Okay now that I have paid the DLC for the new Rune Factory game just so I can romance Koga Aoi and THEN missed the village tournament because of her relationship event... Let's finish this so I can go back to playing a video game in Japanese again. *laughs*

Well I might not do that, but considering I have been playing this since Friday (and am totally enjoying it), this will likely be the next few weeks of my weekday nights before Locomoto arrives, since I don't think I will be able to sleep well knowing that I haven't unlocked the ability in game to hug Koga Aoi in a video game. Or Natsukawa Shiina. Or Ueda Reina. Or Waki Azumi- Let's just start with Anime and music. *laughs*

Oh yeah and if you haven't been jacking off this weekend because you were playing new video games that released along with the Switch 2 just because, or if you have one of them consoles you lucky f**k, then maybe take a break from those and let the stories below tell them for you. *laughs* I know right, video game dialogues are so long I can't even- You thought I would be used to this, but no. *giggles*

I mean, with Anne in the army why WOULDN'T you use the forest for kinky stuff? *giggles* I know right, what have they been doing all this time- Oh, military stuff. *laughs* In this new episode where even the Queen won't save you now (#KuroshitsujiWitch10), but hey I didn't say her underlings won't, so here they are. And as both sides send in more reinforcements, if this isn't the most exciting war in modern day, then nothing will- Go play War Thunder instead. *laughs* Still, let me unwrap the action for you guys just like how I watch those YouTube videos which explain world affairs because like this, it's to complicated I don't know where to start. For starters, let's hope Sullivan is safe. Yes, the real one. The fake one is already dealt with... or so Wolfram and the German army thinks. Thank goodness Ciel's terrible stepdad is here to save the day lol or else we will have no main dude for next week, and we are soon greeted with the butler yet again. I know right, when's Sebastian when you need him- Heck, when's Tanaka-san when you need him? We need this cannon cut in half, dude. *laughs* Speaking of which, we are now dealing with tanks, which is a relatively new thing for early 20th century Europe if you forgot about the timeline on this. And the Germans are eager to test this on... well, humans, for starters. That's how you know the Third Reich is coming. *laughs* ANYWAYS haha, the highlight of this episode is definitely and undoubtedly on the Panzer, and if you don't know military stuff and tanks that's alright, the Panzer wasn't that great anyways. *laughs* We just had to struggle a bit with Sebastian barely making a dent on the armoured tank even though that's quite a dent compared to any gun at that time- Remember, we didn't have anti-tank missiles yet, dude. We only got the devil. *laughs* But yeah, opened up the cockpit (where's the cock though-) (get it, because it's all female crew? *dabs*) and just burned it up from inside. Metal oven, indeed. Man, I want some pizza now. *laughs* All in all... well, the German shinigami have appeared, so you tell me. *laughs* I hope there's only one devil in this world. We can't afford to have more than one branch of that. *giggles* All in all, short yet exciting, is what I would say. They are definitely using the recap intros to extend the story arc so they can justify what looks like 13 episodes, so I guess we will have to wait a little longer to see what else unfolds. See you then.

P.S. "Hilde, no, the Imperial Army, intended to kill (Sullivan) all along!" Yeah Wolfram no shit she is just a scientist. And you know what we do with scientists if they don't obey. *cringe* And they migrate just like great scientists do- I know right, did Sullivan learn from Einstein? *wink*

P.P.S. "(Ciel) has got some master plan. And our butler's a talented bloke!" You mean Tanaka or the devil...? *laughs* Because the old man is also talented, you saw him cut a gun bullet in half. 

