Ah, what a Sunday, doing overtime because I have to haha

Okay, managed to clear Anime also just now and considering it's end of season, I've got plenty to say so be sure to check it out below. Also, since this is all the time I had to do this, I updated plenty of Klassic Note stuff and the website. That's it.

Well, read on already would you I can't type my life here forever it's more boring than Kaguya's summer vacation lol




アニメ Domestic na Kanojo
"I feel full of gratitude to be able to grow up along with all of you" yeah especially the one student lol Hina-chan
"Nice dumbfounded look!" lmao ah I felt better already. In the final episode (#DomeKano12) of this really, really sad to end way of a series, we end at a part that... is conclusive of what happened mainly in this arc, which is Hina-chan and her relationship with men. Well, mostly Natsuo but I have to include the others into the equation so if you'll excuse me. Because of those strong feelings and Hina's character and the student board choosing the older person to approach first, things changed real fast after it was discovered that Hina-chan was having a relationship with Natsuo, ie. student-teacher relationship. You know, those that aren't acceptable by society. Again, to hell with society but still, it was an issue. So since the choice landed on Hina's hands, she took it to leave the school and Natsuo in order to not ruin his future. And in that, even Natsuo, I think everyone handled her passing real well. It's those "I know it's for my own good but" and then Natsuo just can't stop crying and screaming and not forget about the times they were together... understandable for a typical breakup plot without looking at the face for some reason (well I can't imagine if there is physical contact, so...) so I'm not going to complain about the plot line. At the very least the author and production handled it well. Moving on, Natsuo had to pour out all his overwhelming feelings of sorrow and pain into a novel, and in doing so got him what he didn't expect: a winning prize in a literary award. Hey, congrats, bro. Now is to remember that feeling and write stories with it. What is great about life is that on remembering things you have done, and if it was remembered well and vividly, can be motivation for you to conitnue living. That, I couldn't have experienced it better myself, and you probably did too even without love. Hina-chan chose one of the right paths to not tarnish any of their reputations in public, and in embracing that sacrificed what would be important in keeping Natsuo's dream safe, so he should thanks her for that. Lastly, it's Rui. Probably the most heartbroken because he did it once with Natsuo and has been till now only suppressed her feelings for the only true man in the story (lol sorry Marie and your half body tattoo), is now free. Free of suppression, for starters. Whether Natsuo will take that in like he does in substitution to another like he always does, is up to him. And of course up to whether we'll get a second season of Anime because it stops there. Yep, that's it, folks. Overall, I enjoyed the series. I know about the obvious sex and physical contact scenes they gotta put in to justify the adaptation, but even so they have done it enough to not make me walk away (well it'll be more than this before I do anyway) or engrossed that I want to j**k off to it. Okay, not that really, but I enjoyed the drama the most. They may not have enough character development outside of the main character scope (for example the parents questioning their marriage again, Miu-chan on Kiriya etc.), but otherwise it was a good show. And to be honest? I can't take any more cheesy sorrows or cry-outs besides this more understanding approach of like venting it out and moving on, making this the most matured ending to a sad romance story I've seen so far in my life in Anime. And for that, Sasuga-sensei, thanks for this. And Good Ending. That may not have been a hit, but this did. And I'm glad to have remembered your pen name. Hey, look Natsuo's more well-known than you now haha jkjk
Looking at this is even sadder when you notice the ring is taken straight off
My reaction if this series ever gets a season 2 pls make it happen haha
P.S. "I'm sorry, I am a weak person." You are, Hina-chan. All the more then to not keep it to yourself. Well, to the three of you. And that cameraman lol
P.P.S. Not that I'm being a d**k (I still am lol) but man, what a great time to be doing nothing as the winter holidays come and reality drops real fast as your face that you cannot be fated to be with that special someone. Sorry, Natsuo, I gotta.

