Well, all great things had to end some time, and even though I had a blast just these 2 weeks, I know, I KNOW, this can't get any better- Wait, what about writing fanfics next month, me? *giggles*

Also, everyone's back this week!! I mean Anime, my past is not coming back to me. *sob* Anyways haha, there has been a lot of thoughts in my mind, so if you aren't looking at doujinshi I recommended or looking at me talking about a voice actress magazine in half a decade, then please do those!! You don't want to hear of my life decisions or lack thereof. *laughs*

So let's spend less time sleeping and more time playing video games haha I will talk about Story of Seasons in the outro, but first, let's watch some shows!

How is this dude just, f**king horny seeing cleavage and hearing what sounded like a toilet flush in the bathroom?? *laughs* Man, I'm a perv but not as much as Kazuya in this new episode (#KanoKari47) but I think this should be behind his (d*ck) head for a bit because we got more drama to talk about!! We are at the 2nd day of this 3-day 2-night vacation in case you forgot, but uh, Mami-chan has already got her patience bottle up too long, it seems. She didn't rat out everyone, not yet, but she likely will, sooner or later. *silence* SO I GUESS WE DON'T GET TO SEE THEM LEAVE TOGETHER TOMORROW- *laughs* But instead of talking about how Mami-chan is losing patience just seeing what was Chizuru giving Kazuya's mom a ring and of course she's going to charge it to the guy just so we can repair the mom's weak heart for losing the heirloom to someone who doesn't intend to be the next in line. Wife, I mean. *giggles* Yeah, and that's why Chizuru is like, avoiding everyone if possible even at breakfast lol. I mean, if Chizuru puts herself alone and avoid Kazuya, then she'll have to deal with Mami-chan. If she doesn't, then she has to deal with Kazuya. I don't know which one is worse, you tell me. *laughs* Yeah also, she still has to answer the same question: You wanna date Kazuya or not? No, you don't get any answers. *laughs* Then again, we like to think like, Mami-chan is here to wreck havoc, but also at the same time, people might also choose not to believe her just because, now that I think of it. Like, we must NOT underestimate the genius elder that is Nagomi-san, we keep thinking on the surface she's like, closing on in her ideal granddaughter-in-law, but I'm sure she knows a lot more of what's happening even without knowing the truth. But what do I know right, bring it to my grave why don't ya. *laughs* And that's why I feel like I should instead talk about Nagomi herself, and what she is intending to do with this sort of final vacation with her perfect *chef's kiss* granddaughter-in-law. I think she is ready for it, and I won't let the next episode tell us just yet lol, but yes, from Nagomi hearing part of the stuff the two talked about in the toilet haha I mean they are in public space anyone with ears would've heard Mami-chan rage, to like, talking to Kazuya alone and thanking him for this trip even though she has paid for all by herself... I don't think you need anyone with a degree to tell you that Nagomi-san knows something is up, at least with Chizuru. I'm also pretty sure she is prepared to know if she lied too much, as seen from her text to Mami-chan, probably the worst person to ask at this time. From the next episode preview though (lol what is that dialogue I want in too) it looks like Mami-chan did choose to tell Chizuru about it though, but remember she's the two-face b*tch so I wonder even if we did tell everything to the grandmother, what face should Mami-chan even show? Right? She insists on Kazuya being the culprit while being nice to him, even though she's technically just the ex and knows he's a hornball. I don't know, you tell me, Anime. *giggles* But yeah, if we need another elder to die, it might as well be this season. *cringe* Yeah yeah I don't think so, but this is not going to end great. I want the series to prove to me that it can, because the hints so far? They are telling me the old lady is ready to take in anything even if it's not a granddaughter-in-law.

