| MANGA - Akatsuki no Yona Chapter 198 |

We got to see Min-soo trying to find a cure for the Crimson Illness. Honestly, I'm not sure whether I want Soo-Won to be cured or not. I'm not totally against him, even if he's scary, but curing him would make the story much longer and complicated. We will still wonder if he'll let Yona have the throne or at least let her help him, and things like that. I don't want to think about it. I just want Soo-Won to end in peace. 

Shin-Ah is missing our Yona. I want to see them with her again!!!! Stupid Soo-Won. Also, where is Hak??

Simple lines from Yona, yet it packs a punch. I find her character development and fierceness awesome.

Yona did wait for Min-soo in the office. Damn girl, three days? 

It's hilarious to me that Ao is still in the shot. He's there to watch over Yona. Such a cutiepie.

Yona using logic against Soo-Won, and winning is one of the best scenes here. Soo-Won had nothing to say against her idea.

The Queen is here, ladies and gentlemen! Goodness. She looks regal even as just a temporary substitute for the emissaries.

Oh boi Kei-shuk how wrong you are. 

PS: I want to smack your face. You look annoying.

PPS: How is it that he still looks like he did in the flashbacks???

I honestly love this chapter. It was a short one, but we get to see Yona as the fierce person that she is. She wasn't intimidated by the emissaries. She did not take the bullshit they were sprouting, and even stated that she was there in person. She be like, "Bitch, you can't fool me." 

It made me excited for the future chapters. How would this affect her current stay at Kouka? 

| MANGA - Akatsuki no Yona Chapter 197 |

Hey! I wanted to start a new type of post where I react to the current chapter of manga or things I watch/read. Maybe it will help me get motivated to post reviews again. Comment if you think it's better if I make a video telling my thoughts rather than typing it. Follow me at rAikY gAmeRiNg on Youtube!

I started at this chapter of AnY because this is the chapter I'm currently at. I was planning to do this earlier when I started reading AnY, but I was unmotivated. Let's start now. Warning! There will be spoilers up ahead. If you haven't read this chapter, don't continue reading.

First of all, look at how precious Ao and Shin-Ah are.

I honestly forgot that Yona was reading Yonhi's diary and that's why we had a flashback of the past events.

It's devastating to know about the behind the scene events. Both Il and Yon-hi knew what would happen, yet there was no warning to Yona. Il just accepted his fate as a placeholder for the Crimson Dragon King. I'm glad that Il did find someone to stay by Yona's side. Knowing why he allowed Hak to be with her was something precious. 

I'm still confused about why Il killed Yu-Hon (my brain cells are not working properly). Is it because he thinks that Yu-Hon killed Kashi? However, we never had any confirmation that Yu-Hon did kill her. I mean, it can be implied, but it's too important a detail to not state. I think it would be revealed somewhere that someone else killed her, or she's still alive? I'm not sure. Did they see a body? We have no actual knowledge of what happened. 

The other reason he stated was that Yu-Hon should never be king which I agree with. It's just terrible that he had to kill his brother for that. I think Yu-Hon would end up being a tyrant if he became the king, so it's better for Kouka. 

I'm honestly torn now. Before, I wasn't so against Soo-Won, but knowing that he's been planning this since he was young, I don't know. That's messed up. The murder was already on his mind at a young age. It's devastating that even his mother is scared of him, but in all honesty, who wouldn't be? Were all his actions towards Yona just an act? I'm so confused now.

On a side note, I'm happy that the flashback part is already finished! We get to see Yona and the gang again!

| UPDATE - What's Been Consuming My Time? |

Classes have started yet the thing that's been consuming my time is a game called, "Genshin Impact". I'm enjoying my time wishing for luck in the gatcha, and doing my best in the quests in the game. 

I have also created a youtube channel - Raiky Gamering. Please watch and subscribe. Thanks!

