#shiratori reiko

Taking a break from screenshoting because omigod I found something in here that I really wanna watch.

It's a J-drama for "Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu!" a goofy 80's shoujo manga about a rich girl trying to reconnect in college with a guy she turned down in high school because her pride got in the way. And she's an absolute mess.

You guys know much I love terrible heroines being socially awkward.

There was apparently a 90's anime ova that I now need to track down too. What a find.

I am THE Shiratori Reiko! (1990)

Shin Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu![新・白鳥麗子でございます!]

[sylvarantii]

My first thought about this movie was, "Isn't this going to basically be like that one episode where Conan needs to find a person with "perfect pitch" to figure out that phone number to the boss of the Black Organization?"

And then, I found out rather quickly that no, this was not like that all, actually.

Detective Conan Movie 12: Full Score of Fear isn't the most impressive of the lineup, but I think one of its strongest elements is that it has a damn good original character.

I really loved Reiko Akiba from her personality to her design. It's to a point where I'm sorely disappointed they didn't have a means of really having her in the series like they've done with a lot of the detective character like Shiratori and Ayanokoji. (But they are inspectors, so it makes sense they'd be easier to fit into the series)

She has this sort of cold exterior that you find is more of a front for the care she has for other people and I've always had a soft spot for women characters like that.

And when she sees Amazing Grace (which is admittedly a song I grew up to deeply love from a young age) it's just the most beautiful thing.

I think music lovers will really have the most appreciation for this movie though. Especially if you're fond of classical music. I think this movie might even possibly have the best score/soundtrack of all of the others, but I have yet to sit down and listen to all of them, so I won't say that for certain.

The plot itself however kind of was an okay movie, I guess? I wouldn't consider it bad by any means, just not really my cup of tea. I also found the whole motives thing very confusing even when it was explained in simpler terms. A second watch might clear it up, but it just feels like it was tad overcomplicated compared to what I'm used to for cases in this series.

I guess by the ending it does clear things up a lot better at least, but I don't know. I think the best way to sum this movie up is I feel 50/50 about it. 50% liked it while the other 50% I just wasn't really into it.

But this is still going to make the ratings so hard because I can't really find myself placing this too high or too low.

I sadly think I'm going to have to be a little harsh on this one which hurts because I don't think it's a bad movie, it's just once again, there were so many others that really did a lot more for me and were more enjoyable.

1.) The Fourteenth Target (2nd Movie)

2.) The Time Bombed Skyscraper (1st Movie)

3.) Magician of the Silver Sky (8th Movie)

4.) Captured in Her Eyes (4th Movie)

5.) Crossroad in the Ancient Capital (7th Movie)

6.) The Phantom of Baker Street (6th Movie)

7.) Countdown to Heaven (5th Movie)

8.) Strategy Above the Depths (9th Movie)

9.) The Private Eyes' Requiem (10th Movie)

10.) Full Score of Fear (12th Movie)

11.) The Wizard of the Last Century (3rd Movie)

12.) Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure (11th Movie)

So with a heavy heart, I'm going to have to put it at 3rd to last place. I was even considering putting it under Wizard, but I think this one was more enjoyable to be fair.

I swear these ratings get harder the more of these movies I watch though. But in a way, maybe that's not a bad thing. I'd rather consider most of these a good watch in some way than come away absolutely detesting anything.

Anyway, next is Raven Chaser and funny enough, the episodes I was watching last year had this advertised a lot. I really want to be excited about this one because it feels like it'll be a really fun watch, but it's also one of those cases where I don't want to get my hopes up too high for fear of REALLY being disappointed.

I guess we'll see how it goes.

Reiko is faking being pregnant and she just had to pick the MOST CURSED maternity outfit.

Shiratori Reiko de Gozaimasu! episode 1

[tenebraevesper]

Digimon Tamers: Cyber Battles, Entry 14: Hanakotoba

Chapter Preview/Link To Full Chapter Below

''Kyubimon, now!'' Reiko ordered, with Kuybimon running up to the samurai-looking Digimon they had been fighting, Musyamon.

''Dragon Wheel!'' Kyubimon enveloped herself in blue flames, unleashing a fireball at Musyamon.

''Shiratori-maru!'' Musyamon cut through the flames with his sword and charged at Kyubimon. Reiko gritted her teeth in frustration. While Kyubimon and Musyamon were both Champion Level Digimon, Musyamon still had advantage over Kyubimon due to his Virus Attribute. However, Kyubimon wasn't alone in this fight.

''Card Scan! High Speed Plug-In H!'' Reiko used a Digi-Card, increasing Kyubimon's speed. The nine-tailed mythical fox Digimon dodged Musyamon's attack, with Reiko following up with another card, ''Card Scan! Garurumon, Fox Fire!''

Kyubimon absorbed the data from the Digi-Card, building up energy for the attack. Musyamon lunged at her, but she was faster.

''Fox Fire!'' Kyubimon unleashed a burst of blue fire at Musyamon at point blank range, burning the other Digimon into nothing but data particles, which she then absorbed.

''That was a close call,'' Reiko commented, glancing at the time on her smartphone. A look of panic set on her expression. ''Oh no, I'm late!''

''Get on my back. We'll be faster that way,'' Kyubimon told her as the digital field around them faded away. Reiko was hesitant for a moment, but then nodded and climbed on Kyubimon's back.

''This is so annoying. My grandma is going to kill me if I don't return as soon as possible,'' Reiko muttered under her breath. Kyubimon's ears twitched as she heard that, but she didn't respond.

During the past few days, wild Digimon had started appearing in the Real World, mostly close to the area where Reiko lived. This meant that she was usually the one who'd have to deal with the Digimon, affecting her ikebana lessons and making her late. It also didn't help that she had to still work on her piece for the exhibition the day after tomorrow, putting her under a lot of pressure. Sure, she could've asked the other Tamers for help, but she had figured that it was too much of a hassle and that she and Renamon could handle them easily.

''I'm sure Michi will understand that this was an emergency,'' Kyubimon said, trying to comfort Reiko.

''I wouldn't be so sure,'' Reiko replied as Kyubimon leapt over a wall, landing in the back garden belonging to the Tsukiya household. Reiko quickly jumped off Kyubimon's back and sat down on the back patio, taking her sneakers off and running in her socks into the house to change into her kimono for the lesson. However, just as she opened the slide door, she froze, seeing Michi standing right in front of her. ''G-Grandma…''

''You are late… Again!'' Michi glared at her granddaughter. Reiko stared back at her grandmother, feeling nervous.

''I'm sorry, I was caught up in a situation,'' she replied.

''You got caught up in a situation you shouldn't have even cared about,'' Michi replied. ''Instead of attending your lessons, you're doing God knows what. Have you even designed a piece of the exhibition?''

Reiko lowered her head, remaining silent. Michi's eyes narrowed.

''I see,'' she muttered, closing her eyes and breathing in. She then opened her eyes, glaring at her granddaughter. ''That's the last straw. From now on, you are forbidden from attending any of your activities not related to your lessons or school.''

''What?'' Reiko was stunned.
