Acnologia’s Legacy Chapter 9: The Butcher of Regaza-La

tag for people who might be interested in this or I asked if I could tag: @marumigamer @theupcomingstorm19 and @chychymazzu

As Jonathan walks back to the door, he’s greeted by two very familiar faces. Both Wendy and Gajeel are astonished by Jonathan’s power, taking attacks from Blue Note like it was nothing.

“How did ya take that old guy out?!”, asks Gajeel very irritated.

“That’s what I also would like to know”, adds Wendy in a little angered confusion, as she adds, “And how did you withstand his magic? Didn’t it affect you at all?”

Jonathan looks at the both of them for a few seconds. Then he lifts his arms and crosses them holding one hand to his chin.

“How should I explain this...”, he starts, “...it’s like this. Blue Notes Magic is powerful but his arsenal is almost completely composed of gravity-based Spells. Meaning, that I could counteract it with either brute strength or with a magic spell that cancels out his Magic”, Jonathan explains.

Wendy thinks for a moment and then nods at Gajeel: “It makes sense”

Gajeel looks at him for a moment, sceptical: “Listen here, Punk. After this mission I want you to fight me! Got it?!”.

The blue haired Mage looks at him a bit concerned and then looks back at Jonathan. He looks back at her, gazing into her beautiful brown eyes and as he snaps out of it he turns to Gajeel: “Alright. I’ll fight you”.

He holds his hand out to the iron Dragon and waits for his reaction. Gajeel seizes the opportunity and squeezes the young man’s hand with almost all of his strength, waiting for Jonathan’s reaction. To his surprise Jonathan doesn’t seem to feel any change at all. Rather than that, he just smiles at him very friendly.

As they loosen their grip, Gajeel goes back to the bar and starts talking to the owner.

“I’m really glad to see you again, Wendy”, says Jonathan.

“Likewise”, she responds.

“How was your meeting with the council?”, she continues.

His friendly smile disappears almost instantly. The man’s green eyes look down on the ground. His entire posture changes and his all so friendly and happy behaviour swaps to one filled with sadness and frustration.

“Not good, to be completely honest...”, he answers rubbing his neck with his hand, avoiding any kind of eye contact.

Wendy slowly takes his hand and looks him dead in the eye: “You don’t have to talk about it, if you don’t want to”.

Both of them look their eyes into one another and slowly draw closer to each other. Suddenly Jonathan turns away with a little blush on his cheeks. As Wendy realizes what she was doing, she turns away immediately with a very red face.

Gajeel walks up to them and says annoyed: “Alright, I got the reward. Now let’s go. I want to be home as soon as possible!”.

At their departure the local civilians wave at them and wishing them farewell.

Walking on the path back to Magnolia Gajeel steps back a little bit from Jonathan and pulls Wendy back to him, a bit further away.

“Be careful around him”, he whispers to her.

“What do you mean?”, asks Wendy him.

“The entire year I spend at the councils police force, I have never seen or heard of him”, he musters his mind quietly.

“I don’t think that he’s a bad person, Gajeel. Nor do I believe, that he’s spying on us for the council”, Wendy responds to him in the same tone, “...and I also trust him that he’s being honest to us”

“Still. I’ll keep my eye on this guy”, he tells her.

“What are you guys doing back there?”, shouts Jonathan to them.

They continue their travels and reach Magnolia after a short while.

As they enter the guilds building, Lucy and Luna great them.

“Welcome back. How was the mission?”, asks Lucy, not paying attention to Jonathan.

“It went well, we finished the job. Although I don’t know if we would be so successful, without Jonathans help”, tells her Wendy, with a smile on her face and points at Jonathan.

Jonathan only raises his hand and waves at Lucy.

“Ok now we can go at it, PUNK!”, shouts Gajeel at the top of his lungs, waiting for the Grand Wizards response.

Jonathan immediately takes of his big cloak and folds it together.

“Shall we take that outside?”, he asks politely.

“You go first”, says Gajeel.

Both of them enter the backyard of the Guild and stand a few meters away from each other. Wendy, Lucy and Luna follow them and sit down on one of the benches. A few newer members gather around them. Natsu, Gray and Laxus also take a look at the two combatants.

“Are you ready to get beaten?!”, asks Gajeel very loudly.

Jonathan stretches his arms and legs: “Ready when you are”.

