It was definitely weird talk about all of this when AnimeJapan is going on this weekend, to be honest, as they announce new things I am trying to keep up with even without knowing of the new shows which I don't think I will care. *giggles* THANK GOODNESS I did the new season preview yesterday because of prayers this morning (not the Christian ones lol) but yes, I will conclude Anime this season for the week. And then IMMEDIATELY pick up new shows because why not, I don't want to watch sequels anymore. *laughs*

So yeah, that and I will express my disappointment in music this week too before I console myself with all the social media images afterwards because why not *giggles* so LET US BUCKLE UP because damn, I just burned half a day again and if you want to know more of my sad life, go read up on my new fanfic of the week first. *laughs* (Is that punishment? I don't know)

Also happy birthday Miyazawa Koharu before I forget and I love you when you just play scissors paper stone on Monday's livestream (thanks to me forgetting to unsub last month and thus I get to watch Moeshi's birthday celebratory livestream with Mikuu too) where you either thrash your opponent like a boss, or lose dramatically like you have to confess to me. *giggles*

Let's next season Anime and music!!

Doing this during while the AnimeJapan weekend is going can be weird, but that also means I can *probably* show those who are involved in the Anime I'll be talking about or at least, if I give them any chance because this season is THE MOST STACKED when it comes to new and interesting adaptations, f**king sequels *pukes* and more popular stuff I don't even care, so let's see what will catch my attention!!

So, in series premiere order, here are my comments good and bad, of what will determine what I watch in the new year- Yeah, winter don't count. *laughs*

The good news is that I will have a spare day to watch more if I miss any of them next Sunday because of a public holiday on Friday and my work leave the following Monday.

The bad news? I have just chosen SEVEN shows to watch just going down the list of candidates. *cringe* Yeah, even Extras won't be enough to cover them but now I'm glad I did leave that one day work leave just to give more chance, and that's assuming that they will hold up. I know the usual troupe of me watching romance dramas is boring right about 5 years ago (lol) but I did want to give that one action series if it holds up to the first arc of "how I destroyed your village" then maybe I'll watch 2 seasons of that.

Also note to self: You will need UP TO TWO HOURS for this, don't do it at night next time. *laughs*

Bro it's an intro quote and then gunfire? This is too real can we not?? *cringe* In this new episode of a series I hope it will be good as soon as I have seen the trailer in the previews (#ShunkashuutouDaikousha01) sorry for the long hashtag but if they are doing sequels I don't want to make this shorter. *laughs* Anyways haha, let's talk about the lore, and what got me in. Firstly? Hinagiku. Yes, she cute. *giggles* I mean, they knew, THEY KNEW they need what is essentially an ambassador to do this "transition into spring" ceremony thing, and this is Anime, so OF COURSE they have to choose the cutest chick on the planet- Oh hey, Agent of Autumn. *laughs* No no not her yet I'll talk about that some time later (and Sawada Hime-chan because ma bro LOVES her rack-) but for now, I'm glad I decided to even give this a chance so I can at least experience another episode of hearing Kiyoko from "Yano-kun" series talk but not on whether if I'm hurt. Well, the kid Nazuna here is emotionally hurt so I guess it's about the same, but Hinagiku's bodyguard and sidekick Sakura is just ruining all of this for us, so can we not like, dunk on the kid considering she misses her mom on her grave more than all the other adults who keeping telling her what to do? *cringe* Alright, you can figure that out already, this is going to be one sad talk. Apart from this kid being the exception to be able to watch this at close range though, and that's also why this duo came in without notice from the area's governance, I would be live that this isn't something to brag about even if it's a power passed down by the gods. See, to be fair, they are doing this, uh, how should I say it, not legally? It's not illegal, but they didn't get the proper assistance from the Agency, so this... might be dangerous. With some risk. Maybe. *giggles* Even though what we are essentially witnessing is the melting of snow (without avalanches it looks like), beautiful girl dancing and singing (is that an original character song???) and then everybody remembered spring like they used to more than a decade ago. *sob* Dude, if I lived this long with TWO seasons of winter?? Just kill me, I can't live with the cold for this long, honestly. *giggles* All in all... yeah, they were spot-on on the "character development focus" part in the preview, oh boy. *cringe* From showing the kid what's up, to her talking about how the lack of spring makes things suck a whole lot more... I am NOT going to talk about how we are already done and we can go home now lol, but uh, let's just say winter is not yet done. They are not yet done with us. *cringe* So maybe I'll take a look at what's up, even though to be fair? I think this is good enough. I don't have to go to Japan to see cherry blossoms no more. *giggles* But yeah serious talk, this is rather interesting, using the theme of seasons in modern times, chasing a myth that exists and how that would affect control of it as I would expect... so let's see where this takes us. With some good faith? Hopefully no longer than... 14 episodes. *giggles*

[TL:DR; If you wonder why they had to air so early, this is in conjunction to the first predicted (and also achieved) cherry blossom bloom of the year in Japan, starting with Tokyo yesterday. Very timely indeed. *wink*]

P.S. "Spring pursued Winter, and Summer and Autumn followed. The four seasons settled into their cycle, but Spring and Winter's honeymoon was no more." Interesting, apparently that's the real lore of the characters too hehe yeah I peeked at their official social media, what of it? *dabs*

You can bring me Suzushiro Sayumi instead of you can't get Kinme Wakana, I'll still take it. *giggles* In this final episode of a series I didn't expect to enjoy but I did (#KiNiShite12) I guess we are concluding without knowing about who is the owner to that plushie we washed last week. I guess we will "wash it all away" then (lol ay yo English title drop?) and talk about Aji-san, of all people. She might be the landlord for this cleaning store that was abandoned by its previous owner and somehow we found a replacement lol what a coincidence, but ironically owes them a favour so I wonder if it's a sin to care more about the old woman who lives by herself just a little more considering Wakana's clients have mostly been old people in the city, to be honest. *cringe* So yeah, you can watch it yourself, and maybe that's why it's good that even in Aji-san's case, she shouldn't have to come down to bring her laundry to her and instead, let the youngster (lol) go to her place once in a while to help her out in case she passes out alone again and this is not like there's neighbourhood watch or something. *cringe* Moving on haha, most of the remaining episode then touched (as in volleyball) on Wakana living here for 2 years now which also means her cleaning store is out there serving the community for that long too, and as word travels, the community knew to repay her somehow... with cake. *laughs* Flowers is alright though, but cake? You think Wakana here didn't have enough on her? *dabs* But yeah never too late to celebrate I guess the goldfish can have a bite of the cream lol. All in all... yeah, all's well ends well, I guess, I really don't have much to say, as with all slice-of-life I just sit and let the world take me like the wind, if youget what I mean. Even though we literally have an old woman pass out in front of us. *cringe* Wait, what are we going to do with Kyushou's d- I mean, adolescence?? *laughs* I guess we won't have a conclusion on that we did have Yagara-san here push it aside for us, and also I guess we won't know more about Wakana's past and whoever is the previous cleaning store owner, but uh, I guess we don't have to. We don't have to know why Wakana-chan is built so well I also want to touch her legs. *giggles* So yeah, it's fine, it's an adaptation anyways. But with the idea of doing this around a community on the small city(?) of Atami? And then getting their voice actress to visit? Yeah, this is definitely different from the rest out there, and I'm kind of glad I didn't pick this up and throw it away just like how most people would with their clothes even though they can be cleaned. *dabs* I mean, same goes for me, but my mom doesn't even give a f**k so you can't blame me. *laughs* Still, glad to have picked up this tbh, we need more hard to swallow yet peaceful slice-of-life series like this, I don't care how stacked is the main girl. *laughs*

[Because I'm a F**KING P**SY for NOT taking a screen of all the married women plus Wakana-chan in the hot springs, here's my worst comments on simping on the female characters in this series!! *laughs*]

P.S. "A trip sounds nice. I'd love to go somewhere far away for a change." How about to my place? *dabs* (Well it will be far away since I'm in Singapore lol)

P.P.S. "I can tell Konatsu and Dai are thrilled to bump into you this morning. I am too, of course." Uka-san you are a dog too- I mean, a bitch? *dabs*

