Let's get this done and over with so I can go play the new Rune Factory game- Nah maybe not today, I got ruined by the game yesterday enough to take a break from it. *giggles*

Wow, we are already so close to the end of the Anime season, huh. Well, hope the shows next season will be better! *laughs* Okay just joking, the new shows are actually not that bad, and the sequels are holding up- NOT YOU SHOUSHIMIN *laughs* ANYWAYS haha, let's talk about Anime and whatever not new songs I have listened to this week lol, and then maybe I'll share a bit about my progress in that video game. *giggles*

Oh, it was burnt inside of the tank. Guess that's what you call hot sh*t- In this new episode that I don't think "hot tits" will make this any funnier lol (#KuroshitsujiWitch11), they are burning a lot of women in there, so I would like to mention that this isn't my opinion about women. *giggles* Anyways moving on I know the shinigami also has a women but just like Ciel they were well disguises *wink* so let's just talk about the not so hot stuff. Okay, there's the hot dagger but wait first, we gotta talk about how these guys managed to escape. Or even before that, how we got WAY too much action from just Tanaka against I forgot her name already I only remember Hilde who just died in the tank. *laughs* But dude, he dealing close range and when she wants to escape she gets sniped? Yeah, motherf**ker doesn't even need a spotter by the way (which modern snipers do nowadays), so yeah, say what you will but I like this combination with Tanaka already. But yeah, he is getting old so they can only play for this long which is good enough. The others did manage to reach an old train station nearby though which is likely how they got the village in stock, but as they prepare to leave, well well look who arrived to save the day. And that's pretty much what the episode is about so if you haven't watched it for yourself you are entering spoiler territory right about now but yeah Wolfram essentially saved us from that b*tch from just now. *laughs* And Hilde is somehow around after being burnt alive inside the tank which is fair the German shinigami didn't report her dead, but yeah, Wolfram knew he had to pay the price for being a traitor. I mean, why wouldn't he? He trained his whole life just like those kids in "Neverland" but his life is worse lol it is the Army I guess, and then when he was promoted to First Lieutenant and given a cool name... he had to server some kid? Which he can't even punish? Bruh. *laughs* I would argue though, that this mission has dragged on way too long, that Wolfram has essentially been trained by Sullivan, so to speak. I know right, telling him to then be a soldier after what he has been doing a fatherly role to this kid? Bruh. He is a man, and a good one knows family when he sees it. *sob* And so did my tears so don't ask me if I want family, my parents are good enough. *laughs* All in all... *sob* How do you tell a kid to not get attached to you after you spent so much time with them? I don't know, I'm in my 30s and I'm still single so you tell me. *laughs* Still, letting Sullivan having to deal with this in the same age as Ciel is kind of ironic in a way, and yeah keeping Wolfram alive is anything but a way to keep Sullivan alive since I won't think the Queen will be giving her own butler anytime soon, and not like Wolfram can go back on his old days, so we should be fine for now. I think we are near the end but we still have like 2 more episodes to go because someone in production thought it'll be funny to lengthen the season lol, so let's see Sullivan make her appearance in Buckingham Palace and having to apologize for what she has done. *cringe* Don't worry dear girl, you aren't the worst offender in this war just yet. *wink*

P.S. "Who is this man? He can get in close without making a sound?" I know I don't speak from experience but isn't this what girls say when approached by a train molester? *giggles*