And so Gajeel makes the first move. He charges at Jonathan full speed and stretches his arm out, turning it into an extendable iron pillar. Jonathan swings the fingers from his right hand up and a wall made of earth appears in front of Gajeel, blocking his attack completely. But the Iron-Dragonslayer is hardly impressed; he quickly smashes the wall into little pieces with only one punch. However Jonathan flicks his fingers and the shattered pieces of hardened earth start flying around like a swarm of hornets, which surrounds Gajeel entirely. The Iron-Dragonslayer quickly cases himself in his iron to protect himself from the flying rocks and dirt particles. With a mighty roar he penetrates this giant cloud of earth and attacks the spot where Jonathan was standing earlier, But the Grand Wizard is gone. Suddenly he stands right behind Gajeel, holding his hand out on his back. Right before he can land his punch, Gajeel turns his hands into swords and swings them around himself to fend of Jonathans attack. The brown haired mage backs of and makes some distance between the both of them.

As they continue fighting, Levy walks into the party with Mest behind her.

“What is going on?”, she asks Lucy.

“Gajeel is fighting against Jonathan”, she replies.

Mest instantly tells her with a very panicking voice: “We have to stop this right now! Gajeel is in big danger!”.

Lucy shouts out of her seat and looks at Mest very concerned.

“What?! Why is he in danger?!”, she asks confused and scared.

Mest looks at the continuing fight.

“I remember Jonathan from the time I was undercover in the magic council! He started working for them from a very young age. His Magic Power and Intellect far exceeded his age and he was even said to be better than almost all Mages from the council forces”, he tells the two girls.

Levy takes out an old newspaper and shows it to Lucy: “And look at this”.

The newspaper reads: Kingdom of Regaza-La completely destroyed over night!

“That was Jonathans doing. Five years before he joined the Magic council forces he eradicated this small military country in one night, at the age of seven”, she tells her in horror.

“That’s why they gave him the nickname Butcher of Regaza-La! He’s a cruel and monstrous being!” says Mest terrified.

Wendy looks at the three of them. Her eyes filled with conflict and fear as well as despair.

Mest adds one more thing: “at the magic council he asked them to not reveal his existence to the public or to the majority of the council forces!”.

The moment Mest finshes his sentence Levy immediately screams to stop the fight.

Neither Gajeel nor Jonathan has landed a hit on each other.

Jonathan looks at their faces. He sees the terror and fear in their eyes and figures what has happened.

“Is it true?!”, shouts Levy at him, “is it true that you killed Millions of people?!”

He puts down his guard and stands up straight.

“Answer me!”.

He closes his eyes and opens them slowly. A single word leaves his lips after that: “yes”.

Gajeel looks at them confused: “What is going on?!”, he asks angry.

“An entire kingdom, whipped out by you and you alone!”, she continues, completely ignoring her husband who is now looking at Jonathan with confused eyes.

“How could you! How do you sleep at night!”.

Jonathan only stands there and takes her shouting at him for killing men, women and children alike.

After coming closer to him she continues to insult him, making him responsible for the deaths of many. Suddenly she get’s stopped by Cana. She snaps out of her rage and looks at Cana then at Jonathan.

He’s shaking. His hands clenched into fist. His eyes looking down on the ground. His lips shaking afraid to give her an answer.

Wendy walks up to him and puts her hand on his shoulder. She looks him in the eyes and as she does, he starts stuttering

“I-I-I d-didn’t I didn’t w-want to. I didn’t. I-It was an a-accident. I didn’t m-mean to”.

She takes him into her arms and calms him down.

Levy slowly walks up to him: “I’m sorry. I didn’t think that this was such a heavy subject for you”.

He slowly starts to calm down and takes a seat on one of the benches.

“No, it’s alright. You deserve an answer”, he starts

And so he starts explaining.

I thank you all for waiting for so long for chapter 9! and a special thanks to @marumigamer for helping me with some of the errors I made while writing. she’s a really great writer herself and I recomend all of her stories!

The reason why I wasn’t uploading anything lately is because I wasn’t feeling very well. at some point I felt lost and useless. my mental and physical health was going downhill and I was hiding it from everyone because I didn’t want to bother anyone with my personal problems. However I feel better now and I should post more in the future. sorry for giving this post and that it took me so long again but I’ll try to be better then before thanks for understanding.

also I you no longer want to be tagged of if you want to be tagged tell me because I don’t know who would like to be informed when I post it

THE ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS

Hey guys!

So I have just come out of last weekend's book fest, am writing this at like 4am waiting for my sleep aids to finally kick in because I really should be going to bed now, and I thought It'd be a good time to start a blog post.

This past week has been crazy and just picking up more and more as it goes on. I've been ordering books, selling to stores(more to come on that little detail soon), signing up for signings in other states, booking meetings, and getting together more places to perform my art live. It's a work out for sure but the more I do the clouser I feel like I am to where I wanna be in life, so it's all worth a little lack of sleep. Although I have been making a commitment to sticking to a decent regemin for taking care of myself. If you read my poetry, you know I struggle with this daily, but if I wanna be at my best on stage and at signings and in my work, than it's an important step. It's also something I wanna encourage. For people not to just accept the narrative of being unhealthy and tired, if you're unhealthy and tired, strive to change that. I have so many ideas for blog posts and videos about how I've been going about doing that which I hope you'll enjoy and take something from. This post though, I wanted to talk about something that I've been asked for a lot lately, advice.

Now I knew when I started this that there would be people who looked up to me and people who want to know I did it and want to know what they can do for their dream and just wanna know more about my journey, the thing about that was just I thought all that as a little kid and I thought it'd be something that came from record deals and being rich and screaming stadiums, never did I think my self-published books and my open mic performances would draw so many people asking me for guidance through their own journey or draw so much curiosity for how I got where I am today (which for a time I thought wasn't very far). I've even been mistaken as a professional in the craft, someone with years of signings and publishing under their belt. This got me thinking, what exactly makes a professional, and what do I have to offer?

So for the people who ask me about my experience, I've pretty much been at this my whole life. It's been a constant uphill battle for me with anxiety and doubt and obstacles of all sort pushing back, but since I was a little child dressed as Hannah Montana and using letter stencils to write songs I was sure this is when I wanted. Something I need. That meant going to every free class I could find. The library funded a lot of my passion and education, with improv and acting classes, guitar lessons, computer courses, open mics, and workshops. I lived in libraries. I would read books about design and flip through adventures, I'd sit in the stacks learning about podcasts, I took photography and leadership in freshman and sophomore year of high school (for the gods' awful times I was in online school *shudders*). I still go to those classes now, the maker's space is going to help me tremendously in the next coming year. I'm so excited about it all still. For a long time with all those classes, I was still the quiet one. Even with all these teachers believing in me, I couldn't beileve in my own voice. I didn't think I could speak, and around my peers I was still weird, so I was quiet. Until JYPS workshop, that is when I was put on a stage for the first time in my teenage career. Working with the group definitely drove me to who I am now, instead of just being taught poetry, I was taught business, I was taught to stand on corners and give out flyers, to promote myself, to be confident and build connections, and I still go now. I'll be there this weekend, learning just like everyone else will be. This is where I found my voice. So as you can see, I've got experience, but I'm still trying to learn more. I don't really think I'll ever not be a student.

Knowing that, I will now give my best advice. I'm going to break it down into FAQ's because I do get a lot of questions, and most are more or less the same things.

1. How Do yoU Find Events?

I find all of my events through my mum and word of mouth. My mother started releasing books about a year before I did and she finds a lot of the events this year since most are ones she researched years prior. Other events I find through the library system and old fashioned word of mouth, it is not uncommon for people to come to my performances or see me at a signing and invite me to another somewhere else. Networking is key. Always remember to talk to people at these things as you'll never know who you'll meet. Do not be afraid to ASK "Hey can I preform here? Hey what signings are there in town? Hey Siri search local book signings?" You'll find something surely.

2. How Do You Find Inspiration?

Everywhere. My life, other books and art, music, dancing, etc. I've been dancing and gotten entire scenes in my head randomly or laying back and listening to music then I'll start replaying the song as a whole outline shows itself to me. It's really a magickal thing, being an artist. It does take practice for some to get to that level of spacey but you can always start by writing about what you know. Many scenes or emotions or characters in my books can be connected to my life in some way or another, maybe an altered moment, maybe a name I heard, maybe a character that reminds me heavily of a friend. Start with writing what you know, I will occasionally write out my thoughts like a novel when I'm trying to sort things out or I'm in a funk, find your thing.

3. How Do You Get Over Stage Fright?

You just do it. Get on stage, it's really the only way I've found to deal with it. A lot of people don't know this but I do have grand stage fright, to the point of running off the stage when I was younger actually. It still bothers me and I'm in constant management with it. If you don't get on stage you'll surely never get over it. Start small. For me going up and performing in front of people who don't know me, acting as a character who was not me, would help tremendously. Occassionally I'll still channel some more confident and emotionally showing version of myself for my performances, it's whatever works as a small step for you. Some people feel more comfortable anon like me, but others may want to start by preforming in front of people they trust and slowly work their way to strangers. Don't push yourself too far to fast, and don't worry about if you start by running off the stage, you get over it.

4. How Do You Self-Publish?

There are several ways to self-publish your books, the way I chose to go through primarily was Amazon. I put my books on their website (not signing their exclusivity contract) and then I can sell it other places. So I've also been trying to add my books to Lulu, I have previews up on Tablo and Wattpad, and I'm selling them to a local bookstore. Amazon prints my books so I do pay them to order the copies but I do not pay the same price as a normal costumer, since they are mine I only pay the cost of shipping and printing. You can find loads of other self-publishing routes with some diligent research, look around and find what's right for you, don't be afraid to ask other authors who self-publish questions at book signings, many are willing to help others.

5. What are the benefits of self publishing?

Since I self-publish my book I get to tell the story my way, without some of the hurtles trade might give me. For instance, my books are quite dark and do contain not only strong language but descriptive violence. When JK Rowling was publishing Harry Potter, Ron actually swore quite a lot, but because the publisher felt the book series would appeal so well to children, they had her change that about the character so as not to poke any parents. Prisoner Nineteen could bring a very wide audience (though I in no way compare my work to Harry Potter) but seeing as the characters are mostly quite young (the main being only fourteen) I could see it drawing in a younger crowd than would be expected for a series like it, because I published it myself, I don't have to worry about that. I market it as YA, and really leave it up to the reader (and their parents) what they feel comfortable reading. This for me is the biggest plus of self-publishing, you get no deadlines and complete creative freedom.

6. How Do You Write A Book?

I can't exactly tell you that. Everyone has a different way of writing their book, I've seen a million different writing styles and writing processes, it's really up to you how you write your book. As for finshing it, what helped me was having a clear goal and deadline in mind.

7. How Do You Balance Everything?

Chaotically. I'm definitely not going to lie and say this is all super easy. Meetings, school, art projects, volunteering, blogs, writing, signings, performances, and whatever else I have to do that week balanced on having a social life and not going crazy? It's not exactly easy. And occasionally you will probably freak out and/or cry from stress and anxiety, that does happen to me sometimes, but if it's what you want to be doing and I mean really want to be doing? Oddly enough, it doesn't feel like work a lot of the times. It feels great to be able to be doing something you actually love and want to be doing. If going a little bit crazy is a part of the process, eh, just makes for better writing and more theatrics. Did the sane man really ever make great art or great changes?

8. How Do You Get Your Stuff?

So usually this is directed towards my merch. Everything you see on my tables is customised and designed by yours truly (save for things like my lights or shell). I get an idea, I plan it out, and I then search all over the internet to find my supplies. (Honey really helps with this. Save money, create smarter.) Look on Pinterest or Tumblr or at other cons to try and think of something that fits your book.

9. How Do You Find The Courage?

Caffeine. Straight to the vein. I just get an iv drip before every apperence.

No but, really it's a lot of channeling your nerves into your work. Of deciding if this is really really really something you wanna be doing. If the answer to that is yes? You'll find your courage and strength. A support system doesn't hurt. If that can't be friends or parents, then you can find it in groups. Look around your local art scene. I'm sure somewhere there's a workshop or two, check on NaNaWrimo they do video chats, join a group on social media, find a pen pal, but nothing can really replace knowing people are rooting for you and knowing that you're working towards your dream goals.

10. How old are you?

I am eighteen years old and my birthday is June 24th, so. You're certainly not too young to do something and make decisions with your life. There is no "starting age" that's when you decide it is.

And to close, the thing that makes you a professional. I really didn't know, but a friend of mine posted online a few days ago "You are a rapper if you are rapping." This I think is true in all things. Especially in art, there is no point when you should ever stop learning, but you are what you are. If you sing, and you're serious about it, you are a singer. If you dance, and you're serious about it, you are a dancer. If you act, and you're serious about it, you are a dancer. If you write, and you're serious about it, you are a writer.

Man teachers really have such an impact on young kids and I never really thought about it until recently.

In year 2, I was in a class that was situated in those portable classrooms, and we ‘shared’ it with another class. So we’d all sit down together in the middle part (where there are blinds/massive curtains that can be pulled to separate the rooms) and the teachers would teach stuff together and then we’d separate to do just class stuff and individual work. And these teachers were like best friends and didn’t really treat young kids with the most attention. Like if we were sat down and didn’t quieten down enough they’d just start loudly talking and we’d quieten down super quickly and then have to listen to them natter between themselves (I distinctly remember them telling a story about a couple who were having a baby that was supposed to be a girl and last minute realised it was a boy and they had to return so much pink stuff idk why but i remember that story so clearly) and then they’d finish after like 3 minutes of young antsy kids sitting on the floor being bored and not doing anything and it taught us nothing??? We were given 10 seconds to completely pull ourselves in line even tho we were 7 year old kids who were energised and everything and they’d give us no time to quieten down and then start chattering and it didn’t help us at all, like at all. In comparison in the class the year after we soon learnt to quieten down a lot better because my teacher would always raise her hand and we’d see that when she was sat down that was a sign she would raise her hand soon and we had to shut up.

Also, these two teachers...i stg like children are different levels and I was at this point terrible at maths but good at english and drawing and shit so when it came to giving kids different maths exercises, they would always let the SUPER SMART kids go play online (fucking numbercruncher was good shit) and keep us on the mat as they explained what to do. Like we were 7. We were bored and they were playing GAMES and the teachers would just go “ok ___ level kids go play while we tell everyone else what to do” and so they’d go and have the volume at just enough so we could hear and they’d berate us for even looking at the monitors...like seriously? I remember one time I walked into class and saw my name on the board with other people’s and raised my hand politely (they fucking nattered as usual then started talking) and after like 5 minutes they finally said “yes what do you want?” and I asked why my name was on the board. They said “Oh, thats because you were too busy watching the computer screens earlier to pay attention to the lesson :)))) so you can’t do this super fun activity today” and yo I cried...I cried so much because I only just finished my work afterwards...I just wasn’t listening as they were explaining it because I was distracted by kids doing fun shit instead of being taught multiplication and I was so upset and I had to sit out??? While other kids got to do a counter exercise and I had to do a sheet of just maths problems.

But the thing that sticks with me is when we were learning how to write properly. And we were learning that instead of saying “This is David’s horse David Loves the horse David rides him a lot” to use he and all that, and in turn specify the target eg “This is his horse he loves him he loves to ride” (Like, who is he and who loves to ride who? Stuff like that) and this kid, Darcy, is talking about his dad and how he had a truck or something. I hear him read it aloud, he says “I have a dad who drives a truck and his name is ____” and this teacher......fucking bellows ‘WHOSE NAME? THE TRCUK’S NAME>??????” Like bitch....fucking seriously???? And from then on for a while I started writing like never using she and her and his and whatever because of this teacher, like I would always say “I went to the pond to feed the ducks. The ducks like bread, and the ducks were very happy. I was happy too because the ducks were cute” and it took me so long to get out of that habit. And another time me and my BEST FRIEND were competing to see who could finish our papers the quickest. We didn’t have the same answers (she was better at maths than me) but we both finished and sprinted up the front. The teacher turned around and saw us smiling and immediately said “YOU BOTH COPIED!!!! YOU CANT DO THAT” And i remember quietly saying “no we were just seeing who could finsh quickest” and my friend was saying that if they checked we would have diferent answers and what did my teacher do? Snatched our papers and said that next time we copied or even worked together on something she would rip our papers up and call home (and me having super strict parents I was terrified). So I never went to anyone for help and struggled silently, and my parents wondered why my grades for that semester dropped. I just didn’t ask for any help and worked solely on my own.

I still remember these two like they were just the obligatory shitty primary school teachers everyone has. Idk if they meant it but godddd they did NOTHING for me but stress me out and gave me terrible memories. I still remember their names too...

#honestly id love to see them now #personal #honestly just me ranting about bullshit

Rebekah Katline and Kol disgraced our family tonight. " barks angrily

" It won't happen again, mother. I'll deal with them " Elijah sighs

" Thank you, but Katline would cause more trouble just spit me, Elijah. I wish the others were more like you. " sighs Esther rolling her eyes Katline enters her bedroom

The Week in Anime (Christmas Edition!)

Salutations and welcome to a special edition of The Week in Anime! With my winter break starting, I’ve been able to catch up on all of the anime and now I have stuff to say about them, both good and bad (fortunately this time, it’s mostly good). Because there’s around 3-4 weeks of stuff to write about, I’m gonna revert back to my old style of TWiA for this week. That is, I’m gonna write a blurb for every show, and not give out any awards. And since most of the shows ended this week, it’s also kinda nice since I can talk about the show as a whole. Thus, there will be spoilers. That’s kinda self-explanatory, plus I usually use spoilers in my posts... but no matter, still nice to have a warning. So let’s start off this show with the usual...

The News Corner

Since it’s been a while since I had one of these posts, there’s bound to be a lot of anime news that I can talk about. Maybe important stuff like Shokugeki no Soma getting a “fourth season” in Spring, Boku no Hero Academia’s third season airing during the Spring, etc. But here’s what I think is the most important anime news of the past few weeks:

http://moetron.news/post/168065646960/back-street-girls-tv-anime-has-been-announced

Yes friends, Back Street Girls. Read the synopsis for yourself, since I don’t think I can do it justice by describing in my own words. Truly, a pinnacle in anime.

