Okay let's start this, I gotta go out to Muji for a bit later. *giggles*

Welcome back I guess, and I did promise a little more than a fanfic story this week, so go check it out, I'm not going to explain how you may get nostalgic over The Sims 3 just because. *laughs* We are also on the precipice of reviewing Comiket in a couple of weeks assuming it appears on time with my work leave I have planned *dabs* but otherwise, let's just hope it's good because I am SO missing out on something I'm so bored right now I can't even. (lol)

Anyways, let's Anime and music!! I think I may be in a burnout for the latter, just saying. *shrugs*

Hey, good morning everyone!! Now that the power transfer is back thanks Haschwalth for the tip haha, in this new episode (#BLEACHTYBW46) Yhwach is back again. Yep, you didn't expect that, did ya? *laughs* WE ARE SO BACK LMAO but yeah, last week was a filler episode, no one told you that? Guess you didn't get the tip from the Soul King. *dabs* But yeah, spoiler alert from source material, THIS is where the despair starts, and the previous episode was just a reason to show off Ichigo's Bankai (which he never shown to us AT ALL) and Inoue... whatever she was cooking. *laughs* Any Fullbringer from Xcution was cooler than her, by the way. *laughs* So in case you need evidence that this is filler, they made sure Inoue said her last words which doesn't even matter, and Yhwach just um, suppressed everyone else that appeared anyways. Which will explain why everyone else don't matter because their spiritual energy can't compare, and Ichigo gets to release his Bankai again. *giggles* And that's important, because aligning back to the source material and sorry for saying that every time because true fans will want story accuracy *dabs* but uh, Yhwach is the new Soul King now. His "The Almighty" power has also now awakened since it's dawn, and compared to him at night, he now has the power - apart from seeing the futures - to change the futures he sees. Yup, in case you wonder why "THE END" was the episode title and likely the titles from here on, that's why. *cringe* For example, Ichigo's Bankai was not meant to be shown, his sword was meant to be broken, and he should be on the ground like, 2 weeks ago. *laughs* But you know, we gave you some hope to not make you feel bad, so we can see some bada** Ichigo with a really cool Bankai before we erase him from existence. *giggles* Yeah, Haschwalth might live longer than this idiot. *laughs* Speaking of idiots LMAO thanks Ishida, we finally conclude the fight(?) between him and Haschwalth. Surprise surprise, the latter got his powers taken to power Yhwach back into ensuring he can erase everyone near him, but yeah, before that though, as you can see with their bestowed powers ie. Schrifts, they were meant to fight to the death. Haschwalth can deal damage to their enemies as much as it was dealt to them and more can be dealt with that shield, and Ishida can just reverse their statuses. So yeah, this fight will literally end with them dying by each other's sides since not like Ishida can time exactly when Haschwalth can die from just breathing so that he can balance the damage lol I'm not going to suggest that. But yeah, what a waste of time I was like "just move on already" half the time haha, but yeah, it will also later be revealed that Ishida isn't of much threat to Yhwach anyways... in his opinion lol, so I'll just keep it at that for now. *giggles* All in all... Ichigo's scream is my reaction to this episode, or this point of the story. *giggles* But yeah, the true despair has arrived suck it Eren Jeager LMAO, but as you see... Last episode was a waste of time. *laughs* Everything so far is a waste of time. But don't worry, there is a solution to this but I shall not spoil more, so I'll let Kubo-sensei tell the story, as I am myself also interested how they will interpret and thus adapt the source material to show whatever that final ending is. For that, I will hold my breath. See you then. *giggles*

P.S. "A peaceful world, without conflict, pain, hatred, or sorrow." Yeah but that means lots of deaths, by the way. *cringe* How did you think any large country (which names shall not be mentioned lol) got their peace? Yeah, millions of deaths. *giggles* AND IT STILL F**KING SUCKS-

P.P.S. "Because we're friends." Yeah the manga feels funnier than here because did you see Haschwalth's reaction? *laughs* I got no friends LMAO "Transfer your wounds to me before you go." Yeah Ishida, and kiss him while you're at it. *laughs* Happy Pride, everybody.

Yeah it's not funny until you realize this is ensuring that school's funding can exist, by the way. *giggles* In this new episode where Teru-san is the only thing that is to be feared lol (#IbiKona08) but that's every episode but on different contexts, so this week we have the school!! *laughs* Well, that's almost every week from here on it looks like, but with the parents inspecting the school lol it's just for the four noble families, uh, this is stressing all the teachers out. But what a surprise, Teru-san has praises for all the teachers, so I guess no one is getting fired today. *giggles* I also like how math is too much for the mom which is not surprising lol what the f is Arisa studying anyways- Is there even quantum physics back then, or are we still dealing with imaginary numbers? I don't know. *laughs* And everyone in the series has something to talk about with respect to their family. Miya at least got the reputation she needed by showcasing her cringe max presentation in class in front of other parents who doubted her lol, Riru is just there haha that's what we call a flower vase which is perfect for her anyways LMAO, and Koyuki is running for class representative. Wait, what? *laughs* Apart from the pressure she gets from the Inari family just being leaders all around and that's why they can eavesdrop on EVERYTHING lol, but yeah, Koyuki just needs to make a name for herself, and we know, WE KNOW, she is suffering internally so it's not a surprise that she needs some help in order to optimize her schedule or whatever she is doing. *giggles* But it wasn't until Miya went with Gun-chan to the dog park and met some beautiful ikemen of a woman who she talked to about her worries did she gain her confidence to help Koyuki out, but heck, why is that woman so depressing after giving such great life advice though? Oh, that's me in Anime? Thanks. *laughs* But no, that is unsurprisingly, the only last character we have not been talking about, and that is Mikuriya's daughter. And it looks like the mom really has nothing much to worry about apart from her having friends LMAO she is just like her daughter, as the daughter is also the student council president of the school. Hey, we all need a role model to look at, and that is K-Pop ikemen girl- Do those even exist a century ago? I mean, I suppose so, that's likely how she won the elections. *giggles* All in all... all according to keikaku- Wait, what? *laughs* So yeah, we have come full circle, and looks like we have formally introduced all our characters in the series, so that's cool. I would wish they gave Koyuki a little more something but I guess we didn't have to, and it looks like we will have more lore to talk about how that we know all the girls in school. *laughs* Hey, I don't even care about the other classmates who just say class representative is about leadership, or bring up some bar chart about their experience. *shrugs* Koyuki just be like "I'm cute" and I'll vote for her- Oh, I meant Miya-chan? Same same, dude. *giggles*

P.S. "Even if you're friends, it's impossible to know everything they're thinking." Yeah. *sob* "Just do what you feel is right for them." Yeah that's true, if you have friends then they won't mind getting their lives ruined by you. *giggles* (In a positive way, of course) "You can't know what someone is feeling, of course." Wait, are you the same person who talked to Miya at the dog park? Haha me giving advice to people be like

But yeah, Ken-chan doesn't get, if you find out your bestie and sister are fakes? You just move on. *dabs* In this new episode where making the real Asa-chan angry is not an option lol (#YomiNoTsugai21), I guess we should talk about the lore of Zashiki-Warashi. Oh also they are called Danji and Kiri, stop saying the "brother" sh*t or real Asa-chan will actually erase you two. *laughs* With their statement, we not know even more of what happened back then even including how the Daemons knew of Asa and Yuru's parents, so let's talk about it. Firstly, the Daemons aren't from the Village, so they didn't get the twins idea until the elder who had second opinions of seeing some rando villager get such wonderful powers so that explains why Kyouka here was literally controlled by the elder. Now to be fair, the elder could've just get rid of the woman or told her to end the contract at some point but uh... that might be too suspicious especially when recognized by the villagers, so I guess not, but of course all this disguise wouldn't have happened if not for Asa-chan going missing because she left with her real parents. That's all they really know though, and the closest that we got to was that, interestingly, Dera-san's dad was the one (we can't even show his face lmao) who brought these two Daemons into Kyouka's possession, but for a different reason which I guess works as a replacement for lost kids *cringe* but you get the point. Which kinda makes sense now and since Yuru laid it out for us, I will state the obvious. The biggest thing right now apart from finding Dera-san's dad to ask him for more details on what happened to their parents which is basically impossible by now, is why he also disappeared afterwards and specifically when, and that they are likely the main contact for them. And also why they aren't protected even at that stage, and possibly, if Ivan was involved in killing them... if he wasn't lying just yet. So yeah, still a lot of things we don't know, but also likely because the Daemons are being very vague about all of this. Hey, they don't know sh*t they were just doing what they were told. But that also shifts the blame fully to Dera-san's dad who we have NO IDEA who they are, so that's concerning now. But seriously, shouldn't have led Ivan go at the warehouses though, would've skipped past many seasons by doing that. *giggles* All in all... Eh, I have my doubts of you guys's plan, Yuru and Asa-chan. *cringe* Because yes, Ivan reports to another Village we don't know of, which is likely the remnants of the war 400 years ago in which, wink wink, Higashi was supposed to be the known one left. Turns out, not really, and things are likely more complicated than before. I don't doubt Ivan knows anything, but if he's lying, then the only thing we can believe now is Ivan is a pervert. *laughs* But yeah, we barely scratched the surface, and we have only a couple of episodes left, so we are likely left in a cliffhanger. Season 2, yes? I'll be glad to see this through. *wink*

