(episode comment) shirohiyo: reincarnated as a neglected noble episode 12 (final)

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 didn't think they would end this on the part that Princess Hyakka had to leave for the whole winter and be back in spring, though. It's like saying that there's still something to look forward to. But hey, maybe the studio will do something about that. For now, I can only wish. 😁✌️

Ageha is definitely too young to start a company, obviously. But everything he would create surely caused some sort of chaos enough for some trouble to come — good or bad. Though it might not be that obvious at the moment, there would definitely be trouble brewing around. Especially with the matter of his god-forsaken parents. At least, that's how I woud call them. Then again, he wouldn't be alone in making his wishes and dreams happen. He was doing his best to secure a future for Regulus, after all. Regardless of the future that he knew, he was still doing it. It was for the sake of his brother and all of the people in Kikunoi, after all.

I will surely miss their cuteness, though. Especially the siblings. And now, looks like Kanade was included in the mix. He was the siblings' first friend, after all. And one day, hopefully, one of their greatest ally and confidante. That would be really great for all of them. Anyway, since I can't expect a second season anytime soon (even when it looked like it might not happen), I'll just continue reading the web novel version of this. 😊✌️❤️

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? 😂😂

By the way, according to one source, this anime will end in 12 episodes. But I wobder how will they wrap it up on the next episode. I do like it to have a second season, though. Or at least, make it 24 episodes.

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.

And then... a new character emerged. The last of the elves that made up the trio who was previously the etiquette and dieting teacher of Maria Crowe, as Ageha would put it. He still looked like a man, even when Regulus pointed out that he was, in fact, a woman. See? Even I would feel confused on what pronoun I should use for this elf. Then again, it looked like he didn't mind whichever people use. I don't recall reading in the web novel version about the part where Lara would send familiars to Viktor just to convince him to accompany him to go to the Kikunoi residence and meet Ageha. But maybe his appearance was just in time, since they finally point out about Ageha being out of shape and they needed to address it as soon as possible just so it would prevent any more health concerns for the five-year-old young Kikunoi lord.

Well, let's see how his dieting teacher would actually address this big issue. 😁✌️

journal entry #2057

The 127th Philippine Independence Day today. Not really sure what happened in town today for people to celebrate that since I didn't go out to head to town. Not to mention, it was mainly drizzling the whole day (or almost the whole day). So who knows. But for me, this date — or rather the day after June 12 — is the one that has the most significance for me in terms of my journaling journey.

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.

i seriously need to keep up... that's all there is to it

I was supposed to include these comments on my journal entry for today. But I figured that this would be the better option for today. Not to mention, nothing interesting happened today other than the fact that it rained again — hard. I guess monsoon season is really here already. In any case, I ended up doing this as I was resting from reading a web novel. Now that I finally finished watching these episodes, I can finally focus on doing something else.

At the moment, the only ones left for me to watch in the meantime are 3 episodes of Gozyuger and also 3 episodes of From Old Country Bumpkin To Master Swordsman. That's still a lot for my brain that seems to settle having a short attention span that doesn't usually happen. But hey, I think I'd be able to get by. I just don't know when.

But for now, let me write down my comments on 2 episodes of both Shirohiyo and The Too-Perfect Saint. Let's go!

(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.

just commenting on two episodes of loaded cuteness for me

I only managed to watched two episodes out of all the episodes of various animes that I still have to watch. But this is better than nothing, to be honest. I would have those days when I don't even want to do anything at all. So having this is good.

It's just a cute anime that I won't mind watching over and over. That's all I can say.

Anyway, here are my comments for the two episodes of Shirohiyo that I watched today.

continuing on ongoing ones and starting a new one

The Too-Perfect Saint Episode 3: Philia takes in new student. Not that she had one to begin with, of course. And it turned out that her student named Grace was related to the previous Saint of Parnacorta. Didn't know that. But maybe I just haven't read that part yet in the light novel. Anyway, at least she was doing well in that department. Now she had more people to communicate with other than the ones in the castle. She was learning a lot more about how life should be normally, even for her as a Saint. But because of the teachings and the treatment imposed on her, she never really realized anything like that at all. But what the heck? Now the kingdom that sold her wanted her back? It's obviously that jerk of a prince who was making this happen. Like what Prince Osvalt said, it was some kind of a joke. Now we'll see how Philia will take this.

