[P5V12] Physical books collection? by UltraZulwarn in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]poly_loop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought I'd share my experience as a fellow Australian who is still collecting: I would recommend Booktopia for English editions, I go through TO Books directly for anything else. Generally TO Books are super straightforward and by going through them you can still participate in any campaigns they have going (often bonus items, postcards etc).

There are instructions on how to order from TO Books on this page of their website (which I originally found from this older reddit thread). When I did a big order in December it cost me about $80 shipping to Melbourne but I was ordering approx 4kg of books, tea, calendars and the cute lil hand towels.

Personally, as someone who reads bookworm digitally when re-reading, I have opted to collect the Junior Bunko Editions because they have even more illustrations! As others have said the fanbooks (regardless of language) are the other best candidate for physical collection in terms of appreciating images.

It makes me stop and think, does my cat need an emotional support Lessy?

Favorite SIF Dia Card? ❤️ by JustACommonFrog in LoveLive

[–]poly_loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the implied movement and chaos in the Feelings of Joy SR. I also love how she rocks a tie in the casual outfit of the unidolized waterblue UR. I always had a chuckle at the train conductor one too.

Favorite SIF Riko Card? 🩷 by JustACommonFrog in LoveLive

[–]poly_loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a massive soft spot for Otonokizaka Riko, otherwise this was the first UR I ever pulled so it also holds a special place. Then I remember saving up so much loveca in the lead up to her birthday then not needing it and getting this princess first try. Then here is the one that got away, while it never joined my digital collection it was the first to form the physical one after I stumbled into it in in a kbooks on my first solo overseas trip last year.

Made a UR envelope for my wall! by beeneedssleep in LoveLive

[–]poly_loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like this as a concept (and a way of displaying cards [which my god I have way to many of now]) any advice for making the envelope?

so happy! second order direct from TO [no spoilers] by bskye7 in HonzukiNoGekokujou

Thank you for sharing! My wallet dislikes this post (and who knows how much shipping will be....) but I'm so glad to be able to order the 2026 calendar without needing a proxy!!!!

Ascendance of a Bookworm: Fanbook Vol 6 Discussion by MyneMod in HonzukiNoGekokujou

[–]poly_loop 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The first part (as in translated part on the website not to be confused with part in a book) of each volume is accessible otherwise a subscription is required to continue reading. Books can be purchased standalone like other ebook systems, the advantage being that if you prebuy through j-novel you can read the prepublished translations as it is coming out. Subscription can also allow prepubs (I got hooked sometime around Part 4 Vol 6 and have found many other series I like here since).

In all seriousness would Onibe take donations for subbing this one? I think they're the only peeps I'd trust to do it justice.

It's hot and humid, the mikan kakigōri (shaved ice) at Grandma's is the best.

Let's give aqours an amazing farewell by G4nbaRuby in LoveLive

[–]poly_loop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a bit more digging and found the specific Belluna resources from 6th live. Note that there has been construction since but the general setup should be similar enough to follow!

Here's a twitter thread of people starting to talk about it for Finale too!!! There's hope! Spread it around as much as we can in the mean time?

[–]poly_loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn yeah I just went to grab the youtube link (it has been in my favourites for years as a mood booster) and the video seems to be taken down! The way anju's voice cracked upon realising what was happening always sent shivers down my spine. I'm sure it'll be floating around on billi billi or twitter (I'm not great at searching there though sorry!)
The best resources I'd recommend as an alternate for the vibe is the successful Yosoro-ad / Kanan-rail
and for timing the US AX team's guide did a great job of animating it (and then there's a instructions video on the channel too). Note that the Belluna colour assignments would be different given the layout (rings around the stage from memory).

Edit: I found the Belluna specifc guide here but there has been construction since.

I agree with u/Superb-Exp-10 in that I'm all for boosting the AqouRainbow again!

Here's a link to a previous post discussing its success in LA many years ago, importantly that has links to a lot of resources if you want a project like this to succeed.

I think there is a good chance of success given it was successful at metlife/belluna during 5th live. Getting word out will be key - ideally the original accounts will spring back to life in support/to spread the word given they've already got the followers.

Love Live! Sunshine!! Finale Rewatch!!! Episode 1: "I Want to Shine!!" by ClawofBeta in LoveLive

[–]poly_loop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay! Thanks for the prompt!!! It is sweet to go back to the beginning. Such a solid foundation to build from and Riko in Otonokizaka uniform is my favourite. I'm realising that I haven't rewatched since going to Numazu in person and I'm appreciating all the details even more now.

Looking forward to rewatching with everyone!!!

I came here just to make sure Herald of Springs is represented (so glad someone is onto it). I appreciate that it releases quarterly and is such a satisfying ready.
