Okay I know it's already degenerate of me to ONLY play the new Animal Crossing update for the later half of this week, but what if I told you I spent EVEN more time buying all the damn turnips hoping I don't lose half my savings by next week? Will update if I actually make a profit. *laughs*

There's more I can talk about honestly including how I STILL haven't bothered to start job hunting (lol), but hey, the new year starts next month, so after that. *laughs* Meanwhile, I still have to wonder how to give the "Prism Rondo" Anime considering that they are Netflix exclusive and worse, they are on demand so no TV simulcast ie. I can't talk about episodes every week. *silence* I can just so that starting this week for each episode moving forward and that will still take 2 seasons?? Bruh *laughs* So I'll at least take a look first, I don't have high hopes for this, not even with its lack of schedule. *shrugs*

So more of that haha, and then music of course, in this week's roundup!! Wait, is this called a roundup also? *laughs* I mean, I am going to talk about more Animal Crossing later in the outro so... yes?? *dabs*

I think we will go along with this, 2 episodes per week until I can clear this within this season. In this new series of an Anime where we are reminded to get used to change (#PrismRondo01), change is happening to Lili who somehow has a rich mom who can send her to an arts college in Japan, so yeah, I want that change too. *laughs* But Lili is smart enough to make this change lest she has to deal with marriage *ugh* and kids *ugh* and whatever that boutique the mom is running without bloomers *pukes* haha she would NEVER have seen London for herself. The shtick? This is a story about a hundred years ago. *laughs* So, the theme should already get whoever is interested in this a glance, so maybe let's deep dive into what is about this anyways. Lili arrived by ship to London surprised by the scene around her, her art so far is probably already fading in comparison, and she is lost but guided by some weirdo drawing on the streets and giving her bread so black you would think he's racist. *laughs* Also typical woman getting lost in the streets- And this isn't even in Japan. *laughs* I'm going to make those jokes until I'm used to this England setting so don't mind me. She is then greeted by the cart driver and then the Professor- Or Rob from "Shinigami Bocchan" haha really I can recognize his voice from a mile away, and thus we know that Lili is here to be, not just to learn to be, the best oil painter in this academy, as instructed by her mom. And ironically, the guy to beat was the weirdo she met on the street. Coincidence? *giggles* Yeah, just beat this guy. You know, make sure he doesn't live till tomorrow and then make sure you can beat No.2 in school. *laughs* It didn't take long for us to know about that with her very first art assignment (#PrismRondo02), of drawing an expression of the sky. Thanks to the rumoured sisters of pranks lol which is probably also why Lili should really listen to Dorothy here and take note of the guys these jerks are dating or wooing or I guess you better not even talk to them lest I ruin your social life- You know the thing, this is half a prestigious school after all. *giggles* Sadly, she lost her blue paint in the process *wink* but wasn't smart enough to paint the sky without it I would argue she can just use white for a cloudy sky, or orange and purple for sunrise and sunset but uh, I guess the weather's great in the middle of the afternoon so that doesn't count, huh. And that's why that weirdo Kit deserved to be No.1 just because of his own drawing of a reflection of the sky, and not using blue paint while giving it to the first girl he sees thinking that she needs it. Just let her struggle, dude. then I won't have to watch this series. *giggles* But yeah, even so, as we see Kit look back at her work and somehow inviting her to see whatever flowers in some cave (which I'm very sure is an euphemism for his crotch lol) and I'm sure for all the weird fabulous things he can do, he can't do normalcy and pureness unlike Lili. And I think that's what the main story will likely be about. You would even say that are polar opposites- Okay, wrong Anime. *laughs* All in all... hey, if you expected romance or them becoming a couple? You'll have to wait for Episode 21. *laughs* Joke is this is only 20 episodes long so IT IS NOT HAPPENING YOU LOSERS- Unless they make a sequel. *giggles* Okay, let's talk about what I liked about this. If you came in for Tanezaki Atsumi who voices a very normal girl from Japan... No, "Frieren" doesn't count. *laughs* That is already worth first place. *wink* 2nd place though... I mean, ladies, if you haven't gotten bored of Uchiyama Kouki's voice I suppose I can deal with another "Horimiya" ripoff. *laughs* But yeah, it's your somewhat unsuspecting romance waiting to happen, and I'm sure Lili will go back after half a year because don't even dream of defeating Satan you dear angel *blessed* haha alright me, but yeah, seeing where this is going? I really hope this original series won't disappoint. So far Chilli Beans. singing the theme song (without animations btw *pukes*) and Lili-chan here is carrying this ngl, and the technical stuff isn't as heavy as I thought, so maybe we'll see this through. Yes, 2 episodes at a time. See you then.

