And this marks the start of my... year end work leave SPECTACULAR!!! WHOOOO!!!! *laughs* Okay, me, it's going to be over in two weeks before you know it so don't be too happy anyways. But still, we have quite an agenda coming up. Klassic Note Song Awards is due for results (which I've not confirmed yet haha uh oh), I have pages and pages of notes on my Google Keep I want to finish including some for this blog... You know, I wish I can handle working freelance. *laughs* Anyways, Anime time!! Good thing next week we can take a break, so maybe I'll finally catch up on some... manga or maybe I should just only read in Japanese now lol

Let's Anime shall we? We have quite a lot of shows to wrap up this week so let's get to it!

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

"HELP ME!" Yep Ishigami I can hear that English real clearly, as long as I'm with you on the island hahahahahahahaha

"Isn't it exhausting to get upset over the smallest of things?" Hey mom, you're not wrong, but if not for overemotional Makoto this heist wouldn't have been a success. TALKING ABOUT SUCCESS!! *laughs* In this new and final episode for this se... season (#GREATPRETENDER23) obviously, wraps up on all the holes that were not filled in the heist which technically concluded from last week, because really, we know the whole crew is alive and those four mafia guys are probably waiting for rescue haha I'm sure Makoto ensured Suzaku's safety at the least. So, let's do a walkthrough of the heist. Firstly, how they were transported to the island. Well, in summary, and I didn't put that down because I believe they can do anything besides kill them, is drugs. Yes, I hope you liked that drugged coffee, Suzaku. Also, I hope Chen and Liu you guys liked drugged champagne too. *laughs* Yeah, you get the idea. They were drugged reall well with what looks like sleeping powder, so in the time they were sleeping, the others made sure (1) Suzaku and Ishigami and their mini crew were transported to the fake building by helicopter, which probably freaked out the guys still painting the fake walls lol Oz, and (2) Liu and Chen and their rather large crew who were also drugged with coffee, be able to sit a prop plane to the location, with the help of that plane mechanic who taught Makoto to be able to fix planes for an air race competition, remember him? Yeah, it's all coming together. Secondly, the liability. Mainly on Eddie. Because Eddie, he's no small fry. Besides being a Hollywood director and a huge drug dealer, he also were friends with Sam and James who were all duped in separate heists, which also explains how after Eddie's escape he was able to get these two out of their dump real quick too. So you see, that's why bad guys hang out together too. *laughs* (I'm pretty sure Sam hangs out with Eddie because he's gay-) But yes, Makoto has a hang of them all. Instead of making them kill this lot, at least they get a cut for helping out in this heist which probably can already compensate for all their losses combined because yes, that is what, 200 billion yen total? Yep. *laughs* So, with the bad guys under control, and the heist in sight, the guys went on with their acting skills. (I still wonder how they got the carpark built but hey whatever man) Firstly, Suzaku's people had to arrive, with Makoto in it of course. To ensure that the old woman would not suspect her office of not being the real facsimile, they had to repaint the hallway, courtesy of red paint to paint the real office, and more red paint to paint the fake. And yes, Oz is right: It is hard to replicate old paint, so painting over will mask a lot of things, including memories. Ah- *laughs* Anyways, this is enough to throw off their scent, and getting the new chair is a pain since they just changed it to have a sword inside BUT IT'S REAL, so we'll talk about how Makoto won't die from this charade. Next, Liu's guys. Same treatment, and not like they will notice since this isn't their playground, and for both sides the money probably is on the table for the rest to grab. Blah blah blah a shootout later after those guys thought they "escaped" from the chaos, they were shooting blanks in celebration, as Makoto recovers from the blood bag hit which is also Laurent's and specifically Oz's cue, to rid of his son. *laughs* With a push of a lever, the guys managed to be transported down to ground level, take nearest transport and escape, bringing the "office" up for the bad guys (we should stop using this phrase this can mean anybody lol I meant the guys who trafficked kids) so that they can also leave the place... safely. Maybe. The building was about to fall anyways; They were lucky to have noticed the lack of shooting after a while. And that is it. The fates of the baddies weren't mentioned much though, so I would assume Suzaku managed to leave to reunite with her real son, and the others... let's say by the time they were rescued it might be too late to get their money back. And with this final heist done, the group take their money and leave for their own directions. I hope I didn't miss anything but Laurent finally chose to leave Dorothy and the ring away from him as he moves on, Oz was in charge of reuniting the kids they saved back to their parents (which I guess must be rough), Shi Ohn be enjoying her well-deserved retirement everyday in Korea but with Kudo because he lost his ex-wife who took his daughter (which I must say is rather cute haha so too bad bro), Cynthia is with hopefully not her and Thomas' kid because that name sounds like it was Sam's kid (uh oh), Abbie be climbing rocks like a pro and I swear if her type exists she'll be a great Instagrammer (spare with the middle fingers please haha), Makoto be opening a cafe in Okinawa selling coffee and making trips around the world to learn more (man, I wish that was the life), and don't ask me who was the next president of USA that Laurent has to protect now wait what. *laughs* And with the phone call at the end... you should know this is just an easy way to ensure this series can continue because... I don't think we have confirmation again, but hey, I'll take another season of laughs, middle fingers, sissies (lmao), and mostly unexpected plot lines haha. Really, if you haven't watched this and think my reviews are lame, go watch it yourself. It's way different then you think it is, I promise you. And aren't you all glad Dorothy Xiangxiang is alive?? Haha okay cya guys again whenever it's time for a heist the recent one in GTAV is BORING!!! *laughs* (Seriously, gotta fork out 2.2mil for a submarine first wtf)

