Wow, a lot can be done over a weekend to combat psyche from work stress, huh. Thank goodness I don't have to talk about how I screwed up-

Welcome back, it's about time this blog got another post. *giggles* I know I know, the package is coming soon-ish, but the problem with Buy&Ship is we're exchanging shipping fees for time for consolidation in a nutshell, and that's something I can't control especially when I did another auction run (LMAO), which also means good chances we'll have no packages this month. *laughs*

So yeah, tricking and treating myself to the new DOAXVV update which was delayed due to the web panicking about a security flaw on Wednesday lol poor producer had to apologize for every day this passes until it's done... 2am on Saturday *cringe* and Ten-chan screaming on the rollercoaster during the Anime "Mieruko-chan" specials. *giggles* And Ede-chan with black hair, that was scary to see. *laughs*

Let's Anime and music!! Especially Anime this is the week where Yhwach gets-

Oh yeah, this is where Yhwach is in liquid form. "Liquid Eyes", they call it. *laughs* In this almost final episode of this action of a series I've been watching for almost 2 decades (#BLEACHTYBW49) we finally take down the Soul King. The NEW Soul King. The Soul King that was never meant to exist. But after 999 years? I think we can say confidently that, WE GOT HIM. We got him good. *giggles* Remember to slap like 20 asterisks at the back, me, just in case you lie to the wider Internet lol. Also, that's for next week. *giggles* So, what happened. A lot. I might as well talk about the differences between the Anime and the source material at this point, because as a summary MIGHT I REMIND YOU THAT (haha) the title is called "The Blade". In English that means the only one. Delivered by our boi Kurosaki Ichigo. To Yhwach. This is the end. The only thing that will end the tyranny of whoever just came in and claimed the three Worlds. Erm... Because as you will see for yourself, this is not the case. *laughs* For starters, EVERYONE IS INVOLVED. *laughs* From Shino-san who barely got in to this for some reason, to Dondochakka and Pesche cheering on Harribel to then sending Nel to the gaping hole in the ceiling (lol), to what else, Kyoraku riding on Soifon's Bankai like a slow burning missile? *ugh* Haha, I would bring up a worse sh*tshow but I gotta poop in a minute so let me finish this first. *laughs* Also, why is LITERALLY EVERYONE in the way of Ishida who is trying to get his shot?? *laughs* Oh, I guess it doesn't matter. *giggles* It doesn't matter because despite everyone's efforts which is just a bunch of mush now just like Yhwach too if I were to be honest lol, in a world where everyone is consumed almost, looks like only the only Quincy boi Ishida will be able to deliver the crucial blow to our new Soul King. And to save you the trouble, I shall summarize WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED even though I do appreciate at the right parts they made it matter, even the slow motion of Ichigo ridding of Yhwach and the latter realizing he screwed up because he didn't believe in what Haschwalth saw when he was asleep, by the way. That was his downfall, what a joke. *laughs* Okay, summary. Main story goes, we skip to Ichigo and Ishida on the ground beaten up(?), and Ishida brings up the special arrowhead (Edit: He didn't even have to) that can stop any Quincy even for just a while as it triggers their defence line Blut which in this case, leaves Yhwach wide open for any attack because he can't attack but that's not the point, and Ichigo supposedly tries and tries again all while being ruined by his soul dad (lol) until Ishida managed to move himself using Rasontengai (that was kinda cool just not the travelling ugh) to take the shot. That shot within like seconds, is the only time Ichigo gets to strike Yhwach one last time. No running start. No avoiding whatever tentacle minions (lol), no external help from the Hollows... even though I guess the illusion part where Ichigo literally has another blade might be due to Aizen or Tsukishima or Zangetsu or all of them, I don't know. *wink* So yeah, everything else don't matter, Hitsugaya saying "it's our responsibility" also doesn't matter, you aren't Ichigo enough. *laughs* Ginjo fighting with the shinigami also doesn't matter, we know he fought to protect Orihime otherwise Ichigo will end him for not protecting his future her. *giggles* All in all... *sigh* LMAO just let me do this I have had a rough week at work. *laughs* But apart from that though, as you can see there is WAY TOO MANY FILLERS ON THIS EPISODE (lol) to even justify a cool from the actual canon content which I actually can remember because I'm reminded of it like, half the time. *giggles* Which also reminded me of how this Anime series started, as a filler-run mess. Hey, supervisor Kubo Tite, didn't know you love Studio Pierrot so much you're still doing the same thing they did. *laughs* To make myself happier and I don't mean the final episode because that was one chapter of the source material so you can tell me how much original content there will be in it *pukes* I might as well slap the season review right here lol, because the best is undoubtedly still Urahara's Bankai, hands down. Okay maybe Aizen with the Kido is still cool, remember Yumichika used the exact same Kido and it didn't look this cool? *laughs* WHAT A MESS THIS HAS BEEN DUDE haha but I am glad to have seen it to the end. Happy? I most certainly am not- Am I just old or are they too many flashing lights and/or abrupt action movements, it made "Attack on Titan" and their final fight look so much better?? *ugh*

[TL:DR; My problem isn't really them fighting and then getting defeated time and time again, that's how this series works. *giggles* My problem was with them just talking c*ck while doing it. And it's not just *cringe* by the way. It's ABSOLUTELY F**KING CRINGE *ugh*]

P.S. "Whatever happens isn't going to surprise me." Me waiting for filler content to appear in this episode lol "Do you feel it? That pain is life. And it is also death." Well not yet brother, I'm still enjoying the life, I mean, pain. *laughs* (Please, everyone is secretly masochist, we know)

P.P.S. "Ginjo, do you realize that, you're fighting for the shinigami?" No way, he's fighting to protect Orihime. *dabs* "When Ichigo comes back, it won't mean anything if these (shinigami) aren't here." Yeah true, Ginjo is ALSO fighting for his boi Ichigo. We aren't going to let everyone who fought him take credit. *laughs*

[To be fair to Kubo-sensei sorry for dunking on you this whole time... What would I have added here? The timer to full darkness is fine I guess, and the stories between like Harribel and Grimmjow is okay, but the like, converging to Yhwach is a no-go, especially from like, Shino-san who should be grounded like, yesterday. *laughs* And all the captains should be protecting the others similar to Rukia with Inoue, and not anything closer. Bridging that distance to Yhwach is really, REALLY terrible story design imo]

