Baby Princess 3D Paradise 0 [Love] – A high school senior named Yotaro thought he was an only child, until he met his real mother and discovered that she has nineteen daughters, from zero to eighteen years-old. He ends up living with his “true family.” Cue to harem routes.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: I’m going to pretend I never saw this…
Hato-kun: Hilarious. How can they even call this a slice of life. If anyones life is actually like this, I feel sorry for them.
Zabobinator: 9 times 19 equals 171 months of pregnancy. I…I cannot watch this. No.
Foshizzel: Holy crap 19 daughters?! Sounds like the plot of some bad H anime..
anaaga: One conclusion – the mother’s a hoe. Even if it has incest, I’m not watching it.
Ness: . . .
Hoshi: Wait…WHAT?
Hime: And I repeat; lol, what?
Jrow: Did you know the average age of American soldiers in Vietnam was 19? Anywho, nice voice cast and some hot sisters. Gotta give it a shot.
Karakuri: Wait. 19 sisters and this is a harem anime? This has incest written all over it.
Sassy: HAHAHA! But it has a pretty nice seiyuu lineup (for me). I’ll watch this if Kanae Ito gets more than 2 lines.
Kyokai: LOL. LMAO. ROTFL. That is all.

anaaga: A-adorable! Cu-cute! Will watch!
Ness: Sounds boring…
Hoshi: I tend to be very picky with slice-of-life anime, so as of now, a pass for me until someone convinces me.
Hime: What’s with all these boring ass slice of life shows?
Jrow: Sucky art. Imma say no thanks to this.
Karakuri: …What?
Sassy: Hahaha maybe. That trailer is awesome.
Kyokai: Slice of life has to be more engaging for me to watch it. Looks like another flash animation stuff. Skipping.

Saiyuki Gaiden – 500 years before the story of Saiyuki, a heretic child with golden eyes is brought into Heaven. He is given into the reluctant care of a minor deity named Konzen, the nephew of the Merciful Goddess Kanzeon Bosatsu. Konzen eventually gives the child the name “Goku”. Goku becomes friends with two other minor gods, Marshal Tenpou and General Kenren of the Western Army of Heaven. He also meets a strange little boy who seems to be his own age, the War Prince Nataku. Although Goku is happy in his new home, Heaven is not kind to heretics. There are those who would use Nataku and Goku as tools in an attempt to seize the throne of Heaven, and Konzen, Tenpou, and Kenren may not be able to save them.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: It’s taking all of my effort not to bust out the caps lock on this comment…Just know that I love saiyuki, have read the gaiden manga, love the seiyuu, and will probably gnaw off the leg of anyone who doesn’t let me blog this.
Hato-kun: I do not know what this is. So no.
Zabobinator: I’m gonna leave this one to you OC. xD
Foshizzel: No thanks! Looks alright but not my type of show.
anaaga: The whole reason why I’m going to watch it is because I’m going to think of this as a yaoi show, and every maleXmale interaction is a foreplay before sex. Yeah, that’s me.
Ness: Never seen the anime series, it’s been on my plan to watch list for a long while now.
Hoshi: Don’t know, don’t really care…
Hime: Big fan of Saiyuki, not so much Gaiden.
Jrow: Never seen Saiyuki.
Karakuri: Not that interested.
Sassy: What is Saiyuki Gaiden.
Kyokai: It’s on my watch-list but not on priority. I might check out the manga first.

Hato-kun: Wow, ten years? I’ll watch this. Higurashi was alright. BUT UMINEKO WAS BETTER OH MY GOD WHERE IS SEASON TWO.
Zabobinator: I have never watched Higurashi, have never wanted to and never will.

Hime: Only caught random episodes here and there. Kinda funny but nothing special.

