*sigh*

I think I'm doomed. My final year project/thesis/whatever you call that project which ends your university/college final year. Oh well, I blame myself for submitting to peer pressure in choosing a professor and project early. I think I would have gotten an easier life if I were to be chosen somehow. My luck on extremely important events has been rather good anyways.

*sigh*

I think I'll blame myself on this, Prof. It's not your fault for saying that I'm dealing with "trash" and "didn't have anything to show off". You don't like experimentation-based projects, I guess.

*sigh*

Okay, I'm done. Remove ALL that negative feelings away, for we got some Anime to watch! (Actually was totally wanting to watch this on Friday immediately after the last of Anime to air this week but I also had to meet for a demo on Friday, you know)



をニパ Fumikiri Jikan
If you've only heard the word "eroi" for the whole video, you're not alone. The new episode (#FumikiriJikan02) talks about women. Sorry, ladies. But yeah, it's a classmate thing again. But this time, it's one of the guys against one of the hottest female classmates in class. Well, if you're staring at her the wrong way no one will blame you I guess, but yeah, I guess the overemphasis of this is kind of irritating haha. Nonetheless, it's entertaining as heck, and yeah they do make your wish come true (in Anime) by giving some form of interaction where... Majima-san? (Sorry only heard the one word lol) Yeah, she does up your tie. Well that's kind of cliche of a plot, but hey, he got laid. Well, about the amount of time the train passes only though, as he stays stunned by her beauty. But hey, a little background will make sense but no follow-ups will likely make this anti-climactic, because this is likely what we'll get. No seriously, this it it. Now go fap in a corner if you need to lol
I don't ****** as dramatically as this kid does lol
P.S. WHAT IS WITH THE VOICE OF THE GIRL??? No really, REALLY weird. It was as if I was hearing from a mature voice somehow... Oh it's the girl who sang the theme song. Oh.

をニパ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai
If I can have a younger sister in life, it'd better be Yui-chan, yes? Come on she has a bright pink schoolbag... *giggles*
And hey Yui-chan isn't the only thing that shines so much it's brighter than everyone else. Right, Alec-san? *laughs* The new episode (#TadaKun03) is literally a whole episode from the cat's perspective (thanks production!!) (also, voiced by this guy as I found out because I find familiarity inΒ his voice), and boy did it bring up a different view. Well, at least, where the topic of love is concerned. I mean, it fell in love lol. Okay, the plot. It shows another lovely day of Tada-kun's life with Teresa-chan, and after a morning coffee the guys so on a photo shoot to try to nail that competition prize, I guess. Sounds short, but many things happened which focus on the details on what happened but in the perspective of the cat. Interactions may be right or wrong (the old man nailed it though), but all in all very entertaining to watch as it explains the many reasons for the cat's reactions for the first couple of episodes, from hating Ijuin to how it got fat lol. Also, we got quite a flashback as to how Teresa-chan... got disciplines to behave herself and not act abruptly because she is- Well you know haha. (Also, I don't care about Ijuin's backstory haha) All in all, another wonderful episode to watch, and I shouldn't spoil too much on this, but yeah since "Tada-kun won't fall in love" you would expect the affection to come from somewhere, yes? Looking at you, Teresa-chan hehe (oh also spoilers below so if you haven't watched) oh also Alec-san very interesting girl as we have found out (remember the secondary character development thing?)
[NYANKO BIG MONTAGE!! Haha what do you think will be in the thumbnail(s)?]
P.S. I thought it'll be a good joke that Teresa-chan will switch hands just to avoid an indirect kiss from a coffee cup oh this isn't Wotakoi?? Oops haha but hey the cat knows what's up
P.P.S. "If a man and a woman stare at each other for..." And I'm like "BRING THAT COUNTER UP" and it didn't happen. Hey, it's only episode 3, guys. Gotta have a little more patience lol "If a woman stares at her cup for more than 8 seconds..." *laughs*
(Okay last one: "It's not that sweet" followed by Tada-kun's voice reminded me of a certain Anime episode titled "Life is not that easy" - winners who know where this episode comes from will get a prize of knowing why. Answer, and for winners only) (Honor system, guys)

