Klassic Note Welfare Package December 2022 Part 2

If you wonder why I haven't done the yearly round-up of packages yet, this is why. *giggles* Also, this will be the final package that I will not be taxed on. To ship to my home country. Not Japan. *sigh* Let's talk about what we got!! Haha I'm sad enough from the work and work next week (dressed in a green patterned suit) (lol) so let's forget all of those and talk about what could've concluded 2022 last week! *laughs*

Hey, I know year end shipping will be a nightmare and even this one took way longer than it should have shipping at this time of the year, so I'm just glad I can go shopping tomorrow for Chinese New Year goods. *dabs* We will talk about those in a moment so let's happy hour!!




LIVERTINE AGE Ookubo Rumi collaboration Eco Bag
Ganbare Douki-chan Vol.8
Another Suruga-ya Run

But first!

*giggles*

You think I won't say that ever again huh UNBOXING!!!! *laughs* It's like shadow boxing (sorry for Anime joke I haven't gotten over "Romantic Killer" yet) but I'm gonna hit something and it's not the box itself so I would never lol
DAY MODE
(Seriously though who shoved this in the mailbox which my dad only opens once a day?)
NIGHT MODE
(Maybe it was a bad idea to show the receipt but this didn't come in a box so)

*peek*
Oh?

Ah yes I remember this name and how much I've resisted buying something from them just because lol

Okay this may be a product without much label and that's why it deserves a story even though I've known of this for years and NOW made a decision to get one, it's LIVERTINE AGE Ookubo Rumi collaboration eco bag!! Well it's basically stemmed from a collaboration series where fashion apparel label LIVERTINE AGE collaborates with... personalities on casual outfits and goods and particularly with voice actors some of them may have done it with them more than once, but this is a first for me, for the woman I like. *giggles* Anyways, I felt like I can buy something from here somehow, so I went with the middle priced bag which... man I expected this to carry loads of cup noodles but now that I look at it I don't think it can even carry my Surface Pro. *laughs* Maybe the lower priced cap would've been better for me to use to show a statement on my already tacky outdoor wear, but definitely NOT the higher priced hoodie just because it'll also be a pain to clean it seeing how my mom "destroyed" the T-shirts I bought last year just by putting it in a washing machine and under the sun- Let's not talk about that. You can see how it's done though (also how adorable she is haha suki) but in case you don't, just take it when I say RumiRumi came up with the design of all of the items, yes? I did not dream of this I swear lol

As you can see, this isn't going to carry your monthly groceries I don't think

Wow it even had side pockets so you can put... I don't know what people but in these bags lol

*peek*
Oh no wait haha

*peek*
Much better hehe

And this might be too late to the party but I guess it did release on the day of the recent Comiket, it's another issue of Ganbare Douki-chan!! Yay, we are EIGHT volumes in already holy sh*t haha, Yomu-sensei is into the coming of season theme starting from winter into the new year as you will see a glimpse of below, and we are still greeted in the new year with antics from Douki-chan's three main rivals(?) which are the senpai who can't deal with her feelings to the main dude, the kouhai who is super aggressive (in body) (and that applies to the voice actress too lmao) and might be sabotaging Douki-chan to some extent to get to the guy lol, and the shinjin who is just here to watch the show and hope some of the others would get their feet in if they really want the guy for themselves. So yeah, it's a level playing field, people, and we know who is the real winner here. *giggles* Now let's make her fat so one of the others wins lol inb4 it's the... sister of the senpai if I didn't remember wrongly? Haha oops too many women to remember

Also if you do read this some of them do have actual names if you read all the text because why wouldn't you *dabs* Maiko is the senpai's name haha kawaii

I've never been this dedicated to a physical comic release in my life, I tell ya

You ran out of contact lens? I'm a fan of glasses so sure hehe
(Fetishes, get it?)

See, she knows. *laughs*
Also, Douki-chan with the confusion as if she witnessed a disappearing act lol

The many (tsundere, by the way) words only narrows down to one conclusion: glasses are based haha

And the senpai wins hehe I'm so sorry Douki-chan

Haha she got shocked over the birthday surprise she was crying at the doorway

Someone PLEASE get Douki-chan's glass and don't get too distracted by-

Holy cr*p is that a whiskey drink from a woman's mouth??

Eroi haha yeah shinjin-chan you right also thanks for the save

You reject a man's confession and say you're the worst woman?
You know yourself too well lol

You think Douki-kun figured out meeting up "for work" on 24th December counts as a date too?
I mean, look at the girl haha

"Just in case" sexy underwear for the occasion that she gets laid-

Man, for a newcomer she knows that the present she got was not meant for her *wink*

And the senpai got mad haha why

This one's for me, this shot
*blessed*

How to know if a girl likes you

Man, every time the two are alone and this b*tch butts in haha literally
(That face though lmao)

I've only not eaten Tanuki Udon in the middle so maybe I'll go find one in Donki someday haha
(Between the others though I didn't favour Duck Soba so I'll take koukai- Uh, I mean, Fox Udon)

