Hey... Did you see my latest post before this? Yeah it took a Saturday afternoon to post all those images of three photobooks haha

Anyways, welcome back. And if you really need some love from the TrySail girls, either see my previous post or go watch their new music video. Either of them is sure to make me happy (song title pun not intended), and I've seen both of them haha

On a side note since I'm not reviewing manga here now, embarrassed Sayashi giving Kokonotsu his Christmas gift is the best. I want that scene to happen in Anime so I can love Numakura Manami again hehe

アニメ Domestic na Kanojo

"Then why?" Because I can't f*** your a** haha not Natsuo I swear

Must be the father who stole her underwear lmao I mean who else you gonna suspect? Haha in the new episode (#DomeKano08) we finally got to some form of conclusion, and yes it has been a long time coming, and I'm happy with that. Finally, we get to hear Hina-chan's feelings. But firstly, let's talk about that underwear thief. This part of the story introduces us to Al, some foreign transfer student who apparently breaks school rules in the weekends by cycling along the building alleys lol, can catch a thief (with some help from Natsuo) and... likes Rui-chan on first sight. Hey, it would prove to be some competition here from here on but more importantly, again emphasizing the feelings between Natsuo and Rui. I mean, we kind of know about Rui but what about Natsuo? He can't keep saying he's kissing and stuff to forget about other things. (We'll draw that parallel with Hina-chan later haha) So yeah, Al got rejected real fast albeit how indirect that query was passed to Natsuo instead of asking the girl himself. I'm expecting some follow-up here because this is a harem and Natsuo is in it, so... *laughs* On the other hand, we come back to Hina-chan and her relationship with Natsuo now, I guess? Again, without locked doors, it's sooner or later Hina will have to witness the two other siblings kissing each other, and Rui of course did explain of her infatuation towards the boy ("let me talk about what happened BEFORE our families were connected" lol I don't think she mentioned that) and Natsuo? Let's just say Hina-chan had enough of whatever potential incest is happening in this house and decided to move out. Well, or so we think that's the reason. Then again, it was not at all wrong, just... she's lying to herself once again. So blah blah last family outing to summer festival and Hina dropped her phone into the water (okay I give this plot twist a 9/10 in accuracy but 1/10 in originality haha) and then decided to cling on to Natsuo only finding out that the boy wants the real answer from her about why she decided to leave the family abode. And of course, it took quite a while to get everything together especially Hina, and finally she spoke her mind out. Good thing to know, the love between Hina and Natsuo is mutual. If you need speculation ever since they moved in together, here's your answer confirmed. That, and now that Rui is backing off on the kissing lol, we may get a change of pace. Hey, I'm not suggesting otherwise, but isn't it about time we get that full flashback onto Rui's first experience with Natsuo? *laughs* Okay let's not press on too much ~~on Natsuo's di~~ about this initial clickbait of a plot because we may have more other things to deal with, like you know, enjoying so much mutual love (Natsuo => Rui?) under one roof haha. To end this week, Rui-chan is right: they aren't blood-related. And since the parents probably f**ked (I guess not at their age, but still) why not their kids? Hey, no restrictions I suppose, right? Someone check the legislation in Japan for me please lol (Also, if you didn't like Hikasa Youko after this episode you need to watch "K-ON!" haha)

I didn't find out which year this story started btw so I assume this happened before 2013 lol

P.S. "You're trying to set me up with that guy?" YES uh, I mean, NO haha lol
P.P.S. Datsu one sing disu is- Perfect English by the way haha okay I'm shitting on Japanese speaking English again
[THE ENDING SONG IS THE B-SIDE?? ARE WE GETTING A KLASSIC NOTE REVIEW SOON??] (More on the music segment below)

