Well I think I might just start this earlier every week now, and because I really don't want to watch Anime on weekdays, we shall watch all weekend!! Haha maybe not once I reject Urusei Yatsura since the others will only air on Saturday nights SO!! *laughs*As expected BLEACH was licensed to Hell (get it?) so letting it air on a Monday in Japan and letting the fansub groups catch up might be a wise choice, so I think this will be the move going forward anyways. Also, we know the plot already it's just how much Kubo-sensei may have tweaked it since he oversees overall production on this final arc so *shrugs*
Without further ado as I started this on a Saturday, let's!
γ’γγ‘ Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen
Hey, you thought staying overnight was fun with that Anime last season? Wait till you have to deal with Hollows as a shinigami. *dabs* Okay that's just for me personally but I really did not expect to be living this long and BE talking about my beloved action series which brought me into the world of Anime a decade and a half later, so before we talk about the episode, let's talk about feels. (Haha if you want to skip find the episode hashtag) This all started with the 20th anniversary of the original work back in 2001 when I was still a kid not knowing anything in school and only till around 2007 did I know of this from my classmates and then I was in middle (secondary) school, when the world was on fire back in 2021 at this point and they gave us more fire by announcing the Anime adaptation of the final arc of the original manga probably due to the rising popularity of its currently only mobile game Brave Souls, finally found enough capacity to complete the only action series I had dreamt of on my bed, literally. Fast forward to today where with some years of production they are finally ready to start, and I could not be more happier. So, as usual, first episode of any arc is for warmup (#BLEACHTYBW01), as we talk about Hollows being removed from existence. Also, they are so big, even the stationed shinigami in Karakura Town can't deal with it, and we have two. Man, are these Hollows considered Adjuchas? They don't talk though haha so many questions. (Yes, I'll link everything I say in lore to a Wiki in case anyone thought I was making all this up) But fret not, they might just be in a little squeeze seeing all these spawn in the Real World because there was an imbalance of soul powers likely due to the massive killings in Hueco Mundo which *wink* we shall not talk about the perpetrators for now, we might need some help from the main four living in the town which also includes a Quincy haha ah hey, but overall, it's all in a night's duty amirite, fellas? Eh, Shino? Ryuunosuke? Why are you guys on the ground? Didn't Ukitake and/or Rukia train you guys well- Okay they were just bait, isn't it? Central 46? *laughs* I don't know who made these orders down, but considering we have some Arrancar curious to walk into the guys' bread supper or something there HAS to be something wrong, we don't even need 12th Squad Captain Mayuri to tell us that, or even 3rd Seat Akon- Hey, I don't have to describe everyone in this series; You go figure it out if you are so keen. *giggles* Anyways, shit happened haha and that's why talking action series isn't exactly fun, RIP 1st Squad Vice Sasakibe you will be missed I will look forward to your Bankai in the future *wink*, old man Yamamoto is pissed but he doesn't get the shadow thing just like Ichigo and boy was that the best animated thing so far in the series haha, and we had our first glace at"To be able to erase the presence of Hollows... it's gotta be them!" Yep, just a reminder, we call them Quincies
MFW I saw the Anime announcement for this final arc |
Introducing the main 4 of the "BLEACH" series: We have (We will talk about her limits in future episodes) |
γ’γγ‘ Urusei Yatsura
Yeah haha what if all the alien invasion is a hoax and we just have some sweet romance? Haha yeah right I figured. *laughs* So yes in case you haven't figured out the plot just by me saying this (#UruseiYatsura01), let's talk about what this classic remake is. This is a remake of the popular(?) 90s Anime series where, in face of an alien invasion, this dude Maboroshi is selected to play a game with one of the alien species to determine the outcome of this takeover. Yeah, it's as clichΓ© as it gets, people. What's more cringe than that is our human representative is randomly picked and his opponent, that's right, is a female alien called Lum. So yeah, in case you wonder how he won... *laughs* Nope, you're not wrong, Maboroshi is a man of culture lol, nothing like his dad who can't stop a quarrel between the mother and kid, still stares at women even though he has human Shinobu as his girl. Again, I can't help but bring my bro into this equation because the only difference is that he's single haha *dabs*, would probably settle on marrying an alien anyways even though all this guy's motivation has been to be with the girl he likes. Earthling girl, by the way. So yes, it's an easy misunderstanding, we have that Cherry monk to vouch for that lmao, and I don't know if you call this bad luck or not and shout out to my bro again for comparisons haha, he did win the showdown by thinking strategically in the way he does: using his perverted brain. *laughs* Since Lum is an