Shining Hearts: Ending of Disappointment Episode 12

I’ve really taken procrastination to a whole new level with this one, haven’t I? It’s been, what, six weeks since it ended? I struggled to motivate myself to rewatch this episode, partly because it was so boring, but mostly because I knew full well that anything I might write about it would be even worse than the rubbish I write about half decent episodes.

However, I’m a completionist. I can’t just forget that I was ever following this series. I have to write SOMETHING! I deliberately ended my 11th episode post with the promise of a conclusion, because I was determined to see it through. Otherwise, the fact that searching for Shining Hearts on my blog only brings up 11 posts would continue to annoy me. 😛 So a warning to all readers: this post is largely to satisfy my own mind. You don’t have to read it!

Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Penultimate Episode 11

Yeah… I’m running out of clever titles and post formats by this point.

Shining Hearts: Bread of Angriness Episode 10

Right, that does it. I’ve put up with this series’ nonsense for long enough. I’m going to be mean about everything and everyone in this episode, whether it’s warranted or not. Time to show the blogosphere why I’m called AngryJellyfish. I’ll leave the explanations about the latter part of my username for another day…

Hearts that Shine: Episode 9

Rhyming couplets were suggested by medievalotaku,

so that is exactly what AngryJellyfish’ll do~

Shining Hearts: Shiawase no Pan Episode 8

Le Coeur bakery finally has its oven back, and demand for bread is soaring! So much so that the delivery orders were too much for Neris to handle alone, so I, Rick, decided to help out by delivering half of them myself. Time seemed to fly by with the two of us working together, until only two deliveries remained. Neris headed off towards the tool shop, while I handled Flora’s Bar.

In a bid to further shorten the word count of my Shining Hearts posts, I shall present my thoughts on episode seven in person, on video (please forgive the involuntary, nervous ‘tic’ sounds).

Shining Arts: Shiawase no Paint Episode 6

Once more, I make myself available to work for nothing for a set time period, and it doesn’t go according to plan – I’m no longer volunteering at Deudraeth Cyf, after the company found themselves too busy working on various projects all over the county to focus on giving me something to do. Ah well, at least I didn’t get fired this time…

So now that I have all the free time in the world again, I present my slightly overdue post for episode 6 of Shining Hearts… in the form of edited screen caps… because I can. I may start using these visible captions instead of invisible ones in all future posts. 🙂

The episode begins with Xiaomei and bread, the two best things in this series so far!

Melting Hearts: Shiawase no Ice Cream Episode 5

My first day of volunteering didn’t go quite as planned – for some reason their computers wouldn’t let me log onto them, so I was sent home after just an hour. Still, at least that gave me time to write this post. 🙂

Previously, palace guards showed up and confiscated the plot. That’s it, the missing part of the doll is locked up in some vault, never to be seen again. Problem solved! The rest of the series will all be about bread. Except for this episode, which is about ice cream.

Shining Hearts: Xiaoase no Nyan Episode 4

Starting next week I’ll be volunteering again for eight weeks, this time at Deudraeth Cyf, which should be a fantastic opportunity! This will conveniently end the week before my birthday and graduation ceremony, which is also the first week of the Summer anime season. Here’s hoping everything goes according to plan, unlike last time… Either way, expect delays in blog posts for the next two months. 😛

This episode properly introduces Xiaomei, the catgirl antique dealer. For this reason alone, I had considered putting it in my green top 3 in last week’s episode rankings… but instead settled with not putting it in last place. I hope she’ll forgive me.

Shining Haiku: Shiawase no Poetry Episode 3

My Shining Hearts posts have low view,

so I thought to myself “What to do?”

Then I figured, why not

while the show still lacks plot

blog ep three in the form of Haiku!

“Wake up!”, said Amil,

“Random girl on the seashore!

I’ll go get more help”.