P.S. Why're you holding your head? Didn't get enough sleep?" I mean, I would make Kazuya's face if I got to wake up to Ten-chan in the same room every morning. *blessed*

P.P.S. "I honestly can't bear to watch this anymore. I like Nagomi-obaasan, so it's hard for me to keep her in the dark, too." THEN GET THE F**K OUT OF HERE DUDE MAMI-CHAN YOU ARE LITERALLY RUINING EVERYTHING HERE- *giggles*

Bro has never seen Walter from "Shinigami Bocchan" and Monica Everett, huh. *laughs* He is so prepared to be bullied to take over the family AND never be among the Seven I can't even. *giggles* In this new episode where I didn't even notice it's a FLASHBACK!! Haha okay bro (#SilentWitch10) who even is this? You aren't a genius. *laughs* The genius is Monica here. Yeah, best low-level technical worker who doesn't want to do management? Deja vu, anyone? Senior engineer role? Basic pay? In a high inflation society- No, wait. *laughs* We all don't want to do management part though, I'm not wrong. Because for Monica to have to deal with chess is already going to kill her emotionally, AND we have to talk about her past too? Sure man, let us talk about that lore first. Story goes that Bernie is her buddy in school when she was a (real) student (lol) in magic school, and he even taught her how to shorten her magic chants, which helped her to become the Silent Witch today. And I guess it's kind of humiliating to be the one teaching her being better than them and even taking the prestiged Seven Sages place instead of him, so yeah, j-j-j-jealousy I guess. I also don't think like, Bernie is dead today or something even though I'd love to make that joke lol, but uh, he probably hates Monica now, considering he wants to be in the Seven and she was. So yeah, that sucks, and don't guess if the chess tournament has anything to do with this. Monica should've chosen the horse-riding club- *sob* Haha okay jokes aside Suguta Hina is dead to us in this Anime now lol, but yeah apart from the responsibilities of just being a great chess player enough for people like Benjamin here who wants her to be the leader which *cringe* why would her or me agree to that, and I suppose that isn't the biggest problem of them all. We are hinted at this to be the final arc of the season though considering we got a recap break last week, so being in some disguise to help Monica avoid any suspicion from people she knows is normal, but it's not just for this one buddy of hers. I mean, Monica will have to confront to Bernie at some point, and we don't even know Bernie's playing style. He just needs to be like that dude from the Student Council last year, snooping out opponent's moves? More than enough to ruin her game. And her. *laughs* We shall see what happens, but overall, interesting setup which is also a perfect reminder of what this series already is, aristocratic drama- No, no. *laughs* What this series already is is about a shy, introverted mage trying to do her mission to protect the second prince. Now with Ryn-san and Nero-san disguised as... whatever, humans, I guess. *giggles* Monica is right, they are better as cat and bird. *laughs* This is going to be exciting, and I hope for all of our sake, Bernie here doesn't rat her buddy in school out. No really, if you do, we may have to silence you. She is the Silent Witch, after all. *wink*

P.S. "It's an honor to be chosen as a representative, but Monica doesn't have happy memories of this type of thing." YO SAME *laughs*

P.P.S. "A love triangle between me (Rynzbelfeid), Lady Witch and Black Cat. A truly thrilling development." LMAO GET THE FANFICS READY!!! *laughs*

[As usual Monica is a reaction factory and her "disguise" looks great so more of that]

Yeah I know right, my mom doesn't even b*tch about what stuff I buy off the Japanese Internet no more. *cringe* Haha no one narc lol but in this new episode I guess you can figure out already the a-hole mom literally just called her daughter Akira (#KiseKoi23) but yeah, stop me sinking into the culture phenomenon that's gotten world attention and keeping Japan's economy alive, dude. Try me. *dabs* HELL YEAH ANIME haha alright come back here nerds, looks like this episode is all about well I would say Juju-sama but it feels more like a reflection of the 3 adults here. *silence* I know, Miyako, Suzuka and Akira may not look like adults, but trust me, they are. *laughs* For Akira, I guess the intro is enough of a story to talk about. As she is making props with Gojou-kun, we learned that she has been ostracized for liking animated characters for as long as she has been a kid reading manga and stuff, and has never really come back to it until you know, she met those two idiots. *laughs* And to say that to do anything from them is an understatement, because what better way to do what you don't feel but actually like than to be just going with the flow? I, uh, have not yet done with my own hobbies so I'm kinda like Juju-sama over here with cosplay, but that also shows that your vision becomes coned, and you can only do that much. Also reminds me of the Twitch streamer I watched for years, only opened up to collaborations with his close friends, and he's hanging out with VTubers now. Don't ask who he is, figure it out yourself. *laughs* But yeah, just being with others is fun in itself, so sorry Juju-chan for calling you short and flat LMAO, because Miyako-san is also too. And it's not until there's someone who will guide you through will you notice, not alone, that there's so much more to whatever in your life you can do. And it's not like you didn't try even though that's probably my mission in life *dabs* lol, so it's reassuring to see that cosplay is just a thing anyone can do. I mean, we flattened Shinju's chest in the first season, so seriously, anything is possible, dude. *laughs* Other than that, yup ironically Miyako-san pointed out the biggest thing one only cannot compensate in terms of cosplay and that is height, and it can only be done through angles in photography. Just uh, don't appear in cosplay events otherwise people will ask if they didn't watch this series. *giggles* And I'm joking of course who f**king cares you guys are going to take photos anyways, but everything else? Yeah just pad those boobs, dude. Excuse me, "equip" those boobs, Amane didn't teach you a thing or two yet, Juju-sama? *laughs* All in all... I am now more interested in why Akira-san is avoiding Marin-chan now. She's not your mom or something... right? *laughs* Hey what do I know, they haven't mentioned about Marin-chan's family until like, last week tbh. *giggles* Still, plenty of emotional moments just because this is too damn real just talking about the 3 adults here, and that's just how this works, I guess. Interesting how this series took this approach instead of just dealing with just the high schoolers and stuff which is a good thing I guess, the world needs to open up and they are doing it so far with this season, from the school festival to this group cosplay thing and all. So yeah, we are near the end so I suppose we're concluding with this, and I can't wait to have to slap Akira-san in the face. As Marin-chan. *laughs* No, no b*tch fight, only male cosplay that'll make Suzuka and Miyako faint. *giggles*