alien who can fly and electrify her opponents, one could only feel helplessness as a fellow human and then blaming him on his incapability to win this within 10 days (lol) despite all his limitations as just a fellow commoner. Heck, not like he has access to satellite lasers or even just guns which shoot out binds to stop this Lum-chan per se (sorry for Anime reference overload), but you know, why not just snatch that... I guess bra? What do aliens call those on their planet? *laughs* Ah hey, I'm going to make jokes like this real often if I pick this up so I hope you're ready. Anyways, all in all I think this has crazy 90s comedy vibes maybe even heavier than modern take on such comedy such as Anime "Komi-san", but as much as it feels dated, in this first episode they didn't really give much premise on developments of the characters, or even just, a hint of Maboroshi liking this alien girl at some point. Well, I guess we need that transition phase that'll take a couple of episodes, right? Haha yeah let's not let the signal jamming from the saucer get in the way of this triangle relationship which will turn into a single line at some point lol, because for this lucky guy, his bad luck is just turning around, just about at the right time. Remember how he has to have all the bad luck to be chosen for the showdown? I mean, he could've used email. Haha see you guys around and we shall see if I can forgive this being just casually funny lol I've already given the theme songs internally by the way it's just classic dance pop anyways"Enough about marriage already!" Haha I know someone is triggered but I don't know who *wink*
Okay even I would marry this alien girl instead of Shinobu *dabs* |
P.S. "Nobody told me you could fly!" Haha yeah I mean not like we know right? "Well then you should've done your research" Okay yeah like we know about the world outside Earth
P.P.S. I like how Uesaka Sumire is just voiced as herself as an alien in this Anime haha because this will be the best ONLY reason for me to like this series because I only heard her voice uber cute girls which is not her image by the way *laughs* (Please, that is not cosplay, it's a "recreation" as mentioned by herself haha)
γ’γγ‘ Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double
You see, you don't go to the school festival because you're alone but you guys are CLEARLY together you guys even slept- In this new episode of happiness haha (#UzakiChanS203), oh shit let me cook the rice first. *laughs* Yes, we are expecting the biggest drop of the century lol and it's not because of Uzaki's rack haha, it's the school festival! Because we are going to enjoy days of fun as Sakurai closes himself in his abode playing video games all day. *silence* Yeah, did you also forget he was a shut-in and likes to play games more than Uzaki? *laughs* Because SAME DUDE lol I feel like I have a lot in common with Sakurai minus the muscles. *giggles* Anyways, we know that will not make of great content even the author knows, so he had to devise a plan- I mean, Sakaki had to devise a plan, LITERALLY, to get these two to have a great time in the campus while also making sure everyone in the school knows of this couple who aren't dating. *laughs* How that works though? I feel like I should explain with respect to his perspective, as he explained it to Ami-chan who, we will talk about her later, is also involved in this somehow for some reason to no surprises to anyone haha. Firstly, Sakaki needs a way to get these two to join this festival. So I guess instead of keeping his mouth shut which he normally does, he suggested to the committee that encouraging people to participate in a lottery with spending on the stalls will get them upward to a prize that will make sure Uzaki wants it, like apparently it's a gaming console. *laughs* Hey Uzaki, you don't want something else? Haha oh well what do I know about women. Anyways, Sakurai was okay with just that as an excuse, so he played along with it. Then, Sakaki had to suggest something so cringe to make sure these two get attention, so he said to them to go spend money on the most expensive stalls, like the fortune-telling one ran by the Occult Club. Well, that went great because apart from Sakurai being THE ONLY GUY in the queue haha I mean I would've already thought something was amiss, they didn't read the notice (as with the many times they don't anyways) that mentioned about this queue only doing romance predictions, so hey, no wonder it only got the girls in. Which also will explain that if a couple had the balls to queue on this line means that they aren't worried of getting their fortunes told of them? Wait, what? They aren't a couple? *laughs* THEN WHY IS AMI-CHAN HERE??? *laughs* Well you get the idea, blah blah they are perfect for each other and that's why we have this Anime lol you're welcome says the author, somehow they were prevented from leaving once they noticed Uzaki's friend in front of them will only do romance card-reading, and I guess one of the voices who prevented them from leaving was familiar. *giggles* Haha it's like they know Sakaki was behind this. *laughs* You think? *laughs* And of course in a surprise to no one, both of them are thinking about it even after the event, where Sakurai had his ideal break which is playing games at his place while Uzaki came over to cook. *giggles* Hey, say they aren't a couple yet. All in all, maybe it's just me, but the narrator might be in too much for this episode in order to explain Uzaki's fantasies of assuming that they must be together after doing the fortune-telling which is obviously NOT true that will NOT happen in 20 more season of Anime haha, but hey, what's stopping them? Themselves, I guess. *laughs* Hey, that's the whole point of the series, yes? Oh damn I ran out of rice to eat so see you guys next week then haha"I'm not going to the school festival" SAME DUDE haha why though Sakurai you got Uzaki
