Welcome back. I feel like today is not just your typical Sunday where I get sad over work (lol), but suffice it to say it's sadder since I'm going to spend THREE DAYS in the wild from tomorrow so happy birthday dad; I'm glad we didn't decide to have your birthday dinner on Monday lmao

That's the sad stuff dealt with, so let's see if I'll have more sad stuff lest the new shows below disappoint. No, Shiina-san, not you. *giggles*

Note to self: Sign up for TrySail fanclub if ran out of Shiina-san images to use- Dammit. *laughs* (For measure I won't post fanclub digital content. I know some will but)

アニメ Kyokou Suiri

"There's reason that transcends reason..." Ooooh boy here we go again haha

Oh yeah Kotoko-chan I would like to do some suspicious things with you at my place. *wink* In this new episode of a series I didn't expect to see a season two but here we are (#KyokouSuiri13), wow is that a wholesome episode of what is basically a summary of the first season and the series itself. So, in case you have no idea what this is... hmm, in a nutshell it's just like High Court, but you can lie all the way through. *laughs* You have to lie ALL the way though, just like how in this episode we have the manager with a lie about him having a pet that is illegal to raise in Japan. And when I mean all the way, that just means that you have to lie to everyone, including the audience. So, story goes this time around some spirit heard of thumping noises at night and feared of it which, reasonable, it was found out that in the apartment above there was a very suspicious placement of a doll which even the manager feared. Yep, in case you have been reading the above very carefully, you might be thinking I'm contradicting myself, and that's the whole point: Kotoko-chan essentially the spiritual medium and ruler between worlds, is supposed to appease her fellow spirits with utmost reasoning and logic. In this case, she lied about the doll existing even though that's the truth we will talk about getting rid of that later, but instead covered it with the manager having some weird kink of rearing a kodomo dragon or something. *laughs* Hey, which story is spicier, right? *giggles* Also, because the manager would be the only one responsible, they can say whatever they want about him. Well, unless the spirit itself dared to go find out the truth itself, of which it didn't, which brings us to the truth. After leaving the spirits behind, her boyfriend/buddy/contract Kuro-senpai then mentioned about the idea of not telling the truth behind the discovery of the doll, and created a lie based on the manager. So here we go, it's upon these levels of lies if you have watched season one you would know of the Steel Lady (umph Sumipe haha) and Kotoko had to put layers of lies to let the Internet community come to some conclusion so the supporters of the demon would cease and it can be more easily taken down. Not that it's a problem here, but considering that is a doll which is a cursed seal meant to... uh, kill nearby spirits, that thing should be glad it didn't decide to investigate the apartment above. Which brings us to the second half of the episode, the fight. The gang of spirits talked about the beauty of Kotoko-chan (haha she cute) but also, the monster that is Kuro-senpai. So, for some background, he came from a family of people who eats weird food so yeah my place too haha, and got fed as a kid, a kudan (defined as a human-faced bovine, ugh) and a mermaid. He survived the ordeal of the mythical powers of consuming the two types of meat, so he gained the power of future sight AND immortality, making him basically invincible but also, looking worse than me as a human if you are in the spiritual world. *laughs* Meaning that, as long as he can see a future of him not dying, he can cling on to it, sacrifice his mermaid body which won't kill him, and be revived instantly. Of course time is a major factor in achieving that feat so let's hope that doesn't get him this season. *wink* All in all, great way to bring us back in, I really thought they will touch on the romance parts a bit too but that's fine I hope your motivation to watch that isn't clingy Kotoko-chan because it is mine. *laughs* Other than that, we see a cast of new characters from the opening animation, we know one of them will be voiced by Yuuki Aoi... and that's all I know. We shall see how well this season holds up, just like Kotoko's logic and reasoning...?

P.S. "(Kotoko) is elegance and beauty defined." My top reason for watching this Anime haha is that ayakashi me? *laughs*

