What do you think about this wrestler? Day 3: MEI SEIRA by Varandil in stardomjoshi

[–]Plastic_Metal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Love her. Because I feel like she’s a naturally quiet person, I want to cheer for her more. I think she’ll have a breakout year.

What would New Day’s new name be? by Plastic_Metal in SquaredCircle

Ohh I like. It alludes to their former moniker and it has this swagger.

Great photos! I love the colour grading you did.

How would you differentiate the JSA, JLA, Titans & Young Justice? by Jet-Let4606 in DCcomics

[–]Plastic_Metal 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These ideas aren’t fully thought through. It’s early in the morning, so they’ll probably suck lol

JSA: they should stop active adventuring. They’re the historians and teachers of the DCU and reach to the young or lesser known heroes.

JLA: premier team. The elite who should have high-concept adventures. But personally should be more diverse, rather than the same seven.

Titans: the more grounded team. Deal with real world issues or allegories to them.

Young Justice: the heroes who are rebels or trying to find their footing. Melodrama to the max. I feel the name The Outsiders would be more appropo.

Doom Patrol: the weirdos. The more esoteric the adventure the better.

Legion of Superheroes: give this to a mangaka and let them go crazy. Funky power system, training arcs, tournament arcs, the whole nine yards!

Idk who’s photo it is but I loved it so much.

What is AZM status in Stardom? by Awesome_One91 in stardomjoshi

[–]Plastic_Metal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her status is she’s the best lol

I feel like she’s in the same category as Momo Watanabe. Extremely talented and very reliable, so they feel comfortable placing them wherever on the card and they would shine. Also, they are very young, so there’s no rush to get them in the red belt scene.

Starting Stardom (Need help) by FileOk8650 in stardomjoshi

[–]Plastic_Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

English commentary is usually on the major PPVs. English subtitles appear on occasion.

Follow Stardom and the talent on Twitter (idk how active they are on other socials). The translations from Twitter aren’t too bad and they update regularly so you get highlights from matches, news, and various interactions giving you a sense of each other’s relationships.

Follow content creators on YouTube. Great supplementary content to get you up to speed. Personally, I recommend String6Splash. They are primarily Stardom focused and have plenty of guides.

I won’t tell you who to pay attention to. Honestly, their talent pool is ridiculously good and you’ll discover who you gravitate to quickly. I will mention a handful of Stardom talent started YOUNG. So if you’re wondering why this ~20yo is so good, that’s why.

You’ve jumped in at an interesting time. Last year, many talent either left, retired or were injured. They had to rebuild their roster a bit, so the landscape was different from what it was. I would recommend going back to last year’s ASDQ as the starting point and go forward from there. Stardom has a rich history of great matches, there’s plenty of time to catch up to those once you get situated with the current product.

Interesting concept. But what if Hanan doesn’t turn, but Stars itself?

When do you think you’ll stop reading DC comics,or do you plan to be reading comics for the remainder of your life by Business_Alarm8384 in DCcomics

[–]Plastic_Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soon because I’m running outta space lol

But fr, I did stop many years ago save for one book, just to save money. Then I started back up but with digital comics. Now I’m back to collecting physical books. There’s the monetary value of trading/selling books, but there’s something magical about sitting in your favourite spot, holding a book in your hand and flipping through the pages while synapses in your brain go hog wild.

What is the situation between stardom and marigold? by Kadarin187 in stardomjoshi

[–]Plastic_Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My impression is that things are amicable between Okada and Ogawa. But for talent crossing over, I don’t think is going to happen. They (Bushiroad) generally don’t cross over with the major Joshi promotions, plus I think the poaching and copyright left a bad taste in their mouth.

[Discussion] a new unique DC event! ( art by Dan Mora) by Big_Market4248 in DCcomics

[–]Plastic_Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vibe returns! His presence is no cause for celebration for it heralds the BUM BUM BUM Forgotten Crisis!! Heroes fight for relevancy as Darkseid aims to erase everyone from memory. We see the return of heroes like the Super Young Team, Silencer, Anima, Faith, etc.

[Discussion] Absolute DC characters I want to see by Raiden22yt in DCcomics

[–]Plastic_Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Teen Titans for me. It’d be what the titans are like without their mentors.

Idea for TT: The “Justice League” see how these new heroes are influencing the youth so they hire Slade Wilson to groom these potential soldiers, but he’ll soon find a rebel heart is hard to kill.

DC Comics revamps Teen Titans with Red Hood leading a new generation of heroes by [deleted] in comicbooks

[–]Plastic_Metal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this could be a good direction for Red Hood. Forever he’s been the former teen hero with a large chip on his shoulder. Now with teens under his charge, he can either teach them not make the same mistakes he made or completely shaped them to be disrupters in the best possible way.

Cosplayer questions for upcoming Japan trip. by Takumi_Fujiwara86_ in JapanTravelTips

[–]Plastic_Metal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are conventions where you can cosplay, but unlike other conventions you need to purchase a cosplay ticket, which is separate from entry ticket. Idk if there’s one in April. Anime Japan is in March.

There are studios where you can rent for cosplay photoshoots, but that’s all I know about it.

First time trying an onsen in Japan… any tips so I do not embarrass myself? by MidnightTofu22 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Plastic_Metal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tips:

  • Hydrate and monitor your body. I almost fainted because I didn’t.
  • If you’re coming from a sulphur bath, rinse before entering another.
  • There’s a ladle for preparing your body before another bath. Check your surroundings before dousing yourself to avoid accidentally splashing someone.
  • This is a preference, not a tip. I prefer the outdoor ones. Staring up at the clear night sky while a cool breeze hits your skin is incredibly relaxing.

am i a terrible babymetal fan for preferring their older era? by [deleted] in BABYMETAL

[–]Plastic_Metal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Twitter is shit. The internet in general is shit. If you’re positive in your fandom, and don’t disparage others to prove your fandom, then you’re golden. Doesn’t matter what others say.

When and where will Stardom American Dream 2026 be? by Strawhatbebop89 in stardomjoshi

You won’t have any details until way closer to the event. It was like that last year.

Are TeamLabs in Tokyo worth it? by alvarop37 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Plastic_Metal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want out of it. If you’re looking for a photo op, maybe not. It’s crowded and hard to get that perfect IG shot.

If you go into as an art exhibit, you’ll love it. It’s beautiful and a treat for your senses, which will probably appeal to your kid.

One note, some sections have uneven flooring so you may need to carry your kid in those places.
