#code geass season 2 episode 7

[alicent-vi-britannia]

All the times Kallen blushed

The blush in Code Geass is quite subtle, but it's still visible and without fear of being wrong, Karen-chan is the character who has blushed the most in the series. These are all the moments that I remember when she blushed. Did I miss any? Can you tell me. From left to right: episodes 3, 5, 6, 7, 18 of the first season; episodes 2, 3, 5, 9 twice, the Picture Drama 7.19 (it's a flashback to something that happened at some point in the first season) and the 13th episode of the first season. Blushed 6 times by daddy Lelouch, 1 time by Suzaku, 1 time by Shirley and her wild imagination, 1 time by C.C., 1 time by Xingke and the eunuchs, 1 time by the boys from Ashford Academy, and 1 time by the student council (and she, in turn, made the boys on the student council blush). Kallen blushing is a mod! :3

A brief recommendation of anime openings

The opening and closing theme songs play such an important role as they identify the hallmark of an anime and also move many anime watchers.

I’ll present ten openings that I consider valuable in my memory (not ranked in order of enjoyment)

10. Again - Yui 

OP 1 Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

I started watching FMAB thanks to my brother who listened to ‘Again’ every day for months. The music and the lyrics make you feel perfectly the ambitions and goals of the brothers Edward and Alphonse.

9. Crossing Field - LiSA 

OP 1 Sword Art Online

To be fair, I didn’t finish watching SAO, but if I managed to see some of its episodes it was for the mere fact that Crossing Field was the opening. It's the kind of song that makes you feel like you're the protagonist.

8. Blue Bird - Ikimonogakari 

OP 3 Naruto Shippuden

I haven't been able to finish Naruto yet. Still, the reason I started watching it was Blue Bird. This theme song is a perfect balance between the story and the feeling they seek to convey to the viewer.

7. SHIVER - the GazettE

OP1 S2 Kuroshitsuji

It’s the setting of the anime itself that makes everything so attractive, but the openings play an important role in each season as well, since they play harmonically with the gothic elements so typical of this series.

6. Bye Bye Yesterday - 3 Nen E Gumi Uta Tan 

OP2 S2 Assassination Classroom

After accompanying class 3-E for two seasons, it's time to say goodbye. I don't think there’s an opening that manages to encompass everything lived by the characters in such a nostalgic but entertaining way as in this case. Even on my own graduation day I couldn't help but remember it, it's quite memorable.

5. COLORS - FLOW

OP1 Code Geass

COLORS as the opening theme for an anime with such dramatic themes could’ve been a success because it totally misleads the viewer about the tragedies that will occur later in the plot. This song is remembered for the nostalgia that takes us back to the first episodes of Lelouch’s story.

4. PAPERMOON - Tommy heavenly6

OP2 Soul Eater

My favorite Soul Eater opening that also defines one of my favorite arcs. This arc introduces Chrona and covers her growing bond with Maka. The strengthening of the bond of the iconic duos that are presented from the beginning is related to the feeling of fidelity that the song shows in its lyrics.

3. Hyadain no Kakakata Kataomoi-C - Hyadain

OP1 Nichijou

Every time I need a burst of energy and good vibes I watch Nichijou.This specific song really characterizes the mix of nonsense and jokes meticulously embedded in the anime, as well as being a very catchy song. 

2. Kamisama Hajimemashita - Hanae

OP1 Kamisama Hajimemashita

If I ever have kids I'll be the kind of mom who gets excited when she hears the Candy Candy opening theme, but with Kamisama Hajimemashita. For some reason this song has helped me find a path to femininity. It's refreshing and tender, it gives me good memories of when I was little.

1. HighSchool - in NO hurry to shout 

OP1 Fukumenkei Noise

Fukumenkei Noise is a music anime and its opening consists of one of the main songs of the series. When the band in which the plot revolves changes its vocalist, the person who sings the opening changes to Nino, the protagonist of the story. It’s a detail that makes a big difference for the understanding of the plot that I personally like a lot.

My Future Charasuke x Menma Series

Part 13

Charasuke is reminiscing about the past and tells Sai something that Menma once said.

Charasuke: A long time ago. Sakura, Menma and I talked about something. We wondered what happiness would look like if we could give it a physical form. If I’m not mistaken. I think it was Menma who said that the shape of happiness might resemble glass. His reasoning made sense. He said that even though you don’t usually notice it. It’s still definitely there. You merely have to change your point of view slightly. And then that glass will sparkle and reflect the light. I doubt that anything else could argue it’s own existence more eloquently.

Weekly Anime Binge Review

Darwin's Game Winter 2020 - 11 Episodes This was a show I watched the first episode when it came out but frankly the intro just didn't hook me so I dropped it. The difference from episode 1 and 2 is fucking ridiculous. The show gets so much more interesting with the introduction of events and more players. I think the obvious necessary intro to the world/game is just rough but makes the rest much more interesting in contrast. Surprisingly I think the second season of this has the potential to be significantly better - I say this because of the addition of new characters and the change in values for the main character. reminds me of Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. No second season is confirmed but I can only hope. Due to the rough start - 7/10 The Unlimited- Hyoubu Kyousuke Winter 2013 - 12 Episodes I don't think it's ever taken me this long to finish a 12 episode season. Now this is quite an old one - seeing as it's been 8 years. The style is identical to Code Geass and the idea behind it is quite modern - the disparity between espers and normals. Overall a decent show but very mid in my books 6/10 Interspecies Reviewer Disclaimer - this show is for 18+ Winter 2020 - 12 Episodes I- ok this was a recommendation from a friend I had no idea. Don't watch this shit in public - She mentioned it was ecchi but like, this is straight porn for some parts. I completely understand why it was removed from funimation - no clue how they allowed it on there in the first place. so uh, moving forward. I like the concept, very fun to watch, tho I have no interest in large anime tiddies, they feel unnecessarily large for 95% of this show. The super pretty, well done intermission art cracks me up. In the end this was fun to watch and neat to see all the different species tho not something you can just offhandedly recommend or talk about - ironically this will be my review and rating: 7/10