アニメ Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai

"I have less presence than other people" DUDE THAT IS ME haha

Wow, okay dude, you might be even more cringe than me. *laughs* Well, after having a girl who notices you? I don't think so bro your life is changing right now. In this first episode of a series where deja vu is merely an opinion (#KuboSan01), I don't think we can understand mobs here lol it's not what you think they are, so maybe Calefare might be more of a familiar term. No? Oh, it's a Singapore only thing? Oops, what have I done. *laughs* Hey, ignore me when I say stuff you don't care because no one cares which is the motif of this blog anyways lol, we talk about being invisible. And I don't mean by having a superpower, no, this is just your typical romance slice-of-life Anime, not fantasy or supernatural elements. It's just that Shiraishi here has a human problem. Unlike Komi-san who can't communicate, this guy can, and this is HIS ONLY WAY of being noticed by people. Yeah, it's as if he is invisible, is the shtick of this series. Ironically though, as you can see by the intro of this episode, 1x Kubo Nagisa noticed him. Obviously being the opposite of him, popular and smart and everything, I still can't make it why this girl would see him more than twice a year given Shiraishi's reputation of being so background it's like dealing with the CSS background style attribute with a screen reader BOOM programming joke. *dabs* Nonetheless, the quest to figuring out how far Shiraishi has to do to be noticed by... damn even camera AI, sounds like a good challenge for Kubo-san already. For the dude, it's just a juggle between the consequences of not listening to Kubo-san and the real threat of actually getting noticed in class even though the reality is likely that both won't get him any attention whatsoever. Get it? That's the joke. Basically no risk, better than trust bonds. *laughs* Or maybe it's the other away around how did the teacher who looks like Ao-chan's perv author dad know? *giggles* Anyways, the rules of this "showdown" is more like an experiment, really, and following a give and take rule set by Kubo-san every time, Shiraishi is just dragged into her world where she takes her advances on, spoiler alert, the guy she likes, one step at a time. Hey, she saw him already; That's more than just a first step. *laughs* I mean, not talking and avoid being seen is one thing, this guy managed to avoid everyone besides the one girl who will give a damn about him. Hey, tell me not being attractive is also one of his virtues. Like, people think seeing him is good luck but have you guys ever thought of chatting him up though? *silence* Well, at least he got his manga and video games with him. Welp. I wonder if anyone will notice him if he hangs out on forums or online chat. *laughs* I mean, I've got noticed just from a livestream in months so I wonder what are his odds. *giggles* Maybe that's why, maybe, taking a selfie with the most popular student in class will be that much more exciting, above everything else. And just this, I think, is already making this series worth a watch. I will have to swallow up the theme songs though, maybe I'll go with Kana-chan first as opening I guess, who also voices the main girl. (Hanazawa Kana of course, married woman voicing a JK lol cringe) All in all... hmm I think we have enough hints as to what will happen of this relationship in school compared to the other one I watched last week. *wink* Not a bad idea after all considering even Shiraishi will also make jokes about himself haha, still could not get around anything this Kubo-san wants of him... but as she said, she's all filled up. See, Takagi-san is the one having fulfilment issues, okay? This girl knows what she's doing. *giggles* And if ignoring everything else about potential romance, Shiraishi, why not take this chance to gain a friend? She'll definitely notice you more than your mom haha why I can already imagine the wedding photos of only the bride BRO YOU GOTTA DRESS UP AS A CLOWN NO BLACK SUIT FOR YOU lol more jokes next week I guess

P.S. Did you see the opening animation with all the Kubo-san cosplay?? I'M IN lol I'm easy also Shiraishi he said "soft" twice when he got sat on lmao don't think I didn't notice that *laughs*

P.P.S. Mom? I'm back home?? MOM??? CAN YOU NOT!?? Haha I will now treasure replies from my parents when I reach home

[And I can't get enough of Kubo-san so here's a montage haha]