Here are some links to the videos that are available:

I don't know if somebody supports this blog, but I'll do my best to finish my backlog reviews. However, I can't promise anything seeing as the classes are ongoing, and Genshin's been consuming my time. Wish me luck!

| MOVIE - Fantasy Island |

SYNOPSIS: A group of people gets invited to an island where they can make their fantasies come true.

GENRE: Suspense, Fantasy

RATING: 5/10

The premise was very intriguing. An island where your fantasies come true? Sign me up! However, we all know that things rarely work out, so you know things would get fucked up at some point. I enjoyed seeing the execution of the different fantasies that the characters had. Melanie's was so intense, though. When things started going downhill, the enactment of the scenes was well enough for you to feel the suspense. There were also some heartbreaking moments with regards to the fantasy. However, the reason why this was a let-down was the main twist. For all the things that they had to endure on that island, it felt shallow. I wish that was never introduced. 

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Probably not.

WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Once was enough.

---

WARNING: SPOILERS!

• It was funny to see Michael Peña in a serious role, especially since we're most familiar with him in his antics in Antman.
• It's heartbreaking that the reason why Mr. Roarke takes care of the island is to see his wife alive, even if she doesn't remember him after getting resurrected.
• JD and Brax's fantasy is honestly the most relatable one. To be rich.
• The twist with Patrick's fantasy was heartbreaking. He got to see his father again.
• I find it weird that Gwen didn't realize her correct fantasy immediately. If it was really bugging her that much, she should have thought of that first. It was heartbreaking that even in the fantasy world, she didn't pick Allen. Her poor daughter.
• The way Melanie's fantasy played out was so sadistic. Even if Sloane was a bully, she didn't deserve that torture. I honestly found myself rooting for Sloane in the end. I'm glad that she got to pay Melanie back.
• Dr. Torture was a scary character. He kept coming back!
• It was heartbreaking that Brax chose to stay so that his brother can live his life. That was a noble gesture. It was funny that his tattoo is literally the word tattoo.
• I don't get the point of having Damon here. He was just killed immediately. Maybe he's just there to guide them, but what a waste of a character.
• It felt kind of forced that everyone who was invited on the island had a connection in real life. I would have preferred it if the actual revenge fantasy was because of Nick's parents. There was no point in enacting revenge on the other group members in the team except probably on Gwen because they didn't know that the fire would happen. Melanie felt like such a SIMP. There wasn't any assurance that would get to be with Nick even if he survived the fire, yet she got angry at everyone with a weak connection to Nick's death.

| MOVIE - Bad Boys for Life |

SYNOPSIS: Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett become entangled in a case that's connected to Marcus' past.

GENRE: Action, Comedy

RATING: 5.8/10

It was still entertaining to watch. The actions were okay, but it wasn't like what it was before. It lacked the feeling that the original Bad Boys movie had. The story didn't feel original, and it felt like they just forced that storyline to get another sequel. I didn't care about the bad guys, and the sudden changes in their personality didn't help anything. The only highlight of this was that we get to see Marcus and Mike together again. The humor was still there. However, the other addition to the cast kind of annoyed me. I don't think they were necessary. 

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Just for the laughs.

WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Once was enough.

---

WARNING: SPOILERS!

• I hated that they killed Captain Howard. There wasn't any real reason behind that except to motivate Marcus. He didn't even need that. He was plenty motivated on his own. Sure, there was a bad guy, and he liked killing people, but it didn't feel justified. 

• The twist where the bad guy was Mike's son wasn't surprising. It's a predictable thing that has been used too much as a twist. Also, it seemed out character for the bad guy to just suddenly decide to protect Marcus. He should have been in more shock or something. 

• Isabel was one psycho character. She only used her son to get revenge. 

• I got annoyed that Charles Melton is here. I still can't over the fact that he replaced Ross Butler as Reggie in Riverdale. 

| MOVIE - Contagion |

SYNOPSIS: A virus began spreading, and the doctors are trying to find a vaccine. Chaos started to ensue because of the pandemic. 