をニパ Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii
Hmm to be honest? I find the new episode (#WotaKoi02) kind of boring. Yeah, and I'm not sure why. Let's break it down, yes? The episode just talks about the not-so-confession confession from Hitotaka-kun (I can only remember this name) and what happened after that... stalemate? Seriously? You guys haven't done anything yet though? But yeah, this episode specifically deals with character development, as we see Hana and the other guy try to get along as the four of them start to hang out. It's real awkward though, the interactions, which made me feel like the drama has been dragged out for some reason. The random kind of unrelated stuff strikes back again like how Anime "Slow Start" does it, and it seems irrelevant or even uninteresting at times, from whatever genre they're talking about to the differences between reading books and gaming and stuff. It's starting to get just a little boring. I don't know man, but if you're still watching this you would definitely love the winks (lol), the somewhat awkward interactions between the other two people who look like they have been in love at some point but broke up already (I don't know) and their love for everything otaku. That, I'd rather they not emphasise on this too much because the context is not strong. And that makes it worse in comparison. For me it's either you specify a certain something (like "100% Kataomoi" lol) or you don't, like Anime "Gamers". It's kind of bad to be in between, where there's some and it's not elaborated on. But I get where this is going; it's to show the side of relationships with that obstacle of otaku and love for stuff but not real life people. I get it, but I feel one should be emphasized more than the other would be better imo though. What do you guys think? Do you think I'm quitting this series already? I may just, and we'll see if I do next episode hehe

ζΌ«η”» Nagasarete Airantou
The new chapters (158,159) (turns out I may have missed one of them) (wow Volume 26, huh) talk about the TRUE Lord of the South. No, not that cat who is sensei to Suzu-chan. Someone bigger than that cat. Someone, who can punch a hole in a cave without leaving a trace. Someone, who no one has ever seen before but yet exists 100 years ago. The cat did go on to find out who the true identity of the Lord is, but eventually... Hmm, sounds like an interesting tale. I guess it may be boring at this long of chapters already, but somehow I can get into the mood well with nosebleed (lol Ikuto), jealousy, some mythical tales (someday the island will be able to link with the rest of the country maybe) and a lot more. And that, I'll continue reading. Between Suzu-chan and Ikuto's sister Misaki... man, Ikuto's a lucky guy. Haha and I think I said that from the very start already
Suzu-chan, she jealous cute.
P.S. I thought the Genjuumaru jokes were funny until I remembered this Suzu-chan face haha

音ζ₯½ This Week on Klassic Note
This week didn't bring much music to the table, so I had to go back a little. yucat's latest album has finally got so some conclusion and I'll be giving one song and that's it, I suppose. I also took a listen to ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION bootleg albums (if you follow on Twitter you should know) and there are some classic Ajikan titles in there, really. *sigh* I miss good old Ajikan. Even the new song in the best album can't hold up by itself. That's how far they are already. I also took some time to flip through the songs from label PONY CANYON Anime in Apple Music to try to get sources which are unlikely to find without streaming like that "Alternative Girls" character song series which has been released by the label since last year.

Next week brings us Yuuki Aoi's new single which I may or may not listen (now it's the latter instead of the former), and of course, the much long awaited Aqua Timez new album. Yes. It has finally come. The topic song isn't impressive, but that's not going to stop me from giving them new songs. And I swear, they are still the longest-lasting Collection Artist in Klassic Note till date, and I like that. It's been ten years, people. A lot have fallen out of league, but these guys... that's why they are great. We'll talk more on them next week.

Some Twitter activities this week include a confirmation of miwa's best album coming in July (when the tracklist comes out we'll see if I can get most of the 28 songs or not chances are I can I only missed like 3 singles haha), Chatmonchy's final (mini) album confirmed for 27th June this year and a final tour before ending their music career (see what I'm saying about falling out of league?), and I've also done some sharing of my experience listening to Horie Yui and Hikasa Youko back in 2013. Damn, those were good times.

(Be sure to check out the Klassic Note 2013 compilation "The Indisputable Anison" for more wonderful Anime theme songs from that year)



Well, I'm done. Cya guys next week again then, and until then... I'm finding something to forget about my... sadness. Yeah, you guessed it: Dead or Alive beach volleyball!! *laughs* Well I'm just trying out the freemium game in DMM (don't say yes to the mature content warning and you'll still find this) because they've been putting ads on their new character Tamaki (voiced by the lovely, lovely Oonishi Saori) (yeah, and the character's sadistic too hehe) but I've not gotten my hands (literally) on her though. It's hard to even play the game considering I'm reading a bunch of Japanese text and got an inventory of swimsuits and accessories enough to stuff my sling bag lol. (Ah then again it's swimsuits, so... lol broke my joke) Well, I'm going back to look at swinging babes, if you'll excuse me. *laughs* I'm still not that pleased on the 3D graphics of today though because clearly there's still a certain level of conflict in graphics when they swing their hair, put their hands on the table with a cloth for example, and so on. Don't ask me why, I just think it's still unnatural. Half the reason why I'm not into these games yet. Well, I won't say that now though gotta go back and swing those tit-
