Haha you want me to put "FINAL" on the title just like every other YouTube video gameplay series?? NO. *laughs*

Well this is also not the final post nothing is final until I actually stop blogging but I will never, but in case you haven't heard, I'm doing another major refresh, contrary to what I said last year. *silence* I will properly conclude this later tonight if you guys don't mind, since this transition coincidentally happens on a Sunday too? I have plenty of stuff lined up so say goodbye to Blogger you might not see this trash platform again *dabs*

Now that I've ensured I'll get cancelled by Blogger haha, let's talk about Anime and what's up next season! Then maybe we'll talk about music lol when did that become secondary




ใ‚ขใƒ‹ใƒกย Shinigami Bocchan to Kuro Maid
"Good morning, Bocchan." Someone sell me a sound clip with Alice saying this to me- Ah.
Oh so we HAVEN'T got the approval and we are trying to get it. Damn, I thought we're like, hard cut into the future where they lived their eloped life already. *giggles* But yeah, we gotta close this one up, so in this final episode of a wonderful series and when I mean that I meant Alice *dabs* (#ShinigamiBocchan36), it's all about decisions. Decisions that all makes sense now, and will make sure you get the tissue box ready. I mean, you should've. *giggles* Let's talk about them. Firstly, about the family. Not going to talk about who Victor is really haha we have to mention the grandfather in a bit too, but yeah, Bocchan is intending to be with Alice. That also means he won't be carrying the noble title and that is fine, but not because he gets to do it. Ironically, and that's why Sharon is by her side, Gerbera is now open to ditching traditions and letting Walter take over the household considering he is also more acquainted to the people so far compared to him who is like, inprisoned since he was 5. *cringe* But yeah, this extends to Walter too, where he promised the one woman Daleth (lol) all the love they have expressed to each other so far, including Daleth's resolve to be human. Yeah you see the problem here is you gotta marry him as a witch so you can be human? Is the mom okay with that? *laughs* But no we jumped the gun or at least he did, and yeah what a way to ensure someone can save her because she can't use her magic no more, and it being destroyed all thanks to Sade being around... it all makes sense now making these decisions. Oh, we don't care about nobles marrying nobles no more, just so you know. *giggles* As Sade said, Walter's hanging out with like, the daughter to the demon lord so that counts, right? *laughs* Moving on, let's talk about everyone else. Outside of the family though, the world has opened up so much just seeing the letters to the wedding invitation as such a great opportunity to give him best wishes, but also, to reconcile with him once again since the curse. Looking at you, Philips. *giggles* Hey, it's already way better timing compared to Sade who for once can't even explain herself to Sharon who she just cursed to eternal sleep yet heal her daughter in the process. Again, not exactly evil because if she was no one would be around anyways lol, so Sharon forgave her. Considering not just Sade, even Zain and Cuff were the first to approach Bocchan and Alice making this whole removing the curse thing more than possible, and Nico and the others even though he is way beyond his age to be living now lol what about Ichi though, were still vital in this wonderful ending we have always desired. All in all and let's wrap all 3 seasons of Anime up, I gotta say, the 3DCG really held up more than what I expected, and even seeing all the kissing scenes this episode alone is making sure the animation has never bothered me the least and even in many occasions made me laugh because it's still true to Anime as it can. Other than that though, we love a happy ending, we love those tearjerker moments, I'm sad Viola is still single and I want to change that lmao I'm older than her we can make this work, and yeah, this is how the world should have been in this story. So yeah, congrats to all reaching their romance goals lol I guess not everyone, can't wait for Bocchan to flub on his first piano performance in public, and Victor and his wife when are you going to visit your grandson someday after they have settled down? Oh, they haven't even had kids yet? BOOM GOTCHA wasn't talking about the old man haha but seriously though this is such a blessing, if Inoue-sensei's next work (which I have been following their social) will ever become an Anime... it won't be the same again. Not with the huge rack teases HAHAHAHAHA
BEFORE
(Technically there's the blanket as shield)
AFTER
(Hehe nice)
P.S. "I (Bocchan) am going to lose my title soon... I'd like it if you would call me by my name" YOU HAVE A NAME?? *laughs* "Victor-sama?" OH HE IS NAMED AFTER HIS GRANDPA (No "junior" suffix though? LAME)
P.P.S. "I'll leave the family inheritance to Walter" Haha he is so hype right now or not maybe because how is HE going to tell his mom he wants to marry a not witch older woman than him or whatever *laughs*
I think Rob deserves this massage as with all of us taking on this journey
(And from here on, actually)
I think Walter deserves a pat on the back for holding up the family image
(lol)