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai
"It has really been a boring summer vacation" Not tonight it won't be hahahahaha
You not going to outwit the people around you to go see fireworks? Shame on you. *laughs* In the final episode (#KaguyaSama12) of this love rollercoaster because why not, Kaguya gets to go see fireworks with her friends. Not until someone stops her from doing it. "Dammit dad, I just want to go see fireworks!" (lol I just want to make a joke here) Anyways, I was expecting that to happen, so what are you going to do about it? The bodyguards are home, and even without an agenda one in a noble family can't just walk out to the streets to enjoy life like the rest of them. Well, not if you sneak out of the place. Kudos to the rope for the assist, but suffice it to say Kaguya managed to leave with help from the only personal assitant she can trust. Hey, who says there aren't people around her who wil help her? And that doesn't end there. Next up, she gotta make her way there. And since taking a taxi all the way wasn't a good option due to the traffic jam, she has to walk the distance. Until the fireworks are over. You know, despair at its finest. So yeah, this was probably where Kaguya gave up. This ingenious mind of hers who can battle anyone in school. This girl broke, into tears. Hey, if you wanted something so bad but eventually can't even reach it, wouldn't you be sad? However, this is where Shirogane stepped in haha. Hey, can't say this time round he didn't prepare as much as Kaguya did normally (no really normally it's the other way around where Shirogane just wants to school and he gets toyed around by Kaguya) since Kaguya probably thought she can just waltz out of the house to see fireworks with her schoolmates, so... what are you going to do now? Without disappointment, Shirogane appears at the right time ("YOU'RE LATE!!" haha) to make sure Kaguya doesn't feel like trash that the announcer kindly reminded the audience of the fireworks festival to pick up (wow, that link), and picked her up literally to bring her to see fireworks, for real. Obviously the world doesn't celebrate with fireworks at the same time (unless you're China because... of... time zones) (sorry China don't ban me) so Shirogane devised an adequate plan (and a bunch of lies lol) ("white lies", I call them haha) to bring her and the lot of them to see fireworks together in Chiba, and just as proven, was about 20 minutes away from the heart of Tokyo. (Okay, not true but still) (According to Google Maps it's an hour FYI, and the "Aqua Line" is a thing) Anyways, they made it: All of them got to see fireworks albeit inside a taxi (not going to talk about that driver who likes ramen too) and... Kaguya isn't looking at the lights. Spoiler alert: She was looking at how cool Shirogane was. You did it, bro. I'm proud of you. Never in my life have I ever went out of my way that much for a girl, but you did it, man. Respect. *laughs* Ah, what a story, isn't it? If you need a hint even if I didn't read the manga, the last part was probably Anime filler intended to end the series, so don't take that content too seriously besides the fact that the two still can't face each other after the incident. Well, they don't have to if they manage to bump onto each other, after much dogfighting in the office taking down two other innocent parties in the process of cleaning the room for some reason. I really liked that bump part at the end. You made me satisfied, Anime. And I thank you. Can we end the series now? I know I want more sequels talking about the conflict between the two, but then again you will have to deal with the Shinomiya family problems too. Can we just make her leave home now? Sucks to not be able to like the son of a farmer, you know. *laughs* (I guess the love isn't that deep yet, so maybe not) I'm done. My heart is filled with happiness now that I see Kaguya found hers. It's no dream Kaguya; you finally get to see fireworks in real life up close know what it feels to like someone okay nvm I can't bring myself to say that either lmao but I'll say this - I've fallen in love with you, Koga Aoi. May we meet in another Anime again hehe (Can I bump into you in real life?)
YOU GUYS WERE SO CLOSE!!!! ARGH MY HEART
Reminds you of "The Scream", doesn't it?
P.S. "...how am I to answer to your father?" F**K YOU, THE DAD DOESN'T GIVE TWO SH*TS ABOUT ME <= not Kaguya wait wha- oh. #SoManyEmotions (Also, if you can't protect me means you did a bad job and should be fired lol)
P.P.S. "Time without seeing someone will make you grow fonder" Wow Hayasaka being the author right there haha tell the director to queue the climax!! *laughs* Oh not yet?
[OMAKE BECAUSE THIS SHOW IS TOO GOOD!!!]
Kyawawawawawawa

アニメ Spring 2019 Anime Preview
(Source: Random Curiosity)
As usual, I'll talk about the things I saw while reading down the list, ignoring most of the stuff I'll never watch these days and mention on those that I do. And those that I am already intending on watching.
That's it. Titles with air dates symbolise my current schedule agenda, but otherwise just let me comment it's the Internet goddammit haha

On a side note, I want a mystery show, modern day. Not CSI, but like "Subete ga F ni Naru". That show brings back memories the first time I watched it. I want that suspense. "ERASED" was good too. They just don't have it in recent years.

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
This was quite a fast week, so technically it was short, but not short on reviews. Rie fu's new album got to a conclusion as I only gave two of the English-song based album. Ikimonogakari's latest song for 15th anniversary got me hooked especially over the weekend so I'm giving it. I'm skipping talk about that game character song single since I mentioned this last week (or did I?). sunday morning bell's album after years of hiatus since I heard of them in 2012 and also last year was... actually great. Maybe too much on the mainstream side in composition lacking of their usual awkward style, but I'll take it. I seriously want to hear more of them tbh. Yogee New Waves is still not around, and Suchmos' new album is... I can't find something I like. Okay, maybe only the one because I like the instrumentals. But that's it. I guess I just have the mood to listen to this stuff every once in a while. A long while haha. Next week brings us mol-74's first album in major debut only so... that'll be great. I liked them from last year so this will get me more Twitter likes and retweets lol

On Twitter, plenty happened the moment I posted last week's issue, to be honest. Asakura Momo announced her new single to be an Anime theme song (wow production you did it), Sphere - the girls who got me into those girls in MusicRay'n in the first place - hosted their 10th anniversary livestream announcing another new single after the new album AND streaming media unlocking (YES!), ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION announced a new single for Anime, FLOWER FLOWER with a new song, Yuuki Aoi announced her new album due June since her change of music label from Flying Dog to Columbia Japan, Niitsu Yui with another new song, Ikimonogakari with a new song tomorrow (not a joke), I watched Minase Inori's new music video preview and I think it's going to be a good topic song going into the new album soon BUT (haha sorry Inorin) Natsukawa Shiina's new music video preview for her 1st album is even better (YES! x2), and Scenarioart with a new song. Wow, that was quite a mouthful did you guys catch all that? Thank goodness for bolded text, yes? No?

Lastly, I'll quickly talk about what happened over at Klassic Note, and more on the surface than in the back end. I revamped all Klassic Note playlists on Apple Music Japan under my profile (@klassicnote if you wonder) (yes Apple Music has accounts which allow sharing of public playlists) and then added them to the new Klassic Note Collection website because we don't do CD compilationa anymore. Welcome to the digital age, everyone. Again, just click on the link, hit the preview button and enjoy glimpses of music just how I felt years ago where I have to give a listen just based on that length.




Okay, I'm finally done. I thought of updating my song list tonight too but I think I've had enough. Just staring at the work PC waiting for things to happen and making phone calls is enough to make me not want to go to work tomorrow haha. Cya guys tomorrow, and if there are jokes to share from Twitter I'll make sure to share them here next week. Because I don't use the Klassic Note account for non-official purposes. Do you guys not know I have like a list of lists I use to "follow" people I like? Haha until next week everyone
