Well, it's Sunday, guys, you know what that means...It's time for me to play more simulation games so I can forget that I have to watch Anime this week- Maybe reviewing Anime was a mistake. *laughs* But yeah, I need to get that itch off watching shows and this is the best way I know how without finding friends to talk to about this because like they watch the stuff I do, so here we are. Man, did we come a long way. Remember when this place was just text and just a year ago it was about photobook reviews?
Haha okay jokes aside, let's talk music and Anime once again! Still more exciting than my own life which I rather not mention because just ask me whether I've changed jobs over the last week to make things interesting lmao even my sis changed jobs
アニメ Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru.
Well, "finally some action" is something I normally wouldn't say, but I think I said that for a lot of action series which refuse to give more action every episode so here we are. And amongst all this action, we have a conclusion. You know what I'm talking about. Yes, ignoring the title drop, in this new episode (#TanMoshi09) we infiltrate the SPES headquarters where they are supposedly at thanks to Chameleon dropping the hint to us... I have a feeling that they dropped a lot of context in this episode since probably the original manga would've elaborated, but nonetheless, let's see how much I can decipher from this aggression alone. So, the trio ie. best couple (lol) along with Charlotte go to that island off whatever country we were in to stop those guys, or as Siesta (RIP) has elaborated we are going in to get rid of Hel and rescue Alicia? So first things you would ask yourself is didn't Chameleon talk about how supposedly Hel changed form and became Alicia? I guess he was also deceived but maybe not, because with the reveal of actual alien character Seed who let's just say it is just an alien literally, went on and talked about itself being the cause of SPES and why it is trying to survive probably eliminating and living off humans in order to be around on this planet, so as to say. It's disgusting, that pile of corpses didn't help much, but there's more. Chameleon showed his face ironically with the obvious intention to stop them from leaving, but Charlotte took care of him I guess so Kimizuka got the runaway to find Siesta (RIP) who might be in danger. And here's where the drop is. If you haven't been hinted by me so far as with Siesta's (RIP) fate then go watch the episode before you continue from here. Or just read between the brackets I've put down enough of those now haha. Anyways, looks like Chameleon is truly one of his name, since besides being a distraction, he also was fighting against Siesta outside of the headquarters? Okay, TanMoshi, ELI5 (ie. Explain like I'm 5) (I should stop using old abbreviations lol) how this would've made sense to us because I can't comprehend this already lol. But never mind, no matter what the case is, Hel got to them somehow. And because Siesta (RIP) is a genius, she figured out that Alicia and Hel aren't both of the same thing, but coincidentally, both under the same thing, that Seed thing. So yeah, call him Daddy or something, but yeah, his two daughters apparently have different opinions of this planet, it seems. Alicia kind of likes this world so much so she would rather part with her evil self which is probably on Hel at this point or maybe it's the other way around, but yeah, Alicia rather not believe this world is getting eliminated by the father I suppose. On the other hand, we have Hel who is inherently jealous of the sister I think, and is bent on following that Bible and just like the dad, is bent on eliminating any humans getting in their way of operations. A robot of sorts, I would argue. You know, to get the affection back from the father, if there is any in the first place. Do aliens know love? *laughs* But hey, these two do, Siesta and Kimizuka, they have a spiritual bond which will stop them from killing each other even under Hel's psychic command. Sure, man. Doesn't mean we can't kill them separately. Then blah blah blah monster comes out from nowhere so yes I was right it was to feed this thing all along since that fight, and Siesta (RIP) tried to save Kimizuka? Yeah, this is the part I was confused about, and then Siesta (RIP) (okay me we get it) dropped dead on the ground. This time, probably not breathing already. Because as Hel somewhat protected these two (lol thanks) from that monster by stabbing it on the head, Hel is suffering substantial damage but instead of just dying like a good antagonist lol, she, uh, took over Kimizuka's place as detective? Ugh. Title drop, I guess, and they