GENRE: Disaster, Action, Science Fiction

RATING: 5.3/10

We decided to watch this because it kept being suggested as one of the top disaster movies. I appreciated that it had a more realistic approach to how a virus would work, and how a cure would be developed, but honestly, I was quite bored. It looked more like a documentary rather than a movie, and it wasn't that good. Most of the scenes that were shown and the characters didn't have a connection to each other. It seemed like they had their own world. I think four subparts were shown, and they switched at random. Sometimes you'll be confused as to which subpart you are. You won't feel any attachment to anyone, so why even stick around? I don't get the point of having lead characters that don't have any effect on the plot. We only need the doctor, and possibly the first carrier. Sometimes it seems that they want to fight for something during the scenes, but it doesn't seem like that's the focus, so you'll just brush it aside. Also, you are supposed to fear what they are experiencing, yet it doesn't feel that way.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: No, I think there are better documentaries than this.

WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Never again.

---

WARNING: SPOILERS!

• I get that Matt Damon was a carrier, yet he was immune, but after that, why even show him? We even got to see him take care of his daughter, but who cares?
• Kate Winslet was also a weird addition to the cast. It seemed like we should be devastated that she would die, yet I didn't even care about her. 
• I applaud the doctor that tested her own cure to herself to check if it would work. She made the process a whole faster. Although that technique is probably not allowed in real life. She was the only one worth watching in the entire movie.
• I don't get the point of having Laurence Fishburne's character.
• Only at the end do we find out why Gwyneth Paltrow was shown in the beginning. That was interesting to see, especially since we saw the process of how she came in contact with the infected specimen. Also, that was disgusting. 
• Orantes' substory was confusing. I understand that it's to show how unfair the first world countries are to the ones third world countries, but it was just like something that was mentioned. Not focused on.
• Jude Law's character was annoying. He deceived people at the cost of their lives, and I hated that. There are people like that in our society, especially since we are experiencing the same situation right now, and I hate them. 

| MOVIE - Outbreak |

SYNOPSIS: A deadly virus began spreading in California, and the military/ doctors are trying to do their best to find a way to cure it. 

GENRE: Disaster, Action, Science Fiction

RATING: 7.3/10

This movie was very thrilling. There were no slow moments. They were always doing something related to the virus, so the flow was very smooth. It was interesting that they showed how the virus spread and how much people were affected, and then they started developing a cure. I felt invested in what would happen in the development process - how the characters would be able to solve it. The conspiracy was an intriguing additional aspect, even though you can tell that it was just there to add more conflict. As if the characters didn't have their hands full with the cure. The casts were great in their roles. I especially love seeing Morgan Freeman.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: If you want something thrilling, and don't hate old movies. It came out in 1995.

WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: Not really, except if somebody wanted to watch it with me.

---

WARNING: SPOILERS!

• Since this a movie, they found a cure faster than the real-life rate. I honestly wish it was that easy to create a cure, especially with the situation in our world right now. 
• The virus that was shown was very devastating. 
• I loved seeing young Patrick Dempsey here. It was devastating, though, that he was the first casualty. It was very stressful to watch him transport the carrier monkey illegally, but it was more stressful when he released it in the wild. 
• I disliked Donald Sutherland's role. He was such an asshole. I guess this may be happening in real life? We don't know. It was a sad reality that they would let many people die to get their hands on a virus that can be used in war.
• The child playing with the monkey was another stressful scene. I felt bad for the mother because she was scared for her daughter.
• I love the flight scene chase that occurred near the ending.
• Even though it's not realistic, I'm glad that Sam was able to convince the bomber flight crew not to detonate the bomb on the town. It was awesome to see Morgan Freeman relieve Donald Sutherland of his command.
• I love that there was a happy ending for Sam and Robby.

| MOVIE - Birds of Prey: And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn |

SYNOPSIS: After breaking up with Joker, Harley Quinn becomes entangled with a young thief and a crime lord.

GENRE: Superhero, Action, Comedy

RATING: 7.8/10

I enjoyed this a lot. The story wasn't anything new, to be honest, but it was such a fun watch. The dialogues are hilarious, and the bonds that developed between the characters were adorable. I like that it became a team of superhero women, yet it wasn't in your face with the female empowerment. I love the bond that they were able to develop. Also, the action scenes were awesome. It's one of the rare DC movies that I enjoyed. It's much better than the Suicide Squad. I really love Margot Robbie's portrayal of Harley Quinn, and all of her costumes.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: Yes. It was simple and fun to watch. Just don't have any high expectations. Enjoy it for what it is.

WOULD I WATCH IT AGAIN: I've watched this at least three times now.

---

WARNING: SPOILERS!

• The most heartbreaking thing here is when Harley dropped her breakfast sandwich. That thing was very appetizing as fuck.

• I was very devastated when Doc sold her out. I thought that had a special bond.

• I love that she had a pet hyena, and she treated that like a dog. 

• Roman Sionis is such a useless villain. Victor was more of a villain than him. Still, they were both stupid. I feel like they wasted Ewan McGregor's talents.

• I love Dinah. She's amazing, and she saved Harley when she was drunk. I was surprised that she was hiding such a strong skill. 

• I disliked the detective character. It just seems like she's there to push around people.

• The Huntress was such an awkward character, and I loved it. She was an amazing fighter, yet when it comes to talking to others, she doesn't really know how to.

• I love the bond that developed between Cassandra and Harley. It was wholesome, even though Harley almost sold Cassandra to survive. At least she had a character development when she didn't go through with it.

• I love the fight scene in the park. It was such a great moment that displayed their different skills and attacks.

• The scene where Harley followed Sionis using roller skates was stupid but hilarious. Also, the way he was defeated. Like, could you be any more useless?

| JAPANESE MOVIE - Hyouka: Forbidden Secrets |

SYNOPSIS: Oreki gets entangled with Chitanda Eru. Together with the other members of the Classics Club, they try to uncover the mystery of what happened to Sekitani Jun.

  

GENRE: Drama, Mystery

RATING: 7.5/10

I just decided to watch this for Kento Yamazaki and ended up enjoying watching this adaptation a lot. The problem I had with the anime was that it had too many parts that aren't that necessary. This adaptation managed to capture the essence of Hyouka. We lost the beautiful visuals of the anime, but we got to focus on the actual mystery that the Hyouka story had, and honestly, there was an improvement here. It gave out more feels and was able to break my heart in a new way. There was a less bonding experience here between the characters, but it was alright for me. I still liked the friendship between Oreki and Satoshi. 

Kento Yamazaki was great in his performance as Oreki. I prefer him over the anime version. Alice Hirose was alright, but I didn't feel like she was able to embody Chitanda's enthusiasm.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: If you want to know what Hyouka is all about without watching the anime. Also, if you just want more Hyouka.

WOULD I WATCH AGAIN: If somebody wanted to watch it with me, I would join them willingly.

SPOILERY THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS

THINGS I ENJOYED:

• They were able to add additional content to the actual event of what happened to Sekitani Jun. Aside from the school building getting burned, a student got hurt. It added emotional impact because we got to see that it was Sekitani Jun that rescued her. He got expelled for something that he didn't start, and he even saved the girl. Nobody even defended him.

• The actual meaning of Hyouka still gives me chills.

• It's great that we still don't know what happened to Sekitani Jun. He's like Schrodinger's cat. I also like that they gave Sekitani Jun a place where he could rest (Benares part) even if they don't know the whole truth about what happened to him.

• I like how savage Oreki is here compared to the anime counterpart. My favorite scene was where he pushed Ibara off the table, and he didn't give any fucks about where she landed.

• Kento Yamazaki is so adorable.

| ANIME - Gugure! Kokkuri-San |

SYNOPSIS: Kohina played the Kokkuri Game and summoned the fox spirit, Kokkuri. He decided to stay as her guardian after seeing her unhealthy lifestyle.  

