Oh no, I'm not going to do Extras anymore, "Aharen-san" can wait a week. *laughs*

Speaking of, we have A TON of shows to watch this week! I've given greenlight to a whopping SIX shows this week including half of them are sequels (lol) so that doesn't really count, so I'll give that apocalypse of a hotel a chance hopefully it doesn't suck like "Tasokare Hotel" haha, and then the "Meshi Umashi" one if I'm not going to be annoyed at the f**king potato of a mascot. *laughs* Hey, Mr. Potato in the "Peppa Pig" series is one thing, okay? Not this one. *giggles*

We have a long day ahead of us on a lovely Sunday and music is just there to help I hope it's getting thin recently even with the new Anime theme songs...Let's! 

Oh she's talking about the flower. *laughs* Also, the silence is so deafening, I'm glad there's the candles there making the noise in the witch's house because DAMN in this new episode (#KuroshitsujiWitch02) we are crossing language barriers like it's illegal. *giggles* Because yeah, Ciel talking to girls is a thing now. *laughs* Hey, remember he's like, 10? Bro can't even talk to women at this age, okay? Anyways, story. Story just talks about their stay in the witch's... abode? Castle? I mean, Ciel has that too so what else is new. *giggles* What is new though, is how weirdly the witch has been suffering so far, so let's talk about it. For starters, she is bounded by a terrible butler. *laughs* I mean, do you need more? For Sebastian, all it needs to be worse than himself would be enough to annoy him, but goddamn Wolfram is in another level. Hey, at least he's not going to set of any explosions, okay? This Wolfram isn't like Bard. *giggles* Still, not that great for an 11-year-old to be starving for this long, so yeah, Sebastian helped this super inefficient single-core processor out. *laughs* I know right, bro can't even be faster than Intel Celeron chips these days. *giggles* Okay tech jokes over, but yeah, how did she even live this long without being equivalent to a poor person like the rest of the village is a mystery in itself. Maybe normally the villagers will help out? Haha no way I guess. Then, Sullivan is also bound by her fate. Legend goes that the Emerald Witch has offered her hopefully still beautiful or small legs I don't know what's the lore here still, to the werewolves who will protect the village from intruders, only to be trapped by them and some even went so far as to injure the villagers without a talisman. Bruh. But then again, that dumb old witch is out again just yapping about the end of nigh and how the intruders are making the werewolves hostile blah blah blah these aren't just people dude we have a devil in our hands. haha *sshh* don't tell anyone just yet. Last but not least, Sullivan is bound by her rights as a human. I mean, witch is witch, but she is still human and has little to no knowledge of the outside world despite reading like, stacks of books about s*x so I assume she read the Kamasutra LMAO like how does she know about threesome... ANYWAYS (lol) which I think they didn't extrapolate even in the source material, the two just played with this kid until she's tired. Clothes on though. *laughs* All in all, just another fun episode where Yana-chan-sensei gets to flex her writing skills and make Kugimiya Rie do weird things I can't even. *giggles* Hey, they already got them to speak the German, what else do you want? Oh we aren't done yet though, for Sebastian will be dealing with the werewolf first hand hopefully after wiping his tears, so we shall see what's up then. Eh, this part I think I can recall, didn't go so well. *prays* He's the devil, he'll be fine. I think. *cringe*

P.S. "Hey, say something, will you? Conversing with women is your specialty." What, Sebastian is? He's like the devil dude who do you think he talks to *cringe* 

P.P.S. "If you value your lives, don't go into the forest uninvited. Ever." Is this a challenge? Says Sebastian. *giggles*

Oh damn Osanai Yuki, you are more sus than you have ever been in this series, I tell ya. I hate you already so that doesn't matter. *giggles* In this new episode where suspicion are dismissed and the culprit is not even of age lmao (#Shoushimin12), but yeah, we already know who did it. Just pay me, and I'll write a column about it. *dabs* Okay that's not what Urino has been doing, and paying him to eat sweets is rather a small price to pay, isn't it, Osanai Yuki? *silence* So basically Yuki-chan just gave this guy all the materials and be friends with him so he can write a nicer story to her kidnapping which by the way according to her, did not exist. *silence* I'll let you sink in that on a bit. *cringe* Really, never did I think I would watch the "Hyouka" author write another story that is as dark as this one, so call be baited, and they should just apologize to me personally, on all knees and everything. *laughs* This author is pissing me off in many levels I can't even. And I haven't even removed the first sugar layer of that marron glace. *giggles* But this has real impacts that Urino is just absorbing like a sponge along with the Kengo though, as they had to apologize to the teacher for raising such an issue on the school newspaper. Kengo did defend him till the end and tell him to reveal his secrets about how he got to the next arson prediction which would solve this conundrum they had to bear as a news outlet by the way. Yeah, so letting people to believe they are the perpetrators is also not surprising to know, and it really is affecting the school in some way, so let's just write another version which also just reveals the next prediction location without the solution revealed- Wait, what? *giggles* I don't know if this will be used but looks like it won't, seeing that Yuki-chan has just warned Urino about essentially not doing anything rash so I wonder if that refers to both of the articles he might have prepared for the next month's release of the newspaper. *silence* And I'm not going to talk about Kobato he's having a great time inviting girls to his place... and eating... sweets. *laughs* Hey Tokiko, this is all he has experience on, okay? It's just him going out with the ex and THEN realizing he has been duped. *shrugs* All in all... if you haven't caught a hint since season 1, uh, Urino will be the likely "victim" this season, just so you know. Yeah, but with romantic feelings involved? This can go anywhere. Well, wherever it is, it's going according to Yuki-chan's plan, you be sure of that. *wink* But yeah, this is the author's way of conveying to us what is up with this "mystery" series, so yeah, just take it at face value, why don't you On other things though with respect to the earlier part, I am kind of keen to see Kobato eventually gain an edge over Yuki-chan's... Shall we say, "evil" doings. Maybe. My guess so far though, and quote me here please lol I also want my blog to take off at some point with these predictions *wink* is that Yuki-chan has reason to either do it herself or get someone to do this, using probably an inconspicuous way, like something that'll catch on fire at some time of day and probably not a cigarette she can't have access to that too, and she will have an alibi for any of those fires. *taps brain* All this just to cover up for something maybe related to the kidnapping, that I don't know. But we know it's her. No one is out there lighting up the van which kidnapped them, those girls are locked up already. *cringe* Okay okay no more suspecting, and we did just have a direction change, so let's see how all of them play a part into unveiling the one girl's dirty, dirty crimes. I'm already puking more than the dinner I had last night and that was because I was so full from that six-course meal. *giggles*

P.S. "Whenever I message her, her replies seem pretty distant. Sometimes, I think she's joking about something, but I don't get it." Bro is dating a cute normie chick!! *laughs* Hey Urino, I have no advice for you. *giggles* You are also dealing with a criminal mastermind so I wouldn't say this is easy. *cringe* "We haven't even held hands." Wait, you guys are dating??? UHHHHHH

P.P.S. "Yeah I like them (Japanese sweets)." *looks at Tokiko's reaction* Same dude. *laughs* This f**king Anime dude. I mean, what are we even doing?? *laughs* "I mean, she is cute, but... She's dull." OOO GOTTEM haha I mean Yuki-chan is boring af she is also like a criminal so *shrugs*

Oh hell yeah we are so back with just the soundtrack I can't even. *laughs* One would wonder why this of all things gets a sequel I think just the first episode alone (#AharenSanS201) should give you a rather good idea because Naobou, dude. *laughs* But seriously though, what an opening theme to start us off and I must say ZuttoMayo you just ruined my initial impression of you already lmao, but hey, we aren't just here for that. It's obligation, I must see this through. And see through this I did, we are at the lovers period where "KanoKari" DREAMS they have reached (lmao), and even though I'm not the boyfriend in this relationship to be frank I'm not even anything I'm probably lower ranked than Ooshiro-san haha I'm just the audience by the way, it's great to see everyone back. And I mean everyone. From the couple themselves to the ninja (lmao) to the other classmates in class and now that they are all in the same class, getting Tobaru-sensei to be the homeroom teacher is just icing on the very, VERY esteemed cake. *laughs* No blood on the cake, please, we need to put Reina-chan further away from her just because- You think that's why she is still sitting at the back row of the class? *gasp* I see why now. *laughs* I also see why with the introduction of the new girl will carry us new lore, because apart from just being the new gyaru in the house and no Raidou she isn't picking a fight with your girl just relax lmao, she is also part of Reina-chan's past. But seriously though, why is Naobou always voicing extroverts even though she is rather an introvert herself? *giggles* So as you can see, this is the dynamic they are going for, since Ooshiro and Reina-chan here are kind of the opposite of her. And that makes things a lot more interesting as they (rather quickly I must say) clarified their misunderstandings with each other, and I'm very sure that "the classmate left me because I was too close to them" left because this new girl Tamanaha-san likely had parents that had to move around all the time. That's... what I'd like to believe so let's take that. This Tama-chan though... you sure you don't like to go Comiket? *giggles* She got the bucked tooth from "Slow Start" too, I'll give you that. *laughs* All in all... yeah this is me having anxiety problems and overthinking everything. From who? Yes. *laughs* Unlike me though, this has all the romance that f**king normies have haha *sob* and as I said before, the biggest problem of the series is Raidou's... uh, less than interesting imagination. Yes, Tobaru-sensei's ones are better. *laughs* Ironically, Raidou (as he is always right) mentioned that yeah Reina-chan here is different when she was in middle school compared to now, and there's him for assistance if anything happens or if it has to come to a showdown (lol) so yeah, things will be different this time as we progress. Oh boy, what did I sign up of a sequel. *giggles* Hey, among the many things we signed up for, and remembering that Reina-chan here is just the nicest girl we know? Yeah, this is going to get me more in comedy and emotional scenes than we did last season and I can't even. Also like, we are going to get a season of cute Naobou?? I'm going to be the one bleeding from esteem now. *laughs* Remind me to bring in tissues this time around, and I don't mean for the crying. *giggles*

P.S. "There's no telling what kinds of people our new classmates are. There could be someone frightening who tries to become boss of the class. An attention-seeker who's always trying to be the center of conversation..." Okay but why didn't we go for that cute chick though? *giggles* "Aharen-san... has been kidnapped?!" OH SHIT NOT THE BOSS OF THE CLASS (lol)

P.P.S. "But the fact that Ooshiro-san won't be appearing from windows or the ceiling anymore kind of makes things a little boring." Oh yeah bro what about everything else in this series? *laughs* I think this will depend on Tobaru-sensei's reactions LMAO SHE IS THE FORM TEACHER TOO?? *salutes* Rest in pieces sensei you will be missed haha what

Okay the hard cuts to the news of a pandemic overseas is kinda cringe though can't I just watch my hotel ad in peace? *laughs* Also hey, I WISH the main girl here is voiced by Kana-chan instead of that "mystery solving after dinner" Anime, okay? I didn't decide on the cast. *giggles* in this new episode of a series which only reminded me of "COPELLION" for no reason and I'm getting flashbacks of that other series of a hotel that I dropped (#ApocalypseHotel01), this one, uh... did hold itself up better, I'll tell you that much. Actually it held itself real well as the best hotel on Earth. Uh, mainly because the humans have all migrated into space following a pandemic *cringe* and this is the only thing left run by robots. Yes, even the main girl and the doorman robot are not human. *laughs* Still, I do like the vibes of this series which is also why I sought to give this a chance, test my patience, see where this mellow story takes me. I would say though overall, I am not pleased with my experience. *giggles* I think overall the biggest problem is in pace. If I have to watch more episodes to see some hope in this, then I think that might be its biggest downfall, I'll be frank. Because despite all the lore that is behind us (literally) where the old man promised to come back to Earth and even then expects this place to be run in full condition, uh, we just lost another robot due to an accident of falling steel beams on the outside hot spring we were still building, so you tell me how well this held up. The jokes are rather on point though even if they aren't much, from the epic doorman robot lore, to losing a f**king shower cap even though people without hair don't matter lol but they aren't human anyways though I would argue, this has a lot to offer in the jokes department, I'll tell you that much. All in all... I don't know what to give of this, to be real honest with ya. The episode overall gives off the sense of hopelessness and of course we know eventually we will get more guests than whatever that alien is at the end lmao, but damn, this is not for the appetite of people who can't wait. I might be one of them too, actually. *giggles* Still, I like the kids animation vibes, the simple plot of just being a humanoid robot waiting for the humans to come back to Earth, but damn this series feels like a drag. With a website as dead as the hotel itself, and this being an original series if I didn't remember wrongly, as much as it reminds me of the style generated by AI with the recent Studio Ghibli image generation fever going on which *pukes* by the way, I don't know what to make of this. If I still watch this next week then I'll give the 3-episode try, or else, as the main girl robot who we don't even know her name... "It's over". No one's gonna last this long finding out what this is unless it's robots. *taps brain*

P.S. "As the acting acting manager, I hereby begin our daily morning stand-up." Uh, what happened to the TWO other people that were managers before? *cringe*  "I have a feeling we'll get a walk-in guest today." Uh... *cringe*

Oh if I'm going to pick this "thing" up I will make this joke the season length long because I tell you whatever my sis chose to put down because this was done by the author of the "Yuru Camp" series I will pick up and take a look, since in this new series of "things" to do over the weekend (#mono01), did they just place the author inside an Anime they can play around in? "I'm in." *laughs* I'm also in to a lot of things in this series, so let's talk about what's up. For starters, we have a simple story to run. The  main girl Amamiya joined the photography club a year ago with the senpai, but now that she has graduated... Well, that's it, actually, she has no motivation to kickstart this up considering she has only been taking photos (and getting awards btw) of the senpai ALL THIS TIME??? Bruh. I simp too but this is too much. *laughs* Interestingly, childhood friend Kiriyama which *umph* idolism alert, is voiced by Koga Aoi *umph* (haha) (no really, this is the next fuel for me since "SasaKoi" where she voices cute childhood friend Miki-chan) is with her all the way, and decided that maybe they should do things their way. You know, find new "things" to take photos of. With her prize money and then figuring out that taking 360-degree photos is a hot new trend they can get into... uh, where's the new camera though? Uh oh. And that's where essentially the story opens up. But I would argue Akiyama here might be too real even if it's an exact replica of the author but just more "laid back". Like, this Ueshama might be TOO "laid back". Like, way too "laid back" she might be even more "laid back" than me. *laughs* Yes, anything in quotes is now intentional because author's previous work is called "Laid Back Camp", so welcome to dumb "things" I do on the weekends which is make jokes from Anime. *giggles* And then, there's everything else, from the cat to the photo-taking stuff which thank goodness I have "KimiSomu" to thank for so I roughly know how to do astrophotography and not using a phone camera because that's for noobs (lmao), to Akiyama being just the laziest professional you know of haha hey how do you think she was selling that camera if she wasn't interested in it until she got bogged down by work, to even Kiriyama just being the cutest girl in the series so SUCK IT AMAMIYA (Yes I know of the images that's the joke) *laughs* THIS SERIES THOUGH has WAY TOO MUCH to offer, it's that good. It's kind of like taking photos of your bestie enjoying your bestie taking photos of her beloved senpai, kind of good. *giggles* The jokes are on point too, and I would maybe argue that the intro might be a little dull, it's not what I thought it would be we aren't at the disbanding of the club part yet *cringe* but hey, we enjoy the "things" we have right now, yes? That's probably what's great about it- Because of the cat hyper Koga-chan. *laughs* All in all... I might not want to watch more new shows this season no more, this is it. *giggles* No really though, there is so much to like about this series, I think I understand why my sis enjoyed the "Yuru Camp" series if this is anything close to that. Heck, Koga-chan might be the fuel beforehand and now Ueshama which is like no surprises there, but I'm more surprised on how well the storytelling is done even for a 4-koma slice-of-life genre we all know and love. This is adding to the list then, I guess! I'll have to give halca-san her theme song but hey, you win some you lose some, okay? Remember to get Akiyama here to sponsor all your gear if she wants you guys to model for her manga, though? We need more sponsors to keep this going too hehe

