Finally feeling better after the pain I caused to myself since before the weekend. It is cold and raining like crazy outside after it snowed like 3 in. yesterday so it was the perfect time to catch up on all my missing anime from the last few days.π
Now since i had to catch up on three days worth I won't try and catch up on my posts by putting up double the amount so later on this week I'm just going to mention this weeks and last weeks ep to make it easier.π§
So the last 2 ep we have fully met the person that took over the Magical Scepter and honestly i don't like her at all. Like I do understand Togashi and how they should try and work together but man it would be like pulling teeth for me personally.π Now to a more important part, the emergency gem stone. Why would you make it happen with just your name? That moment was just so perfect!π
Okay so this is weeks ep was kinds of cute. I was worried that the Prince was pullin' shenanigans but it turned out to be something completely different and also W for the Queen for the map! Take that Prince Pain in the Ass.π
I am loving this Pirate High Seas Arc for sure! Like i thought it was over after we sort of beat the Lycagon but nah gettin' right back into it and man the fish people, the mermaids, the kraken! Give me more!π
Okay last episode was too light hearted so i knew something was gonna happen and for sure it did, but I was so on the fence cause the idea of both apparitions being alive just made he tear up so much. I want it to be so true, but I know it isn't possible. π£
My body pain managed to subside by noon and I was able to get some stuff done including part of my room. It's a work in progress but when I am done I should be able to display my figures once again and i'll put pics up! Meanwhile lets get to anime!π
Okay so I know that the point of collecting the Tears of Joy is a trial of sorts but you can't tell me that there were no people during that parade display that weren't shedding any tears either? Is it only the tears of people that Meg directly affects? I just don't get it.πΆ
Both Ruriko and Yamada not being able to handle Murata being in the vicinity with another women even though it was a new co worker was hilarious and Yamada being concerned about legs had me laugh out loud.π
Bonus if you saw the anime this gif is from and if not ask me about it!π
No, no, no, no, no and uh...NO! No you book burning pieces of shit cannot have Philia back! You don't deserve her after she is starting to get mentally better and realize that her life was not normal as a saint! NO YOU MAY NOT!π€¬
I can't with this show! Now we learned how to increase the power of a simple small kitchen appliance that can do multiple things? Oh and apparently a multiple microwave powered wireless phone charger that you have to shoot at someone...don't do this one. Meanwhile the biggest joke of the show was MΕ«MΕ« exploding one of the mixers cause...he's an idiot and getting hot melted plastic in his face and everyone thought it was cute as he rolled around in pain...okay I laughed my ass off too cause why MΕ«MΕ« why?π
Why are grandpas so cool in animes? Like the moment i knew the dude was Tessia's grandpa I was like let the training arc begin!π
So she lost her ability to brain dive and now Harold is with another cyber detective. Why are they trying to push the romance. I'm more interested in the mystery. A bit disappointed for this ep.π
I'm actually thinking of grouping Thurs. and Fri. together since there are like three which makes sense to me. Anyway that's it for me. Two back to back work days. Wish me luck but hey i'm not working with that shit manager that likes to destroy me with a smile at least. π€
So one of my amazing readers gave me the best compliment on It;s Been Ten Fucking Years today. Not just this chapter, but as a whole.
βHonestly, I love the way you're telling the story. The time jumps and the progression are well done. I've seen people do that and not handle it well. It gets muddled or you feel like you're missing things. But not with you. It's good!Β
Obviously them as kids is super sweet. Establishing the kindness and caring and connection there was a good move. It's one thing to TELL readers they've known one another forever, but an entirely different thing to SHOW them. Deepens a reader's bond to the characters immediately by making them feel more a part of their past. The church scene was great because there was immediate acceptance and love and no questions asked. And actually that carries over to the other chapters. They're just Frankie and Gee and they accept everything about the other, even if it's the other being with someone else because that's what makes them happy *in that moment*, but of course, the whole time, it's still obvious that it isn't just Lust they feel towards one another. These boys are soulmates, and they're working it out in their own very unique way.
You could very easily have gone with jealousy and clichΓ© but you've avoided it and it's wonderful.
The way they turn to one another for everything important and take care of one another is awesome, and could have felt angsty...maybe that's not the right word, but it's the closest I can come while being as dehydrated and tired as I am, haha. It could have felt too tense. Like the subtext was being shouted at the reader instead of being allowed to just simmer and mature on it's own. We KNOW they're in love, and you're letting it grow naturally.
You've managed to write them being with other people in a way that doesn't just infuriate me, and that's tricky. Because sometimes you WANT something like that to piss off your audience, but in this case, I think again, it's something that deepens the reader's understanding of who these people are, and that they always come back to one another, always. And the total acceptance of one another is a theme that still carries through. And honestly, the last chapter brings that bit along with it while still being FUN, and of course, the bit with the piping bag is probably even better because, well, I was "there" for the inspiration and that amuses me to no end. β
I was crying at the end of it all.
so each season I go through all the songs for all the animes that I watch during the season both OP and ED and see which ones will end up on my driving playlist. Some seasons I have the OP/ED all together cause I don't have enough for the Top Five and other seasons I need two separate lists.