[TL:DR; "Why aren't you two dating?" Haha this series in a nutshell]
Which year is that, for the prize to be the PX4?? *laughs* |
P.S. "Do introverts really hate festivals?" Hey Uzaki I am offended by your statement lol "Sometimes I feel like you're a special kind of idiot" O~KAY haha
P.P.S. "Good enough to nearly knock me off my feet more than once" Haha me when I saw Rieri's new music video by the way
γ’γγ‘ Koukyuu no Karasu
Oh, so that's the origin story. Hey shout out to Xing-Xing picking out the literal cutest girl in existence to be the next Consort? Haha I wouldn't have suggested otherwise; This is Anime anyways. *giggles* In this new episode where slavery reigns supreme until a golden feather lands upon your rooftops (#KoukyuuNoKarasu03), *ahem* I think you get the idea me not mentioning "period drama" would help make this more palatable even to me alone so, you're welcome. So, maybe we talk about the past of the Raven Consort for a bit. Story goes, that remember the girl had to dye her hair black to cover her identity as someone from the past dynasty as they will now be hunted by race? Well, not going too much about how that got her mother killed just because she was a bit too late, but then on she has been a child slave which *ahem* couldn't be represented any better until she got picked by the golden chicken. *giggles* Hey, it sounds like a joke until you realize that it was raised by the Consort, the previous one, and that is now her legacy today, this Jusetsu. But today, in her palace she has to deal with a new lady-in-waiting (gotta emphasize, voiced by Kouno Marika) who refuses to let her get her own cup of water lol, that emperor who just somehow goes to her abode more often than the other consorts which- Can you just not appear in here, dude? She's going to get cancelled by your childhood friend at this rate. *laughs* *ahem* Maybe that's also why the also current Empress in waiting (she is LITERALLY waiting to get laid haha *dabs*) paid her a visit too, but you know, who can stop the rumours out there. *ahem* Jusetsu won't change her mind though, we know for now. What will change her mind though, is when she slowly noticed the things around her changing, from possessed servants in the palace to maaaaybe this Raven Consort could use some protection because man, is the past coming back to haunt her. Because I'm pretty sure one would take precautions if you realized someone else out there can use the same magic stuff as she does, calling upon spirits and trapping them in a jar for blackmail? Really, who does such hideous things like this? Well I guess the rebellion so that's why we will be going after them. We did also get back the... I will just call her the Empress' ex lover haha ah hey, his soul so that's good news at least, sadly we had to see her cry because *ahem* and that's why we can't have nice things. And all this prowess about the emperor not being able to treat Jusetsu as a normal consort where he can have babies with her- Truly, TRULY an issue of being the monarch of a nation. *laughs* All in all... Hmm I like the hints that were dropped on this episode about a potential thing where Jusetsu will be haunted by the past on her. Hmm... Should I give this? Can I take the sadness every episode for another 9? Hmm.... maybe? *laughs* It isn't too bad, for starters. We know it's *ahem* already so that's not too surprising. There's more lore than we think there is regarding the lives from the past dynasty so technically we don't know the real identity of the potential villain who will ruin this new empire at some point, but yeah, we have so much going on now, it's hard to think the lore wouldn't be good. So yeah, I guess I'll give this. Jusetsu is too cute to give this up haha ah hey me stop talking like the emperor"From here on, you must live here" Hey if it has good Internet I'll be good *laughs*
[TL:DR; "What do you think of His Majesty?" Uh, you mean from Jusetsu? UH OH haha but seriously though we don't care you can't be detective when you have emotions in your way]
How to identify possessed humans: I mean, pretty chill for the driver who got cursed lol |
P.S. "It would be simpler for an emperor to have someone beheaded than rather than have (Jusetsu) curse them" Like, yeah? Hey, someone's gotta worry if they would be cursed than beheaded okay? Haha *ahem*
P.P.S. "He was my lover" Wait, so as a Consort the Emperor was not your lover? UH OH WAIT WAIT UEDA REINA HAS A LOVER?? *laughs*Β
And that's why she's so adorable- OLD WOMAN GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER lol |
