COME ON ME WHY YOU NOT LET KOKO-CHAN PHOTOBOOK BE THIS WEEK!!??? Haha I can only blame myself I guess because besides not putting in payment in the original store pre-order and then waiting for another day after consolidation to send out from the forwarding service... I could've done that yesterday to be honest.Β 

But I discovered the wonders of animated wallpapers on desktop and mobile! I think that's more important haha I can now just look at bikini clad women on my desktop all day- Okay maybe Naobou interview wallpapers are better haha I'll get bored of the former in a week to be honest who can win Touyama Nao anyways?

Anyways, new season of Anime time! So this is basically just testing out the mines out there week probably next week too, so apart from Anime "KanoKari" and "Shikimori-san" let's hope I can reject the two new originals so I can give whatever I found yesterday that wasn't in the Anime Preview post I listed last week somehow- Like really RC, you don't give a shit about cute girls slice-of-life? Because I do. *giggles*

Let's get to it then! It's Japan immersion week here I went to Donki yesterday and then Anime today! Haha It's kind of like Anime Expo in the US of A but who cares about Koga Aoi being there lmao




をニパ Kanojo, Okarishimasu
"Sometimes I slightly cross the line..." Yeah okay that's pretty much all them girls in this series lol
Oh okay the front is just a recap, goes to show how much propaganda is already in this series when you learn of all the girls' true characters. *laughs* Anyways, welcome back to this series with a new episode (#KanoKari13) where I almost forgot Chizuru was considering quitting her rental girlfriend job. Well it has been nice, girl; We'll let the other two pick up the slack. *laughs* Okay, let's start from the top. Oh yeah, if you forgot how any of these four main girls have ever left any impression on you hopefully Sumi-chan too lol, you would've remembered that dear wimp boy Kazuya accidentally rented a girlfriend after breaking up with his ex Mami-chan, ended up with Chizuru and even showed this fake partner to her grandmother (shout out to her, MVP every season lol) which made them technically real as of now I guess, but actually Kazuya's current partner is Ruka-chan and we all know he's secretly dating, uh, I mean, training Sumi-chan to be a independent rental girlfriend. Hey, tell me you remembered all this. *laughs* Or if you also forgot that Chizuru is aiming to be a stage play actress too. Yeah, that I almost forgot about that. *laughs* Umi-san too, Kazuya had to bring that male colleague of hers up. So yeah, this episode might be short since it's just Kazuya's trip to watch the damn play she is acting in and apparently Sumi-chan is here to probably to learn from her senpai, the play was great. Chizuru stood out of her role so well, it was the highlight of the play itself. Problem is, that one director who was supposedly scouting new talent out of this play, is I would say, strapped up in relations to be able to give our dear MVP of the play a chance and instead chose the main girl of the play since I guess someone s**ked that old man d**k or something. *laughs* But yeah, ironically though, Kazuya already knew what she was thinking even without knowing the truth about the darkness of the showbiz industry haha I mean Chizuru what did you expect outside of the rental girlfriend industry lol, and that he nailed it at telling her to still put in her best to pursue her dreams of being an actress. Which isn't wrong, rental girlfriend isn't exactly a great job anyways especially with more criticism than ever, but what's the difference, right? It's all acting anyways. *dabs* Either way, definitely triggered something in Chizuru I believe, and that might be the motivation and/or whatever other stuff going forward I hope. All in all, it has been refreshing to watch this level of drama again or Kazuya idolism or something haha. I recalled what I hate most about this series though, on how all the characters can't get into themselves apart from Kazuya to be honest maybe my focus has changed since the first season, but this really doesn't matter when we have to put everyone else into this mess of a hotpot anyways so *laughs* See you all next week where hopefully the series will pick up their pace back and show us more... More... I don't know what to expect, more acting? Haha yeah, more acting, yes, because everyone's lying anyways lol see you then
P.S. Shout out to that blob in Kazuya's room aquarium with the "What'cha doin? It's second season" shtick lol like what
P.P.S. "I guess that's how it feels to have a ticking time bomb on you..." Yeah time is running out and you gotta say to your Gramps you broke up with "your girl" bro

