Well, if you thought the reviews last week was short, expect this to be even shorter as I lose more of my energy to whatever flu virus decided to appear in the office this week. *cringe*

Anyways welcome back, my end of the year plan for Anime is likely "SasaKoi" final episode... wait, AND "Hanako-kun" specials? Oh boy. And that's assuming the others don't have a 13th episode... or span two cours... Wow looks like "Meido-sama" will be the only one ended by then. Uh... Hey, at least my schedule for end of the year looks rosy if I don't have to do support work by then! Fingers crossed, people.

On other news, the upcoming package is coming in... I wouldn't say nicely now because we are in quite a pickle, and I am likely to split what's left of this year into two batches. But don't worry, the new year calendar has been decided, and it isn't Minase Inori's fanclub wall calendar. Pour one out for the not Inorin stans, would ya? *dabs*

Anyhow, let's talk about Anime and music before my meds kick in! I REALLY need more sleep tbh but my brain can't stop thinking of making a relationship chart out of all the ladies I have met in fiction-

Oh heck, at least we remembered the main story was to let Chinatsu live out her final year in high school the way she wanted! Who could've forgotten? *taps brain* Haha in this new episode of sports and love and that's the new title now (#AoNoHako09), god, did you see the animation where they show the basketball girls play from afar? What is that, slow motion? *laughs* Anyways I'll pretend I didn't see that, but yeah, we are in the depression period. Well, let's not say it's the first, but for Taiki it is his first. First time losing in an actual tournament, I'm sure he has lost ample times to Haryu. *laughs* Excuse me, nationals finalist Haryu-senpai. *dabs* Oh yeah, it's triggering Taiki alright. So yeah, he goes on this overthinking cycle even his friends are worried about him... unless you are Kyou, in which he's like oh he'll get over it. But yeah, the getting over part is hard, and I don't mean that dumb video game. *laughs* I think the hardest part is to convince yourself to not overthink too much? Bruh. *laughs* Yeah same I can't and that's why I'm still a loser according to whatever that meme was explaining all the nerdy terms lol *sob* but hey, I've learnt to do that over time. For starters, substituting it with something else will help. Food, video games, women... wait. *laughs* Yeah, which brings us to the next half of this, where's the romance- chatting about what happened after the qualifiers? *wink* Because seriously, if it wasn't until Taiki took a hit mentally to himself I would believe even though they are hinting on the summer flu so probably that I don't think Taiki is weak enough like me to get a fever every Monday- ANYWAYS haha (ugh) he is STILL way will strong to how should I say, think as much of his motivation for doing so much so far aka Chinatsu here hehe, as much as he is also thinking of how he has lost, as shown by his goals that he wrote to pin on the wall in the sports hall. But yeah, maybe he just needs time to heal. With a fever coming up and no one at home besides the girl he likes, this is the best time to talk things out. *silence* AND THEN THEY HAD S*X- Please, someone has a fever here. *laughs* All in all though, I feel... everything and nothing. *laughs* Everything because once again, I have had experience with tournaments albeit basically the one match haha, but sadly I'm not as nice as Chinatsu to be able to empathize people... this way haha I was a good listening ear way back then, but I also feel nothing because I'm as sick as Taiki is right about now. *giggles* Well, not as sick, but that, I definitely have more experience in him. And getting rest is vital for recovery- Well, I guess we aren't. *laughs* What happens next? I mean, I SURE HOPE Chinatsu doesn't do anything weird- And then the mom shows up? Hey, I really want to say they really shouldn't? You know, there's the nationals and such? But who knows, maybe we just end this series here. *laughs* We shall see what's up next time, yes?

