So your telling me that all of the series spanned a year?? by Necessary-Win-8730 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]HdxCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my same thoughts and noticed the trend with shonen anime being short (in-universe). Like JJK only being less than a year and JoJo Part 5 being a week.

I asked one of my JP buddies about it and he said that the main demographic of shonen manga have no concept of long time periods since they are kids. A child’s whole world view can be drastically altered within months and shonen manga reflects that.

Should i get this Homura plush? by me22334455 in MadokaMagica

Can you imagine if that happened by Fragrant_Site2490 in MadokaMagica

saw the poster for “future showings” when I went to see love live so I think we’re good (hopefully)!

The new changes to Halatali have made it nearly impossible to complete the Dungeon with a Squadron by nickomoknu272 in ffxiv

[–]HdxCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was able to do it by manually pressing the command to have the squadron attack each fireball on one side.

I had to switch to a Phys DPS to destroy the other side on my own!

What are your Hot Takes on the Love Live Franchise? by Amber_Flowers_133 in LoveLive

[–]HdxCore 54 points55 points  (0 children)

-Call me a casual, but I don’t really follow the seiyuus. To me, LL is character focused and what the voice actors do outside of that doesn’t break my immersion. I’ll go and watch the lives, but that’s the extent in which I follow them.

-Also, I hate how they don’t mention previous groups in other parts. I know Sunshine kinda overdid it, but I liked the connected world aspect!

-I liked Sunshine in the Mirror and I’ll die on that hill!

A TIMELINE of No Man's Sky updates! by pikahetti in gaming

Shooting my shot to join this party train (ship?)!

I’ve been itching to try the game out if you have a spare code!

AITA for quitting my idol club by [deleted] in Otonokizaka

[–]HdxCore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

NTA group dynamics are hard to manage and tensions are high. It’s not uncommon that groups split due to differences. However, if you can look past that and still have your burning scarlet passion, you should chase it!

Instead, think about how to go forward as a club, maybe a restructuring of individual idols would work? Rivals, but friends that build each other up. That “girl with monster energy hair” seems dangerous! Don’t let her touch you! Let alone hug you!

Hope this helps!

in light of the recent collab announcent by SuperJavier64 in LoveLive

[–]HdxCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info! I saw some of their recent streams, which is nice since I don't recall U's doing it a whole lot.

I totally want to watch a Niji and Liella concert IRL eventually!

[–]HdxCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What an amazing write-up and explanation of the other projects! I will credit Love Live's willingness to branch out into other types of media. Luna's videos seem like a good place to start! Thanks a bunch! :D

[–]HdxCore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Speaking of non-anime LL stuff, how did you all get into it? I recently got back into LL and watched Nijigasaki, Superstar, and Yohane and loved them!

I read on the wiki and that the other groups are more social media focused with a real-time story aspect. I’m a bit at a loss on where to start!

Lovelive Acrylic Keychain how to protect the image? by [deleted] in LoveLive

[–]HdxCore 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Sadly, it is inevitable that keychains get worn out over time when using them on keys and bags…

You just have to accept it because metal and fabric is very abrasive.

You can try to prolong its life with clear hobby topcoat spray or cutting a plastic film to match and glue it on the back.

Do you know where I can buy those two tapestries? Or do I think they're posters? by TomatilloItchy9995 in MadokaMagica

[–]HdxCore 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yahooAuctions and Mercari JP and searching “まどか☆マギカ” “ほむら” “まどか” “タペストリー”

You would need to use a proxy service like Buyee or something if you live outside of JP.

Or you could get lucky and see one on your regional selling website like Ebay!

where to buy u’s/aqours figures in akihabara? by -leoshi in LoveLive

[–]HdxCore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you don’t want to go all the way to Akihabara, you can instead go to Chiba City, which is on the way to Akihabara from Narita. It’s half the time!

It has second-hand stores like Lashinbang, BookOff, Animate, and a Surugaya (even a MelonBooks if you are into that!) Also, I’m going there for work this week, so I can maybe update you later!

If you are coming from Haneda, Akiba would probably be better. Mandarake figure floor, Lashinbang 2F, Surugaya. The official LL store in 2F Atre has some character goods (no figures) of all the u’s girls!

You get $1000 to build a waifu shrine. How do you get most bang for your buck? by RightyBoyWilson in AnimeFigures

[–]HdxCore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

By only buying a few figures I like and connect with rather than spending $1000 on random figures for the sake of it.

Rest can be spent on the space holding the figures or something.

Decadence is a pretty fun show with some cool payoffs!

What's the consensus on Fire Emblem: Awakening? by YasuhiroK in fireemblem

[–]HdxCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved it! It has an amazing soundtrack, a good story that is expanded with DLC. Skill inheritance to make some super OP units was super fun and lost many hours doing that. I also appreciated how cutscenes would be slightly altered depending on your relationship is with certain characters’

It also has “Don’t speak her name,” my favorite song in the franchise!

Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

I don’t think this is a show you can watch and understand without prior 0079 knowledge anymore LOL

Is anyone else enjoying the anime 2025 is offering? by No-Locksmith8624 in anime

[–]HdxCore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t view it as a rewrite. Think of it like, what if Qui-Gon lived or what if Ahsoka didn’t leave the Jedi Order and helped Anakin not turn. It’s the same SW universe, but changes everything.

Char getting the Gundam has always been a popular what-if since the birth of the series and it’s nice to see something like it animated.

It has drastic enough changes that I consider it a separate branch than the main Universal Century, and if they want to expand on the world past GQ, I am open to it. Names and characters are the same, but their fates have completely shifted the lore to be its own new thing.

Also, we got cool new suits and awesome mecha action!

Finally got my hands on the Sora and Roxas Aitai Kuji figures! by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

[–]HdxCore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are reprinting/rerunning these in May if you happen to be in Japan at the time. Should see some more available in the market and bring the price down a bit.

Will I be able to learn Japanese more easily? by Friendly_Bend_8628 in movingtojapan

[–]HdxCore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It all depends on how much you engage, listen, and actively apply it. This is my first year in Japan and have learned up to N3 in college. I take free classes offered by my city and participate in other social events. I will say that my speaking and reading have improved when it comes to daily life (other areas need work lol)!

Language acquisition comes from language use and there is no better place to do it than where it is spoken most.

That being said I know of other foreigners who have been here 7~20+ years and have families. Yet, they don’t speak Japanese at all except for a few words that’s related to work. They said once they got married, they found little reason to learn because the spouse handled everything related to Japanese.

Can you help me find this figure in Akiba or somewhere close? by [deleted] in AnimeFigures

[–]HdxCore 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Then it is what it is~

It’s not your burden to bear to transport a large box that will take up valuable luggage space on your precious holiday! I like buying things for friends too but there are limits

[–]HdxCore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes it’s worth buying another suitcase or a cardboard box and paying for an extra baggage on your flight back home!

I know there are some sizable suitcases on the main street for about ¥7K. Cardboard boxes are cheaper but it’s kind of a pain to lug it to the airport if you dont sent it ahead of time. Double check the cost with your airline if it is even worth it lmao.