I keep forgetting whether we're in the flashback or present day just because both incidents are so similar, and that pillar box effect does not help in making that difference. At least put the sepia filter, dude. *giggles* In this new episode where killing your reputation in middle school for curiosity is better than killing a cat lol (#Shoushimin20), I don't think we got anywhere in this case. *laughs* Okay, at least they did. The ones in middle school. *laughs* I mean, Kobato now is still in a wheelchair so I doubt he can leave the place anytime soon, but we are making progress, even if a little. From the flashback arc though, we are advancing much more. Back then, of course we already know why Osanai will be in the scene of the crime you can figure out from season one you are welcome haha, but that won't explain why Fujidera and Hisaka have been lying this whole time. They were of course covering for the fact that there was a third person on scene, and I know even I shouldn't bug in someone's personal affairs... hey, what if Hisaka had an elder sister? It's a high school uniform so most likely not cheating on his girlfriend for an older girl. *laughs* I know right, not saying "older woman" sounds weird. Kids already going for older stuff these days? *laughs* Anyways, looks like we are supposed to not know who she is so far, but thanks to Kobato's relentless asking of Hisaka's friends and we know he will be hated by him as soon as he leaves the hospital and I don't mean his friends lol, we now hear the truth from Fujidera himself, citing that he just happened to see his senpai hanging out with some chick we don't know of. *shrugs* Haha that's not as sus as Yuki-chan in any way, but I think that's all we got so far. All in all... I can't believe this mystery series is as mysterious and yet so deceptive at the same time. Very different from "Hyouka" I would say- I mean, same author, right? You would have know. *giggles* Also, we still have NO F**KING IDEA what the incident in middle school had to do with the current one which involved Kobato, and more importantly, had Osanai Yuki in them. Yeah, can't be sus if you are as dumb as I am figuring all this out. So yeah, I'm going to let this play through. No more guesses- Do you think Hisaka's motivation to live was of that girl?? *laughs* Alright alright I'll stop.

P.S. "That's the second time I've been called that, but that isn't my name." Then what do you prefer? "Psychopathic revenge criminal", dude? *laughs*

P.P.S. "We're trying to find the hit-and-runner. You, for your vain sense of glory. I, for revenge." This series in a nutshell haha no really though this is it

Oh heck, why did we have to change homeroom teachers? *laughs* I know right, I think Tobaru-sensei would be a great fit for this class. *laughs* Alright I think we should cut her the slack and let another one take the can in this new episode (#AharenSanS209), because remember, we have to censor all the blood for the Chinese audience. *giggles* So yeah, new teacher is in for the new school, she is well-informed of the esteem from the one and only *laughs* and then it all fell apart. Typical. *laughs* Okay, about this new teacher Henzan. They just put Uzaki-san in this Anime, huh. *laughs* Like no really, her ending her sentences with a suffix is of a stereotype I don't want to explain, so go figure out yourself. *laughs* Still, the teacher is a newbie so she relies a lot on others to guide her even if it's stacks of books somehow lol just rely on AI *cringe* haha but yeah, when it came to student problems and stuff, seems like she could only take a jab and then just lose out mainly because she understood of the problems Tobaru faced when dealing with this class. Well, specifically that couple. *laughs* Also she's right, mind not as clear as Miyahara right beside them who just you know, has rack. *laughs* Speaking of which, Oshiro also has them but she's just thicc so I'll leave that alone. *silence* Two Cs dude. *laughs* Still, talking about her life goals huh... and yes, shout out to the flashback back in season one where we were reminded of her meeting Reina and it changed her world... which I assume was not related to why she wants to go overseas to learn to be a beautician JUST LIKE HER MOM (lol) (bruh), and is also not related to Aragaki who she met in a middle school karate club tournament and trashed her with... I don't know karate fighting styles. *laughs* Still, being a sports prodigy like her is great, and she has a lot of people looking up to her. Or ruined by her because she wins at EVERYTHING. *laughs* Alright, jokes aside though, if all you have in life is someone to look up to, then if they die you will die too? That shouldn't be the way. *shrugs* Oh, Oshiro said it, yeah that. *laughs* Yeah, do you believe I wrote some of these before I finish watching till the end? Haha anyways, I like how this is a running joke just because we know Oshiro is also very fixated at protecting the one girl that is Aharen Reina who taught her how to be cute... not that she is anyways. *shrugs* All in all... wow I can't believe I am touched by a Oshiro-san focus episode. *giggles* Yeah, too much esteem, dude, I'm going to bleed out too. *laughs* It's so far also interesting to see "esteem" developing in many ways than other I would argue in this second season, and I think it has served itself justice compared to the first season which was just jokes galore. At least this did give us more couple moments and character development, so I really wonder we just keep doing this so we can lead to the couple... I don't know what they can do we can air on TV, just ask Tobaru-sensei for approval first, yes? *laughs*

P.S. "It's like my chest is tight. Don't tell me..." YOU NEED A LARGER BRA~!! *laughs* Okay I can make jokes too Anime

