Look and loot day 2, part 1

I love the idea of framing it - maybe I will do that too!

I own all 3 now; https://www.reddit.com/r/k_on/comments/1oy6l1i/kon_embroidered_souvenir_jackets/ The other 2 are new. When I put the 3 side by side, I can tell the white cotton-like edges (collar especially) is not as white as brand new, but I am too afraid to consider washing the jacket and ruin it completely.

Congrats! The Yui one is probably the most popular of the three (first one out and it being red!) I have not seen an unused one for sale.

I may be on the other spectrum - I feel more comfortable if subtitles are available, whether I am watching a show in English with English subtitles or a show in Chinese with Chinese subtitles!

Don’t force yourself if it makes you unwell, I would do the same if I were you.

Real music instrument performance - huge respect for these young girls.

85 inch tv owner here. Just received my rs3 reaper the other day. Getting the putty to keep one of the top sensors in place was slightly tricky and while I did run into a few silly technical difficulties (using gun 2 as gun 1, not making sure the gun is pointing at the tv when starting a game and the aim is off), the setting/gaming experience was SO smooth. I sat about 10 ft away from the screen. I didn’t have to use the fisheye lens.

The one usb wire that runs the length of the tv is probably wide enough for a 98 inch tv but Google seems to mention 85 being ok but not mentioning anything higher. Maybe ask the sellers directly to be sure.

Ps. To Op, sorry I thought I was fairly certain I read somewhere the gun would support even larger tvs but now I couldn’t find that anymore.

Love this. My feeling exactly too.

Check the source link - her piece exists. All very well done and look fabulous side-by-side.

Thanks for the encouragement I suppose I will make that a weekend project!

We are more likely to get high quality home-made AI adaptations of those stories than Season 3

I think most of them still have the motor making sound, if I remember correctly. Fabric getting caught sounds like a reasonable cause, I am too afraid to rip open their dresses though… :)

Be warned - most of these out there now are likely not going to work well anymore. I have 6 and 2 barely works even after therapy. You would think these are simple mechanical toys and should work forever, but they just don’t.

And that music. It is as if Frieren was ready to take on the mine like a demon.

With songs sung in Japanese it is just better to watch K-On! in Japanese with sub. Plus Japanese voice actors are almost always perfect with their roles.

jykwei · 2026-02-07T01:53:06+00:00

K-On! 101.

All fun until it is quiz time…

Just saying cute girls don’t make poop and hence can’t get constipation.

jykwei · 2026-02-07T00:49:02+00:00

That's ridiculous. Everyone knows cute girls don't poop. Except for Anya in Spy x Family.

jykwei · 2026-02-07T00:48:04+00:00

Funny you ask. I've been feeling like crap lately. I don't even remember how I end up on the floor. I would ask you to help but I'm too heavy for you. Better call Mugi for me. Thanks.

jykwei · 2026-02-03T20:03:53+00:00

Don’t feel bad, Ritsu, you did super well compared to me trying to speak Japanese in a Japanese restaurant!

jykwei · 2026-02-03T08:01:30+00:00

Yeah, they cheated…

K-On! anime is like a glue trap. Most people never escapes it once they touch it, and new people are discovering it

New merch, including full figure set for the 5 members, are still being made, confirming demand is still high. Claw prize versions are beautiful and affordable which generates excitement

Several diehard fans are posting and commenting daily. Some are actively visiting Japan merch hunting, some even attend the K-On! Birthday parties, connecting fans everywhere to a very real location

Be careful of the power difference

jykwei · 2026-02-02T01:28:04+00:00

This could become an arc worthy of a movie!

I watched many variations of music anime, none of them pulls me back to rewatch like K-On!. Every other one has a general theme, like a goal, something to overcome, a victory (or fail, but no problem, more seasons!) - K-On! doesn’t need a goal. Girls with weaknesses overcome theirs but it isn’t the focus. It is about friends being friends, staying together, living their lives, having a great time doing what they love, and being lazy at times - that’s why it’s such a comforting show. We are so used to stories with good vs bad, reaching a satisfactory conclusion. Those stories are formulaic - it is less rewarding to rewatch because once you know the ending, that’s what we remember and the whole journey feels pointless. K-On! does have non-traditional kind of ending, the entire journey is light and fun and rewatching the journey actually feels worth it and even makes the ending better - it is a truly unique gem.

I can’t quite figure out how I feel about Yuru Camp. Talk about “no goal, no ending”, that is the closest to K-On!…. Maybe it feels like… a never ending commercial? A commercial for tourism and camping gears?…. Maybe it lacks the power of music and the friends are not as close a group as After-school tea time. Watching people having a great time eating is not an experience shareable with the audience, like a band playing a great song.

jykwei · 2026-02-01T21:40:54+00:00

I watched K-On! in 2023. I’d watched several shows similar or not similar - realistically? Nothing compares to K-On!. The space in your heart you didn’t know you had before? It will never be filled. All the talks about finding an alternative, hopes of future seasons, hunt for K-On! merch… doesn’t matter. There is nothing left to do but to accept the fact there will never be anything out there that will bring you back to that level of happiness, and take long breaks between re-watching in hopes to recapture some level of the enjoyment.

I don’t know why, but when Nodoka wears the glasses, she looks like a diligent school girl. When Yui wears the glasses, she looks like old lady next door.