P.S. "Now what things do I take pictures of?" SHE SAID THE THING lol "My dream is to sit by Sacchan, sip tea together by the garden into our late years..." THE F**K (haha) (not yuri plot btw)

P.P.S. "You can get good photos on your phone, too." Only if it's shot on iPhone though, can't say that or else so... monoPhone? *laughs* Also, this chick definitely isn't professional who dares to even say that- "Make sure you find subjects other than me." Yeah, girl has been only taking photos of the senpai I can't even

[CHARACTER FOCUS SPECIAL!! Yeah, giving Makinohara-senpai her first and last appearance lol]

Hey, if there is a reason why I would not watch an Anime series because of a mascot? It's this. *laughs* But if this were to be better than having a full-time narrator on the board, and if I weren't watching this before dinner LMAO, I would not have given this first episode (#HibiMeshi01) a look, trust me. *giggles* Here are the list of reasons why I would defy myself RIGHT in the face even though I told myself I hated that damn mascot that now the first main girl just because I liked everything else about her I can't even. *giggles* AND she works part-time at a place that sells inari which I love?? Yo, can we date? We will be perfect for each other and thanks for the food. *laughs* So yeah, she be glad she is the introverted self that refuses to change and is not that sociable with others because we just gave our confidence out to the hype people we meet over the years in school TOO F**KING REAL DUDE HAHA she is basically me as a kid, and now suffers from the fate of not knowing anyone in university just because she only made friends in elementary school SHE IS BASICALLY ME RIGHT NOW I CAN'T EVEN- But she's cute. *giggles* That's important, people, it's not the lore now. *laughs* But in an afternoon where she has a spare hour before the next lecture so she eats lunch alone WHY AM I NOT A CUTE ANIME CHICK (lol) but then gets spotted by her elementary school friend? Oh, this is more awkward for Shinon-chan, excuse me, "Oshinko" more than Mako-chan though so uh... *laughs* (I think I'm more sick on the head because I thought of "oshikko" which is worse lmao pee pee), but yeah in a long series of events which also involved knowing a little bit about Kurea-chan (not Hasumi, no) (lmao) and how cute her twintails are and why her mom runs a katsudon store which I think I know what my dinner is now and why the daughter is so good at making the final serving for our dear girl- Yo, is this a joke or something where every woman in this series knows how to cook? Oh, not in Japan of course, this is impossible where I live. *giggles* But yeah I assume the others can't cook too but who knows, I haven't watched that far yet. *laughs* But don't worry there is normality in this quirky slice-of-life Anime series, because the lore behind creating a food research club and missing one member is too real most authors would rather just use this then come up with a good idea to slack off in the club room only because the school premises might be too crowded and this isn't that so hey Mako-chan? You be glad you get to eat your meals in peace unlike me in university. *giggles* Still, there is so much to like about this one episode only, I think this will be interesting to even give a chance even though the soundtrack is like alright and the animation is even less worth talking about, but they did nail the food and the characters, so I think it's already a good series considering my experience with Anime for more than a decade. *giggles* All in all, I would say this series so far is holding up as well as that bowl of sauced katsudon. *giggles* No really, "Koufuku Graffiti" from 10 years ago. Go f**k yourself. *laughs* Oh, I've already forgotten about the mascot in the intro already. *laughs* AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN SAYA-CHAN YET??? Now we gotta watch on to find out, right? Yo, I am so sorry for past self right now I can't even. *laughs* But uh, now that we have to deal with the reality which is no food and cooking and very harsh and nonchalant even for this poor girl Mako-chan, maybe we will see something happen with the cooking and food part of this series? I mean, we got 2 people who know how to cook. That's good enough... Right? *cringe*