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs

"A detective needs some level of protection" Yeah Fukuzawa what happened

Man, maybe Ranpo-san can't appreciate the art of... well, anything. *laughs* Unless it's straightforward? Man, you allergic to entertainment, bro? *laughs* So yeah, in the new episode where us idiots uncover the truth lol (#BungouStrayDogs39), according to Ranpo-san even at the start of this series, he "has the ability" to find out the truth. Well, this is now accented by the fact that Fukuzawa had to tell him about who he is, basically. Also, because he's young and easy to deceive? *laughs* Hey, we gotta hit him on a lie somehow to make this work, so why not? Now that we got this out of the way, maybe we can talk about the actual threat that is going to happen in the play, shall we? So, story. Sorry if I had to take quotes from Ranpo-san himself, but since he did it so well I might as well take a leaf from him since I'm such an IDIOT- This play is about reversal of roles. About humans versus angels, and how that will change around. The main guy we have seen last week is the leader of this... fictional cult? Yeah, and of course, is on the precipice of revealing the reversal of roles for the play itself, you know, angels getting their vengeance and killing humans and stuff blah blah. Problem is, Ranpo-san is just rattling this in the theatre floor where people paid tickets to watch and that's kinda bad for PR, so Fukuzawa decided to give him an illusion he can deal with: By telling him his detective powers were an Ability. Maybe that's how Ability users and the term came about which will be interesting to talk about with respect to current timeline, but let's leave it at that we are still in a flashback. *giggles* Seeing as Ranpo-san is a kid and he knows better to believe in that lie of a truth, he took it upon himself to BE the greatest detective of all time since you know, technically he is since we are all idiots in his mind now. *laughs* Anyways, the murder happened, people were shocked to see that it is "real", and in the second half of the play Ranpo set out to reveal the people involved in this supposed crime. Turns out, it's just the main actor wanting to show how real death can be to the audience, but of course his fans probably mostly female in demographics are already shocked by his fake death even, drinking that much water after being drawn of fresh blood won't help make any of us forget about that fact. Yeah, technically a psycho, dude. *laughs* Actor, my a**, and shout out to the first ever movie which showed faeces on camera too. Epitome of acting and drama, but probably why we have age ratings today. So long story short, Ranpo-san was great he figured everything out even those people who think he's a genius didn't know he is just smart and not Ability user lol, STILL did not figure out how the playwright who cooperated with the main actor was actually killed in his writing room. Yeah. Remember there was supposed to be a murder? Happened now. *cringe* All in all... man we are not done yet, ladies and gentlemen. We now know that arresting someone who might be interfering with this play might yet create another problem, and as Ranpo-san sits in the police car with an overenthusiastic policeman... you can see where this goes, yeah. He won't die, no, but let's see if ANYONE will believe this dude is an Ability user and that he is worth getting rid of. Haha see you then I'm so stupid I need to watch this again to understand if I did this write up correctly lol

P.S. "Would a baby who can't hold its head up ever despise another?" Hmm, don't quite get it, but great point.

P.P.S. "They are called "Ability Users"" Bro this is a play, you can't say that haha

Now that we are done with fake angels, next up... *laughs* *dabs*

アニメ Otonari no Tenshi-sama ni Itsunomanika Dame Ningen ni Sareteita Ken

"If looking good is all it takes for other people to develop feelings, then shouldn't you develop feelings for me?" That's true dear girl we are halfway there already lol

Man, we went from "are you okay" last week to "what the f are you doing here" lol that attitude needs to change, bro. *laughs* In this new episode of angels who kill but through cuteness hehe (#OtonariNoTenshiSama02),  I guess we starting off with another stoning at the park. *giggles* Please, not smoking, as in, sitting there. Really trying to pretend, huh, this girl. Like, even when some acquaintance comes by? You won't ask for help? If I sprained my leg even if it's not for saving a cat from a tree haha, and someone I know passed by? I would still ask for some help. Or worst case, limp my way home to be honest but heck, the guy figured it out. Sasuga Amane-kun, still best ikemen in this series that prince from the other class in school can go kill himself. *laughs* Sadly I hardly knew how to treat injuries considering I only scraped my knee the one time I went cycling with my family and my sis had to help me so I'm already screwed and doomed to be alone forever. *sob* Anyways haha, Amane sacrificed his sweatpants for school for such a gentlemanly deed, so clap hands for him, dude. Girls, find some guy who will keep your house clean, okay? Not this one here haha *dabs* We got reminded of it again after Shiina came in (HELL YEAH lol) with the thanks and usual dinner leftovers lol, but Amane thought eating freshly cooked will be great because maybe he missed the cooking back home? I mean, who doesn't? *points at self* Yeah, say it in front of the girl, dude. That's how you get to go to her place you can get her to come to your place to cook??? Okay, normally this stuff happens only 6 episodes in and we are already doing it? Sure dude, they have no feelings for each other- It's like hiring a cook, bro. She's not your prospective wife or whatsoever. *giggles* I might be considering the prospects of Iwami Manaka being a wife already so don't mind me. Guy gets jealous of friend's girlfriend because yeah we can all do with a partner at some point *silence* still did not get more than a relationship with a neighbour who has been cooking for you and actually noticed you because you rank in the tops in school? Hey Amane, say dropping that student ID card was a mistake. Why did they even print birthdays on that though? *laughs* Amane then realized you know, gotta do a hired classmate and neighbour a favour (lmao) and treat her to something, but not like he has all the experience buying gifts for friends I bet he doesn't even for his bro right here haha I did it so I'm better than him *dabs*, instead asked the bro's girlfriend to help. Well, burning a lot of money in the process he gotta bribe all of them first. But turns out, Shiina liked the gifts, so all is well, excuse me, mission complete. *giggles* All in all... I think I know why I said I can't clap last week. It's because I need it to play half the speed so I can savour all of this not dating stuff and THEN do the clapping. *laughs* It's that good. You know how Amane says he has to say how good the food is as he eats? This is the same with my opinion of this series so far just that I can only talk about the girl. *giggles* Ah hey, I'm not interested in dudes I'm a hetero male just so you know. *laughs* Listening to the ending song and then realizing it's a cover song from MONGOL800 I'm like how is that old dude writing songs for Anime now lol, and many more coming our way considering this isn't Iwami-san's first cover song for Anime hehe been there too previously for Anime "Tada-kun", it looks like this whole thing is progressing as slowly as it is smoothly, and I kind of like that actually. Will whatever Shiina-san say come true for their relationship eventually? Will any of their actions hit each other as love-inducing? I think we are starting with the guy first, actually. Then maybe we will deal with the blockhead of a girl haha oh well we have episodes to go through so we can wait we got Teresa-san laid 6 years ago already this is just history repeating itself lmao

