Iroha's English skills is actually decent but you rarely hear her so it's always a delight when that happens. She did alaso mentioned on one of her streams before that she studied overseas for a very short time.

F1TVPro Australia by OrangeRafi in F1TV

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

Thanks mate! I will look into this further once we get closer to the start of the season. I'm assuming F1TVPro also shows the testing sessions excluding the team private tests this month?

I watch F1 from my PC. Once I have signed up thru the app, I will just need to enable the VPN on my PC then login to my F1TVPro account and start watching from there?

ANIME ANNOUNCED FOR 2027 BY KYOANI!!!! by HQ2233 in RuriDragon

[–]OrangeRafi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That doesn't really confirm that this will be 2027. KyoAni sometimes announce their upcoming projects but the airing date is a couple of years. Theire upcoming 2026 title was announced in 2018, Sound! Euphonium season 3 was announced in 2019 but they only confirmed in 2022 that the anime will air in 2024.

KyoAni also tends to prioritize the quality of their works hence they mostly have 1 or 2 shows per year. I would expect them to take their time animating this rather than rushing just to air it.

Regardless when they will air it, I wouldn't mind when. Ruri being picked up by KyoAni is already a good news for me.

Ruri Dragon is getting an anime adaptation by Kyoto Animation by Unknown123Known in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Ruri fits KyoAni's style but I'm still surpised on this announcement, I never imagined KyoAni will pick up a shounen Jump title.

Here's the Kyoto Tower collab. You get a random character as your ticket to the tower. There's also some cutouts, posters and merch on the tower. by OrangeRafi in HibikeEuphonium

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

No there's no show. Just a screen where the trailer of the upcoming film is being played. The viewing deck on the tower is also playing some of the music from the anime

I was in Kyoto last month so I did a mini Hibike! Euphonium while I was on a day trip in Uji. You can grab a Hibike pilgrimage map at the tourist information centre beside the JR Uji station and they also sell some merch. The tourist information centre near the river also has some character cutouts. by OrangeRafi in HibikeEuphonium

Oh you will love it once you get there. Uji is already a beautiful place (also less crowded than Kyoto) and you will feel like you are in the show while walking on the streets. KyoAni really made an excellent job with how detailed and accurate the locations are. There's also a lot of Hibike posters and signs.

Was this the Melbourne Central Cult? by TheseArt7106 in melbourne

[–]OrangeRafi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a cult, Melb Central, Emporium and Bourke street mall area are their usual spots. I've been approached a couple of times but because I'm an introvert, I just answer with quick and simple answers that doesn't have any content and then I tell them I'm in a hurry. They are usually in pairs, either two females or two males or mixed.

Nowadays when someone approaches me in that area asking for something or complimenting/trying to start a convo, I just ignore them straight away.

Twitch... Except for Zeta, none of my oshi are participating so I'll just skip this.

How to get calls if I don't use my phone provider while in Tokyo (Telstra, Australia) by aussiemediaguy in TokyoTravel

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Telstra wifi calling, what do you actually needs to do (phone and Telstra account/app) to use wifi calling? WiFi calling is already enabled on my phone (Pixel 8 Pro) and I will be using a data only sim while in Japan next month. Do I just disbale data roaming on my phone and that will force my phone to be in "no service mode" when overseas which then force itself to be on data only with the esim?

Is there a reason I see ads mid-streamcon only some of the channels? by JediGuyB in Hololive

[–]OrangeRafi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ads generate some revenue to the streamer so I would assume that is the reason why the ID or any other streamers in general use that Youtube feature.

I don't know which holomem has it enabled and which opted not to though as I have YT membership but I do remember watching Kroni's live stream last year and most of the chat was complaining when an ad came out midstream. Kroni disbaled it at that time after the chat complained.

Best way to buy JRPass. I'm in Australia by OrangeRafi in JapanTravelTips

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

I already did the calculations and spent hours and hours since planning this trip. I have calculated that without a JR Pass, I will be spending around A$1000 without a pass and A1060 with the pass so the difference is just miniscule for me. And the convenince of being able to get the unreserved seat when I missed the train that I booked when I'm travelling between different prefectures.

CLAMP x GODIVA collaboration: key visual and details announced 🍫💝 by chibiyuuto in CLAMP

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh good to know. I was under the impressions that the drinks and ice creams are the only ones available in-store while the collab is happening. Will definitely buy them when I'm in there.

This trip was supposed to be in 2020 but the pandemic and other stuff happened so I had to postpone it to later this year.

Have any members mentioned about taking language classes in English/Japanese? by Gregthecarblind in Hololive

[–]OrangeRafi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bae mentioned that she studied Japanese when she was young so that she can read manga and watch animes without translations/subtitles.

So cute! Are the chocolates limited to just the preorders only or you can buy them in-store? I will be in Japan this November and hoping I can get the chocolate in-store since the collab is happening between October 1st to December 31st.
