chan, if your "other things to do" is to play board games with other cute girls, you are forgiven. *laughs* In this why-so-serious new episode (#SaikoroClub04) we get a character focus episode, as with all slice-of-life. Sadly, it's not one we know of. Yeah, they literally throw you into a new character's life now that you sat in well to watch this series lol. It's Shibusawa Ren (Ren-chan from here on), the vice-chairperson of the student council of the school, and... somewhat related to Midori-chan. Firstly, the problem. Ren-chan needs help planning for the school festival, seeing the current chairperson is hospitalised for just having quite a quirky character lol, but yeah and her influence only works if there is an idea going, so yeah, everyone in the room is drawing blanks on new ideas is the issue. Then, she decides to ask for help. Who else to ask besides Midori-chan, the girl who was with her in student council in middle school, who was a genius planner full of ideas, and together will make them stronger than ever as a team? But of course, Midori refused such an offer. I mean, if you didn't even realise why she isn't in club meetings but in a board game shop, you need to watch episode 1 again haha. So yeah, even Ren-chan won't be able to influence the determination that is Midori who has decided to, hey not that everyone can, be a board game author. I know those exist, but hey, to know that they aren't shadowed by game companies and instead being placed their names upfront, that's what will make board games a work than merely a product. Much is to say that on video games besides indie but, you get the point. So... Ren-chan insists on her help, so she asked for a showdown. Again, for someone who knows how to play every single game in the shop, Ren-chan is asking for a duel she cannot win. Nonetheless, the game introduced is simple yet mind-blowing in concept that if you don't use your second brain of deception you are not going to succeed and end up with enough cows to build a barn out of it lol. (Not going to make the cow jokes on these girls since they don't have any milk-) So yeah, Ren-chan lost real quick surprisingly over Aya-chan who is the professional at losing lol (I guess she got used to the games she learnt a little about how not to lose too bad) and... yeah, left because she can't deal with the result. *laughs* Ah, what a sore loser. Anyways, when she says she will be back is not going to be a joke since we have half the series to cover lol, but we also now know a little more about Midori-chan's past. The reason she was in the board game... game lol, was because of her elder brother, who played a board game Catan with her when she was a kid (the game doesn't look easy as it's resource management) (man, Midori-chan must be some genius), brought her into the shop and that's when she met the manager for the first time. So yeah, deciding on her life dream now doesn't seem to be much of a far-fetched reality. It's not impossible, but hey, what's wrong with having dreams that are hard to achieve? Just like how Ren-chan has to do the school festival as her own being the leader of the student council, so Midori-chan's dream... they all are determined to make it happen. You know, that stereotypical encouragement Anime that Miki-chan is losing out on for some reason, but I'm sure she'll get around it by the end of this maybe haha. Next episode... I mean, if this is not fanservice I don't know what is this episode may be kid Midori-chan MVP but we know next week it's going to be Aya-chan WITH THE SWIMSUIT!!! *laughs* To end this, we are also introduced to the fourth main character of the series with the lovely yellow long hair reminiscent of another Anime character lol, so it might not be long before we know who she is. Don't tell me she is already a board game author Midori-chan is going to be sad haha or happy she can meet one tbh"The student council members must be an example to all students." Yeah, and look at you. *laughs*

アニメ Babylon
"Think about this well" Okay so is this a threat now? Ugh, no one wants to be involved with politics. But hey, did Seizaki mention that he wants to work for the benefit of the people? You ask for what you get, so make the decisions now. *laughs* In this if I'm not wrong, conclusive episode (#Babylon03) for the first arc of the series (yeah, that's fast), this just probably blew all of our minds as living humans (lol okay I'll try not to) trying to understand the logic of this story thus far, and yeah, it's as ridiculous as I expected. Hey, didn't know you are making a sequel, Edogawa Ranpo. *laughs* Okay, story. So, totally not as expected as last episode because I thought they were playing political here instead of psychological, Nomaru who was the leading candidate in the elections, is