had to show the unscientific way to heart transplant, huh. Well, at least Siesta isn't screaming while her heart got ripped out. *gags* Ugh, I don't feel too well. *pukes* A-Anyways, Kimizuka can only watch of course as his buddy got her heart ripped out because remember the psychic powers? And Hel lives to see another day- Hold on, hold on... WHAT?? *laughs* Yep, so, to conclude ignoring it was part of Kimizuka's dream since this probably did happen it was a flashback anyways he's just reliving the past... how is Nagisa's heart here as is now? Yep, gotta start thinking guys, before Kimizuka goes to sleep again and we have to see some level of crying scene that is not going to happen just because. But yeah, that's got us a lot to think about. All in all, this episode... I think besides the title drop because yep I've waited for weeks for this lol, the animation for the fighting was rather disappointing because for example why didn't the monster tentacles move as they rise up from the ground (yeah), and other than that, I guess it's too convenient a way of storytelling, just like every other action series, I guess. I mean, the storytelling could've been better, I'll give you that. Other than that, you would be glad I'm still on this bandwagon despite the death of the best character of this season lmao (okay Kimizuka go hug her now I guess lol and if you don't I'll do it *sob*), and we shall see if this flashback if some prophecy for current events in this storyline going forward. I highly doubt so since what's dead is dead unless you're that Seed thing but who knows? Siesta (RIP) might be an alien or Hel's sister something, I don't know. Haha cya guys next time while I go mourn on Siesta's corpse- YOU RUINED HER CHEST TOO HEL!!!! YOU BITCH WHY CAN'T YOU OPEN HER UP FROM THE BACK??? lol okay me say sorry to Siesta you doofus"Our goals are clear: Subduing Hel and rescuing Alicia" Wait Siesta, aren't they the same person? What are you talking about
[TL:DR; When you learnt that agony is never being able to hug Siesta again lol Kimizuka why don't you understand this]
Not going to show death scenes here so (Charlotte is adorable, isn't she? Also sexy) |
P.P.S. "How could I do something so embarrassing?" Not even when Siesta is drink, Kimizuka? Haha well in that case Siesta is doing it to him lol
アニメ Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid
Please, Walter, Rob is not a creep Bocchan is more of a creep since he has that curse on him haha ah. *laughs* In this new episode where we can talk about Christmas now just three months earlier (#ShinigamiBocchan09), yay this is actually a happy episode. Well, as happy as it gets, we still have some stupid family issues to deal with. But OTHER THAN THAT!! *laughs* Okay, let's get that out of the way first, is the mom's knowledge of what her kids have been doing. Last time, we know that the mom knows Viola has been leaving house as and when she likes and skipping meals with the family, and boy oh boy the brother is also covering it up for her, so yeah, essentially she doesn't know where her daughter is going unlike maybe the servants haha, even though we know it's to see Rob lmao. But yeah, just that Rob is in the same mansion as Bocchan, the one the mother warns of not visiting due to his curse or something. But nope, that's not going to stop Walter the brother from disguising as the only companion ie. the driver, to go to the mansion with Viola on that two-hour ride in the snow- TWO!!! *laughs* Anyways haha, before they arrive, we can talk about Cuff and Zain, essentially Bocchan's only friends he made purely by coincidence. Well, if you would remember it almost became an arson if not for Cuff being nice enough to ask for food instead of taking it by force, but yeah, Zain talks about more stuff about his companion which is shown in contrast to Alice I guess, but hey, I believe that Alice is too much for me. It's like that Goldilocks story where Alice is the Papa porridge and Cuff is the just-nice bowl of porridge. You with me? *giggles* But yeah, personality might be a problem considering one's a maid and the other is just a spoiled brat who wants to be recognized by the buddy lmao. Speaking of spoiled brats *gets burnt into a crisp* (lol Cuff I like you too Zain's the one who can't express himself), Viola arrived with the "driver" lol poor mom eating alone at the main mansion, and we dive into Walter's secret mission of scoping the brother's abode? Sure, James Bond, whatever. *laughs* Yes, this guy is probably also a spoilt brat, going off how much he thinks he's being ridiculed for inheriting the family but not so much so being cursed by a witch that might never be removed? Hey bro, you don't know