Anyways, that package is coming soon, I only realised I'm due to ship already a day after all of the individual packages arrived, so you know, won't do much of a difference because this forwarding service international shipping fees is kind of a ripoff (I miss Suruga-ya already haha), and even then it'll take weeks to arrive. So... I opted for the slightly cheaper rate since I'm going to miss that single review for the month already haha Nan-chan~

So, Anime, I guess. And considering how things go for next season ie. most of them will start from next week, there will be no break then. To, you know, catch up on manga or movies or whatever because I'm lazy and I want to continue making that profile list page on GitHub haha okay let's watch Anime

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

"We have people looking at us..." And then Cynthia's colleague be like OMG haha why she can't have someone to like her? Geez...

Wow, right up into pace, the team is already working rounds in London. As expected of the team with Laurent in it haha Makoto you still sour about this? *laughs* In this new episode (#GREATPRETENDER12) of James Coleman which is definitely not that skinny guy you see in the intro because it's fat af haha, he's sleeping with an old woman. *laughs* Okay, who knows what about James' marriage life so I wouldn't ask, but hey, he's living the life right now. But man, is this so far the best episode of the series because CYNTHIA!!! Haha man, her in love is too good how did they make the best woman in an- oh this is original Anime. *laughs* So, story. Firstly, about Coleman. He's an art appraiser. He's an auctioneer. He does this thing every so once in a while, and somehow certain paintings are always bought by this rich woman Fara. But it's not just that, because besides having a secret art gallery which Makoto and Kudo managed to enter to see the sights (as well as plant a listening device), it's also the place where she keeps her... lover's most prized possessions. Yes, coincidentally, it's James here. I know. Unbelievable, right? But hey, you gotta lie you gotta lie. *laughs* So as you can see, and as Laurent pointed out, James likes the paintings he likes being kept in good hands which is not him because he can't afford it anyways, and Fara is after... whatever his charm is I don't know. He's a good liar? *laughs* Anyways, as we have found out soon enough, things are starting to pick up from the team's side to sort of, have a hold of his life and situation. To, you know, do whatever drunk Cynthia wants out of this heist haha. I guess it's selling the painting again at a high price, right? So yeah, Laurent went into the auction, crashed it by buying out the Snow of London at 30 million pounds (that is a a lot of money FYI) literally robbing it away from Fara who then got a scolding from her... "art advisor" lol (really the husband believed it?) (yes apparently she's not single?), but also, is the start of their plan. Mainly (1) to sell it to Fara while earning money from it ie. make a fake painting so effectively they got it back for free and (2) make James furious such that Abbie can get a job under him? Haha, spying or whatever, it worked for the latter, which of course, we will see that be of use at some point. For now, it's not enough to ruin James' career, but we will soon, I'll promise you that. Then, the flashbacks, for Cynthia. First arc we had Makoto. Second arc, we had Abbie. Now, it's her turn. And like her, we don't know many of her story. Story goes that there is this painter, who sells replicas for survival, saw this beautiful woman at the local cafe. I mean, I agree Thomas, that if I were a painter in London and saw such a beauty? I'll ask her to model for my artwork. *thumbs up* So yeah, as you can see, as time passes, they sort of got involved in each other's lives, making and selling artwork, trying to live by. I legit thought the ring was for them, but nope, or else this would be even more exciting consdering how Cynthia is effectively single right now. *laughs* Anyways, they aren't living the life just yet, especially Thomas, and it was not until James Coleman appearing in their lives that made a difference. So finally, how this ties all together. Sadly, what is between Thomas and Cynthia is not an affair or whatever thing yet unlike with James. Well, not yet anyways haha. But, the two kind of tied together mainly because, instead of Thomas' work of drawing Cynthia selling for money (which man, I'll buy them, AND her haha), James saw excellent potential in Thomas... making counterfeit artwork. Uh oh. We got an evil villain on our hands. Because so far, we know of his reputation as a man of art, so whatever he approves will literally be the actual work, or - hear me out - an actual facsimile. Yes, this guy's playing dirty now. Surprisingly though, he may not be able to tell the difference. Because since he said he can be deceived by Thomas' replication of artwork, Cynthia (today) probably thinks she can deceive him again. So yeah, I guess we're going in that direction now. What happens next? Man, I just want more wholesome love stories of Cynthia. But yeah, I better brace myself for the breakup and/or her relationship with James just in case haha thank goodness this isn't like Sam from the previous arc who is NOT straight haha bye

P.S. "You wouldn't understand, Abbie." Haha man this context and Makoto you're asking for a beating

P.P.S. "You're a virgin after all, aren't you??" Well Cynthia if you meant in painting works of art, yes. Otherwise... *laughs*

[Cynthia fever I guess I genuinely think she's a great Anime woman haha]

アニメ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai!