Ok seriously, this is... something. Something weird AF. But I’m not gonna lie, it got my attention. Obviously since I’m writing about it, but it did. So much so that I ended up reading the translated chapters of the manga. And I have to say... it’s not that bad. There definitely is the merit to the complaint that the three dudes have the same personality and thus would probably be better as one person, but they’re different enough that it wasn’t too much of a concern in the manga.

In its core this whole thing is a gag comedy. I don’t expect it to be deep with its topic, and neither should you whenever this show airs. Definitely gonna be an interesting show to watch when it does come out.

All righty, with that, let’s start the rankings/blurbs starting with my AOTS:

Rankings:

1 (0). Shokugeki no Soma S3 (8/10) COMPLETE

So when I heard that this show was gonna be one cour instead a standard two cour, I shared the same opinions as the thread commenters of /r/anime: “no”. But after watching the last episode, I have to say the season ended on a really good note. Soma sharing the info that Joichiro was his dad to Azami and Erina was a nice cliffhanger to the future events I don’t know much about, but heard meh things about.

Disregarding the future though, this season was miles better than the second season. It brought back the nice balance of intense cooking battles and relaxed slice-of-life moments that made the first season so fun to watch, something the second season lacked until the last few episodes with the Stagiaire Arc. The biggest issue has to be the animation, something I didn’t notice until I saw it being mentioned on discussion threads. At first I dismissed those claims, saying that all anime was like that and that people were being their circle-jerky selves. But I went back to the first season and yeah, I admit it got worse. There was a lack of action-y moments in the third season which were replaced with panning shots. Now I don’t think this is a huge issue, because let’s be honest the animation isn’t a big draw in Shokugeki: it’s the nice-looking food and the explanations about the nice-looking food. And this season delivered on those fronts, making it a super fun watch as long as I had something to eat/wasn’t hungry. Because otherwise I suffer from watching good food being made/explained while wanting said food, and that’s not fun.

Anyway, overall Shokugeki S3 gets a 8/10 from me. I would say I’m excited for the next season, but based on comments from manga readers I’m not expecting too much from the next season... though I would recommend the show if you haven’t watched it, since the first season is in my top 10 favorite anime and this season’s looking like my AOTY.

2 (+1). Just Because! (8/10) [11/12]

Mmm that’s good stuff. Most anime nowadays just are stuff that I watch and move on from. But with this show, it’s been both a really nice slice-of-life/drama/romance/kinda comedy(?) that’s brought out a lot of nostalgic and comfy moments. It’s rare for a show to get me so emotionally invested, but when it does you know something’s going right.

Since the last episode is airing next week, I don’t want to go too much into detail about the show in general yet. So I’ll just talk about this week’s episode. It reminded me a lot of the time I was applying for colleges. A painful experience, yet for some reason I felt a warm nostalgia through the whole time watching this. Plus it was a really nice set-up episode for the finale: we get Natsume passing, Komiya winning an award, and Eita maybe passing (it was kinda ambiguous). Who will win in this love triangle? Who will end up with who? Will anybody win? Why did I ask the same question three times? Find out next week in the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!

I have to give credit to Pine Jam (the studio making this): all of this is amazing when you think about how much delays the show’s been going through. It seems like every other week the episode is delayed on Amazon Strike even when it aired on time in Japan (a sign that they just finished the episode). Yet the animation hasn’t taken a nosedive in quality and it’s kept a steady consistency in all aspects. Hopefully the finale ends the show on a high note because so far it’s been a fun ride.

3 (+2). Net-juu no Susume (6/10) COMPLETE

If there’s one word to sum up this show, it’s AWKWARD. But you know what, that’s totally fine. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s that the last few episodes focused on the real life relationship of our two main characters, Moriko and Sakurai, who were some pretty awkward kids.

Before I go deeper into that, let me talk about the show as a whole. The first half of it was a nice “romance” with minimal interruptions. Towards the middle, the show faltered a bit for me with Koiwai become more of a presence and that weird gray area when Moriko and Sakurai were finding out the truth about each other and their online characters. Then we get that end with the awkward. The last episode especially, though I enjoyed how cute the whole thing was... minus the washing machine cucking (and the kids in the end to a degree).

I know that’s probably what most people were disappointed in: nothing definite happened between Moriko and Sakurai. I was a bit bothered by it too, until I realized it was probably the best ending for the two. After all, they’re two people who don’t have experience with love or people in general. Why would you expect them to suddenly confess their feelings or even straight up kiss? It’s a bit unreasonable to think that, and so the hand-holding thing at the end was a good enough confirmation that yes, they are in a relationship.

