Monday Afternoon Report: Entertainment News Weekly

Hi guys. You didn’t see wrongly; It’s a Monday I’m living OUTSIDE camp now. So, since that I have so much time due to the haze recently (it has cleared up liao wor, should’ve pissed those organisers already) I might as well do everything now.

ANIME
RDG: I almost forgot to watch it, so did it along with the other two shows yesterday. It has reached its last episode already, and I can surely say it ended quite reasonably, though not wonderfully. Izumiko then found out that she was actually the new generation Red Data Girl, and the previous one obviously said she found her last “vessel” to be her successor? Yeah, something like that. I guess 12 episodes isn’t enough to explain more, huh. Well, Takayanagi the dog sure made this episode interesting…
Oreimo: Hmm another episode of Kyousuke enjoying himself? And finally Ayase said her words of wanting a piece of the main guy, just like every other girl in this show. I finally now know I’m watching a dating simulation anime instead of a otaku-knowledge show liao… You guys heard about the worldwide simulcast? Unfortunately for me in Singapore watching it means I must have a Starhub cable TV system… I think?
Shingeki no Kyojin: This episode is great, I think, personally. The start to some great action, and it was wonderful to see the soldiers fly around and killing titans (or be killed by, haha). Armin hit the jackpot of waking Eren up to explore the world instead of taking revenge for his mother which clearly is in his dream scene, (Seriously? He still has time to sleep? That could only happen for the main character, huh…) which is good news. On the other hand, things are looking up, as people start to believe in the absurd assumption that transforming titans can save the humans from the threat of titans. Well, halfway there, another half to go. And next week should kick start the release of new opening and ending themes from Linked Horizon (again) and cinema staff (just take them as another random rock band in Japan?), which is going to be good to look forward to, wherever the show goes. No, the show is good. It’s getting better, actually… This week also is the date for releasing their superb soundtrack with songs and music sure to make me hyped for watching the show. Yeah.

SHOWS
MythBusters: Jamie and Adam traverse the canyons with only duct tape and bubble wrap. They’ve proven you can abseil yourself down a cliff, make yourself a boat to coast the rushing waters, and pretty much camp outside the wild. Well, clearly we can see Jamie’s much more survival-knowledgeable than Adam, yes? Adam’s just being camera-friendly….
CrazyGod: A competition-like ending to 苏乞儿,西游记 is next! That white cloud is so doing the pig role…

MANGA
BLEACH: I noticed I didn’t cover this the previous time, but it seems that Ichigo has gotten back his zanpakuto, and Namaiya, like a wholesale market owner gives a “forge-1-get-1” offer, and now Ichigo ALSO has dual swords, like Kyoraku, Ukitake and Hisagi. Really man. But let’s hope he gets back in the fight. At the time lapse they’re moving, Soul Society should be a piece of flat land by now…
Kuroshitsuji: Finally after waiting for a month we get the conclusion to the mystery of Derek, the victim that Ciel and Sebastian were tasked to find. And it seems to be seriously surprising. You guys guessed the “that was a funny joke” part when they were revealing the principal? Welcome to the Undertaker fan club then, haha. And yesh, why the hell zombies again? Poor things… let’s see how Sebastian takes it next chapter; This is going to be interesting…

MUSIC (I almost forgot, haha)
This week… yesh. *cheering* Mi-na-ko, Mi-na-ko… (Audience: Seriously? We know liao lah…) Okay. *ahem* This week’s the release of MIna-chan’s new single “Prism”, and both songs are surprisingly good, without any extra verses before the last chorus, which is good news, since I don’t want to be disappointed due to my pre-ordering weeks ago, haha. Also is the release of the first two Oreimo Ending Songs (which I didn’t mention above, sorry), which are… very Anime-style as you guys would have expected. Also just heard this week’s release, one of them lah. ClariS’ “SECOND STORY” album is… not very satisfactory, as I try to search for a song to remember this album by. Sambomaster’s single is definitely expected to come late, so I may end up having to do CD ripping of my OWN stock in order to meet the quota for the month. (Audience: What? There’s a quota you have to meet?) Seriously didn’t want to rip my own CDs, so… please upload people? Yes…

Hi guys, welcome back. If you have been only reading the first and last paragraph and getting a text-to-speech software to read the rest you will only understand… 10% of the content. Yeah. So please take a read, ok? Lazy people…

Next up: The Official Announcement for Klassic Note’s 5th Anniversary plans have been decided!!by me!)

[P.S.: Oh and forgot to say, that just yesterday I tried to waste about 40 SGD on purchasing two singles… from TAIWAN! OMG! It works like CDJapan, but I wonder if it would even arrive here. If it does, I now know of a new avenue to getting Chinese release much earlier than it comes to Singapore! Three cheers for my success!]