One last thing, along with the anime cut song, I also like to spotlight the original artist/music video. I have discovered so much new music thanks to doing this and this season not only did I discover a new band, but I am going to see them in concert in march with my daughter and friend. I'll mention it when I get to that song, but now let's just get to the list(s)!π
So some anime OP/EDs don't have full versions sadly but I like it so much that it still makes the playlist so I have to give it it's own moment in the spotlight.
No name is given for the name of this one, but I never skip this ED cause it just has such a fun feel good vibe and I can't wait to drive to it!π
I honestly thought this was a J-Pop group but I;m kind of glad it is just this one amazing singer and his voice is so amazing! No official vid, but this live version is pretty sweet for sure!π€©
No this anime is not for everyone for sure I know, but they are missing out on a hilarious series and a banger hit! π
I have been a huge fan of Masayoshi-san since OxT who performed a lot of songs doe Daiya no Ace and when I saw him live and was shocked how much he looked like my number one seiyuu Sakurai-san that just made it even better! A lot of his songs are on my playlist from several season and no I have never watched Overlord but I love Clattanoia, I just discovered it on my own!π
I always have at least one slow song in a season and this year, Shiawase no Recipe took the silver for this year. Besides the fact that the vibe really matches Maomao and Jinshi's whole relationship it just hits right no matter when I watch an episode .π
So since we can only put ten vids in one post I'll continue my Number one as well my conclusion in the next post. Catch you guys there!π
Man, catching up on posts is hard but i did it! I honestly don't know who is actually reading these or waiting for them, but I like to think they are helpful for some one to discover an anime to check out.π
We got an actual full Kizuna Five episode like with the opening and everything! It made me so nostalgic for my OG Power Rangers! Also the fact that Bond Killer didn't give up until the 13th time was priceless!π
This felt like a filler ep for some reason that I could put my finger on. Not like there is some deep plot or arc to this series but yeah...π€
Even during a real life meeting Sunraku still didn't show his face!π€£
This episode was emotionally painful but I think that both Nene and Kou are on the same page and ready to go back to the real world and do what's best for Hanako and Mitsuba-kun but I will be sad to see them go back to being passed on.π£
Wow what a surprise Amonogawa failed the test.π
Okay I'll say it. Uchimara was so cool this episode! He walked in to the throne room of the king of Rammpage like a boss and not only busted pig man's whole plot to undermine the Demon Kingdom but then he saved his life cause he saw the value in his other business tactics and need to care for his family. Like damn!π
Mio needs a damn break from all these people trying to control or hurt her! I'm glad that she stood up to Usui but I know that she was super scared about it and she almost lost her first real friend over the whole thing!π
If you follow me you will know why I am two days late on this post. I won't go into it fully, but it was serious enough to shut me down from anything. Okay, onto the good stuff now!π
I really like seeing the MC realize that need to do more in order to grow as a person and an adventurer especially when they see those around them doing what they need to succeed. This was a really good ep.π§
Everyone was going on about the Deer Head Dude or the crazy scientist and all I was looking for was the dude in the inviso suit cause he was the one that stood out in this arc.π
That was the most intense game of Old Maid I ever watched outside of a gambling anime for the dumbest stakes. π€£
Remember last week I said I hate Thunder Pike...π€¬
I love that not all the people/demons in these dungeons/gates are assholes and straight up killers. This girl was refreshing in Jinwoo's world and I was here for it! Now let's go get some S-Rank Raid and handle these ants.π
This moment made me so happy!π₯°
From Lazarus, the latest anime by the director of Cowboy Bebop.
I just discovered this band too and man i am super excited to see them in concert in March!π
Guys guys guys music rec hanabie uh I don't listen to a lot of music in languages I don't know but they're music is so good I'm like obsessed its a Japanese metal band and it's so good and hard and fast but also like sparkly if you know what I mean uh
This was just super creative! ^-^
Part I here β¬οΈ
Okay so before I get to my number one, I want to touch on the anime that I mentioned earlier. So if you know my Daily Anime(s) posts you know that I watch studio Go Hands masterpiece from this season Momentary Lily and one of the best things that I got from it was the band that performs the OP Hanabie. Everything this band touched is gold if you enjoy hardcore metal and screamo. The fact that they are a band unlike Baby Metal where they just sing and don't play instruments, I do love Baby Metal too, is just an even better reason to get into them.π€
Oishi Survivor is the OP for Momentary Lily and it is a non stop ride along with the scenes playing during it. I am a fan of another band called Ice Nine Kills or IX and the vibe these girl's really give off really reminds me of them. I wish there was an official vid of this instead of a lyric one so instead i'm gonna put another song of their's that I love so please enjoy oh and yes this is the band we are going to see in March along with Kim Dracula!π€
Alright and now my Number One choice from the Winter 2025 Anime Season...
Not since the Song of the Dead by Kana-Boom from Zom 100 have a had so much fun listening to an OP like Casanova Posse. I do also enjoy the ED Rolling Stone by Breimen but not enough to make my Top Five. Probably my Top Ten though.π€
I discovered Ali when JJK S1 came out and the amazing ED Lost in Paradise...that cost me my IG, fuck you Sony, came out and took over the world. That was kind of when I started checking out the official vids and the artist's other music. It has not steered me wrong at all and I encourage you all to do the same. if you like the song, hit YT and see what else they have done outside of anime and of course check out live shows. I promise you that you won't be disappointed.π₯°