anything. Moving on, he managed to sneak in to the mansion which has occupants I can count with one hand without being noticed lol, he found a Santa outfit which looks like it's meant for Rob which would probably be more interesting if it's on him so we can hear Viola squeal more haha, but yeah this dude wore it as disguise and got mistaken as "Santa" by Cuff because she believes in Santa and doesn't know it's actually your parents who put the presents under the tree every year. *sshh* And Walter gave the present he found on the ground which Viola dropped and gave it to Cuff while perfectly pulling off his disguise... To be honest? I thought Rob would appear and he wouldn't notice Walter so he can sneak in perfectly because yes lol Rob can't see or hear for shit. *laughs* So yeah, Walter appeared in front of the others through the chimney because how you gonna arrive as Santa without a chimney lol, and I think the only thing we need to get out of Cuff refusing to give Viola her present from Santa and almost went to burn it because of a "poisonous flower" lol, is that Walter wants a showdown with Bocchan on who is to inherit the family title. So yeah, breaking the curse, apparently. With two half-witches here and a trip to the wizarding world (GO AWAY HARRY) (lol) Bocchan takes the challenge with confidence. Because if this brother can help break his curse, he'll probably be happy living without the title, BEING SECOND in the house haha, and be with Alice forever. Because I would. *dabs* All in all, it was fun, they had a Christmas insert song which actually doesn't sound too bad this well likely get into my music collection, Walter was sad because he had to create a cool exit for his pitch to the brother but forgot he's the driver so he had to wait for Viola outdoors lmao, and we got some conclusion to the flashback we saw last week. Yeah, that's real cool there, that last part haha. This episode definitely paid off for the sadness last week and monotonous feels the week before, I must say. And we're near the end so you think Walter has a solution to Bocchan's curse yet? Haha maybe we'll find out in the next few episodes, who knows?"But I'm sad that I can't spend Christmas Eve alone together with Bocchan" Haha Alice, we can still do it in your room tonight HAHAHA *dabs*
A good man knows how to appreciate beauty... |
P.P.S. "She (Viola) is going to see Rob" lmao the servants also know?? How far has this news been spreading already? *laughs*
[Yes, if you didn't personally record down where Viola says "thank you onii-chan" go do it and set it as your alarm haha]
Man, you ready for your punishment now? lol |
アニメ Kanojo mo Kanojo
Yes, this is the enjoy-all-you-want buffet style happiness (sadly with Milika) but until the drop actually happens just like Anime "KoiKimo" and "HigeHiro"... just as Saki-chan said, let's enjoy it now! In this new episode where we do the onsen thing because the trio technically haven't went on a proper date (#KanoKano10), ah wow I didn't really expect things to go any other ways but, but then again considering the author I'm glad he exists to make this as screwed up of a situation as possible even with Naoya's smooth brain explaining his innermost desires. *laughs* Yeah, he's just pushing it throughout this episode, huh. Haha anyways, story. Story goes that last week because of you know what happened, the trio decided, or Naoya decided, that a date will be a great way to foster their relationship(s) in time for such a situation to happen again, but yeah, it's as smooth as it can go. With them excited for the trip, the three of them go shopping for clothes, and the two girls then realized that honestly speaking? They can't be all at Naoya at once, not even for the kissing. I mean, a 3* is fine, but yeah, this is no porno and we still have some moral values to hold lol, so... maybe not? Besides, we have a nice Nagisa-chan here who is also technically the 2nd girlfriend in this relationship moving aside such that the two can actually have some time together to, you know, probably clock in some more time compared to Naoya with Milika-san haha. *laughs* Okay jokes aside, but that's how it works. Nagisa has lack of fashion tastes but we know like, Nagisa-chan is putting in so much effort to make Saki-chan like, stand out in front of Naoya to the extent Saki-chan thinks it's unnecessary (ah hey, Nagisa used the same effort to get Naoya to get your boy into two-timing so go figure), Shion is smart to try to ask Naoya to talk to (because if it's her friend SakiSaki she'll lie until the sun sets down lol but too bad) but her shyness is probably stopping her from doing so so... oh well next time haha, and Naoya feels like he has been followed. *laughs* Okay, you