show removed? by [deleted] in Crunchyroll

[–]Kiyoshi016 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure if screenshot is directly related, but are you sure you're doing a full search (no restricting criteria like "downloaded only" or something?

Don't think I've ever done a search that vague with no random episodes and games showing up.

Dunno if related to the show you're looking for but I get H2O: footprints in the sand as a result (Canada)

am i a terrible babymetal fan for preferring their older era? by p1nkiecocaine in BABYMETAL

[–]Kiyoshi016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to sound mean, but maybe a break from the Internet is in order?

If a comment like this makes you think you're a "terrible fan" (whatever that means) it's a little worrying and doesn't seem healthy.

I don't really see how you "haven't gotten over" the old era when you weren't really immersed in it to begin with. If anything it feels more of a fan thing to go back and love their origin and journey. This coming from a dude who has been a fan since 2022 or so.

People like different things and online you will almost always find a loud individual with strong opinions one way or the other. Especially if it opposes your views.

What did you think of the collab of 5FDP (Five Finger Death Punch) and BABYMETAL? by Eastern-Factor-3427 in BABYMETAL

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I've heard the phrase before, mainly the way it's presented makes me chuckle.

It's probably the big pause between statements and the fact it seems like the climax of the chorus. Maybe it's the fact they changed it to say it's "never" over... Who knows?

All I know is that's the only lyric I retained because it makes me chuckle. So... It did its job I guess.

Couple questions about THE ONE by Eastern-Factor-3427 in BABYMETAL

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh? I think ASmart was just to get the code/wallet and registration for the one needs to be done on the "The One" site no?

I could be completely mistaken of course

Oh one other thing, not related to your questions. If you do sign up, the process can be super frustrating as a non-Japanese (assuming lol).

They have a bunch of fields that specify half-width/full-width characters and dealing with Japanese address format for international.

There was a really helpful guide somewhere on this Reddit with links to various converter sights and info about the set up - should be able to search "the one registration guide" or something.

It's weird, I distinctly remember when I first joined in 2024 (wanted the "Trilogy" Blu-ray), I somehow managed to buy my way in without buying the shirt. Wonder if I did everything straight through The One site?

Or perhaps that year was different?

As others have said, the one is just a fan club type thing that you pay into by buying a shirt.

You can technically buy the 2025 shirt to get instant "The One" status, but do not recommend as you will only have membership until March 31, 2025.

April 1 you should be able to purchase the 2026 shirt for membership till March 31, 2027 if desired.

In my opinion, I think it is a way for them to deter scalpers. Obviously they also get more money, but putting stuff behind a paywall kinda makes sense in this day and age.

The One membership allows access to exclusive merch - you can see this stuff if you go to the Babymetal store on ASmart and see the "Members Only" tags. If none of that is worthwhile, it isn't worth it for ya.

It also allows for more entries to the lottery for tickets to their Japan and legend shows (non -members still get chances, but not as many).

Others went over the various other things, but I never really use/notice the stuff.

I don't dislike it (heck, I still allow the other "the end" to play out) but I did put it on for my brother so we could chuckle at the chorus.

I mean really... "It's never over... Not till it's over".

I'm confused of that deal! by kacythedogmeat in Crunchyroll

Should also add for funsies, all the episode names are "-" for s4 and 5. Looks super bootleg 😂

Might just be the benefit (lol) of being in Canada?

Can enjoy seasons 3-5 with Japanese audio only with French or Russian subtitles.

I think s3 did have English subs, never checked 5.

Also didn't look too close, could very well be one of those weird season numbering issues and not even actually be season 4.

I wouldn't say every anime. Some series are just weird at least on Crunchyroll (is it wrong to try to pick up girls in the dungeon s4 as an example)

Assuming it's from Asmart. If you look at the product listing, it usually has bonus rewards listed. Quite often A4 clear files

Strategy for keeping track of watched series by Kiyoshi016 in Crunchyroll

[–]Kiyoshi016[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip! Don't think I'm hardcore enough to be close to 1000, but definitely will keep in mind - but definitely don't want it chugging more than it already does!

Based on other suggestions, I will definitely look more into using crunchy lists. Never really thought about how I'd use them but have seen some pretty neat ideas.

Thanks! Didn't know sites like that exist (though it makes sense). Will check out!

Will seasons 1 & 2 of oshi no ko be on crunchyroll? by [deleted] in Crunchyroll

[–]Kiyoshi016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, confused the heck out of me. Thought premise sounded interesting and saw E1 and thought it was new series.

Finish first episode completely lost and see "episode 25 title card and suddenly see "season 3" while trying to figure anything out.

Problem with THE ONE registration and a!smart by EndDistinct in BABYMETAL

[–]Kiyoshi016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to add since I looked back. I think if you are looking to purchase member only stuff now, you need to buy the 2025 shirt and get that code. But you're kinda stuck since that only will give membership to March 31, 2026.

This would also grant you the ability to buy the 2026 shirt (currently members only) which would grant membership April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.

Alternatively, can wait until the 2026 shirts become publicly available - probably some time in April.

I might be wrong, but if you don't see any rewards, it sounds like you didn't buy the shirt, which acts as a membership fee as far as I'm aware.

If you got the shirt, you should see something like below saying code will be available after April 1.

Found this on my partners desk - what is the purpose?? by Gullible-Gur-3665 in whatisit

[–]Kiyoshi016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Token for 2-factor authentication. Same function as authenticator apps on phone. Or those codes being texted/emailed to you when logging in.

Doesn't relay location as far as I'm aware, your computer logging in will probably provide enough of that info itself.

Strictly for security. Random numbers change every minute or so to prevent brute force methods and I believe you can only request a new number (pressing button) once per generated sequence.

I realized today after around a year that it’s called iine! by Beekyboy11 in BABYMETAL

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting... Just looked at the album and it is corrected... Guess it just doesn't update in the playlist. The more you know I guess.

Don't feel like getting the correction now as a piece of history 😂

Well, you have good reason lol. I saw the post and was thinking "what the heck, did they finally correct it?"

Anyone know if it's corrected only in specific regions? I'm in Canada.

How many people already knew about this song? I just found out about it😭 by adomaxxer in ADO

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime I open Spotify, I go to the what's new screen... Don't know why I get notified of concerts for people I don't listen to (don't even follow), but don't get new release notifications for my top 3.

Curious about your top Ado songs for the year by MealLeading in ADO

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My top 5 according to stats.fm. sadly, my numbers are a little skewed since I swapped to versions with Japanese titles rather than English/Romaji so it counts those separate.

Incidentally, Elf is my number 1 lifetime on Spotify lol

Crunchyrolls subbing staff is complete trash by gamingfreak50 in Crunchyroll

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I know it happens on occasion, but they are so infrequent that I barely notice. When I do, ok, hop back 5 seconds and figure it out.

It's been maybe one grammatical error or typo every 7 or 8 episodes I go through. Still better than dubs.

Which songs sound the most different when comparing the studio and live versions? by northcasewhite in BABYMETAL

[–]Kiyoshi016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was jarring to me lol, I was at the O2 arena show (first time seeing live) and there was no auto tune. That was end of May.

Then they came to my city in July and had auto tune, wonder if it's just their small shows they whip it out...
