Wow this is quite the weekend, huh? My fingers are now in trouble specifically typing with my right hand because now my middle finger is giving me the middle finger lol (okay maybe the tip is still fine), so don't ask how long I took to just write up the new Anime season preview!! Haha yes new shows are coming in and I want it to be like 2012 where I watch music and mystery genres which is impossible so... more romance shows I guess!! lol

Man, really should stop trauma dumping in these weekly posts, they start the tension dude but not in anyone's crotch- Maybe I should write shorter this time haha. If I can't type faster than what I think, then I can't write long. *silence* That's a nice logic actually maybe I should get my fingers chopped off-

More disgusting boils on my fingers, and watching the new Resident Evil 4 Remake playthrough, only on the weekly Anime and music blog!! Haha is that a good tagline or maybe I should talk about AnimeJapan instead?

アニメ Winter 2023 Anime Preview

[Powered by Random Curiosity]

It's that time of the year again where I dunk on new Anime I haven't seen before lol, so let's see if I can find something different to watch in the new year's offerings because this past season doesn't count:

[As usual, premiere dates means will give it a minimum 1 episode watch, in Japan simulcast order]

(As always, sequels I will skip so don't ask about whatever Anime sequel unless I know of them. Then again, to know what I know and watched, refer to my MyAnimeList profile. *giggles*)
Wow "Jigokuraku" sounds like something interesting and can last 20 seasons (lol) but I'm not that interested in that and also if they don't have special powers and it's actual sword fighting like it's the actual Edo period instead will make this more appealing to me, so no thanks.
Okay anything with gamer bullsh*t is out for me so no for "Yamada-kun" haha
Should I even give a chance to "Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu"? The only thing bothering me apart from the main guy being a killer is just the looks, dude. You can NOT look worse than me, that's my right as an Anime audience. *laughs* Also, really done with romance series already so let me think about it.
Haha "My Home Hero" just sounds like "Kakushigoto" but this involves not telling the daughter that your dad killed your boyfriend. *silence* CRINGE lmao jokes aside though, too much blood also because no shit we are killing someone from a gang this dad is asking for trouble already (Note to self: Go find the opening theme song haha)
"Tensei Kizoku" your title is too long so I'm moving on lol
Oh I've heard of Waki Azumi talk about the same-word four-time title "Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear Punch!" and you bet I don't give a damn because video games again dude (and if you are keen on the title, the four times are written differently with same definition; in Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji, and Katakana but pronounced in English)
Ah yes my bro is into the sequel of that Isekai smartphone Anime so I hope you are too- NOPE. *laughs*
Hmm "Skip & Loafer" [Premieres April 4th, 2023] seems to me to be more of a high school slice-of-life than a romance series because you know, breeding the relationship sprouts is way better than whatever girl lands on you or childhood friend storyline. Hey, it always seems that way, huh. Yeah also the guy looks better haha hey we can give the not most attractive girl a chance. With Kurosawa Tomoyo as main girl this really feels like "JoshiMuda" but the main girl is better lmao
Ah I've actually been thinking about whether I should be watching "Kubo-san wa Mobu wo Yurusanai" [Premieres April 4th, 2023] because what more better of a romance series where Hanazawa Kana (married, by the way) keeps disturbing you into loving her- Deja vu? Don't be too surprised; I copied the one from previous season lol so yeah, will come back to it where I left off so don't be shocked to not see this in next week's weekly post since I don't intend to copy 6 episodes of comments here haha
Yeah basically "Kawaisugi Crisis" is just some girl who wants to destroy the planet and won't because of cats. *laughs* Hey, to each its own, yes?
Yup finally our sequel bait haha "Tonikaku Kawaii" [Premieres April 7th, 2023] is finally back with another season and will likely feature the perfect wife ~~Kitou Akari~~ Yuzaki Tsukasa and her horrible past you don't want to know of, and Yuzaki Nasa the husband who already got laid when I started watching Anime and is probably a better programmer than I do. *silence* I'll just watch when it comes out in a couple of weeks lol the theme songs are once again going to be hard to give, no surprises there.
Should I care about heavenly series "Megami no Cafe Terrace"? I don't know, I feel like the hate of the grandmother who left the café to the main guy will fade away real quick with the ecchi scenes and the idea of living with 5 girls (WOAH) will probably get my bro more interested in this than I do lol
Now that I think about it, yeah "Edomae Elf" is basically "Kannagi" because the god also just plays around (literally, with video games) but then once in a while fulfils peoples' wishes but I suppose this doesn't have the latter's dark story in potential but I may be wrong, don't think I will want to find out though.
Hey what if I told you that instead of an angel we have an alien?? In "Otonari no Ginga" that seems to be the case, and boy, RE-MARRIAGE?? Hey the stepmother is attractive af so what's the problem, younger than middle school kids? *laughs* I thought I may be able to watch this but what is with the kids' voicing? Oh hey Naganawa Maria as the son haha we were so close, so close.
Remember the last time we had a girl play a violin and she's dead? NO MORE SADNESS lol okay "Ao no Orchestra" isn't like this I don't think. This is a group performance so at least we won't let someone play alone on stage *silence*
Wow okay "Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia" [Premieres April 10th, 2023] actually made me want to watch romance series this season again. *giggles* I've heard of this, but seeing that this is going to be a series to touch hearts of a couple *wink* of students who share the same problems in the first place and wanting to fix them, I can't help but want to see them progress in their lives as well as them, with each other. I'll take a look for an episode or two.
"The Marginal Service" sounds like something I dreamt of if I'm super tired and reached home to immediately go to sleep at 3am lmao so nope
"Oshi no Ko" has such a great cast with Rieri and RumiRumi I should just watch it and- NOPE NOPE haha