ใ‚ขใƒ‹ใƒกย Sasayaku You ni Koi wo Utau
"The place we are heading is where Laureley is born." Uh, why are we heading to a cemetery? *cringe*
Wait, what? So Kyou-chan here is with the other 2 from Laureley gang...? Oh. OH!! *silence* In this new episode where uh, I hope Shiho isn't mad yet haha oh she might be already (#SasaKoi10), eh, we find out what happened to Kyou-chan. Yeah, that girl who was Shiho's rival for all the time when she was a kid? How she got beat in violin and guitar even? Yeah, you killed her, b*tch. *laughs* Okay not like, physically with a violin or something that'll be first degree murder and this will become a crime investigation series, and it's really kind of hard to explain, so I'm glad we got around this thanks to Himari-chan which I already said before, is probably a mistake to put her as your band's manager, Shiho. So, about her. Turning point of the flashback we seen before was when Kyou-chan met directly with a vehicle. Not like, she got a new car or something, something hit her. Like, on the road hit her. *silence* Okay moving on haha death is such a hard thing to talk about in reviews, but as we have learnt, death does a lot of things to people. To Shiho, she practically lost her hope in life. There was a wall to climb, Kyou-chan at the top was the target, and it was suddenly gone. To her, it's probably the worst thing that can happen to her even if she switched to guitar. But to Kyou-chan though, it's a different story. Remember how Kyou said that she liked Shiho's music so much? Shiho didn't take that seriously, but that was the point: People around her knew she loved this girl called Shiho but never expected her to be such a lost brat. AND she wanted to quit music AGAIN, DUDE?? (This is the SSGIRLS quitting) But seriously though, just look at Momoka-chan cry. How can you just let her down- You can be my girlfriend, Ueda Reina. *dabs* (Hey hey I meant date me as a woman- Happy Pride Month by the way lol) And that's why saying really isn't everything, even if they are alive, the emotion thing. Yeah, death is one way to make sense of words, but hey, this is just her experience I'm pretty sure our experiences will differ. But all this made sense... until you realized we never found out why she quit the band then. If music is something you pursue, and you aren't kicked out for who you are seeking perfection you were invited to be in SSGIRLS too... Okay okay haha here's psychiatry with Shiho 101 right here: She says she hates Yori-senpai, but then Himari-chan asked her why she said it was without reason. So yeah, j-j-j-jealousy, right? Yup, that feeling where you feel bad when you see your beloved with someone else? But okay, even if Shiho didn't really have to spell it out, you guys got it already, right? I mean, I got it from the social media thumbnail. *laughs* And the cycle is complete, literally. It's a love triangle in place, Shiho hates everyone now, and vengeance under a solo leader who wants perfect music of hate is Laureley as we know today. *laughs* Damn, this is making my head hurt, you don't even know. All in all. what the f**k is this mess even? *giggles* And they dare hang this on us without a next episode air date? AARGHHHHHHH Shiho just needs to go to Hell. *laughs* Okay okay serious talk though, I have never been more hyped for where this drama is going and that's probably why it's getting a real life drama series, but damn this episode hits more than I expected. Yeah, if you really want drama up your rear while forgetting that only girls exist in this world lmao, then this is a very good recommend. I know I may have never been the target audience for this, but I'm still so, so glad I picked this up only for the one and only reason: Komatsu Mikako, wait, no. *laughs* Yeah Shiho, what are you going to do? Hate me too, huh?? Haha it's okay you can hate me everyone hates me already there is no love. *sob* Whenever the conclusion to this may be, let's just hope all of this will surface once again with Himari-chan's help of course little did Shiho know she is digging her own emotional grave (I gotta specify this lest I get cancelled by Momoka lol), and we will see her rest her piece sometime down the line. Someone please save her, even if not in exclusivity in romance. Aki-chan here could use some love, she liked Shiho back then and even now. See where I'm going there? *wink*
[TL:DR; Every time Shiho does something bad to others she is effectively shooting her own foot. And then you say you can't walk no more? BRUH. *laughs*]
Girls crying special I guess
(WHO MADE OUR MOMOKA CRY HERE HOW DARE YOU)
Girls crying special I guess
(I feel bad for Shiho ngl then again it's also her)
P.S. "Why? I was the one who made the decision (to break up with Kyou)" Well, then you have no idea what it means to have consequences, Shiho.
P.P.S. "I've never had someone I know die before, and to be honest, it hasn't really hit me yet." Yeah SHE DIED OUT OF SPITE- Okay not out of spite but again, Shiho has experienced quite a lot of what God has to offer to her, that's for sure. *giggles*

ใ‚ขใƒ‹ใƒกย Suki demo Kirai na Amanojaku
"I have to give it back" Give what back- AH DAMMIT the kid got before me lol
I feel like I should watch an Anime movie every season, but not like I always have the time to be frank and not like we are rushed to migrating to a new blog lol, but here we are. I would like to say though, there is absolutely no regret in just picking up a cute movie to watch once in a while I am a fan of such things I would argue, so let's talk about what this (#Amanojaku) is about. My first impression of this honestly?ย  Is that there is no monologue. No such thing, that thing is as dead as the Snow Gods that are in the Hidden Village. *giggles* I always and now am more than aware that monologues ruin the thoughts for the audience who should have been thinking given just enough dialogue that will go through in the storytelling, I've always believed in that so I really think that irks me if I see them, but this just goes the other way around. Even then, I'm pleased to say I can understand the story, so I hope the negativity on this isn't about why this isn't explaining more of what the lore is behind them because I'm sure Tsumugi and the Chief might have said more than enough for you to understand what this is all about. Secondly, I would like to bring to attention that as much as I would like to not refer to depressed people as "oni" lmao *points at self* I would still make sure that this read makes sense so whenever I refer to demons I just meant people who have been so depressed they emit so many little demons they become one, like, they lost their soul. Damn, that Chief has 3 horns how many husbands have died before her? *silence* MOVING ON haha, and lastly, is that to go with the flow. I sat down to ensure that I won't be too concerned about the rating (Spoiler: I lied haha) online and just go ahead to watch and see where it took me, and I tell you, it's a lot better than people give them criticism for. With that, let's talk about the story.
"You two make a great couple!" Yeah get it? Because it also means "loving a demon"? *wink*
This is no romance plot mind you, though I guess where is this series without romance at least in the family terms, so let's talk about Hiiragi. He's a nice guy. Yeah, they don't make shows with bad guys now, this guy is so nice he'll help out a classmate be her fake boyfriend. I know right, where is you shame even. *laughs* But after having an itch to help Tsumugi out at boarding a bus, Hiiragi would not be too surprised to learn more about why she has been here. Well, in this world, there are demons. And people become demons by going to Hell- What did I tell you don't mix this up. *laughs* People become demons through negative emotions, and too many of them you will just become one. Oh, descendants of them aren't this depressed. I mean, just look at that cutie Tsumugi, try getting mad at her. *giggles* Also yeah, imagine he nods to everything about helping everyone around him who in turn doesn't care about him at all, and then he rejects the heck out of this demon girl. *laughs* Who are we joking he's only scared of his dad he'll not help her- Oh what the heck. *laughs* Tsumugi is here to find her mom in a shrine Hiiragi knows about and I assume many do but only he will help, and not until the former realized how much trouble they are in pursued by the Snow Gods that this is potentially a huge lore behind on itself. Yeah, not going to spoil much, but Hiiragi did get eaten by one in front of his real dad so uh... YIKES?? *laughs* And this didn't just stop there, Snow Gods are flowing out of the village and supposedly targeting people. It's like theย Snow God is some game host "so who is our next CONTESTANT!!" lmao I'm so sorry I need to make jokes this is how it is. But turns out, we know they aren't just targeting certain things, it's specifically just the demons and even Tsumugi herself, and that is probably where the issue is here.
"I did find (Hiiragi), but he just vanished right before my eyes" YIKES