Oh, so Harij isn't doing the love potion thing for personal reasons, and he has a deadline to hit. Uh oh. *giggles* In this new episode where someone tell Rose to not f**k with Harij and come up with a better excuse to visit her AFTER the potion is done lol (#HoreMajo03) because erm, the love potion is not for him, Rose. *silence* Okay that might still sound wrong. *laughs* No no as in, uh, how do I explain this... *giggles* That is for another time, I guess!! Foreshadowing is such a terrible literary device I can't even. *laughs* Anyways, I think we have safely reached the stage where Harij is just comfortable with hanging out with Rose, even though for the latter it might still be too much even with the hood off, but hey, we still have time to enjoy this. *giggles* The bread, of course. *dabs* Because for her and maybe out sake too this is WAY TOO BLISS (haha) even if it's just eating bread in the middle of the day with whatever spread Harij can offer up and THANK GOODNESS it isn't Rose with just a robe on the floor again with legs spread open. *laughs* I know, I'm sorry, this is supposed to be a pure series and they baited me with a filthy slender woman with jut skin. (lol) Oh by the way, Harij is just doing this every day now mainly because (1) he is taking time off since he might have done too much overtime guard duty even in peacetime operations for the castle *giggles* but I guess also (2) he then rather take extended lunch breaks to (3) also spend money from his own coffers to feed a Witch who has to make a love potion for the princess, it looks like? Does he get allowance to do that? No? It's from his own pocket? *giggles* So yeah take note Rose, this guys is LITERALLY investing in you right now, not even your grandmother did enough to make you realize you should just cook and live a normal human live instead of making GLP-1 vaccines that can curb your hunger. *laughs* Because "eating is joy" people I don't think I need a Chinese proverb to confirm that, but maybe Harij you would want to bring her some other seeds so she doesn't have to eat salad and breadcrumbs all day. *giggles* The episode ended in a rather mellow tone which is interesting, so I guess I should *sob* talk about it. Also, are we not more blessed than ever to get Mikakoshi singing again?? *giggles* Also spoiler alert from the mother- We are SO not going to hear the voice of Rose's grandma, just so you know, even without Rose saying her gramps can't sing. Interestingly though, we get to hear the mom's. Hey Kayanon, how are you doing? *giggles* Because yeah, Harij has also been helping this lone Witch think of all the stuff she has been and not been doing all this while, from tending the garden just so she can think of cooking for herself which *wink* yeah no sh*t dude why aren't you, to making the perfect cup of tea. For ya boi. *giggles* Hey, it's a family recipe, if you want to taste this every time, marry a Witch- Marry a woman who can't lie to you, Harij. *dabs* All in all... EAT AND GET FAT, PEOPLE!!! *laughs* Okay, I definitely meant this for Rose, there's no other reason behind this. You guys should be eating lesser actually, you modern society human chomping on fast food. *giggles* Also, can we just have 9 more episodes of this bliss, please and thank you? *blessed* I know the sh*tstorm will happen eventually, but heck, just let me bask on this a little longer, naked in the island in the middle of the forest, and don't let anyone pass by, please. *giggles* But yeah, though the dialogues are long, the pace is slow, the romance is subtle, but heck, this is the underrated stuff you don't miss but I do, so I'll take it as it is. Also Mikakoshi. What else do you really need? *giggles* More tea leaves? I'll bring something over too next time, my love for you or something. *dabs*

[23 vs 11 vs 3 and the last one is for the princess. *laughs* So more ROSE SPECIAL!!]

P.S. "Has (Harij) been going out of his way to come see me during his breaks? To bring me treats?" Yeah bro is just bored, there is no social media back then, you know. *giggles* THANK F**KING CHRIST- *laughs*

P.P.S. "So there was someone right next to you who sang it over and over again... Someone who isn't your grandmother. And certainly not your father that you do not even know. Then the only one who remains is..." IT IS TIEN-SAN!!! *laughs*

That's true Saikawa, all you need are dad and mom... Until they aren't here. *sob* In this new episode where idolism is based and sci-fi mystery is cringe LMAO (#TanMoshiS203) WELCOME BACK TO ANOTHER IDOL EPISODE- I don't know why they keep doing this, is this canon? *giggles* I'm pretty sure this series has signed a contract with VTuber agency Hololive already because swordswoman VTuber (I almost forgot her name lmao) Kazama Iroha is revealed last week to be in this episode!!! *shrugs* Haha I know her, please, I'm just joshing you guys. Anyways, let's talk about why Kimizuka has the privilege not only to live with 3 other women under the same roof- Wait, is it 4 if we count Noches? *giggles* But also, Kimizuka will have the honour of being Saikawa Yui's personal manager and take photos of her to post on Instagram- Wait, wrong idol. *laughs* Because just to let you know, if she is the top idol of the world she lives in? She don't need no social media posts to boost her popularity. Fans will even forgive her even if her parents screwed with her long after they are dead- Wait, they are dead? *laughs* I know, so wait, they faked the books while they were alive and she was an idol so to...? Alright, no more details, we already shouted our grievances off the hill where they were buried already. *shrugs* Even so, it feels rather shallow just to have this mainly because THERE ARE NO NEW SONGS THOUGH??? WHAT THE F**K, DUDE?? *laughs* Yeah, remember the 2 songs that were revealed in season 1 which also was in the music album they released? I'm going to be happy if they even have something out on music streaming services for this season. *cringe* Coming back though, of course the idol part is just part of Saikawa just trying to join in on the harem for some reason lol, but most likely and more importantly, she knows someone is after her. And I don't mean like, Noches knows so she is wary of people from SPES coming for her, no. But considering Bat who if you remember from him way back when, has suddenly teamed up with a vampire who is also a Tuner like Siesta... This rebellion of SPES is coming up quite weird, to be honest. Not like I know anything though, I barely even know Siesta in person. And Kimizuka here has seen her naked. *laughs* All in all... I am reminded how terrible their jokes are. *laughs* But I'm still laughing and reacting on social, so I guess it still works even after all these years. *giggles* Oh yeah, the lore. *laughs* I'm not exactly surprised that Yui has to be involved in all of this, but my guess was that she was part of the 12 Tuners but interestingly she isn't. Then again, Seed planting their seed on her is WAY worse, so this is going great so far, I guess. *laughs* It's weird, it's funny, it's action-packed... eventually, just like how I remembered it even all those years ago. That's good news I guess, which means I can expect to be even more confused at the end of this, even though I'm not going to be bitten by a vampire for the next 3 months. *laughs* What other jokes can I make... Oh yeah, shout out to Iroha-chan too I guess, I hope she is not paid next to nothing to appear on this. *cringe* Also, this is not a porno- I mean, harem. *laughs*