P.S. "A nation that was ruled by a woman." Well not anymore!!! *laughs* Uh, RIP Elizabeth II. *salutes* "Here, whether nobility or common folk, man or woman, everyone studies in the same classroom as equals. It's quite rare, you know." OOF haha hey it's progress, okay? We can't keep taking this for granted. *giggles*

P.P.S. "Do you want to know how to defeat me?!!... You must eat this!!" Hey, at least it's not wet bread. *pukes* "That's right. The results are up, aren't they?" YEAH LILI I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE YOU GET SECOND!!! *dabs*

[And since Lili-chan is so adorable even though the Netflix bit rate is ass lol, let's have more of her! You're welcome, me. *dabs*]

Did we ever find out how old is Wakana-chan here? *silence* I don't want to know now. *laughs* In this new episode where age is merely a number just like cup size haha what (#KiNiShite02) work is also just obligation- How did the woman just shout from 4 floors up and you have to carry her laundry wtf? *giggles* And that's why people are this nice in the suburbs, dude. You don't get jerks like me. *laughs* Okay, now that I think about it, maybe those guys at Ishimochi's inn might also be kinda *cringe* but let's not raise it up anymore. *giggles* Still, we are moving on with these mini story arcs that happen here and there as we find out more about the people in town, and let's start with Ishimochi. Not the kid, his mom. I already forgot the kid's name. You think he is like, adolescent and noticed Wakana's rack or what...? *laughs* Ignoring him though not like he gave us a hint or anything besides mirroring the mom lmao, Wakana did have to pick up laundry at her place and pick up her umbrella which she lent the boy a while ago, so why not, it's part of the job anyways. Man, and that's why I can never understand working a job like this, carefree yet caring even if it means working overtime or the schedule had to change. Yeah, AND she still managed to get their laundry done earlier than expected? WHAT DEMON IS SHE- Haha I wish she was. *wink* We also found out about her past a bit, and yes this is not a joke, she only had memories from 2 years ago and before you ask about its origins... I think I'm more keen on why Ishimochi's boy was thinking she might have an idea about THEIR past, if there is any. So uh, we thinking the boi is part of Wakana's past that she doesn't remember? Ooooooo *giggles* I'm sure it isn't romantic. *laughs* And then, we have Nairo-chan. This kid is a mess. *laughs* As in, she needs some manners and has a pampering grandmother and mother I would argue which is probably why she just drew on her mom's white top AND her own top which she just took off in front of a laundromat with a front-facing glass window- Can someone teach her some manners around here? Geez. *giggles* But yeah, apart from her interest in stain removal after coming over here to visit her grandmother, she also is more than keen to help her gramps clean up... well, pretty much everything Wakana can clean here. "Leave it up to Kinme", remember? *wink* Well, Wakana may have gotten more than what she can chew, but if there literally is anyone who would clean up a sail banner from decades ago when her grandfather... her deceased grandfather RIP btw, when he was a fisherman back in the day... Then it's likely her. I just hope she can pay though; ;We aren't doing all of this for free, by the way. *laughs* But I'm sure we can, just treat her to some grilled fish. *dabs* All in all... I'm not used to people being this nice. *giggles* Because I'm not. *laughs* Maybe that's why I'm not too keen on this series as I thought I would. Thinking back, I also feel that I am not into the vibes of the trailer I watched back then, just maybe influenced by the theme songs, I suppose. I will give them another episode as to conclude this mini story arc, and to see I can wrap myself around this series or not. If not... maybe thinking of it as a trip around Atami as promotional material would be a more appropriate label for this, if it even holds up to... whatever its theme is. We shall see.

P.S. "I can't even remember if I had any family at all." OOF "My memory only goes back two years." Well, I suppose it's good if we don't have to remember how many times she has been raped- *laughs* YEAH, BY ME *laughs*

P.P.S. "But I would love to spray the steam! Pretty please, Kinme-oneesama?" ALRIGHT WHAT THE HELL IS THIS EVEN *giggles* "I promise to be a very good girl! I will do anything you say!" OH NO DO NOT SAY THAT FBI THIS IS NOT WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE *laughs*