P.S. "Studying little by little is the hardest thing to do. You make it sound so easy... You wouldn't understand anyways." LOL from excuses to denial to rejection of reality haha this Taiki has it all

LET US SEE SOME KYORAKU ACTION RIGHT NOW!! Haha no really, this has been years in waiting, and many more if you have read the source material. Welcome back to another new episode of this action-packed series (#BLEACHTYBW35) where we talk about how Mr. Pink Man handles combat. It has been a while, so maybe we talk about it a little first, yes? In case you have forgotten about Katen Kyokotsu and how many women Kyoraku is already surrounded without even hiring a vice captain under his name when he became a captain of the Gotei 13 lmao, his zanpakuto is all about little kids' games. Playing red light green light, chasing a shadow, fighting in higher places and not referencing Star Wars, that sort of thing to name a few. *giggles* Our Quincy opponent Lille is barely catching up, essentially using his cheating tactic to get around getting directly attacked by Kyoraku in which most cases if he's starting the game and playing by the rules Kubo-sensei would have given him the win, but no, not this time we won't. *giggles* Because Lille's schift or power bestowed by Yhwach is "X-Axis", something hard to explain but I think the Anime here has made is quite clear how it works, but to battle against playing with Kyoraku's... I wouldn't say illusions because Shinji is more of that but yeah playing by his rules, the easiest way to get around it is to just prevent it in the first place. So yeah, Lille is cheating. *laughs* I mean, we have gone through so many cheats like that miracle one and that kid who summoned a meteor out of nowhere, I'm pretty sure this is within the rules if you are cheating anyways. *giggles* So yeah, not like Kyoraku has any choice and not like Nanao-chan has caught up with us just yet (and yes she will matter in a bit as in not this episode) the head captain here has to up his own game. Introducing Karamatsu Shinju and oh damn is this ever the only Bankai so far that has managed to hold on to its original name from the shikai haha I know right, and Ohana-san which we have seen by total deja vu, in the Zanpakuto Spirits Arc. Yes, that Anime filler arc Kubo-sensei swears it's real. *laughs* Anyways coming back, his attacks are just essentially bringing back the game to the opponent essentially also by cheating because seriously which kid plays tag against the rules upon each other until both sides get tired and want to go home just before sunset? *taps brain* So yeah, kind brutal in terms of scale compared to child's play, but total epic coolness compared to I would say Yamamoto's Bankai at this rate, to be honest. *dabs* All in all... I know I'm shivering because of the cold winds in this hot weather, but yeah, is Kyoraku giving me the shivers up my spine, dude. Oh yeah, and that ending? That was totally on purpose. TOTALLY on purpose, by the way. *laughs* Spoiler alert, things won't be going too well for Kyoraku from here on, and we will talk about that when the time comes which looks like the next episode title won't be telling us that soon, and we did see Mayuri's opponent screwing up his new baby (no that one, not yet) (haha) real bad so THERE WILL BE MORE ACTION UP AHEAD I PROMISE YOU lol yeah so I'm not too worried on whether the Anime can deliver. I'm already impressed at what they have come up to just showcasing Lille and Kyoraku's attacks, and damn, why does Rose's Bankai look like cr*p now in comparison to this even though it's pretty much presented the same way? *giggles* 

P.S. "If you die before I return, I will shave your chest hairs off your corpse." Haha yeah I remember these it's just the same with Lisa-chan which was Kyoraku's previous vice too "Okay, then let's go on without him!" Me when I go for my lunch break at work without my boss lol

P.P.S. "There is no weapon that can kill me." Apparently when people say this, their biggest weakness is their own power, see Barragan from the Arrancar arc. Oops, spoiler alert. *giggles* (Well not really, you haven't seen that far)

[TIL that the baby Ashigo Jizou was voiced by Rukia's voice actress LMAO that is totally comical someone make a drawing of that haha]