Disclaimer: I haven’t watched the 11th episode/special yet. I wanted to finish the show and write my blurb before doing so. So maybe something more might happen... though based on the MAL rating, doesn’t look like it.

If there’s one thing that did bother me, it was the number of sheer coincidences that had to happen for everything to fall into place. I mean I know it’s anime but still... it’s a bit too much. I can’t get over the fact that they met not only once, but twice in sepearte MMOs. That’s about as good a chance as me getting 5 UR cards in a single 10+1 pull in School Idol Festival. Which never happens. I think.

Anyway, overall the show was pretty nice, albeit a bit forgettable (since I’ve already forgotten a lot about it already and it hasn’t even been a week since I finshed it). 6/10, would recommend if you like a good romance.

4 (-2). Juuni Taisen (6/10) COMPLETE

“I mean it ended the way I thought it did.”

That’s if we’re talking about the battle royale aspect of the show itself. Because the actual anime didn’t end with just that, but rather spent its last episode with Nezumi’s wish, which turned out to be a pretty lackluster end to a show that in hindsight, wasn’t as great as I thought it was. Now that sounds harsh, but I had this show rated pretty highly for most of the season. Overall the show wasn’t bad, but there were some questionable decisions such as spending two episodes on the twins (whose backstories weren’t particularly interesting) and not having Rabbit’s backstory. Though I guess not having Rabbit’s backstory works with his personality. But I was curious to see why he’s like that, which is something we’ll never find out.

There were a lot of good moments in the show, though. Most of the backstories of the characters were pretty interesting, and made what sounded like a cliche battle royale into a more interesting study of characters with differing personalities and techniques battling each other. I love competitions as much as the next guy, so seeing how each warrior matched up against each other really triggered the inner sports fan in me. So much so that if I wasn’t into the competition, I probably wouldn’t have liked this show as much. Overall a solid 6/10, would recommend for those into battle royales and interesting character stories.

5 (+1). Love Live! Sunshine!! 2nd Season (6/10) [12/13]

You know at this point, I accepted that idol shows aren’t for me. Their whole focus of “the power of friendship and miracles” really isn’t my thing, and honestly it’s my fault for not realizing that sooner. Now don’t get me wrong -- I’m still very much in idol hell. Just... in different ways via the music and mobile game (which I should really stop spending money on...).

Now to the actual show critique part. Taking the above statement into account, this was probably the better Love Live Sunshine season. But as of right now, I’m putting this as the lowest ranked show in the Love Live series. Something about the number of cheesy episodes just really got to me, culminating in the penultimate episode with the most cheese so far in Love Live.

Okay, I’m gonna stop talking about cheese and actually use real words. There were some really great episodes, which happened to be the character-focused episodes. My favorite definitely is the YohaRiko episode with the dog, with a close second being the Dia episode. Episodes like those still have good cheesiness to them, but the cheese is character-based and more relatable instead of “let’s shine” and other buzzwords. Plus it adds good depth to the characters: Dia went from my second-worst girl to right in the middle of the pack. Riko went to the top 3, and Yoshiko/Yohane, well she was already #1.

Speaking of characters, there were definitely a few that got shafted hard in terms of screentime and character development. You is definitely an example: even though the later episodes have focused on her relationship with Chika, I still wouldn’t know much about her if I didn’t read her profile-stuff on the wiki (I was bored okay). Like the fact she’s a Olympic-level high diver. Did you know that? I did. Maru’s another example of this, though that’s more getting reduced to memes which honestly a lot of characters in LL have been prone to. I do have to give props for developing the third-years though, because I can now see Mari as more than just “Shiny” and “It’s Joke”. We can all agree though: Chika least best girl. Everything the girl says is cheesy AF.

Having said all of this, if a third season were to happen (or a movie, given this season might be the last one), I’d still watch it no problem. Truly this is the power of idol hell.

We’ll see how the last episode goes, because it might just be the end of Aqours... :(

6 (+3). Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara (6/10) [12/13]

I think this is the first time a show I rated a 3 or lower rose back up to a good grade. But that’s what happens when you focus on not having your alcoholic main character be drunk, but rather have nice moments where they aren’t drunk. Because it feels cheap to me when they’re acting cutesy while drunk. Almost like it’s fake in a way. The last two episodes in particular were really nice because they were the backstory in how Chisato and Sora met, which was actually pretty cute. More episodes like that please.