know who is stalking him. *laughs* So yeah, as they prepare for the trip, Shion did however try to get to know of where her friend is going to stay at, so I guess she is just going to find out the hard way. Hard as in hard truth. *laughs* So yep, now that the stage is set up to collapse beautifully, let's go to Hakone! *laughs* Besides knowing that it's a relief that Naoya is declaring his love on the train and holding hands with TWO girls at once in public until they reach the abode lmao, we also know that it is really hard to explain to this blockhead that it's just weird to be doing so on contrary to like, talking softly and holding hands with ONE girl and not thinking that advancement in relationship is doing whatever he's thinking of so *laughs* Yeah, this show is f**ked up. *laughs* What's more f**ked up is at the entrance of the hot spring hotel, yes. *laughs* In summary, surprise surprise Milika-san is there for Naoya so that's a problem we predicted since the previous episode lol, but also, Shion is there. Yep. We're screwed. *laughs* But just as the friend of SakiSaki can confirm this and I can't imagine what she will do in this situation, Nagisa came in and paired with Rika-san such that (1) Shion won't suspect that these two are just these two lol and (2) since she's here for support role she can get a hold on Milika so that she won't climb through the walls to find Naoya- *laughs* Sadly, that's just part of the story to deal with, since they still have to keep up with this farce. With Milika ready to take action any time of the day, is the problem. Naoya appears in the room they are in with that outdoor balcony hot spring- man can we have that here lol (Audience: We are 1 degree above the equator bro) (I know haha) just to catch them soaking in the bath but no matter (I know right it doesn't matter? *laughs* YES lol) Naoya is here to take Nagisa back to their room. He argues that since Shion will see her walking to their room he bravely suggested to do that "Chio-chan" stunt by walking on rooftops (Kids, do not try this at home) (lol) to get to each other's rooms- Hey, remember how screwed up the storytelling is in this series? Yep. *laughs* Nagisa was like "no way", so she quickly gets clothed (lol no shit dude you just walked in to two naked women) and ran away so that Milika-san can get her way with him alone. *silence* Uh oh. UH OH. *laughs* All in all, great episode as usual the production definitely did take care of making sure it's as messy of a maze as it should be every episode, and instead of focusing our attention at Shion which will be our actual gatekeeper because why drag Saki-chan's mom into this lol, we have to deal with, yet again, the most irritating bimbo not in a relationship ever voiced by a married woman in this two-timing romance series... did I just summarize half of this Anime series lmao cya guys next time"I can't get Naoya-kun and Milika-san's kissing scene out of my head" Last episode in a nutshell lol
Which outfit is better? (Answer is "yes" they are both bad since both chosen by Nagisa-chan haha) |
P.P.S. "We came here together, right, Nagisa?" lol Nagisa-chan that's outright blackmail Milika-san here with the MeTuber secret but I LIKE IT haha
Kamiya Hiroshi I found out it's the guy who voiced Gin in "BLEACH" (and Lilium in "ACCA"- How did I mistake him for the other? lol I'm so sorry) then you need to watch more Anime. *laughs* So, let's talk about the story that Yamabiko did with the ASMR-level low tones, yes? Haha oh well I can't do that I'm not that sexy. *laughs* So, shall we? The guys in the island mainly Nagara's bunch were still stuck together alone by themselves so far, knowing how every other faction is moving other ways from Nagara in search of... I don't know what lol, but yeah, Mizuho tipped on Yamabiko to talk about his past, or basically just, how he transformed into a dog. But it turns out, we may have dug out a more deeper story than we have asked for, so let's talk all about it. Yamabiko when he was still human got adrift with his classmates at some point, but left them just because. But unlike Nagara who can just create new worlds and be in there, he just travelled. For a really long time, until he was discovered possible unconscious by another group of students led by some girl with the Star Wars "The Force" powers literally, Kodama. Kodama, as we have seen, has the positive powers to change stuff, obviously mostly for the better, and managed to save her group of followers (lol) so far, probably even including Yamabiko who refuses to gang with them even if Kodama gives him chance to do so. We'll come back to that later, but suffice it to say even if she did as he succumbed to her