Hellsing Ultimate 8 – Hellsing, a secret organization of the British government, have long been battling supernatural threats to keep the people safe from creatures of the night. The current leader, Integra Wingates Hellsing controls her own personal army to eliminate the undead beings, but even her highly trained soldiers pale in comparison to her most trusted vampire exterminator, a man by the name of Alucard, who is actually a powerful vampire himself. Along with Integra’s mysterious butler and Alucard’s new vampire minion, Seras Victoria, The Hellsing Organization must face not only regular ghouls and vampires, but a rivaling secret organization from the Vatican, and Millennium, an enigmatic group of madmen spawned by a certain war over 50 years ago… Plotting to plunge England, and perhaps the entire world, into war. The eighth volume of Hellsing Ultimate marks the beginning of the third and final season, which will have three volumes.Trailer: Show ▼

Overcooled: I love my Hellsing, but I’m behind on these…Gah..maybe I can catch up..
Hato-kun: Never watched Hellsing. Pass for me.
Zabobinator: Never watched and not too interested in doing so. No time for this one.
Foshizzel: Ah Hellsing! The best vampire series ever! I think I have a few of these to watch, love the animation quality and of course more Seras!
anaaga: I will watch!…from the first one first…
Ness: FINALLY! Of course, I’ll be watching this. Seras Victoria is such a BAMF!
Hoshi: Never watched Hellsing either. Insta-pass~
Hime: Will catch up if they include more Young Walter for me to adore.
Jrow: I liked the first two Hellsings, but with such a long wait in between episodes, I find it difficult to get back in the groove and really push myself to watch the rest. This is one where I want a box set that I can purchase and make up my own little watching schedule.
Karakuri: If I can catch up in time, I’ll watch this…
Sassy: Gonna pass on this.
Kyokai: Nakata Jouji, HHNNGG! Alucard is one true vampire and damn you, all you glittery bishies; I would rather have a frightening version with red eyes, who gives me the creeps instead. Yes, sometimes twisted stuff is win~

Overcooled: Didn’t see season 1. Pass.
Hato-kun: Sequel. Pass.
Zabobinator: I WATCHED THE FIRST TWO SEASONS. This show is my not-so-secret guilty pleasure. I will definitely watch this.
Foshizzel: Missed out on the first series looked kind of boring to me.
anaaga: WHY.ARE.THEY.DOING.THIS.TO.ME.MY.HEART.CAN’T.TAKE.THIS.ANYMORE *starts crying* HIJIKATA T_____T I’M NOT EVEN GOING TO TOUCH THIS. NO, I REFUSE TO LOOK EVEN AT THE TITLE.
Ness: IT ENDED ALREADY, they’re all D E A D! /depressed but I’ll end up checking it out much later. I guess it will be okay since it’s a focus on each certain character and if it’s them getting a happy ending with Chizuru, that just proves how much of a whore she is. BUT BUT /cries The tragedy in the series!
Hoshi: Haven’t watched this at all, and probably won’t…
Hime: Not interested.
Jrow: I didn’t like the first season of Hakuoki, so I’ll pass on this.
Karakuri: More of this? …Meh. Maybe.
Sassy: Didn’t watch this before.
Kyokai: BAAAAHHH. I don’t think I will be able to stop myself from checking this out. I heard the rumour that all the main five guys will get their happy ending with Chizuru in this OVA but this can be wrong because hey, this was a tragedy. ;3;

Sassy: Huh, I haven’t watched any Type-Moon before…
Kyokai: Anything Type-Moon, I’m up for it! It would have been too much to ask if Shiki were to be featured but Tohno is around so I’ll still have fun. There has to be a joke about Saber’s gender and Shirou needs to be made emo-less. Can’t wait for this to air!

    Re: Hakuouki Sekka-Roku:
    This is supposed to be a prequel, set before Chizuru joins them, so there won’t be a happy ending for her. I liked the first two seasons, and thought it was really cool to have a show with a tragic ending for a change.

    • anaaga says:

      *start bawling* WE ALL KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPENED TO THEM

      • Ness says:

        I KNOW RIGHT ANAAGA! /cries. The tragedy, I wish that I didn’t finish the series /sigh.

          Aaaaarghhhh! Didn’t know it was a prequel and I was dubious about happy endings too. >.>;;

        • anaaga says:

          it’s like, why make the prequels when you know how it’s going to end? it’s going to make me feel more attached to the characters D: It’s just gona make the fans fall into a deeper depression

          • Kyokai says:

            It’s like poking the fans on how good everyone was and what they didn’t get. ;__;

      NOOOO!!!

      WHY DID U HAVE TO SAY THAT?? TT

    jeez Ono, I am disappointed in you.

    and sexy graphics hell yeah

      Yes very sexy graphics! <3

      And hell yeah SMEXY graphics ftw~ xD

      …Well he WAS in the original game… He kind of has to do the anime role. Poor guy.