I like kouhai because I LOVE THEM TOFU- Let's move on shall we? Haha no bro I don't want your f**k a b*tch theory in here this is a wholesome series

I mean, do you need me to explain what their fortunes were?
(Hint: In order of luck)

Diet but still put on weight? Women problems amirite dudes??
(No prizes to guess who kept shoving food to her, it was that b*tch haha)

Okay maybe the occasional taiyaki is fine haha

Why I would go to the gym lol

Why I would end up not exercising at the gym lmao

As always, the Toranoana order comes with a free clear folder perfect to put your new book in
(Aligned for perfect overlap haha)

Last but not least...
*peek*

Oh hey Miyu-chan *giggles*

This is also why this was delayed release from Japan for a week and it also wouldn't have mattered since international shipping will delayed too, this is another Suruga-ya run!! Yes, last one... for last year haha we are doing the reset now folks lmao, and there really isn't much update for me to get anything recent after everyone has snatched on what they want from the physical store- It's months in the making, ladies and gentlemen. *giggles* Anyways, I just chose the ones who didn't really appear in my list too often so not Ten-chan lmao, and my mission of collecting bromides of Japanese voice actresses will not end... until I have to pay tax for them more than once. *silence* Can we just leave these used stuff forever? Maybe I should have gotten more this time around haha oh well

Stuff you won't be able to see on the stores of Japan no more because I can't won't resell these hehe




And this shall be it for now. I'm still heart pumping because I rushed home to do this because tomorrow will be shopping trip lmao, and I want to actually watch new Anime on Sunday before I go into hell haha, so this will be a short one. Maybe next post might be the round-up tomorrow if I have the time- I have NOT prepared for this because I want to make it look better but have NO IDEA- Well, more like NO TIME to think of how to. *giggles* Surprises again for next post I guess bye

P.S. A conversation between me and my mom, translated:

Mom: "Wow your calendar looks very nice! Where did you get it?"
Me: "I bought it"
Mom: "HUH??"
Because to Asian moms your calendars have to be given. By temples or companies wanting to earn a buck, so you don't have to buy one. But CLEARLY, I don't buy calendars to mark anything on them we have phones dude *dabs* Thanks mom haha nicest thing you mentioned to me this year *laughs*
I don't know what is worse: having an open mind but having heavy personal bias, or not having an open mind?

It sounds like both are the same, but actually I think I'm the former where I can take in advice but will never execute on them. "Where understanding is taking action" does not work in my case, since I won't take action anyways. And maybe that's why my life isn't much to talk about in the first place. Or I feel pressured to take action even.

The Entertainment News '23 Issue #01

Hmm... is this new title format concise enough? To Blogger it is, I want to support automation so I don't have to fix page URLs because I can't import them in anyways so I hope you like the Seigura-like naming system lol- Oh Rieri's on cover what a coincidence hehe

Aw man, promise me, me in 2023, that you will NOT binge watch an Anime series ever again. *laughs* My neck hurts from watching all afternoon I can't even- I DID NOT EVEN LISTEN TO SONGS ON THE NEW YEAR!! Haiz haha happy new year everybody

Speaking of new year, literally started with a bang, no, TWO bangs and not like I banged anyone *wink*, but refer to my Twitter if you are interested in DOAXVV, thanks. *laughs* Still best free-to-play game ever- Well, free-to-ogle, thanks. Well then again, not free I gave them money *giggles* Monica-chan daisuki

Well, I have planned on something and I will deliver, so let's talk about Heike Monogatari "Romantic Killer" I really feel indebted to the former after mentioning it THIS many times and giving it nothing so I'll give the latter and watch a romantic comedy instead!! Haha I'm sorry maybe "Koukyuu no Karasu" was enough




