Hi, people. So far...it has been a good year. This month is not so busy because it is the month of the Lunar New Year (or the Chinese New Year). I got more time on my hands to write my blog post. Well, you could say that it is to make up for the lack of publishing for a few months. Sorry about that.
Remember them? CUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, with the publishing streak continuing and with my previous post about Slow Loop up, it's time for another round of Yama no Susume!!!!! Yes, another round. This time, it is the FOURTH season of this anime series! Hope you enjoy it as you read on. Let's go!!!!!!!!!
WARNING:-
SPOILER ALERT! This post is very likely to contain spoilers for this anime.
So...if you are planning to watch the anime without any spoilers, you can
either continue to read this post or move on and watch the anime.
P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You
HAD been warned. Don't blame me for being spoiled if you INSIST on continuing
to read this post.
Introduction
The anime...ah, nostalgic.
This series, Yama no Susume...I dun think that it needs a lot of introduction because I had done it back in 2018. The anime's new season, season 4 a.k.a. Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit gets released last year. OH YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was really hyped until I saw the first few episodes...I will talk about it in the next segment. Anyway, this season's Yama no Susume was aired from October 2022 to December 2022.
Season 4!
Plot
Flashbacks...
Regarding the story plot, the first few episodes that got my spirits down a bit and almost made me quit this season are the flashbacks for the plot from the first three seasons. I wanted to see Aoi's journey to finally conquer Mount Fuji but I got flashbacks instead. Well, of course, it didn't disappoint me in the end. That part actually becomes revisiting the journey on how Aoi's mountain climbing journey came about. I enjoyed it indeed. My anger is not exactly justified in the end.
Koharu and Aoi
Aoi rejected Koharu's invitation
Anyway, back to the story. We will start the story with the scenes after the flashback episodes. A girl named Seijuin Koharu, the president of the Mountaineering Club invites her to the club. After a trial run with the club, because of the hardcore nature of the club, she decided to not join the club. This girl, Koharu is still very helpful to Aoi in terms of getting her to her aim of reaching the top of Mount Fuji. She is the one who suggested to Aoi and Hinata to climb Mt. Buko to improve Aoi's stamina issue.
Aoi and Hinata with Aoi's mum...picnic time!!!
After a series of mountain climbing and chill time with the cute girls, Aoi and her friends are finally going to scale Mt. Fuji again. Aoi once again was down with altitude sickness but lighter compared to her first attempt. She then rested with Hinata at one of the rest stops. They had dinner and had a light chat before going to sleep. Yes, it's to get up and then hopefully scale Mount Fuji.
Oh no, not this again...
Well, thankfully, Aoi manages to mostly recover overnight, with a bit of altitude sickness still there, forcing her to slow down and stop from time to time to take a break. And yes, Aoi is at the summit of Mount Fuji!!!!!! Aoi and her friends (and the rest of the climbers) waited and watch the sunrise from the summit. Afterwards, the girls head up to the true summit, Kengamine, where Aoi decides to write a postcard to her future self. An interesting and satisfying end to the anime. Will there be another season? I don't know but I would welcome it. OK, next section!

Anime Rating
Story (Rating: 9/10)
The story starts off with a series of flashbacks and not the continuation of the previous season, which at first irritated me but later on, I started to appreciate them. Anyway, the story after that is interesting, cute and well-paced. Nothing much I would complain about.
Cute girls!!!
Art and Animation (Rating: 7/10)
The arts and looks of the characters are still as cute as ever but...in episode 6, I start to see signs of human expression and human movement breaking down. I don't know why, but it's not a great sign as it affects the anime's quality overall.
Broken animation in episode 6...
Sound and Music (Rating: 8/10)
This...I did mention the opening theme song in another blog post. It's pretty good. The ending theme song and its sequence is pretty good. The background music is pretty good. Yeah, that's all I can say.
Pretty good OP sequence
Characters (Rating: 10/10)
Cute girls!!!!!!!! And also, finally, Aoi finally CONQUERED MOUNT FUJI!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, there are more characters and more cute and funny (and not cunny) moments to behold. More growth and development for Aoi's mountain climbing journey. Nice. It's great to see it.
Christmas party!!!
Enjoyment (Rating: 9/10)
I enjoyed this anime although I did have some complaints regarding the few episodes being flashback episodes. It did affect my enjoyment of the anime but I feel better about it after I readjust my expectation. Good stuff. Will watch it again when I have the time.
Cute girls together!!!!
Overall Rating: 8.6 (8.5)/10

Conclusion
Well, that's the end. I would like to continue this streak and make sure I clear the majority of my draft by writing them up and publishing them. Well, it won't be easy but I will try my best. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy reading and browsing this
blog. Goodbye, and God bless you! Also...Happy Lunar New Year! See ya!!!!!
Hello, people! Well, it has been a while since I have written anything on this blog. So I present to you another idol anime. Hehe... Guess the anime? Anyway, if you are wondering what anime is it, maybe you might think that it's the Idolm@ster series, Love Live or even Aikatsu. Nope. None of these. It is PRETTY RHYTHM...but I will start with the 1st of the series, Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream. WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You have been warned.

Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry for the long hiatus. I have been swamped in recent months and already facing a serious crisis in my life. The fallout of the situation is not over but I have to cope with it. Also, I'm sorry that the announcement of my hiatus was only on X/Twitter and then was late to announce it on Facebook . I should've made a short blog post on my hiatus too. New year, new me ntal breakdown Anyway, I will briefly tell you about what I'm planning for this year on this blog. Well...that's it. Without further ado, let's go! WARNING:- Although this post is about a certain anime song, there might be SPOILERS from the anime.

Hi! Welcome! How are you? Anyway, I'm starting to write to blog posts again. I have not written much last month. I'm trying to make up this month. That's why I have published the update post for Nanoha Detonation and the recent Saekano anime review . Remember her? Anyway, I'm revisiting Nanoha season 1 to 3 as I didn't give rating points for them yet. I wanted to do season 3 separately but after giving some thought to it, I felt that it was unnecessary so here we are. Nanoha!!!! It's time!!! Let's GO!!!!! WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned.

Hi, people. How are you? Well, for me, I'm still finding a job. Anyway, I have watched it last month, December 2018. It was really good but I still find it hard to start writing it but I have decided to write it regardless... An interesting pic that I have found... Yes, I'm talking about the anime movie, Nanoha Detonation. This post (like Nanoha Reflection) that won't have many screenshots on. I will pick some screenshots from the PV and will update this post with screenshots from the movie. I will update you through my AniList profile, Facebook page and making a special blog post like the one for Nanoha Reflection . Anyway, let's go!!! WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned.

Hi, people! It has been a LONG WHILE ever since I had posted anything on this blog. So, I will be posting something. FINALLY! Right? Oh yeah, I finally got to finish watching this anime and it's often compared with another anime with a similar setting, Asterisk War. I might not watch the Asterisk War as it is widely considered as the worst of the two. Beautiful, isn't it? BTW, I'm so sorry for not posting anything for a long time. I haven't got time for anime reviewing for quite a while. I had been busy with my Final Year Project (FYP) and the FINAL spurt of my study life. I'm sick and tired of my study life already, it's time for a change. Anyway, now, let's talk about Rakudai Kishi. Let's go!!! WARNING:- SPOILER ALERT!!! If you haven't watched it and plan to watch it without anyone being the spoiler, please DON'T CONTINUE READING!!! P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it. You HAD been warned. Don't blam...