      • Kyokai says:

        He can always say no but oh well. At least we’ll have Okarin still in Summers.

  5. Karakuri says:

    Uwah~ nice graphics!

    Actually thinking about it now, I’m kind of excited for Heart no Kuni since it’s been put off since forever ago. I wonder if they’ll actually follow a route or if they’ll pull some bs harem ending.

    • Ness says:

      I won’t be surprised if there’s a BS harem ending and from the looks of it. Hell, she should just whore herself around. This reminds me of that SIM game that Kyokai had Fosh and I check out when starting Met’Amour hahahahha damn game, can’t believe I played through it.

      • Karakuri says:

        Sigh. Well at least my rage will be justified then.

        …Kyokai made you play a game? Which one?

        • Kyokai says:

          That makes me sound like perv but it was all legit! xD

          It was thisgame that we checked out while thinking up VN styled dating sims. Thank god, we didn’t get our inspiration from this one for Met’Amour. >.>

          the manga is great. the 1st season sucked since the director decided to give kana more scenes, when in fact, she has already lost her status as a main character. truly.
          also messed the inugami arc.

          tsurara is the best girl for rikuo!

          @amado: I KNOW RIGHT!? Obviously tsurara is much more closer to nura rather than kana. And yeeeeesss the manga is such win-win I can never wait for the scans so I always read the Chinese RAW (although I don’t understand it xD)

          @carla: aaaww, I have to hands. Here, high five from my left hand *high five left hand*

  9. Alynn says:

    Omg the new layout is GODLY AMAZING. Good job guys!
    I’m going to be watching…
    Show ▼

    • Foshizzel says:

      Yep amazing list set up this time, Thanks!

      Another great list nice Alynn hope you enjoy your anime! I will probably end up watching every show up to three or four episodes before giving them the drop.

    • anaaga says:

      I am sad. You haven’t watched Sengoku Basara yet =(

    • Kyokai says:

      Thanks! And you need to add Natsume Yuujinchou in your list. I mean Kamiyaaan, mystery, nyanko-sensei, Omori, Brains Base, too many reasons not to miss this out. ^^

      • Alynn says:

        @ Fosh: That’s a lot to try out though, haha. I normally end up testing other ones out if I have nothing to watch/ catch up on.

        @anaaga: I’m sad too. I heard it’s really good! I just have been too busy to watch a full series lately (I’ve exams soon, ie next week)

        @Kyokai: Kamiyan? Brains Base? CONSIDER IT ADDED.

  10. Bass says:

    Great job on the preview guys XD Everything looks great.

    Summer seems to be a bit dull, it seems like it’s gonna be a repeat of winter. I hope that other than the noitamina shows, there will be some hidden gems like Madoka and Level E were in winter.

    Still, there are a lot that has potential, I hope they pull it though. I think I’ll be fine though since Ao no Exorcist, Tiger and Bunny and Hanairo will still be running in summer XD

    • Bass says:

      And wow, I forgot just how big the Metanorn family got. I was shocked to see that long intro :O

      I still haven’t even met more than half of them. I’ll have to set some time for msn soon >_<

      • Foshizzel says:

        Oh yes I was thinking the same thing Bass! Like wow we have a huge team, so expect lots of awesome tag reviews to spring up on Metanorn.

        Yes! We need to have more mass MSN convos! Well just poke starburst and she will create one ahahaha.

      • Overcooled says:

        I haven’t really talked to any of Sekijitsu’s writers on MSN either (aside from you and Tofu a couple of times). WE MUST CORRECT THIS IMMEDIATELY.

        • Bass says:

          I haven’t been on msn in at least a month lol

          • Kyokai says:

            You’re getting free in mid June, right? Need to get on an epic chat on weekend then. xD

            • Bass says:

              Yea but I’ll be going on holiday with my gf to Australia for a week lol and going on a trip down south not long after that.

              Will see if I can pop in

            • Kyokai says:

              You do love Ozzie, don’t you? This is like the second time but hey, enjoy yourself and don’t go missing afterwards! xD We have to work on a collab. :3

        • Tofu says:

          THe sad thing is OC, our time difference is so vast D: I come back home from a normal day and it’s already 11 at night for you T___T I do miss our msn chats

    • Ness says:

      Thanks Bass! xD

      I’m sure there will be some hidden gems. If not, there’s always the OVAs or movies haha. But too bad the movies won’t be seen for a while.