Next Friday: Vivy (Finish) Heaven's Design Team Kyousougiga

[kazamastar]

Welcome to 2021

Ver. 2.1 - Ok. February but still, here we are. “Behold it’s me” as Logic would say. [...] I’m sorry I’m a bit shook because I started to write at 10:01AM, and it’s precisely 12:07AM, I was progressing pretty well in the process of writting and then I made a bad move and lost everything I wrote. I’m kinda mad. Really, I was this 👌 close to give up on writting it, and you can notice that the pixels are touching. But I guess the “I said I’d do it, so I’m going to do it” mentality is taking me places, once again. Even if I have to start again (that's called mental strength, take notes). And I said I’d write it baked so here I am, baked and hella motivated to do it. So, W shouldn’t help me reminding me what I wrote in the first version but nevermind. So I guess I'll put the most things I remember. I can tell there were good ideas ! I'll take this occasion to remind everyone the concept of these posts but first we will recap numbers of this year (well, more or less accurate for 2020 as I'm writting one month late) (and I'll fucking stop writting on the tumblr site and switch to OpenOffice so my next words are not lost again). 637 Nakamas (thank y'all for being here, even if I post 12847 times in a row. You're the best). 3609 posts and 23 376 likes. (109 drafts : lol it's less than a few weeks ago)

Pic : Plot twist 2. No more smile, but the return of the bowtie. (aka « The 4 days late suit » aka « I'm old enough to know better »)

The choice of this picture was so simple. Or maybe I should have chosen the one with the mustache only I took during lockdown ? Ahah. But … this picture could almost resume the year on its own. If I'd describe it in depth and explain the context, I could review 70% of the events that happened this year (and I think I'll go for that later, interesting exercise).