P.P.S. "If you win, then you have to keep doing karate!" Wait, no. *laughs* "Couldn't you just lose on purpose?" I mean, what do you think? *giggles* I mean, winner gets to order the loser around so *shrugs* 

Haha ah hey, I didn't choose to go outdoors, Kako-chan did. Yeah, just imagine I'm drinkin' the tea like Shikishima. *laughs* In this new episode where the sun is unbearable but not as much as this series haha OOF (#mono09), this series is essentially doing what I hate most now: travelling. *pukes* Haha I guess I have a whole review to do, huh. Okay, now to be more enthusiastic than the ladies in this series we first gotta ditch that motorbike in summer lest it gets even hotter just wearing a biking suit and safety pads for protection. *laughs* Wait wait, let me do that again. We gotta ditch that hot weather and go to cooler spots in the country like Kamikochi (between Nagano and Touyama) (Not Nao haha as in prefectures) which has beautiful mountain views, great forestry... and great napping spots. *laughs* I'm still surprised how the 4 of them haven't been eaten by bears yet. *laughs* All this while Kako-chan is suffering just to join you guys AND you all haven't even set up the tents by sundown?? Bruh. AND we missed the eating out timings of the eateries?? BRUH. *laughs* Hey, I know it's summer but can we not make our terrible plans snowball until the point that we have to wake up at 6am in the next morning just to catch the bus to Kurobe? *shrugs* Haha speaking of which, I am with Amamiya in that I don't know why those women can cry to a dam construction considering how much ecological damage it does since it wasn't regulated decades ago HAHA ah hey, sure hard work comes in different forms and- Can we just eat up the green curry please? It's getting cold. *laughs* Last but not least, they went to see a ski jump ramp or something I don't know what you really called that, is it for skiers or...? *laughs* Remember, all these just to take photos and/or give Akiyama writing inspiration for her next work which will NOT involve a cat. Okay, just not involving Taishou. *giggles* All in all... I think I'm changing the term "ladies" or "women" here to "kids". *laughs* Hey, living the life as kids, eh? What fun. *giggles* But seriously though, they are having fun, and time does go by real fast with this series, but my problem is still rather fundamental and I don't think even my sis who watches the "Yuru Camp" series can fix that: It's a show for travellers. And I'm not one of them. Welp. Boarded on the wrong bus. *laughs* Anyways, I'll still see this through, it still has its moments, and it'll help further my weak knowledge of Japan especially of Yamanashi Prefecture, so I'll take that at the least.

P.S. "It's such a waste to take only crying faces with such a beautiful view." Yeah and these 4 women just cried out more water than the Kurobe Dam can process in a year LOL

It may be work to the secretary, but it sure was fun for us! *dabs* In this new episode where the school festival isn't as cool as the club room haha we are still stuck in summer huh (#HibiMeshi09), hey we can still do the school festival despite the hot weather. We just need some greens. *giggles* No, not the money we covered that already Shinon is going to debt because the secretary refused to recognize them as an actual club and you need money to build that under floor heating in the club room. *laughs* Yes, we are talking about the vegetables needed to make the soup curry they are selling in the festival! Yeah, fancy this small club of a club doing real things, huh. It's as if they are more normal than Shinon. *dabs* Haha alright we should not burn on her she did bring us a couple of things into the mix which will make this curry especially... special. Firstly, the Agriculture Club from previous episode are here to help us out! Saku-chan is here to provide some ingredients in exchange for their labour- Oh, no? We just say it's made by them? Okay. *laughs* And then they still helped us decide on what meat to put in too? What a nice world, isn't it? So let's not be so worried about people and just talk to them normally, Nana-chan. *laughs* Yeah, she's not listening with that traffic cone on her head. But yeah, with many things that made this club whole apart from the two housewives which will make them desperate for more if we didn't just have enough money to open for one day lol TV reference no one else will get, Shinon did a lot of planning for coordinating everything including the taste-testing session lol. Tsutsuji came up with disguises- Uh, I mean, costumes for the group which for her is just her usual sheep hoodie and I legit thought Nana-chan will be in that too because why not the budget will be lower than a cheap cardboard cutout of a pink rabbit haha, and Nana-chan... let's just say she helped made this two-day affair into one. *dabs* It was so good, they got a lunch crowd and they can already clear up the stall. Now THAT is a good meal's worth. All in all... hey, one day is better than two days, right? *laughs* Oh I'm not talking about pitching tents. *laughs* ANYWAYS haha these girls can't get the joke so it's fine, but yeah, school stuff, people. Again, once again emphasizing that despite being in a university setting, we are getting EVERYTHING about this slice-of-life gourmet series locked and loaded EVERY DAMN WEEK, how is this original Anime just better already? *shrugs* Haha okay this might be an over exaggeration, but they nailed it, in my very humble opinion. Yeah Mako-chan you can be proud you did good, Mokotaro approves. *giggles*

