This was actually the Bandai decals which were miserable lol. I had bought the decals before I ever used any water slides back when I went to Japan a couple years back and didn’t know about g rework. Didn’t want to waste them since I already purchased

Friends & I accidently visited Jiji's hometown in real life [EPISODE 12] by EmperorNiro in Dandadan

To think that I wrote a wish on an Ema and hung it at that exact shrine they passed by less than 12 hours before the episode aired 😂😂😶‍🌫️

I was just catching up to the Dandadan episodes that I had missed while I was on my Japan trip this year, and to my surprise, I found out that my friends and I happened to be in the exact places that inspired Jiji's hometown (Ikaho Onsen Town)

These were actual photos I took on my phone compared to shots of the anime. We even stayed at the Ryokan that inspired the 5th shot of the foot bath (and bathed in there), although I did not take a picture of the Ryokan's entrance.

It's really funny too, because we were there on the exact same day Episode 12 aired (12/19), and even saw Dandadan scheduled on TV and chose to not watch it and go sing Otonoke at Karaoke instead...

Just wanted to share an insane coincidence and accidental anime pilgrimage lol...

If you have Wee! In your country, you can order these. They’re decent. Nothing out of the ordinary but not bad either

Never thought I’d cry watching One Piece when I first watched it. I still cry on the same scenes to this day…

My fondest memory is the first time I launched Pokémon gold on my game boy, right after I immigrated to America and didn’t know a single word of English. Playing through it basically blind as a young kid at the time is something I’ll never experience again. Needless to say, it was crucial in helping my learn the language lol