をニパ Lycoris Recoil
"We can't allow the existence of people who disrupt our society. We can't even allow them to exist in the first place" Okay that sounds like extreme stuff lol
Yeah, if I had to be a criminal just to be erased by cute Anime girls, I might as well be one right now. *laughs* "I'm perplexed!" SAME DUDE lol because in this first episode of an original series I don't quite get (#LycoReco01) we have cute Anime girls apparently orphans because cute boys can't do this lmao, who are trained as hitmen to get rid of all the criminals in the area. So much so, the fictional city of Tokyo in here is the best in security on the planet. Yet of course, if you make it this clean, problem is we will see even more people who dare to take on the authority, and thus this is probably how it will pan out. Politics, I mean. If you wonder why this can be so, look no further at Takina-chan's final mission before she was kicked out of the DA which sounds like a higher level executive force who are involved in more covert operations including this maybe "no drugs involved" deal up in the building which will require, and this is probably our Joker card for the series, Chisato to help out early in the morning. So yeah, that. Not surprising that Takina is the flexible yet ruthless character where her actions of firing that MG across the whole last stand where the opponents are, probably was a bad idea because according to higher ups means their final clue to this supposedly drug lord is gone as they need the baddies alive, also risked to kill one of her other teammates held hostage, probably got kicked out for all those reasons plus something to cover the organization's operation whilst being hacked by someone from outside which has his name censored in the credits lol we don't even know who Walnut is and you censor the voice behind it AND its credit? Okay, Anime, final boss warning I guess. *laughs* Other than that, we are also quickly introduced with black sniper Mika who probably oversees the cafΓ© or safehouse they work in, and Misaki who is a retiree of the organization and literally summed up what this "Lyroris" thing is basically. So in case you need a hint the "Recoil" part of this title is probably something biting back at the organization, no surprises there. What is surprising though, is what they do in this specific outpost in the guise of a cafΓ©. Uh, not killing, for starters. Helping others out though, is Chisato's main duty. No guns though, even though I say that when they had to and that's where she shows even more proficiency as a killer compared to Takina, noticing minor details at the scene like spy drones out of sight to killing eliminating the opponent by making them unconscious and using the super expensive Cleaner services to deal with them instead of giving the people involved to the DA. Which is of course no point since these guys were probably hired to get rid of a bystander who happened to take a selfie with her boyfriend with the background being the drug deal earlier and posted it online. Welp, gotta check your surroundings next time or screen your photos first before some cute girls come talk to you about your recent death threats. *laughs* All in all... I haven't rejected this yet, not completely. I'm not the DA who has to cover my reputation and not give this just because I watched an Anime original about girls with guns. *laughs* Also this is not isekai-themed so we good. *laughs* Everything else seems to be in order though especially the animation with author of "KONOBI" series Imiguru-sensei as character design and familiar artists ClariS and Sayuri with the theme songs, but I would definitely say my only grime I really don't want to see in any Anime series nowadays is guns, but looks like non-lethal guns can exist so this might be nicer and more stealth than I thought, think "GREAT PRETENDER" but more politics, which is technically worse in my opinion. And I like to believe cute Anime girls Chisato and Takina here can carry the series for another 3 months so... why not? *giggles* I will watch another 2 episodes though following the three-episode rule whenever I heard of this lol, to see if it still can hold up. But seeing the end we have a bad guy who blew up some building waltz in to the cafΓ© I can't believe this will be any simpler with this fast pace drama, so we shall see.
[TL:DR; I know it's Anzai Chika as main girl but don't you think Chisato should sound cuter? Like, waaaaaay cuter?? Just a thought haha this just sounds like another Ryou-san from Anime "Taisho Otome"]
P.S. "The creepy syndicate gathering orphans and making them hitmen like you Lycoris" Yeah this series in a nutshell lol the title quote is not a joke
P.P.S. "Incidents become accidents, and tragedies become inspiring stories" You need to know politics? You're welcome haha