Hey, what fictional timeline can I write that I will be disappointed by Natsukawa Shiina just because she didn't live up to my expectations? Never, she is the best, I already bought her latest single. *giggles* In this episode where what on Earth are we doing here I can't even (#MeidoSama09), because trust me, I wish Naka-san here is voiced by my dear imouto but she isn't, so why are even watching this? *laughs* Oh, the triple school festival frappe sundae or whatever. *laughs* Oh, and being friends, welcome back to that one episode in "Tenshi Tsuki" where snow woman girl tries to awkwardly be friends despite her cold personality- We are in this again, huh. *laughs* So yeah, if you have watched the former then I won't go through this again, but if you aren't bored and haven't gotten sick of how this has totally NO relation to what has happened recently with Grace coming in for the kill, well guess what we have pissed off Naka-san's brother so he's coming in for the kill. *laughs* So yeah, whatever robbers and cops competition between classes, who cares. *laughs* A few things we can talk about here. Looks like Naka-san is herself an assassin too, from how she is able to fight off whatever robot swordsmen at her place, to how she can listen to conversations from far away to even farting off pink smoke on command... she truly is the next best thing to a s*x doll. *laughs* Alright me, I'm not going to paedophile route so I'll let the student council president Tatsu do the honours. *laughs* Okay, maybe lolicon or siscon, we don't go to extremes here in this slice-of-life series. *giggles* You can already guess the outcome it's most likely what you didn't expect and as expected of a comedy series anyways I think we got our Katsuda Sauce supply back and that's why it's okay to lose tbh, but more importantly, they managed to squeeze in friendship talk around here or something. Well, I guess it works? There was a part where Naka-san sees Yuki-san as cool and wants to be friends with her likely because she thinks they are equal? Well, they aren't to your brother so oh what the heck. *laughs* Though I guess Yuki-san did take this quite on stride, as she learns how not to make friends, but be friends with someone. Well, don't think we need a crash course here, but if you guys haven't gone through any tough times to be together, then... I don't think I did with my friends though? *giggles* Alright I lied I did and I'm not going to explain why, but it's definitely not as close (get it?) as these guys who just like, wrestle through their way into each other's lives like the brother demands it. *laughs* All in all... I legit went to look at the previous episode to see how we ended up here. *laughs* Yeah, it just straight off cuts to the school festival arc and just took away the sauce and THEN tell us we have new characters to deal with which we do not know even if they are related to the famous assassins group Yuki-san was trying to avoid all this time? BRUH. *laughs* So yeah, you can take this comedy and/or logic with a big bottle of salt, but yeah, maaaaaybe I picked the wrong show to watch this season. Hey, "Amagami-san", can we talk? *laughs* 

P.S. "There is a possibility that (Yuki-san) could be one of Hikage (Naka's) enemies out for revenge." LOL reverse revenge plot stolen from Yuki-san? Impossible. *laughs* (Dude, this series is just running out of ideas now)

P.P.S. "Let us combine forces and beat the cr*p out of the student council president together." Oh boy are those words amazing coming out of Ueshama's mouth in the studio- Can we record that part, please? *giggles* "Are you all licking the sauce?" OH BOY WE CANNOT AIR THIS (lol Hayami Saori please though??)

