Well, tomorrow's gonna suck and I'm deciding whether I want to watch "CITY" tomorrow or next week... so probably next week haha I'll be a week later but I'm not going to miss out on the jokes tbh. Tomorrow is already a joke ngl *laughs*

Welcome back to what seems to be the concluding week of the current Summer season of Anime, if not for "Silent Witch" delaying a week and still airing 13 episodes, and "CITY" airing on Sunday nights ie. I can only watch on Mondays, and we had to deal with THREE sequels, this would've gone better. *giggles* Okay it isn't that bad, my rhinitis is worse. *cringe*

Next month's gonna start a lot of good things at least I have prepared for myself, but before that, let's end this month up.

Oh, so basically Hungry Ghost Festival, you guys know what that is, anyone Chinese here? *laughs* Anyways in this new episode where we just do Halloween and nothing else lol (#SilentWitch12) oh damn Monica is busy, so guess not. *shrugs* She is busy though, with what is our final story arc of the season it seems, and as joined by Louis who is just her for flair until he has to work and deal with Mira the magic artifact and how lesbian they are lol they can't take a man I suppose so maybe they might be just a straight male (lol), and Mommy, I mean, Mary. *laughs* She's the Starseer Witch, and even though I have many questions including how her servants are all little boys and I hope for our sake they are your kids but then again that will make me raise even MORE questions lmao, but she is also the leader of the Seven Sages. I assumed this isn't much and her intentions are just to talk to Monica sometime and not like she was the hardest of the Sages to deal with there's another who just never showed face throughout the year lmao and she is here, so she is already better. Also, she did stay to witness a spiritual send-off in the festival in Corlapton along with Ryn-san so I guess it's okay...? Oh, so Isabelle will be here too? Hmm... but we only found Felix though. Ahem, I mean, Ike. *giggles* I would assume Felix is here to collect some information about the families who came by whatever Cassandra is opening here (lol) what they think of their allegiance towards Felix which isn't great if you would recall previously and that's why all the assassinations and why Monica is out of her hut in the first place, but more importantly, he's just here to hang out. Alone. Which is a problem if you are second prince and considering you are royalty, shouldn't be hanging out in a place like this without protection- Oh, Monica. *laughs* So yeah, what else is new, this sounds like a good plan, and now Ryn-san knows, so we can keep this to ourselves for now. Until something bad happens. Which is about now because we met some random stranger who just happened to be the guy who drew the emblem for the transport carriages who infiltrated the Academy, in case you forgot about that. Yeah, coincidence maybe, and they did help Monica do nothing haha he didn't help find Felix anyways, but somehow his new devious plan is to steal the magic artifact that we have to use later. Well, at least he won't be cursed by it since he can't magic it to release or whatever so he won't have to suffer the same fate that Louis has. *laughs* Still, I guess we don't have to worry too much about the festival now that we don't have the one thing we need to do this for now, so hopefully, we can find them back. Felix, I mean. Ahem, Ike, I mean. *giggles* All in all... this is the most peaceful Halloween special I've ever watched. *laughs* No really, this is real chill, and I kinda like that. Also Monica not talking sometimes, that's very like her. *giggles* So looks like the final episode next week will be the conclusion to this story arc where we have to find what's lost... and that might be rough. This series didn't really live up to my expectations the only thing I think did was Lana-chan haha no wait, I mean Monica. *laughs* Even so, I still will see this till the end. And pray hard that Felix won't be hurt in the process. Haha yeah I know right, fancy finding the mage item AND protecting the second prince? Even the Seven Sages can't do both at once...? *giggles*

P.S. "For those 10 years, Felix's fate is the only one I haven't been able to predict." CRINGE!! *laughs* Is that good or bad though, you think?

P.P.S. "It spoke to me the whole time I was trying to undo the seal. And I must say, its personality is rather intense." I am so sorry we can't tell this to your wife, Louis. *laughs* "(Ryn-san) your personality also gives me a headache, though for a different reason." *laughs*