アニメ Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai

"Amazing! How far could this go?" I mean... to the bed? *laughs like Kaguya*

Just a reminder to all out there: Kaguya just needs to confess to Miyuki and they go out and it'll be done. All of them. All will return to her, whatever happiness and relationships she desires. I'm sorry Chika-chan haha on this new episode (#KaguyaSama08) we shall talk about people's sisters because... why not?? Haha specifically, we talk about Shirogane's sister Kei, and hey did it get the attention of prospective sister-in-law Shinomiya Kaguya quickly lol, as Kaguya tries real hard to think of ways to be called sister in some way. You know, if she ever ~~gets married~~ marries the family lol. So yeah, but however it all came in vain once she notices how far she is from the goal, as Kei has already a social circle around her surrounded by, you guessed it, that rack of a friend Chika-chan haha. So yeah, it may be hard, but as I mentioned above, all she has to do is start with a confession. Well, I mean, drawing out a confession from the brother is also one way to deal with it, but the former takes less time. You know, it's just this *flicks finger* fast. *laughs* And yes I thank the production for the introduction to Kei, and yes we finally get some feel of what it is like to talk about your sister's affairs haha (flashback to episode 6 I think?). And yes, we got a glimpse of the Fujiwara family of sisters. Hey, three times the charm, guys. Okay now I want a side series of those ladies lol. Moving on, we talk about final exams. Since none of those geniuses in the student council room can afford to be bad at their studies, the two both had to kinda lie to each other on how to take their exams less than seriously which they do, in which Chika-chan is the only victim on this since Ishigami doesn't give A F**K haha more on that later. Still, it's pretty obvious that Shirogane, who relies heavily on hard work to achieve his top student results, that keeping his reputation at that level whilst likely only fighting against Kaguya who might study less than him since she's a genius will be really tiring, to be honest. Hey, don't say it's not a challenge especially when you like the girl too hehe. For Kaguya though, I would say it's hard, but if you want to insert another comment here about the feminism required to be included in this Japan-based work you've got another thing coming. Although I would argue for this story it's written to make sure work-hard Shirogane can stand a chance of you know, being with nobles or rich people like Kaguya. So yeah, I would say otherwise there. Lastly, we do a flashback of the stuff we just saw? Okay, sure. As the exam system in Shuchi'in Academy is kind of normal maybe, getting repeated in school is as fast as failing twice in succession, so yeah, Kaguya's not going to let that happen to Ishigami even though he doesn't care. Well, I assume it's for Shirogane who probably can't do accounting somehow lol, but hey, be grateful, peasant. *laughs* I mean, that's all I got from the whatever torture scene we get from Kaguya that Ishigami is not grateful for (arigatou gozaimasu haha) so... No romantic references whatsoever, by the way. We're totally clean here lol Kaguya needs to learn to play video games it's good for bonding with Chika and Kei by the way haha.

This sister is so cute I can't even
(What's with that headband though she not obvious enough of a character? lol)

P.S. Yeah they should to buy a video game to play before final exams, all of them. Then Ishigami maybe you'll have a chance of passing lmao that's not how it works? Oh they no bell curve? Haha
P.P.S. "She's going to do nasty things to me until my brain snaps" Yeah you're right Ishigami she's going to make you study (Ishigami: NO!!!~) lol

アニメ Asobi Asobase Specials

"Papa as in your real dad?" lmao don't ask where they got the money from, yes?

Since I've watched all three of them now, I shall talk about them here. (Well if I find more I'll watch, but for now) The first of them (#AsobiAsobaseSP01) is about ~~Hina~~ Hanako-chan's brother (lol thinking about the voice actress) who likely because he's a genius of a student, doesn't spend some playing around at all. Sad life as a kid I would say, and I can argue it's because of the sister lol (yeah the family is depending on you, sir), but still, once in a while hanging out with your sibling ain't bad. That's... my relationship with my sister, but yeah, mine doesn't ruin everything unlike this sister haha. Next up (SP2), they play a round of arm wrestling, the club members. Of course the teacher lost first even though she suggested it lmao, but the other two out of three matches were worth mentioning. (Yeah Hanako was the weakest haha) Olivia vs Hanako was basically a free win to Hanako (lol) because of a certain reference that I swear I've not heard of so I probably shouldn't ask I'm not into yaoi anyway hahahaha and Olivia vs Kasumi was supplemented by Aozora's appearance and Olivia used her to her own advantage. You know, those things you shouldn't get aroused to as a middle school girl lol (I was slightly aroused by Kohara Konomi's voice tbh SHE DID THAT VOICE?? haha). In the end? They probably all lost to Aozora I assume.