"Did you just say you (Sakurai) would do anything?" Uh oh. *laughs*

And then you realise Uzaki-chan is always finding you, Sakurai, because.. you're the only one she knows. Well, knows well. Her other friends do not count if they don't appear in this animation lmao. In this final episode of the season (#UzakiChan12) because I believe you've read the first paragraph of this post lol, last week's ending was a farce. *laughs* Oh well, really thought she was pregnant or something haha you know she can't sit on the floor anymore or something because it'll be hard to get up. *giggles* Anyways, I'm those guys who cheer when Uzaki big chests appear in the swimming club as managers lol this is going to turn into a porno in a minute haha. So, story, I guess? I mean, it is the final episode (for now), so I wonder what's going on. Turns out, they gotta spice it up, right? *prepares rice cooker* So let's talk about it. *laughs* So, I assume, in this Anime filler of a final episode, we talk about the past, and get drunk. Man, isn't this life though? Firstly, more flashbacks. Well, thanks to Ami-chan asking about Uzaki's past, we now know more about her first encounter with the senpai. For starters, she wasn't initially swimming in the club. She's supposedly just in as a manager along with her (then) friend (lol) who dragged her into helping out the swimming club because you know, the girl wants her senpai. Hey, guess who also got her senpai down the line. *laughs* Yeah, friend I hope you got laid because Hana-chan did- Ah. *laughs* And yes, it really sounds like she has been changing her tone and kind of, you know, losing her own tone in conversation nowadays and sounding like Sakurai, at least, from an outsider's perspective. I guess you get influenced by peoples' tones once you hang out long enough with them anyways. I only get my influences from YouTube videos lmao. Then, Sakaki recalls Sakurai being drunk. Well, he doesn't really now because he knows it sucks (the toilet trip, I assume), so as matured as he is in responsible drinking, he controls himself. So yeah, since Uzaki wants to break him (haha), the friend rats on him and teaches him a way to break down his defences. So drink at home, don't give him water to dilute his drinking, and since Uzaki gets drunk easily, pretend to drink along. Haha NOW we can get him drunk lmao. *gets a bowl of rice and sits down* Now for the fun part. *laughs* So yeah, nothing much happens as Sakaki described, since drunk Sakurai is just sloppy, he talks little and is very tired. So yeah, not very entertaining compared to Uzaki-chan, of course. On top of that, his words make of a very embarrassed Uzaki, so she might as well be drunk anyways, is what I assume she was doing after hearing about whatever "love" thing that is going on in Sakurai's mind haha. Sakaki drops by to see what happened unlike Ami-chan (lol hey don't say you weren't invited haha), and puts them to sleep for the night because you know, it's kinda late. And in case you didn't see the official Twitter spoiler screenshots until you watched it yourself notice why the camera angles for both of them are so close up, it's because they can't reveal until the next morning that they... remember Sakurai only had one bed at his place? Yeah, it's big enough to fit two people now. *laughs* *gets another bowl of rice and chopsticks* So yeah, that was quite a night. And as Uzaki thought she can do this experiment again (without thinking that how bad this will hurt anyone's liver), Sakurai reminds her that summer vacation's over, bitch. *laughs* And that's it, actually. I know there's the last part where *empties bowl and refills* but you get the idea. This Anime's so good with plain rice lmao okay that's not the point. The point is that this series, apart from the joke that is Uzaki x Sakurai, is probably just the interactions between the characters, the mood, and overall, what this slice-of-life wants to represent: going outdoors. I know this is real irrelevant at this time of year or even this year to be honest, but I'm sure we'll remember this to come back to watch this again because... there's season two!! That's right, more laughter, more awkward situations as much as the author can conjure lol, and because we have an interesting ending of back to school featuring new character Kiri which is Hana's younger brother AND two other new characters waiting to come in to this Anime series (see tweet from the author, here), I can't wait to see what more episodes we'll get from whoever wants to join in the feast of rice haha no really we need more bowls, chopsticks and rice cookin' because IT IS TAMARANAI haha (as in irresistible) hey this Anime is great slice-of-life what can I say

P.S. "Why do college students get summer holiday homework anyway?" Wow Japan universities suck haha

P.P.S. "I should've joined them even if I had to force my way in!!!" Well Ami-chan they kept the door unlocked so you can just go in actually lol

[Since it's final episode first season let's talk about what I will miss before second season drops by]

アニメ Kanojo, Okarishimasu

"...Because I want you to fall in love with me for real." But I already am, Ruka-chan. *laughs* Oh you meant Kazuya