No really, where is everyone else? Or is it just you two? Don't get lost! *laughs* No one will get this joke this is not season 2 of "Takagi-san" anyways they will be wholesome together in this final episode of this wonderful series no matter how you look at it (#KaoruHana13), and it all started, as from previous episode, Rintarou's phone call to Kaoruko. I'm sure they didn't have to explain Subaru beside her as they went home after the day at the beach, but yeah, she probably doesn't matter. *giggles* But Kaoruko though!! She knew what's up. *giggles* Okay it's more like Rintarou knows what's up, but maybe talking about them during the summer festival (together) (alone) would be the best way to conclude this love story. Story goes where Rintarou saw Kaoruko eat so much cake like a hamster... Wait, no no no. *laughs* Not that one, I'll try again. Story goes that months ago before this encounter, Kaoruko was a sad, depressed girl probably worrying about studying and her perfect grades and how this will affect her as a scholarship student because don't forget that, and she passed by the Tsumugi patisserie. Yup, so for starters, thanks mom and dad for making this happen. *wink* Then, she went in and saw Rintarou. That one, that's all him. Not only did he provide excellent service to a girl in pain, but also helped her out after seeing her cry alone. Of course, part of it is because of the pastry so yeah Rintarou please learn to make them from your dad this is how you get laid *giggles* but then of course, is how some blonde dude was so nice to her at her lowest, this Kaoruko. And thus, a point of infatuation began, having to do makeup before going there, looking her best, going even more often as to once or twice a month even though it's not convenient, and cake. *dabs* That's important, but above that, she also want to chance upon the son, which in case you don't know, only has to take over the cashier ever so once in a while. Which, the next time was the first episode as we have seen, on also one of her worst days, and without makeup. I know right, if this was without makeup, we don't need that shit, girl. *dabs* But yeah, I can't say that, not even Rintarou, so he just stared at her like his life depended on it, and all else is history. *laughs* No really, I'm not going to elaborate on Kaoruko's side of the story as only seen from Rinatrou's perspective, but damn, does this make it the icing on the cake when we have to talk about that to complete this wholesomeness. And of course, Rintarou confessed like he said he did (SUCK IT KAZUYA FROM "KANOKARI" lmao) and... this is not a matter of saying yes or not already. *dabs* All in all... guys, I have something to confess too. I know I also felt the cuteness that Rintarou felt and fell in love with Kaoruko at the same time lol just look at my first episode review, but heck, mine also had history, though not as much as Kaoruko. I've been watching 17 years of Anime already so don't ask how old I am, and I have watched many of romance troupes all these years. But from those with cliche endings, to those who started with dating or even marriage in mind... None of them really seem to hit me. Until Kaoruko. Yup, I may have to backtrack a bit, but this is one of those wholesome romance series I have missed FOR YEARS- Maybe it needed the right formula, just like how cake-making works: You need the nice cool dude, you need the most adorable thing in the world and I don't mean the cake *dabs* and then you need side characters to help make all of the coincidences happen. No really Rintarou, you need to thank your parents for deciding to open a bakery. *wink* Overall though, damn this was such a great series, I won't stop recommending. Of course I would assume this isn't the end they just made it simple so to wrap this up in time, but damn, I just want to listen to the special ending theme song again. (Oh, it was used in the first PV *OMG*) No full release though wtf Aniplex?? *laughs* I'll follow up on that till the end if you guys don't mind, it's just too good. *blessed*

P.S. "...the thought that our time together would end eventually made me incredibly sad and lonely. Ah... then I understood that this was probably how all the couples in this world felt..." Wow, that just means I didn't try hard enough. Or they don't like me. Probably both. *sob* 

P.P.S. "Even so, I can't accept things staying the way they are." LETS F**KING GOOOOOO "If going out with someone means to receive courage and joy from the person you care for and it allows us to spend more time together... Then that's what I want us to be." What is this, a marriage proposal? *giggles* Well said though, Rintarou got a script prepared or what...? *dabs*

[To end the series KAORUKO MATSURI!!! *laughs* No, Matsuri isn't her name.]

It's that time of the year again as in the new season is upon us, and even if Japan's autumn is going to be shorter this year, mine isn't, so let's see what new stuff I can watch! No sequels for me though, so that's good news, this means I can watch ALL originals- Or none of them, I don't have a good feeling about this I don't know anything this new season tbh.

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

Oh this, yeah this... and then it just went into heck yeah, this!! *laughs*

Well, not really, but almost giving 3 of the 4 songs isn't a coincidence while listening to them at work, I'll tell you that much. On the next couple of days after release, I realized I didn't give the title song just because I didn't like the songs that are subtle OR obvious, but never both. So like, the pre-release song which was the 2nd track? That one felt great in mood, and the song title mention isn't as intrusive. You know, just between the subtle and obvious. And man, are these guys really good at making long, moody songs. They might be my new fav now. Now to explore their whole catalogue. *giggles*

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

Wow, there's a lot of band-ending news this week, huh. *cringe*

Well, SHISHAMO is definitely by coincidence, but the other 2 I do follow them, and I'm already worried about the music industry in general considering I don't even care about music outside of Japan. *silence* Oh come on, Middle Kids is technically the only English artist I'm following. *cringe* Anyways haha, the rest are doing so well though, from SIX LOUNGE to Ikimono to RyokuShaka... Just don't ask about No Buses, The Floor and I guess I just wanted to mention Chilli Beans. just because. *giggles* We do know WurtS, they sang the one song with yama-san last year which I listened to the latter's album.

Yeah, idol music is better haha *chu* Mocho is better. *laughs*

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

Well, next week it's just them, and if them being my regular is an indicator, the only song that will suck in their new EP is likely the collaboration song. *laughs* Just joking, I hardly know the other person featured, and I've heard nothing much about the songs, so let's see how they hold up!

Happy birthday Ookubo Rumi from yesterday and Nagae Rika today but then again if you ask me whether I want gothic loli or blondie I will just take the former even if it means I'm going to be with someone older than me. *dabs* You know, "I like my girls a little bit older" haha that song reference never gets old, GTA Vice City, baby!! Speaking of, I'm still thinking of (apart from the new package and I'm trying to align the stars but also) what my next home PC should be. I really don't upgrade my PC so getting a desktop feels like an overkill considering I have to put it on my table too and not on the floor like some maniac, which also means the quieter the better. And not like I need the latest graphics card even though Transport Fever 3 and GTA VI is around the corner... I'll think about it. The Xbox Ally sounds really good. *giggles* See you guys next week then, and until next time... I'll see if I want to do the Entertainment News tomorrow. Either way you won't be here anyways this is just me talking to myself- 

P.S. I'm not going to talk too much on this, but I did watch the new "Lycoris Recoil" OVAs (yes, now, half a year later) and it's not much but there are jokes worth talking about, so I'll put them in thumbnails. You're welcome, Chisato. *laughs*