7 (+1). Blend S (5/10) COMPLETE

Sigh... this was an interesting one. Let me just say this right now: the “relationship” between Dino and Maika was the one factor in ruining the show for me. Yeah, the fanservice was pretty iffy, but if the romance wasn’t a thing I would’ve enjoyed the show a lot more.

I loved the idea of different personas in a maid cafe type of thing. It reminds me a lot of my favorite channel on Youtube, Cow Chop. They play up their bits in a “role” for most videos, but in their podcasts and other miscellaneous stuff, they’re their real selves which is refreshing to see. Because their bits and roles, while funny in doses, would be horrible if it was their real personality. Which is how I feel about Blend S. If the characters’ personalities were actually their roles, the show would be annoying as heck. But because it’s just a role, it’s fun to see how different they are compared to their actual selves. How Maika unintentionally becomes sadistic. How Kaho is actually the nicest character in the show. How Mafuyu is actually the most savage character in the show. How Miu is... kinda the same actually. And how Hideri is... exactly the same.

...Oh. Never mind.

All that would’ve made this one of my favorites, but that romance though. It just really bothers me. Now I know it doesn’t bother a lot of people, and that’s fine. But I’m just not about the weird age gap. I’m not saying I hate age gaps in general, just that when the gap starts with a high school girl, it’s a bit questionable. This may sound shallow, but if Dino was a bit younger or Maika a bit older, I would be totally fine with it.

Speaking of that, having Maika be older (say 19 or 20) would make a lot of sense in the context of the show. A girl struggling to look for a job so she can study abroad: still makes sense if she’s college-aged, and relationship is ok-hands for me.

Disregarding the relationship, the characters were fun. Yes, even Hideri, though I think it really helps that the VA for the character is the same VA for Nico of Love Live fame. Really got the obnoxious idol character down pat, plus her deeper male voice was really well done. Sasuga Nico.

One last thing: the OP is pretty bomb. Yes, I know how meme’d the first few seconds of it got, but watch the rest of the opening. It’s very fun, reminiscent of the Working OPs (which this show shares some similarities with in other areas).

So with all this said, 5/10 would maybe recommend if you like moe shows. Also if you can disregard the Dino/Maika thing, which I see a lot of people are anyways... SMILE

SWEET

SISTER

SADISTIC

SURPRISE

SERVICE

WE ARE STILE

(expected the meme? Pls)

8 (-1). Animegataris (4/10) COMPLETE

So... what the actual baloney did I watch? Seriously, that went off the rails after a certain point, that point being the festival arc. I have so many questions that were left unanswered and just brushed under the rug with the explanation that “the anime world and real world are being combined”. Like... really?

Confusion aside, the show’s only nice aspect was the meta with its sick anime references, both with the industry and the fandom. A modern version of Genshiken in a way. The “namedrops” were pretty fun and the explanations for some of the industry norms were the best parts of the show for me. Unfortunately, that all went downhill after the first half of the season as the show went full meta and went towards the “combining worlds” plotline that just ended up confusing me. Though I do admit the finale of the show was nice, albeit a bit lackluster compared to the WTF-levels of the few episodes before it.

But just because a show is meta doesn’t mean it’s good. At the end of the day, this show just crammed references and meta without much consideration for the characters or the story, which were both somewhat underdeveloped.

Off topic: one thing that really bothered me was the whole thing with Yui fanservice right before the OP for the first nine episodes (which continued even towards the last scene of the show. So I was right that something would happen with that. It’s just that the thing was just an OP with only Yui (Just Yui). Now that would be fine if she had something to do with the events of that episode, but she didn’t. So... WHY. WHY DID THEY DO THAT. SERIOUSLY. I’M SO CONFUSED AND I’M SCREAMING NOW SEND HELP.

That’s basically how Animegataris made me feel during its latter half. The “wao how META” doesn’t work for me in this case, and so I leave it with an unsavory rating and a “don’t watch this unless you like sick anime references and meta AF plot.” 4/10.

So before we end, I know I said no awards, but there is a little one I wanted to mention:

The “Red Flags” On Hold Show of the Week: Pingu in the City

It’s not that the show itself is bad. But... I don’t know, I don’t really have the motivation to watch the show. That’s usually how these shows end up on hold: I lose motivation. Maybe I’ll watch it again sometime in the future. Maybe not. Maybe I get to the 100 other shows on my PTW list.

And that’s all for this week! Thanks for reading this extra-long post! Hopefully I’ll get my “What I’m Watching” post out soon: I’m around 40% done with it so far. Anyway, thanks again, and I’ll see you in the next post!