GENRE: Slice of Life, Fantasy, Comedy
NUMBER OF EPISODES: 12

RATING: 7.5/10

I honestly didn't expect I'd enjoy this as much as I did. I was only going to watch six episodes, but I ended up finishing it in one sitting. I came here for the handsome fox spirit, but I stayed for the bond. Don't expect much story from this. The only focus of the anime was the random shenanigans that happened in the life of Kokkuri and Kohina. The familial bond developed between the characters were so sweet and funny to watch. I like the type of humor used and the savage dialogues. It was just a light watch. I'll try reading the manga in the future since it's complete because I want to see more of Kokkuri and Kohina. 

In terms of art, I found it adorable. Kohina is usually in doll mode, and the others typically switch between their human-form and animal form. The human-forms are good-looking, while the animal-forms are so cute. I usually have a crush on fox-spirit characters, so that's a bonus.

In terms of the characters, I liked Kohina and Kokkuri. Kohina is such a mood in her coping mechanism. You can see how much she doesn't want to acknowledge her feelings because she's scared to explore new territories. On the other hand, Kokkuri is such a wonderful fox spirit. There were times where he was a bit weird, but you can feel how much he cares for Kohina. I love their bond. Inugami was a bit too weird, but there were rare times where I liked him. Shiragaki is hiding his personality - he is adorable, but there are times when he was too pervy. The other characters weren't that necessary, and they don't contribute much to the plot except for comic reliefs. There isn't much progress to the development of the characters, but I guess you can't expect much from a twelve-episode anime.

NOTE: If you don't want to stick for the whole twelve episodes, only watch the first and last ones. They were the best, and I enjoyed watching it a lot.

SHOULD YOU WATCH IT: If you want something light, heartwarming, and your type of humor involves savage dialogues, stupid interactions, green jokes, then yes.

WOULD I WATCH AGAIN: I probably might, but I would skip some episodes.

SPOILERY THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS

THINGS THAT STILL REMAIN A QUESTION:

• What happened to Kohina's family? Why is she alone?

• What happened in the past between Kohina and Kokkuri? What promise did Kokkuri make with her?

• I don't know what spirits really are in this world. They seem more like ghosts than gods?

THINGS I ENJOYED:

• The whole first episode. It went through a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The beginning was hilarious. Kohina just casually locked the window on Kokkuri. The banter between Kokkuri and Kohina was hilarious. I especially love her asking him different questions that he didn't know the answer to, yet he claims he's better than google. Also, when he said something perverted, she called the police on him! I laughed out loud. Near the end, we got to see Kohina lose Kokkuri, and it was so heartbreaking. I dislike that Kokkuri's method to make Kohina appreciate him is to pretend he left her. I was happy when they were reunited, though.

• Sometimes I'm not sure if Kohina is dumb, or if she just wants to annoy other people HAHAHA. Her line of thought is honestly relatable and such a mood.

• It was funny that Kokkuri thought that Kohina was playing in his shrine when she was young, yet she was putting a curse on somebody.

• I love that the end credits show some random cute animals.

• Kohina's mind games are hilarious. 

• She made Kokkuri have an existential crisis.

• She managed to trick Inugami into accepting that Shigaraki would be the one to walk with him. 

• I love that Kohina enjoys touching the pads of their feet.

• I love that Kohina can't smile on command, yet she was able to smile because she was with Kokkuri-san. It was also adorable that the only reason why she tried smiling was to make sure that Kokkuri won't dislike her.

• I love that Kohina manages to sneak her ramen eating whenever Kokkuri is out. Still, whenever she is not feeling good, Kokkuri lets her eat it. It was adorable.

• I love that one of the rare bonding experience that Inugami and Kokkuri had was when Kohina declared that she was a cat person. Also, the cat was cute.

• I love that Kokkuri's weapon against Inugami was a frying pan. 

• Inugami reminds me of Minato Arisato from Persona 3. 