P.S. "I'm Kawai Mako." Wow you are already cute you have kawaii in your name hehe (Yes, I know this is not that but still) "This year, I've started living on my own as a first-year university student." AHHH even better the best lore timeline I can't even "Personality-wise, I'm very meek." AAAAHHHHH haha can we get that meme up please I'm already pooning all over this is the best girl of the season "Every day, I do my very best to live quietly so as to not cause trouble for anyone around me." YO SAME but yeah it's hard once you start working *sob* "But there are a few things even I get excited about..." IT IS FOOD!!!! Haha is not the perfect Anime girl already *giggles*

P.P.S. "I've never eaten out alone before, though." WHAT HOW OLD ARE YOU EVEN (Haha then again when's the first time I ate out alone? Oh in school because I have no friends *sob*) "And after I called on the power of Mokotarou, too!" Oh you mean that monstrosity? I'm glad I don't have something like this to summon LMAO "The Mokotarou inside me is too weak." GOOD, keep it that way. *laughs*

[I've never wanted to make a meme for so long for an Anime, so you're welcome. Mako-chan be my new fave now so MORE OF HER COMING RIGHT UP]

(*Links to Apple Music Japan, in English where applicable, of current year unless specified)

That Ryugujou song (which is the final song produced by Jououbachi's vocalist apparently and that's what this group is based on) has been stuck on my mind for half a week, the post on X which I reposted got more likes than the number of times I listened to this song so far. *dabs* Still, I did give a listen to amazarashi... to much disappointment so I gave one song and moved on. The re-air of "Assassination Classroom" on its 10th anniversary did introduce us to a couple of new theme songs though, and I took a liking to the opening theme so maybe I'll give them another listen someday. I did also listen to some Tsuki no Michikake also but that wasn't worth mentioning so... Also No Buses is going back to their usual style and not manipulated by Cwondo their vocalist?? The world is healing. *giggles*

Oh, and I think moving forward, I will give the Anime theme songs in itself over time, as I get brainwashed by them each episode I guess. No more formal reviews that kind of stuff since well, they aren't releasing things formally no more. What year is this even? *sigh*

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

Oh, there's also SWEET LOVE SHOWER excerpts from last year airing on their YouTube channel but as you can see I have a lot of things to catch up and write on so I'm not going to watch that. *shrugs*

Still, there are a couple of things worth mentioning here. I'm okay with VELTPUNCH taking their time they are literally fish on land and they can still make new songs and make me happy, so I'll wait as long as they want. *dabs* Nan-chan's EP sounds okay with half of the release revealed so far even though I'm not keen on the title song, and then what the heck is Kana-chan's new song? *laughs*

So for next week, if Nan-chan wants to disappoint me now is the time haha I'm sure her 417 Day live on the same week which likely won't feature these songs will be better as they are all love songs covers and I love her- Then I'll listen to Aoyama Sachiko (ex.NEGOTO) to see if I can like her songs once again, it has been a while.

Wow holy sh*t that Locomoto video game looks super cute- That's basically me playing that mobile game where you control trains but in full 3D and I'm going to die just doing the resource management. *giggles* Well, it'll be some time to play this on Switch since it's just out on Steam so welp. *laughs* Also, the Anime situation. Looks like I might *ahem* have to do extras this season once again because thanks to my own curiosity and wanting to see more shows this new season and still dealing with obligation of sequels (cringe) I will probably put some of them to watch... maybe on Fridays? Mondays are a bit too little only "Aharen-san" will air by then so uh, see you guys next time whenever that is I guess. *giggles* Maybe not though, but my Sundays will be rough, so we shall see. Until next time though, I will have an early weekend thanks to a public holiday so... maybe play a video game? GOG is putting stuff on sale now even though I can't play Locomoto I can play something else. Fingers crossed that replacement for my mini PC (main PC btw) is coming soon so I can actually do this? Please?

(Haha)