をニパ Engage Kiss
"I'm eating right now for the first time in three days" You meant food, right? Because I'm pretty sure you have been eating some high school pussy-
Haha the main guy Shuu is literally me when my parents ask me about my life. *laughs* Just that, that was his ex. *laughs* In this first episode of another Anime original by the same damn production studio Aniplex as the above by the way (#EngageKiss01) I would like to ask you all a question: Do you even need more than TWO women in your life? *laughs* For main guy Shuu apparently, yeah. *laughs* Because apart from living off his ex Ayano who he supposedly was working under the same company as her until he quit, is now then welcomed by Kisara who is a high school student and occasionally comes to his place to help him with his independent company? *laughs* Yeah, it's confusing enough, but with levels reasonable to explain within this episode though, so hear me out. Firstly, the triangle relationship. If you are here for the differences between one guy living off his ex while technically dating a high schooler, you've come to the right place. *laughs* Because clearly this relationship exists and maybe even sexually as can be seen by Kisara and her need for... I don't want to elaborate haha, somehow along the lines the b*tch fighting will happen even if it's just Shuu coming back home to let the demon girl smell him out that he was with another woman, thankfully just the ex lol. Then again, if you are keen on this, then this might be more than enough to let you watch this series I guess, which I honestly don't because have you seen the jokes in "Kyokou Suiri"? That's how I was able to watch another upcoming season of that mystery folklore trash. *laughs* Next up, Shuu's "job". Yep, I won't look into the virtual bid this much but you should have noticed the somewhat futuristic setting where demons lurk around the humans and someone who lost all his money is raging in a casino killing humans lol is that even necessary. I'm not so much as so annoyed by the bidding process though it just only reminds me of the projects at my work and I hate it lmao, but more of how Shuu is just hopelessly broke if not for Ayano and her mom which is the head of that very company dealing with such demons, taking his low bids as an "entrepreneur" and keeping him somewhat alive until now. Yeah, that I assume Kisara here can't do much considering she doesn't have much backing and is basically a demon but powered by love? Yeah, and this is probably is what pissed me off despite the idea of this being real novel and probably unique in circumstances. Like, who talks about problems with money in Anime nowadays? "KanoKari"?? *laughs* Anyways, there's that. Lastly though, it's the contract. Yep, to no surprise to anyone, clearly Kisara is killing demons with the power of love and NOT killing everyone in the casino including the ex because... yep, you bet something happened. *giggles* I mean, ignoring how much I can already call the cops on myself by seeing Shuu making out with a minor lmao, it's also that which might be the final draw for the series just because this is probably coming back to kill the main guy at some point and we can do nothing about it. Maybe. *laughs* And that is probably what I am not convinced about. Comparing this to series like "Kuroshitsuji" and even "LycoReco" above, we have that absolute power not driven by revenge or mystery, but love. *silence* What level of love that is I'm not too sure it's an original series anyways, but that is what I will be apprehensive about at the end apparently, probably also why this guy left where he was working in anyways, for this girl's powers to show his career independence. All in all though, I'll give this another 2 episodes I guess. Also, the demon things aren't even talked about by the way, how the cores were not even needed to kill the damn thing because it ended up being a slash or something. I don't know whether I can be satisfied (not ecchi enough, get it?) from just watching the triangle relationship and THEN forgetting how much I made out with the cutest girl in the series lmao I did say I wanted Ayano as my girlfriend in the preview but that's last week bro. *laughs* We just have typical action level series story, a poor bloke and some relationship thing where I don't even care because they just fought about it in this very episode and will do it every episode anyways. *laughs* So yeah, we shall see if this can even carry itself for a while before we even talk about antagonists in this series because someone's printing out them demons out there, don't ya think? Yeah RumiRumi, I'll see if you will appear by then hehe
[TL:DR; The romance in this series is like Shuu's dinner: Huge feast tastes great but it can't last forever, and you have to deal with cold rack once you reach home lmao *dabs*]
P.S. "I'll decide for myself what is my past and what is my future for me" Ah haha I see shitting on your ex isn't it? *laughs*
P.P.S. "I smell the scent of another woman!" Well, it has been nice knowing you, Shuu-kun. *laughs*
[Like, between this demon making out with you until you're unconscious and "Yofukashi no Uta" next week with a vampire sucking you off at the dead of night, what is YOUR preferred way to die? *laughs*]