Okay she is not close to me yet so maybe we can get to that part first. *dabs* No seriously, who's this mysterious lover of hers? I thought it was that dude last week? *laughs* In this new episode where we thought the black witch shouldn't be able to experience love (#ChampignonNoMajo03), and then we have this intro? Hmm... And now we have empathy? Bruh. *shrugs* This will make sense after all of this though, but I have to say, I think I have bigger qualms with this series so far, specifically this episode, so let's talk about it. In a nutshell, this episode brings us the cursed child, and no, we are NOT talking about Harry Potter. *laughs* To put it simply so that I wouldn't be pissed on how none of Luna's familiars understood what happened, someone probably tried to destroy the curse that was on what seems to be the heir to the throne mainly because the curse will grow within him and possibly, destroy all things in this world, also known as "The End of All Things". Oh, you mean AI. *laughs* What I'm not too sure is whoever kickstarted this, but more likely it was born within as described by The Crow- I mean, Claude haha, this feels like a problem Luna knew to resolve. She knows this because, as with her escape to I don't know where and be absorbed by some yellow blob of not cursed stuff I have no idea what that is by the way it does look like a great beanbag but maybe too bright to nap on LMAO... Uh, apparently she is one of them too. Yeah, think of this as like, a race that can happen? I don't know, this doesn't feel natural, and more ironically is how this can happen in a world now run by White Magic, and that's why the Black Witch Council is at Luna's abode is EVEN more bizarre to me. I'm not going to make jokes about whatever that Water Magician is made of because poop with water is already going to make me *pukes* lol, but suffice it to say that these guys probably detected and found out (from Claude tbh his master is part of the council) that Luna might be taking care of such a cursed being, and is here to retrieve them to prevent them from ruining this world. Just like Luna almost did- No, wait. *silence* Yeah, and this is what I think might be the problem here. I kind of get it though, but presentation-wise... really isn't that great, if I am to be honest. No really, the magicians in the council weren't even cool!! How the f**k did they manage to sell the manga- Ugh. *laughs* All in all... did we just ended up learning that Luna just like blondes and will do anything for them? *laughs* Huh, that's a problem. *giggles* Yeah okay, it's probably just a coincidence, otherwise we would all be cursed younglings. *laughs* No, I am not blonde, and I will not be taking more questions. *laughs* Still, besides the absurdity of whatever just happened in this episode, I am still surprised this has more hook than whatever "KiNiShite" has going on for them. *shrugs* I don't know, but I think the biggest problem in this series is going to be the character design. Like, I'm pretty sure there's a better way to reveal this faster and/or explain the lore earlier, and I'm not even talking about the familiars Luna-chan has by the way, I wish Claude would already turn that beef into a burger. *laughs* But yeah, given that the holy entity taking in Luna isn't even holy enough, and that the black magician council looked like a bunch of losers, I am really not okay with that. *silence* Look, they did give us such a wonderful intro of a 2-episode special, and then it looks like we are in some high school Halloween party? They could be more serious than Claude, I'll tell you that much. *sigh* I will see if I need to drop this one too if this goes on. We were doing so well with the lore, I don't think the new characters introduced will make me want to continue with where this is going.

[I honestly only took screens of Luna-chan so don't mind me while I only show here here hehe]

P.S. "(Luna) worried that if she touched me, her poison might instantly melt that beauty away..." I wish I was this handsome. *giggles* "...or turn it inside out and transform it into something else entirely." Hey, anything to make me look better than I am right now, I might as well be cursed already. *laughs*

P.P.S. "All the ugliness, terror, and wickedness of this world compressed and concentrated into a single, walking, poisonous blob." Wow I didn't know I was in this Anime. *laughs*

Wow, that's a peaceful intro in Anime if I ever seen one. *giggles* Well, not until the friend appeared, of course. In this new episode where we cannot forget that we are dating now haha what (#Seihantai02) OF COURSE I WAS JOKING lol they haven't ACTUALLY went on a date but I guess they are together now, so that's good for starters. Yeah, I meant Tani and Suzuki, the others aren't that far into this yet. Romance, I mean. *laughs* So, about their first date. I like how we have to worry about like, the emotions from each side in such things as typical of the first date of a newly formed couple of course, but this one went on a different direction. You would call it a polar opposite direction- You get the idea. Even from the start as they think of how to talk to each other more... You see that happen in Anime right away from those who have experience or just naturally by their character, but we have a weirdo and the silent assassin here so NOT unlike The North Witch and The Northern Yeti or whatever movie they just watch lmao, so this is not going to progress that fast, and that's what I think sets the series itself apart. Just you know, being detailed about the weirder stuff that people find endearing or even embarrassing BRO I WANT TO RUN AWAY FROM EMBARRASSMENT JUST LIKE TANI-KUN I CAN'T EVEN *laughs* But unlike me who will run until I hit a concrete wall lol, Suzuki brought him back to Earth and told him that is cute instead of even saying "me too" because damn, we know Suzuki toned down on expressing herself and hiding her weaknesses already but it's still there, I'll promise you that. *giggles* Apart from that though, things happen in the most unique of ways which is always fresh to see in such a genre and I like that, and between Suzuki trying to keep up on what's left of her feminine image (lol) and Tani just being himself while he tries to analyze through his own brain the plot of the movie he just watched... I'm sure there's a difference between watching a movie for an exam and watching it for fun, so don't worry about it bro, as long as you guys enjoyed the movie, we know that didn't matter because you got each other. He said it too at the end which was sweet, you see how Suzuki didn't ask for a candy anymore? Yeah, we can't keep relying on Yamada on this relationship, you know. *giggles* All in all... I know that the source material is over but how the heck did they get a sponsored manga running that I saw earlier this week? *laughs* No, not joking, go look it up. But yeah coming back haha not unrelated by the way... Yes, this is a good romance Anime. *dabs* And going forward, I think we are somewhat done with the couple for now, and I would think the focus would shift towards the other people in class, and we shall see what else they have to offer. I mean, you can NOT top the Suzuki-Tani combo... or could you? *dabs*

