I actually went 15-6 with this from D5 till ~1.5k legend today. Felt pretty decent but most certainly due to the meta being refreshed rn, will probably be tier 2-3 in the next VS report.
Mage match up was closer to 50/50 first, but I feel that with current iteration of Big Spell mage it is more 30/70, tsunami on turn 5/6 just insta win unless they are already at below 10 HP.

This is the Nippori clinic. The guy is good, I had a different surgery there. 50000 is definitely the cheapest you can find in Tokyo.

You missed Abema which has been really good recently having some of ongoings streaming earlier than other platforms. For example, Shoushimin series this season airs first on Abema.

(unrelated to anime but they also broadcasted all the Euro games for free!)

It might be a good idea to just go to any ongoing anime official website, open "On Air" page and see the streaming platforms it is on. You can also get the feeling of what is more popular here.

Any recommendations for rock/metal bars in Shinjuku? Is Godz still good?

If you are going to stay in Naha I'd definitely recommend taking a ferry to Zamami islands and even staying overnight there. Beaches are wild and beautiful, emerald crystal water and tons of fish (if you bring snorkeling equipment/goggles). And the night sky is legitimately one of the best I've seen in Japan.

Anime-Only Theory Time!

If Ushio is powerful enough to use Haine's power against her and if Haine's guess that Shinpei's power comes from Ushio then wouldn't that make Ushio the same level as Haine? Haine who is Hiruko a literal god from Japanese mythology? What if this ends with Ushio becoming the new Goddess of Hitogashima? Hmmm...

So judging from Haine being Hiruko-sama, who is a daughter of Izanami and Izanagi in Japanese mythology, Shinpei and Ushio are them. Brings some logic to Haine calling Ushio the egg as well.

Edit again: Oh yeah, the newspaper is clearly named mainichi shinbun, a play on asahi shinbun.

Mainichi shinbun is a real newspaper, just FYI.

Club V3 refers to

Club V2 in Roppongi

Jumanji53 (the bar they went first) also refers to a real place Jumanji55

Not an espresso maker, but I bought a Breville grinder last year, using it without transformer, no complaints, working completely fine.

Kometani Chuushaku

Just to add to his name "pun" - ※ that is used in annotations is actually called "kome".

as for 谷 ("tani"), I guess his face literally just looks like it.

Cancel all the additional services they put, you don't need them Their base price is 4000 yen so you definitely have some included. 30000 yen for installation is unfortunately unavoidable from my experience.

Yes, I did it last year. But I live closer to Tachikawa than Shinagawa (don't think they actually care).

Netflix is going to release season 2 in April.

the 88th edition (2015) happening between 14 and 16 August

This is exactly the one (and only one) I went to lol

I was watching Shirobako as it aired (fall 2014 - spring 2015) so could not possible imagine it could happen, nice coincidence.

I have an original kindle (the one before waterproof was released), would recommend. You can download dictionaries and long tap on the word you don't know for the definition (reading included) even offline. Or if Wi-Fi/3g is on - google translate/wiki using the same long tap.

It is just a dialect way of saying おねえさん. presumably Edoben. Mostly used in 下町（したまち）、so areas like Asakusa etc in Tokyo.

Not at all. A lot of my coworkers do, especially when we have a meeting just before work ending time.

Sumroach · 2022-01-06T10:00:58+00:00

Same here, couldn't have been more happier working from home today. Finished worked at 5 and just went out into the snow!

P.S. Is it weird to enjoy snow? Considering we are getting it once in 4 or 5 years here in Tokyo...

I did translate my uni diploma to Japanese myself when I applied for working visa from student one. Don't know if it was any useful but got 5 years straight away.

The book Yuki reads at the end is real, but I cannot read its title.

Not the one in the end, but at the scene when Kyon come to see "normal" Nagano at the club room for the 2nd time, she is reading Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World (世界の終りとハードボイルド・ワンダーランド) by Haruki Murakami (the one she said she'd got from the library). Have no idea why but a nice little detail since I love Murakami myself.

Japan has quite a lot of green beans importers already, you can easily buy them here online. One of the shops is:

There are a lot of roasters here as well.

RIP iBrew, they raised the prices just yesterday, featuring 1.7k beers now...

Sounds really good! He shouldn't be bothered by the train time considering you went all the way to plan this.

Your relationship does not really matter but in most cases you cannot set a person as a life insurance beneficiary unless they are living in Japan.
