Wow, we are already at October, huh. Time to think of fanfics and song awards and stuff- I promise you one of these years I'll start thinking of job hunting haha

Anyways, welcome back! This month marks the start of a lot of things: New package, new fanfics, new Anime once we are done with "Silent Witch" lol... It's a lot of things, but also, I could've spent more time trying to get to the marriage part of the Story of Seasons game before I watch the Naobou maid Anime next week. Or tomorrow, see if I'm desperate to watch that every week as much as "CITY" or not, it's going to be the only one though.

We have a couple of shows to watch and see if I like them, so let's!

Well guess what, a handful of the damn voice actresses I know have left the industry so you tell me. *cringe* In this final episode of a magical series and this one guy is delaying its end lol (#SilentWitch13), are we trying to elope with Hondo Kaede or something? *laughs* Oh it's Kana-chan. I'll take it! *giggles* Yeah she's divorced alright I don't even mind tbh. *dabs* ANYWAYS haha we are at the end of the Mira and whatever Hungry Ghost Festival arc right here haha I would argue this is the Halloween special and thanks for that by the way just in time too because they delayed it a week. The thief didn't really get caught as much as they got caught in the cursed magical tool Mira's whims, which just brought him into the sky and used all the land's magic to fight Monica just because... jealousy? I mean, without consent too? Why can't we have more of those so I can actually be married by now? *laughs* Anyways joke's not over, because ironically, Monica can't use flying spells that well. Oh yeah, someone clearly didn't pass their Quidditch exams- No, wait. *laughs* (I'm going to get cancelled- POTTER BOOKS??? *laughs*) But she did eventually once again reminded by Felix on how to keep her balance, and Ryn-san did back her up, so all's well is well. I like how Ryn-san had to ask the mommy of Seven Sages (lmao) why she knew the tool would go berserk instead of thinking why she didn't help deal with it afterwards. So yeah, secretly this is a test for Monica-chan, so I won't say much. I WILL say more about the somewhat date between Felix, I mean, Ike-san and Monica-chan though. Yeah yeah blah blah books, and Monica also just met her dad's friend who managed to keep a copy of her dad's book after everyone just burnt it like it was Qin Shi Huang burning books about Confucianism (I'm Chinese btw I have to know this) meaning there' none left... until she saw this one, and obviously I would argue as one of the Seven Sages she would have money to pay for it even if it's 2 gold bars from Red Dead Redemption 2 (lol no one will get this joke) and probably have to come back later lest she get found out also can she get a discount if she says she's his friend's daughter? *wink* Haha and I guess we don't have to, because Felix paid for it. Yeah, just forgot he got some money from the brothel he visited just now, the bribes. *laughs* And then I guess we shouldn't talk about what happened afterwards. *laughs* No, not the solemn reading session that one even threw off Cassandra the owner, but the drinks, dude. We are so close to slaying chick but then Felix did it so well I can't even- I wished Katori from "Tsurezure Children" was Felix. *laughs* No, not the prince part. *laughs* But yeah, Felix, I really pray for Monica's sake that you aren't king now because (1) you would've known who Monica's true identity is, and (2) you will likely have to marry one of the Seven Sages. *laughs* Uh....!!! All in all... I wish this had a sequel. *sigh* But yeah, just like many other magic world Anime that passed before it and I mean "MajoTabi", we aren't getting more. *sob* I know the aristocracy is the worst part about it, and we don't get to see as much action every episode this still has its drama phases once in a while, but damn this is such a good watch. Trust me, even without Aizawa Saya? I'll likely pick this one up too. But heck, I'm just relieved we can still have shows like this when every fantasy or isekai Anime is just riding on the rails of success. I would pretty much be happy with stuff like this, overall done well, has plenty of lore, and you know, maybe we can slap in romance or cuteness here and there as we want. *wink* Either way, great series to watch, I wish they showed us more but I think this final episode gave us what we wanted. So, so good, I can't even mathematically calculate how good this is. *dabs*

P.S. "Aren't you supposed to get angry and call it a scam?" For limited edition goods? No, consult my room and all the damn voice actress photobooks and bromide photos I have. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Why would you say something like that?" Hey Mira the magical tool are you by any chance voiced by Hondo Kaede or someone similar? "Let us die together, my beloved." Okay that's 300% Kana-chan. *laughs* (No, not going to make a joke about divorce here they ended their relationship amicably-)

[Oh what a surprise more than half of my screens are Monica-chan SO HERE IS MORE TO END THE SERIES!! *dabs*]