      Yes, Tiger and Bunny will still be running. I still need start watching Ao no Exorcist. So behind>_>;

      • Foshizzel says:

        Well a few shows carry over like Exorcist, Tiger and bunny, Nichijou, Hana Iroha, and I think that’s it from spring season I saw those shows got bumped to the 25-26 episode range.

        Which makes me happy! Not so much for Hana Iroha but the others really need to be 25+ Not sure about Nichijou hopefully it doesn’t crash and burn.

  11. Foshizzel says:

    Awesome work on the grahpics Ness! Great stuff <3

    Lots of shows to watch! Can't wait to start watching some soon.

    Looking forward to Sacred Seven and No. 6! And many others ahaha to many to list, course there are lots of hits and misses like every other season of new anime.

  12. Overcooled says:

    I still can’t believe WE MADE THIS behemoth of a list. Good job everyone! I know self-praise is no honour but…we done good.

    I actually think the Summer season looks great! Much better than Winter, which had me watching…one good show? It won’t be long until we’re fighting to find out who gets to blog what XD

    • Kyokai says:

      Muhwahahaa. Yes, we have done good! It took so much time but finally it’s here. XD

      And yes, I think I should prepare a ring for this season so that everyone can fight it to their deaths…. kidding or maybe….

    • MikADo says:

      self praising FTW :3

    • Foshizzel says:

      Summer season looks great! A few cool looking shows, but ya a few will crash and burn quickly but who knows.

      SELF PRAISING! WE ROCK! Err I mean party on Metanorn~

      True lots of tags inc!

  13. Reaper says:

    Holy crap, good work team! So much anime to watch and it’s almost the beginning of a six-week holiday from uni…damn you exam on friday…anyway, defs looking towards so many things, here’s the list
    Show ▼

    Most waited two however are
    Carnival Phantasm (Damn you, bring out Mana Ryougi! Must see the forbidden love child of Shiki and Mikiya!) and FMA movie (it’s been too long for my FMA fix! Alchemy FTW!)
    Huh, that’s my spiel…heh, almost sound like a metanorn blogger with my rant…that will be the day 🙂

    • Jrow says:

      Hopefully we don’t have to wait too long for the Blu-Ray of the FMA movie, that should be really good!

      • Reaper says:

        Definitely, it might not be canonical but at least it’s a lot more related than the Conqueror of Shamballa film…no two-world alternate business

    • Karakuri says:

      I’m totally with you for the Blood+ continuation thing…. but at the same time, I’m curious as to how they’ll portray Saya’s character (plus they gave her glasses!!! … and some Magic Knight Rayearth looking sword…thing…)

      • Reaper says:

        I know, I was stoked to see Saya as a megane touhou character too, and Nana Mizauki being her seiyu? Perfect match…PS love the Persona dp ;P funny how I’m playing P3P atm for the umpteenth time

        • Karakuri says:

          Yes! Nana Mizuki! I really love the new design CLAMP has going for Saya. It makes her less… I don’t know, useless? My problem with Blood+ was that it took Saya like, 20 episodes to actually do anything instead of standing there saying that she doesn’t want to fight.

          Ahaha same here with the P3P. I keep trying to do Ken’s route but I always cancel last minute going “nooooo I’m not a shotacon!”

    • Kyokai says:

      You need to watch Natsume, like now. It it that good after all. And HELLS YES FOR CARNIVAL PHANTASM & FMA!!! We can only wish for Mana but when Shiki’s not there, how can there be Mana. ;3; Still, at least we are getting ol’ Saber, Lancer and Archer. Bonus for me is Sakamoto Maaya in FMA, she voiced Shiki after all~

      • Foshizzel says:

        I AM READY FOR THE CARNIVAL!! WOOOO!!

        Yep more FMA, and Natsume can’t wait for those two as well <3

  14. Samantha Zan says:

    So many vampire shows, ugghhh turns me off. Hmmmm, not that many shows that I’m interested in, but at least there are a few out there. But anyway, great job once again Metanorn team 🙂

    • Kyokai says:

      Thank you very much! We pulled all punches this time around.
      There would be definitely gems of Summer, let’s see how we do it.

    • Foshizzel says:

      I know right! People love them damn vampires xD

      Thanks! Hope you find something fun to watch for summer! Only 20+ days to wait

  15. Junko says:

    I’m totally ready for Natsume yuujinchou san, you don’t even know. I’m also keen but worried about Blood C. Speaking about worried, Heart no Kuni no Alice proved to be more than an Alice obsessed manga, but that trailer..

    I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to hope on this list or not but here’s what I’m thinking of watching, it’s pretty long..Show ▼

  16. Tofu says:

    WOAH!! Good job Meta team on the new season design~! I like-a very much~~ :3

    I’ll be sure to look through it when I have time, currently in exam week so I will be quite busy T__T

    But… CARNIVAL PHANTASM!!! <3 I'd love to see Kyo tackle this one ^^

    • Foshizzel says:

      Yeah! Everyone did an awesome job!

      Agreed I can’t wait to see it too ;D

    • MikADo says:

      Carnival Phantasm really looks fun <3

    • Kyokai says:

      Why thank you~ :3

      Good luck with exams, Tofu and hell yeah, I will be blogging Carnival Phantasm. I love take moon! xD

      • Tofu says:

        WOOT! But but Kyo… I heard it’s been delayed D: Is this true!?

        Btw since Sora no Otoshimono: Tokeijikake no Angeloid is a movie adaption of the manga, does that mean I don’t have to watch the series? It’s got Hikasa Yoko in it so I’m gonna give it a try ONLY if I don’t have to watch the other stuff 😛

        Ru-Kyu-Bu is AWESOME!!! xP

        • Kyokai says:

          The last I checked, it was up for 14th August release date and it still is. Yeah, it would be late summer though. >.>

          I think Fosh will be able to answer your Otoshimono question. Haven’t watched this at all.

          • Tofu says:

            Oh okay, cause it says July in the post 😛

            I shall ask Fosh ;D

            • Kyokai says:

              Yeah, when we posted this, the date wasn’t announced but at least now we know when to expect it! xD

  17. Dan-go says:

    I must say the graphic and design getting better and better each season! congrats guys! really have no idea what i’ll watch, i’ll probably have to tone it down a bit (no more mooching off parents internet…got that stupid uni thingy) looking forward to the reviews

    • Foshizzel says:

      Lots of inspiration from other friends too! Thanks Dan-go! LOL yeah the list is huge for summer, I will attempt to watch as much as I can but we shall see.

      Thanks!

    • Kyokai says:

      We are on the continuous improvement drive for Metanorn always so glad that everyone took it well. ^^

      Aah, university means more responsibility; best of luck. We’ll sift out the good ones for you in the summer so that you don’t have to watch the shit ones. xD

  18. MikADo says:

    Blood C – clamp
    Last Exile – looks cool enough
    Kamisama Doll – blood? yes :3
    Idolm@ster – for Miki!!
    Baka Test II – YESSS!!
    No.6 – appealing
    Kamisama no Memo chou- YES YES YES YES!!!!
    Usagi Drops – No.1 of season
    Dantalian no Shoka – might, like the art
    Natsume Yuujinchou San – No.2 of season
    Carnival Phantasm OVA – Nars Universe XD
    Hellsing OVA – finally
    Black Lagoon OVA – finally
    Nichijou OVA – <3
    Kore Zombie special – love this series

    Movie – FMA – my love for this series is unrivaled

    Summer season usually is not as great as Spring or Winter, but still has its values. Not much was expected, but i see some shows with potential, so im excited :3 But it is true that my list, compared to Spring season, is a LOT shorter

    • MikADo says:

      i forgot to add Ghibri and Basara movie :3 how clumsy of me

      • Foshizzel says:

        LOL awesome list there MikADo lots of great shows and more Nichijou!

        Yeah No. 6 looks fun

    • Kyokai says:

      I agree that summers usually aren’t that great but compared to previous ones, at least there are sizable numbers of shows that are worth checking out. I love your top animu, definitely excited about Carnival Phantasm and FMA movie too. ^^

  19. Yvoon says:

    yattaaa!!~

    its finally out!! ahh, i always look forward to these highlights!

    LOVE the banners for every genre of anime! so pretty~~

    well, i had mentioned my list in SJ, but i would like to add a few more.

    NARUTO MOVIE!! how could i forget about naruto!~

    aah, also looking forward to Blue Exorcist Ova!! XD

    and is it just me or does almost the whole bishies lair category really perk my interest? ;D

    p.s.

    NATSUME YUUJINCHOU FOREVEEER!!! <3

    • MikADo says:

      NATSUME YUUJINCHOU FOREVEEER!!! <3

    • Foshizzel says:

      Yep! At long last the epic summer list has arrived!

      Very cool banners! <3

      LOL yes lots of Naruto in the summer not just one movie but 2! Yep Blue Exorcist OVA should be lots of fun.

      HELL YA NATSUME FOREEVERRR!!! <3

    • Kyokai says:

      YES! It’s HERE after all! I know you’ve been looking quite forward to it, writing about the reviews too. ^^

      Also, this list was designed by girls so of course, the Bishies Lair would be the most awesome! It’s my favourite slot after all. xD

      LOVE NATSUME FOREVER!!! <333

  20. Namika says:

    O-TA-NO-SHI-MI-DA-EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~
    Right off the bat – FMA movie made me squeal like crazy!!! I know about it since the end of winter season, and my nerves are ready to self-destruct. TT^TT Too bad we won’t see it very soon………. Also, I’m really interested in another Ghibli movie. >.> Though I agree with OC – a comedy from Ghibli is something ……. intriguing ^^;

    From the series, I’m sure I will check out Blood-C, just because I love mystery, Gothic style, Production IG and Yoshikazu Iwanami. Sacred Seven, because of Kajiura Yuki and Ohashi Yoshimitsu. I wanted to check out another Sunrise mecha, so I think I will give this a try. Next – Kamisama Dolls. God, when I first saw that cover, I thought it would be some dirty, cliche ecchi show but…. I was positively pleased by the trailer. I didn’t like the art, but I’m checking it out. Natsume Yuujinchou San seems interesting, but I haven’t seen the first 2 seasons, so maybe some other time. Dantalian no Shoka seems like Gosick-to-be show. I absolutely HATED gosick, but I think I will check out this one too. + Daisuke Ono. *fangasm* Usagi Drop – Kyokai-san, yoroshiku ne~ ^^ I am SO IN for that mushy, cheezy show!! I love anime that make your chest feel warmer <3 Then, NO.6. Idk, I just like it. sees a shounen-ai possibility

    • Namika says:

      Ikoku Meiro no Croisée seems interesting, because the trailer is very……. atmospheric, I guess??? I instantly fell in love with the music *~* sucker for shows that involve culture and beautiful music Speaking of. I’m gonna steal Sassy’s phrase – screw everything! I’m watching IDOLM@STER! ><"

      Well, I think that's all that I'm interested in….. Of course, knowing myself I can guess that I won't check out all of these. xD I wanted to see so much from the spring season, but in the end I didn't watch even the hald. I dropped Steins;Gate, C, stopped watching HI….. I follow only DW, SIH and Ao-Ex. O_O

    • Foshizzel says:

      LOL Nice list of shows! I probably will end up watching the first 3 episodes of those shows, hopefully they are fun.

      • Namika says:

        me too – I don’t know if I will follow all those >.>

        • Kyokai says:

          Nice list, Namika-chan~ <3 Of course, I'll be watching everything so that others don't have to watch shit shows but it's going to be interesting. High five on Usagi Drop and I highly recommend Natsume Yuujinchou.

          Btw. Why did you drop Steins;Gate and C?! D:

          • Namika says:

            You are such a kind person from that angle *,* I think I will check out Natsume Yuujinchou too…..)))))

            I had some issues.. School work, + my computer is lagging a lot. It’s turning off every now and then so I can’t watch anime a lot. Still, I loved both of these, but my interest just died out O_O I have no idea why, but I don’t want to make myself watch a good show that doesn’t make my interest twitch ^^”

            • Kyokai says:

              I guess when you become a vet, you have to go cover that extra mile and I guess, in the process of running Metanorn, I’ve acquired the skill to watch almost anything. >.>;

              Hope your PC gets better. Get your RAM checked, same for the power hub.

            • Namika says:

              That is a great skill to have. I swear, being as bitchy as I am is very… bad. That’s why I would be a terrible bosslady. Cheers for you! ^^