をニパ Kawaii Dake ja Nai Shikimori-san
"I can't believe every alarm clock in the house broke on the day of (Izumi's) big test..." Wow can you not believe that though? Haha
You know, Izumi got used to it. But seriously though, would you be used to your bad luck? Like, ask gamblers worldwide why they don't quit, dude. *laughs* In this new episode (#ShikimoriSan11) where we have more flashbacks, well according to the timeline this is full on flashback but not like, one year ago where the main couple were together period. Like, way before, when Shikimori was in middle school? Yeah haha. Surprisingly though, she is NOT cute back then she just looks like Izumi with pink hair lmao, and much of her life is still determined by the mother who by the way though? Shikimori's mom? Not cool. Not compared to Izumi's. *dabs* And of course the brother, mostly influenced by them don't ask where's the dad, she did karate as a kid, and wore clothing which might not be cute due to her mother's tastes? I mean, when she overcooked a fish and she said it's okay? This mother is not cool. Look at my mom and you'll know. *laughs* But yeah, things change around the years that went by, and so do the people around her which then the brother kindly reminded her to have some individuality in choosing umbrellas- Okay that one who cares I didn't like the Avengers but they only have that Thor umbrella in Miniso you can't blame me for just buying anything popular lol, but yeah, more like life choices, in a nutshell. So just like how I chose to buy voice actress goods all the way from Japan and paying all the damn money to international shipping lol we gonna have more of that soon hehe, but suffice it to say many things in life you have to decide on your own. Which also kinda explains how Micchon doesn't have any hobbies even if she does read manga and got recommended a book by the classmate which shout out, introduced her to the world of love- Okay, world of Anime love because we know real life isn't like this. And even more ironically, it really IS NOT as cool as Shikimori would have thought growing up, as she screwed up her first impression in front of a dude in high school entrance exams trying to pick up the ticket flown RIGHT into a tree. Yep, there can only be someone with that level of bad luck especially without a gust of wind blowing. *giggles* And that's probably how their love started. Which is interesting, the least to say. Because if you think about it on how shallow their romance is so far (like seriously, at where they are now? Normal couples would've made out day and night hehe) it's not just because of Izumi's luck or just him not being brave enough as his ageless father when he was in middle school and how he got along with his mother lol, but also likely because Shikimori herself is not aware of how to be the girlfriend in a relationship. I mean, look at her mom. *laughs* So yeah, we have a real amateur couple right here despite being a couple for almost a year, and we can only still envy them after all this while because they can go on dates alone now that the festivities has concluded and they have some time to themselves. *wink* So yeah, desperate as Izumi as he is... keen on talking to the girl more lol yeah no sex ladies and gentlemen, in which they quickly decide on an amusement park with a trailer they saw online to please. TheyΒ gotta go now; Shikimori wants the kiss scene, right? Says the director haha fourth wall break. *laughs* All in all, the girl is totally prepared to go on a date with the boy again despite not buying anything new while still getting a free lipstick by the brother haha hey shout out to the best brother in Anime lol he's cool too constantly getting seduced on the streets, so I hope you all are haha I mean prepared not like, seduced. *laughs* Because if the conclusion for this series is an amusement park date with a kiss? I'm ready. Totally. Watched two kiss scenes this previous season already. We are due two weeks, I'm already all stoked up. Haha see you all next week for the series that blew away my expectations and more, like, seriously, I want a Shikimori as my girl hehe
[TL:DR; I'm not as cool as Shikimori's brother to see someone who wants a certain something and THEN find a way to buy it for them. I can't do that, honestly, even if I noticed. I know, I am not cool enough haha also pretending to put on lipstick for someone lmao]
P.S. "God, are things ever getting better for me?" Me when I didn't get any new SSRs in that video game gacha lol "If only a hero would to appear before me..." Well Izumi you already got one so *sonofabitch* Maybe that's why he's so down on his luck because people are cursing at him? Ah
P.P.S. "I'm just not good with people I've not met" Yeah that's called anti-social bro "We call that being shy" Haha see? *laughs*
[I had to repeat that part at least a dozen times more because Shikimori going "no it's not" when asked if she so wanted to go to the amusement park by Izumi is THE CUTEST I've heard Oonishi Saori speak lmao so here's more cute Shikimori haha you're welcome]