actually a good guy? Let me explain. So as with my deductions last week, I mentioned that Seizaki will have no much choice but to tell the truth, but he will not be able to continue investigations. So throw that out of the window since he still can, and surprisingly, it has NOTHING to do with what Nomaru intends to do on the new city Shiniki, with his negotiations with others and everything. But wait, it wasn't supposed to be this fast. Being in Magase Ai, someone the people in the Shiniki initiative knew about all along, was the primary... seducer, okay, negotiator (haha) (since we can assume in Japan that most leaders were men) of most of these stuff, which makes Shiniki's future bright and prospective with all the new laws, benefits and possibly solutions as a testbed to improve Japan as a country. It's all going well and all, but Seizaki is feeling doubtful. Why though? Mainly still because two people commited suicide over it. So yeah, the truth is because of that woman. Remember Emiko? As revealed by his higher-up, this was one of Magase's many disguises as a woman, to change her image and use her... seductive skills to control men, to summarise. Not that we won't take the bait because we aren't it yet lol, but suffice it to say that she might have been a double spy for Nomaru's plans since she was introduced from Itsuki, who is poised to become the new mayor himself since Nomaru has no plans to be one. If you didn't notice, introducing the woman was a solution AND a mistake. The politicians didn't get that correctly, but guess what, Seizaki's investigation group did. Firstly, from the evidence. From Fumio's steps, he was only discovered through pacing software (I assume this is the future where AI is awesome haha) that he was visiting a woman before he killed himself in the apartment to meet with Seizaki, and there were no traces of a third-party present. Not that the crime scene was cleaned perfectly after, but since it's clean means a drug is involved, which brings us to the next point. Second, the drug's real identity as prosecuted from the investigations group in episode 1. Turns out, it's a suicide drug. An insomnia drug engineered to make you sleep... forever. Yeah, what a way to go, yes? So since this doesn't really have much of a trace, it can be disguised, wait for it, BEFORE the new law takes effect, on other conventional methods of suicide to make it convincing. From overdose of anesthesia which probably no one can confirm if it's a viable way to die without hurting yourself, to hanging as from Fumio, they all look like normal ways of death. That is, if you use it with the drug. And who gave them the drug? Remember Itsuki? Remember Magase Ai? Yeah, you can make the connection. And so, the new mayor-to-be's objective is revealed. With dozens of people lined up on the tallest building in the city and you know, jumping off one by one, all we need to remember in this episode, and for goodness sake guys this is just Anime, is that this city just allowed suicide to be justified. So, if you do not know (because secretly I know of this fact when I was a kid I literally found out about it myself and saying it here might be illegal) that suicide is punishable by law, you got another thing coming. Especially those ones where you don't die, haha oh those are the worst. *evil laughs* Yeah, so turns out the evil is within thyself, fulfilling the pressures of living in society and seeking death as an option which quite a few youngsters have been doing as a reality check outside of the Anime... wow is this totally going up my alley. Oh, I won't kill myself though as I got to watch this till the end, but you get where this series is going. This, is going to be one hell of a ride for the next arc MIKAKOSHI IS SINGING THE NEXT THEME SONG!!! *laughs* Okay NOW I can't die haha I gotta live for next episode lmao"Did you all kill a person to achieve your plans?" Haha, that's what we want to know too, Seizaki.

This week... well I guess I can talk about them haha I mean, they aren't bad. And I'm in the mood for it so why not? Anime "Saikoro Club" ending theme single came out, it wasn't bad so I'm giving the topic song. sphere's new single dropped in unexpectedly, and despite them promoting the B-side which is also the theme song to their new drama short series on TV, don't expect another Klassic Note Review anytime soon because it wasn't great. Well, not until I give a watch on that which will not be this week to say the least. fumika's new album is... still on hold, as I struggle to even give one song based on my standards today haha. I'm sorry, fumika-san. I want to give you chance, so maybe, maybe I'll close one eye on two songs is as far as I'll get. 14-track album, by the way.音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
