I already posted Episode 6 of Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger (the Sentai story that I've been working on since... possibly 2016?) and it was a whopping 25k+ words! I mean, what in the world? And now, I'm working on the 7th episode already. I know I have to. Hopefully, I could lower the word count to just 21k+ or below that. ππ

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.9
While all of that was going on inside the barrier, the rest of the Seitengers were still busy dealing with many more Gargonemas and the new bigger ones continuing to attack them.
"They just don't know when to give up, do they?" SeitenWater complained before landing a hard final strike at a few Gargonemas in front of them.
"Onii-chan!"
That shout coming from SeitenLight made the others turn to her. To their confusion, she was looking up. They followed it, only to be surprised at the sight that greeted them.

Reiyouki Sentai Seitenger 6.8
That question emerged when all of them couldn't keep their balance as the earth trembled and shook for a few moments. Yes, it was short, but without a doubt, a strong one. All four Seitengers outside the barrier fell to the ground as the shaking continued. Before they could realize what was going on, they raised their heads upon hearing a loud boom.
"Are they crazy?!" SeitenWater shouted and tried to stand up but the shaking of the ground prevented him and his friends from doing so.
Next thing they knew, their surroundings became filled with explosion sounds and pained screams coming from the Seitengers. The remaining grunt soldiers used a combined cannon attack towards the team, but not enough to disintegrate their transformation --- and yet they were now injured and struggling to even stand up. All four of them raised their heads despite the pain to discern the situation. They couldn't even believe what they were seeing.
"They sure had the guts to do this to us all together, huh?" SeitenFire couldn't help commenting as he forced himself to stand up, one hand clutching his side. It didn't look like there was an injury there, but it was still painful. All that he could recall was that something hard had struck him on that part as the explosion happened.

【episode comment】no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 2
Honestly, I still don't know what to think about this series. But since this was only starting, I know I have to give it a benefit of a doubt, so to speak. It's still early for me to judge it with only watching 2 episodes out of a possibly 45-50 episodes series. This episode really made me see that they were rivals, even when they were already starting to gather and they were fighting the No-Ones. Hoeru's still bored with his life, Rikuo's kind of giving a pompous vibe somehow and Ryugi just being too much of a worshipper.

【episode comment】i left my a-rank party to help my former students reach the dungeon depths episode 7
This is basically — and without a doubt — the episode I hated the most, so far. I mean, I knew that this was coming. I didn't think it would be this soon. Seriously! Stupidity to the highest level. Kind of crazy that I complain this way about Thunder Pike's actions towards Yuke and the other Clover members even though I already read this in the web novel version. But heck! This was still irritating to watch. I mean, it was already annoying and irritating just by reading it. But I guess it still has a different impact when I was watching it. A lot of the gory stuff mentioned in the web novel wasn't shown in the anime. Maybe that has something to do with censorship or something. It was like, it was just mentioned or implied that the two (obviously) died, only it happened behind the scene.

Hope From Love's Memories - Chapter 2
Wala ngang training ng araw na iyon si Ilsie, pero hindi pa rin siya pinatahimik ng mga 'di maipaliwanag na mga panaginip. Ang resulta, hindi na naman siya nakatulog ng maayos. Kaya hindi na nakapagtataka kung hindi na naman maganda ang mood niya dahil doon.
Then again, it wasn't like she could actually put a stop to it, considering that she'd been dealing with that for 15 years now. Ang tanging magagawa na lang niya para matakasan iyon ay ang hanapin ang sagot kung bakit hanggang sa mga sandaling iyon ay patuloy pa rin siyang pinagpapakitaan ni Elysriel sa mga panaginip.
Nakikita niya ito roon, pati na rin ang Guardian na sa pagkakaalala niya ay Francis ang pangalan. Though she was aware na may Osmerth Guardian sa Human Realm na ganoon ang pangalan ayon kay Stephen, hindi siya sigurado kung ang Francis na nasa panaginip niya at ang kaibigan ni Stephen ay iisa.
At this point, she had no way of knowing.

【episode comment】from bureaucrat to villainess episode 7
So I just watched the 7th episode. And finally, the Magic Exhibition started. But before that, we finally see Grace's father. I didn't think that changing the surname of the husband after marriage is possible in a medieval style world. I only know this tradition in a Japanese marriage, especially when the woman was from a prestigious family or when the woman's family doesn't have a male heir or something. So they adopt the woman's husband through marriage. I'm not sure how the system on that actually works. So I can't explain it fully.

【episode comment】no. 1 sentai gozyuger episode 1: savior no. 1!
Well, that's a good start. For me, I guess. I just can't believe it took me one week before I got to finish watching this. But since I was watching other shows and also doing something else, I guess I ended up forgetting it. Sorry.

【episode comment】i left my a-rank party to help my former students reach the dungeon depths! episode 6
Well, that was nuts! At least for Simon and his party members — with the exception of Jamie. I mean, he literally dug his own grave and that of his party members for doing that. I mean, come on! Was that how high he thinks of himself that he doesn't even know how to self-reflect on his actions? Or he was just plain stupid?

【episode comment】the wheel of time season 1 episode 1
I was supposed to do this yesterday as soon as I finished watching it. But I got held back by other activities I prefer doing. That, and I was still trying to process what I watched. I'm going to be honest here, I havent't read the books at all. So doing this will possibly give me a different perspective on the story.

about the commenters of that ongoing anime
Honestly, I think it's for the best that I rant here than there (the Youtube channel where 'that' anime is airing and posted). This is also one reason why I kept reminding myself not to look at comments in each episode since it would only piss me off.