• It was funny and heartbreaking when Shigaraki played the ramen trick towards Kohina.

• Shigaraki's original animal-form was hideous. I never want to see that again. Also, it's funny whenever he tries to pretend that he's Kohina when interacting with Inugami.

• It was hilarious that nobody cares that Yamamoto-san is an alien, especially since it bothers Kokkuri a lot. Sometimes this has Gintama humor.

• I don't understand how Inugami and Kokkuri were able to enroll at Kohina's school.

• Shigaraki's intervention with the cyclops monster and Kohina was touching. He let her do what she wants because he could tell that she really wants to take care of the cyclops, yet he intervened when the cyclops attacked Kohina. He even got cursed. He didn't tell her the truth to hide her from the pain. I love him for that. Also, it was adorable that he was worried about her because he knew that Kokkuri would be sad if something happened to her.

• I love Kokkuri's protectiveness towards Kohina.

• It was hilarious that Kokkuri that Tama fell in love with him, and that's why she's following him. It was such a misleading scene.

• It hilarious that nobody realized immediately that the doll was not Kohina. Honestly, that doll looked hideous as fuck.

• I felt heartbroken for Kokkuri when he got stuck in his female form. You could tell home much he disliked that form because of the hardships he had to endure. She was pretty, though. I love Shigaraki for comforting her, even though he was a bit pervy towards. The way he changed back to his male form was hilarious. The moment before he returned to normal was sweet. I honestly shipped them a little bit there.

• The first head of the Ichimatsu family was one sick bastard. What a twisted way of putting traps in your storage room. LOL.

• The middle-aged jokes towards Kokkuri, and all his skin-care regiment, was hilarious.

• It's funny that they wore swimsuits to the hot spring as a precaution towards Shigaraki.

• The bald jokes about Kokkuri when it was shedding season was hilarious. The fluffy Kokkuri was adorable.

• I was quite sad for Inugami when nobody tried to chase him when he told them he was running away. I'm glad that he got a little better after that, though. 

• The story about Kureha, and the guy she was waiting for was beautiful. Still, it would've been better if they found out immediately, instead of wondering for a long time.

• It was hilarious that Kokkuri just gave up on being an adult after taking care of baby Inugami and Shigaraki. Also, Kohina almost put them up in a pet shop. I was heartbroken for her, though, when Kokkuri forgot about her.

• The up, up, and dead scene was hilarious.

• The ending was beautiful. I didn't know why Kohina and Kokkuri were accompanying a guy they just met randomly in the streets, but it all made sense by the end, which was heartbreaking. It was just too bad for Inugami that Kokkuri and Kohina forgot about him.

• A phobia of things I cannot sue. Oh my God. HAHAHAHAHA.

• The lawyer's daughter was drinking during Christmas. She seems like an underage too!

• Why does the Dragonball exist in Kohina's storage room??? The reference to other popular materials is hilarious.

• I love that Kokkuri made such a wholesome wish during the New Year's.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE:

• I don't understand why Inugami was so proud of being a stalker. His advances towards Kohina are too scary. She's a child, yet sometimes his approach is very sexual. It made me cringe most of the time, and that's why Inugami is one of my least liked characters. He was slightly better by the end, but he was still somewhat disturbing. It would've been better if his attachment to Kohina was something wholesome. I also disliked that he bullies Kokkuri!

• Sometimes I like tsundere-type characters, yet, I didn't like Jimeko. I get that it was for the humor, but I found her brand of revenge too stupid. Who would try to bully someone by using flowers and spending money on them? Idk I just wanted to facepalm myself during her confrontation with Kohina. 

• I hated Tengu. He was such a disturbing character. 

• Tama was on the fence for me. I love cats, but I didn't like her character design. Also, her hobbies are weird. It was funny, though, that Kohina was able to free herself from her grasps. She's stupid for not believing that Kohina isn't a doll, and not realizing why she doesn't have customers. Her store is creepy.

• I found it sad that they used suicide jokes and sexual harassment jokes.