So. First let me explain the goal of these sums up. Each « Welcome to XXXX » is a resume, a sum up of the year XXXX-1. I write these for me, it's a funny way to keep track of all these years. I try to describe more or less precisely what happened during the year. I allow myself to be more or less precise because I firstly write these for me. And sometimes these posts tend to be long. Especially this one. It's gonna be sooo long. Like, idk maybe highlight this line and take a few seconds to scroll down and see how looooong it is. Kinda discouraging isn't it ? Lucky you it won't go on forever though as today, as I'm writting that it's 12:23PM and I'll have to be gone at 4 or 5PM. But I think contraints make art, even if I don't like to write under any kind of pressure. But I'm determined to do it in one take. So in these posts I also write about the TV Shows, manga, anime, movies I've seen/read. Even books, as I finally had the chance to read « Le Petit Prince » this year. We all know we had time this year, don't we ? And at the end, I post a 12 songs playlist (+ songs that I discovered this year that also are going to remind me of the year). We can roughly say it's « 1 song/1 month » but it's not always true. These songs are songs I like a lot, like really (but not necessarily my favorite) but above all, they remind me of the year I'm resuming (it can also be older songs). I also post my top 3 albums of the year. I'm thinking also of detailing my choices of playlist. Maybe not explaining all of them but a few. [12:36PM. And I'm already hungry.] On the 1st try I remember I talked about the TV shows I saw. I forgot to mention it but I write in English for a few reasons. First is : it helps me exercising my English. For me, it's the most beautiful langage to talk and it's a good occasion to do so. And then I actually enjoy writting in English. And it prevents unwanted people who don't master English to read all that (as it is pretty intimate). But joke's on me, I'm conscious the people I'd like to keep away from reading this all master English, and even better than me for some of them. (It surely is the case for 27 at least, even though we all know she still won't read this lol). Yes, I never drop names in these sum ups. Or at least, some names are blacklisted. I always chose a number to nominate them they would normally recognize themselves. So, talking about English, I've seen « Emily in Paris » on Netflix. It may surprize you but I'm very interested in dubbing. French dubbing is amazing. For example I bought « Spiderman » on PS4 this year and the french voice is the same voice actor as in the « Amazing Spider-Man » (yes the one with Andrew Garfield). (UNPOPULAR OPINION : Andrew Garfield actually is the best spiderman. Or at least the one I prefer and by far). Emily in Paris is funny because I watched it in English and it kinda disturbed me that it took place in Paris but everybody spoke English. On the other hand, if you watch it in French, langages people are talking become logical (French people speak french) but you'll have to deal with the DEADLY ANNOYING French voice of Emily. And her accent. I think I just watched 1 or 2 episodes like that, I couldn't take more ?. If you have time you should take 5 seconds to listen to what I'm talking about. But it was quite a good show. It was so fun to see these streets I've been visiting for so long in a Netflix show. By the way, I think it's easy to say that I'm missing Paris so much. But not only for the tourism, but most and foremost for the competitions. Before being a tourist I was a competitor there. So, I'm missing Paris but I'm also missing karate competitions. And also just karate. I haven't stepped on a tatami for 3 weeks and it still seems like it won't get better, and we all know why. I'm curious if I could talk about this year without mentioning a very famous virus but I think it's just impossible. But this virus gave me a lot of time in March and April. Maybe less in November tho. I could finally finish The Walking Dead, which last seasons were surprisingly good. And it was so fun to watch the reactions of people on Youtube [#]. Talking about karate competitions, I also watched Cobra Kai ! What an amazing job they did there. Adding more depth to the first movie, it's funny to change perspective and see that the Daniel we were rooting for wasn't that much of a « perfect good guy » we saw (I'm not talking about the kick in the face etc). It's also funny to notice I kinda went fro Daniel to Johnny lol. But having a Netflix show talking about martial arts and value they teach to their students ? It was perfect, even more when you see that some of my students also saw it so when we were training I was refering to it they almost all got it. And it's also funny to see that it's not as Manichean as the 1st movie was. It's a 9/10 for me. If I read the last sum up right, I said : « This year 2020 I really need to watch Kimetsu no yaiba, Jojo, Violet evergarden, Gintama and i have to keep ready 7 deadly sins. » So : Kimetsu no Yaiba was dope. The anime was beautiful and the manga was very entertaining. Not a top tier manga but definitively a good one. Jojo's anime was cool but too long. I stopped after season 2 or 3 I guess ? Violet Evergarden was TRASH (and very bad for a date, if you ask me) and I didn't take time to explore the 2 others. I also saw : Assassination classroom (5/10, i couldn't finish it so i skipped directly to the last episode, was as moving as people said), Validé (8/10, with an insane final episode), No Game No Life (8,5/10, i loved it), Freaks and Geeks (7,5 but i didn't finish it, I really like the old school vibe), Code geass (7/10, great anime and great opening). I finally discovered Community and it was worth it. What a funny show. And what a pleasure to see Mr Donald Glover on screen. Makes me think that I need to watch Atlanta again. The problem with Community is the last seasons broke the 4th wall too much for me, it became painful to watch. But the 3 or 4 seasons are crazy. Another show that was even more funny : IT Crowd. I finally had the chance to see the episode of « I came here to drink milk and kick ass, and I just finished my milk ». This show is a 9,25/10. Grand Army was also a great show of 2020. Dom is an amazing character (but I already said it). Kengan Ashura was also so cool ! I think it's what Baki would have liked to become. This year I also started to watch « American horror Story » again (alone and not alone). These last seasons were awesome. I also converted Elodi to «my hero academia », it was so cool to share that. Other things I saw : SAO S4 (AMAZING, SO BEAUTIFUL), Erased, SNK Last season) ; The Mandalorian, 24's 9th season.« Queen's gambit » have been one of the greatest show I've seen this year. And I really want to say that I played chess before the show came out (add me on Lichess if you want to play with me. Same username. I'm not strong -about 1000 ELO I guess- but I'm always happy to play and learn). If you want a precise idea of my level, on the chess.com app, I can beat Emir 🇹🇷 (1000 ELO) often but I didn't win once against Sven 🇸🇰 (who is ~1100 ELO). I'm so happy talking about all these lengthen the post even more. Kinda satisfying. But I could also talk about Tekken and chess this year. I think I have a thing with dueling sports. I'm a Karate competitor, I love Tekken and I like chess. I guess someone has something to prove haha. But come on, chess is incredible. For the 1st lockdown, I was just playing (not alone) but I wanted to make progress just by practicing. And that's how I got BB 5 or 7 (yes, it means Beat By = my number of loss in a row). But at the end of the 2nd lockdown I finally allowed myself to study a little more, thanks to Youtube (once again). This is SO INTERESTING. Like the strategies, the top players. French content creators are fun but I like american ones more. Eric Rosen is my favourite. He's always calm, he often finds solutions. GothamChess is also very entertaining. You can say by how he talks he has been a teacher. He's great. So, once again on some shonen shit, I started studying more. Mid December, a kid beat me 2 times in a row. He's a smart kid, I like him. He didn't brag or anything. And then, during Christmas Holidays I spent 2 or 3 hours a day watching chess videos. I guess he hasn't been able to beat me since then haha. By the way I should play with him later on today. Playing chess is a way for me to make sure my brain doesn't let me down, like gym for the brain. At least, it's what I thought when I started but I quickly discovered that it's a game of patterns recognizing, so memory is really challenged here. I mean, in the middlegame you have to be smart to get by but at the beginning and ending … you have to know your openings. I have also thought of joining a club but I don't know if chess communities are benevolent. I also noticed that high ranked players seem to have strong personalities. And then for Tekken (yes, 3 years and a half later I'm still on this game) I'm still making progress. In March, someone made me want to play Heihachi. What a funny character. Not top tier, but fun. Leroy Smith is also fun to play. There was no offline tournament but I won one, the 1st organized by Tekken Toulouse and finished 5th at the second. It's funny to live that level of stress straight from my bed. Usually, that kind of stress making my whole body trembling is usually found nearby tatamis of Karate competitons. (Yes, these Tekken tournaments make me stressful and that's the reason I can't play Jin in tournaments). But Eddy is still a sure value. Still progressing in movement, and whiff punishing. Mishimas are getting more consistent on electrics but it's not perfect. By the way, if you love fighting games and Bruce Lee, there's a video you need to see (whoever you are) : [#]. If you're really interested in these topics, you should appreciate this video as much as I did [2:10 PM. I have eaten, but now I have the feeling that I'm late.] Btw I don't skip line to add some « length » effect. Once again I'm sorry if making it until here was painful to read, but I need to make this paragraph the least attractive I can. This line I'm writting is almost on the 3rd page of OpenOffice. And I try to avoid using emojis, so there's just text. Tout dans le fond, pas de forme. Also, congratulations for making it until here, you must be very motivated. I'm writting slowly because it's the 1st time I write this by daytime, and I swear at the begining people were harassing me ahah. It's fun because the sum up of 2019 was so short. Just with its form, you can tell how 2019 have been peaceful. I don't remember if I talked about it already but a disaster could have happened in September/October 2019. But karate kept my mind busy so the worst have been avoided. Time spent on the tatamis kept me away from overthinking about my problems. And that was a good strategy indeed. Because in 2020 it wasn't the same. If we count right. Dojos were opened in January, February, 1st half of march, reopened in September and october, closed on november and opened in December (Mon Dieu quel … CASSE-TEX hahaha merci c'est tout pour moi). It was a weird karate year. Today is the 1 year anniversary of my last competition. During the 1st lockdown, I had litteraly no desire to train. Some of you know why. But let's talk a bit more about COVID and lockdowns. The most important thing is that I didn't spent the 1st lonely. This was the most challenging time of my life, but I can say that I made it thanks to 0808 so I'm eternally grateful for that. So, if we recap months by months : January was a funny month. One thing that I thought a miracle happened (until I found out months later what a real miracle was). I also almost went into a brawl. I guess this weird ass month set the tone for the 11 months to follow. February … was one of the calmest month. I had an awesome dojo session in Balma with 0808 in February. I think there were a lot of beautiful sunsets this month. Guess our weather power was at its peak. These 3 1st months of 2020 had a lot of trainings, even if I was injured due to kumite. March and April are kinda the same for me. I won't talking long about these but I'd simply say that I'm glad that I hadn't to write to 27. So, the Miracle happened by mid April. Mid april to mid may, it was cool. We were at home but … the weather was nice, I was doing sport everyday (but no real karate trainings) and I could keep this rythm of exercising until … Half July, which is good. It's the first time in my life I'm that consistent in doing sports at home. From mid may, I started to train with Coach O. on a weekly basis. It was incredible. These days were still bliss in my mind. I was there, no « real problems » in mind, I wasn't alone, I was making progress physically … It was really great. And from mi may to end of July, it kept getting better.Indeed, I fell in love again in January and it was getting stronger by the months. It's been a while I haven't fell this hard for someone. But she gave it back to me nicely. And then … Mala suerte 3.0. This point of the sum up is funny because I do remember when I talked about mala suerte in the other sum ups. I do realize how it's always the same thing when I write those : « 1st part of the year is cool, then not cool, then cool again but in a weird way because I have insane difficulties to repair broken parts of me » but hey. This time it's not my fault. It makes me realize how cyclic all this is. So, August, September and October have been terrible and chaotic months. A level of sadness rarely reached until there. Maybe comparable to September 2018. A high level of anger also. But still, with rare occasions to train, so no occasions to let go off steam. In fact, let's talk a bit about this anger. I've always took a lot of pride in the fact that I could most of the time remain calm in a lot of situations. Plus, being patient isn't something natural but … I learned to be through the years. I was so surprised to notice how angry I became … It simply wasn't me. But the reason is simple : I really think karate brings me balance in life, on a lot of levels (and it concerns me a lot for when I'll stop competing one day …). But I realized it so I'm working on it. In 2020, I led a lot of fights, sometimes I won and often I lost, but I also avoided a lot of them. One of the reasons I think I'm not ready to be a good partner is first I think I'm too angry. I don't think I could be mean to my partner but … I think I could be annoying to deal with. But mainly, I'm not ready to better myself now. To find the good partner, you need to become a good partner first, and this is precisely what I'm not ready to become. Despite being not perfect, I'm fine that way and I know how far from perfect I'm right now. But nevermind. This is the kind of state of mind you can't afford when you're in a relationship. I'm not saying you need to change to fit your partner's ideals. But if you notice something's wrong in your behaviour/habits and don't want to correct it, you might be a bad partner (but I could be wrong, I'm not a couple therapist lol).

Oh. And that's the moment I can describe my photo to tell the story differently. So this shot was taken precisely on Sunday, 4th of October. 1302 got confirmed so we had to go to the Temple du Salin. I went there with my father and he decided to rock a bowtie so I wanted to match him. It was so fun. That was the first time we stepped in a church after « all these events ». It was a strong moment for me. So, this picture (taken by me, thank you tripod) was taken 4 days after I « took a gamble ». I took a lot of gambles this year. One memorable gamble that lead to beautiful pictures of Toulouse was on August 27th (lol). This was after our breakup. I gave her an adress and an hour, and I hopped she would come. She never came so this was a lost gamble. (So I had a great time watching « Back to the future » outdoors, on a big movie screen, but I was alone). But this time was different. I did suppose she would be at one place on a certain day at the end of September. And I gambled right because she was there. And even if the context was so particular, I can tell we had a great time. I was so ready that I put on my best white shirt, because I knew she kinda liked it. I was there to win her back but I simply failed. Guess the shirt wasn't enough. So it was funny to wear the full suit 4 days later, I was like « Dude, nice effort but it's too late  lol» (plus the Temple du Salin is on the other side of the closest bridge from her home) but I still hopped to cross her road on that day. Oh and as we're analyzing this picture, I really like the bokeh on the autmun-colored leaves. I had the luck to have a very sweet light when I took these pictures. And the post processing was really funny. I have a lot of versions of this picture indeed. But all these colors in the background always make me think of a quote I love :  « Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go » and this quote is so damn right. I discovered this year that I have difficulties to let things go. The thing is I hate injustice. I hate to see things that litteraly belong to me, things I deserve, simply run away from me. Sometimes I'm telling myself it's just my karma making me pay for all the شيطان I've done in the past. But other times I just try to convince myself to let go. It's been the 2nd most challenging thing this year. These levels of depression have never been reached before. But still, here I am. But not stronger than before. I had this conversation a few weeks ago about « what doesn't kill you makes you stronger ». To support this idea, some people might evoke the principle of « Kintsugi » as an example. But I strongly disagree about the first statement. I'm not a goddamn bowl. I take the example of my lower belly scar : it didn't kill me but it didn't get stronger either. That's the exact opposite indeed. Sometimes it still hurts even though it's been done 12 years ago (the last time it hurt was this night, almost stopping me from finding sleep). It's a personal opinion but what didn't kill me made me weaker. And I'm not just talking about physical injuries. Losing the ability to trust after all these events isn't what I'd call « getting stronger », even though « I didn't do anything wrong ». That's an expensive price. Bref. I think you can overcompensate with something else but the damaged parts may stay weak after. [3:03 PM. So I have about 1 hour to finish it. Easy.] There's one thing I wanted to talk about in this sum up, related to the fact of « being strong ». I read Blach again (you can tell by my december posts) and I started with the lost agent arc, followed by the TYBW arc. There's 2 things about it : its poetry, through the words and the drawings will always amaze me (it amazed me even if it’s the 2nd time I’me reading it), and the 2nd thing : I love how Ichigo become stronger. He lost his Shinigami powers but then found his Fullbring powers. And that is very important because he becomes strong again, but it's a different kind of strong and I LOVE THIS. It's like in real life. I was very strong in June 2012 (videos as proof), but it's not the same strong as in July 2017 or April/November 2018. June and July 2020 have been a different kind of strong. Not that I gained 10 kgs in 2 months (unfortunately) but I was exercising daily. I was getting my body ready for the supposed heavenly month of August that was awaiting me (us). Unfortunately there was no videos of karate at this period (but I made some in september!) but I was feeling great physically. In fact. This May/June/July 2020 period could be considered as “bliss” for me. Of course there was some background problems but ... Mentally I was getting back on my feet, I was deeply in love, physically pretty feeling myself. Plus on the 1st half of July i could go back to the tatamis ... I swear this level of peace and life appreciation have rarely been reached before. Well, this concept of getting stronger differently is almost obsessing me for a simple reason : I'm feeling like I'm getting older. 27 is a weird age for competing in karate. If I look back, I realize I'm older than William when he stopped (it's his birthday tomorrow!!). Also older than Zak, Teddy and so on. I guess I'll never be physically like 10 or 5 years ago but I'm really asking myself if I can be better. But as seen as the pains I go through after the trainings … It's going to be complicated. Plus I did my body wrong this year. There was pain in mars, april, august, september, october, november and december. I tried a lot of things to make it go. I tried to smoke it, i tried to sleep it, i tried to drink it also. I tried to fuck it of course but none of these things worked. But can we consider I won if only my cock still works ? Compared to 2018 : yes it is a win. And at least when I'm with someone, that makes less time crying and overthinking shit. Anyway, I also tried to smoke it really hard. And that's an habit I'll have trouble to let go but nvmd. Still, one of my 2021 resolutions is to smoke less. Also, I took a funny resolution that is : « I'm not accepting defeat this year ». And I realized only a few days after taking it how hard it will be. I'm not dumb, when defeat is unavoidable, I'll just take it. But I decided to be a real Scorpio and be more stubborn than ever. We can say it's above all pride. Same pride as Vegeta, Bakugo or even Endeavour. Really touched me when Bakugo talked about « Absolute victory ». Sometimes I find myself too soft. I'm not going to become an awful person (or at least, not more awful than I am right now). I'll still be kind … But I'll go get the victories I deserve a little harder. Talking about my age, I'm a bit deceived I have no close old friends to share the memories. Every one is kinda gone. Sometimes it's my fault, and sometimes it's just people who are shit but life's like this. Also, every year I try to think of my best encounter of the year. It's kinda hard because sometimes, you meet someone a few years earlier but you really get to know each other later etc … So I'm not clear if this should count only people met this year or simply the people I've spent the best times with. Because I received a curious message this summer and my God. What a luck she took the chance to write me. We realized a few days ago we were in the same class in 10th grade (2nde) (we saw the class picture, what a laughter we had). We get along so well. And it's the proof that 2nd chances deserve to be given. I swear that I also lost some important people this year. But I'm not fighting to get people back anymore. I've done it too much and I'm simply done. People need to realize it's a luck to be in my life. I have my ways but you'll hardly find a friend that's patient and kind as I am. But nevermind, it always makes more time and attention for the people who are here, who really care for my hapiness. Focusing on the people who are here was one of the main concern this year, for a lot of reasons. I thought I was good for selecting the good people in my life but looks like I still can improve. So I'm still letting people go off my life. [3:36PM. Guess I said mostly what I had to say. Maybe 5 pages is enough, but maybe not.] Oh I can still tell the rest of the year. November have been one peaceful month. Away from all the obsessions. Focused on me. No karate but still courses by videoconference. The weather was very sweet even tho it was November. This second lockdown was not that funny but we've seen worst. And December … had it's ups and downs. It was cool to meet my kids 1 month after all these video courses. They clearly got stronger, it was cool. I could also talk about my experience as a sensei this year because there's a lot to say. At the beginning of February, it was my last competition but also for my kids. We litteraly took the competition by storm. On était TROP CHAUDS. But then the Covid stopped us. We kinda were ready for Occitanie championship, if you forget that I was sick the week before the competition. I'd have loved so much to see how far their training would have taken them on this competition. But thank God they cancelled it, guess He didn't want to see me lose ahah. So, I've seen a lot of kids getting better. What a pleasure. Later on this year I told them that I wanted to see them become stronger than me. Seems cliché, but I'm happy they took it seriously. Of course I'm dead serious. We also talked about I will be waiting for them in Senior. Hope they'll continue until then. And above all I hope I will still be competing. I really want to have a positive impact on these kids, competitors or not. And I guess it's working. (Btw I'll surely do a post about Whitebeard soon, just to show him love). So. What lessons can we draw from this chaotic year ? Always treat your high school comrades well. Be picky about who you let in your life. Before engaging in a relationship, ask why her previous relationship ended. Trust no B. (And BBW's are heaven sent). Now it's 3:50PM and I guess I'm done. But I keep myself the possibility to add things if I think of things to add. It's 6 pages long (Arial, 12) but if I can make it longer I will.

