Using my TV Show PTW boardgame.

Last time I completed 7/10 of the ones on my list. I was much more in a cartoon mood so when all that was left was not that I lost steam and ultimately made the choice to move on.

Avatar: Stranger Things (move two extra tiles one time, only works on trap tile if I roll even)


Roll #1

Ironic I got Stranger Things as my avatar when that's one of the shows I couldn't watch last time. 😅

I rolled and got an 8, but I see that's the PTW and I don't want that sooo using my skill already to make it 10. Prompt: mostly blue cover. I can't tell if the cover is blue or blueish green but whatever, Danny Phantom it is! I'll probably end up rewatching because I didn't mark in my trakt anything but episode 1...

Roll #2

A 9, prompt: weapon on the cover. Helluva Boss!!

Roll #3

FML a 2 and that's the PTW square again I knew this was going to happen I just knew it. Ended up going through my list and removing a few movies that should've been on my letterboxd and putting the sort setting on random. Generated a 21 and that's Invader Zim! I would've been about 13 when it came out, I wasn't watching much TV then as I got my first PC. I'm excited to see a piece of culture I missed out on!

Roll #4

A 1?? Whatever man... Prompt: fantasy creatures. Took me a minute but I picked out She-ra, It's been way too long since I watched it, by this point I generally know what happens.

Roll #5

A 2......prompt: favorite genre. Fantasy and I'm shoeing in Ninjago to make sure it gets in there.

Roll #6

An 8, prompt: weapon on the cover again. Miraculous Ladybug!

Roll #7

A 7 and the end. The reward could be either Cybersix or Dark... You know what, I need guaranteed happiness and that's Cybersix.

Where to watch:
Danny Phantom
Helluva Boss
Invader Zim
She-ra
Ninjago
Miraculous Ladybug
Cybersix

Miraculous Ladybug 6x01

Alya's new haircut is cute.

Marinette continuing to put Adrien on a pedestal. She was so busy paying attention to the happy couple behind her that she slapped Adrien and stuck her fingers up his nose when he tried to kiss her, good lord.

Why did Alya/Nino run off to detransform when they transformed in front of everyone already?

Sometimes I feel like the new style is lovely and other times it just looks plain weird. The old style wasn't perfect either though.

I know this is being done on purpose to later show growth but it's so annoying. I'm too old to watch teens fumble around for too long at a time. 😅

Alya's voice seems more mature too, I like it.

"I don't know how to act like a loving couple" girl you grew up with one, your parents. She could've gone to them for help.

Marinette's lucky Lila didn't follow her when she went to transform;;

Camp Cretaceous 5x02

First I rewatched 5x01 where Kenji is reunited with his dad, everyone is worried he's evil, he convinces them he's not aaand at the end he blackmails Mae with the kids into helping him and Cash with his new plan.

I love how sweet Sammy and Yaz are with Kenji and helping him get ready. :') So hard watching his insecurity towards his dad knowing his dad is evil. 😓

Who are the people Darius' brother is getting help from??

I want to watch more now but I have other things to watch ahhh.

Ninjago 5x02

First rewatched episode 1. I was able to watch it on tubi here! Wu is opening a tea shop, the ninjas are still doing odd jobs, Lloyd misses his father. He's grown so much! Buut then he's possessed by Wu's former student Morro and the guys can't use their powers. Kai doesn't want to leave Lloyd but has no choice. They're all upset about having to fight and then leave their friend. I enjoyed the bits of humor and friendship/family in this episode, can't believe it took me this long to watch this show again.

Okay on to two, the fallout...

Wu gave up the scroll after copying its contents to save them all, the ninja go after Ronin who stole something Morro needs, and Wu+Misako reveal to Nya that she and Kai's mother was the water ninja and she needs to train in water to defeat Morro. They ultimately need to find Wu's father's burial place.

Cybersix E01

I was not expecting to be hit with such a lovely opening song! And the ending too. That was quite enjoyable. :D I watched it here on YouTube btw. I look forward to watching more!

Animation Check-in: The Owl House

Jun. 5th, 2025 02:08 pm
bluapapilio: The three main characters from Buddy Daddies (Buddy Daddies)
[personal profile] bluapapilio
The Owl House 2x15-21

Pretty sure I forgot to mark some episodes watched on trakt but rewatching is fun!

2x15: The young Eda/Raine episode. I love their instant connection, and Raine came just in time because Eda's sister got so wrapped up in studying she grew apart from Eda.

2x16:
The one where Luz and Hunter end up in Belos' mindscape, Luz finds out Belos=Phillip and Hunter finds out the truth about himself right before getting sucked into a hole. Hunter is so frickin' tragic.

2x17:
Wow how far behind is my trakt?? I definitely remember at least a few episodes ahead of these events. It's the one where King gets the letter from 'his warrior family' and he and Luz go investigate. Eda crying over Luz and King being in danger. :'<

2x18: Badass Augustus episode. He saved the students from getting permanent sigils. Amity realizes Willow has changed. They did a very Sailor Moon like pose!



Aww they're so sweet. 😭❤️️

2x19: Poor King, from one disappointment to the next. Omg who draw those wanted posters, I love them.



Tubedemon!!

The bike guy Steve bawling at the two little old ladies in love. 😭

Oh, so Steve is Matt's brother.

2x20: Awwww the kiss episode. <3

2x21:



babiesss 😭

Aw Hunter blushed when Willow caught him. 😊

I definitely had not seen this episode. 😭😭😭

I'm sad there's only three episodes left since the show got cut off, but they're longer so that's something. I think I will stop here for now...as much as I hate to at that cliffhanger. x_x

Game Check-in: 🚇Honkai Star Rail

Jun. 5th, 2025 01:57 pm
bluapapilio: sampo and gepard from one of their eidolons, fro the game honkai star rail (hsr eidolons samgep)
[personal profile] bluapapilio

Okay I started the quest where the group talks about the next location, then the POV switches to...Sunday!! I guess Jade let him go?? "Go now. You are free - O chosen one, who dared to exceed his bounds. Sever your wings, descend to the mortal realm, and walk their lands. See what this world is truly like."

So he's just been wandering around Penacony with this Wonweek and using Harmony so no one recognizes him.

Sunday's wings and hair are so fluffy I want to touch...

Wonweek, Workday...

Six year old Sunday tried to fly with his ear feathers. :')

I just realized he's not wearing his halo. *blink*

Was no one told that Jade freed Sunday?? Maybe it's purely about the fact that he came back to Penacony.

Why is no one concerned that Phantylia may have done something to Tingyun besides taking her place?? And Wonweek's reaction shouldn't have been dismissed, nor Tingyun's appearance change. I love her new look though, she's a really lovely character looks-wise.

So through a lot of work, Ruan Mei brought Tingyun back by giving her the choice to live even though she'll have Phantylia's scars on/in her forever. Wonweek probably saw the Destruction/Phantylia's mark when he tuned her. Ruan Mei is both terrifying and inspirational...

Who was the traveling merchant who saved Tingyun by bringing her to Ruan Mei and what did they give her in return??

What exactly happened to Tingyun's tail? I never expected to get this whole storyline for Tingyun. Apparently she was switched with Phantalyia a lot earlier than March thought. She does seem a lot different than the Tingyun we met, but then again this Tingyun's been through so much. I'm feeling quite affectionate towards her right now. :')

Why is so much left out of the translation? For every three sentences spoken there's one small line of text sometimes...

Tingyun and Yukong. 😭

I'm surprised the Harmony worked against Robin.

So Sunday severed his halo. 😭 At least he didn't cut off his wings. *shudder* I understand his reasoning for doing it though.

Sunday doesn't like frivolous people...I guess he wouldn't get along well one on one with March or even Caelus/Stelle depending on how you play them;;

The Harmonious Choir fight was too hard, I had to lower the difficulty (really grateful we can do that). Sunday got his halo back! And he joined the Astral Express! I thought I saw something about that in fandom but thought maybe it was a fanon thing or a spoiler so I avoided looking too close. Good to know it's true!

Looks like something is going on with Herta, wonder if we need to go to the Space Station before Amorpheus.

Game Check-in: 🌊Wuthering Waves

May. 31st, 2025 07:23 pm
bluapapilio: Rover from Wuthering Waves (WuWa Rover)
[personal profile] bluapapilio
I did the Cube, Cubic n Cubie event, it was cute and fun.

Can't believe it took this long to meet Calchoro and it's as a cube T_T he seems cute!! I want to see cube!Scar.

Oh, new char Ciaccono, she's so pretty. She has both elf ears and horns. Her dress looks one breeze away from exposing her though. Cartethyia is really cute. I'm really curious what the truth is about the Sentinel and Cartethyia now.

I really like how the character's eyes get teary with emotion!!!

And now we get to meet the head of the Fisalia family! The ones who worship the Threnodian supposedly. How did Rover link 'deep-sea jellyfish' with the Fisalia head? Because of the 'poison' thing??

Ah, so Cantarella is the Fisalia head, I saw her on the WuWa twitter. Lmao her boobs are comical.

It would come as no surprise if the Order was the one worshiping the Threnodian. 🤷

The ride to the sonoro sphere was the slowest thing ever, I know they needed to deliver some exposition but omg.

I like Cantarella's gameplay look, umbrella and jellyfish!

The Cantarella/Cartethyia interactions are immaculate.

Omg Cartethyia was so cute during the gondola ride, wish I was playing fem!Rover. Man, there's room for 4 people on that gondola, what do you mean we couldn't all fit...

I'll never stop being impressed by the graphics in this game...the lighting, the scenery, the animation...

Aww the little dragons on the way to the Tower of Salvation, no way I could fight those (edit: guess what happened).

"This seminary built on an island was not just a place of learning but also a sanctuary for raising dragon Echoes" ooh so that's why they're there! Aww, I guess they were abandoned when shit went down... Though it sounds like they were taught to be useful/strong to Resonators/the Order.

So the dragon tacet discords lived there before the settlers came and eventually the Order tamed them into echoes. Gehinnom was their king, Cartethyia used to ride him. She only just found out his fate. :'(

The voice the Laurates heard was Cartethyia's?! Hahah.

"I can no longer taste anything" a fate worse than death...

Lol they just straight up decided to leave Cantarella out of it at the last step. I knew she'd show up though.

Ughh the music during the Fleurdelys fight and after, I couldn't even cry I was so intent on everything going on.

So Rover gave Imperator permission to do what it needed to understand the Threnodians, so it merged with it and pretended to have been defeated to do so?? Daamn.

Huh, I felt the most emotional when Imperator asked Rover if they fulfilled their duty. I can't imagine how free it would feel to be told that and that I could let go. Honestly the whole thing with Sentinels makes me feel melancholy. I don't know if they can feel loneliness or melancholy like humans but if they feel even a fraction...I just get sad.

I really wasn't sure Cartethyia was going to make it out of this, I was hoping the two halves could come together and welp they did but it seems Cartethyia lost her cuteness to the colder Fleurdelys. :'< And now she has a new life after saying she was satisfied and ready to go. She can taste food again, she'll age, the world and people have changed, Okay now I'm tearing up. I want her to travel, make friends, relearn Rinascita...

So what happens next with the Order? I hope what they've done isn't just brushed off. >.> And Phoebe needs to know the truth.

Okay so she doesn't want Rover to tell anyone the truth?? So they'll keep worshiping the Threnodian...great...

I want to see Cantarella and Carlotta meet!

[personal profile] bluapapilio
I used my boardgame here.

I finished 5/5 from my last PTW list.

Avatar:


Senkuu (beat the trap tile one time)


Roll #1:

A 1. 😬 Prompt: European ambiance. I had SO MUCH trouble with this. I ended up removing multiple prompts that won't work for for anime, then I struggled finding anime I was okay with watching, not reading the manga for. I may have to remove this prompt in the future but for now I'll pick Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu.

Roll #2:

A 3. Prompt: Witch/sorcerer etc. How about My Next Life as a Villainess, hopefully what I marked I watched last it still accurate.

Roll #3:

A 9. CR tile and I generated a 67 which is...Osomatsu-san 2nd Season.

Roll #4:

A 7, prompt: isekai. Let's just go with Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken even though I probably won't remember what's going on lol

Roll #5:

A 2, prompt: historical. Uhh I'd like to try watching more Revenger.

Roll #6:

A 9 and no more trap tiles. Prompt: highest rated on list. There's no way to compare the ratings on my CW list so I had to go to the 'top anime' page and see from there. It was Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu which I've already chosen. I just added FMA: Brotherhood to my list so I suppose I'll watch that.

Roll #7:

A 10 and done, reward is Wind Breaker.

Changelog:
I added like 5 prompts. Also removed like 7...

Moze found Jiaoqiu. 🙏

So Feixiao actually grew up as a slave on a borison controlled world. :/

Moze sounded a little miffed that Jiaoqiu signaled him to stay hidden. I wonder if he saw when Hoolay hurt him.

Okay Moze ended up showing himself anyway and he's definitely worried about Jiaoqiu. I want to know their history.

Feixiao's bow attack was badass!

Owlbert's here??


Noo Jiaoqiu!!


So Feixiao's slave name was Saran and she lost someone very important to her while trying to escape. :'( I wonder who gave her her new name? I bet that meant so much to her...

Did Lan really respond to Feixiao?

It's really annoying when story characters replace my healer or shield;;

The vidyadhara are such a mess. 😭

It's so weird to hear Caelus suddenly speak multiple sentences aloud.

So Jiaoqiu survived the blood loss but went blind from the poison. 😭Feixiao says she'll look for a cure but her case was different, he literally took poison and it destroyed his eyes from the inside, you can't get back what's destroyed, unless there's a way to transplant eyes/vision in this world (remembering Dan Shu here). He feels like being alive is plenty enough, since he was willing to give his life and nearly did for this.

Tingyun!!

I was playing the companion quest for Wardance ceremony March 7 but it went away before I could finish it. :<

I went back to the Express for the first time since I started playing again because I've gathered like 50 records and...there's a new Party Car?? I was so confused for a few minutes about why everything looked different. And what's this about the Void Archive being the bartender's former master? 🤔

I finished Star Rail WORLD in the span of a day, it was a fun, easy game and I liked the character anecdotes. 😋

Finished season 2 of Solo Leveling and I think it leaves off where I did in the webtoon? Apparently season 3 won't be out for a long time. Maybe I should continue with the webtoon.

Watched episode 2 of 'Science Future Part 1" of Dr. Stone. Taking it slow so it's not over too fast.

Watched episode 2 of Babanba Banba Vampire.

Watched another episode of Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu LOVE!, funny as always!

Watched the first two episodes of season 2 of Wind Breaker!

Spoilers ⬇️

Wind Breaker
season 2

Episode 1: Finally! I didn't think I was ever going to get around to starting season 2.

They just had to make that the opening scene! Nireiii.



🤩 The OP visuals are wonderful.

Always appreciate how Suou includes Sugishita in on things.

Not only did Nirei help Sakura, he had the foresight to call for help beforehand. He was scared but not a coward, he saved them.

The sound effect when Kaji punched Sakura;; The sfx in general are really good.

Wow the ED visuals are intense! Definitely gonna watch that again.

Episode 2: Suou's attitude change was hilarious to see/hear animated. It's the second moment that could make people ship SuoSaku.

How did that Keel guy fighting Kaji not bite his tongue off talking while being punched?

Lmao at everyone getting so excited when Enomoto and Kusumi lifted Kaji's arms.

The extra was hilarious, Suou reminding Sakura that he smiled while fighting Togame, making Sakura apologize only to say 'just kidding'. xD

Chapter 1-2: In the US version, it was split up into Duelist and then Millennium World from hereon. This could get annoying to track.

"When they offered to animate Yugioh, I was half excited and half scared! It meant handing over something that means so much to me to somebody else. Will the themes translate properly to the screen?" - Takahashi

It sounds like he was satisfied with the VAs at least, I know the anime was very different in ways to the manga.

It's officially Duel Monsters/Pegasus time!!

I love that Jounouchi can't beat Anzu. xD

Aw Yuugi didn't enter the tournament because he wanted to go against Kaiba. =P

Kaiba's been in a coma in the hospital this whole dang time?? For some reason I figured he'd recovered after like a few days, maybe a few weeks. But I guess having a part of your self wiped (especially the evil) and having to reconstruct yourself would be especially taxing.

Is this the first time Yami Yuugi has come out in front of Mutou-jiichan? I've never seen Yami Yuugi so upset!

Chapter 3: I don't think I like this arrogant, hot-tempered Yami Yuugi, bring back the stoic and quietly caring one. 😭

Man, wouldn't Yuugi have joined the tournament anyway? Especially if he found out Kaiba was going to be there.

Chapter 4: At least Yuugi is able to keep in touch with his grandpa through the camera. 😭

How does Jounouchi know Pegasus dug his own eye out to put the millennium one in?

Used to be that Yami could only come out in certain circumstances. I think I'm just going to have to take this new personality as him really waking up after coming in contact with Bakura's millenium item. I just don't like the whole hot-headed, arrogant angsty teenager shtick. 😬

And the very first Shizuka mention! I wonder if Takahashi-sensei planned her from the start or only came up with her when he planned this arc? I'm thinking the latter, or he would've at least thought of her when thinking about the prize money that one chapter. I'm guessing the mom chose not to take Jounouchi because he was a ~troublemaker~, or she couldn't afford both of them.

Okay for once I need a break from Yugioh. 😵

Welcome

I've been into anime & stuff since around 2001. Learning Japanese seriously since 2021, slow but steady. I'm newly into otome games and visual novels. Learn more from my carrd above! ♥