P.S. "Why does it always turn out to be Saikawa who we can count on in the end?" Because that's the joke? *laughs* "I've been through a lot in my life, you know." OOF

P.P.S. "It was loud enough for a broadcast tower to pick up." Kimizuka I don't think that's how radio waves work... *laughs* "Maybe my fans heard it." That one might be true, Saikawa. *cringe*

Okay, just Otori's nipples, the ones from the girls are fine. Also, this isn't the Anime's suggestion box? Dammit. *laughs* In this new episode where my hands are together because I am being handcuffed as I write this lol (#Seichokai04) because looks like our Student Council is troubled by others once again, so let's talk about what happened! Firstly, the lack of feedback from the suggestion box for the student council. *silence* I don't want to say it's something Koma-chan can handle but it is lol, but heck, not like they are well known to be open besides their bodies which says a lot about this- This is a mixed gender school, right? Or did they turn mixed last year? *laughs* (Good joke about "Seitokai Yakuindomo" me, good joke) But then again, not like anyone did anything to give proper feedback besides the one baseball club which bro we can't make the baseball field bigger you guys are surrounded by school buildings and can you not fire a baseball into the room, please? *giggles* Unrelated, thanks for the promotion, at least we can keep Koma-chan busy for now. *laughs* Speaking of busy, they were so busy they didn't have lunch, so it's so nice of Kotobuki to treat everyone... until I realized she was not eating healthy or else how did she grow those melons- But also, did she just dunk on Koma-chan for not eating more? She barely can scramble up meals at her age and how dare you- How is she not on financial assistance yet? *giggles* Is it you have gamblers as parents? Or do you need actually more food? You gotta say, otherwise maybe you can put that inside the suggestion box for the student council to- Oh yeah, that's for Student Affairs. *laughs* Next, we have the Light Music Club. I'll slap my joke on social which is, and I quote: "It DEFINITELY does not feature cute girls drinking tea, considering the Tea Ceremony Club next door just busted them for making too much noise." *laughs* So yeah, no Akiyama Mio, guys. But we do have cool senpai (voiced by Kobayashi Yuu, by the way, and nor horny-) (Edit: I take my words back lol) who just rizzed in front of Ume-kun and probably got him that huge of a boner he should just hide under the futon and- Wait, what? *laughs* Not sure if it's for Kouki-senpai here or the other two who are covering for her are using it, but hey, you do you, girls. Remember to clean up afterwards. *laughs* And then, we have the typical, I say, TYPICAL locked-in-a-sports-storage-room scenario. Mainly because they feature a door with an auto-lock feature when it detects a boy and girl inside (lol) NOT powered by Otori's CCTV cameras haha what, OR feature a window that Koma-chan can't crawl through it. Not because it's too small but mainly because she can't reach it even if standing on top of Ume-kun and she can barely stand because she's leaking. *silence* My mouth's open? *laughs* (EWWWWW THAT IS DISGUSTING- I meant if it's Tomita Miyu *dabs*) All in all... Did they literally just create a new ending theme animation so they can upload to YouTube and/or air on national TV? *laughs* Well, RIP previous animation efforts, censored nudes were so based I can't even. *giggles* Of course not including Otori because that is disgusting now that I think about it- So I know that the ending theme just showed us EVERYTHING we will likely NOT get to see in due time so RIP to all the good times which still involved Otori including the beach *salutes* but hey at least we get to see hot springs next week!! Maybe through all that fog I can just show a little more. I mean screenshots, I can't show censored nudes and we know that. *laughs*

