Sunday Anime Line Up!

Finally feeling better after the pain I caused to myself since before the weekend. It is cold and raining like crazy outside after it snowed like 3 in. yesterday so it was the perfect time to catch up on all my missing anime from the last few days.😁

Now since i had to catch up on three days worth I won't try and catch up on my posts by putting up double the amount so later on this week I'm just going to mention this weeks and last weeks ep to make it easier.🧐

Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru

So the last 2 ep we have fully met the person that took over the Magical Scepter and honestly i don't like her at all. Like I do understand Togashi and how they should try and work together but man it would be like pulling teeth for me personally.😖 Now to a more important part, the emergency gem stone. Why would you make it happen with just your name? That moment was just so perfect!😂

Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi

Okay so this is weeks ep was kinds of cute. I was worried that the Prince was pullin' shenanigans but it turned out to be something completely different and also W for the Queen for the map! Take that Prince Pain in the Ass.😉

Shangri-La Frontier 2nd season

I am loving this Pirate High Seas Arc for sure! Like i thought it was over after we sort of beat the Lycagon but nah gettin' right back into it and man the fish people, the mermaids, the kraken! Give me more!😈

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2

Okay last episode was too light hearted so i knew something was gonna happen and for sure it did, but I was so on the fence cause the idea of both apparitions being alive just made he tear up so much. I want it to be so true, but I know it isn't possible. 😣

What To Do

So i've been trying to decide what to do with my blog here since I restarted it and I'm thinking of just sharing all the merch, cons, figures, and other Japanese related stuff i am into. I really do enjoy and respect the culture a lot and have an interest in almost everything about it!

I was slowly collecting figures for a while, but really got started during Covid when there were no cons going on. I pretty much just started to spend my saved con money on them and it took off! I believe I have over 50, if I include my Nendoroids, with more on ther way each year. Its a pretty bad habit that is hard to stop...not that I want to.

Also once a month I try to get to NJ where i have a little Japanese Mecca called Mitsuwa where I also spend waaaay too much money, but I have so much fun and get to see all kinds of foods and gadgets that i would love to own one day not to mention practically every ingredient I need to cook any Japanese dish I can imagine!

I may sprinkle in some family stuff like concerts I've seen with my kids not bandom related as well as other real life moment. I guess I will see in the future. Again not sure who is going to read this or take the journey with me, but if this is just a good way to keep my memories alive, I'll take it.

This was awesome! ^0^

Don’t Do That Again?

Seriously, I do not understand. I say i had a bad day, and you don;t even ask me how my day was or how bad it was? You say to ma that I am a day late responding to you and then you tell me not to do that again like i am a fucking child? I know you will be expressing negative sentiment towards me on social media too and I can;t do anything about it except just take it. Take what you decide to give me. How is that fair?

I Don't Want to Go to Work Tomorrow

Watching random recipes on youtube as I try and decide if I want to go to work tomorrow. It is going to snow about 2 in. here and the schools are already closed but I still have work cause crazy people want bagels and soup in a damn snow storm apparently.🙄

I don't want to go but I already didn't go in yesterday cause I was so tired. Yeah full grown adults have those kind of days too. Plus my son's cat was making it hard to leave the bed so I blame him too.😅

Either way, it is no fun driving in the snow honestly and I know that we will hardly have any guests plus everyone else is going to call in so why should I be the only adult...over the age of 30 that shows up and get stuck there doing the work of 5 people or being made to clean something that no one has cleaned in months just cause I am there. Like 14 years at this place and i am still treated like the kids, no offense to anyone specific, that just started or have been there like a year. I've been there longer than all my managers for fuck sake!😒

Anyway so yeah, I really can't afford it especially since I don't know what is going on with my tax return or my daughter's survivor benefits thanks to Muskhole getting a hold of our personal info illegally, but I am just tired of being the grown up when my body feels more like a damn senior. I identify with Sophie so much. No wonder it's my fav Ghibli movie.😩

Rant over i guess and i'll go back to watching vids that make me smile and I guess i'll let you know if I decide to go in or not tomorrow.😞

I need to write this.

Interesting Discovery

Still working through the first week of the new anime season. Its been an interesting ride so far. I don't have any thoughts on anything that is a must watch other than continuing animes and new seasons of animes but I think by next week i will have a good idea.🧐

That being said, my discovery doesn't have anything to do with this seasons anime but it does help me with my enjoyment of it. I realized that because of my inability to sleep at night and spending most of the day sleeping. I need to stop pushing myself to get things done by forcing myself to be awake when my body and mind are not ready to handle it.

Appointments aside, cause those are planned times, as long as the places I need to go to are open in the evening I need to tell myself it is okay to do those errands at that time. Same with getting things done around the house. I started working in the kitchen after 11/2300 yesterday and by 0430 I had two salads in the fridge, stuffed shells ready to go into the over for dinner the next day, all the dishes done that I used, and a quarter of the kitchen reorganized.😁

I felt more productive and woke up in the afternoon not feeling lazy at all! it was a feeling that I have been missing for a long time cause i would fight to sleep tossing and turning and then feel guilty when I finally fell asleep in the morning and slept the whole day away thinking that it meant i couldn't get anything done. Talk about feeling like a waste.😩

Now I can get everything done and have plenty of time to relax and watch new anime without feeling like i should be doing other things.😉

Is It Osomatsu Summer Yet?