Okay FINALLY Kazuya has woken up to see the reality in front of him and appreciating Ruka-chan has his girl. You f**king idiot so stop thinking about Chizuru already...? Haha you think this will end right if it's like this? Haha, naïve are we, huh. In this final episode for the season (#KanoKari12) we have a lovely scene where Kazuya is literally confessing to Ruka-chan which is seriously OUT OF THIS WORLD RIGHT NOW lol but I mean seriously and- Oh wait. Last week, huh. Yeah, totally forgot about it I thought Kazuya was hallucinating Chizuru and Mami-chan while confessing to this girl in front of him lmao. So, story...? Firstly, about the two girls in a karaoke room first, I guess, then we'll talk about Kazuya. So, if it's not obvious enough because even Kazuya figured it out, Mami-chan is renting Chizuru out. Very awkwardly, because why would you do that, knowing that you're that ex, and somehow you should be like everyone else not knowing about this... relationship between Kazuya and this rental girl... hey again, it's complicated. Well, to Mami-chan, it's not that complicated. Just... stop it. By doing all this of course, I suppose she has this message sent across those two (yes Kazuya is hearing at the door because it's his workplace lol), and throughout this date sort of, I think even with the interactions on the bridge, it's still really obvious that both of their real emotions are... nowhere to be found lmao. Like really, think about it. Mami-chan is totally jealous about this relationship and totally wants to ruin it like the evil villain she wants to not be somehow, Chizuru really wonders about her relationship with Kazuya at this point outside of money which I might say is not even important anymore, and Kazuya is a crybaby haha. But thankfully, he didn't interfere so this will play out properly, but honestly, if this is not Anime filler than I would argue that it's not enough. I know this would not make of a great romcom (lol), but hey, author, you wrote in a b*tch make her behave like one. You know, go out to ruin other peoples' lives because so far you've not been doing much to fan the flames. Hey, maybe it's me who saw all those dramas as a kid lol that was such bad influence, but yeah, that subtlety is too weak to make a case. But yeah, maybe Chizuru pleading to Mami-chan's feelings about Kazuya did hit it, I guess. Like the "it's our problem" shtick- hey Mami-chan you'll make of a good actress. *laughs* Then, the situation at hand. Which is why I say this might sound like a filler episode to end the series season because it's just another summary of Kazuya's fake relationship with Chizuru to the whole world at this point right now, but also, I guess, another doki moment where Kazuya accidentally spouts out that he wants her body haha. What, Kazuya, that's all you want, you pervert. *laughs* All in all, as I'm hearing the new insert song not by halca but by Amamiya Sora herself, I must say this Anime still leaves me with mixed emotions, and me nowhere near satisfied because clearly, Kazuya is in no position to talk about his love life as pretty much everything is in a mess right now, which would tide over this past year (in Anime time) (it has been this long?) of his life, so yeah... I hope there is some conclusion at some point even in the manga. But for now, because I know from the official Twitter already and yes the very last part of the episode was kind of cryptic but SEASON TWO!! WOOOO!!! Haha okay I wasn't this excited about Uzaki-chan so stop faking it. *laughs* But yay maybe, because I didn't expect to hang out this long, but clearly, this Anime is making bucks. *laughs* So yeah, more of this drama I guess. I might add that if you are going to miss majime Chizuru 'cos this is her new surname now lol, not b*tchy enough Mami-chan who is not bad enough to piss me off but can't stop being jealous until we know of her true feelings which is never, Ruka-chan which is MVP every week since she appeared until Sumi-chan who became MVP for like an episode because this week doesn't feature her lmao. Man, can't wait for more clarifications next season imagine of the Anime stopped here I would say this ended way worse than I has expected, to be honest. I mean, what kind of ending is this? I'm just not convinced. The laughs are great, the romance is mostly fake, and I can only idolise on the girls in this series. Seriously, I'm as bored as Mami-chan haha just joking not that farfetched but still. Anyways, to end this... KAZUYA YOU FUCKING WUSS!!! YOU MAN, TILL THE END!! UGH I'm quitting this series haha cya guys next season

[This is the most screencaps I've taken of Kazuya so far this series of him because he's snooping on them in the karaoke room so here you go]

P.S. "...I would probably go for the peggies or halca" Yeah, theme song artist references again remember that ranking from last week? "Sing for me" No I can't it's copyrighted music lol "Sing. For. Me." Alright haha I'm not masochist

P.P.S. "Why are Mami-chan and Chizuru together??" Well because Mami-chan is lesbian? Haha Kazuya I can't believe you dated someone who doesn't like dudes lol (yes I'm Mami-chan mode right now haha)
[Sorry for the Kazuya screencaps so here are some girls to compensate for that haha]