P.S. "And Suzuki's reputation or whatever isn't gonna change, but my opinion of your entertainment value has increased, Tani!" I tell you, I will take that reputation hit. I'm waiting. *dabs* "Is it okay for us to hang out here like normal?" No, get the heck out of my sight right now, you light bulbs. *laughs*

P.P.S. "Pandas are cute, aren't they?" THEY SURE ARE haha thanks Nan-chan!! *giggles* (Also yeah, Suzuki probably is going like "he noticed it!!" and is so hyped she can't even) "Sorry! I've gotta go cut some hedges." Okay Suzuki you can't say that any sane dude that isn't Tani-kun will think you're going to shave your- *cringe*
[I'm pretty sure this will change soon enough, but for now MORE SUZUKI COMING RIGHT UP!! *giggles*]

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

Oh I legit thought Sakaguchi Ami changed music label but her Wikipedia page still shows her under Epic Records label? Whatever, it was a new EP so might as well listen to it, and looks like I was only keen on the title song, so I'll take that. No Buses' vocalist Cwondo performed the same as their previous album of random music but this time around probably made worse with scratches and off beats, so I won't talk about how many songs I added into my music library- They better be glad it's at least one. *laughs* Sisters In The Velvet also, just saw their name while browsing Apple Music recently (lol) so gave a listen, ironically sinking into that one song long enough to put many moments of silence (well, it's not silence but still) while still riffing their usual rock beats, so I'll take that. Don't watch the music video(?) though. *laughs*

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

Wow, did SPYAIR screw up their new song based on their own style?? *laughs* No really, if you can hear the mess in the verse leading up to the chorus, please let me know. Or if you don't care. *giggles*

Kaeri no Kai's song is cool though, I cannot believe how "Assassination Classroom" re-air can bring in so many artists to write theme songs for them almost making the original airing theme songs terrible in comparison. *silence* Putting that aside though haha, Chatmonchy releasing all their music videos now is kinda weird but welcome tbh, yanaginagi is just releasing a new album the soundtrack is not necessary lol, and w.o.d.'s new song is kinda cool ngl.

And I think you can read the rest of the new releases that are coming which is a lot to be honest and kinda hype, we are running out of future music releases at this time of year, to be honest. *giggles*

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

Next week there isn't much, so I'll spend some time giving Anime theme songs AFTER I think of whether I want to give the shows first which I cannot believe is a problem this season lol, and then maybe I'll explore Ms.OOJA for a bit, I legit only heard of like, 2 songs including the new ending theme song and previously thanks to HOME MADE KAZOKU, and I think I need to give her more chances.

No, her new album isn't her last even though the title says "final episode" lol at least I don't think so? *shrugs*

I think this season's Anime is really reminding me that the tempo or pace of storytelling in Anime is more important than ever, considering the many people who make these adaptations happen. Or I'm just not in the mood to watch them. *laughs* I probably am not, thinking about "my career" among other things. *silence* ANYWAYS haha I should just stop doing that my life rant isn't Entertainment News, and I legit though that plenty is releasing new best albums only to notice they are only on vinyl, and everything is just an effort on the music label's part to earn money, nothing to do with the band themselves. *silence* Then who cares lol even though if you slap it on the music streaming services I might actually care about it next week, who knows. *giggles* Now that my hype is all gone now and the spine is hit with my career options once again, see you guys next week (haha) where hopefully it will be better (it won't) and maybe until then will I weigh my options and (highly unlikely) I will have the mood to talk about Anime and music again. *shrugs*

P.S. Heck, I might as well talk about the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons update a bit, yes? Also a good reason to show off all the 8 hotel rooms poorly designed by yours truly because I was spending more time changing the layout of the island I had (I did not restart btw) and harvesting resources as I SHOULD have done since last week but I didn't? *laughs*
