This episode was both intense and chaotic in a way. Maybe it was chaotic for me because of what Hoeru had to go through as a trial that the sword gave. I wonder why the sword chose him, though. Tega Sword did say that it chose Hoeru. I don't think it has anything to do with his lack of wishes or dreams, though. He has them, he just didn't know it or maybe haven't fully dived into them for him to realize it. But in the end, he made his choice, even if it means his parents forgetting that he and Kuon (or Hisamitsu, as he was previously called) were even their children. A world of chaos where he has to fight alongside the people he met in his lonely journey. It looked like there would still be hope, though.

I know that this is going to be a chaotic episode, with the issue involving Rikuo, Rei and Sumino were already reaching the breaking point (or maybe not yet). Yes, the desperation in all three of them were also reaching the breaking point, albeit each were for different reasons. Two were obviously for the desire to save the people close to them. I don't know about Rei, though. I think he already lost his mind when his career as a surgeon was over after saving Rikuo. And maybe a soldier serving the Calamity called Cladis took advantage of that. I didn't pay attention at first when they were first mentioning the word "calamity" in the previous episodes. But it looks like that word has an even bigger role to play when it comes to the Universe War.

Souji (Kyoryuger)/Fuuka (Ninninger): Do What It Takes
Even if it means really disappearing in your life completely, I'll still do what it takes to fight and defy the fate laid out for us... — Florence Joyce

Just how many last battles were they going to deal with just to grasp the peace that they truly wanted? Was it really hard to even think of?
They weren't meant to fight this much, if other people would think so. However, it seemed that it wasn't something that fate had intended for them to have.

Ryugi... Why does it have to come to that? Does it really have to end up like that for you? For someone really devoted to Tega Sword? I mean, come on. Even when I wasn't really fond of him, he's still an important part of the Gozyugers. He's like an older brother to them and would definitely keep Hoeru in check. Their dynamic was amusing and fascinating to me. Maybe that's why he fought Hoeru that way? I don't know. The fear was, I think, really eating him that he thought his decision was for the best. Then again, nothing ends that easily. Even for someone as devoted as him to Tega Sword and being a Gozyuger.

One thing I can say about this — never comment on someone's struggles just because it never happened to you. Arata seriously has the guts to use Hoeru's lack of dreams and wishes against him just because he heard it from Kuon. But even there was a reason for that and it could be one of the factors that had contributed to his survival in No-One World. I really appreciate the friendship between Fire Candle and Bouquet. For real. Mashiro was still concerned for Bouquet's well-being, even when she was an enemy. Of course, it's still funny that he ended up chraging her for all that he did to help her. Usual money-grabbing Mashiro. 😂😂 Kuon was brutal to everyone, even his employees, as per usual. To think he was really killing them, even when it was implied off-screen. What really happened to him all those years, seriously? He was losing his humanity by becoming Tega June's lap dog, as most would say. He's crazy, that's for sure. Not sure if he would still be worth saving at the end of all of this, to be honest.

Will there come a time that Hoeru won't be fired in a job that he applied to? I mean, for real. But seriously, Toei? Does it really have to be there? Then again, I don't think it ever happened before. At least, based from what I've watched related to that company. Why does this episode feel like a filler episode and at the same time, a recap episode? I kept seeing recap episodes in some of the anime that I would watch lately. So I couldn't help questioning that. In any case, it's still an entertaining one for me to watch.

Well, that was some test of grit... and one's worth after failing. At least, thst's how I would describe the episode. Just a continuation of the previous one, and more rings appeared to fight the team. The surprising one was Mashiro summoning Tega Sword and even ToQ-Oh. I mean, he and Tega Sword had a beef, right? And yet, he still managed to summon him. Then again, he was still a Ring Warrior once before. He might have a different method now, but he still rely on the powers from the past. There was just something going on about Mashiro. That's what I think. And I mean more than what the story and himself was implying.

With how peaceful things had been over the years, life should be going smoothly, right? Then again, when one knew that peace was never eternal, there would still be worries lingering. One couldn't help thinking about how long would this last.
Mako should be thinking of something else that was of similar importance, to be honest. But at the moment, she was just sitting inside a cafe, drinking the coffee she ordered with nothing else in mind.

It seems that Hoeru would continue to impress Rikuo in more ways than one. But in this case, it was really needed to wake him up from the fact that he doesn't have to do everything that Rei had wanted him to do because of what happened in the past. Both of them couldn't let go, but only one would use that to his advantage to gain something. Good thing he was snapped out of it somehow. And that both Hoeru and Kumade were on with it. As for their battle with Fire Candle, it really seems that only Hoeru can match that. Both were seeking for more power, each for different reasons. No wonder they were rivals for that. And that's probably the reason why Orca Booster reacted so strongly when it was caged and Fire Candle was tied. Hoeru was the one howling alongside Ryugi and Kinjiro around the time to get its attention. And now, that power belonged to Gozyu Wolf. I like the power-up form, by the way --- both on Gozyu Wolf and Tega Sword. But why blood moon, though? Hmm... Maybe I shouldn't give it more thought for now. Perhaps the answer will come some time soon, in the upcoming episodes.

- I had to accompany my mom to the hospital for her laboratory tests,
- I had to go to the market to buy some ingredients for dinner; and
- I had to come back to the stall where I was supposed to pick up Mama's order of big siomai, though I wasn't able to get that because the seller wasn't able to deliver it on time. I ended up buying different ingredients to added to our dinner instead.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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. 😊✌️

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.

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.

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.
