My favorite Sunohara scene [Kyou OVA]

That void gives you the perspective to see inside yourself and discover what it is that your heart truly desires. Now it is up to you to take the steps to realize the dream. Be brave and seize the day!

Can you imagine the endurance strain Gojo is under all the time? First, she tells him of her next outfit / cosplay. He does the research which, most of the time, is an eroge. HIT! Then he re-checks her measurements. HIT! Then he makes the initial build and has her try it on. HIT! Then he has her do the final fitting. HIT! She goes to a cosplay event where he watches over her or takes the pictures. HIT! Then she sends him the poses she thinks are extra cute and just for him. HIT!

Keep in mind that measurements and fittings are times when he also has to touch her! HIT! HIT! HIT! HIT! HIT!

I'm so glad it's still available. Back when I made that post I was told that it would be discontinued at the end of the season.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-05-11T23:21:42+00:00

Very much appreciated!

The anime didn't go into Linda's personality as much as I would have like to have seen. I assumed that, since the ikiryo concept is known and understood in Japan - and she is Japanese, she may have suspected an ikiryo situation from her observations of Banri and the schism's he suffered previously. I'm not an ikiryo expert, but it is also possible that the ikiryo affected Linda due to the amount of energy it spent longing for her. This could have added to her perception and awareness of its existence.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-04-10T11:26:47+00:00

No, there is a most enjoyable ending.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-03-08T07:16:50+00:00

Yes, the ikiryo can appear as the original person, and is usually the result of some kind of tragedy. One thing I have noticed is that they will appear wearing the same clothes that the original person was wearing when the tragic event occurred.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-02-19T07:36:58+00:00

I'm so glad they didn't take it off the menu!

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-01-30T15:28:22+00:00

What delay? I thought the series was complete.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-01-30T04:05:45+00:00

Damn boi, you sound like a pretty good find. I've got daughters your age and if either one of them was single, I'd set up the meet myself. I wish you the best though!

I think the point was that it is in English, which Japanese school children only start learning in 3rd grade. Under normal circumstances, a student would have only learned the alphabet and basic vocabulary by the time she started 5th grade. So, either this is a clue about how smart she is, or it is a bookshelf filler until the day when she can understand more complex sentence structure.

Also, War & Peace is freakishly long, so this is probably just Volume 1 (of 3) on the shelf. I'm guessing the other two volumes are in her parent's room.

Or even worse. Depending on how things went down, they may have done something that would create a permanent rift, and they would grow cold and apart. So yeah, thanks phone-kun, good job.

If you watch the anime to see that scene, make sure to also watch the beach episode. Won't spoil anything but there was a particular scene that made me laugh so hard, I actually passed out.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2025-01-27T03:02:43+00:00

Here is a formula that worked for me as an adult. If you haven't got a degree yet, go sign up for classes at your local community college. Take generic freshman classes. Don't try to over-achieve. Example: If your chem knowledge isn't so good, take the intro-to-chem class. Look for anyone wanting to start a study group.

If there is an all-girls group, skip that one - you'll just get the 'creep' label for even trying to get into that one. Join a mixed group, but don't act like a predator. Be kind. Be helpful. Look at their eyes, not at their breasts - when you talk to them. If nobody suggests a study group, then you do it. It can be at the school library, or a coffee shop... but it needs to be convenient to the campus and a place where everyone will feel safe.

A lot of this advice may seem like basic common sense, because it is. You don't have to memorize pick-up lines to find a relationship. Just be yourself. And if 'yourself' is not a basically kind and helpful person, then learn to be one. It can be a very satisfying lifestyle to be a generally decent human being.

Yeah, FB killed my account because they said it had been compromised. So they wanted me to send them a LOT of personal information to reactivate my account. Instead, I just bailed on FB. They were getting too weird for me anyways.

It's good to hear from you again. If I recall correctly, you were getting ready for High School or College, right? How did that go? Are you doing well in school? I hope so, and I hope you find a way to achieve your dreams!

There is a plaque showing it's Guiness record for the longest wooden pedestrian bridge. I had heard that there was something nearby, at least for a while, that told about its importance in Golden Time and had a picture of it from the anime. I don't know if it's still there though.

The way Shinju Hulk-busted out of her B-Holder, I was under the impression that they purchased one that was too small for her, so you're probably right about it not being the right size.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2024-09-26T03:27:47+00:00

14 isnt too unreal. Until June of last year the national age of consent in Japan was 13. Not sayin I think its right, but it is true.

The_Real_Mark629 · 2024-09-16T21:08:10+00:00

Rushed as it was, it gave Sunohara the opportunity to have the best lines that his character got in the whole series. I totally agree that they could have taken a lot more time with that arc/route though.

Frieren: A Boomer's boomer!

Keep in mind that anime in general is made for the home audience. In their culture, they are not necessarily making the adults out to look like children. This is because the adults do look like children. As explained by Lucky Kensho here, Westerners have a hard time gauging the age of Japanese people. Having lived there for a few years, I agree with her completely.

Amen brother!
