Sasha: Okay, time to get down to it and us get some blogging done to start the New Year!
Ariel: Yeah, we've kinda been slacking since ... yeep, like, last September or something?
Sasha: Soooo many things we've been experiencing since then that we could have blogged about!
Ariel: I don't even want to think about it.
Sasha: Anyway, now that we finished watching the bonus season of this show, I figured we could use it as a quick way to get back in the swing of things.
Ariel: Whew! Thank goodness we're only talking about the bonus season! I barely hardly remember the first season, and I even barely-er, hardly-er remember the manga, cause we read that ages ago.
Sasha: Well, I mean, we could still talk about the first season or the manga, or at least the parts we remember. It's not like we only have to talk about the bonus season.
Ariel: Maybe you don't only have to talk about it, but I only have to talk about it on account of it's all I remember.
Sasha: All right, no biggie. In that case, we should --
Ariel: I mean ... I guess I do remember when we started watching the first season this summer I was all, "Wait, did everything happen this fast in the manga?" Because I didn't remember everything happening that fast in the manga.
Sasha: True. The manga took more time getting things going than the show. But before we get too much into it, shouldn't we --
Ariel: Oh! Also, I must remember something more about the manga, because when we watched the bonus season, I was like, "Whoa, this is totally different from the manga. They obviously changed this way around from the original story."
Sasha: Well ... I think that's because we haven't read the part of the manga that the bonus season covers.
Ariel: What do you mean? Haven't we read all of the manga that there is?
Sasha: We've read all of it that's been translated into English, but there's another whole volume that hasn't been translated yet.
Ariel: OMG.
Sasha: What?
Ariel: You meant the whole bonus season was SPOILERS for a part of the manga that we haven't read yet?
Sasha: You didn't know that? I mean, I thought it was pretty obvious considering the end of the main season was pretty much the end of the last volume we read of the manga. Actually, it even went a little further than the last volume of the manga.
Ariel: I just thought that meant the people who did the show ran out of stuff from the manga and just figured they'd wing it. I didn't know there was a whole other volume we never read!
Sasha: Hmm. I guess you really don't want to hear what I read on Wikipedia getting ready for this post then.
Ariel: What? I mean, I don't even want to hear that you were reading on Wikipedia to get ready at all. Are you doing that before every post so you can show me up?
Sasha: No, why would I be trying to show you up?
Ariel: Because you think I'm lazy! But just because you're going and doing a bunch of extra homework before we start blogging doesn't mean I'm lazy!
Sasha: Those two things aren't connected at all, Aers. Plus, we already said at the start of this post that we've been slacking about posting, which basically means we've both been lazy.
Ariel: No it doesn't! Slacking just means we sort of haven't been doing it. Not that we're being lazy about it. It's like how "chillaxing" is put together from "chilling" and "relaxing." Only with slacking, it's "sort of" and "lacking" that you're putting together.
Sasha: Okay, you totally just now made that up to keep from having to admit we were being lazy about posting because then you'd be admitting you're lazy sometimes.
Ariel: No, I just now made it up because it's work making something like that up, so making it up proves I'm not lazy. Not everybody is unlazy enough to go around making up new words, you know.
Sasha: It's not a new word, though -- it's totally a word that already existed. What are you even talking about?
Ariel: It's a new word that just happens to be spelled the same as an alxisting word, which is another word I just made up by combining "already" and "existing." There's lots of words that are spelled the same as other words, you know.
Sasha: Like "lots." I know.
Ariel: Not just "like" lots! Actually lots!
Sasha: No, I mean "lots" is more than one word. Like there are parking lots and also lots of words that are spelled the same.
Ariel: Oh, I get it.
Sasha: Also like "like." Like, you can like some one and someone can also be like someone else.
Ariel: Ooh! Or you can can someone like firing them or you can can them like boiling them in a jar to keep them from spoiling.
Sasha: That's pretty dark.
Ariel: Sorry. I was going to say like you can can vegetables by boiling them in a jar, but then I realized "them" was way shorter than "vegetables" so I just decided to use "them" because probably somebody must have done that at some point.
Sasha: Cannibals, I guess?
Ariel: OOH! Right! Like, most people aren't cannibals, but they are can-able if you're a cannibal and want to can them.
Sasha: ...
Ariel: If you don't believe me, I bet you could look it up on Wikipedia, since it seems like that's your thing.
Sasha: I don't even remember why I brought up Wikipedia in the first place.
Ariel: Because you said I didn't want to hear about it.
Sasha: Right. Oh yeah, the thing is, on Wikipedia I saw that not only was there a manga before the anime but also there was a "light novel" before the manga.
Ariel: What the heck is a light novel?
Sasha: It's a kind of Japanese novel that's mostly for a younger audience, written so it's easy to read and with illustrations in a manga sort of style. Apparently, quite a few anime shows come from manga that come from light novels.
Ariel: Okay? I mean, I don't know why I wouldn't want to hear about that.
Sasha: Because the light novel series for "There's No Freaking Way I'll Be Your Lover! Unless ..." is like, eight books long, and the stuff we just watched in the bonus season is from maybe book number four. Which means there's four other whole books of spoiler material out there for parts of the manga and show that haven't even been made yet.
Ariel: That's crazypants.
Sasha: But I guess we don't have to worry about that, since we'd have to go out of our way to get the light novels and read them in order to have anything spoiled by them.
Ariel: Unless someone kidnaps us and forces us to!
Sasha: That seems kind of unlikely, though.
Ariel: Well ... yeah, but even if it's unlikely, now I have to worry about it a little bitty-bit where before I didn't have to worry about it at all.
Sasha: Maybe what we should worry about more is actually posting about the anime?
Ariel: Whew, I'm sort of tired now, though. From all the worrying and all the word-inventing. And before you say anything, "tired" isn't the same thing as "lazy!"
Sasha: Actually, I was going to say I'm sort of tired now too. Let's try talking about the show again tomorrow, how about.
Ariel: Sure!
Sasha and Ariel: See you tomorrow then, everybody!