Even if there hasn't been much growth or drastic progress, I still feel like there have been some small positive changes. Yeah, same, Suzuki, that's why I copy from you. *laughs* In this finale of an episode of a series I hold dear to my heart but not really since I can't hold Suzuki to my heart lmao (#Seihantai12) oh yeah, we are having a second season, you bet. *giggles* So yeah as rumoured I've seen that last week already tbh, the sequel is happening not 3 years later, but in 3 months- YUP, so tell me why I should give a damn to the author's other work airing next season because I just like this one more. *laughs* So, before we skip like, another season ahead lol, let's finish this one up. I guess there isn't a conclusion to this series anyhow even though the main couple is rather obvious from the start, but that's just the beginning because we can't get the others to move ahead with their agenda... if they have any. *laughs* So LET US TALK ABOUT our school trip couple Yamada and Nishi-chan, yes? I mean... what else do you want me to say? *giggles* I'm just glad Nishi did take of all her accessories before she met with Yamada, but if I were him the least I would do would be to change her footwear out ie. buy her new shoes or something because CLEARLY she hasn't learned the art of dressing up why is Honda-san not even helping her out on this? *laughs* No really, but heck this is high school life where we only have money for convenience store meat buns so yeah, maybe that isn't quite the experience we were expecting. But coincidentally meeting up with your classmates though...!! Now that is rad. *laughs* (Yeah cue the meme on this hehe you're welcome if you see an image in here) And I think I've said quite enough for these two considering that they have held hands and I want to implode already lol, I guess we can talk about Suzuki and Tani now. Or actually, the "Miyu-Yuusuke" ship. *giggles* I would argue for Tani-kun though? Calling your girl Miyu-chan is easier. Just Miyu-chan. As in Tomita- *laughs* (Sorry but I just gotta) And not like Suzuki has been calling her boi not Tani-kun so heck, maybe it'll take some time to get used to. Also, you think Tani is still concerned how Suzuki's ex has been calling her that way and that's why...? MOVING ON haha, it looks like Suzuki did notice the other two when they arrived at Chinatown around the same time, and did plan on going to the same damn bridge for the scenery- See, this wouldn't have happened if Yamada brought Nishi-chan to a mall to get some shoes!! *dabs* You're welcome for the source material rewrite, author. *laughs* Anyways haha the Ferris wheel is also rad which explains to me that they DO have some budget on their hands even if chances are it came from Suzuki's parents. Directly. Without questions asked. *giggles* So yeah, Yamada, get your sh*t together, you guys are almost a couple already. *giggles* All in all... Trust me when I say I wanted "Tsurezure Children" to be like this and we got the spiritual successor. Double the episode length, double the episodes, double the- I'm not sure if it's double the couples but we will get there eventually. *giggles* So yeah, we got this instead, so THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH. F**king normies. *laughs* I mean, there is no conclusion to this just because, and that's fine, so I won't be talking about how good it is right now because HOT DAMN I just want more of this, and they are going to deliver soon just so I can make dumb jokes on social media (and here lol) so I'm happy. *smiles* Specifically with Nishi-chan. *blessed* Haha ah hey, I also CANNOT WAIT to see the others fall in love with each other like how I was with Watanabe and Honda-san (lmao), so we shall see where this goes. As they say it in Japanese, "things are going to get interesting." *giggles*

P.S. "Am I the only one whose emotions are all over the place like an idiot?" Don't worry Nishi, Yamada is just acting strong. *giggles*

P.P.S. "Somehow, watching the neon-lit night view by the bay side feels very grown-up, and very much like a date." Oh so the previous dates don't count? *laughs* "It's because you mixed in with English." Yeah Tani-kun haha I will let you figure out which part Suzuki just said in Japanese Engrish. *giggles*

[Let's round up the girls for season finale- That sounds wrong. *laughs*]

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

*sigh* (Haha)