[Friday. 00:55AM] Edit : Ok. The story is funny. I really wanted to finish that in one day. So I wrote the previous lines between 10 AM and 4 PM Wednesday knowing I would need more time, just to check and to add a few more details. And one of those Lonely Wednesday Night would have been perfect just to finish the job. So I planned to finish it on wednesday night but the fact is I forgot my computer home …. So here I am one day later. Still baked, so still in the right state of mind to do it. It gave me time to proofread myself (?) and most importantly, it gave me time to read again some of my previous sum ups. It was interesting to compare how they're all different, and also how my writting evolved. Tbh I think I'm becoming more comfortable with my English. Or maybe the more I express myself, the more I look at ease with the langage. This sum up is the longest I've ever written. But still, I'll add things because I still haven't told everything. For example, I haven't spoken about the fact that all the Kazamastar adventure might be closer to the end than the beginning. Like, I'm not immediatly done with all that. I'm still having a lot of fun here. Anon visitors are also part of the game, but it's still all fun. It also keeps my « photograph eye » opened. This makes me think of the quote «I want to be so awfully happy that I never need to write poetry again. » [#] and more precisely I'm thinking about : do I post more when I'm happy or sad ? But I noticed this tumblr kinda works like therapy for me. (And especially, this post is a therapy by itself. Wednesday I woke up feeling bad, lower belly aching and making this post really helped me going through the day.) I post a lot when I'm sad but it really allows me to get all of these negative feelings out of me. I do stylize things but I know I'm not a poet or anything. But can you imagine being so happy that you don't write again ? Would be an amazing feeling. (Indeed, I've already done it once [#]. I've ended a blog on a perfect happiness and yes it felt amazing. ) Imagine if I do it here. After all the trials and tribulations I went through, it would be a perfect way to finish this tumblr. But as I'm speaking, I think there's like … less than 5% chance that it ends happily. If it does, it could be in a long time. I have a few ideas of when and how it could end, but Imma have to keep these selfishly for myself. You'll see when we'll get there.:) Also, I'm realizing right now the things I'm adding to the text make the timestamps through the text a bit less accurate but that's just a detail. [2:37 AM] Earlier I talked about this blog being a therapy for me. But it’s not only this tumblr. This year I proudly finished another tumblr (yes you can guess I was proud as I posted about that 17325 times already and pinned a post). This was such a relief to end it after letting it still for litteraly 2 years. Well that’s it for tonight !

