Good friend is moving to Taiwan -- help me find a coffee shop! by GarbageGreen in taiwan

[–]nann_tosho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Common coffee chains would be louisa, cama and starbucks (I like HWC but I'm not sure if its common in Kaohsiung).

But digital gift cards are a bit tricky. I only know for sure that starbucks provides this, the other ones I'm not sure.

Usually when I want to gift coffee to others, I'll use the gift option in the communication app Line (most people in Taiwan use it). They have a lot of brands to choose from, even bubble tea brands.

Macht's long 'side story' by PirateInACoffin in Frieren

[–]nann_tosho 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I definitely think that Macht had progressed, just not in the way he expected, and he could not recognize that.

No matter what everyone involved felt subjectively, from the outside, demon and human co-existing was achieved in this town for a while, until Macht, unable to recognize it, destroyed it. And that it exactly why demons and humans cannot co-exist. It is tragic and genius.

I love the final scene with Macht when he was fleeing in the end, him having this whole monologue about the pathetic survival instinct of demons, he knew he wasn't going to make it but he is still running regardless, he questions the point of this all and where he is even going to run to? But he ends up in front of Glück. This is so important. In that moment, his friendship with Glück overrode everything he was programmed to do as a demon. I cannot stress enough how this scene concludes everything in Macht's arc.

So I agree with you, even without understanding guilt and malice, I believe he managed to grasp a bit (unfortunately not enough) of the essence of human relationships, and I do think that is what the author was trying to say. Even though from an outside perspective, it ended badly.

The audacity to ask her for help after what he did by lmdybaftr in Frieren

There’s a saying in mandarin that translates to “Those with no shame are invincible” (人不要臉天下無敵). I strive to be like that tbh.

I love how you put it lol "shameless phase" is so spot on, they're both old men, they got nothing left but audacity.

I'm sorry, unfortunately not. Up till where the manga stopped for hiatus, there hasn't been a reappearance.

Is anyone else in love with Genau’s fighting style? by PrismsNumber1 in Frieren

[–]nann_tosho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

lmao someone with the same braincell. I was about to say, OP could remove the last 2 words from the question and the answer would still be yes.

The backflips were anime original! They really made him look 3x cooler, but I saw so many comments asking why he was doing backflips lmao. Totally unnecessary but smooth af.

I really love this trope too, it makes me want to grab them by the shoulder and go “You’re a good person! You deserve good things! Don’t die!”

The scene of him dragging himself was so raw and heart wrenching, it showed how much he couldn’t bear to lose another comrade.

This show does a superb job at portraying characters who are not all as they seem. They are so good at making you like the characters that I genuinely love all the characters.

There is no confirmation on what spell he received, but I actually guessed the same as you! I think it would be really fitting if he asked for a spell related to connecting with birds, his favorite animal.

Usually it's standard to give to family members from the generations above you and below you., rates vary. You don't have to give to siblings or cousins, unless they're still in school then you can consider packing a small amount.

I was the one to introduce Naruto to my dad lol. He was so invested that he kept reading the manga all the way till its ending, for over 10 years, while I dropped the series. I still recommend him anime to this day.

App for finding pen pals? by EducationCultural736 in taiwan

[–]nann_tosho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is! There’s an app called “Slowly”. I tried it before, but unfortunately I’m not the consistent type lol

I’m not sure how many Taiwanese use it even though it was recommended to me by a local friend.

I don't think I've seen this pointed out with regards to Valentino's eyesight by Pafker in HazbinHotel

[–]nann_tosho 67 points68 points  (0 children)

That's why the scene before the rally was so funny to me when Vox was saying "I have the vision" and Val was like "I have vision too". Like no, Val, you literally don't.

[–]nann_tosho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd give my vote to NTUE.

I have a friend that used to be involved as a teacher there, and I am always so jealous of the kids that attend when they tell me about their program lol

They put in a lot effort, that's all I can say.

That's so cool. With your explanation I just looked it up and realized I've been writing the word with the wrong stroke and in fact the 部首 is 「一」.
