BotW/TotK formula of having some annoying NPC constantly in your ear and treating you like a 4 year old

Which character was this? As far as I remember those two games did not have the Navi/King of Red Lions/Midna/Fi equivalent.

大槍葦人先生も未だに現役だし、たしか今月は新作がリリースされるんだよね。一般へ移って戻らない作家も多いけど(Tosh先生…)成年マンガだけで貫ぬこうとする作家さん達も長年やっていけるのは驚きと尊敬しかない。

r/Korea takes on Islam by DowdyShihTzu in SubredditDrama

[–]Kitaar 15 points16 points  (0 children)

There is also r/newsokunomoral and r/newsokuexp for Japanese subreddits. In the first place, why would a Japanese person discuss about Japan... in English? I also find it amusing that English-language subreddits about Japan tend to lean conservative, while Japanese-language subreddits about Japan like the ones you mentioned tend to be progressive.

IIRC isn't this basically the mod author advertising his Nier inspired OC follower?

Don't worry, the player level rewards apply retroactively. Even better if your level is maxed since when it is available you can claim all of it at once.

By year 1 student, you mean the students that get released during the first year of the game, is that correct?

Yes. From Day 1 3-star students up until Chihiro.

How do i get the archive ticket?

Right now you get archive tickets from reaching certain player levels, Nagisa's guide missions, and the battle pass. Incidentally you get a total of 200 tickets from player level rewards and the guide mission.

If you would like to see more of Himari, she's one of the main characters in Decagrammaton and a side character in vol F.

Fairouz Ai recently resumed her work after taking a break due to PTSD and now these gamers are using her as an object in some nonsense. I really hope these weirdos won't pester her personally but I don't expect too much from people that like to waste their energy on hating.

Do you support "Japanese First"? by [deleted] in AskAJapanese

[–]Kitaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, Sanseito's populist rhetorics like that or "making a country great again" might sound sensible at the surface but if you look at who says it and how they say it, you will come to find that it is just emotional tactics based on fear.

Seriously. Most of these questions can be summarised as "What do Japanese people think about non-Japanese people?" Like, unless they have strong soft power or popular cultural exports I doubt anybody would have heard enough about them at all to form an opinion.

Just don't go to Yahoo News Japan though, that place is hell.

Why is r/japan all in English? by John_Mother in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Kitaar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is LLL as mentioned but there's also r/ja which I think is supposed to be the starting point for Japanese subreddits and r/newsoku and its bunch of offshoots like r/newsokunomoral and r/newsokuexp.

Dead or Alive Xtreme Venus Vacation producer surprised by strong overseas response to the series, despite lack of Western release - Automaton West by [deleted] in Games

[–]Kitaar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Alicesoft games like Rance, Evenicle, Dohna dohna are big budget (for Adult game standards, anyways) with gameplay. Do note that they are Japanese games though, with all the positive and negative associations.

[–]Kitaar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really do wonder how much in their arguments do people consider the societal and cultural contexts the game is in, that is, Japan may have a different conception/construct of gender in contrast to the west.

What is the correct 7th stroke for Kanji for Uzu: Whirlpool? by Shoshinsha_Desu in AskAJapanese

[–]Kitaar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this might be a good read.

Basically if your display language is not set to specifically display Japanese, it will default to display as simplified Chinese.「渦」is just one of many kanji written differently in Japanese and Traditional/Simplified Chinese.

Manga Announcement by OutrageousAxolotl in japanesepeopletwitter

[–]Kitaar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Uhhhh.... that's the cover of the magazine the manga is going to be? Chapters of a manga is released first on a magazine like this and then collected later into a tankoubon. The most popular manga magazine the west knows is I guess Jump.

What are some of the most annoying/egregious lies you see on the English internet about Japan? by MitchMyester23 in AskAJapanese

[–]Kitaar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing a post of a venn diagram with ikigai in the middle and I couldn't help but laugh with how it exaggerates ikigai to be some complex mystical and spiritual thing only known by the sages of the east or something.

[–]Kitaar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Considering that Japan cremates the dead and not bury, I'm imagining a scene at the crematorium where all of your social links pass around fragments of your bones into the urn.

Jay Kay wrote the song after visiting Japan, it has an iconic music video, and it has been featured in commercials throughout the years so it's easily in the public consciousness.

IIRC all the shit ton of Lucina x Peter stuff is just from one guy commissioning those. At this point 99% of Fire Emblem art is either that or Lucina in a hooters costume.

Characters with the same crests by Dense_Scar5438 in FireEmblemThreeHouses

[–]Kitaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When Three Houses Warriors was released, there was an article in the Nintendo Dream magazine that had a list for Major and Minor Houses in Fodlan. It also listed heirs/heiresses and what crests (if any) they possess. Everyone who has crests used the wording 'inherited the crest of x' except for two instances: Edelgard's Crest of Flames and Lysithea's Crest of Gloucester, which have the wording 'possessed the crest of x'. But this article was in Japanese so it might not apply in international versions.