P.S. "So how much can we rake in with one of these (school festival) stalls?" LOL Shinon-chan what money you guys don't make SHIT- "I don't want to waste the opportunities this club gave us, and I feel like it would be a chance to make some nice memories together." Kawaii~ But yes, for the money. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Can we really do that?... Uh, wait. What would we be agreeing in return?" HAHA KUREA-CHAN KNOWS lol this is some Shinon level negotiation I have seen this before

[Moeno Azuki no Meshi Umashi!! Yay more Saya-chan haha and now making curry? Uh oh. *laughs* Once again Saya-chan's humour shines through the light when she says "maybe I have a talent in cooking" and then say "what we talking about" when asked if she cooks in private LMAO JOKES and that's why she's great and way better than the curry- I'm having curry for dinner. *laughs*]

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

(**In bold includes songs added into personal music library)

Wow this is a long list. *laughs* Yes, I took a screenshot (Edit: I lost it lol) of this in case I missed anything listed above, which will include those I did not give a thumbs up on. Yes, they are all listed here.

In a nutshell, I was initially impressed by Otonose Kanade-chan if you know she's half Korean and came to Japan to be a VTuber, then it's probably me putting songs in my music library throughout the week for *turns into Yachiru mode* Smelly Orca, Gorilla Angel, Duck (haha), Shishiro Botan (lol I don't know her enough to know her nickname), "YES MY DARK", and Mangirl Female Virgin Killer, in that order I think. *laughs* I gave up giving Circus because even if I like jokes, I can't stand her not being serious even though the EP is her most serious yet. *giggles*

I will do more next week but of the ones I know of which will DESTROY this competition here, and that's why we do this first. You're welcome. *dabs*

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

Oh I'm definitely hype with Suchmos' new release even if the one song currently revealed isn't that impressive. And this is nothing compared to Mocho's new single title haha what do you mean "make me you love me" I already love you-

Cringe stuff aside haha, it's interesting to see Rika-sama pick up pace for her solo music career, and many artists getting opening theme songs for Anime, though I'm doubting more on Ikimonogakari because Mizuno-sensei isn't exactly great in writing songs like this- I LITERALLY rejected every opening theme song in the past few years from them. *shrugs* Okay maybe not the one lol but even then it took a long time to like it tbh.

(*Release type in square brackets, else assume single song release)

So for next week, mainly focusing on 3 artists because their albums are going to be LONG haha maybe not for AZKi-chan we shall see, but we will also see if they can get my attention somehow. Chances are, they will. *dabs* Oh, and I'll listen to Co shu Nie for good measure, see if they can get me with the new single B-side which I also won't be reviewing because Anime releases only come in limited editions now. *silence*

Now that I have missed twice on Naganawa Maria-chan's livestreams (yep that is her real voice) including the one last night but we know why *giggles* I think it be better if I start following her social right now so I can... I don't know, she doesn't show her face so- She'll be great background audio at work though so maybe that. *laughs* I feel like she's doing this alongside her yearly commitment to the "Say You to Yoasobi" series airing for her every Sunday night with Serizwawa Yuu, but hey if you want to see her then go watch that instead. Not live though, welp. *laughs* See you guys next time then, and hopefully, HOPEFULLY by then I would have found out (without a guide) whether I can do polygamy in that new Rune Factory video game hehe bye

P.S. Besides getting confused by the Virtual Game Cards feature which is also in the OG Switch (and that you have to unload it to buy the DLC pack *pukes*), I shall show a little more about the new Rune Factory game in screenshots because if I were to show you the frame rate and draw distance you might think this was developed using the Pokemon Scarlet Violet (and not Unreal) game engine just buy a Switch 2 on impulse from a scalper, and we can't have that. *laughs*

So, enjoy the review of my first 3+ days with this game! Spoiler free I would hope unless you can read Japanese lmao