P.S. "How pathetic. You're in middle school now. How long do you plan on reading stuff like this?" OH WHAT THE F**K MOM- Hey, they have a normal mom what of it *dabs*

P.P.S. "...we'll be able to see Juju-chan as Black Lobelia for free?!" Yeah Suzuka-san I guess it's technically free Miyako-san did pay for the outfit though so I don't know what you're getting on with *laughs*

Yeah, just give Kaoruko a jumbo sausage, dude. She will appreciate it- In this new episode where I wished I hadn't make dirty jokes because dude (#KaoruHana11) this is pure stuff we smoking here, can we not? *laughs* But seriously though, Kaoruko just wants you, Rintarou, prove me wrong by just wishing her a happy birthday. *dabs* Oh, we making cake now? Hey dad, wanna help? I'll be at the toilet- ALRIGHT!! *laughs* I just didn't say it's chocolate- PREMIUM JOKES at this blog, by the way, you're not welcome and I'm not sorry. *giggles* Jokes aside, this episode is just well, celebrating Kaoruko's birthday. Unlike those Kikyo girls in their class who want to like, throw a ceremony celebrating the best thing that has ever appeared in Anime lol yes it's Kaoruko and I'm not ashamed to say that *dab* but yeah look at who's the smart one making sure they do this a day later. *giggles* Do you think, Subaru told her classmates, that she's busy on Kaoruko's birthday just because? *wink* AND she told Rintarou about her birthday date?? Find me a better friend, I'll wait. *giggles* So all stars aligned, it's time to think of what gift to give her. And that, is making Rintarou more tired than his dad is working at the patisserie. *laughs* Also, shout out to the mom who just casually threw in the "just make her a cake" plan, what a fantastic plan mastered by the best to ensure the son is ready to take on the family business. *giggles* No really, you think your mom is going to suggest another bakery so your family don't get to survive till tomorrow? Bruh. *laughs* So yeah, introducing the dad who is hardly seen in action mainly because uh... he's always behind the scenes, preparing what I assume is every cake we have seen in this series so far so shout out to him too, our everyday hero making sure Kaoruko is happy so we can get the daughter-in-law soon. *dabs* What, you think the dad doesn't know? Or else why is he so strict on his son to make a cake even though we have 2 weeks and he can just help? What is this, that cosplay mini series for "KiseKoi" where they have to make Gojou's voice actor make cosplay outfits? *laughs* So yeah, despite all that, Rintarou did make the masterpiece only he has never seen it before because it is his own work, and then gave it to his gal on her birthday. Oh, no party though? *giggles* Subaru doesn't want in, I get it. *laughs* I also didn't remind myself of this until I saw the other Kikyo girls, but uh, imagine if Rintarou like, gave Kaoruko a cake. Yeah, in public, yes. With everyone looking, yes. Any% speedrun DIY cake thrown on floor. *laughs* But nope, no such bullsh*t it seems we are far away from school, and we are letting Kaoruko bring the cake home so she... and her family can enjoy it. Dude, that's how you know she has a younger brother. *giggles* What, you gonna expect Kaoruko to eat A WHOLE CAKE by herself?? Then again, the brother did just ate half of it, so... it has GOT to be good cake. *dabs* I want to eat cake now though ngl. *laughs* All in all... I think Tsumugi Rintarou is ready to take over the family business. *giggles* You should've seen the relief on his parents' faces. *laughs* Also, no drops, no accidents for the cake, no bad comments, overall 10/10 wholesomeness in your face. It was a whole cake, by the way, no surprises there. *giggles* And we are ending with a group hangout for summer vacation, it seems! BEACH EPISODE INCOMING- We aren't too sure of that though, swimsuits aren't a guarantee anyways. *laughs* But I'm sure, I'm very sure, it'll all turn out fine. Can we skip a day so we can avoid dealing with all the condescending Kikyo girls from class? I don't want them to ruin our great story here. *dabs* (lol)

