Now that I have some time to breathe (and forget about that proj-) let's talk entertainment!! Yeah!! Okay, I'm not that high I'm just happy I'm not dead yet lol. You see, this is not the first time I felt so weak and useless at my efforts...

Nope, we're not dampening this post any further. I'm in happy land now, so let's be happy. *sigh* Okay, let's get right to it! I'm trying real hard to kill my depressed self right now

(Sidenote: Playing a volleyball game full of 3D girls is helping me curb depression haha) (I need to get Misaki-chan someday WHY DID I NOT CHOOSE HER AS ONE OF THE TWO IN THE BEGINNING??) (FYI 3 out of the 12 characters have no fighting experience hehe I checked them all) (FYI x2 in order I chose Kokoro-chan and apparently she's a successor in DOA or something and Kasumi from OG DoA because I don't mind getting beaten lol) (I only checked their background after I chose them based on their profile, you know, where occupation is just in one line and you ignore it easily) (cute girls only people we're NOT playing a fighting game)

アニメ Fumikiri Jikan

If you're thinking that it's something else besides someone holding on their laugh you're- Oh it's just me haha

The new episode (#FumikiriJikan03) just gets funnier every time you watch it, this time it's interaction between teacher and student. And you're right sensei, you should keep your mouth shut. *laughs* Okay, maybe not since it's kind of manners to talk to students but yeah, normally people don't want to. Age gap or whatever, at least don't screw up the introductions, yes? And that's where the landslide happens because the girl looks like she got an or**** or something lol and really she's just trying not to laugh at a seemingly professional figure. I mean, you can laugh girl; the teacher totally sh*t on himiself this time. Now it's gotta be a talking point in class later haha sensei you lucky she is quiet in class

Those ecstasy shots are so great I just can't

P.S. Reading the credits they are voiced by (no wonder I find them familiar maybe) Honda Mariko (as Aioi Yuuko in Nichijou) and Yasuhiro Mamiya (as Fecor in Shana season 2) (wait, who?) okay maybe not so familiar now I thought it was like Marinka or something haha

アニメ Tada-kun wa Koi wo Shinai

I'm like "Pin-senpai you're describing that one girl with the brown hair in your club room" lol

I know I should'nt be "Jougasaki-ing*" this episode (#TadaKun04) but yeah Pin-senpai you've gone WAY too far in describing breasts lol okay let's talk about the rest of the plot. Hmm since this is a character development episode again (last episode was that cat lol) let's go into some level of detail. Of course, it's about love. Firstly, I'd like to compliment the production for making the story resound so well in everyone's minds: an otaku's trip to a fan meeting. Yeah. Haven't happened to me, but I feel this is going to be what it's like someday lol I'm already 25 (Ten-chan I'm coming for you someday I promise) Okay back to the episode. Reality check because it's really, REALLY hard to get into a fan meeting event limited to a hundred people (You don't even know; FYI do you know idol concert tickets in Japan are also randomly allocated? Yeah you still need to have some luck to be one of them) so yeah undoubtedly one will get excited. But as expected, Pin-senpai is your stereotypical, shy, awkward and totally fanboy... fanboy. Which becomes a problem. Considering all that you're meeting someone who is famous, beautiful, and... right in front of you?? Yeah, he got to rehearse with the chairperson of the class. I mean, if you have been noticing Alec-san (well, I have) then you'll know her sixth sense is spot on because she put two and two together so HINAko won't sound unfamiliar anymore. Eh? That's it? Not really, for she's the only one who noticed it though lol. Fast forward to the meeting where (here's where I compliment the story writer) Pin-senpai dresses like a punk from the 80s lol and has to change out to a more... normal outfit which is whoever loses that scissors paper stone between the three guys (lol sorry Tada-kun) and then... Pin-senpai ran out of time to speak to the woman. Yeah, he flubbed it. Script (because it's in the other set of clothes), attire, articulation... he screwed it up bad. Despite the catastrophic failure, we get a hint from HINA-san which is quite literally, an awakening for the guy. Maybe. But yeah, I thought that was it. I guess it's not. Even the phone call kind of cemented it. I guess I was wrong then. But yeah, the day will come to light where that idiot senpai can link them up someday which is like in 5 episodes haha, and so will Teresa-chan. Links back really well, and makes you think more. But yeah, I don't think it'll have much of an impact as Alec-san mentioned, but it'll be a hell of a reveal. More than Pin-senpai and HINA-san or not? We'll have to see it for ourselves.

You know you look hip when...