Yeah this is essentially the "just ask" solution. Well, not ask the victim as they won't want to tell the truth so *shrugs* haha so maybe we can get some conclusion to this in the new episode (#Shoushimin21) or else I'm going to go crazy? *laughs* Okay Kobato would've left the hospital by then so maybe we don't need the flashback afterwards. *giggles* And looks like we don't have to, because we finally found out who the culprit is. Spoiler alert from right here on, it's the nurse. Who didn't have a name tag. I mean, I would've thought they purposely made this look like snippets from the current day because they had to compare it with the flashback, because I didn't think much when Kobato had to meet the father... or so Kobato thinks but okay this one is likely true because he got slapped by the son so I would assume they are in cahoots, but more importantly, the snippets are repeating. Almost hypnotically repeating. Apart from the occasional doctor and psychiatrist visit, it's just Kobato eating his meals, getting his water, watering the plant in his room... Wait, what? Yup, that was a right things to do apparently, and the motive is obvious enough once he stayed awake this time around at night when Osanai went to visit him as she always does but since he was always asleep she can only leave notes that the nurse can read... so you see the problem, she had to see him when he's awake. I would've woke up to be frank, I wake up a few times every night even with the Melatonin dose. *laughs* Anyways, Osanai cheeky as usual sent in tracking bugs in every gift she had, from the chocolate to the plushie which apparently was a distraction lol, but this was also how she knew Kobato was kept sleeping all night despite his quick recovery. And why the nurse was the suspect? I mean, aren't you doing only day shift? Why are you here at night- Uh oh. *giggles* Because despite the nurse's very efforts on keeping him down physically, she wasn't able to keep his friend's mind thinking of why this is so routine even if Kobato is slated for discharge real soon. Yeah I know right, especially given Kobato's inquisitive mind, he would've wanted to go to assist in police investigations earlier. *giggles* So, and why the nurse. Because she's also named Kobato, as with name tags where they put their family name. She also made sure no one would be able to identify her outside of the room, and kept her name tag with Kobato around so you know, he wouldn't suddenly think of the incident 3 years ago and thought the one today was done by her- Wait, what?? Yes, ladies and gentlemen, and now I think we can talk about why Kobato thinking his conversation with the father was not real. Whether it's real or not doesn't change its meaning, the incident 3 years ago was undoubtedly someone doing a hit and run on TWO Kobatos, Shotaro who was the one we knew of in Kobato's middle school, and his sister Eiko in the high school they managed to narrow down. Assuming that the Hisaka family is prestigious or has some fame, then the intention whether it is to hire some dude to warn Kobato of investigation of Shotaro's family problems, OR the dad actually having to come in to tell Kobato to buzz off his family affairs, was to protect the family reputation or cover something up for their own sake. *gets Taiwanese drama PTSD* Then again, now that the Hisaka family reputation is all turned into dust... *laughs* Hey, I hope there was CCTV in Kobato's hospital room. *cringe* Or not, maybe backing up the wheelchair so far back but not out of the room was a mistake. *laughs* Oh heck, I'm sure they will be fine, but for the Hisaka family? Oh boy, did you guys do the revenge *gets deja vu* worse than, or I would argue at least as bad as the one Osanai Yuki here. Let's see what happens in the season finale next week.

P.S. "You're telling me to back off." I mean, if Hisaka's dad came in and wants to chat with you, I'm pretty sure he wants you to stop investigating, right? "Of course not. I'm simply worried about you." LOL what are you, my dad? F**k off lol my dad doesn't even care about me- *cringe* Also Kobato's dad didn't care about him either so what's the problem with dads these days? *laughs*

I'm pretty sure they ran out of soft voice actresses to voice the Aharen siblings and had to get someone else to voice Ren-kun in this Anime. *laughs* Happy birthday, Hidaka Rina. *laughs* In this new episode where life is unlike a musical like we think it is lol (#AharenSanS210), I cannot believe they got Inorin to do a musical bit considering she never appears in one. *laughs* Oh, and ChanRina voiced Eru, I know of that don't worry about it. *giggles* So, the musical. *laughs* I mean, we know as usual the troupe will end at some point and yeah I guess offending the imouto again is the funniest thing to do and dear author I hate you now HOW F**KING DARE YOU haha, but yeah, I gotta say they have been doing bits here and there for the laughs but THIS IS GOING TOO FAR DUDE. *laughs* I also like how they got Inorin to not just do a musical bit as I mentioned earlier, but also speak in her own voice afterwards doing... whatever Anime princess reference I don't know of. *laughs* I'll just always assume it's a reference now, we don't have any more original ideas. *laughs* So yeah, I'm going to ignore that and rather just be sad that Naobou didn't join in the gig is alone while whatever is happening in the school canteen enough to kill two teachers at once. *giggles* I'm staying in the classroom with Tama-chan, by the way. *laughs* And I think the study session is great it's whatever Tama-chan wanted but looks like no one is dumb enough to ask questions here and not like Tama-chan is there to make it looks like she's dumb she won't have the social bravery to do so lol she is basically me IRL, but more importantly, we finally got to take a break and play the Game of Life. *giggles* Please, I'm not going to cover up whatever reference this is going to be, and although the stakes are higher (literally) I can foresee more of the jokes landing right here on the wrong spaces, and even talking about adult life and how an animator job is a prequel to getting a better job down the line *cringe* but don't worry, I'm sure Raidou covered most of them already just by being a gambler. *laughs* And somehow they still had time to throw in some drama between Ishikawa and Satou- WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED HERE DUDE *sobs* why...? I don't know how to start asking, to be frank. So Satou was already rejected some time ago? And they had to play friendly so the group won't notice? Bruh, what is this, "Toradora!" or some sad romance series? *cringe* All in all, as usual their jokes are as outlandish as their emotional moments, so let's take this time to enjoy every episode of such fun before the exams take over and we all are sad of remedial lessons. *laughs* Looks like we aren't doing that here everyone here is smart or can pass their exams lol, so we are concluding the season with a school festival! Dude, I want to look forward to something but if the main couple were to continue fooling around, this might be the worst Anime sequel of the year. *laughs* See you then and hope they don't disappoint at the not jokes. 

