Well, now that I've burned most of my weekend, let's Anime and music. *laughs*

Welcome back guys, where I just played that Foundation game for the past couple of weekends (yes I did not mention it here last week since there's much more important stuff LMAO) and managed to build the... wow I played and I just forgot its name. *laughs* Oh yeah, cloister, in that monastery I took years and years to build while taking no money from my people. *dabs* You don't have to know what that is, I just want some recognition for being a hero. *dabs*

Also I want to give recognition to Anime and music out this week especially with the new season on the former and boy am I excited to talk about doujinshi... uh, next month!! *giggles* So let's!! Oh yeah, "Champignon" had 2 episodes from the start- THANK GOODNESS I STOPPED PLAYING THE GAME ON TIME *laughs*

Okay I got spoiled on social by I forgot who, I haven't even followed the Anime's account yet!! *laughs* There's booba, by the way, hell yeah. *dabs* In this first episode of a series of just an Anime chick working the laundromat (#KiNiShite01), you may wonder, like... Is this what it feels like watching "Summer Pockets" but less cringe? *laughs* But maybe more so, as we are introduced to Kinme Wakana and her laundromat, what looks like shop house where she basically can clean anything for you. Not your heart though, only Arimura Shion from "Alternative Girls" can do that. *wink* In terms of plot line though there isn't much, as we are introduced to her landlady, to people around town who task her with dealing with their laundry, and it's a dignified job here compared to... well, no humans are dealing with laundry where I live unless it's at home and even then you don't want to know how bad my mom deals with clothing because DAMN Wakana-chan here is a pro at it. From removing stains to running a business... She's better than me at my day job. *laughs* Ironically, I think our only clue so far is that this is all she remembered. And she's the only one in the house so uh... you can tell me what happened. *cringe* Moving on though, there is an... uh, interesting part about this, is how much they give you ecchi stuff here and there. Well, just here and there, it's all the same chick. *laughs* From the bathhouse where there is NO SHAME in just putting steam and her naked in there lol, so whatever it is squeezing her melons in front of the son of one of her regulars... I don't know, no one's getting embarrassed besides here so you tell me. Also, can confirm the son is gay. *laughs* All in all... there's something off about this series, and I don't know how to describe it. Yes, the appeal is there I can see why from the girl Wakana-chan who was born from whatever is in the author's brain wave and I thank them for that this is the perfect woman for it. *giggles* Even down to her everyday life, this is the ideal life I wish I lived in if I wasn't living in the city with tobacco to breathe from the neighbour in the apartment I live in, and kids playing in the park right below me. *sigh* No, I don't get why the lighting on the characters are somehow off when the environment drawings of the town is so good I can't even- Did you even see the sunrise? DUDE!! We need a landscape art of that. *giggles* I also don't get how Wakana here is excessively using the word "cleaning" when "sentaku" is the word for casual speech (and I don't mean when she refers to the laundromat), so that is kinda weird every time you hear it. But I will give this the 3-episode rule to see where this is going, and if the slice-of-life stories will stick with me. Hopefully so, I don't want to be like the stains in her laundromat that will come off no matter what she does to me. *dabs*

P.S. "I put each piece (of the suit) in a double mesh laundry bag and wash them separately in cold water. Then I hang them to dry overnight... I give them a tough ironing. Front and back, straightening out the seams, very, very carefully." So basically make them so damn soft and then stiffen them up again?? Been there- NO WAIT *laughs*

P.P.S. "Of course, I won't charge you for that, and if you aren't satisfied, I'll happy reimburse you for it!" Wait, what? *laughs* Come on it's free, it can be bad and I'll thank you for it. *dabs*

But she's super old though, sorcerers like her probably lived for centuries already. *cringe* In this new episodes and I meant in plural because they aired the first 2 episodes at once by the way (#ChampignonNoMajo01), dude, just get someone to do errands for you. But yeah, that'll eat into the books budget just like how her poisonous mushrooms will eat into people with her every step. *cringe* Okay, for starters, this isn't a happy story. We are immediately met with Luna and her dire circumstances living outside this little town, where white witches reign supreme, and black witches like her are a miracle to be alive. Still, it still makes her happy to be making medicine for the townsfolk albeit rather roundabout and only because the aporatheary apothecary (haha) and the bookstore owner knew of her and her... interestingly poison/curse removal powers that people know little about, as seen from being able to make medicine to cure a limb, to dealing with the one cursed book which killed 150 people. *cringe* So yeah, as the subtitles said, all is well. Well, not until she had to see a couple in town making out- *laughs* Okay not making out, but flirting. AND SHE GOT HORNY- Dude, you wish, she doesn't even know how to finger herself yet. *giggles* Of course, I'm talking about romance, the holy sacred thing imaginable only for the people who have experienced it... Or if you had paid enough to go to an idol's fan club exclusive event. *laughs* Like, it's obvious that she knows to not involve herself too much with humanity or even just the town itself lest the royalty come for her and stuff, but still, when you desperate for that embrace... Well, my bro was desperate and that's how he got a gf now, so... Not me. *laughs* So yeah, she did kind of get what she wanted, and of course, as reminded my The Crow (lol) who was let's just say a mentor to her, will remind her that bewitching (get it?) any human will likely have to bear its consequences, in which case dear Henri here got cursed with a blooming mushroom grown so pretty, you don't even know it's keeping him bedridden after being drawn on paper a couple (get it?) of times. From dancing in the ball to being so intimate it'll make his ex jealous LMAO, Henri here sure knows how to get a woman. *laughs* Not the white witches commanding him though, we aren't that successful yet. Still, it is reassuring to see that there is romance in the air, though normally people would just wear masks and clean up everywhere Luna-chan goes. *giggles* Hey, just so you know, she did just place some magic (I wouldn't say curse but) which makes him not look like a loser? So yeah, she did this all by herself. A reminder about why she shouldn't interact with humans again, why don't ya. *dabs* But hey, I would argue she found true romance. After so many centuries? I mean, at least she found it. I wonder when is mine going to happen. *cringe* All in all... Yeah, imagine watching the trailer and then you saw through to the end of this?? THEY BE KISSING NOW, DUDE!! *laughs* Okay in paper, we can't kiss in real life unless we tied the knot and you know it. *giggles* Damn, I really expected like, just stories of a witch similar to "MajoTabi" or even darker and such, but if it evolves into a sad romance story... Maybe sign me up? This will be interesting to see just mainly because the emotions that come with it in general as you can see they emphasize her shy emotions quite a lot but not enough to state the obvious, and I guess the narrator is important in this story or else it will fall apart just like how Henri did talking to Luna all this time. But looks like fate brought back them once again, and moving forward... Who knows? Maybe this isn't all over just yet. But it feels like episodic so far, so I'll take a look at another episode to see what's up, I guess. Somehow more interesting than "KiNiShite", I'll tell you that much. *giggles* For starters, the theme songs are great with not Aimer-san as the opening theme and hey Ms.OOJA it has been a while for the ending theme song. The soundtrack is AMAZING- Alright I should stop haha this is what happens when you show me a black-haired maiden. I don't even care if she's a black witch. *laughs* I do mind the animals/familiars though why must they sound like little kids- FBI NO NO NO (lol)

[Well this is a 2-episode special so episode 1 here first then the other one later]

P.S. "...but because she could still sell medicine and buy her dearly beloved books in this human world, she has not completely give up on it yet." Yeah me put replace medicine with programming and books with... well, you can read the other posts in this blog. *giggles* "...but there are many common things that humans can do but witches cannot. Perhaps romance is one of them." OOF haha this is too real dude and this is Anime

P.P.S. "When I'm with you, even with all your poisons, my heart, even the air around me feels like it's been purified." Would you say it has bean "cleaned"?? *dabs* I meant Kinme Wakana. *laughs*

Oh, and they live next street to each other? I would assume she knows. *giggles* In this first episode of a new series you should expect me to pick up haha (#Seihantai01) because the only thing I know how to pick up these days is not girls but cheesy character contrast romance comedies. *silence* I am not a loser. *laughs* But Suzuki here might be a loser as we see her from the start, having to deal with a classroom seat change and luckily, for better or for worse, got to sit beside Tani-kun, the... I don't know if he's the smartest guy in class, but he has glasses on so I suppose he is. *laughs* Of course the shtick here is that she is sitting beside her crush- AND BOY IF YOU HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED THAT AS A STUDENT- I'm not sorry. *dabs* No really, it was great, together at the back of the class too, that was pure Heaven. *giggles* In my case though, I'm just surrounded by other girls who know I like her so uh... probably worse than you think. *laughs* But Suzuki though? She got all the range she got. Her friends and classmates are sitting all over the place in class, yet the only she knows to talk to her boi is uh, casual chit-chat with her friends and then mic pass to him like he was in that conversation? BRUH. *giggles* Of course, keeping this up has its issues, as she is more than just worried about people finding out that she likes the one sitting beside her, she doesn't even dare to ask to walk home with him if not for prying eyes watching them walk side by side like a paparazzi headline waiting to happen. I'm not going to tell you if this will come back to hit her haha of course it did, but more surprisingly, Tani did just go ahead and hold her hand like they were already a couple so AY YO IT'S MUTUAL??!! This Anime is not real. *laughs* Hey, this kind of luck I may not have, and boy did Suzuki need to apologize to the Lord by lying down on the ground for a while haha yeah return some of God's powers- She might have summoned Cupid earlier, to be frank. *laughs* And then went on to like, be late for school, deny dating with Tani-kun behind his back, and THEN failed to apologize...?? That's the thing though, for what?? *silence* I know it sounds normal for us to say sorry for... holding hands haha hey this is still awkward despite its circumstances, but considering this is super self-aware Suzuki with her heart pounding in her ears? I wouldn't say they are my crush too. *giggles* Which is funny 'cos she did it despite the lack of a phone so she didn't even consider to call him to apologize- Well, I guess she doesn't know his number but still. *laughs* It's shrewd, it's weird, but it works. And I like Tani's reaction is basically "I gave in" LMAO he didn't have a reason to hold her hand by the way. THAT MEANS IT MUST BE LOVE- All in all... oh you poor, poor girl. *laughs* Actually, you "too-pure-pure" girl. *giggles* (That's a "Kannagi" reference) And yes this series is full of these pure-pure girls and boys, and if this is your thing, why not join me in experience youth again for the nth time coming? *dabs* Soulmate not included. *laughs* But she has one now, so SUCK IT YOU LOSER (lol) but yeah, we are going to see more of this lame, awkward, even cringe sh*t so if you are into this whatever festival we are having in this series, then join in as we experience not-so-straightforward not-so-indirect "Tsurezure Children" again!! *laughs* I'm sure this will be different in so many ways than other, maybe polar opposites in approach if you ask me. *wink* Also, the opening theme song is sponsored by Spotify? *cringe* Many new things we are seeing with this series hands down, and this might be my favourite this season. Suzushiro Sayumi as a pink-haired gyaru is just bonus. *dabs* With this series' source ended, we can but hope this will be a happy ending. *thumbs up*

[TL:DR; As opening theme song artist has said and I quote, "Let's go home together" it's basically saying I love you isn't it AND SHE COULD NOT BE MORE RIGHT *laughs*]

P.S. "And he has the same attitude no matter who he's with." For now. *giggles* "Tani-kun doesn't adjust his behaviour without good reason." Not yet. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Reading the room... I'm completely doing this for my own sake... And yet sometimes it tires me out. Why is that?" I WONDER WHY DUDE hehe my mom should watch this Anime "My heartbeat is so loud I can hear it pounding in my ears! Am I dying?" Yes. *laughs* "We're in the might be mutual but not yet confirmed phase." Yeah we can't be holding hands together yet we can only hold hands with Jesus- *dabs*

[This is only Episode 1 and I think I took more screens of Suzuki Miyu than everything else I can't even SO MORE OF MIYU-CHAN!! *laughs* (Don't think I forgot that lol)]

Okay, it's not much, but you can guess who won. *giggles*

Enpitsu isn't my preference anyways I would argue they nailed it on the EP released last year, so this is just to compensate for a job well done... and I think I only have one song added to the library, not gonna lie here. *shrugs* Dannie May though, did hit me with familiar beats here and there which made this quite a hard review to deal with, but then I had to listen back to it twice- Apart from the title song though, it's about marriage proposal done in the most direct way possible considering the lyrics, so that's not hard to give, to be honest. *laughs*

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

Okay Scenarioart, I don't know what you're cooking there, but you are. Also ironic, isn't it? Kana-chan featured in a Polkadot Stingray music video. *laughs* Also cooking, by the way, and all the Anime theme songs revealed so far that I was watching just earlier. I think the only one not cooking so far might be Akarin and that music video. *cringe* Even the ORAL CIGARETTES music video's... song was good ngl. And excuse me while I go watch Tsuji Shion's live just because I was watching Anime just now. *giggles*

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

There isn't much new stuff coming out next week apart from digital singles so I'll follow up on that, and as my work week is shorter thanks to that Animal Crossing update *dabs* I may just listen to a few more releases of past years if I can get past the new Anime theme songs first.

Yeah, Cwondo again... is a choice lol I've warmed up with haruka nakamura's EPs I think I'm already. *giggles*

Okay, 2 things before I end this week because next week AND next month is going to be hype even if this week isn't. *giggles* As hinted just above actually, I will take leave next week just to play Animal Crossing just because I can run a hotel on my island and that is DOPE haha I have not been playing it even though I said to do so since the start of the year to gather resources but all I did was just clean up weeds and flowers that grew off path. *laughs* And my plan for the next doujinshi fair post has changed: I will be, to celebrate Comiket's 50th anniversary and I am not kidding, reviewing EIGHTEEN (18) BOOKS IN TOTAL WITHOUT EVENT CATALOGUE so it'll be super hype once I can get that going... next month haha and I will make sure it lands on my birthday week just so I can ignore whatever Chinese New Year is about anyways. *dabs* Yeah, they are going to ask the same questions and I will give them the same answers again, what else is new. Hopefully that will change next year...? DO SOMETHING ME YOU F**KING LOSER GET YOUR RESUME OUT THERE ALREADY GEEZ- *cringe*

P.S. Just in case you think I'm lying just throughout this very post, here are the towns from Foundation video game I created in the past 2 weekends, just 2 towns:
