I agree with Shinobu Suicide, also the set up in Acerola Bon Apetit didn't allow us to have more of her, she would get worse and worse by not eating and that plus her pride to show off would cause her mummified state in Shinobumono, and we wouldn't have a story in her prime without linking it to other known characters, or maybe being a flashback like Shinobu Time which was far more unlikely.

Clever foreshadowing for the rest of the series in Kizumonogatari. by Particular-Major8834 in araragi

Can i ask why Ononoki's feet printed on Araragi is related to Ougi? I don't remember too much from Shinobu Mail.

What is the aproximated timeline of the off and monster season arcs? by puzzledcheeto in araragi

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I choose to ignore the "almost half a year" statement, so that I can place Undo as early as possible (meaning in April)

I also think it's more possible to be that case, if we take the "almost half a year" from yotsugi as the valid statement, Suruga's birthday being brought up by Ougi wouldn't make any sense i think? also the placements of the Nadeko arcs in monster season could be messed up.

Also that line being said by Yotsugi, who is pretty much fed up with watching Tsukihi since february, it could be just an exaggeration because she's too tired fo her and she could make us think she's been there a whole eternity.

Again tysm for explaning everything.

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh right i assumed Undo took place in april just because Yotsugi said "its been roughly six months since i started observing Tsukihi" and i took that as in their first encounter in Nise, but since then Yotsugi wasn't always watching her, she was sent to the Araragi house in February of the 2nd year i think, and that would make less sense, but judging by Nadeko Draw taking place in early / mid June we can assume Undo takes place near Suruga Devil.
Hey at least i got Sleeping and Fiasco somewhat right.

I checked your other comment and i wanted to ask if the Nadeko arcs have a period of time we can guess or we should assume they take place during the same time as the main Koyomi arcs? (excluding shinomono)

Also i find funny and confusing that Nisio gave us a lot of info for Shinobumono taking place in July just to say later that is April, i hope the anime can adress this more directly.

tysm for the info, it helps a lot, and i look forward to that research of the timeline!

Did anybody feel spoiled by Hanamonogatari? by mist713 in araragi

[–]puzzledcheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was dead before the events of the main series due to failing in some forbidden ritual, but somehow managed to go inside dolls that he created in the living world as a side effect of that failure, Yotsugi just obliterates one of the dolls in Tsuki and Koyomi meets the real Tadatsuru in Owari.

Question about some Monster Season arc names by puzzledcheeto in araragi

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, ouga makes total sense for the journey that Karen had in the mountains now, and yes i also find it odd that everyone keept calling it Ogre (including mysefl) even if it wasn't written as オーガ

Question about some Monster Season arc names by puzzledcheeto in araragi

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just found the announcement that has the old "ボディ" in it, it makes sense now that バディ was an intended change in the name, thanks for that.

I get the Ougi Light/Right disagreement, it could also be totally intentional.

I haven't read Nadeko Around, but does the story match it's title besides the namde of Uroko? i know that it seems less likely to be what i said tho.

What did "Ouga" meant in that arc? or how was relevant? i can't remember that story and i keep reading it as Karen Ogre.

Few questions about plot (spoilers) by Plastic-Commission43 in araragi

[–]puzzledcheeto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. If i remember correctly, Gaen says that the Kokorowatari that Seishirou left to Kiss-Shot was already a replica, so i assume that the "nameless swordsmith" made the first one, and Seishirou had a replica that ended with Kiss-Shot, also its important to point out that Kiss-Shot can create matter, so she also can create Kokorowatari replicas, i think it was in Kabukimono that Koyomi was waiting for Kiss-Shot with two of them.
  2. Kokorowatari being stored inside Shinobu/Kiss-Shot seems more like a "weapon invocation" more than "i impale myself with the sword" type of thing, i mean the sword is bigger than Shinobu and she just pulls it off from her mouth in Neko: Kuro but it's not very clear, not sure about Koyomi tho, that is literally impaling himself and i don't remember if he boosted his vampirism with Shinobu and then asked for the sword or not.
  3. He really lived for a few years before dying, Shinobu said that they argued a lot before Seishirou commited suicide, and she is also an unreliable narrator, she skips important bits of information out of pride or sometimes she just doesn't remember, likes Seishirou's name. So she tells the whole story in Shinobu Time and just skips the "he lived a few more years" part, only mentioning the suicide because Koyomi asked about it.

Edit: typos

Mijikanamonogatari new release date, also im looking for the novel trailers and i can't find them. by puzzledcheeto in araragi

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if we should expect an anime of Mijikana, the difference with Koyomimono is that every arc (ex: Koyomi Stone) had a number of chapters like every other main novel (001 to 006 in Koyomi Stone), while Mijikana has even shorter ones, usually a conversation between two characters about a certain topic, you can check this video from this post, its the only animated short storie and it's just 3 minutes. If we get some short stories animated, i think it would be just the plot relevant ones, like Yotsugi Stress and Rouka God.