P.S. "You drop your phone and the screen shatters. Lose 200,000 yen?!" Can confirm that's an iPhone 16 Pro Max. *laughs* "Spend too much on your favourite idol." *cringe* Haha refer to this week's package for reference please and thank you.

P.P.S. "Are you guys really happy crossing the goal with a piddly twenty mil? You think you'll be comfortable in old age with that chump change?!" Yes. "There's something nice about a steady income." See? Haha Satou you poor child you have no idea.

Yeah that intro title is about right for what this series is about. Just... without the photography. *laughs* In this new episode where everything is true to life so far besides the ghosts and coolness because this weather is HOT haha (#mono10), did you listen to the Amamiya character song preview? That was hot too- Okay, the episode. *giggles* Can we just not talk about occult stuff and/or Kurokuma-sensei for one episode though? Oh, we got one less of them now. *cringe* Yeah, the worst part is it's not Kurokuma we are missing. *gasp* We better move on or else the ghosts are going to get to me in this hot weather. *silence* Anyways coming back, we are talking about soba noodles it seems, and boy through the previews on social I legit thought we are doing "nagashi soba" but that is kind of a long draw (get it?) because it's somen noodles but well I wanted to make a wrong connection so you're not welcome *giggles* but yeah, the girls get to do a control test using cheap convenience store (which by the way would taste better than what you have at your local not-Japan Japanese establishment *cringe*) before they went to the real place Togakushi to make their own even, that's cool. The girls did have a lot of fun making it as much as it tasted even better, just to realize that yeah, the chefs at these establishments do this every day. No machine because it will be too consistent. No new guys to inherit this skill. Yeah, maybe career planning for the high schooler team should consider putting this in their list, to be real frank with ya. *shrugs* And then, there's the Ninja Mansion. I think I have heard and seen this in Anime and/or in real life before because as much as it's useless to follow Japanese voice actresses in social media lol got me good there, it's also great to learn of something that Shikishima somehow knew watching too much ninja shows on TV. *laughs* Oh yeah, she totally knew that angled room was an illusion and the exit is just right in front of the entrance, she knew. *giggles* And then we got a glimpse of the end of the summer holidays for the JKs of course, catching up with homework and stuff, Akiyama having to work again to catch up to her next deadline hehe this is all research for that after all, Kako driving up to Hokkaido after quitting her day job... Wait, what? *laughs* All in all, a simple episode without much of the occult stuff getting in the way is great, to be real honest with ya. Again, didn't expect to see that genre going in I wasn't warned enough by the way I thought I was walking into the Ninja Mansion haha, and now I'm trying to find the exit. Which will appear in about 2 weeks so let's see what it's going to be! Please no second season I don't need more of this AAAHHH *drops into hole*

P.S. "I wonder what's the difference between a sacred tree and a regular tree?" Oh, the sacred one must have chick appear out of that and then tell you the main character to help her garner popularity so it can grow- That's a "Kannagi" reference from 15 years ago and I'm not sorry for mentioning that again *laughs*

P.P.S. "It's crazy you got 15 days off." Haha must be all the weekend overtime you did- "I quite my job." Oh. *laughs*