Didn't notice how similar these sibling faces are lol just flat in front

Last but not least was the OAV which just means if you buy our disced releases you'll get to see this, and it's about cosplay and computers, it seems. Cosplay isn't actually cosplay, but they got to dress up for the school festival after somehow submitting their production, and the three each came up with very different stuff. Hanako wanted to be in the 90s lol, Olivia wanted to dress as a traditional maid, and Kasumi wanted to dress in a sailor outfit, those schoolgirls one. And so they did, but apparently in acquiring those accessories Maeda may have done a little too much. With no time to worry about legal issues lol, the girls try them out, and as cute as they go Hanako probably needs to go to the hospital with all those leg scars lmao. Computers is actually about using a time capsule, where the teacher and two other friends who were in the school (one of them bearing that abomination of a kid, if you recall) had just seen technology pop up in the 90s, and decide to write a letter to their future self, 15 years from then. I mean, if you need to guess what the teacher wrote even though you forgot I'm not letting you second guess because she still wants to get married today anyways. Remember "KEKKON SITAI"? *laughs* And yeah the computer was removed, no surprise, if you didn't guess the ending right as I did lol

Definitely not a Dragonball reference right there lmao

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week was quite a busy week as a follow up to last week of course, but I did get a new artist into my list, so that's interesting for now. Hanazawa Kana's new album came to a conclusion as I give like 3 songs, quite a lot since that one album back in 2015 so that's good considering it's all written by different artists, I guess. Numakura Manami's new album was a hard give, so I gave most of the hype songs as much as I can since that's her strong point, so she gets a 3 songs insertion into my list too. New songs this week include Suzuki Masayuki's latest single which was for Anime "Kaguya-sama" and... I'm not giving the B-side of Ikimonogakari cover since I've given before, and this one is not on tune mainly to accomodate his lower male pitch. Hey, Kiyoe-san did it better, so... no? *laughs* I've also chanced upon MaRuRi to Ryuga's major debut mini-album after a promotion video from that one livestream I watched, and man is this good. The closest resemblance I can give in terms of style is fumika, and this one's a duo in vocalist. So yeah, that's where I'm starting from, I guess. TrySail's new album didn't come exactly on time, and I shall wedge this between the first album and the second. Even then, I have only given the topic song so that's not good news so far. I'll try to give another song if I can get over how terrible the composition is lol

Next week brings us a couple of releases which I should pay attention to after this week. FINLAND's new EP was good for the topic song and I can't wait to hear more to be honest, Takigawa Alisa's new single for Anime "DomeKano" has proven to me this week that I should also consider the B-side as insert songs for the show, and I shall for next week. We shall see if it can get on my shelf. I think it can. First review this year, people; I said it here first. Coalamode's new single may be the least interesting among the others, but heck, I'll try to give it because I literally threw away their 2nd album and I feel bad about it. Besides, I've not heard anything so clean slate? Best part about this week is, all of them will be available (I hope) on Apple Music on day of release! Yay!! My utopia has been created! Well, probably only this week haha

On the latest news in Twitter, mol-74 is releasing their 1st full album following their major debut announcement with SME Records (why) so that'll be fun, negoto announced a best album to conclude their journey as a band with a last new song (I hope it's good I need a memory to live by) (and don't be like LILI LIMIT lol), Niitsu Yui's new song for her three-month single release is out and is... not great, and Scenarioart has announced a new song with a trailer? I don't know man, I need a more solid announcement than that. I bet you guys didn't watch their anniverary livestream on Periscope on Monday, right? I kind of didn't either (I was just walking in and out) there was the other mobile game livestream haha

I guess this is it. Man, I still feel so much for manga I feel bad to not talk about them here. Then again, it's only that much of a handful which is why I decided to not continue discussing them here. Really, I should move on to reading Japanese instead of translated manga, I guess. Cya guys next week then, and hopefully by then I can decide which video editing software I want to use to edit that Top 20 preview video. I know, I have delayed that real long because of work or just I need more time to rest haha good night everyone