P.S. "Don't know what love is?" It's DEFINITELY not you, Otori. "First, just look at me! That feeling you just had? That's love!" YUP HAHA *pukes*

P.P.S. "Don't let those teenage hormones get the better of you and do anything you'll regret. You're all at that age, after all." NO NOT AT ALL SENSEI NONE OF THEM ARE WORTH BANGING- (Okay no just for Otori-) "If you're gonna do it, just don't get caught~" Okay! *dabs*

[You know how I uploaded the censored nudes on Bluesky and then slapped a label on them? I DO NOT HAVE TO DO IT HERE!!! So you're welcome for the donuts. *laughs*]

At this point for Yumeka? She rather pretend to love basketball than deal with a cringe-worthy dad. *laughs* In this new episode where people think basketball is a pastime than a career lol OOF (#AoNoHako29) because WOW that was a great flashback until we had to hit reality again. *cringe* Turns out, the love for Chinatsu is not as powerful as... a divorce. *silence* Or so we think. *wink* So yeah, this week, we went through all that Yumeka has enjoyed... and suffered, so find out how right Taiki is in giving the one ticket to Chinatsu's basketball match which happened during Christmas Eve, by the way. *giggles* So, let's start from the top. Last week we were told that Yumeka was just not going to ruin Chinatsu's impression of basketball, even though ironically, she is THE REASON Chinatsu is still into this. I know there's also Taiki hehe but let's take that as 50/50 haha I'm sure it'll be lesser for Yumeka's side soon enough *giggles* but for now, FOR NOW, let's just say we all know Chinatsu is still remembering the days she was with Yumeka. Playing basketball early in the morning. Being in the same team whether if it's real life or in basketball. And then everything fell apart. Firstly, her talent. I say this VERY HARSHLY for anyone who doesn't know what the f**k that is, it's not a thing. Talent is bullsh*t. Everything is effort. And everything has a limit. Your brain told you so, not your body. But of course DNA blah blah I'm not going to talk about science here, but suffice it to say for whatever reason, Yumeka isn't keeping up. I know, I get it, for a sport with such high expectations, that can suddenly feel depressing, but above all, she didn't bother to talk it out with Chinatsu. Also to be fair, I guess it won't matter to either of them mainly because did you even see Chinatsu just talk to a teammate and they told her to buzz off? BRUH. *ugh* And that brings us to the second point, on where Yumeka's dream of basketball is to reality. She already knew the parents were quarrelling from time to time, and from what she can hear, it's THE DAD who divorced HER MOM?? THE DAD WHO TAUGHT HER BASKETBALL?? Okay, the reason to hate basketball hits different now. *cringe* (Unrelated, shout out to Furukawa voicing the dad you may remember him from "Kaguya-sama" as Shirogane, and our dear veteran Nabatame Hitomi as the mom) So yeah, NO WONDER she wants to run away from all this. Basketball and real life and everything. And sadly, I would say she should have a place or person to cry to now as she hardly has ever which isn't too surprising not like I would, but I think it made waaaaaaaay more sense when Sousuke, her current boyfriend, is based enough to remind her for who she is, and why she has been stuck in a decision loop all along. *sob* Because the answer is simple, all the bad things just got stuck onto the good times like a magnet. Take them all away, and you will remember the good times. *smiles* It sounds like deception, sure, and who the f**k will date you brother when she starts crying over the results of the match afterwards (LMAO) but one thing I'm sure: There is too much baggage on what she has been enjoying all along, and it's not fun no more. That, I think deserves a little more care at this stage, honestly. *shrugs* All in all... Think of talent as a trough, not as a peak. *giggles* I did just make that up but I'll make it make sense lol this is what happens when you're not a literary person. *laughs* Erm... You can't dive deeper as we will hit our limit, but you can climb that mountain as many times as you want. It's all in the mind. But BECAUSE PRECISELY it's all in the mind, there is NO DAMN WAY a human could do it. Not even the best of its kind. If you wonder, the best had some help. Emotional help. Not like, taking drugs. *laughs* Unrelated, I'm not going to continue talking about Yumeka, her dream is already over. *laughs* But hey, Chinatsu's isn't, and she will make the best of it for the final year of her life in high school, and THERE IS NO WAY she will let it go until the very end. We shall see if that happens next week. I cannot wait for her to be trashed in the match in front of Yumeka LMAO ah hey, not everything goes your way, okay? You just have to know that. *silence* We love good endings here, but be sure to also remind yourself not everything is this nice. *dabs* Also, love is good enough. *giggles*