【episode comment】from bureaucrat to villainess episode 6
So this episode is more about Grace's preparation for the Magic Exhibition that they let her participate. I don't think she even wanted to participate. But since her Magic Beast was unique in more ways than one, she wasn't given much of a choice. I really can't help getting reminded of Shinkenger whenever I would see Grace write Kanji on the magic circles. Which, of course, makes me want to watch that series again. But maybe some other time. In a way, I think she was having a lot more of an understanding about how the magic system of that world works and also of Anna's magic. About when monsters would be drawn to it because of its power and such. But maybe there was another reason for the immense power that Anna's magic held. I don't know why I thought of it that way, though.

【silent vlog】a day in the hospital
Okay. The title can be misleading, but it's not about something bad, okay? I just can't think of a proper title. In this vlog, by the way, I decided to use one of Inshot's newest features — AI speech. I think this is something good for anyone who still don't have the confidence to speak in front of the camera or even record myself speaking. Just like me. Then again, it remains to be seen. But I'd still like to do something about that problem one of these days.

Hope From Love's Memories - Chapter 1
HINDI NAMAN sa gusto niyang magreklamo. Pero kung si Ilsie ang tatanungin, mas gugustuhin na niyang matulog na lang sa bahay kaysa ang mag-training nang araw na iyon. Hindi niya alam kung bakit ganoon na lang ang nasa isip niya ng mga sandaling iyon.
Sa pagkakaalala niya ay hindi naman siya napagod sa training na ginawa niya kahapon kasama ang iba pang mga Power Caster na kapareho lang ng ranggo niya at nagsasanay din kagaya niya. Pero bakit parang tamad na tamad siya na tila ayaw na niyang bumangon pa sa kama niya?
"Himala, 'insan! Ano'ng nakain mo at hindi ka sumama sa training ngayon? Meron ka?"
Bago pa man siya tuluyang makasagot ay agad na hinablot ng kamay niya ang unan na nasa tabi lang niya at inibato iyon sa kadarating na bisita. Ilsie smirked when it landed straight to the guy's face.

random thought on a midday
...and it just added to my list of Super Sentai series that I haven't watched after Ryusoulger.
Why did I stop? Definitely not because I don't like it anymore. That much I can tell.
Was it the characters? I'm sure it's not the plot. But something was definitely stopping me from watching Sentai the same way as before. I just couldn't tell what.
Anyway, we'll see if Gozyuger will change that for me. Or maybe I should just start watching the other series without any thought of other things.
LIST OF SUPER SENTAI SERIES I HAVEN'T WATCHED IN A LONG WHILE:
- Lupinranger VS Patranger (I know this was shown after Kyuranger, but I seriously haven't watched this at all)
- Kiramager
- Zenkaiger
- Donbrothers
- King-ohger
- Boonboomger
I really need to do something about this.

【episode comment】i left my a-rank party to help my students reach the dungeon depths episode 5
It really looked like Simon couldn't get any more idiotic than he already was. I mean, seriously. He still doesn't admit that he and his party were literally failing as adventurers. He still think that Yuke owed him. He used his childhood friend's childhood dream to lure him into coming back to Thunder Pike. He doesn't even acknowledge his own mistakes. For real. It really appeared that he couldn't get any more stupid. Or maybe he would get worse from here.

【silent vlog】an unexpected saturday
I have a lot to talk about in each of my vlog, to be honest. But it's not easy to do that when all I want is just record a few clips enough to reach one minute or so. Even with that, I still want to continue doing this while showing parts of my life in my 30s. There's no reason for me to lie about my age, though. Maybe that would deter you from watching this. Then again, this is my real life.

【episode comment】from bureaucrat to villainess episode ⁵
This is kind of funny, to be honest. But I still love it. Kenzaburo was still trying to act as a villainess, but it seems that it wasn't working the way that he wanted to. Even his daughter on the other side of the screen realized that, as well. But I wonder if he'd be able to realize soon that his daughter actually knew about him being inside the game. Then again, with the way he was starting to become immersed in the game, that would definitely take some time.

【silent vlog】life and writing mixing up
Life makes me crazy most of the time. So my writings were the ones with enough power to keep me sane. Of course, even life gets in the way multiple times. Not that I can help it, actually.

Chains - Chapter 2
The moment I blinked, the vision that shocked me as soon as I raised my head had vanished... just like that. And did I really hear it right?
'Help me...' She said those words. Or rather hissed them, which sent chills down to my spine.
But at that moment, I remembered something from my past.
It was about 'him'.

Chains - Chapter 1
Not once in my life had I thought of coming across this kind of... adventure. Wait, should I really call it like that?
No, I shouldn't. It was a nightmare, one that haunted me ever since it happened. And until now, those memories only made me become aware of a skill I couldn't even fathom as to where it could possibly come from.
"Natsuki, can you put these books for me on their respective shelves?"
That order, who just called me by one of my nicknames, from my boss Okasaka Shiro made me snap out of my reverie back to the past. Again.

【episode comment】i left my a-rank party to help my former students reach the dungeon depths episode 4
This is the first time I realized that modelling/being a brand model would go hand in hand with adventuring. In this episode, however, I was proven wrong at some point. So the armors they used were the ones featured in the opening and ending songs of the anime. They were fancier than the ones they initially used. At least now, I have a visual of the armors that each of the girls had, compared to when I was reading it in the web novel.

【episode comment】from bureaucrat to villainess episode 4
Okay! Beast Summoning, everyone! Or should I call it hatching beasts from its egg? Okay, that was a weird term to use. Anyway, I was curious about the egg's purpose when it first appeared in Episode 1. So it was supposed to be for this particular purpose.