[TL:DR; I just want another season or OVAs just to show the behind the scenes of every single heist mentioned including when Dorothy was in power haha no really you thought music video making videos were great wait until these come out]

P.S. "I was only a few minutes late; I'm not a train" This statement truly reflects the efficiency of the metro in Japan, I can tell you that much.
P.P.S. "Do you know what a wizard can do?" I don't know, betray the family and ruin his son's life by making him join an international scam group?? Haha Oz it's not aiming as you but you know.

[More screens since this is final episode and I can use more jokes here haha]

アニメ Majou no Tabitabi

"How much did those glasses cost?" Elaina asking the real questions here lol probably not the reason you ran out of money though

And what a surprise this bitch, uh I mean witch (haha) wants to be super rich lol again guys I hope your pockets are deep enough for your dear princess Elaina because I sure don't. *laughs* In this final episode this series (#MajoTabi12) we go back to the most beautiful witch in existence... okay I should stop sucking up to her haha yes it's Elaina of course. And yes, we will (as in Anime producers), WE WILL, ensure you'll say Elaina's MVP by the end of this episode. We say that because... she be the majority of the cast. Okay, in case you wonder how such a phenomenon can happen, read on to find out. Also, thanks for this episode because you don't know how much I missed hyped Ede-chan so bad my last was on Anime "Demi-chan" with that vampire kid hehe. So, story. Story? Okay, sure whatever. Story goes that in her last journey I suppose maybe not because you know, journeys never end until you die lol, Elaina dropped by a country who can make your wishes come true. But, instead of making her wish come true lol yes she wants money, she ended up in a place... where all her memories resided. And by instinct, she went to the castle of Milarose (if you remember, Episode 4) and surprisingly saw... more than half a dozen of herself. Well, they weren't exactly herself per se, but it's due to the choices she made throughout the journey, that ended up having these multiple versions of her appearing, from her who likes money (wait, how different is that from this her) (haha) to Saya-loving her and so on. I'm seriously trying not to cover all 15 of them excluding the latest version of her, but hey, look around the postscripts for more tsukkomi from me I guess. *laughs* (So why does moody her look like Sheila when she's younger? Haha hey) (Cringey me is a perfect reference to Anime "JoshiMuda" because Yamamoto be in this series too lol) (And we found out she likes Russia lmao this is the best joke in this series EVER) Okay, comments are over for now, as intelligent her (or probably the only one rational to tell this her about everything because ghoul her can barely speak not even say jello her) briefs her about the existence of 15 other Elainas who are also living in this castle, surprisingly. Hey, if you thought only numerology can describe human decisions and instinct, think again. Because as violent her appears and wants to eradicate these other selves, and after a long battle with no winner, this Elaina (I'm doing what JavaScript programming likes to call "context") (lol) then told her violent self, that deep inside, she wants to know what would have happened if she had made different decision. You know, to not meet Saya-chan... hey I promise you that was also one of them someone on the table doesn't know that girl I swear haha, but you get the idea. And in case you don't get numerology because after paying a lot of money I think I do, is that as ourselves we will make our own decisions almost instinctively, and most of the time, it's never the best decision