P.S. "I want to end our contract for now so you can turn back into relics... We'll renew our contract once I'm back (from the war)." Well, you can guess what happened. FORESHADOWING IS A LITERARY DEVICE- *laughs*

P.P.S. "Brother! Of course she's cute! She's copying me!" ALRIGHT ASA-CHAN where did your confidence come from?? *laughs* "Feel free to hug me if you think I'm cute." *silence* I wish I was Yuru-kun. *giggles* "Is there anything you want or want to do?" You, Yuru-kun, Asa-chan wants to do YOU. *laughs*

I think the only thing I really got out of this new episode (#BungouStrayDogsWanS209) is that dealing with people is rough. *laughs* For starters, they just branded Ranpo-san as a kid. *laughs* I mean, if Fukuzawa holding that manual to raise a 5-year-old isn't the biggest joke of this week, I don't know what is. No one tell Ranpo-san. *laughs* But he does have friends which is more than I ever have *cringe* but hey, no one tell Poe-san the guy he idolizes likes him- Ah dammit. *laughs* And then they what, went to a zoo because maybe he isn't old enough to enter? *laughs* Moving on though, the other thing worth talking about is the Glasses Committee, because I wonder whether I'm in it or why have I not received an invitation from Kunikida but Ango-san did. *laughs* Also yeah Hirostu is pretty cool with his monocle, it was interesting to see that in season 1 back in the day. *giggles* And no one show the gen alphas those Y2K glasses. *laughs* All in all... I just got reminded that that dude right after the intro was called Mushi-kun. *laughs* That's how obscure that reference is. And I promise you I have watched all 5 seasons of the main series. *laughs* So yeah, not as great mainly because a lot of these aren't relatable but we did get some Kunikida and Fukuzawa, so I guess it ain't half bad. *giggles*

P.S. "It's a business strategy that understands consumer psychology well." Yeah Kunikida, that's called Capitalism, bro. *laughs*

SHE SAID THE THING- Okay not to him, Taira's an idiot just like me, so he'll never know. *laughs* In this new episode where unlike me though someone is in love with Taira lol (#Seihantai21), but do you think he knows? I guess we will big brain analyze this again as with that they two think about each other so far, and maybe, we will get an idea. *silence* Yes. *laughs* Let's talk about why it led to all of this. For starters, Taira is noticing some weird changes on his maybe childhood friend Azuma. She is weird. I know, I know, it's such a bad thing to say about a chick this cute *giggles* but she just got, erm, weirder. *laughs* And I like how Taira did actually notice this difference during the school festival, where LITERALLY WHO WILL GO TO YOU AND TAKE A WEFIE WITH YOU NEAR THE TRASH?? *laughs* I don't know man, if this didn't give her away, nothing will. *giggles* Oh I get it, he thinks he's the trash- No no Taira, that was me, I photobombed you guys. *laughs* But yeah, Taira doesn't know any better, and he knows that he is using his terrible past (and I don't wish that on anyone) to justify his relationship with Azuma which... Azuma knows him well, so if in any case that she likes you, Taira? Then it's likely true. *giggles* Same for Azuma also, but to be fair to both of them, they are going through entrance exams and not ruining all of this for a love confession is great, but DAMN is Azuma suffering all the while and we can't let that spread to Taira who will be the sole breadwinner in the future of this potential family so... *laughs* Ironically, Taira thought he misunderstood since Azuma likely made a potential date between them with the rest of the gang which welp Yamada should've told her how to do this properly LMAO, and Azuma... she just wants to keep things as so, and wait for him to take action somehow- AND THAT IS WHY YOU GUYS WILL BE SINGLE FOREVER SO JUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ALREADY!!! *laughs* (I know right, do I have the PTSD or...?) But still and I am not going to joke about this, this makes me SO DAMN CRINGE, I literally don't mind them to hold these feelings like, until the end of the series. *giggles* Yeah, high school graduation. Like, oh exam's over and Azuma be like "can we date?" and you will see me quiver all over social media and celebrate here when that happens. *laughs* No really, I'm betting on this- WHO IS WITH ME?? *silence* See Taira-kun, just take whoever you can, don't be like me in his thirties and still wonder what love is. *sob* All in all... I want the Taira-Azuma ship to be as cringe as possible, and I will say this again EVEN if we get it. *giggles* Oh yeah, you think we're gonna get it? YOU POOR BASTARD, YOU SURE??? *laughs* Yeah, I won't doubt that we will, but hey, we still have quite a few more episodes left, and I'm edging over here already since they decided to focus on these two... Bro, just, just pop the question. You guys are friends. *giggles* Oh, they are going to do the "see you in college" thing and THEN we'll do it?? GODDAMMIT if they do that, I will find the author and murder them personally. *laughs* Please don't, not with such a wholesome series. *giggles* So yeah, our final couple is in the process of counter-blooming which is a phrase I just invented lol, so let's see how it goes. Trust me, I legit thought we were going in the right direction even though it felt faster than I thought. *giggles* And Yamada and Nishi-chan may be kissing again yeah whatever. *laughs*