*Jougasaki (verb) - to describe a woman's breasts in great detail (lol I'm not joking go watch episode 2 of "Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei")
P.S. "Once you fall in love you end up doing what you're told" wow that's real deep haven't got to that yet though personally haha Alec-san may I?? *gets punched*
P.P.S. *looks at Tada-kun volley* Seriously, what I lack in life is times where I look cool. *silence* WHAT??
[GIF FEVER!!! Just can't help haha]

When you got tickets to a special event
which is harder to win than lottery lol

アニメ Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii

"Narumi couldn't remember which pair of underwear she was wearing" SHE GONNA GET LAID haha

I'm going to summarise the quote above as a general opinion of the whole episode because in this new episode (#WotaKoi03) if you didn't laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME the girl refers to herself ie. "Narumi..." (or "Narus..." lol) you didn't laugh enough at this lovely show haha. And yeah, you bet I got bought in with the (spoilers right after this section) KISSING SCENE!!! WHOO!! Man, when's the last time I saw one of those in Anime?? *laughs* (I'm sorry if the capitalisation also made you see spoilers lol I just can't help but) So yeah, I'll be giving this show, and it's not because of this only, I swear. The episode talks evenly about two things I've been inquiring since the first episode, which are otaku-related events, and socialisation events with the four of them, the main characters. So yeah, both got answered well. Firstly, it's all but jokes in the Co***** event (I mean, there's only the one) as Narumi rushes to finish her latest work and managed to sell it to interested patrons. Hey, in case you don't know what is happening (I'm not an otaku btw) (well not entirely) doujinshi which are better known as indie manga publishers push their work on these seasonal events (that makes 4 times a year, "spring event" in real life is actually this weekend) along with many other enthusiasts including games, cosplayers, and... rated content. Yeah. So the guys obviously are interested in all these stuff, it was a joy to see the confusion that Hirotaka gets sitting there and selling BL ("boy's love", meaning gay) manga alone haha, and yes the cosplayer. So yeah, that is settled. I'm okay with all of these, actually, mainly because it's entertaining instead of irritating. Second half then talk about Narumi ~~getting laid~~ playing games with Hirotaka when she thought they'll be all alone... it's a sleepover!! *horn sounds* So yeah she didn't really get it, but she still got it. It's hard to determine even as of now what kind of stuff Hirotaka-kun likes besides games (*wink* Mario Kart) but yeah apparently it's also 2D girls with huge boobs (#realitycheck) and... her. Hey, I'm loving this story already. Comparatively not as epic as that Anime original above (sorry author, Anime production has gotten better in recent years) but I'm liking the mood of the show already. A kissing scene this early? They totally sealed the deal for this guy who almost wanted to be out because of those... I'll think of a way to give the theme songs somehow haha *rolls eyes*

I'd like to bring your focus to the left side of this image... lol the faces
(Also, the production saving money by using these facial expressions?)

P.S. "It's all thanks to the power of moe" *points at Hirotaka* What about this guy? lol
P.P.S. Okay I finally got the "Asahi Super~" because if you say "Dry" as in the name of the drink it means it's dry in your- (the second time Hirotaka mentions that to the guy friend you should get it)
(I-promise-it-is-the-last-one-because-I-can't-put-any-more-postscripts postscript: Try listening - or just staring at the subtitles - without watching the footage right after the ending theme you'll be surprised how much it resembles a sex scene aftermath lol)

漫画 Kuroshitsuji

So wait, if Ciel dies from cancer then...? Then good game I guess haha

It's been some time already, so let's catch up to what I've missed. The new chapters (137-139) were worth the wait, though I did not intentionally wait for it I just forget this still exists lol licensed manga sucks haha. Okay, the plot. The last time we were here, the (from here on unless otherwise stated, I'll use to reference the brother) "other Ciel" got killed, the brother. And the (now) Ciel Ciel did something... weird. He managed to be able to, by witnessing his brother's death, summon upon the demon for some reason. Hey, it's the story, so hold on to your horses for a moment. So yeah, it's (unnamed) Sebastian, seeking the one who called him from hell, apparently. So yeah, Ciel then decided to exact revenge on whatever the heck happened to his family up till this point, and yeah, with power. Ultimate power which will make him ~~hit the goal without actually doing it himself~~ okay he wants to do it himself anyways, so yeah demon, you're out of luck. The other half is merely talking out the conditions of the contract which will cement the demon to not - by any circumstances - not do his duty or kill Ciel the moment he can before his goal is reached. Hey, idiot-proofing course at 10 years old; didn't your school teach that today? *laughs* Anyway, it'll be spoiler from here on, but yes he gets three wishes (cliche) and they are, within the time of the contract, (1) to not lie to Ciel regardless of circumstances - Sebastian has done quite well up till now unless there are some things he himself do not understand, though to think about it he actually might know who did all these to the Phantomhive family, so... he's lying? (2) to obey all orders from Ciel without fail, especially under command - which explains the "it's an order" and "yes, my lord" thing after what, 137 chapters? That, Sebastian has done pretty well too, not that we know if he has done anything behind his back lol (3) to protect Ciel at all costs - which will explain his near-deaths despite Sebastian being the one getting killed over and over again and he can still make sure Ciel is not dead good job Yana-chan-sensei haha but yeah this one is easy. But makes you wonder, what about the betrayal part though? Well, technically it's covered in the lying and obeying orders too so yeah that's in it too. Which brings us to the big question back to the original arc we probably forgot: what happened that made other Ciel (which we have learnt is the REAL McCoy, the older twin, and the prospective leader of the house) appear? Isn't he stabbed and gutted to a mess? Hey, remember the blood transfusion thing? Remember.... Undertaker?? Yeah, this is going to get real cringy in the next few chapters. Hopefully. Yana-chan-sensei, I demand a conclusion. Try to do it within the year, yes? I've gotten tired of waiting. Like Sebastian, for Ciel to exact his revenge. *giggles*