Hey call me old pervert but I'm not yet certified so you can't arrest me, I have done nothing wrong. *laughs* In this new episode where the best kind of trips are those that involve food hehe don't quote me on that (#HibiMeshi10), but now it doesn't involve Mako-chan so this is already over before it started. *laughs* I know right? See you guys next week. *giggles* Thanks to Mako-chan coming up with the ingenious idea of getting her friends to join her at her hometown and yes that includes Shinon-chan you ungrateful child go visit your parents already lmao, don't ask who is Yunacchi and Hiyocchi. I don't know them either. *laughs* No, not Ogura Yuna and Hikasa Youko, dude! DO NOT SEARCH THE FORMER NAME UP I just don't know of a voice actress with that name. *cringe* Anyways, this episode is a lot about nostalgia as it's about food which is the topic of this series, so let's. I know right, sticking to the topic and not coming up with weird stuff that sticks to you all the way? Yeah, even the rice cooked on the traditional house at Mako's grandmother's old home still doesn't stick as bad as "mono" and their spirits. *laughs* So, about the hometown visit. Kurea-chan was tired from the driving because how can we even, EVEN rely on the one Oshinko to drive all this way, so while she took a nap and Shinon went out to visit her childhood friends with Mako-chan, Tsutsuji and Nana were left to take care of lunch. Hey, if you thought me saying that it's literally a miracle that it happened on social, you should be able to also get the hint that it's not happening, even though they went all the way to just start the fire on the stove with just FLINT AND STEEL!! *laughs* (Yeah, that's a Minecraft meme) I'm not going to explain all the vocabulary in this old home just because, but hey if you really want to learn a little more about the culture, then this house is a good example of history and everything in between, even seeing Mako-chan cook up a feast with just hot pot and skewered fish and dumplings... Damn. *laughs* No, no dumplings joke, not doing that this is a pure show. *giggles* What's also pure is Mako-chan meeting up with her elementary school friends, being cringe saying she doesn't have friends since then haha *cringe* but also that just hanging out with them is just great, especially when they went to that dessert establishment they couldn't go as kids just because they can't afford even one parfait... together. *sob* Very nostalgic, don't think I could ever do this again with friends- Mine is more of a single player experience throughout? *laughs* No, no intention of making a multiplayer sequel. *giggles* All in all, such a chill vibe, I wish we were at that chill season of Autumn already. *laughs* No really, this is so damn hot right now, I cannot imagine even eating hot pot. You gotta give me more episodes of yukata and whatever the girls did in summer. *giggles* We are also near the end of this original series, and Mako-chan has been diligently making memories with her new bunch of friends, so I wonder what's going to stop us from doing so. MORE adventures and memories? Sign me up, dude. I meant watching this Anime, I can't deal with that in real life just like Nana-chan. *laughs*

P.S. "Simply boiling water used to take all this work." Yeah, and nowadays we have electric appliances that can get you boiling water down to iced water with just one button? We're living the life, people. "We just use this torch." Speedrun strats right here baby, Nana and Tsutsuji did it in hard mode and under level. *laughs*

[Moeno Azuki no Meshi Umashi!! Okay I have never seen it before too but damn "daikon oroshi" is essentially the equivalent of doing Latte Art but on a hot pot, but with shredded radish. You can watch the video to find out more I'm just here for Shimano Hana as usual. *giggles* Oh, and we boiled radish Mokotaro good, we nailed that part at least. *laughs* Still amazing to see Moeno Azuki just having her own separate pot though, she is a damn eating freak, dude. Probably not having hot pot later but she did end her serving with udon so maybe that. *wink*]

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

Wait, what happened to Sui-chan?? *giggles*

So yeah I got busy as in busy with giving more mainstream artists a chance, so Hoshimachi will have to wait for next week which I will no doubt impress me whenever I give their latest album a listen. Meanwhile, Watame-chan is already making me happy and I have given Polka her own space in my music library so you're welcome, and I must listening to AZKi is a mistake. *laughs* I don't know, I'm not keen on her singing voice I guess, and the songs aren't holding up besides one of her title songs from last year.

I will also give Murder by Death's... "final" album another listen next week and will update then.

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

Trust me, I'm already sold on the "mono" character album so far even with 2 song previews. *giggles* Yes, it's the Koga Aoi Effect, thanks for asking. *laughs*

I also just missed cinema staff's announcement last Sunday so I'm putting it here because I'm looking forward to this more than I would expect, this year is a** until this was announced. *giggles* I will also take a listen to Kana-chan's appearance on Sound Inn S which would likely be better than Akarin's last month just because it had a better track list? Yeah, we shall see.

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

Do you TRULY think I care about another Ten-chan kayoukyoku cover album? No, I do not. *laughs*

Otherwise, I will take some time to listen to Sui-chan's album as I did with Watame's and I am not sorry for not caring about AZKi's album your voice just didn't get me as much, and I can't wait to be disappointed with overrated pop tunes which I will no doubt give a couple of them just because. *laughs* I know right, how can I even contradict myself like this.

Wow I just double-checked what I had to watch next season and OH BOY. *laughs* It's going to be the same as this season with THREE sequels in line so what else is new. *giggles* And that's why I don't approve of sequels I don't have a lot of time to watch them now and I want to watch new things. *shrugs* Anyways, I feel like I'm lagging behind the music library update AND the photo scanning update if you would recall I just reviewed a package which got me almost FIFTY used bromides and whose fault do you think it is? *laughs* So yeah, excuse me while I ignore this and that video game and do this first before I also forget about ChanRina. *silence* I promise you, she is my phone wallpaper for the weekend, I do not forget people I like. *wink* See you guys next time then, and until next time... maybe we talk about the video game a little more? I will do this weekly until Locomoto comes out in 2 weeks I guess.

P.S. Maybe I get more work leave end of the month so I can finish this HAHA hey I don't know when specifically Locomoto will release so maybe I spend the day before finishing this too *wink*

P.P.S. This week on "Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma" haha weekly storytelling time!! Spoiler alert you have been warned if you still want to experience this for yourself:
