Yup. We've got mean girls around here. Like what the heck? Hopefully, they don't fully tamper whatever confidence that Marie was slowly building in her or else... Urgh! I guess in this kind of story, especially the ones dealing with nobility, would always have this kind of people in the circle. Maybe I should read the web novel version just to be sure about what's going to happen to them. Seriously, I don't trust those two maids.

So... Sumino's sister, huh? Well, I mean, considering the length of time that the event of the disappearance happened, it shouldn't be a shock that Oto have grown. And yes, she did grow --- but had also forgotten who she was other than her name. Of course, even Sumino would be hurt by that realization. But the comatosed part that Oto mentioned... It does feel weird and then the Shinkenger ring chose her. I'm not going to point out the gyaru concept as it was really weird for me to see, even when it's also funny that I don't really mind in most points.

Yup. Kyros really made the biggest mistake right there. And now, he's gonna have to make it up to Marie who really still believe that she was just a replacement for her sister. I mean, it'll be a hard work for him ---both to prove his intentions and feelings were true and also to make Marie finally see that she wasn't a replacement.

Just finished watching Episodes 5 and 6 of "私の夫と結婚して". Yup, we're definitely in the middle already and things just got even more intense. We were rewarded with another ML POV. This time, he actually met Misa's father and got to talk to him. This was a different one from the Korean version as Ji-hyuk actually got to talk to Ji-won's father who was basically a spirit. While Wataru talked to Misa's father sometime before the father died. One thing I noticed, though. Did Misa's father die of the same condition as Misa? He did touch his stomach when the length of his life was mentioned. More chaos ensued. But the turning point that Misa wanted to happen had finally occured. She was able to pass her fate of getting married to Tomoya to Reina. Now I can't wait for another Friday to come just so I can watch the next two episodes. Weird, huh?

Yikes! What was that last part of the episode? But I guess this proves one thing. Tina can cast magic. But really, why in the world can she not do it? It was like... whenever she would try doing so, some black spark would appear, for some reason. Like something was blocking her magic. And now, her magic went berserk like that. Then again, her emotions became too uncontrollable. Mainly because of intense frustration for her inability to cast magic despite having a strong amount of mana in her.

This is one of the anime that I've been waiting to watch, even if I know I have to deal with another story involving some God-forsaken, rotten-to-the-core, favoring-one-over-the-other kind of family. Urgh! Why did they treat Marie that way, seriously? I could just punch all of them. Well, at least she's out of that family's house now that she would be engaged to the duke. Wait, was he a duke? I wasn't paying much attention. Sorry.

Agri (Goseiger)/Kasumi (Ninninger): When Will Tears Stop?
When will this river of tears stop falling? Where can I run so I won't feel alone? — Until I Get Over You, Christina Millian
xxxxxx
It really felt like Kasumi was losing it. It felt like that dreaded feeling of losing everything. Right in front of you, at that. It was scary. It was heart-wrenching.
However, it wasn't something she could stop no matter what she did. Or was it supposed to feel that way? There had to be a way, right?

So we've reached the end already. I can only just pout as I've actually wished they make it a bit longer, you know. This one was a really good anime for me. Or maybe I wasn't just the type to enjoy the anime that majority of the people likes, unless they're within the things that I like. Not sure if I made any sense here, though.

I just found this anime yesterday and only got to finish watching it today. Though I've seen the trailers before, it didn't really catch much of my interest. But I did try to find the light novel version for me to reach, just for me to have a gist of what the story was about. Haven't even made it 25% of the first volume — only because I was reading something else. 😁😁

Field day, huh? Not that I can relate since we don't have that from where I live. Or maybe there is... only that I can't fully remember. Hehe! This episode was a bit lively, in my opinion. Lively because of sports, that is. We get to see another moment of Hoeru and Rikuo teaming up again. Or maybe Rikuo was feeling something whenever Hoeru would mention about his past — especially those that he hsd experienced in the No-One World. Things he never get to experience and things he also experienced (although we've only seen a glimpse of that before).

Wow! I actually got to finish reading a book — after a long while. The only thing I did was to increase the font size of my ebook reader on my phone and also the line spacing. I also had to choose a font that would be comfortable to my eyes. I only did what I've seen in Youtube on how to read faster. But since I only have an android phone as a device that I can use, I changed the tactic a little bit. Let's just say that it was, in a way, inspired by a suggestion about using OpenDyslexic as a font. I used a different font, but it still allowed me to finish reading Volume 2 of Campfire Cooking In Another World.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 16
One thing I can say about Mashiro — too arrogant, too sure about himself, too much hate (I think) for Tega Sword, and a tad bit annoying. Yup. Probably even worse for me than Ryugi. At the moment, I don't like him. I don't care if he was strong. I don't care if he was the previous winner of the Universe Ring War. If he didn't fix his attitude towards Hoeru and the others, then I will continue disliking this guy. Of course, for now, I'm giving him the benefit of a doubt since there has to be a story as to why he wanted to surpass Tega Sword. But why did he help Hoeru remember what happened in the old world? Never mind the fact that Mashiro was condescending to Hoeru and his lack of wish. But he still helped him. Why? What was the reason?

It took me just a day to watch and rewatch the episode. I was supposed to be posting this yesterday but I ended up prioritizing something else instead. We got a new character featured here. His name was Kanade. At least, in the end, the siblings made a new friend — their first friend outside of the mansion, apparently. And basing it from what I read in the web novel version, he would be one of their trusted friend and their constant companion in their adventures. The one part I really laughed about while watching the episode was Ageha's reaction when he accidentally made the fire become bigger just while singing and thinking of a campfire song. He really went "Nani goto?!" with his eyes and mouth opened wide. Then again, he wasn't aware of the power his songs and his singing hold. At least, now he knew. Even Kanade and Regulus decided to learn magic through Victor. And then, when Ageha was in a pinch somehow, Igor appeared. Like... are you kidding me? 😂😂

Why does this episode feel like a final battle moment? Especially when she was summoned and fought Tega Sword like that, with Kuon piloting her? I don't know, but that's how it felt to me. Then again, just how many times the world was recreated whenever Tega Sword and Tega June clash? Just a question that I don't think this episode had answered to me. Or maybe I wasn't paying attention. Who knows? But yeah, what a way to end the world just for Tega June to recreate it. Not going to lie, this is perhaps one of the strangest episode of the series by far, to me. But definitely intense.

So this is just the continuation of what happened in the last episode. According to Tega Sword, the ring itself had gone berserk that made Shoko act like that. Of course, the ring themselves were considered neutral, to begin with. It will act to the will — mainly — of the contractor. At least, that's how I see it. Thank goodness that Ryugi was able to get his point across to Shoko and let her know about what he truly feels about everything. Even I wouldn't want to live as a puppet that never had a sort of freedom to do what one wants. Shoko finally saw his point after seeing him fight. Then again, this resulted to another weird bout of Ryugi showing his extreme devotion to Tega Sword. Yes, let's be honest. It was indeed beyond normal. Not exactly a fan of too much devotion, so maybe I couldn't relate myself to Ryugi when it comes to that. The next episode seems like it's going to be another weird one. As if that was something new for this series. 😊✌️

So here we are with the final episode! I actually reach here without dropping the anime. Then again, the light novel already caught my interest and was able to read it. So I guess that's not surprising that I was determined to finish watching the anime version.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 7.2
All that could be seen and heard in the Tareus Dimension surrounding the Fortress of Screams were roars of thunder and more flashes of lightning. At times, the lightning would even strike at the tower of the castle.
But given all that had happened, the source of such mystical --- and yet almost everyday --- occurrence could do nothing more than to expend their overflowing energy and vent their anger and frustration somewhere else. This time, they've been doing it on the crack that they've been trying to fully break before.
"What kind of plan was that, Orcus? For a strategist, I can't believe that even you would fail brilliantly like this," Karkino started and once again struck the crack with his own powers.
But as Nemia expected that made her smirk, Orcus didn't pay them any attention and just continued striking the crack with his own powers. It also looked like he doesn't even want to pay attention to any of his comrades' rants with regard to his failure to prevent the awakening of the third Elemental Guide.

So this one mainly focused on the people around Ageha reminding him over and over that he should also learn how to trust the adults around him. The ones that stayed with him before and after he got sick. After regaining his past life memories, Ageha did try to do most of the things he wanted to do almost by himself that he was nearly forgetting that there are people around him that were willing to help him and support him. But at least the ones he would confide to started to make him see that he couldn't and shouldn't do things all by himself, even if he has the knowledge from his previous life.

I haven't been able to focus on reading books lately and I don't want to force myself to do anything about it for now. Anyway, I may or may not write my thoughts about this episode once I watched it.

(episode comment) no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 13
What a weird way for others to get people to learn manners when all they do was demean others when it was done wrong. As per usual, Hoeru has his way of countering things in his own wild way. Kind of crazy that even with his personality and attitude, his words would still pierce people's hearts and make them realize things that they should have a long time ago. At least, that's what he was unconsciously doing towards his teammates (whether he admits it or not). But the ending... What the heck happened? What kind of evolution to the Ring Warriors is that? Berserk? Actually reminds me of the Berserker class from the Fate series. Hehe! But this looked like a two part topic, much like the other Ring Warriors with long appearance in the series.

Thank goodness! I got to celebrate a new journaling milestone. I thought I'd miss it or I'd end up forgetting it again. Then again, how am I going to forget something that happened the day after the Philippine Independence Day, huh? I know I won't. But maybe that's why it was easy for me to remember the date that I started journaling again. No matter how crazy things could get, I actually managed to reach this far in this.

Actually, I was already done watching both the 9th episode of Shirohiyo first and then the 11th episode of The Too-Perfect Saint just today. The former was just a little light, even with that sabotage done to Maria before the concert. But the cuteness of Ageha and even that of Regulus, and also add the reactions of the two elves in certain situations, were really making me smile. Even when I knew what would happen since I read the web novel version, I still find it both refreshing and amazing to see the anime version.

RECORD #7: THE WELL-KEPT TRUMP CARD
The Vessels were busy preparing breakfast that morning. To be precise, it was Misae and Akira who were in charge of that particular breakfast.
"Is the fried rice done?" Eichirou asked from the dining room where he and Erika were busy setting up the dining table with plates and other utensils.
"It's almost done. A few more minutes," Akira replied. "But you can take the tamagoyaki and the mushroom soup here. They're both finished cooking."
"I'll get it." With that, Erika headed to the kitchen. One by one, she took the plate of tamagoyaki and the large bowl of mushroom soup to bring it to the dining room.

Prince Julius is nuts. Obviously. All the bolts in his brain were seriously loose for doing all that. Not surprising that he ended up becoming the host of the archdemon that the exorcists were preventing to be revived. Glad that Philia reached the desperate Mia on time and managed to save her and Girtonia before it takes on the worse damage. But I was right. They did merge the supposed separate events written in Volume 1 and 2 of the light novel version. And they did it seemlessly, if I say so myself. One battle is over. Another bigger one is about to come because of what Julius did when he escaped. Seriously! He really can't accept defeat, huh? Narcissist much? And yes, I'm including delusional to my description of his kind. Urgh!

I know I said I will stop watching this anime for some reasons. But I still managed to watch this episode before I decided to stop. And now here I am.