P.S. "Is that bad? Wanting to celebrate a f-friend's birthday is normal, right?" HELL YEAH IT SURE IS!!! Also, it's girlfriend, bro, I think you uh, said that wrong. *giggles*

P.P.S. "At least, he smiles a lot more now. I'm sure it's thanks to those kids." Hey not gonna lie here, I didn't expect Kyouko here to be such an impactful Anime mom just because of this plot. Thanks, Hikasa Youko, you DID make this Anime better. *thumbs up*

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

Oh yeah, I totally just realized Kitani Tatsuya's single is limited edition and is single track so no wonder it did not appear in Apple Music. *shrugs* So far, no for that, not even for Anime I'm f**king sick of giving songs I don't like. *giggles* otoha-san's single is ok even though it dropped off a little so I'll just give 1 instead of 2 B-sides.

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

Oh, I just slapped MONO NO AWARE there because I'll give a listen again the week after since there aren't any new songs by then. *shrugs* I was reminded of Genie High's... technical infinite hiatus from Kouno Marika which you might remember sang a song with them for a drama theme song she was in many years ago... and well we won't get more of them again I guess, I did try to give their latest song a listen though. Fancy having to hear Ushio Reira sing the same song twice lol, and I ALREADY can hear the greatness in SID's new single. *giggles*

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

I'll look forward to SID next week that'll be the highlight I hope for my sake, and I did listen to a yama-san live aired recently due to a YouTube Music Weekend premiere, so I guess I'll give their old single a listen.

I need to listen to random lives more. *silence* That's why I say watching rock festivals is kinda important to me nowadays, I just don't. *shrugs*

I did intend to play Tiny Glade after seeing Naganawa Maria play this live yesterday night and even though I was late I watched it through all 2 hours of it but uh, can't get the game to work on my totally offline Windows so... maybe we'll deal with that another day. Also, I should finish playing the new Story of Seasons video game even though I think it has taken a toll on me as they have so many tasks to do in so little time, I wish they had made more quality of life improvements like combining the crafting instead of spreading them across THREE locations *ugh* among other things, so it might take a while before I marry Naobou, to be real honest with ya. *giggles*

Also, is Kana-chan divorced with her husband Ono Kensho real? Why she post on Instagram but not on Twitter/X?? Either way, very bad for my fanfics haha how am I going to write the sequel now? Time to make her divorced in fiction too, I guess!! *laughs*

P.S. I guess I should talk about my first two seasons of new Story of Seasons video game huh, in thumbnails!! Okay, this might take a while ngl LONG POST WARNING (lol)

To conclude, I think the best parts of this game are the hand wave which will interact with all NPCs around you and that skips talking to EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM EVERYDAY (haha yup) which is such a quality of life upgrade- And then they sh*t on you by making THREE processing facilities spread across town instead of letting you upgrade and just, access all of them from the one windmill beside your farm. *ugh* Freaking hated that, and they still have a lot of things like typhoons which you can barely move outdoors which was great for fishing, and the bazaar was a fun time, so I'm not complaining. But seriously man, I have to do all of the above PLUS deal with horse and pet training? NO WONDER they give you until 5am to do things... and don't recover stamina the same rate haha smh dude
