Hey, I've got good news and bad news, which one you wanna hear first? *silence* Oh I guess it doesn't matter. *laughs*

The good news is, I AM BACK ON LINUX haha specifically I'm back on my external SSD of an OS on my replacement mini PC (which I can already feel its weaker previous gen single core CPU performance lol) after I troubleshooted yesterday morning on how to effectively migrate the boot drive into the new system and as of now the boot drive is now ON the disk and I was able to recover the OS where I left off... A MONTH AGO??? Bruh. I'll go for an ASUS barebones mini PC next time they have repair support here and not in f**king China- Oh, the 3 years warranty from Aftershock. *laughs*

The bad news is, our package might be delayed for the month. *sob* Well, Yuki-chan, you'll have to wait. But as what I have seen on the Anige-11 episode yesterday? Your photobook's gonna be good. *giggles* I have so many expectations for this flat broad I can't even

Anyways coming back to Anime and music, and finally I have time to clear things up, and thank goodness there's the holiday season next week and it's not Golden Week I don't live in Japan but technically I'm having it lol, so let's just do this first so that things can get back to normal!

Yeah, Wolfram, you're fired. *laughs* Hey, I won't say AI is taking over your job, but considering even the devil is forced to work with humans, I would say you may have to change careers, dude. *giggles* In this new episode where simping on Sullivan here is valid and I am not a pedophile lmao *cringe* (#KuroshitsujiWitch04) but seriously though Sebastian, you need to be more subtle before someone figures this out. *laughs* Well, for starters, he's living the life of being the new butler of the household. *laughs* Yeah, suck it, Wolf. *laughs* Seriously though, surprised how he is still not revealing his full-time job as a werewolf- Oops, spoiler alert. *giggles* But seriously, I don't remember much, from even the Ciel cries in the bed which yeah I would forget about his past if I could, but of course we should focus a little of Finnian's story because we have heard of the others before if you would recall, Meirin when she was a famous sniper and had to wear glasses to be fitting of her role as a maid, and Bard was just a war veteran and blew up bunkers instead of the kitchen lmao. Finnian's story though is a little more... rough, considering they came out of an experimental lab and had an instinct to escape despite being trapped in a room and the scientist just shot the last of their samples before they got found out, did not think of like, putting gas into the room would be safer? Bruh. *giggles* I'm not going to teach them to do their crazy inhumane experimentation down in the bunker of a lab, but we will teach Sullivan some English enough for her to talk to Ciel for a bit and not make her suggest whatever she did on the bed with him the previous time they were alone together. *laughs* Well, Ciel isn't in a condition to do that anyways so we shall ignore that for now. Sebastian also knew to lie about many things in this episode too, from how he formed a contract with Ciel and making Sullivan believe that he is also a victim even though (and if you need a recap) he's LITERALLY the one who started all this so to prevent THIS Ciel *wink* from being killed in an effort to be sold as a child slave or something- That era was weird, don't think about it too much. *cringe* Sebastian also lied about going to get wine in the cellar all because Wolf wasn't too keen on ensuring these foreigners are up to any mischief... because they are. *laughs* All in all, I think I vaguely remember some of these scenes and of course the Finnian backstory that one I know, but also what Sebastian and Snake will uncover just by going in the wrong direction to get more wine. *wink* It's the ritual area or something I don't know, but considering I did spoil it for you (or not) that Wolfram isn't just a normal human male or else this would have been the "Nagasarete Airantou" scenario where ALL the women in the village want him. *giggles* But considering NO ONE likes even the little kid Ciel, I don't think we have that chance. So that's suspicious already. *dabs* See you then if I'm any right, I don't remember anything anyways haha *shrugs*

P.S. "You shouldn't, Sullivan-sama! You mustn't wear male clothing, especially not someone else's garments." Yeah dude, we can't do cross-dressing in here even if our protagonist is mentally dead. *laughs*

P.P.S. "A butler must arrange an immaculate welcome for the master's return." Whenever that is, honestly. We have- THIRTEEN EPISODES??? Oh, I thought this was going to be a short arc. Maybe I was wrong. *shrugs*