[TL:DR; I can't wait for this girl to be so clingy with the guy I can't even HAHAHAHA didn't eat a kudan btw]

P.S. "Take off your tights and let me see your foot" I promise you Yomu-sensei is at a corner gyrating right now I can't even *laughs* Not a porno by the way haha

P.P.S. "Well, I'll show Shiina-san what I'm made of!" Dude you can't say that, it's reserved for fans- Oh dammit selfie huh haha we need to be careful we have added a lot already we still have 10 weeks and her blog isn't a photo gallery so... remind me if I miss one of them without an image, thanks. Sorry for repeats though I won't remember by next week also

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

This week in Klassic Note... I mean, we are only on the 2nd week of actual listening to songs so... I did give Hitsujibungaku's EP from 2017 though but I did find some interest in indie them more than major label them somehow, and instead of the one I heard of in the YouTube video mentioned last week, I ended up giving other songs in the release. See? Mood affects music reviews, people. I was sadder that week. *silence* Other than that, I did listen to Gotch's new song which is a collaboration apparently but I'm just kinda annoyed by the excessive low-pitched... rap? Yeah, so we'll see if this can survive next week before I add it in. 

Well, new time for music on Twitter! I think after that two week drop this one will be shorter, I promise. *giggles* Kroi's new music video for their digital single is very meh I guess I'm just not into their quirky style after all, we might be done with them already. KaroeRana's new music video for Anime "Kyokou Suiri" is definitely interesting in itself considering the last time I heard of her was a love song. It'll carry the Anime series, I'm at least confident of that. Taketatsu Ayana's new music video is definitely disappointing on the song side but then again why does the video feature a kid is beyond my comprehension, so remind me to reset my brain when the single drops in March. Nostalgia drops from Tsuji Shion and RYTHEM in ASMR apparently so if you are keen to walk back a decade please help yourself. Otherwise, you should watch Hanazawa Kana's new music video for Anime "Kubo-san" which I gotta say despite companion composer Kitagawa-san at the helm did not make this any better than Anison fare so give me a couple of weeks and I'll see if it's this for DIALOGUE+'s new music video that I have to give in March. *ugh* mol-74's new song will drop next week in case you aren't aware, and will symbolize their move into an independent label. Fuchigami Mai's new music video is great not because of just the song itself but it's as if this half past 30-year-old has gotten a boyfriend and it's funny to me haha we should not laugh at others. TrySail's new song is for Anime once again and I wonder when it will not be. miwa's new song will be out next week which was for her upcoming Valentine's Day concept EP, aptly titled "14th February" because you know. And last but not least SIX LOUNGE's new music video isn't too bad it is for Anime anyways so my expectations will drop but it's still very them so it's fine by me. And finally, hot off the press, Minase Inori will release her new single in April along with her recent live tour I guess, but it looks like some Anime level stuff already so wee shall see then if that is true.

So next week... next week... *laughs* So yeah, nothing much next week so I'll be in the search for not this season's Anime theme songs I hope, maybe more Hitsujibungaku depending on my mood... starting tomorrow can we just move on? *sob*




How you like my intertwined Anime references this week, eh? *laughs* Yeah, maybe should avoid that a little more we should walk in fresh-minded so we can have a better opinion of Anime without knowing that Itou Miku is somewhere in there. *giggles* First time, by the way, we all have our first times. *laughs* Okay I gotta go I don't want to publish this blog post in camp. *silence* See you guys then, and until next time... let's just hope I will be happier by then- Didn't you promise yourself, me, that 2023 will be happier? We are already failing not even one month in dude I truly hope the upcoming photobook reviews will compensate- I even found a game Dorfromantik to play yesterday and I CANNOT EVEN PLAY IT NOW!!! WHAT THE F-
