HAPPY BIRTHDAY HORIE YUI- I mean, Tamegai Hana!!! *laughs* I'm SO glad you got a role in "Hyakkano" so I can hear your adorable voice... albeit in a not so adorable role. *giggles*

But that will be for tomorrow which will likely NOT involve her (lol) and not like I want to talk about how Moeshi has been dating some ex male idol for 4 years while this week's phone wallpapers are all her *cringe* so maybe I continue to make the joke about Mina-chan's birthday since Friday because I HAVE BEEN BUSY!!! *laughs* Which also means I've listened to her songs over the weekend while doing up the blog posts because you know, the new package of the month chose to come in at the same time with the doujinishi which got delayed blah blah lol. Good news is, they are done now, and we got more next week!! Not the holidays, I don't live in Japan I don't get to take breaks next week. *sob*

Let's talk more about Anime and music!! Uh, I don't think I mentioned this last week it's also all announced on the day itself which you know I don't look at spoilers *wink* but "Seihantai"  is delayed a week so note to self don't just sit here and wait like a dork, and "BLEACH" is delayed A MONTH???

And that's why you watch all at once when all is over- Nope. *laughs*

HELL YEAH TIME TO GO TO THE BEACH- Uh, Miya-chan? *cringe* In this new episode where little do you know the season final arc is going to be the Kounokura family enjoying summer together  who cares about school lol (#IbiKona11), but it looks like it won't be this straightforward, so let's find out what happened. Everyone appeared at the same damn place. What a coincidence. *laughs* But yeah this is dumb lol, and we thought Teru-san will be bringing the Kounokura family to the beach with a new villa built for such a purpose because they are rich mind you, ended up being a rather popular tourist destination (and it's not because their villa's presence made it one lol) for Riru to have clients there and apparently the student council guys also, yay. *laughs* Trust me, Hachi and Sadame are better people to see appear in such a place, Miya-chan is wrong. *giggles* But well, sadly we don't get to choose as with Riru-san LMAO I mean specifically her, so let's talk about what's wrong with her. Her ego. *laughs* But she knows full well, and it's not like explaining to Takanashi "Love & Peace" Homare (lol) will help anything, because in Homare's mind as she comes down a line of tea appreciation families, knows that we should all stay calm regardless of what happens. Even if someone points at the ocean and says "your mom". *laughs* (OOF) I mean, to be fair to Riru, if we can use Homare to stop all the wars that are happening in the world right now, that'll be good. But if real Homare exists? Uh, she'll likely be dead now on her first confrontation. *laughs* Because OBVIOUSLY if it's purely in the pursuit of peace, she will always get her way. Well, if it's between women. *laughs* I'm sure if 2 guys fight Homare crying won't mean anything. *giggles* But also, at least in this context, they have proven that a fight can also conclude in a "I see you are a being of culture" scenario lol, where Marika and Riru's quarrelling just shows how much they know and care about Miya-chan, but not like she knows. *giggles* But that's probably the thing, Homare doesn't get what it means to just have a quibble, and if things REALLY get out of hand, then I guess you can cry in front of them or something, there are no dudes in this series anyways. *laughs* All in all... Okay, rich people drama shouldn't be surprising, and this will have a lot as I gave this series from the start, so I shouldn't be too surprised if things like this has to happen. But sadly, it's lame at best, and that's why I don't watch like, mainstream drama, for starters. But oh well, get the boring stuff out of the day, THEN we get to see the swimsuits- No? *laughs* 

P.S.  "So the thought of not seeing you all for a while, so the thought of not seeing you all for a while..." Aw, don't worry Miya-chan, we'll get season 2 going so I can see you again. *giggles* (No? We don't?)

