Thanks Tsukki for the segment introduction! Here’s my round-up of posts from last week:
- ED: Cinderella Step | Sunday Salutations: Not going to lie, this song has been on constant repeat the last week or two.
- [Tag Game!] 5 Flaming Hotties: I got tagged by Mel to complete this! I decided to stay away from the usual suspects when I did this post.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 19 | Favorite Friendship: I choose my favorite bromance in all of KnB.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 20 | Favorite Ability: In which I choose Kise’s ability.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 21 | Favorite School: Of the school’s you’d pick, who would you choose?
- [KnB Challenge] Day 22 | Favorite Team Uniform: Kaijo has a pretty snazzy team uniform. I personally like the colorway.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 23 | Favorite Match: Is this Kise week? I talk about my favorite match, where Kise unleashes Perfect Copy to the fullest.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 24 | Least Favorite Match: I hate cheaters and dirty players, so this is why Kirisaki Daichi is my least favorite.
- [KnB Challenge] Day 25 | Something I Wish I Knew More About: The shadowy character that is Akashi; I really wish we knew more about this character that had the potential to become a really great one.

I’m going to do something a bit different here. I won’t just link anime related posts. I’m opening this up to gaming, architecture, art, anything I’ve found worthwhile on the internet! (I’ve crossed our architecture and art as I’m creating a new series on this subject matter since they’re not anime-related)
WordPress:
- N/A I didn’t get to catch up with anyone last week.
Non-Wordpress:
- N/A I haven’t caught up on other websites this week yet either.

OWLS POSTS:
We are a group of otaku bloggers who promotes acceptance of all individuals regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and disability. We emphasize the importance of respect, kindness, and tolerance to every human being.
Our November tour looks at the theme of “Diplomacy”. The prompt is as follows:
Whenever we have a disagreement with someone, we use our words to express our thoughts and opinions. However, there are those who would rather use fists instead of words, those who forget that being “right” isn’t the most important thing, and those who lose sight of compromising and acknowledging differences in opinion and belief. Diplomacy is an important skill and tactic that not many of us have or are able to utilize properly especially in “social media wars” for sensitive issues and anime discourse—we just express our opinions without really listening.
For this month’s prompt, we will be exploring some of the best negotiations scenes in pop culture media and discuss how effective these diplomatic moments are and what we can learn from them. We will also discuss why communication and listening are important traits to have and whether or not there are other means to enforce peace.Whenever we have a disagreement with someone, we use our words to express our thoughts and opinions.