ever. (So to improve our lives those people believe changing current states to the best decision will help change things up, for the better) (And that's how I got my phone number changed for a few thousand bucks lol ugh) But no matter the case, it's how you live the life of decisions to the best, or deep inside, you want to know if you have regretted your decisions. Clearly this Elaina did not regret anything I suppose (I guess switching bodies with Saya is quite the nightmare lmao is that coincidentally one of the darkness Elaina's story HAHAHAHA), but still, you would want to know what could have happened, if everything was otherwise. For example, and I swear this might be the only example with a link to the current events so far, violent her is just her where she did not catch the Ripper who cut off her hair and did not join it back. That's it. For the latter, she just chose not to chase the culprit and hated people for her state, which in turn turned her violent- Hey remember how that kid killed her parents AND her uncle and became a serial killer? It's like that but with magic and thank goodness her parents are very far away. *laughs* And as these memories cloak us with our impressions of this series, I would like to say this series has been a joyride. Unlike what the author of the original work mentioned, this series is filled with subtle jokes, real stories hard to swallow or even just to see, but mostly it has been memorable, there are lessons to learn, magic is cool but not crazily berserk, and this had a great conclusion. I must say watching this series was not a mistake at all. I made the right decision there is not need to find the other me who did not watch this series I would have so much time on Sundays to write more code or whatever lmao. Anyways, great series, I wished we had more but there isn't news anyways, and maybe, just maybe, they could give us some OVA on stuff they couldn't air, like how at least THREE of the Elainas were literally worse off then depressed teenagers today lol. To conclude this episode though, I would say the Elaina we know so far is about 78% character cuteness and narcissism because how can you not put two and two together, 20% boobs lmao 20% Hondo Kaede voice acting and that's why I still love her for it, 1% boobs lmao, 0.97% family and finally 0.03% Russian just because. This is definitely not quoting off some scientific fact statistics haha. And... yes I've seen the Twitter already, why this new character though? And Elaina says she knows her? Is that hinting a season two?? Hoho if it's so I would LOVE to watch it it's voiced by Koko-chan too and she's got her book so why not continue the story? And that's why you put your name on the book you want to publish lmao I can never stop talking about this series I can't even

[TL:DR; This Anime has the perfect mix of action, comedy, drama, and mysteries all packed into a lovely animation. Trust me, it's worth a watch.]

P.S. "This is the me who loves girls" How is this worse than the previous episode lmao Saya-Elaina GO AWAY haha please Ede-chan we did this last week

P.P.S. I swear it's going to be a total joy just to imagine the origins of all the other... 14 Elainas that weren't described of their pasts, other than Protagonist and Violent Elaina. Like seriously, Russian her is a literal mistake she made at a certain crossroad lmao but now we know she will like Russian culture hehe imagine what a difference it'll make for this series if that were the route!! Haha also thank goodness we didn't make this into another lesbian Anime with lovestruck her (Audience: Shoujo-ai, please)

[Since this is Elaina banzai why not comment on more of her different selves right? Oh no we are missing somebody where's arrogant b*tch Elaina is she number 17?? Haha]