Oh wow we are finally done that is a very long list of shows I won't be watching. *laughs* Yeah, no surprises, still ending up with romance series for the upcoming season. Well, good luck to me picking up anything else in my future of Anime lol

アニメ Kyokou Suiri

"So, we have already made it this far, huh" Yeah Kotoko-chan no shit we are 23 episodes in

Okay Kotoko-chan had the spirits keep watch on the guy, that's... kinda cheating dude. *laughs* In the plot twist of plot twist events because we are not done yet and Kotoko doesn't want this to end wrong (#KyokouSuiri23), she reveals the real killer. Spoiler alert, it's not the old man, or the fox spirit he ordered to kill his own wife. There's a lot more to digest here, so in case you are not prepared please leave now... the killer is Kaoruko, the only daughter in the Otonashi family. So turns out wink wink, Kotoko suspected the fox's statement which then led her to find out the actual killer was not the fox because someone already did it beforehand, a real human. And guess what, the husband only knew of it 23 years later. YUP! You've been living with a murderer all this time, dude. Happy now? *laughs* Maybe the mom IS right. *laughs* But not really the problem wasn't the guy, your daughter is also kinda screwed up lol. Anyways, so in summary, the way it happened was that Sumi-san the old woman was confronted by Kaoruko her own daughter, got stabbed in silence, and dropped to the ground with her wallet empty as if it was an attempted burglary. Then the fox standing by came in, disguised as a dog because good guess on why he didn't choose to transform into a human which clearly will make things harder haha okay bro blame the dogs for everything I guess, then ended up not killing anyone, but decided to give the killer an alibi because the killer of all genders was female and we has to make it male so you know, we can avoid saying stuff like this in International Women's Month. *silence* Moving on haha yes the fox was ordered to not implicate the kids of the deed, but that's all actually. Yeah and they DARE to ask for the largest portion of the inheritance, by the way?? *laughs* Irony can't describe this case anymore, dude. The old man did not take this too well but in some sense it's also his own sin for thinking his belief in he did the deed is also having its own consequences just like the daughter did soon after *sigh*, still isn't doing as bad as Kaoruko's husband here who WOAH WOAH WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GUN FROM?? Uh... relax! But yeah, and that's why Kuro-san was here, to give all of them a warning in fact, of not dealing with people who know of the supernatural. Speaking of that, and Rion you are not exactly wrong but Kotoko-chan is still human though, she just rules all of the spiritual world haha, and we have mention of Rikka-san. Yeah, and that's why we are even here to be honest, I was waiting for that drop to happen at some point, and here it is. Because if you wonder how Otonashi the old man knew of Kotoko-chan so easily considering who she is, it's because Rikka-san introduced them to him. Uh oh, sounds like a trap to have taken this offer then, but apparently it's more of to show Kuro-san how potentially evil this girl in front of him is? I means Kotoko haha. Hmm... I gotta say, if this is onset to next season, I'm kind of in actually! Seeing Kuro worry about Kotoko-chan not just as his girlfriend lol but about her bullsh*tting skills lmao, one would actually think if she is worse off than the cousin. *silence* Wait. *laughs* Uh oh, this is as spicy as it gets I think? We still have another episode to go, the last one, so let's see if they are reeeaaally trying to set this up. I don't think so though, if you would recall the first episode of this series. Well, we got next week to find out.