Well well, what do we have here, 15-year-olds staying outdoors after curfew? *giggles* In this new episode where Urino is king and Osanai is queen or so we think (#Shoushimin14), looks like we have new management in the house- Well, in the newspaper club, and it's Urino. Welp. *laughs* Not like Itatsuchi will be doing anything important besides helping us do the sabotage haha yes looks like Kobato is in the case since somehow he cared more than Kengo would so we are just using his senior powers here, but looks like we have some progression, even if little. For starters, Urino wanted to pinpoint the next arson, hopefully also nab the criminal. But as Osanai told his boyfriend to be careful in the park nearby the train tracks... she already left it to burn. *giggles* How and when she did it of course if up to digression and obviously not like the boyfriend thinks she is doing it or even suspect she is anywhere near being the mastermind, so we shall leave it at that. Still, doesn't stop Kobato from doing what he aims to achieve by the next newspaper article release in a month which thanks to Urino's sidekick, might have changed the course just a little bit, even if any. Interestingly, the focus of the second half episode landed on the couple... which damn even I don't care lmao, of Kobato and Tokiko, where I guess welp for Kobato because he just guessed his girlfriend's choice in the family restaurant wrongly. WOMEN AMIRITE FELLAS WE CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND THEM *laughs* Seriously though, maybe that's why Tokiko's cheating on you, Kobato. And them. And then them also, how many the guys said she was dating? Does it even count as dating by now? I honestly don't know so you tell me. *giggles* Well, we won't know what happened to the paper as it's published, so let's find out next week I guess! *sigh* Haha I don't know how to describe this, but it's definitely more boring than last season. *giggles* Maybe it's also because we don't know the truth yet, or maybe it's just Tokiko just wanting sausages than tomatoes LMAO, but I think it's because the fires are making her hot. *laughs* That good enough of a joke now? Hey, I wanted this to be chill but it ended up more- I should go back and watch "Hyouka" and see if this is as boring. Ah hey, there was Satomi-chan and Kayanon back then it was a different time, okay? We can't ALL depend on Yomiya Hina now. *giggles* See you then.

P.S. "...whether the students of Funato High will continue to look forward to Funato Monthly, depends on the work put in by you new members." Damn, these poor guys who don't know once this gig is up they will be kicked out haha ah hey "But right off the bat, one of the new members already dropped out." Hey Harvard? I found a new student here this guy knows to leave before the actual fire happens LMAO *dabs*

P.P.S. "Has Urino-kun been doing his job lately?" Wow Kobato, that is more sus than when Yuki-chan asked Urino if he's doing well patrolling outside ngl "What do you mean when you asked if Urino has been doing his job?" HAHA SEE EVEN KENGO KNOWS

Yeah, dude's just RIPPED... his pants. *laughs* In this new episode where seeing your underwear doesn't violate Anime policies haha especially when it's not on women *taps brain* (#AharenSanS203) but I think we should just tell him though. *laughs* Yeah, even from the back, it's hard to cover it up. *laughs* That sound so wrong so I'll leave it to your interpretation, but seriously Raidou, get a new pair of pants. Probably a larger size because you keep ripping them it's making Reina-chan horny- Wait, what? *laughs* But yeah, I have a feeling this happened in season one also but Raidou's the one doing it... probably without the needle and thread but still. *giggles* The focus in this episode is the sports festival though. From Reina-chan not being great at running until she did and I'm glad they aren't any disappointments on that part apart from Ishikawa our MVP runner spraining his ankle in club activities CLEARLY knowing his presence is vital in the relay race for the class... well Raidou did it in his place so he wins I guess. *dabs* Still, like the comeback story is something, and yes I guess we should talk about Riku-chan. *giggles* She... is cute. *laughs* I know I too screencaps of Aharen Reina all day I even forgot Ren-kun was there lol I need to remember to be careful checking these later and not put him on the ladies montage LMAO, but Riku-chan has a lot going for her. From being awkward to like, not even joining the rest of the class to visit Ishiakwa in the hospital... yeah, she is going to be forgotten soon. *laughs* Yeah right, if it weren't for her we might not even get this season of Anime dude, so chill, girl. Excuse me, gyaru. *giggles* I'm just glad that her introverted yet open personality is living off me rent free right about now and yes Naobou has something to do with this lol she is the voice behind after all, but more importantly, it doesn't seem like it's that far off the perpendicular as we think. Of course she is not soft-spoken like Reina-chan, nor does she imagine weird stuff like Raidou even though I would argue she did at times unlike Raidou's sister who's mind is as clear as a monk haha, she is still overall a likeable character, and not like Reina-chan (or Ren-kun) would mind her presence after this long, so good for you, Tamanaha-san, I wish I had your life. *sob* All in all... I keep thinking that this series has nothing much to serve up besides a new gyaru, but I'm glad that they spent more time with Tamanaha... I'm not going to call her Riku-chan after we are 3 episodes in already lol, but yeah, she is like everything about me but a girl and stacked. *laughs* Also, you think her voice behind Touyama Nao feels this so hard she cries every night after the recording? *giggles* Any way this goes, I win. *laughs* Also, there's like, hints of plot progression here and there, and I really appreciate the romance developments even with Ooshiro-san for some reason(?) so yeah, maybe we will be going back to our roots talking about love like how the author did with the "Denkigai no Honya-san" series. *wink* We shall see, we shall see.