P.S. "I don't think I'm capable of doing what's normal for others. It's not that I lack the confidence to date (Azuma). My problem's more fundamental." Yes, but it's all excuses, Taira. You had such an opportunity and you want to miss it? And I don't even have such a thing. *giggles* (Also yeah, you think Azuma doesn't know?)

P.P.S. "But if he doesn't feel that way about me, then I'll just have to wait." Yeah, wait for the pigs to fly- Hey Azuma, guys will take LITERALLY ANYTHING so just ASK HIM OUT!!! I speak from Taira's experience. *laughs*

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

SIX LOUNGE, I really love hate you guys. *laughs*

So yeah, almost SIX songs have been considered and already added to library at this point, but ironically that's assuming that I buy the Limited Edition release which will include an extra 5 more songs which are where most of the songs I have given this time around, with the lack of a slew of music videos compared to their previous album, and quite depending on Anime theme songs which they have embraced over the past couple of years. Not great especially if they are keeping better songs behind pay wall, but I'll take it for now, I cannot imaging Sony Music Japan exploiting the heck out of them even if they appeal to the masses. *shrugs* jo0ji-san was thanks to their live videos last week in the YouTube Music Weekend where they did reveal their previous single song which was ending theme song for "Jujutsu Kaisen" new arc, and it isn't bad so I didn't hesitate to give it along with one of the B-sides. Let's see how they do next week.

And I'll think about if I can don't just ship one CD of Ikimono in the following weeks of single releases. *sigh*

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

Yup, that Ikimono YouTube Station is still going, I just hopped in to hear the title song of their 2011 best album. *giggles*

Okay that Day:Re music video is like a month late- You think that's the only time the girls had time to be together for a summer vacation? That didn't involve swimsuits? *laughs* Okay, there's the yukata at the end of it and I think that's good enough. *giggles* yeti might be the best news this week not gonna lie here, but of course with their alternative music sense I have high doubts I'll give more than like, 2 songs. *laughs*

And SHE'S is already off to a good start with the album trailer, you will NOT be disappointed. I mean, I'm not. *thumbs up*

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

Oh boy, the release bombs in the next couple of weeks will be WILD as seen right here, and those are the ones I remember, I hope I didn't miss any of the Anime theme song releases- Wait, Lia-san should be here also? Oh that's next week, okay. *giggles*

Reviewing order though, likely jo0ji-san first and then SHE'S because we know they are more important here. *giggles* Omoinotake I really hope doesn't disappoint, and SID is likely just a nostalgia trip, I don't recall if they are any new songs in the best selection album. Yeah, again. *laughs*

NONNON WHERE ARE THE SPECIAL GIFT BROMIDE PHOTO PREVIEWS SO I CAN PRE-ORDER YOUR PHOTOBOOK ALREADY before I regret after seeing the recent "IDOLY PRIDE" livestream. *laughs* Which reminds me, I should go roll all my gems for the "Sunny Peace" group casual outing outfits and hope that I even get one, if their gacha odds are even anything to talk about. *sigh* I wish I can talk about my luck, but looks like DOAXVV isn't being nice already, so I might as well shut the f**k up and just play games just the way I hate it. *shrugs* See you guys next week then as in tomorrow though I think I have said my peace, and until next time... I've been playing mobile games again, that's how bored I am recently. *laughs*