I would say the problem of how the Snow Gods, where you might have figured out on your own especially with the flashbacks Hiiragi experienced while being in a Snow God (remember when I said he was eaten?) and also again when Tsumugi reached the inner shrine in the Hidden Village, is surprise surprise, the mom was involved. I would just infer this as the mom was the lynchpin for how the Hidden Village stays hidden, presumably, and the Snow Gods are the ones protecting them from the people outside because what better way to protect introverted depressed people than to send them so see a psychiatrist build an invisible village in extreme cold conditions to keep those extroverts away? *wink* We need to not know how the lore goes, we need not stare too much at the blinds that were in that dude's cafรฉ, because even if historically it has happened, does not mean it won't happen to Tsumugi's mom, who had doubts on being the carrier of the world of demons while she misses her life opportunity to be with her dear family. Yeah. *sob* This is probably why it can never be mentioned the dad chose to hide it from her, and also being the sacrifice to keep the village "safe", she was being nice and had to do what she does. Just like Hiiragi. Deja vu, anyone? I think this is a safe explanation, and kind of breaks tradition in the way we have not expected much walking into this just because. I would argue that Tsumugi is also likely right that they don't need this cloak (unlike the ones in Anime "Nagi no Asukara") in order for them to stay safe, so that's settled rather easily without much heavy conflict or whatsoever. Heck, even the Chief didn't try to stop Tsumugi to find her mom even when she know fully well what is going to happen. Nice world, people, nice world.
"How can you say it's better for me not to know?" Well your mom is, you know. Your mom is... you know. *laughs*
All in all... sorry for looking at the rating at MyAnimeList as I say this, but in the comments and reviews I saw something that made sense: It's nothing amazing, but it's good. I think the biggest problem with it is how people will not understand the lore because once again, and this is why the audience today is dumber than the homo sapiens when they were in caves, people are not using the brain to link things up. But I also can attribute this to the lacklustre storytelling that is going on, since it takes quite a lot to link the dots and of course, have to consider that this whole time no one will tell you why your mom was not around you is because of them. *laughs* Well, not like it's anyone's fault she did volunteer to do it in the first place, but still. And certain points that are supposed to be important didn't stand out, like the Chief actually not responding to Tsumugi saying she doesn't mind the Hidden Village opening up to others (demons, of course, motherf**ker tried for months and can't even access the place through the hole lmao), or even just why it all comes around for Hiiragi to help Tsumugi in the first place... I guess this should need some improvement, probably will work if it's a little longer to bring in the lore and mood a little deeper. Yeah, it just lacks depth. *giggles* Hey but for a casual movie though, this is actually good. The characters are lively, there's this journey when you don't have money again I also don't know how kids can fly these days lmao, and all's well ends well and no one dies. *silence* I legit was aiming for a sad ending, you know, the mom just can't come back, but heck prove me wrong, Anime. Still, it was a joy to watch, never a moment I thought it felt dumb because remember the audience is dumber lmao, but it's not going to make me like this any further. Well, not as much as Tsumugi will like Hiiragi now AMIRITE FELLAS haha hey maybe being an demon isn't too bad after all. *sees little demons appearing on my back* Uh oh. *laughs*
My opinion of this movie
(*thumbs up*)
Me sitting at my desk every day at work be like
(BRUH)
Job well done be like
(Not at work though no one will bro fist me *sob*)
MFW I had a great weekend hehe
P.S. "But I was wondering Yatsuse-kun do you have a girlfriend?" OOF "If you do have one, treat her right, okay?" DOUBLE OOF haha "I came here... to eat you" OH PLEASE MIYU-CHAN EAT ME HOWEVER YOU LIKE- I mean, I know there's such a thing called double threat but not like this *laughs*
P.P.S. "We often miss the chance to say what we need to. Let them know you are doing okay when you are ready." YEAH. Yeah. *silence*
[I wonder if Tsumugi's quarrel with her dad before she left the village is similar to how Hiiragi just left his family alone to help a chick HAHA ah hey TSUMUGI SPECIAL!!! She may not be best girl in Anime but she is in this one *wink*]
My opinion of this movie- Oh we did that already.
*giggles*
Me waiting for food delivery be like
(lmao)
Kid her is even cuter though??
FBI NO NO NO
So brave, this girl. So brave.