P.S. "Are you copying me?" Dude, Taiki. If Chinatsu is copying what you did to care for her I SURE HOPE SHE COPIED YOUR LOVE FOR HER!!! *laughs* (No? Too soon?)

P.P.S. "In life, negative things start sticking to the fun stuff. If you strip off each of them one by one..." I'm sure you will realize life is meaningless and you should just drown in depression. *laughs* (Please don't, call the suicide hotline right now if you do)

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

Oh yeah, MONO NO AWARE won this week, hands down. *giggles*

And as I am still deciding on giving songs from aiko-san, even though I did not give the title song(s) from MONO NO AWARE's new album, they probably still won me this week just reminding me of their titular style- And I guess they are more forgiving by me in terms of their melodies. *ugh* Haha but I did give the "Ao no Hako" opening theme song though, that's good. I'll probably proceed to give the ending theme song next week if all goes well. That's... the only thing that went well this week, music reviews. *laughs*

And then rejection panel this week (lol) we have- Maybe we just talk about that in the music news. *shrugs*

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

Ah, to watch Mocho this young, she has never changed, dude. *giggles*

Oh, and I also decided to change the release dates to like, more human-like phrases like "weeks" so that you don't have to mark it on your calendars. *silence* Or if you want to, it's an assumption that music releases are on Wednesdays in Japan, just a quick note. *laughs* Otherwise, A LOT of these videos are just a nostalgia trip even if it's earlier in the year or WAAAAAYYYYYY bback in 2012 but hey, the new songs are not hitting so what can I do? w.o.d. is pretty okay though, may just give that next month.

Unrelated, why must "TanMoshi" theme songs be so emotional and epic even though the story is trash- *laughs* (No really I've never seen an Anime put in THIS MUCH EFFORT and it's not even written by mainstream artists) (lol)

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

I'll deal with Koume-san and Elsewhere Kikou also those are the Anime theme songs left I think but I'm sure I forgot some of them so there will be more of these. One week at a time, guys. I can only handle that much music at my age. *giggles* Otherwise? Not much man, no one's writing songs for Halloween. *laughs*

God, this butt pillow on my chair is getting flatter, I might have to switch out Terui for Kotobuki- *laughs* If I wanted violence, I would've taken it to the streets- Let's not trigger more Europeans in this blog, me. *cringe* I will still strive on towards whatever the f**k is this year in real life for me and spoiler alert it isn't that fantastic, but DAMN if we're just looking at this blog, this might be the best year ever. *dabs* Okay I'm tired for some reason lol waiting for lunch was a thing I had it at 3pm for some reason STOP ASKING IF IT IS A FOOD DELIVERY SERVICE ORDER (lol) so see you guys next time then, we are sadly ending the month without much going on... So let's put our hopes on next month!! If you aren't, I am. *giggles* Until then!
