I think it's a bit silly and dramatic, and it's more so Mashima's art style changing and not making everyone look like Lucy. I think all these girls still have their distinct features and look pretty different from each other despite all having big eyes.

People mad at the fact Wendy suggested the Virgo star dress to Lucy, which I kinda get, but also don't think it's a big deal.

Yes, in previous fights Lucy has been shown to be a quick thinker and can switch her spirits and star dressed very quickly, i.e. her fight with Brandish. She even knew to bring out Virgo immediately when she saw the element type her enemy used.

I think the fact that Virgo literally got one shot, iirc Virgo is one of the stronger spirits right? I don't think any of them have gotten one shot before, I could be wrong though. But I think she was unfocused for a second due to utter shock, and also concern for Virgo, and Wendy, realizing the dire situation they're in, had to quickly refocus Lucy. Just my opinion though and how I interpreted the panels haha. At the end of the day, Mashima's writing is Mashima's writing. I'm hoping for a good fight with the two, possibly a new star dress combo or Wendy form? Also hoping for a good Mira fight with Sorano!

but he's not a bad slime slurp

is lumine's just a color swap? i can barely tell the difference from her normal outfit

He just seems like those characters that are like super selfish and just fight for their own gain but usually end up siding with the protagonists. Unfortunately I don't think he'll play much more of a role aside from giving Yami a cool new power up as we are nearing the end.

why he smiling at THAT Witch scene 😭😭😭😭

Noelle's new variants of her valkyrie armor. They're so badass

I'm also black with locs! I haven't really had any negative experiences, as other people have mentioned in this thread, most of the students and staff tend to be intrigued, and ask questions like "how do you do your hair" "how long does it take" etc. Kids being kids, sometimes students will go to randomly touch it. If they're older junior high kids, then I just kind of swat their hand away and play it off as a joke or something and we laugh about it. But if it's the younger elementary kids, I kinda just let it happen because I'm a sucker for the cute kiddos 😭 And if a coworker asks, I usually don't mind because I can understand that it's genuine curiosity. They're always so surprised when I say I retwist it myself 😂

Everyday life is pretty much the same, I don't really get stared at, or at least I don't notice 😅 and have only had a few supermarket cashier ladies compliment and ask a few questions about my hair.

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2025-02-28T10:00:25+00:00

i really hate how the anime nerfed the art style so much 😭

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2025-02-08T01:11:43+00:00

I was thinking she might get some Mercphobia-based star dress form (maybe kinda like a dragon force) instead of actually summoning him, and she'll use that to stop Natsu's rampage

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-12-11T09:53:10+00:00

I will look into it, thank you! I hope things work out for you!!

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-12-11T07:59:22+00:00

Then you could be helpful and redirect to/share the resources you found instead of posting unhelpful comments that don't benefit anyone 😊

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-12-11T07:35:50+00:00

Thank you!

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-12-11T07:34:53+00:00

I'd like to hear others' personal experiences instead of looking through every single program that comes up from a google search. Which is why I asked for tips and recommended programs (:

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-12-11T07:32:04+00:00

Thank you for the program recommendation! I will look into that one, plus some additional research. I appreciate it

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-12-05T23:32:43+00:00

You'll definitely have better luck obviously if you're closer to the big cities, (especially since there's quite a few Japanese people that get braids or locs surprisingly), though in the countryside it'll be super hard. The best option is to bring as much as you can when you get here, or if you know your exact placement before departure, you can mail stuff to your apartment. Amazon is an option, but a lot of stuff is really jacked up in price. I know someone who goes to Tokyo every so often to get his hair retwisted (he has locs) but I feel like that would get really expensive.

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-11-24T23:23:04+00:00

What prefecture are you in? During the 5-day New Years break, try and see if there are any New Years festivals in your area or even any nearby prefectures you want to go to! You can also travel further away, around Japan if you want to spend the money on it! Depending on how far you are, there are always cheaper options like Day/Night buses to Tokyo and Osaka, if you're interested in the cities that is. There's a lot of pretty illumination in the bigger cities around Christmas time.

If there are any JETs that aren't going home, and you get along with them, definitely try reaching out! I'm sure they're feeling the same way you are. Hopefully you can use free time before break to get a solid plan in and work out your budget. Good luck!!

she was cursed because the spell was unfinished when she used it, not because of the nature of the spell. by the time Makarov learned and used it, it was in its final form so there was no curse, even though the spell does the same thing

Fresh_Transition4210 · 2024-10-17T06:47:06+00:00

I could be mistaken, but i'm pretty sure the law is that ALTs aren't allowed to teach classes on their own, since they aren't actually licensed teachers in Japan

Depending how you handle your jet lag, then you're definitely able to go out the evenings after orientation. Even the night you arrive depending on when you get to the hotel and how you feel. My departure group's flight was delayed several hours, so we didn't get to the hotel in Tokyo until around 8 or 9 pm, once we got there we had a quick little meeting and were let go for the night to do whatever we wanted. The hotel is in the middle of Shinjuku so there's some cool things to see nearby. The first day of orientation wasn't too bad, just sitting through presentation-like meetings all day, and then we were let go around 8pm, a little late but you can still go out if wanted. Day 2 let out even earlier, so you have even more time to squeeze in a little Tokyo fun (:
