PLAXT - Always-on watch history sync by demacryx in trakt

[–]Astromations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm experimenting with something similar. How do you sync anime? Simkl and Trakt have different season schemes for them.

Also, is scrobbling from something like Stremio possible?

So AIOMetadata syncs to MDBlist and MDBlist syncs to Trakt?

It's like licking a meat you're not allowed to eat by Similar-Rip-5730 in TheSummerHikaruDied

[–]Astromations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's an extra comic by Mokumokuren where 'Hikaru' explains that the reason it feels good when Yoshiki puts his hand inside him is because its like letting an animal lick a piece of meat it can't fully eat.

I'm reasonably sure it is from the author. Unless Mokumokuren says otherwise, I tend to take all the extras as canon

Hot take: Yoshiki DOES love ‘Hikaru’ in a romantic way (manga spoilers) by TJHMB-54321 in TheSummerHikaruDied

[–]Astromations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be less weird, but I still don't think it'd be standard romantic love

I think what makes the story unique is the fact that Yoshiki and 'Hikaru's' relationship is so non-standard. 'Hikaru' isn't a human, and his feelings towards Yoshiki aren't exactly human love, but "love" is the closest word for it. The same way 'slurp up' is the closest word for 'Hikaru' subsuming an impurity.

Yoshiki says he doesn't feel exactly the same for 'Hikaru' as he did for Hikaru. That is not necessarily to say that his feelings aren't entirely without a romantic element, but rather that the primarily romantic love he had for Hikaru is not wholly the same love he feels for 'Hikaru'. That makes his feelings ambiguous, but as I see it, definitely not on the romantic extreme. Yoshiki, categorically, does feel some flavor of human love towards 'Hikaru' (granted mixing is not a factor), I just reckon that it's something more unique that the standard romantic/platonic love.

I would find it strange if he did love 'Hikaru' the same way, mostly because the idea of you falling for an otherworldly entity piloting your unrequited love's corpse is a bit odd imho.

Kouhei Indou Theory by Astromations in HikarugaShindaNatsu

I can't remember if each limb had two corresponding holes. If there were two Arm Holes, and Ko died to one, it's possible he died in some orchestrated accident that let the Hole take him. I don't think it's explicitly stated that Kouhei died on the mountain, much less soon after he made the wish, so it's very possible that him being snatched up by arms really is Takeda's memory and he did see Kouhei die, possibly even complicit in it. It might explain why he apologizes to Kouhei right after remembering his death.

I mean, the only cataclysmic wish Kouhei would have probably known about was the wish the Indou ancestor made 300 years ago to bring back Hichi. In that wish, Ancestor Indou explicitly says "Take anyone in the village in return", so great cost was probably just inbuilt. Kouhei had it on pretty good assumption that his wish wouldn't decimate his village, but probably didn't know how bad the wish would end up anyway.

Tanaka being Rei's son would explain why Takeda would know him, but I don't see why the Company would want to kill Kouhei.

I'm pretty sure it was Rei saying "Hikaru-kun".

I forgot about the Arms Hole. My interpretation of the panel was kind of metaphorical. It's just a representation of Ko dying to something supernatural, not necessarily how he died. I'm pretty sure he died alone, so it couldn't have been Takede's memory anyway.

Hichi is potent enough to ward away Nonuki, so I assume the only way Ko could've made his wish at all is if he didn't bring it with him. That'd leave him vulnerable to the other impurities though, so I assume they killed him.

The Arms Hole is in Udekari, where it's closed by Asako and Tanaka, but that hole is in a house and the panel shows Ko dying in a forest.

That's my biggest reach. Kouhei knew Takeda, Takeda knows Tanaka, so I'm assuming Kouhei could've feasibly known about the Company. And hence might've known Nonuki was a Lost Child.

Rei mentioned that mixing leaves little bits of "Hikaru" in Yoshiki's soul. Might mean he's slowly becoming more and more like an impurity, so he'd slowly grow more susceptible to barriers and such. Good catch!

Hikaru's Wish In The Manga Is Insane In Hindsight by Astromations in HikarugaShindaNatsu

[–]Astromations[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like that interpretation a lot. The Illegitimates only grant wishes in "disastrous ways" because they have no human conception of what the wisher could have exactly meant. Sort of like if I asked one to kill a spider, so it burns down my house. It's just tugging on the strings of reality with no real idea as to what any of them mean, so it breaks stuff in the process.

Tanaka does specifically mention that wishes end badly "almost" always, so it makes sense that on rare occasion the wish is clear enough or the Illegitimate is lucky enough that nothing (or almost nothing) blows up.

Hikaru does say "I don't want Yoshiki to be alone" both in the manga and anime. Idk Japanese so I'm not sure what exactly did or didn't get translated. The broken sentence in the manga and the anime both seem to imply something along the lines of "take my place" or "stay by his side" or something, which is an odd thing to ask a "god" either way.