kindness, it was also all for nothing because I guess a mental epidemic struck the community, with everyone (ironically) besides himself getting some weird virus which brings them despair and deteriorated their bodies until they drop dead- Oh so you can die in this world, uh oh. *silence* Anyways, one day, as Kodama found another person with the virus but this time, they all suspect this dude is likely the guy who brought the virus because he looks worse off already, but also, despite his honesty by saying Kodama is ugly with that virus on her face and eyes ugh ok haha, Kodama also wanted to do something for this new guy, just like what she did with Yamabiko too. But interestingly, this new guy gave her some medal for killing people? Yeah okay, this doesn't make much sense until he dropped the bomb on the now doggo, because precisely, he's here to spread the virus since Yamabiko can't make the decision for himself. To save all of them. Yes, he's trapped in his world, with the bunch of them. Think of like, how some of the worlds have leaders already? Yes, but he's rejective of himself as he mentions to Kodama, and that's precisely why the girl wants him to think for himself. See? This world does make sense if you think about it- Nope, nope, no way. *laughs* (lol rejection) But that's also how, after being around for so long, knowing that his powers were to materialize what was in his mind. And since he's thinking of regret pretty much all the time, it doesn't make of a good world to live in, to say the least. Again, just like some others including Nagara, it's something very introvert and downward-spiralling, you wish you can stop thinking like this now lol oh well me try harder. *giggles* Anyways, Yamabiko took probably centuries in his time of flow to get out of his own shell, and that's how he saw these guys. Hey, it's for the better now that everyone in your world is dead. RIP everyone including Kodama who taught him the way. And you too, War, you helped a lot too. (Not doing that "Rush Hour" reference) All in all, a mellow episode to even swallow, but I liked it. It kept me at peace, and gave ample times for realization and plot twist (as a world creator Yamabiko also heard that voice too, go figure), but probably did not help in further understanding in this world apart from yes, the one guy who brought the virus here, War himself. But Nagara might be right: It might not be able to change anything. Remember what this was again? The principal as God's great joke? So yeah, War's objective might still seem bleak after all this while. Also, he wasn't with that leaders' group we have heard of last week, and is likely acting on his own accord. Don't think of how many people he actually killed though he probably blamed on the weakness of the people in those worlds just like how he dealt with Yamabiko's. For that, Nagara has a lot to think about going forward. And we should too. Cya guys next week haha oh the soundtrack of the episode replaced the theme song btw
Me when I saw a good hentai manga haha |
アニメ Sonny Boy
Haha I like how Mizuho is trying to train this "dog" even though he's technically a senpai in this world lol Mizuho can you don't. *laughs* Aren't you also into cats? Oh yeah that's from the grandma. *laughs* In this new episode where we go all mellow and quiet talking about regrets (#SonnyBoy08), I must say I'm liking this ASMR from Tsuda Kenjirou, no joke. Never expected an episode full of storytelling with his voice, but here we are. Also, if you didn't notice guest appearances like Taketatsu Ayana (I got spoiled from her retweet of this episode specifically) (so, so much Ayachi this season haha) and"Hey (Yamabiko), tell us a funny story" Mizuho, you know he's a dog, right? *laughs*
[TL:DR; If this episode is too tough to understand for you: "Her (Kodama's) wish was to walk together with me (Yamabiko) in the outside world, that's all" And no, not Futatsuboshi reference here lol]
Me alone when I don't have a girlfriend lol (That's all the time BOOM got me) |
P.P.S. "Well, I wasn't ever given the freedom to choose" OOF
It's great to be a dog, eh? You get to be patted all day... |
音楽 This Week on Klassic Note
As mentioned last week, this week was labelled "Hololive member songs" on my calendar so *laughs* Anyways, I've gone through the list, so let me bring out my notes to see what I've commented (lol) (also only songs I gave will come with links):
- Tsunomaki Watame's new songs and I'm not talking about the weekly releases this month alone but before that, those two of them were nice specifically this and that, but I prefer the latter so let's see how many songs I can give her. She's aiming for solo artist levels of songs in case you wonder.