[TL:DR; Hmm..... *laughs*]

MFW Sunday is almost over also Saturday is technically my only day off for the week and I went to see the doctor

P.S. "My plan was to turn into a stray dog..." Wrong Anime, Fubuki. *laughs*

P.P.S. "She was beautiful, but she seemed clearly inhuman to me" Me when I see girls on the streets lol it's globalization dude how would I know if a local here isn't a China-

アニメ Bungou Stray Dogs

"What are you looking at? I will kill you!" Hey, if this is a romance series I'll be fine with this but not this one lol

Oh wow we have a Hunting Dogs season now? Why not call it "Hunting Stray Dogs", eh?? *dabs* Pretend I didn't say that. *laughs* In this new episode where I wrote no notes so we are doing memory tests now just like Sigma apparently (#BungouStrayDogs49), we proceed on the first attack back on the Angels of Death. Thanks to ~~Kana-chan~~ Margaret's Ability haha never fail me on the shame girl that is my fuel now, the ~~terrorists~~ Detective Agency have taken themselves to the Sky Casino which ironically has a past no one will care about haha we will see how we should not even care at all to be frank, and the Hunting Dogs want a take on these bad guys, trying to find out where they would hide and of course, getting information from the café owner from the building the Agency resided. Sensitive guy went with the interrogation procedure lol he likely almost got it but thank goodness we didn't witness a murder and I guess killing the guy isn't a good option, so sword guy literally pleaded for the info. *laughs* What a stark contrast in work approach but hey not like I will bow down to my clients unless I'm Japanese which I'm not lol don't narc, Tachihara and that girl (lmao) were sent to the Casino to deal with them. Yes, deal with Sigma, who the heck wants Atsushi and Margaret dead anyways? They look like a great couple- Shout out to the time they were naked together. *laughs* Okay coming back, because that the two Hunting are actually here to find suspects and Sigma refuses to shut down the casino to let them do so which I assume it's just for operation purposes considering this is international ground and laws don't apply here, are probably not known of the fact that Sigma is running illegal operations here in orders of the Angels, to specifically cause worldwide terrorism exchanging coins to ones that will explode after it has spread around the world. Hey, Fyodor? This is not going to work, I go cashless. *laughs* Okay I guess I do have some coins on my wallet, but I'm going to suspect that USA will take the smallest hit because they only have dollar notes and can't embrace anything other than nickels. *dabs* Hey, who said America did not prepare for the next world war? *laughs* Ironically, Sigma is dealing with the wrong people, as Tachihara survived the blast from the coin he found in a secret safe in one of the rooms which as expected Atsushi led them to so do they know about Tachihara being a spy for Port Mafia? Haha whatever this is not the point, the guy survived because metal manipulation, and anything bigger than an airplane I assume the girl when transformed into her larger-sized self (ironically didn't look more attractive lmao HIT ME) will be able to deal with. Maybe, she's bleeding out a bit. Either way, all under Dazai's plan as they seek to take over the place and Sigma is desperately fighting back as much as possible, calling on the customers who will dare to fight against these two to take on them. I say that because remember the guy remembers all the customer info? That's how he uses them to his advantage. The Hunting Dogs can't retaliate against innocents. Guess Sigma is using this tactic for now. What other ideas he has on his sleeve to protect this casino? Your guess is as good as mine. *silence* You want my take on this? Well I'm going to call out on a few things first then. Firstly, the Hunting Dogs will win, all will go according to Dazai's plan. But not smoothly. But it will happen, taking over the casino. Next, Sigma is not anything, even at all. Sigma, the now to us 3rd member of the Angels, is likely just a creation. Amnesia might not even be the point, or be part of it. Remember the pages that were left by that one Ability user who died which we are pursuing the last page of? This guy was written onto it, apparently along with the casino as Fyodor mentioned. So yeah, don't be too surprised that he might still be as weak as he is unless they wrote him as an Ability user with more than what Dazai explained (the trading thing) which will really last a while considering now we know what is happening already. Boy, I'm liking this one, guess we don't need new shows after all haha see you then

Just a bunch of old guys bein' dudes!! Haha in an interrogation room though

P.S. "The most terrifying thing of all, is a mediocre man who is desperate." Uh... hey cops? I may be mediocre but I'm not desperate. Arrest my bro instead he desperate for a lifetime partner he will do ANYTHING lol

P.P.S. "Your gambling losses will be erased. You'll earn 100k dollars for any injury inflicted to them, 1 million dollars if you kill them" Hey this all sounds real cool until you realize you are just earning a bigger bomb lmao ah hey how ironic isn't it? *laughs* Uh, just erase my losses will do haha

[I clipped too much of kid grow up cutie Teruko so here's more of her lol]

When I want to go out with her and her dad insists on joining in haha

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

"I see someone very special in you. Someone very cute" Hey girl that's my line! Ah-

Oh. OH!!! *laughs* Ah hey, if your realized that intro just for a moment, you are not alone. *giggles* In this final episode which hey I think they just did what I wanted them to do (#OtonariNoTenshiSama12), is that a kiss? ALREADY?? *laughs* Okay. Say that is a joke, Mahiru. *laughs* And so we are at the last stretch. And as they are at during the sports event, it really feels like, as Amane has mentioned, that everything else has been set up to let him know about his feelings for the girl. Maybe we start with explaining that. For starters, Mahiru probably found out that he is playing scavenger hunt with her too, likely on opposing teams. Then, no surprises there once you heard that Chitose is hosting this segment, Mahiru likely asked for her slip of paper to write what she wants to convey to the guy. And lastly, just picking him up will not be too hard since it's a race and he's in the ground. Literally picking him up, but that's for later haha, it's for the description of "a person I treasure" which of course, saying this in front of the class or even school will get plenty of guys livid, but I guess Mahiru did expect this to happen, and thus argued with the guys on the lack of their taste in relationships, citing the obvious of not knowing people enough, and to also find out how caring of a person Amane is? And how Mahiru is just adorable beyond hope she needs to be protected? Hey, the "must protect" thing is real after all, dude. Just that the girl took action earlier than he will EVER. *laughs* Again, can understand as they sit down together in the final part lol, that Amane is not just apprehensive in liking the girl that is in front of him not because he has to stay gentleman and not have erotic thoughts because who doesn't want to bang a cute girl in high school haha ah, but also, that his past is getting in his way. Trusting people, that is. Yet this ten levels higher of an angel dropped down on him and spoil him useless (title drop) beyond all doubt, to even make him think on whether it is okay to like such a perfect girl like Shiina Mahiru. And boy, did his worries get resolved. The checkpoints have been clear, sir. You can now legally... go steady with the girl now that the class will be over with this and all the Amane and Mahiru fanclubs will shut down all over the class and everything. *laughs* All in all... wow. Just wow. Hey, at least they gave a strong drop at the end, bringing us back to the title. I honestly did not expect anything out of this series to conclude since friends forever lmao, but boy did they make sure I remember that is not the case. It's the feeling of caring for someone important, dude. It's easier to say than do though, if you have someone you care about you will understand that, but for losers like me and those bunch of guys in class, we are probably just hoping for something beautiful to happen at some point. Not that it's a problem, but to do and experience all this... maybe it's not that easy after all. As a joke though, I'm just glad Amane isn't dead in his apartment from all the jealousy he's getting from those other guys. *laughs* Or yeah, history repeat himself from middle school. Well, he has friends who are cooler than him, he has some girl who will care for his stomach to say the least, and he has motivation to care for her now. What more can you want of this story? NOW we can call this romance series Jesus Christ we had to wait this long. *laughs* Very excruciating but satisfying process though, don't you think?

[TL:DR; "I guess people can change when they meet someone they really care about" Still thinking about that, to be honest. Or not. Whatever. *giggles*]

EXPECTATION
(Friend hug, right??)

P.S. "The next time you say something like this, I'll shut your mouth without the hand" Oh yeah, boy? What'cha using? Your di- And that's why I will never get laid lol

P.P.S. "I mean, if I were better looking, I could be more confident that she likes me" HEY FUJIMIYA AMANE YOU KNOW WHAT F**K YOU DUDE!! YOU TRYING TO SHIT ON ALL THE GUYS IN THIS WORLD?? Chill, me. *laughs*
[Now that I think about this and how it relates to my life, even if we are not talking about women (lol) I wonder if I've actually cared so much of something after all. Yeah, Klassic Note might be my escape from my supposed attempts back then as a kid, but even so I don't think I cared for this music library project enough, not even to their extent I would say, so I don't think I will do better even if I have found the woman of my life. Thinking about this series is making me cringe so maybe I should've stopped watching this after all haha I hate normies]