Wow this is quite a week in Klassic Note though it might be the best for the month if the end of the month streak doesn't do this well. That doesn't mean they are all winners though, because Kouno Marika's 3rd single flew through me like a gust of wind not affecting me in any way possible, because the melodies did not land on me so I won't say too much of this comparing to some of Waki Azumi's singles for Anime too since it's the same music label. *silence" What did do well though were krage's new song which we have I have already given, Kitou Akari's 2nd album which though I said it sounds good and actually gave 2 songs literally geared towards my preferences of her singing voice hehe you're welcome Akarin I guess, I failed to give the topic song time and again today's my 3rd time listening to it again and I'm STILL hating the verse of the song, so I shall stop myself from doing so already it really hurts, honestly. The MVP this week should be nano.RIPE's new album as expected they did not disappoint me I easily gave a couple of songs off the bat which then had a music video that week and as I see them releasing new music videos I feel like I have missed out on some of the songs again just because I was too critical and forgot how much I still liked their style after so long. So yeah, as you can see, going pretty well. We don't need Hanazawa Kana's new live video and live performance videos of Nisshoku Natsuko to pad this. *silence* We shall talk on them next week my quota is up hahaι³ζ₯½ This Week on Klassic Note
So, on news concerning music I care about and that is on my Twitter feed(s), Natsukawa Shiina's new music video is not what I expect from such a song but who cares I give songs and video separately and she is lovely anyways so, cinema staff's new song is great but it's not making me desperate enough to give it so I shall wait for a proper release, Waki Azumi's concept album teaser is showing what was a matured feel so let's see how this holds up next month, ClariS new video on THE FIRST TAKE is the recent song making waves along with original Anime "Lycoris Recoil" which was pretty much expected the moment they dressed in blue, VELTPUNCH's new music video(?) for the other song in their new single releasing next week has so many references one of them is within this paragraph itself lol, Takahashi Rie's new music video is her first video with a face reveal (lol ClariS be like) and goddamn is it just the best thing I've seen in years because she doesn't even show this stuff in her fanclub that I'm subbed to currently by the way, I've been making waves on Twitter and on YouTube about RYTHEM's music video of the first song I've heard of them (I recall I was browsing through the CMs in Sony Music Japan's official website and saw this back in 2008), krage's 1st EP releases in December on the same week as Aimer-san and we have heard of them from Anime "Koukyuu no Karasu" I should've waited for this announcement but I guess not, Ueda Reina's new music video clip release will be end of the year which by the way I know half of the songs on the list somehow lol she doesn't have a long track record for her solo music career anyways (and will also include a story-based version of her latest music video instead of the current production-based version), Jououbachi's new music video for Anime "Koukyuu no Karasu" is interesting and so will the single releasing end of the month (legit don't know the band name so I guess you can call it QUEEN BEE), and we end the line with a slew of new release announcements including Hanazawa Kana's new single in next February in 2023 for an Anime she stars in and I might just end up watching lol, Kitou Akari's birthday fanclub event also revealed not just her next single releasing in February next year, but also the NEXT following single release which are both for Anime. Damn.Β
So for next week, we only have VELTPUNCH's new single for their 25th anniversary goddamn it has been long for them, but also, I will be listening to Nisshoku Natsuko's album from this yearΒ (man, she has been releasing albums yearly?) and see if I can give more stuff from this artist I couldn't stop giving chances to. Hey, if she did impress me even without me remembering her face she HAS got to be good, right? So yeah, more of her and Kana-chan too I guess lol I may just give up on the latter real quick that album for her 25th anniversary ie. birthday, wasn't that great.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KITOU AKARI!!! Haha ah hey what else can I even say about her birthday event today? You saw everything; Two new singles in place for the Anime next year mentioned this early, a new photobook in December which is self-produced featuring her in swimsuits so she is basically Uesaka Sumire but flat *laughs* I'm so sorry dear Akarin everything else about you is *chef's kiss* though, they made a special video for the birthday and solo music career debut day too.. The only thing that can distract me from all this now is that finally all the new package items (required)Β have assembled and I gotta send those out so I can get to see them next week when I'm on leave. For the whole week. *dabs* Eh, my newbie colleague will be alright. *laughs* Cya guys then, and until next time... I truly believe birthdays are for people to relax and enjoy their day and be with family and friends instead of working. *silence* Akarin you are such a godsend we don't deserve half-naked you haha and we're done!!
P.S. Now should I challenge myself again to beat the record of Tomatsu Haruka and wank to Kitou Akari's swimsuit photobook-