音ζ₯½ This Week on Klassic Note
Unlike last week in Klassic Note where I just simp over Scenarioart and damn it was great, this week in music is NOT great, so let's talk about what ended last month since we're in the new month already so I hope my impression of them got better lol. Murder by Death's 1st album from 2002 sure is rough, mainly because of their initial style resembling folklore music, so they sound a lot more coarse and undefined compared to their recent albums which had better themes and don't sound like I'm listening music from another planet, or song titles long enough to reach Pluto or something. *laughs* I will still try to give maybe one song though for its uniquely familiar melody if that makes sense? The Floor's new mini-album which was the one released this week was not great I could even say terrible, as most of the melodies did not make much sense or click within me, so I'm literally struggling to give the one song which maybe I'll just not give to be honest. The new lyric video did not help much though, by the way. I also listened to Takigawa Alisa's collaboration single with some dude lol and it isn't bad, it's just her with city pop feels which is refreshing considering her generic pop style so it was still worth a listen I might just pick up one song I guess. So yeah, as you can see, not too much praise this week, which really brought down June as I know of it. Well, we got the other Collection Artists doing the carry so we are fine hehe

We have a lot of news this week on Twitter talking about music so let's cover all of them even if I'm due for those news for a year lol, SHE'S will be releasing new live videos on YouTube every week until their Blu-Ray release end of the month so I hope it's all the songs I liked OR there's the digest if you want it quick, Hanazawa Kana's new song for her upcoming single is not that great so I hope I can still give the topic song when the music video releases next week, No Buses vocalistΒ Cwondo's new music video is just him going for a run haha okay the song isn't bad though, did not even realize this but in listening to their songs recently I found out that Tokyo Karankoron has disbanded as of June 2020Β likely due to the female vocalist being a momΒ so we are given a live digest videoΒ released last year to commemorate that because they concluded this with a final live event too with the pandemic stopping them somehow, Fuchigami Mai's new music video isn't too bad and I meant the song for an Anime opening theme song, RYTHEM's Niitsu Yui finally revealed a new song probably in view of the 2nd solo album under her own name (instead of under "Neat's") but it was revealed in the live event of RYTHEM's so good luck to anyone outside to be able to listen to it, miwa's new and first EP releases next month apparently it's her first I guess, THE ORAL CIGARETTES released a live video digest on YouTube for their upcoming live Blu-Ray in August, as mentioned in her fanclub event because I signed up for it lol Kitou Akari's 3rd album will release in October, CHiCO with HoneyWorks' new single will release in August following its credit for Anime "KanoKari" opening haha yep I'm giving this girl again I guess, Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new song will release tomorrow on streaming services so if you are keen do check them out on time, Uesaka Sumire's new album will release in October which no doubt I will give none of her weird songs but I hope to give something normal which I guess is asking a lot lol,Β 

So next week, I think I may have mentioned this before, but since we have a free week and ironically from the Skream list of releases I recognized this one guy from No Buses so we'll listen to Cwondo's new album on time this time around compared to the album last year which we listened to start this year's Klassic Note. *silence* I just hope it's good the music video is just him going for a run lol you mocking me bro? *laughs*




And holy crap we get to see the new trailer for Anime "BLEACH" final arc due October and man it looks great! Not as good as I thought it'll be but my imagination is endless so it's kinda unfair to them but they could do better. *laughs* The only consolation I'll have is that I'll still enjoy it to the fullest especially with the new cast of characters for the villains including now pregnant Taketatsu Ayana by the way haha I know right I hope she had time to do the recording before going on maternity leave. *silence* Kaji Yuki you sonofa- Cya guys next week then, and until then, hopefully until then, fingers crossed haha, we get Koko-chan's photobook. I need some direction in life right now and I swear seeing some Kohara Konomi skin will SURE bring in the light. Haha bye then

P.S. Also this weekend I learnt the power of live wallpapers on desktop and Android and boy this "Wallpaper Engine" app can do wonders (desktop is paid btw), so I recorded some in-game footage. DOAXVV for desktop and oh boy it's good seeing girls in underwear any time of the day lmao ah, and Alternative Girls because they have perfect loops I can put in repeat that will only make me cry the more I see Ookubo Rumi's character smile. *silence* The past is harsh haha

P.P.S. Okay I bought Nan-chan's newest photobook back in 2020 and I found A LOT of wallpaper-worthy images so screw animated wallpapers I'm done with them haha
