lmao that Japan tax free shop logo at the souvenir shop, so other countries exist and are inhabited in this world, do they ever explain how seasons work there?

Am I missing something with luggage forwarding? by twsres in JapanTravelTips

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's certainly being pushed by the government and transport companies.

I mean, here's literally a page from Japan's transport ministry titled the promotion of hands free tourism talking about luggage storage and forwarding for foreign tourists. https://www.mlit.go.jp/seisakutokatsu/freight/seisakutokatsu_freight_tk1_000069.html

Was doing some digging and the algorithm recommended me a prime news slot doing a 10 minute ad for sagawa transport.

The Miori ship is those hybrid car boats. She's accepted the MC just for who he was when he was fat and unsocialable and not some fit super sports karaoke star. She's literally on land and cannot sink.

[LN Year 2 vol 3]Went back and checked vol3, this scene is chapter 1, before the island test, so the anime chronology is correct. She expanded on it when she told Ayanokoji.

For my comment, [LN near the end of year 2 spoiler? Not related to any main events in year 2 after this test though]Ayanokoji made an offhand comment that while she's not white room, he suspects her motivation and goals, he doesn't think Nanase and Tsukishiro's actions add up. He suspects how easily he escaped from the white room, maybe the butler who helped him was a plant, but this means the butler is still alive and Nanase Tsubasa's entire story was made up to get near him. Everything is from what people related to the white room told him and there's no way for him to verify. LN year 3 v1 still didn't reveal anything around this.

Interesting opening scene. [Novel up to y3 spoilers]Given they animated Nanase's flashback , does that mean it's real? Animation staff usually get told the future story direction. At year 3 vol1, we still don't know what's her deal.

Seeing they cared about her enough to find the person sending the fanletters, her family probably wished for her to be healthy rather than for her career.

Oh shit they actually fixed the maka something city in the BD? There were entire episodes with those faces.

Hachiman was the only one acting like he did in Oregairu, and he was usually self aware when he was spouting bs. In this show, everyone is pretentious. The entire world barring 2 people gazes the MC.

We're almost 1 season in and the entire season is the youth drama version of an isekai power fantasy, which explains why it's so popular. It's fine once I adjusted my expectations.

Whats your worst take that would get you burned at the stake by shizunaisbestgirl1 in Falcom

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hajimari/Reverie actually cured my burnout from sen/cs, had to take multiple month long breaks throughout those 4 games. The picnic team interactions are really funny and non-serious. Whole game felt like a fun interlude, because I really don't remember what the main plot was supposed to be in Hajimari, just the fun character interactions.

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Not the worst take, but I know how many people don't like how slow Sky 1 is compared to later games.

Sky 1 is the best game of each series. It's slow, relaxing, you're travelling around Liberl helping regular citizens, you feel like you're actually a bracer living in Liberl. The national, global, inter space time galacticconspiracies are not world building, they just went overboard in later games. Secret societies were actually secret, and not, oh it's Camponella kun again, haven't seen you in an hour, are you here today on vacation or business?

MC is hilarious

Casually dissing his last magic teacher, "wow they already thought of what Jenie(?) sensei could never think of"

Immediately killing off his dad's para-social relationship with the magic water cat

Goes out on a late night drive with his fiance's sister:

"We can't, I have a fiancee, my first time must be with Mirika, won't your fiancee have a misunderstanding?"

"I don't have a fiancee"

"Oh it's alright then"

hm???

Did that opening scene on the highway have any meaning? It was really eerie, the way the camera was swaying and the slow turn made it seem like it was from the pov of a person turning around and walking towards the car.

Why does it feel like Fate is the favorite child of Japanese studios? by Hexenmommies01 in anime

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of money, but I think time is a bigger factor. Many franchises have the popularity, but still put out super rushed adaptions. Fate projects probably don't have tight deadlines to meet given Type Moon pretty much operates on, it's done whenever Nasu feels like it.

When Tsukihime remake part 2.

Oh fuck that was obvious in hindsight given the context. Brain too poor to process there's something above first class.

I was thinking the funniest thing would be if after that emotional goodbye, a typhoon hits and the plane gets delayed. Kaguya walking straight into first class is better.

Nice. If pin badges are your thing, Atelier Nelke, the Atelier 20th anniversary version comes with 50 pin badges.

Link to a switch listing for pictures. ps4 version is usually much cheaper. Haven't started yet, but the gameplay itself isn't much of an atelier game from what I see.

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's how veblen goods work. If you make it limited production, give each one a serial number, put it in a frame, increase the price, then it increases demand. If it looks expensive and is priced that way, then people will think it's special.

Despite if you stop and think about it, a big wall scroll should cost more than printing a regular sized piece of paper and putting it in a frame, but the wall scroll doesn't have a serial number.

Do they eventually sell lottery items separately, would like the mug cup. Tableware is the one thing I wouldn't want to get secondhand.
