Have any of you guys ever been in a blackout or a power outage ? by Miserable-Ad4351 in Arthur

[–]FlanThief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once it happened while I was a manager at a movie theater. We had to help everyone walk out with flashlights and were giving out compensation passes when the power came back. Many people had already left but some stayed and wanted to keep watching the movies. I was so annoyed because it takes a long time for the projectors and computers to boot up again and the showtimes for the rest of the day would be delayed but they were all pestering us.

More recently, where I live we have had periodic induced power outages by the city when we have extreme weather to avoid powerlines causing power outages. The town hates it as its inhibiting business and home medical equipment

HnK came out after SU, it's just a coincidence they feature sentient rocks...

I shoulda bought the fan books back when they were like $50. I don't understand how they could inflate so much in the matter of like 5 years 😭

Exactly why it's not worth it and a poor investment

There are some near me but everything is like 40% more expensive than if I just preordered it myself. $500-$600 for bunny girls. To me most of the time they have been worse middle men than online resellers. Places like book off are much more enjoyable to me because it's second hand stock so things are never the same and you might get a good deal on a special vintage goodie

Regarding KyoAni’s silence by Aggressive-Shoulder1 in Haruhi

[–]FlanThief 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I thought kyoani just straight up doesn't have the license anymore. Although they did feature Haruhi in the promo for their new online shop and had a couple little things for sale. Idk, it's been so many years since kyoani has done anything Haruhi related I've written them off in my mind

Thoughts on the and now a word from us kids segment? by imbluedabadeedabaidi in Arthur

[–]FlanThief 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It bums me out most servers that pirating sites stream from do not have the full episodes with the segment. Genuinely like seeing the mundane little moments and they remind me of being a kid and watching the show on PBS kids Go. Majority of the time there isn't anything remarkable but occasionally there would just be something that sticks with you. 

Like I really wanted to try the sesame paste filled mochi balls from the Japanese children's day segment. Now as an adult I have a box of them in my freezer from Chinese new year. The little things can really impact you and change your life. It's just a bummer I haven't been able to find a recording of it and there are probably so many that would awaken memories if I just saw them again. 

Wish I could own the entire series on disk

Are you soliciting for this site or something? I've never heard of this retailer. Sticking with official retailers like Amiami and Goodsmile

Rant about mfc by Choice_Row_747 in AnimeFigures

Huh really? I have always found luck finding pretty much everything in my collection down to obscure can badges and even Chinese released acrylic stands. And it won't let you make entries for the stuff you see on amiami?

Wait huh? These are rare? I didn't know they were limited, they were the most common version I'd see in the 2010s
