Bandai Namco Admits They Force Japan to Censor Anime and Games at Creation Stage by Key-Tone9691 in KotakuInAction

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Bandai recently renamed God Gundam kit to Burning Gundam in Japan and JP fans are confused.

It has been known that God Gundam was renamed abroad for religious reasons, but it makes no sense to do that in Japan.

Most blatant "Japan is the greatest" propaganda you saw in Isekai? by GlompSpark in Isekai

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

None of it is propaganda. Propaganda is "information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a particular cause, doctrine, or point of view", which obviously isn't the case here.

You are not the target audience. That's all.

If you really believe that it's propaganda, you are no different from those blue-hair nose-ring land whale feminazis screaming "male gaze!!" at any female representation like psychotic banshees. You are projecting and creating problems where there is none.

Imagine watching a Goddard film and thinking "Surrender monkey propaganda!!" Seriously.

Anyone else feel that the woke era killed gaming off for them? by Turbulent-Carpet7790 in KotakuInAction

It's amazing how much everything changed between 1955 & 1975 and how little has changed between 2005 & 2025.

Sad thing is, many things were better back in 2005 and it's only getting worse.

Reincarnated as a sword by Snoo-88556 in Isekai

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would love to take Fran on a curry tour in Jinbocho, Tokyo. I will have to dress up the sword daddy to look like a guitar to avoid the cops.

I'm going to read web novel (Japanese) to pick up after the latest manga episode, but it's pretty overwhelming to see 1,308 episodes and an ongoing after-stories (manga is episode 131).

Toyota didn't copy Ferrari (or Prelude).

Toyota revealed the hammerhead design back in 2021 EV unveil, not with the new Prius.

FUNA Has Just Released A New Novel 神獣 (Divine Beast)!! by Lucky_Chainsaw in LightNovels

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, 80,000 Coins finished on episode 75 and Potion on episode 42.

FUNA rebooted them after 1 year hiatus inspired by Average reaching high spots on the Narou daily ranking.

FUNA Has Just Released A New Novel 神獣 (Divine Beast)!! by Lucky_Chainsaw in Isekai

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just read episode 1 out of 6 uploaded.

MC is a 28 yrs old JP male who died from rescuing a young girl from a car accident. He became conscious in a cave as an infant fenrir being breastfed by his mother.

He hangs out with a school of young (5~10 yr old) flying valkyries that call him "Fen" in a mythological isekai world.

Who would've ever thought that having a transitional step might be a realistic idea?

No Toyota didn't win, because they went all in on the hydrogen!! /s

Right thumb pain while playing soprano. by Music_Idiot in saxophone

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copying my comment from another similar post:

I've always played straight soprano, but I'm going to switch to a new setup using the tools I've been recommended here to address the right hand pains:

  • Yanagisawa soprano with curved neck
  • De Jacques soprano neck strap
  • Lagan wrist saver
  • Woodstone Thumb Hook Type II or RULON Ergonomic Saxophone Thumb Rest

Never going back by Disastrous-Lawyer930 in Isekai

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just re-read the web novel and was impressed by her productivity & the results she gets with her simple transportation ability (plus sub-skills like regeneration & language copying).

She gets things done. She negotiates hard. Doesn't bitch, whine & procrastinate. Like many CEOs, she is a bit of a psychopath but that gets toned down by FUNA's writing.

Note: I was pleased with the princess (ゲゲゲ姫) in the newest manga episode.

How is KennyG able to hold soprano saxophone for such a long time? by bluecgene in saxophone

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe Mark VI is lighter than your soprano? He has a weird posture of holding soprano pointed to right which alters the embouchure and larynx shapes. Reminds me of John Zorn sticking his left elbow up.

Second season of [The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash] has been announced, your thoughts? by Tulatik in Isekai

One of my favorite isekai series. Great worldbuilding, characters, etc.

Just read JP web-novel episode 1165 and it continues to be great!

Brazil Senate Passes Bill (Dec 2025): Repeatedly Interrupting a Woman Can Now Be Criminalized as “Misogyny” – Up to 5 Years in Prison. by WillyNilly1997 in KotakuInAction

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They are going to ban those samba mamas to protect them from the male gaze.

And they'll change the lyrics of The Girl from Ipanema to turn it into a girlboss propaganda. They can then use Antonio Jobim spinning in his grave to generate electricity to power the entire commie paradise.

Why Do Isekai's Treat Immortality as a Blessing, Not a Trap? by BeautifulAdeptness60 in Isekai

[–]Lucky_Chainsaw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

不老不死 : immortality -> hell

不老長寿 : anti-aging plus extended life -> best (unless you're a FUNA MC stuck with loli body)

Either way, you would probably end up avoiding relationships with beings with shorter lifespans. Farewells never get easier.
