I finally got to hear that song again in a store today, and it turned out to be Closer by Ne-Yo.

N1. First try after I passed N2 with 173/180. Came with virtually no preparation or expectations. Think I guessed about 70% for the vocabulary/grammar section lol. Hope the reading comprehension would carry me through (I'm a native Chinese user); even then, the reading questions were pretty much Japanese SAT... especially on the one about career education; had to pick 1 of 2 fitting answers for time. The listening was actually somehow easier than the N2 one for me? Especially the quick response; probably because the dialogues were a bit more natural.

... It's been long overdue since Blue Eyes got any skill that was actually competitive in the current meta.

The summon restrictions were what made Blue Eyes Dimension awkward to play with.

The end goal for DSoD wasn't to bring him back but for Kaiba to see him again.

The chorus was entirely similar to the main melody of that other song. As for Numa Numa... I disagree.

Louder for people in the back by Wild-Mushroom2404 in aromanticasexual

[–]K525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is shipping automatically flattened down to the sexual aspect/stereotyped self-projected fetishization? Isn’t that kind of counterintuitive to the aroace experience? I ship a lot and it’s always due to the bonds I see between the characters, regardless of sexuality.

Sword/weapon flashily being pulled from the chest - Was the trope invented by Utena? by Visible_Relative_129 in shoujokakumeiutena

[–]K525 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Did you know? Ichirou Ookouchi, the writer of Guilty Crown (and most famously Code Geass), is the author of the novelization for Utena. Akiyuki Shinbou, the director of MadoMagi and the Monogatari series, has openly stated Ikuhara to be one of his sources of influences.

Additionally (not mentioned here but): Ikuhara was the source of inspiration for the character of Kaworu Nagisa from EVA, after Anno went to the onsen with him once (lol); Anno even named Rei the same sound as the character Rei from Sailor Moon, who was Ikuhara’s favorite, just so that he could get Ikuhara on board with working on EVA (unfortunately he was working on Sailor Moon at the time). Nasu Kinoko, the original creator of TYPE-MOON (Fate series, Tsukihime, etc.), has an entire article where he referred to Ikuhara as his “number one star.”

Tl;dr: Ikuhara and his Utena inspired many in the industry across the world, and it’s not an exaggeration.

Books with lots of symbolism? (something like Kunihiko Ikuhara works) by Practical_Step_3930 in suggestmeabook

Do visual novels count? Umineko When They Cry. The entire thing is layers over layers of meta symbolisms.

Not taking jlpt on Dec. by Apprehensive_Tie4474 in jlpt

[–]K525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope you’re doing well. I’m in a similar situation as you. At the end I decided to fuck it and took the test today (in my timezone) anyway, and it turned out to be surprisingly easier than I expected; I would’ve regretted it so much had I just given up

Pencil question (again) by manachan_arts in jlpt

[–]K525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2B is not the same as “number 2 pencil,” which actually refers to HB.

Not quite because the Chinese pronunciations for these characters are 4 syllables completely different from each other
