(episode comment) the too-perfect saint episode 12

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.

I mean, the wrap up was good. But I feel like the final battle and the way the Archdemon finally vanished was a bit rushed. Then again, maybe that's just me. It felt longer to me when I was reading it and also a bit intense. But hey, at least it was already done and hopefully, no other threat would come. Of course, people say that peace is never eternal. So who knows what else could happen next.

I think the anime only put the Saint Summit in passing when I saw several saints from different countries meeting one month after the battle with the archdemon. Though it was never mentioned in the anime, I think that was what it's all about. And yes, Philia and the others did find Emily weird thinking she was all that, even when Hilgarde did acknowledge that Grace's eldest sister was close to Philia in terms of powers. Of course, the competition for Philia's attention between Grace and Mia was shown. That just looked funny.

Glad that Philia was able to do something to patch up and catch up with her biological mother and learn a lot about the family that she was supposed to have. The one thing that I never read much but saw in the anime was about Prince Fernand and Mia. I mean, it could be possible, right? The two of them. Philia and Prince Osvalt did work it out — which was already expected. Only, the difference was the proposal. It wasn't mentioned in the anime. But Prince Osvalt did ask for Philia's hand in marriage in the light novel.

Oh, well. At least, all's well that ends well. Now I got to finish a new anime.

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.

(episode comment) the too-perfect saint episode 10

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 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!

i think i went all out on doing this today... but who cares, right? 😁✌️

Yikes! This is honestly way too much for a blog entry. But hey, like what the title said, I'm going all out. So here I am! There's nothing wrong with that, right? At least, I'm writing something and maybe it will help with curing my procrastination in some way.

I think I watched about five episodes today of different shows. And even I would say that it's a lot for me since I don't usually watch that many episodes of different animes and other shows as doing so would sometimes give me headache right after. Thankfully, it didn't happen today.

In any case, let's start listing the comments I made for each episodes I watched today.

i am seriously way late when it comes to watching and also commenting 😭😭

I don't really have much to say on this, to be honest. But I'm still watching. At least, that's a good thing. And I don't have the need to hurry or anything or else, I would only stress myself out. At least, I know I shouldn't be worrying too much and I can just do things on my own pace.

For now, these two episodes were the ones I managed to watch 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.

my days don't always go like this

Things got a little busy for me and I think that's a good thing. There were a lot of things going on in my mind around that time. Not sure what to make of that, though. I mean, being busy is great. Sure. But when your mind would add itself to the mix, maybe that's something else to worry about at times.

I was able to watch the 4th episode of "The Too Perfect Saint" and it does align with the sequence presented in the light novel. By the way, I was reading the light novel alongside watching the anime. Prince Julius... He's already a hopeless case and I really think Mia wanted to strangle her for being obvilious and also uncaring towards the welfare of the kingdom. Same goes to the knights who were supposed to be helping Mia. At least, she now knows that her sister Philia was sending her letters and it just wasn't reaching her because of obvious reasons. People were definitely hindering the sisters from communicating and for Mia to know the real reason why her sister was sent off to Parnacorta. Never realized that ninja was actually existing there. At least, I think Himari is somewhat similar to a ninja. Anyway, time for Mia to make a decision.

Now what else?

Honestly, I didn't do much except for continuing to write Seitenger and watching more videos in YT. I mean, I still haven't reached the first fight sequence of the team against another Triske Monster on this episode. They still had to deal with Amuro's crazy idea, you know. And Helen hadn't woken up at this point. I've also been wanting to write imagines because of watching so many videos about it that my mind was swirling with ideas after ideas. Then again, I had to put it to a stop at some point becaus it tends to go astray — away from the original intention, if you know what I mean.

Surprisingly, it rained here. Now the temperature dropped a little, which makes it somehow refreshing. But who knows? Hot season can be really crazy here, even in one of the coldest places in the country. 😁✌️

a busy good friday, new anime to watch, and just continuing to write

Today is a little bit... crazy for me even though it's Good Friday. I mean, I did some writing. At least that was a good thing. Yeah, maybe I should really just focus on writing dialogues first before putting on the narratives. But I finally noticed that the scene would definitely be longer than I intend to when I added the narratives. But as long as I reached the intended word count for that chapter, then I'm all good. I just have to count the words manually for now since I'm writing the whole thing by hand on paper for now.

And to be honest, instead of writing journal entries and letters on the story "Letters To Sunrise", I'm thinking of writing scenes and just add the letters. Or maybe I should still include the journal entries, as well? Gosh, now I don't know what to do. I mean, I guess I could do it using dialogues as my medium for outlining. Or maybe I should use the journal entries as the outline of the story. At the moment, I don't know. Maybe I'll just continue debating in my mind in the meantime.

The weather was still hot. I know there's nothing I can do about it. The water that we've been waiting for days wa finally delivered. For Good Friday, I think this is still pretty much a good day for me.

I finally watched the first three episodes of "The Too-Perfect Saint" anime version. Yes, I have a copy of the first 2 volumes of the light novel, but I still haven't read it. One obvious comment for the Prince and the parents — I really want to cut their heads off for doing that to Philia. And even the people of the kingdom. They were the ones who became the worst even when she was doing her job perfectly as the Saint. And yet all they did was to scorn her and mock her behind her back. Even way too complacent and possibly influenced by the crazy Prince. Yikes! At least, the country where she was sold off had been treating her nicely. Her sister Mia was something else, as well. I really thought she was just another sister villainess of the protagonist. But I guess that wasn't the case here. She finally saw the true colors of the people surrounding her and her sister. She finally learned the truth about Philia's departure from the kingdom. And now, she was out for revenge. I guess she just really loves her sister, huh?
