I feel like I've been missing out on Jump Festa this weekend even though it has been livestreamed on YouTube (though no way to watch back in archive) so you can feel my disappointment when I saw schoolgirl Akarin and Ueshama in the same image just now. *cries* Yeah it's for "Ao no Hako" 2nd season happening some time next year apparently.

Well, the reason for this is because (apart from being a coding freak lol) I was binging on "Allo Allo!" all weekend, hoping to finish all 85 episodes by Christmas, enjoying British sitcoms with the rest of the family ie. myself to celebrate the holidays. Speaking of holidays also lol I like how all this is related, this weekend also marks the start of my work leave until next year, which will mean I have a lot of time to do anything I want that isn't gooning (lmao) so uh, cleaning up my room and video games, I suppose. Which might be a problem if I want to do the former in 3 days so... we shall see. *giggles*

Okay we have a decent intro for the week now haha so let's! I gotta watch "Yano-kun" first before jumping into the "BLEACH" stage livestream later. *thumbs up*

Well, not me at work right now it's a Sunday, also not for another 2 weeks. *dabs* In this finale of an episode where I'm sure the new girl here is sequel bait lmao I wish (#YanoKun12), but I don't think so, I'm just coping right about now. *cringe* Hey it'll be funnier if she's the ex which will make Kiyoko flip her lid, but I doubt so. *laughs* So, about Yano-kun as of course we have to conclude this series by. Turns out, the new girl who just appeared recently claiming she's the classmate of Yano's in middle school was Okamoto (*ugh* not the "Look Back" kid *ugh*) who transferred to this school of all things after leaving... for reasons. *giggles* Well, we don't have to know this much, but thinking that she might be part of the reason why Yano-kun REFUSES to talk about his past is rather obvious, if you aren't covered in one eye or something. *dabs* Anyways haha, so story goes that it was the school festival, we had a great friendship going out on here with Yano meeting Okamoto and you know, the girl *wink* asking him out to hang out in the festival instead of... looking at art lmao I mean Yano-kun is an Arts person so that's not surprising, but more than Yano doesn't want to enjoy himself in the festival, it's more like - and as he always have said thus far - he doesn't want to implicate others in his frequent accidents. Which of course Hashiba and the others retorted easily that they have never gotten hurt being around him, and that the only one getting hurt is him. *laughs* I guess that's the problem, huh. *giggles* Hey, turns out you only need someone who can cover you every time something happens to you instead of I don't know, slapping another band-aid and saying "it is what it is" every time- We just got lucky we met a very nice girl. I mean Kiyoko- SUCK IT OKAMOTO *laughs* I know right, where's the love rivalry here that I expected? *laughs* Yeah it's not there, and it took a while for Yano to realize he shouldn't be running away from his friends, but instead run away from his damn problem of not being with people who care about him. Specifically Kiyoko. You're welcome, girl. *giggles* Also, imagine being Okamoto though? Like, you just transferred back to a school in your hometown, clueless as to not meet literally anyone even though I would argue she doesn't look like she's a social butterfly (lmao gottem) but still, meeting the one friend you know as a kid brings you joy... until they ignore you. Bruh. Even I would be like wtf dude we can't be friends just because I saw your other eye? What is this, <insert_anime_here>?? *laughs* It's not, but we can show Yano's other eye. Right? Right...? *silence* NOOOOOOOOOO- All in all... *sigh* I don't know if it's worse to be made fun of having different eye colours or wearing an eyepatch to cover one of them. *silence* We don't have coloured contacts we can use to fix this? What year is it? *giggles* Also, THAT IS IT?? BRUH, you covered your right eye and you STILL got into more accidents, so what's the difference? *dabs* Hey, if getting cursed by looking at someone's right eye is real besides it having an infection, then I wouldn't be scammed 15k without it. *silence* You don't have to ask further. *laughs* ANYWAYS haha, we're done. *giggles* In a good way, we have resolved everything, and we got a new friend Okamoto joining the gang, so that's real cool. Hey, this is exactly as advertised on the title, that we are living "Yano's Ordinary Days" and we will continue to do so, especially if everyone actually likes him. Hey, we got the one Yoshida Kiyoko, and I think that's more than enough. *wink*

P.S. "All that's left are the school trip and winter break!" Well bad news Tanaka, we aren't going to experience those here. *sob* "Hey, don't forget about finals!" Well, that though. *laughs* "That kind of stuff doesn't exist in my calendar." Well Tanaka good luck in your future bro. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Yano believes a rumour that his right eye is cursed? He's not just pure. This is next level!" Yes, almost "too-pure-pure" I would argue. *dabs*

Like, having Noah around would've helped rat her out, seriously. *giggles* In this final episode of an espionage we didn't expect to have to do but I guess we are in now (#KikaijikakeNoMarie12), then again Marie did just believe whatever Maynard said about not having an antidote so I guess they are all the same. *laughs* Hey, this series doesn't take itself seriously, okay? Not even the romance. *laughs* As such, do not take the ending of this series seriously too, as even I am not sure if this is the proper ending or if it has even ended because I swear, I do not care. *laughs* So, let's wrap on what we have learned so far. I mean, the most we have known of is from Noah, I would assume. Like, he has never sided on Maynard ever since he laid his eyes on Marie, and that's not surprising. To be fair, I think Noah wants to see a strong Marie-chan from the start. Probably his type is strong women, though I don't think we have a comparison unless Noah loves Marie 2, who knows. *giggles* Okay never mind, he likes Marie in love with Arthur- Do you like being a cuck, Noah? *laughs* Oh well, whatever his fetish is also very reflective of his role in the series, just being a jerk. *laughs* Hey, not a d*ck, that one is Maynard who even now still doesn't really change for Isabel or something, I don't know, dude. Look at how your not stepbrother is dealing with Marie even after he lost his memory and how when he got it back (through Marie feeding it to his lips haha damn I want that too *chu*) he STILL wants to be with Marie- I guess Maynard hasn't experienced love, is the problem I suppose. That one I can't help. No one can, honestly. *laughs* But hey, at least he has someone chick beside him. Noah? He's just sad and alone like me. *silence* Okay this is sad enough this is a joke series let's talk about the jokes! Maynard's room of Arthur... torture? I don't know, it really feels like he needs to join the Arthur fan club. *laughs* And of course, months pass and they get married lol I got spoiled on the social media previews already and not like this isn't a surprise, but more like, that's how they get the ending going it looks like. Even the dad was here for the occasion and brought in like, loser robot dogs which might likely chew me up if I'm close to them, so let's just say nice things to them so I can piss off Marie instead. She's a robot... right? *giggles* All in all... *sigh* I'm just glad I gave this a chance. Dude, even the theme songs are better, and I only gave Hartya-san. *laughs* Also, MVP Marie 2, right? No doubts about that? *giggles* I said they are MVP I didn't say I'll bang them. *silence* Also, honestly saying? It'll be funnier somehow if they made Arthur marry a robot. *laughs* Like, keep up the lie that he's marrying a robot, but I guess at this point we are just marrying a bodyguard so that Marie can just enjoy jumping off the balcony to re-live her wedding ceremony or something? Yeah, a lot of context seems to be missing just to wrap this series up, so I will not ponder further, it's wasting my brain cells. *laughs* As where I started, I'm just here for Naobou and I got what I wanted from like, the trailer to be frank haha, so all this is fan service, to be real honest with ya. Hey, at least I got to be honest all this time. Marie? She had to lie her way through love- Oh, I see the problem with me now. *giggles* Maybe the problem is how they ended up creating a married couple (by the way) at the end of this. What is this, "ToniKawa"?? Haha I'm done with this dumb sh*t lol I mean Maynard-

[I think it's appropriate to end with those cinematic cuts so here we go!]

P.S. "To find the antidote so I can say goodbye to Master Arthur!" You what? *laughs* "What's the deal? You quitting your maid gig?" Yeah Noah apparently so we are moving up to (robot) wife status. *giggles*

P.P.S. "Please... Please hate me." Naobou, I would NEVER. *giggles* Even if you cheated me out of THOSE TWO not photobooks, I'll still love you to the bone. *dabs* (But please though, can we have a proper photobook? With swimsuit, preferably?)

Alright yeti-san what is with your release titles you are going to get me arrested- FBI NO NO NO (lol)

But otherwise, I'm not surprised YUKI-san didn't hit me she is an album-review artist for me anyways. otoha-san though, rather disappointed after what I have heard this year with their 2 other albums, their full album here is meh, but I did pick up some unique melodies and styles which did throw me off, so I'll give them that to end their year. yeti let you notice I only noticed (get it?) recently so it's still new and released this week though its of a remaster compilation from their early days (I can't say indie they are technically still indie), and boy is it even harder to give these guys even though I was introduced to them from mol-74 (which is no more *sob*) and they just hit their 10th anniversary. *silence* I need help to give alternative music now, huh. *laughs*

I also legit forgot to gate-keep releases for next year, I'm just absorbing new releases like a sponge I can't even. *giggles*

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

I mean, FIVE NEW OLD did get me to listen to their EP again and give another song, so I think that worked. *giggles* I'm more amazed they got the collaboration artist singer to join in on the songs they sang with them too, don't know if this is cost effective but they got me for sure. *giggles*

Other than that, oh yeah I'm ready for Polkadot Stingray I guess hehe, and uh, I'm not that keen on whatever Tomonari Sora is doing, to be honest. *shrugs*

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

I totally expected the former 2 years ago when they restarted their band activity so let's hope it's good the trailer so far has potential but I doubt I'll be giving a lot considering this time of year. But it won't be worse than the latter just because Maria-chan's title song for her debut release is somewhat disappointing, and if the pop heavy tune isn't an indicator of what their style might be, then I hope the rest of the songs will be easy to give, we shall see. *shrugs*

LAST STRETCH ME LET'S GO TILL THE END!! *laughs*

Wow, the DayRe: members finally got their own social media accounts? *laughs* Okay not gonna lie if there's more quality images for us that's always good news Moka-chan just danced herself into a follow from me so SIGN ME UP *giggles* (Likes for reposts?? SIGN ME UP AGAIN haha Moka-chan is the best isn't she)

Alright, the plan for next week and if the lack of online sources is any indicator (lol) will be to watch the "Tabekko Doubutsu" movie which had such a stellar voice cast I can't even *giggles* which aired in Golden Week this year which has a Blu-Ray release earlier this week... which I'm giving the subs one week to do this. *laughs* And if not then I'll just do the season preview, it's fine. *shrugs*

Also, by the time you see this, I should (keyword being "should" lol) (Edit: this is so *cringe* hard the write-up for the decision on this is going to be longer than the actual reviews lmao) be confirming the list of thin books to buy for this upcoming Comiket. Yeah. *giggles* They were hard to choose so this time I went for first-come-first-served in order of appearance in Melonbooks (which will miss quite a few who rather choose to sell in-event before putting it for online sale) and subject to disqualification as long as I have any thoughts of someone undeserving of this position of 9 books instead of the usual 6... I know right, it's like choosing who to be the Espada and we know Yammy doesn't count. *laughs* See you guys next time then, and until then... I would have to think of who to give Top 20 for Klassic Note- WHY HAVE I NOT DONE THAT YET!!! *laughs*

P.S. Oh yeah I almost forgot but if this is too long you can leave tbh: Here's a quick slideshow of all the topics I've covered using AI art thanks to that dropdown I mentioned last week.