P.S. "Aharen-san started clinging on to my back." Damn. *laughs* But no Raidou stop having weird ideas please and thanks lol "I know exactly what this must mean." Oh well haha

P.P.S. "Tamanaha ****s, apparently." Yeah SHE SUCKS dude!! On what though, I'm not too sure. *dabs* "Little bro (Ren-kun)... you're really outing yourself as an extrovert here." Yeah ikr Ren-kun just flexing in front of this introvert I can't even also on Naobou so can we not? *laughs*

Hey I like beautiful women actually all women can I take photos of those things? Asking for a friend. *laughs* In this new episode where I have to decide whether this "thing" is worth watching for another 9 more episodes at the least (#mono03) and I think I can say... yeah, why not. I'm free every weekend. *giggles* And maybe I should talk about what I have liked so far. Firstly, I think I have an addiction for takuan eyebrows. *laughs* If you do not recall they are on Kotobuki Tsumugi Kiriyama and Amamiya respectively. Hey, it's no tradition, and it is in Anime only to be frank I don't think this will be an appeal point in real life, but hey, cute girls can do whatever, right? Speaking of which, this episode also feels like a warning of what is up next because this is a travel slice-of-life series, so you better be ready to see a lot of "familiar" spots the author has used over the years in their previous work (which has 3 seasons of Anime and got my sister hooked into it) so this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone if they are just going around down and the outskirts to, and this is the only difference, take photos. That's really it, dude. Even the excuse given to Akiyama that they are just here to take a look and then leave and have to deal with two dozen locations within 2 days is already a show that they can't be lazing around and camping *wink* unlike the previous work, but this isn't the point. The point is more of did you enjoy watching this? And well, the girls did. Even if it means going deep into the night to explore more... uh, occult locations haha I mean deers don't harm people not more than the monkeys here to be frank but they are around though. But yeah, pretty much all the advice I can give you on travel which I would give to my sis who is travelling as I write this, I can give you these guys too. Don't drive when you're tired and no energy drinks don't count, plan your journeys well so you don't have to deal with closed locations or missing out on them but to be frank these guys didn't have much time to prepare anyways, but still. It is still overall funny to watch them in this cast though despite the lack of that biker girl from last week. *giggles* They are on point with the cuteness, I can feel their tiredness but that's me on a chair watching Anime lmao, and hot springs I guess. We didn't see anything good though. *laughs* All in all... yeah, I'll be on this trip with them I suppose. I know this will go as far and long as "Yuru Camp" and this gets me worried, so I hope the characters will carry me forward for as long as this needs to go... Okay now I'm worried. *laughs* I'm also more worried about the references in this series, seeing that I only know of the one main girl in "Yuru Camp" riding on her scooter as I see these girls drive off in the mountains... I fear that I will offend anyone if I watched this without knowing of the author's previous work. *laughs* I hope not, this is still a lovely Anime at its finest. And maybe it'll get me to watch back on their- Nope. *laughs* This still gets the pass though, even if I'm not the highway. *laughs* Okay jokes over, I'm in and they didn't even have to bait me with a box of my favourite snacks. *giggles* Or the theme songs. Uh oh. *laughs*

P.S. "Why not upload a photo taken with your 360-degree camera to Goolugoolu Maps?" Don't, DO NOT DO THAT. *laughs*

P.P.S. "And take photos of Sacchan in those places. From head to toe!" Oh you are doing what she did to Makinohara, Kiriyama? "Are you a voyeur?" BOOM GOTTEM haha Shikishima is RUTHLESS dude

[Okay is it just me or is the opening theme song music video awesome and not like something cut off their recent adventures, and holy cr*p is Amamiya's voice actress Mikawa Haruna growing her cuteness in me somehow haha AND I might as well make it 3, the "monolog" vlog series online is also making waves, and then I realized that they just replaced Makinohara-senpai with the cat haha it's the same VA]