No transition : let's go for the explanations of my choices for the playlist followed by the playlist itself. It's kinda easy to understand why « la mienne » is here, for the first month. This “I can’t touch you I’m not allowed to” really made me think of someone and this someone came back. Incredible. The next song with a Boogie is perfect for February. Very peaceful month, really full of very good moments (in the backseat of a certain car for example). The 2 next songs are for March. These are kinda « lockdown anthems » as The Weeknd album came out right at that time and so did Laylow's. Plus « Escape from LA » have the vibe I really love from Abel. 2 next songs are for April. Dsvn really smashed when he put that « A muse in her feelings » album. (and the « Amusing her feelings » is even better but that won't happen before January 2021). The sequence between « Outlandish – Keep it going - flawless » was one of the best thing I heard musically this year. But keep it going is insane. « Meilleurs » from Oboy is … special. And so are the 2 following songs. Meilleurs is now blacklisted but it's still one good song. But I can't listen to it anymore. Maybe that's exactly because it reminds me June and July. Count me in reminds me precisely of August 8th. Btw what a funny day, very far from all expectations we built up through the years (let's remind that the countdown started with more that 400 days, but I guess patience and loyalty is not always rewarded). I might digress from the playlist one second, but on this day we were in Treilles with the guys, and thank God I had them in this moment ... That’s when I drank to heal, with “count on me” for soundtrack. For September, I hesitated between « DEUX TOILES DE MER » or « MEVTR » (which means « Meilleur d'Entre Vous Tous Reunis », the 1st stage name of Damso). Damso’s flow on MEVTR is huge. He makes a whole verse rhyme and on but … 2 toiles is more iconic. Talking about iconic, « Bande organisée » wasn't a masterpiece but a force to be reckoned with (i find this expression funny ahah). I mean, in hip hop nowadays we don't see often rappers teaming up with big groups like that. Plus on this song particularly some of them have interesing flows and a lot of energy. And you can tell it comes from the South. Not of them are goods, some are excellent but this makes a very decent track. « Route 66 » was cool, even tough it's for November (so 2nd lockdown) it gave me really lovely vibes. And I take this occasion talking about November 2020 to remind it was the 10th anniversary of Kanye West's MBDTF and I celebrated it the right way héhé. Finally, this featuring is really ending the year well. Dinos dropped an insane album, his best since a long time and Tayc also (respectively « Stamina, » and « Fleur froide »). So having them on the same track was risky but it paid very well, incredible vibe from those two combined. They could have been in the top 3 albums but some people made better than them. Trinity is my top 1 one 2020. The concept, the musics … it was INSANE. QALF was also great. It's insane to see Damso get rid of « artistic barriers » to focus only on sound and music. No communication etc … Just music. And Eternal Atake from Lil Uzi Vert because it was long awaited but also because it was perfect, also a 1st lockdown album so it helped me forget my loneliness but so much good tracks ! And finally we have the very special songs that I coudn't tell why I like them. I just love their vibes. So now is 4:15 PM and I'm offically finished but I still have to tweak it. Know I won't hesitate to add things that are related to 2020 and that come to my mind :) Thanks for reading me. Have a lovely day, or night.

RECS: Top 30 Anime of All Time According to CDawgVA

  We've all had that moment where you're in the car with your friend and they ask to put some music on. For me, panic sets in — my music is weird as all hell. Do I lie and play music I think they will like, or do I just embrace the fact that I'm going to play weird stuff? This is the modern-day reality of being an anime fan online.

  Hi, I'm Connor, a personality online! I had my YouTube career (if you will) blow up because of my love of anime, and I'm constantly asked which anime are my favorites. Well, for the first time, I'll let you know! Essentially, this list is my 30 favorite anime of all time. Now this list will include some you expect, some you didn't and of course Jojo. 

    1. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure

I think anyone who knows me expected this. I love Jojo's, I love everything about Jojo's. The fanbase may be rabid and obnoxious at times, but there's something about this series that makes it a community event to be a part of. It's got a hard-to-appreciate art style at first, but it really grows on you. It becomes almost infectious and there isn't anything like it. Luckily, for fans of the manga, the anime produced by David Productions has done nothing but heighten the series by adding a soundtrack and voice work that most anime would die for.

    2. Bokurano

  Bokurano is difficult. It's uncomfortable. It's ugly. But it's a show you can't ever forget. Bokurano constanly leaves you unsettled and unhappy. It forces you to address your thoughts on life and the suffering that can come with it, something that many anime have tried and failed to do. I wholeheartedly believe Bokurano is a show that everyone must watch at least once.

    3. Ping Pong the Animation

  I think at one point or another, we've all naturally took to a skill or hobby and later dropped it, only to, later on in life, wish we had tried harder. Inversely, I think we've all had skills that we wish we could get better at, only to get frustrated seeing people exercise those skills with ease. Ping Pong manages to capture that very basic human experience and package it in a simple 12-episode series that I ended up loving way more than I ever expected.

    4. Attack on Titan

A very safe pick for sure, but Attack on Titan really does deserve the hype surrounding it, and as the final season is coming to an end, it's been an amazing experience getting to follow along for nearly eight years. Continually, Attack on Titan has surprised audiences with tear-filled episodes and goosebump-inducing moments.

    5. Mob Psycho 100

Mob Psycho 100, although sometimes overshadowed by its bald, overpowered brother, [Mob Psycho 100] really has shown audiences that it's something special. Mob's journey of self-improvement, mixed with the fantastically charismatic Reigen makes for a beautiful, heart-warming, and overall beautifully animated experience. 

  And here are the rest of the series:

  6. Death Note 7. Hellsing Ultimate 8. Gurren Lagann 9. Hunter x Hunter (2011) 10. Banana Fish 11. Toradora 12. Monster 13. Code Geass 14. One Punch Man 15. Samurai Champaloo 16. Steins;Gate 17. Psycho-Pass 18. Death Parade 19. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 20. Devilman Crybaby 21. Made In Abyss 22. Ouran High School Host Club 23. Baccano! 24. Parasyte -the maxim- 25. Golden Time 26. Rent-A-Girlfriend 27. Kill La Kill 28. Jormungand 29. One Outs 30. Haven't You Heard? I'm Sakamoto

  Honestly, writing this list was way harder than I expected, we are absolutely spoiled for choice, this list could easily be a top 100. But I hope some of you reading this find something new that you might check out.

  How many of your anime favorites made the list? Tell us in the comments!

[squeerpia]

A everyone seemed to love my top10 favourite animes I think I should show my most hated ones. The thing is that I don't usually hate anime and I feel like spilling tea so...

Top 9 animes everyone thinks are great and I think are shit.

(well, some of them I don't think are shit but some of them UUUUUUUUH I DO)

9. Legend of Galactic Heroes

This is here because I never actually ended watching it because IT MADE NO SENSE. So yeah, I just didn't felt like watching it. The scripwritter needs a lesson on international relationships.

8. Ergo Proxy.

It is not a bad show, it just has no consistancy. The episodic story to overall/background story ratio was not right. It was too focused in the actual episodic story and the thing with the virus and the postapocaliptic stuff and how unexplained it was and the abscene of conclusion...it is just not great for me even tho it is not a bad show.

7. Code Geass.

I like it. More or less. But it is not good. The topics are so superficial. If you want to talk about politics and revolution don't just use battles and fake deaths because that is just shock factor. I like it. But no.

6. Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan.

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagan is shit. But good shit. It lives on pure dynamic and rythm which is really good but t h e c h a r a c t e r s oh my godness. COHERENCE, WHERE ARE YOU? Nope, sorry. I understand you want to make charismatic characters but if you sacrifice common sense and try to make catharsis with sad songs and tears I need coherence.

5. Yurikuma Arashi

NO. Just NO. I know, nice art, nice references, nice designs...but oh godness, the script, THE SCRIPT. No cohesion at all, so much symbolism, so much devices for...nothing. No topic treated, no character construction, no cohesion, no consistancy...I hate you freaking bear rain.

4. Clannad

I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, FREAKING KILL YOU, AAAAAAAAAAAH. You had shitty humor in your first season, but it made sense: good actions have a recompense. It was mediocre. And then it comes the second season and YOU GET MELODRAMATIC, YOU START TORTURING YOUR CHARACTERS AND RUIN AN AVERAGE DIRECTION WITH CONTINOUS SPEECH. DO YOU THINK WHEN PEOPLE IS SAD A MOMENT OF SILENCE SAYS LESS THAN "I'm sad...buuuuuuuu"?! YOU CAN'T TREAT YOUR VIEWER LIKE HE WAS STUPID, APPEAL TO FEELINGS WITH NO RECOMPENSE OR ARGUMENTATIVE WEIGHT. DON'T. FREAKING. USE. DEATH. AND. DISGRACE. AS. A. MARKETING. STRATEGY. AAAAAAAAAAH.