"Rich ice cream" that's the name of my c-

音楽 This Week on Klassic Note

Hmm this week's releases aren't impressive, so I'll go through them quick. Fujifabric's collaboration song with frederic (apparently it's their credit first, I thought it's the reverse) revealed at the latter band's live is so hype I highly doubt it'll change my impression for the releases this week which is likely what happened for the week summarized. Then again, I don't think Amamiya Sora's 1st EP with her own composed songs produced in Kayoukyoku genre appealing to anyone's tastes besides my parents or even her parents lol this is the basis of J-Pop, they say. Also, SIX LOUNGE's new single sadly will not be on my shelf anytime soon, I did not give the B-side anyways, sorry to say. I didn't give it in the livestream they did a month ago, did not really change my mind this time around too. Maybe next time, fellas.

Well I think my Twitter feed has been longer for the week mainly because I tweeted a lot and not because freaking Twitter Blue is covering my menu lol. Anyways, I tweeted a lot about SID music video archive on YouTube so be sure check in on the songs I like and you don't lol I don't talk about those anyways just so you know. Now that I've watched Minase Inori's recent live digest I think I might just give a couple of songs a listen again from the album last year considering I picked up only the one topic song and it isn't even that good. *silence* Hey, now is a different time maybe we can give second chance. Also, if anyone figured out Inorin's new music video teaser please do explain to me lol. Sounds like an interesting song though. The re-recordings of SunSet Swish's two most popular songs are so popular for them, they are also re-releasing music videos of those two songs and this one for "BLEACH" is already better than the original video so be sure to check out the other one for "Code Geass" next week. Yeah, don't ask me how I know of that song, by the way. It was a 2008 coincidence you don't even know. *giggles* Ryokuoushoku Shakai's new song is for their upcoming album due in May and it doesn't sound too bad I will be happy to listen to them again in two months. Again this is a trend so welcome SCANDAL's music video from 2015 because why not they did not upload the full one years ago and aren't smart enough to do whatever MusicRay'n did with their TrySail talents' music videos and substitute with a full one from the short. *laughs* THE ORAL CIGARETTES' new music video was for a song they released a month ago so I don't know if this will make me like it again the first impression was already a meh. Even if I listened to this not in bed, I'm still pretty baffled by SPECIAL OTHERS' new song for the month if you don't recall they are releasing one song every month leading up to their album in October. I'm not going to wake up early for this song though haha. We are finally back with nasuo's new single due in July as ending theme for Anime "Shinigami Bocchan" season two just announced and you should've seen how they delivered it to her haha yep she delivered the news to us alright but she wasn't aware of what she was reading off either. If you remember her name she wrote and sang Anime "Shikimori-san" opening theme last year. miwa's new song will be on digital next week in case you are interested to get into her again she is singing this time around for a TV variety series. And last but not least, we got some Toyota Moe's solo debut mini-album cover art to share! That's all though, we aren't full on in this just yet, just a tease, just as idols always do.

So next week. Yeah, next week we have some Kroi's new mini-album to listen to, some occult style Hip-Hop if I ever get them again we shall see I hardly did last year anyways to even justify them to be on the ranks, and I highly doubt this will change everything, but never hurts to give them chance on a low release week. Or maybe I'll take a listen to Minase Inori's album from last year again, give her another chance as mentioned in the previous paragraph.

Maybe we conclude this week's post with some talk from AnimeJapan event in... Japan haha it's their yearly end of March thing to talk about Anime present and future to be honest, maybe past I guess "Lycoris Recoil" was there too. I can only watch the livestreams the various studios did on YouTube so it was a mess to find out where all of them are, so I had to see them through my Twitter feed based on the Anime I follow on Twitter. Yes, official Twitter, bro, what do you know about those. *giggles* For yesterday, I missed the "KanoKari" event to listen in to "KanoKano" event where they played some summer mini-games which probably is for the better after watching back the former which aired on the same time slot haha also likely because at this point the former's 5th girl of the harem (lmao) is losing to the 5th girl of the latter because Koga Aoi as imouto, dude. *laughs* I also tuned in to "Shinigami Bocchan" event right after the one and learnt once again about how real Inorin is including her drinking black coffee. BRUH. *laughs* No wonder she was so skinny in that live trailer lol. See you guys again once more, and until next time... I don't know, go watch people play video games or something the new RE:4 remake is great to watch if it doesn't remind me of the whatever warts that might be growing on the middle finger of my right hand. *silence* Okay I better stop typing and see a doctor soon- Adios! Haha