Hey, I may not be a fan of cooking OR eating, but if this is what it feels like to hang out with Anime girls then I'm- Wait. *laughs* In this new episode where girls inviting you to go eat with them is overrated normally it's just dudes and the stuff they eat aren't even great LMAO (#HibiMeshi03) we start our maiden journey with the gang. Well, almost. But we shall put that aside because damn without the 5th girl we are already having plenty of fun together, isn't it? Like Shinon's place. *laughs* Hey, I didn't suggest they do that, okay? But considering Shinon didn't even pay her friends to help her find the money she needs to survive the month AND the upcoming trip they intend to do for the weekends? Hey, I expect extra. *laughs* And overtime especially when Shinon just realized that it has been on her wallet all along. Hey good for her, at least she didn't spend it away like she thought she would. We are dealing with university students, right? At least 18-year-olds? *giggles* Moving on, we can talk about the trip to Mount Takao, why not. Not like I've been there anyways. *shrugs* Still, this is quite an eye-opener, from having to scale the mountain like Mokotaro did and not like these girls get rewarded or have their photo posted on the soba shop midway up, I must say this is not as fulfilling of a trip as I would have hoped. *laughs* Also, Tsutsuji just chugging on the energy drink is too real for a lot of people I can't even. Hey, at least mine's coffee, okay? And just the one in the morning. And decaf because I drink for fun or else a headache will creep up on me. *giggles* But more importantly, we gotta talk about our main girl Mako-chan, dude. According to Shinon-chan and we get to see this too as they plan for their trip and are in it too, Mako-chan got the serious eyes when she talks about food. Well, not like everyone else is as enthusiastic as her or as into Mokotaro as her haha I mean Tsutsuji might be into sheep but that doesn't mean they take energy drinks- ANYWAYS haha, and that's what I think keeps get added into the lore for these characters, it makes them so much better than I thought, even forgiving the mascot so far as I see them appear from time to time just to you know, be Mako-chan's spiritual animal(?) from time to time. Oh, I'm ranking this above "mono" already this season, just so you know. *laughs* It's the theme songs, dude. *giggles* Nah, it's also more on production considering this is an original series, and that they can pace their stories better? This is already winning even if they do the same content. But also, it's not so content heavy and they had time to show the appeal of each character here and there, so all is well, dude. *thumbs up* So yeah, I guess I'll be catching on the special videos online too lol this and "mono" are just leeching off views right about now, so maybe I'll update if I see anything better than Mokotaro's voice actress (who isn't even one anyways without this Anime BOOM GOTTEM) (oh she's just an eater I guess the staff won't have leftovers to eat now LMAO) which will get me into watching more of those, I guess. If this is the vibe you can get around to, then this is for you. It definitely is for me, no doubt, and that's why I gave chance in the first place even if I know no one in the main cast. *wink* Okay maybe Kakuma Ai- WHERE IS SAYA-CHAN ALREADY GEEZ *laughs*

P.S. "I'm so energy-fied." Wow this kid really has an energy drink addiction- Mine's called "coffee with milk" by the way. *laughs* "I live for ukulele and energy drinks!" And I live for coffee and sex- Wait. *laughs* "I don't mind after I finish my energy drink." BRUH THIS IS ME WITH COFFEE this original Anime is too real *laughs*

P.P.S. "At this rate, I'll be the only one who cannot come along!" Yeah right you think this is how this Anime works, Shinon-chan? Ah, fourth wall break. *laughs* "I don't really exercise, so I wonder if I'll be able to handle it." MAKO-CHAN STOP I'M BLEEDING INTERNALLY *laughs*

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

Well, these two are quite enough. *laughs*

Ushio Reira is a welcome listen coming in from Anime "Hibi Meshi", almost got me to buy her single with the B-side but nah, I can just reject it with a weak melody. *giggles* No Buses takes the lead this time around, and since they are liking and quoting people who liked their new release, I did too, you're welcome. *giggles* Still, this has its roots of alternative rock unlike their previous releases as I mentioned kinda ruined by Cwondo their vocalist and composer, so I'm glad they have reverted this progression, for better or for worse.

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

Goddammit, Co shu Nie, right after I gave the title song. *laughs*

And that's why I don't want to give new Anime theme songs which are available on pre-release and jump in on the hype only to realize I have to do this again a month or two later- Yes I know this is how Capitalism works but CAN WE NOT??? *laughs* 

We do have a lot of single songs to listen to next week even including a new digital single with more than 1 song from wacci-san? Damn. Well, let me deal with next week's releases and maybe I'll listen to them when I have the time.

Well, next week I will have time to listen to these even if it means chaos at work (haha) but let's hope not, or else we might just only listen to this on the public holiday a day later. *silence* I will find time especially for fuzzy knot which I will be more keen on since Ikimono... not like they are re-inventing the wheel again considering they already lack the tradition I was relying quite a lot on their ex-member Yamamoto-san. Welp. *laughs* I will still give it a listen though.

Imagine having to explain to an 18-year-old about the stuff I did here? I am SO GLAD I just showed her my Bluesky feed instead of... well, this blog, honestly. *laughs* As expected, the moment I mentioned about "voices behind Anime" and b*tch be like "you mean vocaloids?" and my blood pressure immediately went higher than my uncle who was missing out on the cousin's gathering yesterday just because. *laughs* Oh, and in case the new package can't arrive for the holiday season next week we LITERALLY have two public holidays clapped in the one day off I took which will make the postal service so cringe I can't even. *giggles* So good chances I'll take more days off next month, we shall see. *wink* Still haven't done much for my job prospects which I should soon, so see you guys then I guess? Haha no, not going to take action just yet, I can't do action. *dabs*

P.S. Yes I watched Anime instead of watching Hocchan's very first Instagram live which... she did not show face (BOO) but also just took the time to show us merch. Man, why did I sign up for this? *laughs*