Yeah, whoever screamed is me at my romance prospects, by the way. *laughs* Oh right, they decided to make this class event instead of a date between Murai and <insert_placeholder_here> only. Welp. *laughs* In this new episode though where things did not go according to plan (#MuraiNoKoi08), eh looks like we got Yamakado-sensei from the other class and what's worse, Tetsuko's superior interested so that's kind cringe. *laughs* Not only cringe, but before we get to that first, maybe we talk about that otome game that Tetsuko is so much into. Well, everyone is into according to Hitomi by the way. And that's why I stay away from artists like (offensive reference warning) Makoto Shinkai. *laughs* Once you know them earlier than the rest of the dweebs, they get too famous because their writing plus publicizing what they generalize works with the general audience, and then I just stop following them because who f**king cares I want my indie stuff to be fresh and different and cringe so screw those people. *giggles* So yeah, don't ask how I live my life liking the most obscure things that aren't video games and/or Anime and they are both not as exciting as how Tetsuko is happy taking work leave, by the way. Then again I did take work leave just to play the most recent Animal Crossing game during the pandemic so let's just say I have more experience here than Yamakado-sensei who probably thought someone was just taking leave to not take care of class and to get away from that bothersome student who likes her for some reason. *shrugs* Haha this Anime is too dumb I can't even. Anyways, blah blah adults have all the power unlike students who still have to study all damn year and not like Hirai will be doing so even after Yayoi-chan kept telling him she isn't interested in him anyways lol I'm sorry brother, I think the bigger problem here is that, and now I think we can change back channels, Yamakado-sensei here thinks we are having a forbidden teacher-student relationship in school. Of course he has no evidence as of now, and not like he knows of the truth that contrary to his belief, it's more like a harassment case that could land Murai in correction order but we will not go further into that. *laughs* Yeah, add in false of identity as crime here because why not and HOW DARE Murai impersonate the best video game character in otome game history. Well, at least, to Tetsuko and the fictional world they live in, yes? *giggles* Oh, the game though? Dude, I don't know why anyone would expect to see the prospect of making heirs in a video game unless it's The Witcher 3- Or at least a straight off a porno game which I will not introduce to you but I will tell you that DLSite is a fantastic place to find those especially the 3D ones LMAO I think I also mentioned a couple of them here before lol *cringe* but yeah, not about that, but Yamakado-sensei is still ready to be disappointed in the truth so maybe Tetsuko can let him go around her in a bit or whatever, it has been a while since we had some misunderstandings anyways. *giggles* All in all OH BOY OH BOY how the turns have tabled on what was supposed to be a simple relationship of some dude hoarding a chick- I'm talking about Hirai to Yayoi-chan, by the way. *laughs* And trust me, the secondary character romance plot line is always more interesting AND safe in this case because similar to Yamakado here I don't want to witness whatever that happy ending is without consulting the local government laws. *laughs* Okay go away now I want to imagine making heirs with Hirai's sister-

[TL:DR; "The title is insane." I know right haha]

P.S. "Looks like you are all seated (in class) and on time. It's actually kind of scary. Can a couple of you just stand up and walk around?" LOL even the teacher is freaking out calmly somehow

P.P.S. "I didn't expect you to come all the way out here without telling me. You're more unpredictable than stock prices!" Is this how rich people salaryman and women talk to each other? "Why don't we go to a Seattle-style coffee shop..." ALRIGHT that's a Starbucks reference lmao wtf

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable)

Well, we are likely getting another new single review, guess which one though. *giggles* Not SIX LOUNGE, theirs is Anime only edition. *laughs*

Other than that, Homecomings is the clear winner even though I've not given much of their new songs and just ended up with the ones they have promoted so far, Eve's was too damn long to know which ones aren't written just for the sake of credit (lol) but I think I nailed it on the popular songs on the list despite only knowing 2 of the 20 (holy shit though) songs beforehand, and GLIM SPANKY is alright I think I did end up getting interested in some of their classics that I missed.

(*From Twitter/X; Information accurate as of writing)

Yeah, it's those release week's new music video taking over now, that's how you know you didn't miss the wave of releases for the week. *giggles*

Jokes aside, I don't think I've gotten into the recommended songs for Eve and Homecomings ironically even though they both sounded alright just not what I wanted, and I almost just forgot about Ten-chan's Christmas single as much as I wished they made the song easier to listen to, but heck, more next year birthday singles!! Thanks Aimer-san, let's just hope it's good, as with many things here to be frank. 

Yeah, probably also for the rest of the month, to be honest, not even thinking of Ten-chan's single for now too. I'll be thinking of the Song Awards in the meantime, I promise. *wink*

Man, I kind of regretted doing that Advent Calendar thing for the first time in my life this year with a cheap cardboard with those DOAXVV acrylic figures which I already know what they are just randomized, AFTER I have seen what Kyari-san was doing with a proper, much nicer box with chocolates. Yeah, I lost as I always do. *giggles* Well, here's hoping the final month of the year will be better, and don't worry, I will live to tell the tale. Of the Top 20 songs. Of Klassic Note this year. Yeah, I didn't forget lol it's just my list is currently empty. *laughs* Oh boy, so many things to do, so little time ideas...

P.S. Oh, who was the first one that I opened on the Advent Calendar? It's Elise-chan! What does it take to convince her so that I can bang her somewhere in the resort? *laughs* (FYI I will do this every day till Christmas and I will only show them on days where I have blog posts which start now so it's never too late to follow me *wink*)
