Hmm... is this new title format concise enough? To Blogger it is, I want to support automation so I don't have to fix page URLs because I can't import them in anyways so I hope you like the Seigura-like naming system lol- Oh Rieri's on cover what a coincidence hehe

Speaking of new year, literally started with a bang, no, TWO bangs and not like I banged anyone *wink*, but refer to my Twitter if you are interested in DOAXVV, thanks. *laughs* Still best free-to-play game ever- Well, free-to-ogle, thanks. Well then again, not free I gave them money *giggles* Monica-chan daisuki

Well, I have planned on something and I will deliver, so let's talk about Heike Monogatari "Romantic Killer" I really feel indebted to the former after mentioning it THIS many times and giving it nothing so I'll give the latter and watch a romantic comedy instead!! Haha I'm sorry maybe "Koukyuu no Karasu" was enough

アニメ Romantic Killer

If you would ditch 3 things in your life in exchange for a life of romance, which would you choose? Yes. *laughs*

Wow how should I even talk about this series. Now that I'm done with the marathon many people like to do instead of watch weekly... I don't know where to start. *giggles* But I want to talk about it, as much as Anzu-chan will. So, about this series though (#RomanticKiller) I only started gaining interest by seeing the trailer and knowing who are voicing the main girls until I knew of how much of a romance comedy this would be, and now that I am done with it I can't believe I gave this a chance. Also, please feel bad, Anime producers, for always, and I mean ALWAYS, picking on Takahashi Rie for voicing a boyish voice for this main girl Anzu-chan, but with better reason in this case I believe. This romcom is gag-Anime style based, so jokes tend to drop everywhere in the form of violence as she deals with wizard Lily-chan voiced by Komatsu Mikako of all people, and many a times them doing male voices, so this is rather appropriate just minutes watching the first episode. Speaking of that though, I guess we should talk about the circumstances, right? Every romance series has that. This one might be simple or even common, some wizard appears in Anzu's life telling her to ditch all her necessities in life which are video games (BRUH haha), chocolate which we don't really have to talk about why even though Valentine's Day would be a good reason, and cats for comfort in order to focus on a life of romance. Yes. The life of being surrounded by handsome dudes. Always getting into romance situations at every corner. Please, Anzu, people like us DREAM of such a reality. *laughs* But turns out, it didn't take much to do so. From arranging coincidences like you know, what life is about in general we gotta start somewhere, to bringing in your childhood friend(s) haha, to getting even the rich kids in lol... one has to ponder every single time where the magic (*wink*) is coming from or even whether these are all done by Lily's hands. Here's a hint: Sometimes they are, many a times they aren't. Because more than unlikely, this is not a "okay I will make some handsome dude appear" similar to how Lily eventually had to transform themselves into a dude to date her but *laughs* even breaking Tsukasa's phone was a way to ditch his social life of discrimination; Lily actually finds the right people for the job. Hey, it's a job though, so you gotta make it good, right? That's how they get the bonus, dude. *giggles* (Can we stop with the company jokes though? Not funny to start the year with this- If I don't get this year's bonus I'll change my job lol) Tsukasa bumped onto Anzu to start her off and make her feel bad about breaking someone's phone which you know, considering the guy lives alone on expenses one can't expect him to get another one quickly so yeah it's on her haha. Junta who was once thought made up by Lily through memory manipulation (hehe TYPICAL) turned out to be an actual kid she knew in elementary school. Even Hijiri was set up to give Anzu more options than ever in the ever-changing world she was about to experience. You know, to give her the best experience they can. But Anzu isn't taking any of that. Not that she isn't into romance, because well, like every romance, it takes time. Though not forced, it was certainly set up or even sped up in order to achieve the best/worst case possible depending which side you're on haha Anzu will meet Junta in the future if not for this, but it was never faked. But what was eventually the reality moving forward came in in several forms, I think it was worth watching even for not the laughs. Firstly, friendship. Yes, it's cheesy to even talk about that, but reality check, the bait was never a happy ending. Yep, they did not give you one. I mean, this is not exactly a harem but uh... no? *laughs* So yeah, what was promoted more often than ever was friends. Being together and helping each other out because turns out, Anzu is a great friend in times of need. With her overflowing confidence in helping people around her (yes even taking hits from the stalker *pukes* same Tsukasa, same), she has created a surprisingly lovely social circle with forgiveness and truth to make even jealousy seem like a magic wand in a pile of poop. *giggles* As in a joke, by the way. *laughs* That is probably what drives the series well haha not the poop though, because time and time again we witness flashbacks of Anzu making people happier, let them confront their fears, heck, even saving their lives entirely. And that's the thing people lack. Even me. *silence* Moving on, secondly, how potentially dark the themes can be in this series. I can see that weird pervert of a senpai of Saki-chan but I really did NOT expect a panties thief (lol) let alone a STALKER by the way haha thanks Hikasa Youko we could not have done this without you I apologize for your sacrifice and acting, because being a joke of a series one would expect it to not be this dark, but goddamn, Yukana-san you might need therapy. Or worse. Yikes, this maybe even minikui, more of shota but we will not make that joke for now lol this is truly extreme when it has to. Last but not least as we come full circle, the jokes. The references in this series hit you the best way possible, I swear the author is still stuck in the 2000s haha, but they knew to write stuff relevant to the present time too, so violence and threatening words are just typical I won't even say otherwise since the timing is just *chef's kiss* you will not have wondered what hit you every time. And that, I really can't explain how well it compliments the storytelling. The rapport between Lily and Anzu is just great too, because remember we had to deal with the idea of something being magic? It's that chance that will cause interjections to happen whenever, and that is just icing on this cake to be honest. All in all, this story isn't going to make you love any number of them, because everyone played a part in the storytelling, and that's what I think makes this series work, easily seen by how (almost) all the dudes can help confront two street thugs. The magic isn't going to make you think it's super forced, though at times you would wonder how Tsukasa's apartment got into Anime "Nagi no Asukara" lmao underwater joke. The story is not going to make you satisfied even with the romance premise and all, but I'm sure I will see you in tears. This Anime has everything, dude. It's hard to pinpoint what is bad. And you know, I'm a simp for the female voice cast and that's why I'm here in the first place so... I'm just happy I decided to give this a watch. Definitely makes my neck hurt staring at this all day and it's not because Anzu pulled my shirt collar lmao please do though

[I think I'll put in more images to tell the tale, yes? You're welcome haha images fill my desktop as I write this, maybe I'll choose one per episode so a dozen screencaps let's go TL:DR;]