3. Mawaru Penguindrum.

...man, you are a bit sick. Please, stop showing me all those fetishistic stuff with pretty colours, meaningless symbols, unconsistand non-cohesionated argument, bad constructed characters...it is empty. Just empty.

2. Koe no Katachi.

I H A T E Y O U. UNSTABLE ARGUMENT. INFRAWELL DONE CHARACTERS...

And the freaking inspirational porn and the freaking validation of abuse, and the freaking vanalisation of suicide...

And the freaking romantic toxic love...

I hate you...

I HATE YOU.

1. Maquia: the flowers of shitty arguments.

NABSBSJSKSKKSNDNDK.

AH.

AH.

AAAAAAAAAAH.

I PAID TO SEE YOU.

I.PAID.TO.SEE.YOU.

I watched Maquia in the cinema and it was the biggest dissaster I've ever seen. It is absolutly incompetent. Characters are WALKING CLICHÉS developed like if the scripwriter was in a bad journey of weed and writing shit was a cup of coffee.

The argument...

The argument...

Oh, the argument.

Rrrrrrrrrubish. Just rubish. I don't want to loose more time with this, Maquia is the most overrated and bad performed work I've ever seen.

My Future Charasuke x Menma Series

Part 12

Charasuke’s in a bad place right now after Menma picked Tobi/The Akatsuki over him.

Kakashi: Where’s Charasuke?

Nurse: He left the hospital even before we had fully healed the injuries he got from fighting Deidara. He went to do some more training.

Kakashi: That’s typical of this new Charasuke.

Sakura is worried about Charasuke’s mental health after their failed mission of bringing back Menma.

Remember that this is a mix between Road To Ninja/canon Naruto. So Sakura is in love with Menma here and doesn’t feel anything towards Charasuke. Charasuke is in love with Menma. But, he’s now a darker version of canon Sasuke.

Sakura: I figured you’d come here.

Charasuke: Sakura?

Sakura: This is where Team 7 had the bell test. This is where we became friends and teammates with Menma. Our team started here. This is where it all began.

Charasuke: …

Sakura: Wait, are you?

Charasuke: I’m using a mirror to use my own Sharingan on me. I’m putting myself under Genjutsu. So that I can relive the good old days when Menma was with me.

Sakura: Don’t give me that crap! *snatches mirror away from his hand and throws it across the forest* So what if you failed this time? Can’t you come up with another plan to get him back? Just give us a strategy like you always do. Should I use my medical ninjutsu to heal your wounds faster? Or maybe play decoy to lure The Akatsuki? Tell me! I’ll do whatever you say.

Charasuke: Alright, then. You can console me.

Sakura: Huh?

Charasuke gets up and starts walking closer to her until he’s got her backed up against a tree.

Charasuke: There are things… a woman can do for that, right? *starts leaning closer to her and caresses her cheek. He’s just about to kiss her.*

Sakura: *too stunned to react until she feels his breath against her mouth.* No! *punches him on the face*

Charasuke: *rubs his bruised cheek*

Sakura: Snap out of it, Charasuke! You’re an Uchiha! You’re a great shinobi now. You have an obligation. You’ve got to live up to your dreams you once gave us all! So please! Keep trying until you bring Menma back to us! Keep fooling yourself until you no longer can! Kakashi-Sensei and I need you! We need you to be an even greater shinobi than Itachi this time! Try to bring back Menma with all your heart! *starts crying*

Charasuke: …

Sakura: You’re not the only one who’s suffering here. I love him too! *cries uncontrollably as she runs off*

Charasuke: Sakura! *clenching fist* You’re right.

"Tobi" tries to brainwash Menma

Menma: Tobi? Where’s Hidan? I thought I was supposed to accompany him on a mission.

Tobi: No! Hidan left with Kakuzu. I think the big boss man just got confused. He’s been working too hard. All work and no play make Pain a-

Menma: Did you want to tell me something?

Tobi: Yes, Tobi just thought of a great idea! It’s a really, really, really good idea. So, listen to Tobi very carefully. Okay?

Menma: I’m listening.

Tobi: Why doesn’t Foxy forget about them?

Menma: What?

Tobi: All the heavy burdens that just weigh you down. The Hidden Leaf village. Kakashi. Sakura and… Charasuke.

Menma: You’re wrong! Charasuke isn’t a-

Tobi: For that Uchiha boy’s sake as well.

Menma: But…

Tobi: If Foxy stops worrying about his old teammates then, The Akatsuki could win. We could create a peaceful world. After we win. Foxy can go back to being friends with them again and be happy.

Menma: I…

Tobi starts walking closer to him until he’s standing right in front of him. Their noses nearly touching.

Tobi: Is there something wrong with that? Did Foxy not like Tobi’s idea? Wanting happiness isn’t a crime. No one would have to get hurt ever again.

Menma: *blushes and is nervous about Tobi lifting up his Orange mask enough for his mouth to be visible.*

Tobi: It’s alright. Tobi likes Foxy. Tobi will never abandon his cute Foxy. Tobi promises. *changes voice to his real one* I will stay with you forever, Men-ma. *closes distance and kisses a confused Menma*

1. Kodomo no Jikan (Worst for really fucking obvious reasons)

3. Elfen Lied

4. Ikoku Irokoi Romantan
