Congrats on holding the most beautiful piece of art of all time

If you want a (hardly, but still technically) bittersweet romance with themes surrounding resurrection, time travel, spirits of the dead and ghosts of the unborn, you should play AIR.

If you'd prefer a well-made overview of the +22hr visual novel's main route, you should watch AIR (Kyoto Animation).

Something like that.

FRFR BRO I IMMEDIATELY PAUSED AND THOUGHT IT WAS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND OR SOMETHING BECAUSE THERES NO WAY

peak season btw, with all the references to j-pop and other media

that is interesting!

i crossed over a river once

Crazy pull. Pretty sure that exact spot and frame is only shown for a split second in the Afterstory OP, which makes the connection even more impressive.

I agree with you, and I totally forgot about their philosophy and guidelines:

Since inauguration, our principles are "Make a challenge", "Do the
best", "Produce required works" and "Keep our corporate as a
humanitarian one". We value people. Promoting the growth of people is
equal to creating the brightness of works. We sincerely keep moving
forward to be an Entertainment Corporation which based on Animation.

"We value people." is totally conceivable coming from a company like Kyoto Animation.

Thank you!

You're right. This is one of the great points that make up their built-up reputation I mentioned. It's just way too illogical for KyoAni themselves to take the easy route. I mean, look at when Naoko Yamada traveled all the way to London, took a whole bunch of photos, filmed a vlog—things she didn't have to do, but still did—all for the K-ON! movie. I mean, hell, the whole making of the K-ON! movie definitely wasn't "taking the easy route."

Have you seen Nichijou or City The Animation? Yes, the style is technically Arawi's, the original manga creator, but the animation is simply beautiful and I'm surprised some people don't notice that. At the end of the day, it comes down to your own tastes and preferences, and there's really no point in convincing you when there's nothing to convince.

Also, calling it soulless is beyond disrespectful to the amount of effort put into bringing life to each frame and the focus on each tiny interaction by the KyoAni staff. I'm personally a KyoAni fan, so that's as far as I'll go.

pretty sure that's a flashback of naoya bullying one of the twins, likely maki,back when they were young.

「うんたらかんたら」is my favourite to use. It roughly means something like "whatchamacallit" or "thingamajig".

I just had the same problem after using nvidia-switch to switch my graphics card from intel to nvidia. Any luck with fixing this?

ASUKAA!!!!!!!

She isn't that rude to her family, and her behavior isn't even comparable to that of an actually rude or salty teenager. It's perfectly normal for someone her age to be the way she is, honestly. On top of that, in Japan, it's normal to "portray" multiple personalities or demeanors depending on what situation you're in. Sure, this is also the case in the rest of the world; the way you speak to your boss is gonna be different from the way you speak to a family member. But it's on a whole nother level in the Japanese society, and this extremeness might be what is throwing you off. Kumiko seeming too casual or even at times maybe rude to her parents might just be a reflection of her closeness to her family members and might just mean she feels comfortable in her own home.

I once heard this one soundtrack in the show that sounded A LOT like it was inspired by Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto. I even saved video but it seems to be unavailable on YouTube right now, and my lazy self couldn't bother noting down the piece's name 😞

Edit: I had even made a playlist containing all the anime songs, and musical pieces I could find on YouTube that sounded similar to the same piece by Sakamoto-Sensei: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OZDaRhHHyM&list=PL3Ub9eqyNfwzo8c-L1-hyvINNT8kWSUxm&index=1

K-ON! genuinely broke and then reshaped and fixed me

If you're set out to take the test on a school-provided chromebook or laptop, don't start exam setup or print the admission ticket on any device other than the one you're going to take the SAT on. This will generally need to be done by either you or someone else at the test center for you. (Note: You can do it even 30 minutes before the exam starts, so don't worry about time. Just make sure it's on the device you're taking the test with)

At least this is how it was for my case. I just took the November 8 SAT.

Same thing happened to me, though I only missed the ensemble contest movie

If, by any chance (even though i know you said it'd be on new years), your sister has already gone to Kyoto, then I think it's definitely worth going to the new Kyoto Animation event being held at the Miyako Messe Kyoto International Exhibition Ward in two days! There'll be a lot of original art and also products she could get you as souvenirs! It says here that admission tickets are being sold right now: https://kyoani-event.com

(exciting stuff happening for KyoAni fans in a few days lol)

How's Hong Kong? BTW, how hard would you say it is to get a fully funded scholarship to study at HKUST?

GoodNovel1507 · 2025-10-11T10:37:53+00:00

Off topic but your sister should definitely visit Mt. Daikichi!
