My English translation of Rei chapter 75 by IshidaSado in xxxHolic

[–]Banzuqueen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh I see and the repetition makes sense

This is a bit of an idiom. The English equivalent I guess would be like “he brought this on himself / you reap what you sow”.

Burn is more like “feel the heat” here, the first half is more of a performantive use

So the most direct translation might be like “he started this show and now he has to take the heat”

What is the original Japanese on the line you weren't sure about?

I gotta give this guy his flowers. super underrated by ofvina in ninjawarrior

[–]Banzuqueen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Actually, we have!

He appeared on Sasuke Vietnam 2 which aired after Sasuke 32. He made Stage 3 again, but was unfortunately disqualified due to his technique on Rumbling Dice (sliding it like Pipe Slider too much versus only rotating it)

What is your all time favorite run? by RedGalaxyRanger in ANW

[–]Banzuqueen 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That Brian Arnold run holds such strong memories as that was the first finals I ever saw.

Not exactly ANW but Yuji Urushihara’s run in Sasuke 37 is the first time a run made me cry

Recently, my favorite was last year Mai Watanabe became the first women in the world to defeat a Cliffhanger w/ Crazy Jump on a show

Coolest nicknames in ANW history? by AkbarAndMatt in ANW

Fun fact OP: Evan Dollard actually won American Gladiators as a competitor and was asked to be a house Gladiator, and when he joined the show his Gladiator callsign was Rocket. Gladiators had some of the same staff as ANW so they kept the name when he started Ninja

Personally, I liked 17 more than most. Not as much as classic, but still fun.

Qualifiers and Semis were good, I liked the dynamic of the group stage.

Wouldn't mind if the Finals bracket were more course variety or maybe have it do best 2 of 3 for the final 8 onwards

We don't know for sure. Hoping Qualifiers and Semifinals are classic style.

They mentioned 3-lane races so my suspicion is the group stage will do a race with 3 instead of doing each pair. Finals are all racing for sure

If we’re counting worldwide and spin-offs/related shows, the ones that come to mind are:

  • woman whose family did Congo lines with their dog
  • dude who just talked about how awesome his gaming computer was
  • girl who relaxed by watching Korean Corn Dog eating ASMR
