(episode comment) shirohiyo: reincarnated as a neglected noble episode 6

Honestly, this anime's wholesomeness most of time is what makes me wait for this every week. Maybe that means I should continue reading the web novel version. Anyway, love the interaction between the siblings. Ageha finally found a swordsmanship teacher for Regulus (that was on the last episode) and he learned more about the people in his family. In particular, his grandparents and the possible reason for the lack of their portrait in the mansion. Of course, that would be weird. I just found it nice that Ageha could converse really well with Utsunomiya this time around. Well, she did made her oath for the two kids already, so I guess that's that.

Now about two-thirds of the anime was about Ageha and Mr. Romanov heading to the town in Kikunoi where the Adventurer's Guild was located. For the first time, he actually saw the state of the town. The purpose was to sell the handkerchiefs he made per Mr. Romanov's request before. Only for him to learn that he gained a new skill and another blessing — this time, from Igor who was the God of Technology. The one that the princess mentioned before. At least, he was able to discuss things with the guild master about what he was planning for the Kikunoi estate going forward — little by little. There was little on what he could do as a five-year-old, after all. But his ideas coming from his past life was really helping him, this time. There was only a matter of actually achieving them.

Looks like the next episode will be another wholesome moment as it involves cooking. Talk about suggesting tonkatsu as one of the staple foods unique to the estate. Well, let's see what happens when he actually managed to do it.

(episode comment) the brilliant healer's new life in the shadows episode 6

The last part of the light novel's first volume, and was the most intense fight I've seen Zenos dealt with, by far. Even with the help of the three faction leaders, this was too much as the Golem could regenerate, according to Carmilla. But it seems that he had it under control even when he just did a high heal and helped the demihumans even more while rescuing them. To be honest, I actually pictured the Guide (or in the LN, they called him the Contractor) to be someone middle aged or even older. But here, he was young, even though half of his face was covered. Maybe that's just me imagining it that way.

In any case, the damage in the slums was extensive this time. Good thing no one died. Not even Aston who started all this mess just to get back at Zenos. Well, he must have really regretted it this time. What he did towards other people came back to him. And he lost in the end. After that, it looked like the Guide would still be making an appearance later on. Though I wouldn't know when since I haven't read the second volume of the LN just yet.

It looks like a new arc will begin in the next episode onwards. Now let's see what will start there.

(episode comment) the brilliant healer's new life in the shadows episode 5

Wow... That was some ending. A golem suddenly showed up just right after Camilla and Zenos were talking about it.

But before that, it's really funny seeing how Aston and the rest of the Golden Phoenix failed mission after mission. And only now that they fully realized what an asset Zenos really was in their party. Then again, regret comes in the end. In his case, there was no such thing as regret. His ego was still at works here. And he wanted to bring back Zenos to the party again "out of his goodwill"... Not!

Gosh! This only reminded me of that other anime I was watching before but sort of stopped for some reason (title: I Left My A-Rank Party). Almost the same scenario when they were practically begging for the person they kicked out of the team to return to them. The difference here is that the slum faction leaders and even Krishna intervened on that and even threatened Aston if he continued harassing Zenos. Even he couldn't believe that. He actually thought that Zenos would struggle to live. Well, he was dead wrong on that one. Not to mention, Zenos was actually charging them for every treatment that he would do for the party. 😂😂 Nothing is free for him now.

Now let's see what happens now that something even weirder had appeared in the slums, causing havoc.

(episode comment) the brilliant healer's new life in the shadows episode 4

Yup. Another "way too late" moment when it comes to commenting on this anime. Sorry. I ended up focusing on something else. But here we are again. Back in the game. Of course, that's not supposed to be what I'm saying here.

This is one example of looking into different sides of a story. It seems that the Iron Rose wasn't able to do that in so many aspects stemming from her past. And that's why she would easily jump into conclusions. For someone who believes she only has one fault, Krishna surely showcased a lot of those faults that one wouldn't even believe that she's the vice-commander of the royal knights. But she has a sense of justice at was a little bit skewed because she firmly believed that the people in the slums were all bad and evil.

It was only when Zenos did something to help Krishna as she tried to discover the truth about the trafficked children that she realized the other side of the story that she should be looking at all this time. Well, no one can blame her for thinking that way since her mother's death was related to the slums. Her heart hardened because of that. Obviously, things will change once again for Zenos since it looks like Krishna will be another of his frequent visitors in his clinic because of what happened. She did owe him unpaid bills for healing her, after all. 😂😂

(episode comment) the too-perfect saint episode 7

So this episode basically tackled on two things — Mia's attempt to convince the other prince to fight Prince Julius and finding another way to protect Girtonia and save it. Well, the first issue took a while to happen since Prince Fernand was just a stubborn bull (that's only my opinion) who even refused to stand up and fight his own brother, even when the throne wasn't even on the line. Julius was just a plain self-centered idiot who doesn't care about the kingdom's fate at all. If the monsters overrun the kingdom, then he wouldn't have anything to rule at all. Of course, he doesn't even realize that. Mia was making Fernand understand all that so she could have more ways to oust that jerk prince from his position and have someone proper rule Girtonia. It looked it she succeeded in the end.

As for the second issue, it was about the idea that Philia thought to save not just Girtonia, but also the entire continent. Thankfully, her student Grace could provide assistance for that to happen. And it would also require the help of Grace's sisters who were also saints. They just need to make sure that Grace learned everything completely since she would have to relay what she learned to her sisters back home. It looked like it was working.

This episode seemed to be calm enough even with all that was happening in the background. But it seems that the next one is just a storm that is about to come and strike. Then again, I could be wrong on that. Who knows?

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 12

That was one dramatic episode, in my opinion. Then again, when Gaia yelled out Runa's name in the last episode, I had a feeling that it would turn out that way. And I was right.

But this No-One experiment turned out to be something different as this was completed by absorbing someone who died. So it became unstable, according to Bouquet. And Tega June apparently had taken a liking to it. I didn't think of it before that the No-One chooses their victim to combine/bond to because of the wishes that match their own. And they chose living victims. What happened to Runa was something entirely different. And maybe that concept might be perfected at some point in the series if the queen of the No-Ones had even become fascinated about it. I mean, that could be possible, right?

Rikuo shined a lot in this episode, regardless of how dramatic it had been since he was the one mainly talking to Gaia out of his desire to be with Runa once again by dying with her. Of course, that won't sit well with our idol Gozyuger. His super hearing really proved helpful this time to determine Runa's true wish and make sure that Gaia would finally know it.

And then another Sentai Giant appeared here — Gao King. So... this was the second Giant to appear in the series, right? I wonder how many will fully appear in the entire series. That Wolf Decalibur 50 of Gozyu Wolf was really something else, huh? I mean, it could really cut through space and transport someone there — just as how Rikuo used it to cut through Oni No-One and allow Gaia to reach Runa inside of it. It's a good thing that Gaia has a new purpose in life now after finally coming in terms with Runa's death. 

The next episode would finally show something about Ryugi as anything about him would only be mentioned in bits in the previous episodes.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 11

Wow!  A lot had happened here, that's for sure. Yes, I'm late again. But as you can see, I'm trying my best to catch up. I just noticed, by the way. The important Ring Warriors that were featured in the series would be seen in two episodes or more. I think the PM was the one with the most screen time (I think). This one was a bit intense, in my opinion. But Todoroki Gaia's appearance only ignited something in both Hoeru and Rikuo. Okay, maybe even Sumino — but I think that was only made as a gag for this episode since he was using musical instruments to control people. I mean, did he really have to do that to both Hoeru and Sumino? Then again, it looked like Hoeru just became another reason for Rikuo to contemplate deeply on things — especially about himself both as an idol and a Gozyuger. Now... what kind of experiment did Tega June do that even Bouquet had to interfere in the fight? I guess even Fire Candle find that strange. And now, it looked like something else ignited as soon as that the one-horned beast that Gaia was really after had finally showed up. By the way, how in the world did two No-One beasts was merged like that? I thought Tag No-One would be destroyed after Hoeru defeated it, to be honest. Then it suddenly turned into that one-horned No-One that Gaia was after rather obssessively. No wonder even Bouquet had to intervene. She had to make sure that the experiment won't be halted or destroyed in some way. Now I want to know what that experiment was.

(episode comment) from old country bumpkin to master swordsman episode 6

So Beryl became Mewi's guardian in the end. And also got a house to live in, thanks to Lucy. Well, that was some development right there. Then again, his reason to come to that decision wasn't fully explained in the anime — or at least, in this episode. Maybe in the next one. I don't know. But at least it was explained in the light novel version, and it was related to what he did to Mewi's dead sister that the bishop had messed up just so he could conduct his experiment. That was some slightly dramatic turn, if you ask me. Of course, it was already mentioned before that it was already impossible to revive the dead. And yet that darn bishop just began messing things up — especially corpses that should be resting in peace and allow the people related to them to go on living their lives without them. I knew he would have to deal with a knight in an intense fight. But man... That was seriously intense that he ended up getting injured like that. He won, maybe that was the most important one at the moment. Then again, why does this feel like it would only be a calm before the storm? Maybe that's just me.

(episode comment) from country old bumpkin to master swordsman episode 5

Honestly, for someone just using wooden sword as a weapon (since he still doesn't have his proper sword just yet), Beryl is one strong guy. No wonder his former students really respects his abilities as a swordsman, even when he wasn't aware of it himself. Things got a little heated now that he encountered the girl that pickpocketed him. It even came to a point that Lucy had to step in and actually do something for Mewi's sake. Resurrection magic has always been a questionable arts, regardless of the world (and even anime) and some were actually able to defy it, one way or another. In this case, the church (or at least some of its members) just want to do something both absurd and inhumane at the same time. They even had to employ thieves for their sick plans. Now that they even eliminated Twilight just to keep things wrapped up in the meantime, it looked like Beryl would be involved in something even darker than initially assumed.

I guess Tuesday the 13th being a bad luck day, as well, is something I should really consider and not just Friday the 13th. Then again, I only realized that it's Tuesday the 13th today when I wrote the day on my journal.

My red days for this month started today, around afternoon. And because it rained, the temperature dropped. And when the temperature dropped, of course it's cold. And you know my cramps usually hits the hardest when it's raining and it's cold.

Finally finished transferring all the one-shots from that other blog to my personal blog. And now, that other blog was permanently deleted. I guess it's really for the best for me to maintain just one blog and only one. (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

Yup, as you guessed it — watched more Youtube videos. At least, I tried watching the sensible ones. This was done after the transferring of one-shots to the original blog.

I went out today as they asked me to head to the market to buy some ingredients. I really thought I brought my umbrella when I went out. But when the jeepney I was riding at was near the stop I was supposed to get off to, I soon found out that I didn't get to place my umbrella inside my bag. So what I did was wait for a long while for the rain to stop falling. It was cold, without a doubt. But I knew I had to be patient as I'm already still dealing with runny nose. I don't want to couple it with another bout of coughing or worse, even fever. I didn't think the rain would fall really hard, though. But I really don't want to risk running through the rain. Thankfully, it did stop falling at some point.