ใ‚ขใƒ‹ใƒกย Summer 2024 Anime Preview
[Powered by Random Curiosity]
Welcome once again, to my 3-monthly talk about Anime in the next... 3 months lmao, where I banter about the good and bad about stuff I want to watch that hopefully isn't isekai junk, have too long of a title I don't have to watch any episode to know what's up lmao, or just isn't about tsundere and/or romance. *laughs* I nailed this on myself, huh, me. Oh yeah, and sequels, how can I forgot about that- *pukes*

In chronological order of simulcast in Japanese television, with premiere dates if I'm interested in checking them out:
And we're done! If romance isn't my Anime life now then nothing else will be. *laughs* Well, it's the only genre that isn't completely replaced by the isekai genre (and sequels) and production still thinks it can sell. RIP everything I've liked over the past 15 years then I'll just soak in on romance stories now thank you and you're welcome. *sigh*

้Ÿณๆฅฝย This Week on Klassic Note
Hmm this week in Klassic Note isn't much but we can talk first about the many single songs that released before going to the real stuff. *giggles* Sai's new song is weird not fitting of their jazz style so I'm skipping it, FIVE NEW OLD's new song is also meh and not like their recent live videos have made me like them more so I'll give that a pass too, I don't know what's going on with SIX LOUNGE's new song lmao this is definitely not their usual style, and Chilli Beans. new song is probably the best among them and even then it doesn't really hold up, so nope to these I suppose. And I guess thanks to Anime "Amanojaku" I have to listen to a couple of "Zutto Mayonaka de Ii no ni." songs (yes that's their name, or "ZUTTOMAYO") and I think I prefer the theme songย that is played on the end than the insert song which initially caught my attention as it surfaced in the middle of the story. RYTHEM's new album is the sole winner this week though lol no surprises there, but not like I gave them a lot of songs because despite their attempts to feature guest vocalists already with both members being vocalists themselves and trying out various styles eerily similar to Niitsu Yui's 2nd album lol, I still managed to give them a couple of new songs so that will suffice.ย 

SPECIAL OTHERS ACOUSTIC's new pieceย (as they do every 25th) isn't going to make me jump at them lol I will be patient and wait for the album release in October. Hanazawa Kana's new live video is of a song I've grown to like so I won't say much I hardly get to like one of her live videos that is a song I know of so let's go. sphere's new music video is of a 2012 classic from their album which somehow I'm still surprised why idol songs these days aren't this simple. *silence* Moving on haha, as announced on her birthday while eating sushi and saying it premptively lmao never change Mocho, Asakura Momo announced a new album on her birthday livestream which is releasing in August and will contain all her songs in the past couple of years. I can't believe Histsujibungaku's new music video is literally that sheep song that I mentioned last week haha alright you guys win I guess. Well, at least Ikimonogakari's new music video is much better and summer-themed too FINALLY someone is on board the summer season I thought the vibes died with the terrible weather changes lol. Tomita Miyu announced a new album release in an impromptu Instagram live a couple of days ago which yay finally it has been a while it's for her solo debut 5th anniversary, so let's hope for the miracle of songs I have given her in the 1st album... which isn't all the Anime theme songs ironically. To celebrate the upcoming live, Natsukawa Shiina is airing her pre-2nd album live on YouTube which should still be available as I migrate blogs so don't worry you will watch it till the end just because they ensured that Nan-chan will also be there to comment on it! Haha seriously though anyone is listening to the songs? *laughs* TrySail's new song will pre-release next week so in case you didn't know how that works it's for Anime and will align with the Anime's first episode. Hitsujibungaku's new song is also pre-releasing next week for the same reason.ย Aimer's new song will be for Anime which ClariS has sung a theme song for so damn, that Anime is getting all the good songs, eh? Moving on we got more news, RYTHEM's new live video is a good reminder of their revival song from a couple of years ago was so good, it probably reinstated our love for them. *wink* Okay, maybe not much for me but for fans, I'm sure it worked. Horie Yui's new song preview is also into the summer mood and I hope the rest of the album will be this cheerful. Uesaka Sumire's new music video will air in 3 weeks and be out for pre-release in 2 weeks if you are impatient but it's not going to be that great so I can wait. *laughs* And in case you haven't got bored, ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION's debut song remastered for this year will pre-release next week to give you a reminder that their single best album is out next month. Creepy Nuts' new live video is all that I have wanted of course including fans who knew how to sing the song better than me.ย 

Next week, we have Horie Yui's new album to deal with and I think that is quite enough haha yes I'm trying to ignore the fact that I have to give new Anime theme songs AS SOON as their first episodes have aired so we shall see on those and how many I can talk about as I watch them.ย 




Wow, isn't it ironic yet cool to (not that I watched it) see Ikimonogakari performing on Taiwan's Golden Melody Awards? Yeah, can the audience even appreciate Japanese music? I hope they know that someone took their melodies and writing Chinese lyrics over it. *giggles* I'm just blessed with so many livestreams now I am watching lives here and there just this week alone, and even just Naobou is hosting a livestream on YouTube to just talk about who won the lottery on her recent bus tour? Damn, why sign up for their fanclubs even. *laughs* Anyways, enjoy the new month and week ahead because I know I will, for I will see you on the other side- Oh, that's on the next and final post here. *giggles* Anyhow see you next time, and by then, you might be seeing a very different me. Well, not me me, blog me. And not real me, just fictional me and DON'T YOU DARE TRACK ME ON THE INTERNET haha only the rich and irresponsible engineers developing new technologies can do that LMAO talking about you OpenAI and Google and your data obtaining practices