lol you bet he is haha

漫画 Dagashi Kashi

The hallucination of Kokonotsu of Hotaru-chan in the omake lol

The "latest" chapter (124) with omake concludes the 7th volume of the manga, and man, you guys know the plot already. Kokonotsu went to the review for new manga artists... and failed. I don't want to say how similar it is to my life right now (lol) but yeah this boy is reflecting it hard. Not until he got harder after seeing the huge-chested girl in front of his eyes haha. Okay, jokes aside, we know this is going to conclude because the author has recently announced the ending to this series (it's volume 11, but we're WAY far from this here), and hell yeah will we get an ending. I hope. I don't think this is it, which is why this will only get more interesting. Will Kokonotsu pursue his dreams as a manga author or...? We just have to wait to find out.

Not as cute as the one in the Anime haha

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Now that I have some time to breathe (and forget about that proj-) (not deja vu I wrote this first lol) I've set down to give more songs. And man, I hope this won't end up to be a fortnightly thing where I only update my list of songs less frequently than like, twice a week. Yeah, it was a thing. Okay, the releases. I threw Yuuki Aoi's new single out of the window because obviously that's not her voice for some reason (screw you Anime it's your fault), I finally concluded on giving yucat's latest mini-album by just giving the one song I've been listening to for a month lol, I've also started giving songs from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION bootleg compilations because I totally miss their old style of alternative rock (when it still was 10 years ago), and I finally got hold on that Game "Alternative Girls" and their character songs namely because I remembered that the label behind it finally is releasing their stuff on Apple Music Japan (so yeah Miyaka you're in the list), which... won't help make a better impression on the latest release. It wasn't good, to be honest. And I've been lenient since last year, mind you.

Finally I've gotten those old(er) releases out of the way, let's talk about the latest stuff released this week. Aqua Timez's new album is... I think my tweet summarises it well:

As of now it's like this. Pretty generous, I would say.

Dear Aqua Timez, I still like your music, but it's waning. And I'm worried. I will surely give more if small changes were made (to suit my tastes lol)

Good night. pic.twitter.com/ZiVBktVXs1

But then again I'm not really in the mood to give, and they are kind of holding on to their pop style which I like as shown in the topic song which I'm giving as of now, so they'll stay for a week. Although I better give them more before next week comes up. (Later paragraph, guys) Also, since I've given the Anime "Wotakoi" as it is called, I have to, you know, give at least one of the theme songs. And hey what timely release is sumika's new mini-album which featured that opening theme song and... I don't want to argue. The song can get used to maybe. I'd love to pinpoint what I dislike but nah I'll learn to like the weird transition in the verses lol.

Next week brings us quite a couple of albums actually, and I can't wait to get my hands (literally) on them, including Tomatsu Haruka's new album after her best albums since 2016 and Middle Kids is releasing their debut full album (if you do not know of them they currently represent the Australian indie artist voice) after their first release last year making them the only English artist in Klassic Note in 2017 lol. Well, the following week is crazier but I'll leave this here for now.

Latest Twitter activity include Tsuji Shion's latest attempt in writing a new song "Sekai de YEAH" based on her Asia journey (yes, Singapore is included yeah my hometown <= see what I did there?) and you can view the music video on the website which I liked that Tweet (hehe go there and watch you lazy idiot) and Yoshioka Kiyoe - the voice of Ikimonogakari - is finally announcing her solo debut (yep, without the two composers) with... a song cover which is for a commercial, but that's not the point. Solo debut, people. We're going to get more- Well I wouldn't say "Ikimono songs", but hey, she can sing anything. Blow my mind away, Kiyoe-san.

I'm done. I'm ending this earlier because it's exam season and... I got a paper tomorrow. The good news is that I can afford to save some effort in studying for it because I intend to void the grade or whatever you call it internationally. The bad news is that I cannot afford to flunk it. Well it's not that far my project is way worse-

...

*cries*

...

*wipes tears* But yeah, going into that evening paper tomorrow with a light heart, I suppose. Also, the idolism thing in this week's episode of Anime "Tada-kun" is really making me want to meet the voice actresses I know especially when people go to reddit to brag about their fan meets (dammit!). I guess I gotta do this someday. I hope. Or not. Maybe not. That is such a far thing, it's not worth pursuing. Besides, one can only like someone far away this much. And again, I'm ready to throw away everything for anyone who can do the mutual love thing with me anytime in the future. Not happening yet, so that's great. *laughs* Okay cya guys next week then, and hopefully by then... I'll be halfway done with my exams. Yeah. 'Tis gonna be a long week ahead.
