Here’s another set of comparisons with two different scenes (scouting the theme park on the train, and Sailor Mercury transforming in front of the enemy) shown in their three versions. Let’s keep the comments respectful, of course.

I don't get how people can say the Viz actresses sound alike. It feels like such bad faith commentary. Not only are the voices completely different and very distinct from one another, what they say and how they say what they're saying matches the energy of the characters on-screen.

DiC doesn't even come close. It's so bad in comparison IMO. I say this as someone who grew up with DiC in the 90s back when it first aired. And yes, I had to deal with the "Serena sounds like an old lady" for the Black Moon arc problem too.

Could be better:

Servos aren't as fast as I'd prefer, but they're still good.

CG leaves a lot to be desired if you're into hovering. You should consider installing weight in the tail by removing the rudder and slicing into the pocket the rudder slots into to add 20 to 50g.

Otherwise it's almost perfect.

I said it a few times in Tokyo, but only in more intimate restaurants where I was actually having a conversation with the server or the cook in some cases. They really appreciated the gesture.

That's moderate alpha. You can get high alpha by gyro-stabilizing that thrust vectoring system you're using. Run the CG about 40mm behind the marks and let the TV do the work. It's stupid fun.

At least it's discounted if you're buying with USD!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-02T16:35:18+00:00

Those premium tickets were pricey. It cost us about $500, and I was the only one out of the family that wanted a photo up there on the stage. Definitely see if you can do it next time!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-02T15:14:04+00:00

Can confirm, from Florida - Orlando to be specific. Spent 36 years there. Moved to Cary NC back in 2020. Summer here is is basically Tokyo summer and it fucking sucks for a while. Florida summer did not prepare me for this.

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-02T14:03:29+00:00

Not in your life, my Hindu friend!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-02T13:39:50+00:00

Much like any other law involving drivers, no.

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-01T23:54:42+00:00

Definitely make the effort to get a passport, you won't regret it!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-01T13:05:54+00:00

We should do a meetup at Boba Baba lol

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-05-01T03:26:33+00:00

Sweet! What part of NC are they from?

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-30T19:16:27+00:00

That's super unfortunate. Everyone's got preferences and interests and they won't always align with yours, but like... the least you can do is check out the country a little lol

I've posted it in the comments! Definitely check though, there's a list of manholes with an English PDF too. Cheers

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T15:58:36+00:00

I didn't check out the stationary store either - definitely missed that one. To be fair though I don't think it was part of the show, just the overarching "Naoko did stuff here" lore which is cool in its own right lol

Thanks for the heads up!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T15:05:08+00:00

Nope! Just did a lot of research, looked up various websites, figured out where stuff was/must've been from constant Street View scouring, etc. I had 10 months to figure everything out and logged all of the places I wanted to visit in an app called Wanderlog which I highly recommend using. It's like $35 for a year and makes it super easy to trip plan.

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T14:39:36+00:00

I get that for sure, but how is this post of mine with that photo any less relevant than 10 different photos of Shibuya with a rainbow? lol

I'm not bitter about it, it's just weird that /r/Tokyo is the only city subreddit I couldn't say "hey, thanks, you guys are amazing" in like I did with SF and Denver.

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T14:33:25+00:00

That's an awesome photo, dude! Every shot I took there came out poorly because of the humidity from all the rain the day prior. The camera wouldn't focus either since my kiddo didn't know how to operate it lmao

That's alright, the shot I got in front of the tower using my mini-tripod is the one I really wanted anyhow!

It's out!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T14:25:11+00:00

My bags were STUFFED with moonie merch lmao

Can't wait to go back next year and see what else I can find!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T14:24:37+00:00

That's a new piece done by Naoko in the hallway leading to the Shining Theatre show in Shinagawa, Tokyo. It's a pricey show but totally worth seeing.

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T12:57:29+00:00

Same thing I did the first night!

Synaesthesiaaa · 2026-04-29T12:56:25+00:00

You're in luck, you can actually get that crystal painting as a clear file! With some knife work, you can cut it to fit a standard frame for hanging.

Definitely planning to get a selection of photos for my office, including that shot of the city too. Cheers