If you make it to the end of this i'm impressed.😆

Okay so I don't really want it to be cause where i live I am going to be miserable buuuuuuut, the Summer Anime Season is where I am looking cause among my many returning animes is Osomatsu-san, a pretty niche anime in the West but beloved by Japan so much that is made a come back 80 years later and is now on it's 4th season!😲

Originally called Osomatsu-kun back in the 60's, Osomatsu-san is about six identical sibling brothers and their daily lives of being NEETS and a burden on the world they live in. It's a slice of life that can be really funny if you get the jokes. It has an amazing cast including my number one seiyū Sakurai Takahiro- san! As per usual he is the one that got me into watching this anime! He voices the oldest Matsu brother and is the namesake of the series as a whole!

Although they do wear matching outfits at times as a nod to the original anime they are color coded and have unique personalities to tell them apart. Here listed are the names, colors, personalities and who voices them.

Sakurai Takahiro-san does the voice of the biggest NEET out of all of the brothers. He's also addicted to Pachiko.

Also the voice of Gojo sensei, Nakamura Yūichi-san gives this brother a cool nature...or tries to.

Kamiya Hiroshi-san is the voice of kind of the most boring brother for me. I don't know he just does not stand out as much as the others in personality.

Fukuyama Jun-san bring this eternally depressed brother to life and he is low key probably my second fav brother.

Knowing Ono Daisuke-san, there was no yellow highlight color, from a character like Sebastian Michelas it threw me for such a loop to hear him, and see his live, voice such a dopey airheaded character. Like it really showed his range to me!

The youngest and most adorable brother and my third fav he actually has a job and tries to be the opposite of his oldest brother. He is voiced by Irino Miyu-san.

There are a ton of live events too from the series and even not translated you can see how much fun everyone is having and really getting into their character. This is why I say when you change a seiyū for a character you are not just changing their voice but you are changing the whole character so it is not the same anymore.😖

They often go on stage with their counterparts from the anime and have contests and silly games they play which I end up laughing so hard at cause these are grown ass men near my age and they act like this for a living! Ugh, so jealous!

Anyway so that's my post on one of my fav anime series as well as the seiyū's who voice it. I don't know who is gonna get to the end of this but I hope if not the anime itself you will have more appreciation for the people that give the characters life. That's the true goal of an seiyū otaku.

Please Stop Comparing Them😓

So I decided to do one last anime rant for tonight. This one is just a personal feeling but it has just gotten stronger and stronger as the season has gone on. Please please PLEASE stop comparing Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte to House MD.😒

For those that don't live in the USA or use a VPN to watch American shows, House MD is a dramedy about a doctor named Gregory House that is an unconventional, misanthropic, cynical medical genius who, despite his dependence on pain medication, successfully leads a team of diagnosticians at the fictional Princeton–Plainsboro Teaching Hospital (PPTH) in New Jersey. That was from IMBD. Now...

Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte is about Ameku Takao Sensei a brilliant yet eccentric director of investigative pathology at Tenikai General Hospital, in charge of diagnosing patients the other hospital departments cannot. However, due to her love of solving mysteries, Takao also gets involved with mysterious deaths and murders, all while dragging along her assistant Takanashi Yu Sensei in her various adventures. Again this is from the novel description.🧐

Now what do they have in common; Well they are both super smart. That makes sense. Both Ameku Sensei and Dr. House have people in charge that they butt heads with naturally. They also diagnose patients in unique and unconventional ways. Again that all makes sense. Now lets see what is different.🤔

Oh yeah...HE'S PSYCHOTIC! House is also dependent on pain meds so yeah addiction. What's Ameku Sensei addicted to? Sweets and picking on Takanashi sensei dragging him out to do silly things like cafes and movies...wait, those are date spots...ugh we can only hope thanks to the ED. 😋

i also know that House has a downward spiral multiple times from his addiction and his mental breaking moments. I do acknowledge that he is much older that Ameku Sensei is but that just means he is old enough to take responsible for reals.🙄

Okay okay I know these are both fictional characters and who really cares whether they are compared. I guess I am just personally bothered that there can be a young female fictional character that solves patient's diagnosis as well as some mysteries on the side and be a good person. Why does there have to be something wrong with them? Why do they have to have a mental defect and not just be quirky? What's wrong with quirky? Doogie Houser MD was quirky...well he was still high school age. Oh and he was played by Neil Patrick Harris from How I Met Your Mother.😅

Anyway, rant over and I just needed to get this off my chest so feel free to ignore it all, but I feel better now so I can sleep...aka read manga till I pass out.😁
