312) Transcendental, Infinite, Everything, You

I am sorry if I say too much

I am tipsy on four loco

Shotgunned blue razz

My friend took electric lemonade

Before the session

We tried to keep it tight

Meaning to keep it.. grounded

To be honest, I don’t know if we did

But we saved the viscount

Killed the bloody mask

My character is panicked

Looking for our king

The viscount said he went East

We have a book we can read

But not remember

What a conundrum

I know you said you might need distance

And that’s alright

That’s all I can give, anyway

Your absence is a deep winter to me

This empty space where you briefly stood

Is frightening

I feel it in every cell

Maybe I’ll eat again today

Thank you

For everything

In case you do not feel my gratitude yet

I never feel it’s enough

For anyone

How monotonous I say my thank you’s

How I am slipping so often

I must be propped up by helpful hands

I hope I don’t disturb anyone

In my yearning for electricity

But I miss you so dearly

You are so inspiring

How can I go my whole life knowing you exist

As another wonder of the world

And not be near you

Thank you for what you’ve said to me

Those things you wrote-

Always

I want to be what you value most

I want to hear your phone call to me

I want you to find me whenever you can

In any moment

Forever

I was trying to find ways

I guess, I simply couldn’t

I thought it could be that simple

Instead, I am waiting for you

I will love you like nobody else

If you would let me

There is so much here it is bursting forth

But not being able to be near you

Is like being without my shadow

A part of me, essential in the light

Ripped away

Into a stunted and uncanny reality

Like looking through mist

And seeing your reflection there

I love you so incredibly

I want to bring you into this world of mine

To play at dnd

To see my friends

Play jackbox

Anything, really

Let me show you the love I’ve felt

From those who’ve given it

It doesn’t compare to you

But I want you to

To be here, always

I want you to exist alongside me

In a way that you won’t

I am sorry if you need to be unkind

Cold and distant

As I am to me

But perhaps I will do laundry

Dishes

And sleep in my bed

I just long for your hands again

And I miss your voice like my own

I am choking on words I wanted to say

But were ripped from me

How dreadful is this existence of mine

How torturing

Harrowing

How every moment without you feels.

I can fill it

Certainly, it can be filled

But what comes of love?

The touch of a friend?

I could never feel electrified by your hands again

I am some, second-hand thing

That you desire but don’t want to see

Because I have bloody knuckles

Because I am unkind to me

And I’m frustrated at this rift

Torn by something I did not predict

I just

Miss you

In every moment

I want to hear you speak to me

I want to know you are more than a memory

Some vestigial thing that I once had

But has grown inoperative

I was reminded of who you were

What you are to me

God above,

You are fucking everything

All the good I feel is a fraction of the moments I spend with you

I want to make you happy

God, if I could have one fucking thing in my life

I want to make you happy

I am sorry for the ridges in my wrist

The bruises of my knuckles

The starvation of my stomach

The hardwood of my home

I feel responsible

I feel I need to atone

Whether you blame me or not

I have ruined the things I wanted most

The things I never wanted to hurt

God, you were so TRANSCENDENTAL

YOU

YOU, LOVEBUG

I want to show you this world of ours

I want to give you all I can give

I want to share every moment

I am here

I love you so immutably

Whatever you need, I can be

Whenever you need me, I can be there

Show me that you exist, once more

I wait in my insubordinate passion

Sorry for being confused

For reaching where I shouldn’t

I thought it would be simple

It wasn’t

So, I wait

Hands, hooves and all

I want you to see me in this Gudetama shirt

I’ve got new hats to try on

New pants

I miss you

I might be a simple machine

Acting within parameters

But all I can think about

Is how much

01101001 00100000 01101100 01101111 01110110 01100101 00100000 01111001 01101111 01110101

.. / .-.. --- ...- . / -.-- --- ..-

I love you

More than anything ever always

I don’t want to be second place

I want to be at the altar

To speak unceasing vows

I want to show the world how infinite you are

Gonna be making a kinda ranking/opinion list of the various Sanrio animes I’ve been watching over the past year or so. This will be edited accordingly as I cross some series off my list. I’m not really a writer so my writing might be confusing but I’ll try my best to keep it comprehensive.

First some kinda... not really ground rules but still like something I should say.

I’m not watching every Sanrio anime out there. Just stuff that’s readily available on youtube or anime streaming sites. I’m not gonna go out of my way to download a torrent of an old OVA or something.

I’m also passing on Show By Rock, Sanrio Boys and the Gudetama series. I don’t really gel with those characters and Gudetama is still technically going strong with over 1,000 episodes and I don’t have the time or energy to care about that. Mr. Men/Little Miss will also be skipped over as it was acquired by Sanrio after the shows were made.

Anyways enough bs:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MOVIES:

Joe and the Rose: The first Sanrio film and made by Takashi Yanase. Bittersweet and short. (Alright) *Subbed*

Little Jumbo: Pretty sad, another Takashi Yanase film. (Alright) *Subbed*

The Mouse and his Child: Honestly kinda boring. Feels like a movie you’d find in the bargain bin or one of those movies you didn’t watch much of as a kid but you still had the tape of it. (Skip) *Dubbed*

Ringing Bell: Yet another Takashi Yanase film and it’s the most famous one for a good reason. Honestly better than the first two of his movies and something I could watch again and again *even if that sounds horrible lol* (EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED!) *Subbed and Dubbed*

Metamorphoses/Winds of Change: This one’s kinda hard to pin down. I didn’t mind watching it but it can be boring to some. I’d say give it a shot for the first 20 minutes or so and if you’re not interested you can skip it since it’s all vignettes. I do enjoy the disco tracks for it tho. (Alright) *Dubbed*

Nutcracker Fantasy: Really rad adaptation. Honestly the best stop motion movie ever. (EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED!) *Subbed and Dubbed*

Unico: As a whole, the series is golden, but the best ones *and the easiest ones to find* are The Fantastic Adventures of Unico and Unico in the Island of Magic. Don’t sleep on White Cloud and Black Feather if you can find it tho. (EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED!) *Subbed for White Cloud Black Feather, Subbed and Dubbed for Adventures and Magic Island, Raw for Save Our Fragile Earth*

Oshin: This one slipped under my movie radar until I went onto Sanrio’s wikipedia page. It doesn’t seem to be subbed but there’s a VHS rip on youtube that I watched recently and tbh it’s just meh. Other than some pretty iffy stuff that would require a content warning it’s just not that interesting. I think it’d be better if you possibly watched the drama it’s based off of since it seems to be for the fans of the drama but as a stand alone movie it’s just kinda whatever. Maybe if it was subbed it would be a little more interesting. (Meh) *Raw*

The Sea Prince and the Fire Child: Another dope movie from Sanrio. I enjoy the art style and backgrounds for this movie a lot. (EXTREMELY RECOMMENDED!) *Subbed and Dubbed*

The Ideon (A Contact/Be Invoked): I found the Ideon series as a whole to be kinda boring to watch. I’m not a mech person so this doesn’t particularly appeal to me. I guess these movies could be used instead to watch the series instead of the show since A Contact is a recap movie and Be Invoked is an alternate ending but still it wasn’t really my kinda thing. But many other people enjoy it so it’s a shrug from me. (Meh/Skip if mech and depression is not your thing) *Subbed*

A Journey Through Fairyland: Feels like another bargain bin movie but not as boring as A Mouse and his Child was. I’ve seen this compared to Fantasia but with a plot since it’s got a lot of classical music inserts and that seems about accurate. (Alright) *Dubbed*

Mouse Story (George and Gerald’s Adventure): Really good and really fun! Wanted to watch this for a long time since it was paired with the Cinnamoroll movie! (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Cinnamoroll the Movie: Surprisingly, I didn’t vibe with this on first watching. I was hoping it would be as good as the Hamtaro movies but it didn’t just jam as hard as it should’ve. It’s still really cute tho! (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed*

Jewelpet the Movie (Sweets Dance Princess): Not a bad little movie. I heard this one bombed at the box office which is sad but it’s really not as bad as one might think. Prolly did better with the kids that watch the show instead of the parents that were prolly dragged along. That being said, you def need to watch the show first before watching the movie. (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed*

Onegai My Melody (Yu and Ai): A small short that was shown before the Jewelpet movie. Just a silly little short of Kuromi trying to ruin My Melo’s barbecue. (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed*

Go-chan and His Forest Friends (Moko-chan and Marvelous Creatures): This is another Sanrio movie I have just discovered recently. To my surprise it was actually officially subbed and put onto youtube! I’m hoping the sequel will eventually get the same treatment. Anyways it’s cute! I think it’s based on a TV mascot and Sanrio just helped with the animation which is great to hear since I used to think that the Jewelpet movie kinda screwed them out of making movies for a while. It’s short, less than an hour and if you need something short and cute to watch then I’d recommend it! (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed*

Jewelpet Attack Travel!: This was going to be a short played before another movie unrelated to Sanrio but COVID happened and both of them got post-poned. IDK if the movie proper ever released but a few months ago the Jewelpet short aired on NicoNico in a special stream. It’ll be subbed soonventually but I thought it was good~ (Pretty Fun!) *Raw but might be Subbed in the future*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

TV SHOWS/OVAS

Kitty and Mimmy’s New Umbrella: I believe this is the first short involving Kitty. Just Kitty and Mimmy mucking about with a new umbrella... nothing too exciting outside of the fact it’s the first Sanrio short with Kitty. (Alright) *Raw*

Sanrio Anime Festival: A mixed bag of Sanrio adaptations of different fairy tales featuring different characters as well as original stories. Some of them were dubbed into English under Sanrio’s Hello Kitty and Keroppi VHS library. (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed and Dubbed depending on the OVA*

Sanrio Video: Another mixed bag of various Sanrio characters and stories. They pull from popular characters such as Kitty and Keroppi but include some obscure friends such as Vaudeville Duo and Patty and Jimmy. Again, some of these stories got dubbed and more recently, fansubbed by a youtube channel called Starshooter. (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed and Dubbed depending on the OVA*

Hello Kitty’s Furry Tale Theater: One of the most famous Sanrio works in the States at least. Not too bad, if you like old 80′s/90′s cartoons you’ll like it. (Pretty Fun!) *Dubbed*

Flint the Time Detective: Sanrio’s only shounen series so far. If you enjoy monster collecting series, you’d enjoy the heck out of this. Some episodes were pretty boring tho but when it’s 39 episodes long you’re gonna get some lame episodes. (Pretty Fun!) *Subbed and Dubbed*

Hello Kitty’s Paradise: Paradise in Japan is mostly a bunch of Kitty shorts with some 7 minute animes (including the later introduced Sugarbunnies, Hello Kitty’s Apple Forest, etc.) and some music videos from Puroland. AFAIK the third season of Kitty’s Paradise is what got dubbed and distributed over here. It’s cute, it’s prolly what a lot of people grew up with. It’s not as good as the Sanrio Video OVAs but they’re still nice. (Pretty Fun!) *Dubbed for Season 3, Raw for others*

Hello Kitty’s Stump Village: Essentially Pingu but with Sanrio characters. There’s really not much substance to it IMO, it’s cute of course but it could’ve been better. I do lowkey enjoy that the dub narrator (Wendee Lee) reads her narration like a mom telling a story. It is better than Adventures of Kitty and Friends tho. (Alright) *Dubbed*

The Adventures of Hello Kitty and Friends: Gonna be real, this one is big boring. This is a good example of a bargain bin DVD series. I don’t mind some mindless entertainment but this is just really bland mush. Writing isn’t good neither is the animation or the voice acting. My only positive about this show is the fact that they use rare friends for background characters like Kururin and Paupipo. (Skip) *Dubbed*

Onegai My Melody: Here we go, we’re getting into the most excellent stuff! If you enjoy either My Melody or Kuromi and also wanna see where Kuromi got her start then you better be watching this series. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Onegai My Melody (Kuru Kuru Shuffle): Another excellent season of My Melo and Kuromi going at it. If you watched the first season you better watch this one too! (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Onegai My Melody (Sukkiri): Now this is where My Melo takes a little bit of a hit. Episodes have been halved to around 10 minutes. However this doesn’t mean it’s all bad. It does shave away a lot of the boring extra human plots and mostly leaves it to My Melo, Kuromi and their critter friends. People that enjoyed the middle school drama of the first two seasons might not enjoy it but I thought it was fine. (Pretty fun!) *Raw*

Onegai My Melody (Kirara): And this is where My Melo tanks. In between a slow start, shoddy animation for most of the series and bland plot points it’s really sad to see My Melo and Kuromi’s show reduced to this. And it’s also big sad that this is one of the few animations that has my absolute favorite Sanrio characters of all time, Lloromannic in it. Berry and Cherry got robbed. (Skip) *Raw*

Sugarbunnies: A cute little mini series about the Sugarbunnies and their myriad of friends in France. Each episode is about 7 minutes long so you can essentially watch the entire show in one afternoon. Keeps it light and easy going for those few minutes and it doesn’t really get boring either. Characterization of the buns is light since there’s about 14 of them in total but it’s not much of a dealbreaker. (Pretty fun!) *Subbed*

Sugarbunnies Chocolat: A sequel to the first season. More or less of the same as season 1 with the sweets competition except with a few new characters and more of a focus on chocolate sweets. There is an interesting story that happens near the end of the third of the show! (Pretty fun!) *Subbed*

Sugarbunnies Fleur: Sugarbunnies steer away from the sweets and now they’re focusing on reviving an old garden in the forest at the back of Sophia’s school. There’s not really a change in tone except there’s just no competitions to worry about. Still as cute as ever! (Pretty fun!) *Raw, subs in progress!*

Hello Kitty’s Apple Forest (Fantasy): Another show that aired on Kitty’s Paradise. This show is another short one like Sugarbunnies and involved Kitty and Mimmy being isekai’d thanks to a magical apple amulet. They’re asked to cure the Apple Forest’s Fairy Queen from a sleeping curse. Unfortunately for them, flying squirrels Monga and Montine are up to no good and try to stop the twins. I enjoyed it! I do enjoy how short it was (13 episodes) so you can speed through it easily. I’d definitely would recommend it for a lazy afternoon watch. I also enjoyed all the fairy tale references in all the episodes. (Pretty fun!) *Raw, will be picked up for subs soonventually*

Hello Kitty’s Apple Forest (Mystery): A sequel to Fantasy, it changes it up with Kitty and Mimmy solving various mysteries all around the Apple Forest and trying to figure out where the prince of the neighboring kingdom has disappeared too. Kitty and Mimmy this time around get magical outfits to wear each episode. Personally I think this is the weakest of the Apple Forest trilogy but again, it’s something you can plow through in an afternoon so it’s not like watching a long 52 episode show. (Alright) *Raw, will be picked up for subs soonventually*

Hello Kitty’s Apple Forest (Parallel Town): After Mystery, the Apple Forest begs Kitty for a brand new adventure and dumps her in a town similar to her home town of London except populated by more human like fairies. Kitty joins fairy girl Emily in finding Mimmy who mysteriously disappeared in the forest and figuring out who in the world Akuro is and what her goals are. This is a bit longer than both Fantasy and Mystery combined. I definitely recommEnd checking it out for Akuro alone if you wanna see what a Kuromi Kitty counterpart. (Pretty fun!) *Raw, will be picked up for subs soonventually*

Usahana (Yumemiru Ballerina): The only animated series that has Usahana in it! Aired alongside Hello Kitty Apple Forest. Usahana dreams of being a ballerina and is excited to go to Etoile Ballet Academy and become a ballerina. Joined by new friends, Rose, Mary, Anzu, Ivy, Nuts, Sakura and rival Azami, Hana will be sure to make her dream come true. Gonna be real, this show ends randomly. Hana is still in school doing her best but it just ends with no real conclusion. It’s also very short with only 7 episodes. Not sure what the thought process there was making it so short but since Hana barely has any anime appearances besides this one, she really needs a reboot! It is EXTREMELY good to see her tho and I love her little friends including the twins Rose and Mary, they’re such scamps! (Pretty fun!) *Raw, will be picked up for subs soonventually*

Kero Kero Keroppi (Hasunoue Town Kiki Ippatsu!): Also airing alongside Hello Kitty Apple Forest. This includes Keroppi and friends gaining super powers and acting like a sentai squad to save their town from an evil toad scientist. It’s also a short anime that didn’t even last as long as Usahana with having 6 episodes. TBH it’s not even that cute. Keroppi and friends get more human like proportions and it’s really strange and kinda unsettling. Really not recommended which is sad since Keroppi is such a cool little guy. (Skip) *Raw*

Charmmy Kitty OVAS: Composed of three different OVAs, it’s interesting to see the adventures of Kitty’s pet cat and Daniel’s pet hamster (Sugar). While the first OVA is just 30 minutes of them goofing off around the house with barely a word the second and third ones is where they get juicy. The second one introduces some secondary characters like Sugar’s friends and Charmmy’s neighbors. The third one is just a straight up retelling of Alice in Wonderland but with Charmmy. All in all it’s cute! I’m glad that Charmmy has a little love to her besides merch. (Pretty fun!) *Raw, will be picked up for subs soonventually*

Jewelpet: And here comes the big one. This is Sanrio’s biggest show they’ve ever had spanning at least 6 seasons. (That means like 300 episodes I gotta go through rip) but anyways. The first show starts as kind of a “Gotta Catch ‘em All” show of finding the Jewelpet of the day and having them solve whatever problem happens thanks to Diana. It’s a solid opening season especially since every pet gets their own episode which is big important since some of the later pets get shoved into the background for the more popular ones. (Pretty fun!) *Currently being subbed*

Jewelpet Tinkle: A magical girl series where Ruby and Labra become the partners of Akari Sakura and lead her journey to become the JewelStar. Favorite girl Labra joins the cast permanently and Sango is featured heavily! I can see why this is the more popular of the seasons tho I do lowkey miss how much of a dipshit Ruby was in the other series. (Pretty fun!) *Subbed*

Jewelpet Sunshine: This is just an extended shitpost of a kid’s anime and I love every minute of it. Ruby and friends are now in their senior year of high school and are just trying to survive. References are everywhere and nothing’s funnier than seeing a straight up hearing “Born to Be Wild” while a polar bear rides an alpaca like a motorcycle. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Aggretsuko: TBH, I think EVERYBODY knows how good this show is. Personally I still have to finish it. I always just watch the first season and then totally forget about the rest. I KNOW it’s good, it’s just me getting off my ass to watch it. Also remember to watch the TBS shorts when you find them. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed and Dubbed, Subbed for TBS shorts*

Let’s Play with Hello Kitty: A short series aimed towards a very very young crowd. Follows Kitty and her new neighbors Eric and Amy and their friend Harry as they learn about the world around them. It’s cute, but it’s definitely not for me. I’m surprised it’s officially dubbed but it seems like it’s only on Apple TV or some obtuse service like that. (Alright) *Subbed and Dubbed*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WEB SERIES

Chibimaru: A bunch of shorts featuring Chibimaru the puppy and his friends. Not much substance to them since they’re all about 20 or so seconds long, but they’re good for a quick watch especially if you enjoy Chibimaru. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Raw, no dialogue*

Pankunchi: More substance than the Chibimaru shorts with dialogue and a minute long runtime, it features two types of bread and a panda that eats bread going into a magical pocket world. (Pretty fun!) *Subbed*

Nyokki and Penne: There’s only two shorts of these kittens and they’re not bad. I wouldn’t mind if there were more. So I can’t really say too much about it (Alright) *Raw, no dialogue*

Tenorikuma: A stop motion series about extremely small red pandas running a cafe. I never see these little guys much these days even on Hello Sweet Days. But the shorts are OK. (Alright) *Raw, no dialogue*

Little Hello Kitty: This is a strange one. It’s about a plush Hello Kitty going on a big adventure with a bunch of different creatures looking for a home. After 15 or so episodes it just ends with a dance number with no closure. I kinda found it boring and a little hard to watch since the English voice acting was kinda... off? Really just people reading their lines and not putting anything into it. I wouldn’t recommend it. (Skip) *Dubbed*

Hummingmint: One of my absolute favorite modern Sanrio characters. Hummingmint explores the seasons around her. Rather than being fully animated, it’s just a puppet. It also has a live action portion near the end with merch based on the short. It’s really sad they only made four of these because I love these shorts so much and I wish Hummingmint was featured more prominently lately. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Raw, no dialogue*

Marumofubiyori: Another one of my favorite modern Sanrio characters. Tells the story of an extremely lazy baby polar bear living at an aquarium employee’s home. What’s good is that Sanrio made official subs for these as well<3 I’m hoping there’s more sometime soon. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Cogimyun: And yet another favorite modern Sanrio character, this is about a little flour spirit that wants to become a rice ball. The are two different series of this, one where Cogi is looking after her grandpa’s apartment and meets all the wacky tenants of the building and a second slice of life where she’s in kindergarten. Both are must watch IMO. (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Hello Kitty’s Supercute Adventures: Very small webisodes of various Sanrio characters. I love that the background cast includes characters like Baku and Doki Doki Yummychums and the fact that they added in Cinnamon after the second season. Really good if you need a quick pick me up. (Pretty fun!) *Dubbed*

Hello Kitty and Friends Mini Tales 3D: Another webisode youtube series. This is def something made to sell playsets and for little little kids. It’s cute but it’s not as good as Supercute Adventures. (Skip) *Raw, no dialogue*

Sweet Moments with Hello Kitty: Very short minute long webisodes of Kitty doing day to day stuff. It’s cute. Nothing special. (Alright) *Raw, no dialogue*

Kuromi’s Pretty Journey: Kuromi returns in her own series along with her BFF Baku and she’s traveling the globe with new friends in toe to try and find her long lost sister Romina. It’s a short series you can watch in like an hour and it’s thankfully officially subbed! (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Subbed*

Cinnamon Anime Da Mon: A series of youtube shorts featuring Cinnamon and his friends in their day to day. It has the animated debut of Cinnamon’s cat, Shirotaro. Currently as of writing there are about 45 episodes with more being added every few days. Recommended for any Cinnamoroll fan! (EXTREMELY EXCELLENT!) *Raw*

Beatcats Nekosta: This is kinda iffy to put on here, but the youtube description says it’s a short anime so I might as well. Nekosta is essentially a vlog-ish kind of anime for Beatcats and they answer questions and go into detail about their history. Animation wise, it’s really just them sitting down and talking and most of the animation is just tweens so it’s not THAT exciting. It definitely could use some subs since I’m not that great at Japanese yet. Currently there’s about 8 episodes with possibly more being made soon. (Alright, would only really recommend if you’re a Beatcats fan) *Raw*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Uh yeah, I can’t write. Enjoy a shitty long post that’ll be updated eventually when I watch like everything else.

#Mika shushup #Long post #A long long post of dumb Sanrio opinions #Sanrio anime #I'll prolly tag it as that so I remember where it is when I come back to it.