- Moving on, didn't expect myself to give Amane Kanata's 1st song because ironically I share the same affinity with UNISON SQUARE GARDEN recently with that composer on hand (what's his name, Tomoya Tabuchi, that's right) so I gave this super fast tempo song even thought I probably won't need a brain rush at work lol. But hey, I've already given so you're welcome Kanatan.
- Natsuiro Matsuri's 1st song still didn't get me after I've heard of it last week so I'm sorry my first VTuber watch lol, and don't even ask me what Sakura Miko's new song sounded like. *laughs* yuiko-san who did the lyrics? Nope, just, nope. *laughs*
- Minato Aqua's new song is a real meh even listening to it the second time so I'm skipping it because of her voice tbh, and don't ask me whether I'll like Omaru Polka's new song. I mean, it's close, these two, but nah. Listen to Polka's first song at your own risk haha
- Shishiro Botan's new song went real well until it didn't, so I didn't bother giving it any further. (Remember, all these are given based on audio impression ie. no video imagery whatsoever, so it should be better)
- Momosuzu Nene's new song is actually great she makes me want to marry her lol, and Murasaki Shion's 1st ever song is very fitting of her magician-like VTuber persona so I'm giving it despite having a weird end and a shorter melody. I did listen to Nenechi's first song which is literally about her but you know, if "ne" is your thing and three of them aren't enough (lol Anime joke) then help yourself to the chorus lmao.
- Houshou Marine's new song written by Yunomi who also wrote Anime "Tonikaku Kawaii" opening theme song still didn't get me even if I gave second chance, and I think it's mainly because of her peculiar electronic-based style. Once again, giving the latter is purely me being lenient at an Anime theme song.
- Last but not least, didn't even know Ookami Mio's new songs are in like, an EP so I listened to all of them, but not like I gave any of them because they sounded edgy to me and also they suffer from the same melody issues I rather not discuss.
So there you have it, the full roundup. I only spent like, three days on these total in commute so it isn't much since rejecting songs was swift lmao. To add on, I saw Takebuchi Kei's new album around so I decided to listen to it yesterday... and gave chance to one song because it reminded me of Anime "GREAT PRETENDER" from last year. Oh well, I tried. This album had 100% more electronic pop which was far cry from her album back in 2014. (You see, the thing about gaining an audience with easy-listening first albums... lol)
So next week, it looks like we'll be slowly up to pace with new songs incoming, so let's start off this month with Necry Talkie's new single for Anime "KanoKano" and I hope this mainstream stuff can be good but we shall see, and maybe I'll listen to Sayuri's new song when I have the time. There you have it, folks. (lol I sound like a TV host)
Man, it's just sad still playing a game that is already about to end in two months. The gacha do not work anymore so my spare gems are left for nothing but I did roll out my final "new" SSR card last month though so that is nice, there isn't much left to do now besides grinding on stuff that might be locked after the service ends and it transitions to the offline version where we can use some of the features like photo-taking forever thanks staff, but sadly, those that are not unlocked for example relationship levels with the girls might stay locked forever. And those, the staff has concluded with proper character endings where we meet the girls years later, with new outfits and storyline. Man, do you regret spreading your love through all the girls now and not being able to unlock those endings because you didn't focus on one? Stupid idiot. *laughs* Anyways, cya guys then, the package is taking shape though there isn't much development since last time
P.S. My sis, who recently decided to change jobs, thought of buying the same phone as I intend to change to by the end of the year, the Google Pixel 5. *silence* I must be dreaming lmao but hey, no couple phones please she's my sis and I don't have a siscon- ("How to know if your sis has a brocon" lmao)