Shirohiyo: Reincarnated As A Neglected Noble Episode 3: Well, Ageha's parents were worst than I thought. Even that guy Sebastian. Like what the heck? Trying to even kill a kid who had no idea of what was going on. Gosh! Anyway, maybe it was for Ageha's advantage that he regained his past life's memories. Not to mention, I'm still questioning how did he realize that Regulus would kill him in the future --- possibly out of spite because of what their father would tell him over time. Then again, who knows what really transpired for that to possibly happen. Adults in that world were seriously manipulative. At least, Ageha have adults that he could trust in one way or another. One was even a Designated Imperial Hero, at that. Even a goddess was by his side just in case. So I think Ageha would be fine. Now let's see what would happen now that Ageha allowed Regulus to remain by his side to teach him things.

From Old Country Bumpkin To Master Swordsman Episode 1: So basically, Beryl was never aware of his own capabilities as a swordsman to the point that when people point it out to him, he would just downplay it. But the people around him knew very well what his capabilities were. Especially the ones he taught before. At least he was given an opportunity to become someone he should be, as the others had always thought of. Now it's definitely up to him. Of course, he has to deal with his former students fighting and bickering just to get his attention and stuff. Honestly, that would be tough to deal with.

when waiting took a weird turn in my writing productivity

Talk about something incredibly annoying today. I mean, I know I'm a patient person --- at least... most of the time. But such a slow service was seriously shaving off what patience I have in me. Gosh!

To know what I was talking about, I went to town to pay for the electric bill. But my goodness! It took me two hours just waiting for my turn to pay. Yes, there were queue numbers. But the service was just so slow, I thought I was about to sleep there. Urgh! Was it supposed to be this slow only because Holy Week was over?

In any case, at least the waiting somehow helped with my writing productivity. I was continuing to write HFLM by adding the narratives and also Seitenger. Yes, a different story to tackle this week. I might not follow the pattern I made last week that I would just write dialogues since I already have an outline for this particular episode of Seitenger. So I could just continue doing the usual on this story.

The waiting also made me watch the first two episodes of Shirohiyo and the 3rd episodes of both "The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows" and "The Unaware Atelier Master". So let me put my thoughts on each of the anime here.

Shirohiyo Episodes 1-2: I can't believe Ageha (as a 5 years old) had to deal with something as crappy and hateful as his parents, just because he was the product of an unwanted union and near death. Like what the heck? Blaming it all on a child? I wonder how he will approach the situation now that it finally dawned to him just how much his parents never wanted him, though. Both were selfish people that I wanted to strangle, if I can, to be honest. And now, a half-brother appeared in the scene. The brother that --- according to him --- would kill him in the future. Like, are you freaking kidding me? By the way, how did he know that fact? I guess I'm missing something. But I think things would be better for him in the long run, now that his maid, his tutor, and even the goddess were becoming close to him and becoming his confidante, in a way. Maybe I should read the web novel version for me to know the details since I couldn't find the light novel version.

The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows Episode 3: Does the three leaders of the slum factions really have to fight for Zenos' attention that way? But of course, he would end up using his healing skills and becoming a mediator, at the least. Crazy way to use your healing abilities to stop a fight that had been going on for a long while. And of course, as expected, Krishna has finally appeared. But did they really have to put the cliffhanger of gunning him down like that? Crazy woman, if you ask me.

The Unaware Atelier Master Episode 3-4: As per usual, Kurt is seriously unaware and very much naive. And I also think very much caught up in his past experience of how he was treated in the party befor getting kicked out. He was using way too much comparison with his past experience. Now, the Atelier is about to form. His skills were checked and confirmed. Yikes! But that ninja from the former party was someone I was worried about. What was her goal, anyway? And now she would head to Kurt's hometown? As much as it was a mystery to me, I really want to question her intentions for doing that. I did notice that the characters appearing on the last sequence of the opening credit were getting added in each episode. Now the new party that Kurt joined to was there, as well.

Woah! I guess I went way ahead about this. But I think I'd rather do this, to be honest. Yup, this is better.