P.P.S. "But if it's for everyone's smiles, for love and peace, then it's worth it." You are no Sambomaster I can tell you that, Homare. *giggles* "Riru, did I do something to upset you?" Existenceurgh!!! *laughs* (Thanks, Chiyo-chan from "Hyakkano") As such, no Homare-chan montage. *dabs*

So yeah season 2 got announced which just means this is the new "Bungou Stray Dogs" now because not like Bones Animation is going to continue with that series. *cringe* In this final episode of the first season where we wrap up the fights so far and somehow there are still things happening behind our backs (#YomiNoTsugai24) so let's check everyone else's back to see if they have that yellow root thing on them or not first. *giggles* I like to think it needs to infect a Daemon in order to plant on them, and I don't think at least in Akio's case he has gone that far and certainly not to the higher officials here, so I don't think Gonzo has to worry about that. Or if even one if his Daemons are infected then he's super dead by now. *laughs* So yeah, about Akio. He's gone. *laughs* As in gone to join what looks like Nishino Village, buried deep under the water of a lake with just a stone plague remaining... or so we think. No no, let's just assume that, that's for next season. *wink* To sum this up, I would say Akio is being a piece of shit. Even if we take him word for word, I still don't believe forsaking the place which brought you up is worth destroying them just because your whatever fake mom came in and told you to do it. We all live in a world imperfect from where we were born. And we get over it. We don't burn it to the ground and find a better place to leave. But I guess he can't leave, but this is also NOT the way to do it though. *shrugs* Either way, betrayal really sounds like a final f**k you either way even in any stage he is part of the Nishino Village and I'm not going to imagine he is so BEFORE he was indicted into the Kageomri family *cringe* but hey, Hagure-sensei? We don't have to be this nice to some of them. If we don't want the gardener to die in vain, then our only solution is to keep things tight between the rest of us. So that the yellow root can blow up ALL of us in one go. *laughs* Hey, I don't want to say that's what happened in the Higashi Village meeting of the bandits in the world downstairs, but that's what happened, isn't it? We don't even know whose Daemons those are or if they are just strays. I don't know if Hana-chan's dog Daemons sniffing that out is better or leaving it a distance away is safer, but they did ask for it so I won't comment much. *giggles* Hana-chan is still just faking she doesn't know Dera-san and his whereabouts though, 10/10 acting on theorising that he wants Yuru-kun to take over the world wink wink. *laughs* Hana-chan will likely survive to tell the tale, but who knows about the others? Maybe it is time for Higashi Village to be exterminated... but Nishino, likely. *giggles* Hey Kagemoris, how are you doing? *laughs* All in all... wow did they just end on a cliffhanger?? *laughs* I appreciate them keeping in line with the source material, but we could at least end with a happy lunch, right? *giggles* Never mind then. *laughs* Anyways, let's wrap this long first season up!! Boy, what a ride it has been. It was a slow start, I would say, plagued by lots of lore and starting with an unknown situation with lots of question as we do being like Yuru who also doesn't know anything. But so far? It's holding up... more than I think. I mean, this series has outdone itself in terms of coolness. From the theme songs to the animation to the cast of characters, but I'm sure loyal fans of the author who did the "Fullmetal Alchemist" series are likely disappointed that this didn't live to their expectations. Which is a win for me. *dabs* If we're talking about the story... It's also fine. It gets emotional at times more than it gets funny, but that's fine I guess coming from an action series. I really like the fighting so far, thanks to Ivan for starters, and that's making this better than ever, with Yuru as the back end hunter, Dera-san as a sniper and so on you can see we are literally building the next Battlefield video game multiplayer squad (lol) and it looks like it made more sense about NOT Asa and Yuru's parents' whereabouts now haha so everything else at the least, so let's see where this takes us next time. Boy, I can't wait for more Sumipe- But she doesn't fight and does cleanup though, so that sucks. *giggles*

P.S. "But reality sucks. It's full of unbelievably shitty people, including me." Oh hey Gabby-chan same, maybe we should be together so you can kick my butt because that'll be swell. *giggles* At least my butt will swell. *laughs*

P.P.S. "I've encountered lots of words I can read but don't understand." Me as a Chinese learning Kanji is BASICALLY like this haha but reversed. *dabs* "I only said I read it. I never said I understood it." also me reading Japanese social media posts lol thank you built-in AI translations I guess haha