アニメ Romantic Killer
If you would ditch 3 things in your life in exchange for a life of romance, which would you choose? Yes. *laughs*
Wow how should I even talk about this series. Now that I'm done with the marathon many people like to do instead of watch weekly... I don't know where to start. *giggles* But I want to talk about it, as much as Anzu-chan will. So, about this series though (#RomanticKiller) I only started gaining interest by seeing the trailer and knowing who are voicing the main girls until I knew of how much of a romance comedy this would be, and now that I am done with it I can't believe I gave this a chance. Also, please feel bad, Anime producers, for always, and I mean ALWAYS, picking on Takahashi Rie for voicing a boyish voice for this main girl Anzu-chan, but with better reason in this case I believe. This romcom is gag-Anime style based, so jokes tend to drop everywhere in the form of violence as she deals with wizard Lily-chan voiced by Komatsu Mikako of all people, and many a times them doing male voices, so this is rather appropriate just minutes watching the first episode. Speaking of that though, I guess we should talk about the circumstances, right? Every romance series has that. This one might be simple or even common, some wizard appears in Anzu's life telling her to ditch all her necessities in life which are video games (BRUH haha), chocolate which we don't really have to talk about why even though Valentine's Day would be a good reason, and cats for comfort in order to focus on a life of romance. Yes. The life of being surrounded by handsome dudes. Always getting into romance situations at every corner. Please, Anzu, people like us DREAM of such a reality. *laughs* But turns out, it didn't take much to do so. From arranging coincidences like you know, what life is about in general we gotta start somewhere, to bringing in your childhood friend(s) haha, to getting even the rich kids in lol... one has to ponder every single time where the magic (*wink*) is coming from or even whether these are all done by Lily's hands. Here's a hint: Sometimes they are, many a times they aren't. Because more than unlikely, this is not a "okay I will make some handsome dude appear" similar to how Lily eventually had to transform themselves into a dude to date her but *laughs* even breaking Tsukasa's phone was a way to ditch his social life of discrimination; Lily actually finds the right people for the job. Hey, it's a job though, so you gotta make it good, right? That's how they get the bonus, dude. *giggles* (Can we stop with the company jokes though? Not funny to start the year with this- If I don't get this year's bonus I'll change my job lol) Tsukasa bumped onto Anzu to start her off and make her feel bad about breaking someone's phone which you know, considering the guy lives alone on expenses one can't expect him to get another one quickly so yeah it's on her haha. Junta who was once thought made up by Lily through memory manipulation (hehe TYPICAL) turned out to be an actual kid she knew in elementary school. Even Hijiri was set up to give Anzu more options than ever in the ever-changing world she was about to experience. You know, to give her the best experience they can. But Anzu isn't taking any of that. Not that she isn't into romance, because well, like every romance, it takes time. Though not forced, it was certainly set up or even sped up in order to achieve the best/worst case possible depending which side you're on haha Anzu will meet Junta in the future if not for this, but it was never faked. But what was eventually the reality moving forward came in in several forms, I think it was worth watching even for not the laughs. Firstly, friendship. Yes, it's cheesy to even talk about that, but reality check, the bait was never a happy ending. Yep, they did not give you one. I mean, this is not exactly a harem but uh... no? *laughs* So yeah, what was promoted more often than ever was friends. Being together and helping each other out because turns out, Anzu is a great friend in times of need. With her overflowing confidence in helping people around her (yes even taking hits from the stalker *pukes* same Tsukasa, same), she has created a surprisingly lovely social circle with forgiveness and truth to make even jealousy seem like a magic wand in a pile of poop. *giggles* As in a joke, by the way. *laughs* That is probably what drives the series well haha not the poop though, because time and time again we witness flashbacks of Anzu making people happier, let them confront their fears, heck, even saving their lives entirely. And that's the thing people lack. Even me. *silence* Moving on, secondly, how potentially dark the themes can be in this series. I can see that weird pervert of a senpai of Saki-chan but I really did NOT expect a panties thief (lol) let alone a STALKER by the way haha thanks Hikasa Youko we could not have done this without you I apologize for your sacrifice and acting, because being a joke of a series one would expect it to not be this dark, but goddamn, Yukana-san you might need therapy. Or worse. Yikes, this maybe even minikui, more of shota but we will not make that joke for now lol this is truly extreme when it has to. Last but not least as we come full circle, the jokes. The references in this series hit you the best way possible, I swear the author is still stuck in the 2000s haha, but they knew to write stuff relevant to the present time too, so violence and threatening words are just typical I won't even say otherwise since the timing is just *chef's kiss* you will not have wondered what hit you every time. And that, I really can't explain how well it compliments the storytelling. The rapport between Lily and Anzu is just great too, because remember we had to deal with the idea of something being magic? It's that chance that will cause interjections to happen whenever, and that is just icing on this cake to be honest. All in all, this story isn't going to make you love any number of them, because everyone played a part in the storytelling, and that's what I think makes this series work, easily seen by how (almost) all the dudes can help confront two street thugs. The magic isn't going to make you think it's super forced, though at times you would wonder how Tsukasa's apartment got into Anime "Nagi no Asukara" lmao underwater joke. The story is not going to make you satisfied even with the romance premise and all, but I'm sure I will see you in tears. This Anime has everything, dude. It's hard to pinpoint what is bad. And you know, I'm a simp for the female voice cast and that's why I'm here in the first place so... I'm just happy I decided to give this a watch. Definitely makes my neck hurt staring at this all day and it's not because Anzu pulled my shirt collar lmao please do though

Oh, and as such, by the way, I will NOT be talking about Klassic Note just one day into the new year. Not even YURiKA-san as the above Anime's opening. *giggles* See you guys next time then, and if I have time tomorrow which is also a public holiday *dabs* then I might just do up the GIFs since the expressions on this is just too good it's hard to miss out. *laughs* So yeah sorry for late post lol also Klassic Note stuff we don't have time for that already thanks to the Hype Train I joined this morning on my regular Twitch streamer I should have started this morning lol bye I seriously need to rest my neck

P.S. And because I can't get enough of this Anime a day later, here are some references you may have noticed watching the series:
This is an Amazon reference because definition lol
(Also, this is for Anzu the ones for Kazuki I won't even)
This is a Phoenix Wright reference if you knew of the series
(They just didn't say "Rejection!" because copyright)
And if you don't know of video games from left to right on the table are Playstation VR, Nintendo Switch with their tablet console design, and chocolate lol