Yeah Kiyoko here is more dependable as class chairwoman so F**K YOU CHITOSE-KUN haha alright why are we dunking on the most popular show this season when we have this first episode (#YanoKun01) of what looks like "Shikimori-san" to talk about. *laughs* For starters, I think the drawing was what threw me off but also drew me in. This really reminded me of "Sakamichi no Apollon" and their drawings, just, you know, we don't bump into a piano or saxophone or something. *laughs* And of course the plot here kinda resembles "Shikimori-san" where the guy's luck runs out the moment he steps out of the house (and we don't even know if that happens before that) where he has to deal with the elements without anyone protecting him But unlike the former, this one focuses on healing, where our main girl Kiyoko is seen tending to his siblings when they are injured so is wary to carry around a first-aid box, just like what she did to some random kid on the street. She is nice though, so be doing that to some random kid, so maybe doing the same thing to Yano-kun isn't this special, she is already the class chairman, we can care for our classmates more. *wink* Apart from the super real friend Kiyoko has who I think works part-time as the series director (lol), I think most of the story so far is just understanding Yano-kun himself, how he just, as he said, wants to live a normal high school life... while getting hit by everything against him that isn't tests and exams. *laughs* Or adulthood, yeah, we are still in high school though. *giggles* Maybe we hit the puberty earlier so we can start dating down the road, yes? Kiyoko here is just warming up to you. *wink* The girl also ended up being really self-aware about her care to him, really feels like a romance plot, but seeing this as a Seinen series I highly doubt they want to throw in romance this early just because we have someone who gets injured easily and the doctor's office isn't a better choice than some chick- What do I know right? Yano-kun will get his priorities right someday. *giggles* All in all... I mean, we do have the soldier battling against the elements, and we have the medic by his side, so isn't this the best combination you've seen ever? I don't have much to say for now because all I can recall is just him doing the dumbest stuff, it really makes me think he might be taking too much Tylenol. *laughs* (Yeah blah blah autism or whatever) I still think the biggest problem I can foresee is whether they continue with these jokes or they will swiftly transition into romance similar to "Shikimori-san", or else this shtick will run cold real soon. I cannot imagine them coming up with new plots though I would assume this is necessary, but having to live the normal life even just going to the arcade after school? I just hope he's not going to hit some lamppost just because he covered one of his eyes. *shrugs* I also hope his right eye has some lore for keeping it covered, maybe long term injury and not like there's sapphire in there or it's meant to summon the devil. *laughs* (And that's "TanMoshi" and "Kuroshitsuji" respectively, you're welcome) Also, why are ending theme songs better than openings now even though the latter is to represent the theme of the series? *shrugs* So many things we don't know, so maybe giving them a couple *wink* more episodes would be a good choice. I can't wait for this series to hit a wall and scar me so I never want to watch this series again LMAO

[I mean, I don't like to see injured people in my thumbnails so Kiyoko-chan I guess!! "I think I love her" lmao]

P.S. "He's just a total klutz, huh?" Yano-kun isn't even trying just like I am with real life!!! Uh, I don't bump into stuff on the streets, not yet. *giggles* "I know I ask you every morning, but are you okay?" I assume he said "as okay as I'll ever be" because SAME dude and I don't even hit a tree branch. *laughs*

P.P.S. "But I never want someone else to get hurt because of my predisposition, like almost just happened." Okay I see a strong girlfriend plot incoming *laughs* "It feels weird not having anything stuck on my face." But what about a woman? *dabs*

Dude, if I can give my fellow foreheads, then this will be a compelling series to watch. *laughs* In this new episode of a series I didn't expect to give with just foreheads lol (#Shakabe01) and yes before you ask it's because I have one too, the bangs don't do too much since I have a bad hairline. *silence* Anyways haha if you decide to ignore that though, we do have an interesting plot going for us, so listen up. Lore goes that all hope is lost for the couple that owns what is equivalent to a pharmacy in Edo period, and asked for the blessing of a god to give them a kid as they do those days... and they got it. Unfortunately, the kid wasn't too strong in constitution (SAME) and was easily susceptible to illnesses (SAME) and was bedridden for most of his childhood (NOT SAME) (lol) so extra care had to be taken to him so he can continue to take over the business whenever, you know. Ironically, help is just on the other side as in spirits, so instead of humans by his side, many were apparitions which were tasked to help him through his life, almost a bit too smoothly if you think about it. Anyways, the kid obviously knows this is too much good for him, so he sneaks out once in a while with the help of other apparitions to cover him in his presence in the house. But yeah, if you thought this will go well think twice, as we technically just witnessed the night life in the Edo period which is uh... not great, for starters. Looks like some murder is going on and this dude isn't even an apparition, but good thing is our Young Master here does know a lot about them and has many friends by his side thanks to the grandfather, I would think. Even in a simple scene of escaping death, he has already had a couple of spirits help him to evade the assailant. All in all... this dude is blessed with a lot of things, I'll tell you that much. *giggles* I mean though, they did get me to finish watching this episode which is something I did I wouldn't be able to do, so that's cool. No, I was not bedridden, I mean as in interest. I thought I would've stopped halfway through, but no, I stayed to see what's up. Hmm... that doesn't mean it's good enough. The plot is rather stale I would argue not as stale as the blood they just saw, but that should be the least of its problems. So until I think of watching it again, to see if there are more mysteries unfold? Maybe I'll just dabble on the theme songs and move on, honestly.

P.S. "Not all spirits have good intentions." Yeah I wonder why we have been seeing the nice ones so far ngl

P.P.S. "Honestly. Everyone treats me like an invalid." I mean Ichitaro, you are the only son and had a weak body through childhood and are in a big family of servants so that's not surprising. Dude, you should charge them for asking for your health every day, that'll be a good business haha "if I get a dime every time they ask for my health..." (lol)

Fujita Akane as main in another Anime?? Never say never. *laughs* Oh, then why would I even give this a chance despite all the lack of hype around it? Well, maybe I shall explain with this first episode (#KashiwadaSanToOotaKun01) to give you a good idea why this need not be on your watch list. *giggles* It's like if I do this write-up with all the *silence* emojis. No really, I'll try doing it here but not for 12 episode, no damn way. *silence* Because DAMN is the series trying to be as expressionless as possible, and I think the real problem though that's appeal, is the stark difference between the two main characters. We have the dude that is so easy to read it doesn't take much to know his TikTok recommendation feed lmao, and the girl is so hard to read that, I would argue Oota-kun is right for once here, that even if Kawashida Kashiwada-san here (lol) confessed to him and asks him to go out with her on dates and hug and kiss and stuff? I wouldn't even thrust trust her. *silence* (Damn, not laughing is hard for doing this write-up) And that's the main issue I think. And compared to say, "Yano-kun" as I watched before this where the girl comes up with a plan to help the dude not get hit by the next thing coming his way, this one... I don't know, what plan can we do here? Unless we strap her up to a machine to read her heartbeats or like the one friend who just noticed how many MORE times she blinked during lunch... I don't think this will be any easier to digest. Like, I get how the guy is easy to read which means any pranks the guy tries on the girl will easily be neutralized as seen with the bottle of not vinegar the girl drank, but the reverse doesn't work. And I'm a straight male here. Might as well be straight faced now because it's not even the girl that's easy to read. *silence* No really, this would've been better promoted as a Shoujo series. *silence* Even the high school life sold here really isn't helping, and yeah as much as I like Fujita Akane as I have heard of her since "Eromanga-sensei" whch damn that was many years ago... this is not appealing to me. All in all... I can see why we are going DOWN in ranks in MyAnimeList watching the above Anime in order. *laughs* Okay okay, I can let my face loose now, it's hard to even laugh at this, honestly. *silence* In a nutshell, not that I don't see the developments or the plots that are going, but as one of his friends who didn't really decide to help him out, like, why are we doing this? *silence* Really, we are also not doing this to satisfy anyone, and trust me when I try to make jokes on Bluesky isn't helping much with my sanity, so yeah, I don't think I'm watching more of this. SanPashi as ending theme can just be on my playlist. What I wished Kashiwada-san was as a theme song, more like. *shrugs*

P.S. "She's using some transcendental power to look into another dimension!" Yeah, she's just looking at you, dude. *silence* (Hehe he doesn't know)

P.P.S. "This all started back at the opening ceremony, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom..." "Wait, is this gonna take long? I need to go to the bathroom." LMAO JOKE OF THE SERIES *laughs* Why is this Anime so woke and yet so lame at the same time? I don't know dude lol

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

Wow, I almost just cleared the EP. *laughs*

I did not mainly because of the title collaboration song ironically due to the other artist involved lol, but the rest is kinda good so I did give a couple more songs than I thought. SIX LOUNGE, dude, is just the reason why I'm glad good ol' J-Rock exists. *blessed*

Please don't end like all those other rock bands out there I announced last week. *cringe*

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

Wow a lot of Aqua Timez activity, huh. Even though they are ending activities by the end of the year. *cringe*

Anyways haha not much this week, and not surprising all the new drama and anime theme song reveals so I'll listen to them when I have time and am not rejecting new shows. *dabs* wacci's live video is the most consoling of the list? OOF haha

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

Not exactly looking forward to this one considering their performance for the past couple of years, but it might be good time to revisit them after listening to them in "Silent Witch" and even then I did not give the ending theme. *silence* I wish I had better things to say of them but this is not SIX LOUNGE and I don't feel bad badmouthing these guys. I'm just being critical not cynical. *dabs*

If you saw an extra section, then that means I've decided (at least for this week) to consider watching that Marie anime on Sundays when it airs and hope I can catch on to the downloading speeds and dealing with thumbnails (and social media posts which I probably should refrain from doing for this once) just so I can publish this before the day ends in Japan. *giggles* If not, then see you guys tomorrow then haha I know right why did I write this first. (Edit: Not happening, dude, direct streaming isn't until following Friday) Until next time though!!! It's going to be the new package, isn't it? NOT UNTIL THE PAIN OF WORK GOES AWAY FIRST!!! *ugh*

P.S. I've been seeing someone play CloverPit and I'm just so hooked to it I just ended up playing it myself so here's some of my slot machine gambling roguelike highlights!! *laughs*