IN THIS FINAL EPISODE OF MADNESS lol (#BungouStrayDogsWanS212) let's just get this done and over real quick, we have more Mushitaro and whatever dead friends of an illusion... I forgot his name. I don't care about writing I type stuff now lol, so let's move on. *giggles* The party for Atsushi is great though, the best part is telling him to buy EVERYTHING they need to celebrate FOR him. *laughs* Unfortunately, the decorations aren't quite done, so Dazai is here to help him out screw him up. *laughs* Well Dazai eventually did, letting Atsushi drag him by his feet like this is a mission from "Red Dead Redemption 2" lol good joke, but that worked, so I guess no one is the wiser. Seriously, Dazai's a f**king idiot. *laughs* Well, he pretends he does so no one will know who he is, that's why he doesn't pose for the camera OR put his face in the Detective Agency lest someone hunt him down for his nullifying powers. *dabs* Those are all lies, this dork would JUMP IN (get it?) like a dog (GET IT??) if you put a camera in front of him, kind of like my mom whose zodiac is also the dog. *laughs* And whatever Fyodor as dogs I guess, how many breeds did they even feature in this I don't even know. *shrugs* All in all.. it's fine. I want mainstream "Stray Dogs" and they aren't giving it to us, so this is the next best thing I guess. Wrong answer, me. Elise-chan is better than that. *dabs* Also Gin, f**king- Even Naomi got a few lines, dude!! I don't even know what this spin-off series is anymore. It still gave me some laughs, at this point my social media posts on this series is likely more interesting than the review here, so go look back at those, I guess!! I just want more action than jokes, to be frank. *shrugs* 

P.S. "You're as stiff as bread that was left out after forgetting to close the bag with this thing." It's called a bread clip, you're welcome, I prevented further mental damage to your brain because you won't sleep tonight without knowing what that damn thing is you don't remember its name. *dabs*

P.P.S. I thought of putting the Dazai photo montage, but he is killing what little rizz I have left, so nah. *laughs*

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

Oh Suda Keina just flew through my head, so I'm not going to talk about that. *laughs*

Somehow also LUCK LIFE too to be fair and this was listened to on the day itself, and I see familiar song names so I can imagine this is just a re-package *cringe* but then again I have not been giving their songs, so I will likely listen to it again next week after their new music video which I will touch on later. Otherwise, Retroriron did give me another song apart from the title song which was a banger... that is starting to fade lol their songs are a little long imo, and Chilli Beans. just made me want to listen to a pop album. *laughs* For the latter? It's basically sweeping all the single songs plus more, they definitely nailed on the one acoustic titled song. *giggles* Rock band, by the way. *laughs*

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

I... did not bother with the Nan-chan one- Why do they need to many people in one song?? *laughs*

I also don't know what to give of ORAL and DayRe: so I guess I'll leave them alone for now. *giggles* I like how their best so far in their monthly songs is just... okay. *laughs* Nothing else after these though, though I need to be reminded to give more LUCK LIFE a chance, I definitely am NOT in the mood to give them this week, so I don't know how I am going to cook that up for next week. *shrugs*

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

I mean, it has been a while since these guys gave me anything, so I'll try again, since this was recorded at the same new studio Ajikan was in with their EP earlier this year, yeah, Fujieda. And then I'll see if I can go back to LUCK LIFE again, because I honestly haven't given much care about their new songs which are also emotional in nature, and I'm just not in the mood for it. After the above releases? Likely not again. *laughs*

LMAO why is this a game...? *laughs* Oh, I'm referring to an "IbiKona" mini browser game where you bring Gun-chan walking and jump over obstacles. Don't worry, if you fail, your mommy will console you. *giggles* Okay okay coming back to next week's plan. The package will likely appear tomorrow if my terrible calculations have been accurate to far (lol) but even so, I will wait till next weekend to do this, so mainly Friday for magazine *wink* and Saturday for photobook. *dabs* You can figure out which is which because I have been talking about these for MONTHS and I still haven't jacked off all week so- Oh, that's because I was busy with 2D girl reviews. *laughs* Oh sh*t did I just reveal I don't actually *fap* when *fap* is shown on screen?? (lol) See you guys next week then I have said enough and I still need to recover from the gossip and WHAT TERRIBLE BEINGS the paparazzi are these days, and until next time... And that's why I support people who aren't popular. Like MaiMai. *laughs* (Oh, you bet I watched the whole of her vlog where she went to Disneyland with her mom)