Somehow I couldn't believe this could top last week, but it did. No, as in how bad it was. *laughs* Ajikan I can barely give past the title song and even then the melodies aren't great. GLIM SPANKY I did give a record-breaking FOUR SONGS from them but uh, somehow I'm more drawn in to their mellow or emotional songs than the hype ones, but I can feel that from a distance on what to expect, so I'll close my eyes and give the title song or something, I don't care. *laughs* Kyari-san wins with her concept EP purely because of the pop vibes, and I did not care about the title song considering we got like, festiva feels and like, a love song or two here which were waaaaay better so I gave those. And FIVE NEW OLD... is the same new old thing, so 1 song is really as much as I can give them considering I miss their 2019 vibes where I started. *shrugs* Sambomaster might be the best among these considering I was so displeased with the line-up this week so I went to find out more that released this week too, and I gotta say I rather have a simple melody in my hands but-

But yeah, that's not happening anytime soon even with this much variety. *sob*

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

Wow, we saving money by letting your senpai write songs for you guys huh, MusicRay'n 3rd generation members? *laughs* It's not bad though, I'll give you that much, such unison is unheard of... if you didn't play "IDOLY PRIDE" the mobile game. *giggles* Unrelated, is Ten-chan retiring from being an idol and becoming a composer instead, with the "KanoKari" opening theme and now this?? *laughs*

Anyways, apart fro that as a surprise and Aqua Timez who still refuses to die (lol), I'll definitely give a listen to Sakaguchi Ami (even though I would hardly call her any better than the others we have listened to for the year) and KamiSai (which will be FOUR YEARS since their super big album, and even then this one is already half released somehow) (and the background wave of this song is giving me a headache lol) but we shall see how they perform because I can't wait to be disappointed already considering they aren't even my follows. *shrugs*

I will still find peace in Chatmonchy's songs which I DID listen to the archive which was only for a day so I won't post that if you didn't follow me on social *dabs* I think I'm officially what you call "old" now. *laughs*

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

I mean, there's eill-san. *giggles* I'll listen to that in the weekly news coverage as in the above then. I could take a break from music because DAMN this week's was bad enough. *laughs* So I'll just take a break along with the long weekend public holiday, if you guys don't mind.

Wow that was a lot and it isn't even April yet. *laughs* There's a lot going through my brain as I get ready to consolidate the packages (yes, plural) for the week extending into next week, so expect one next week at the least while I think of how to deal with f**king BuyAndShip of all things. *giggles* Yeah, let's talk about fanfics instead in case you haven't read the newest story from yesterday.

As I try to come up with a timeline for the fanfic series for real this time around compared to my plans for last year which failed spectacularly because I was still busy planning for more lore, I uh, noticed I can't figure out how old I am anymore. *laughs* Because I did have 2 years conscription in real life which will make me the same year as Akarin and in university that will make ALL the sense considering I did spend more than a year overseas, but then that will make my current girlfriend Koga-chan older than me. *laughs* So yeah, even if I ignore my REAL age, I don't think I can fix this lore anymore. *giggles* OR I just have to be younger than Koga-chan. *laughs* Yeah, as in same academic year- OR I can stay for another year in high school and catch up to Akarin AND THEN we date for 3 years instead of 2 or 4. I want the full 4 years though, the impact of breakup will be greater. *sob* But then again I don't have that many stories to spread them out so maybe this is for the better. *cringe*

I will figure this out myself and will probably come up with a conclusion along with all this and the timeline in the roundup probably earlier than end of the year I shall see about it, but meanwhile, let's look forward to the longest season of summer ever for this year. In fiction. *laughs* See you guys next time then, and until next time... maybe I will have some chance to get some Isobe Karin bromide photos since ma bro is in Japan right now with his family and I don't even know?? Sorry bro if you have to discretely do this without your family going after your neck lol I hope the commission fee will be worth doing it. *dabs* (Anything, ANYTHING for Karin-chan hehe she can even suck my-)

P.S. Let's count how many outfits f**king Sakura Ayane has worn just this weekend for AnimeJapan alone... ONE TWO THREE FOUR- I'm doing this so you can actually tap on the links on mobile. *laughs* Joke's on her because Kitou Akari has ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE OUTFITS!! One for each event, by the way even though half of them don't look that good on Akarin's tbh. What happened to diversity in voice actress hire when the ratio to dudes is like, 4 to 1? *giggles*