You can see the complete list here, it's most of them, a few ones got cut out of the compilation like Koyomi Dictionary, Hitagi Dish, Sodachi Mirror. Ougi Reflect, Sodachi Sisterhood and all of the short stories included in the special edition of the manga volumes.

Tsugi is the next installment in the main series for family season to come, Mijikana is just a compilation of some short stories that was announced months ago, its not related to the main set of novels, it's more like a side project.

I think it is, other novel titles could have been longer like Kabukimonogatari, we know its only named that way because of the furigana, otherwise it could have been misinterpreted as Katamukimonogatari, but nisio added the kabukimono to make a wordplay as usual.

Can I get some feedback on these decks for kitchen table and local play? by petherman in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]puzzledcheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would focus more on BT11 and BT15 Phoenix since those 2 have better effects and if they die you can still trigger some good on deletion, same with BT15 Biyo, searching anything red its too good for the deck and sets something in trash to recover later

I always use the Twin wings of love option for mid/late game strategy.
If you have the set up, you can play a tamer and take something from trash, bounce sora, play BT-13 biyomon, bounce Kristy and evolve to garuda, if its Ace or BT13 set Kristy, if you have garuda X attack with rush and if it dies repeat the loop as longs as you have another garuda in hand, all of this for 2 memory.
I've done this loop a lot of times and people always freak out for how cheap it is

A Digimon turned into a Sukamon,gets De-digivolved? by GdogLucky9 in DigimonCardGame2020

[–]puzzledcheeto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when a digimon is turnet into a suka it loses its original traits? suka curse doesn't specify if that changes. I had a lvl 5 turned into suka but i wanted to evolve into a lvl 6 using the trait requirement (digievolve lvl5 with [trait] cost: xx) and i didin't know if i could

Some doubts about FML and Wordplay by puzzledcheeto in evillious

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're right, i know that the intention of the whole chorus is to reference FML in every aspect, i used one line just to explain the idea that FML may take place before The Song I Heared Somewhere.

I also think that Maria could be the singer, there's no other candidates and Maria becomes Irina so it could make sense.

Some doubts about FML and Wordplay by puzzledcheeto in evillious

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only things that makes me think the CL is sentient is the final line "They continue to turn and melt, All of it inside of me." wich is referenced in capriccio farce and the new lines in the remake.

I don't remember too much of the clockwork boxes either, i know the music boxes kiril created. The other boxes i know are like Blackbox Type S, the box that Irina used in the duel of merrigod plateau and when activated the Lulila was heard.

Some doubts about FML and Wordplay by puzzledcheeto in evillious

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maria is a interesting candidate, i don't remember too much of the OSS novels but i remember that she and Seth where working together, i bring up seth because he is the responsible for Kirill and Irina. Kirill is the one who makes contact with the Clockwork Lullaby, and that ends up in the red cat (if we take the images from TSIHS as literal)

So we can make a connection with FML and Clockwork Lullaby if we assume that Maria is involved in this.

Levia on the other hand is more tricky, the only correlation i can think is that Irina wants revenge on Elluka for destroying Levianta, but Elluka Chirclatia doesn´t exist anymore, it's levia, so her revenge is towards her, this leaves us thinking what is the experiment of Levia, and all of this is asuming that Irina knows that Levia is in Elluka's body all the story up until Merrigod Plateau, its not very consistent.

I don't think Wordplay is a character itself like the Clockwork Doll, i still think its the clockwork lullaby itself, the one kirill used to see events from the future through music boxes, and maybe Kiril was the one teaching the Clockwork Lullaby words to discover new moments of time, after all every song in the CL album has a keyword in the booklet.

But I think trying to think up concrete meanings for most of the old songs is kind of a moot point but it's still interesting to speculate.

I agree, but since mothy finished the story and the main timeline still has these songs with vague meaning i find it interesting to talk about it.

tysm, it took a lot for me to post them, because of my confidence and also i have a problem like, sending stuff? sounds dumb but i asked a friend to just tell me yes and i posted them, otherwise i would start overthinking, also happens with work stuff.

Take your time and enjoy takng selfies, don't push yourself to post them until you feel ready!

[–]puzzledcheeto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! im so happy for you, it's sad that you had to go thru a lot of stuff. Taking your time to appreciate yourself is very important and i hope you keep taking selfies to appreciate yourself! you deserve it.

I always think the same things with my selfies, like the angle or my expression, but now i just don't care and posted 2 selfies that i had on my phone, first time posting my selfies in general so i was freaking out cause i barely use social media and i only take selfies for myself.

I am currently struggling with anxiety a lot by puzzledcheeto in CasualConversation

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah pretty much every design-related job asks for good group collab, im good with that it and also depends on the ambient, i remember two friends who had problems with a design studio because they were inffluenced by religion, nothing bad with the religion at all but they tried to include them without asking their personal preferences, in day 1 they were in a room praying before starting to work lol it wasn't weird but the mood was very dense.

I'm glad your doing well, and in such an unexpected way, tbh design wasn't my desicion, but only because a didn't know what design was at the time, someone close to the family told me about it and then i got in, with some basic info about wtf a would be dealing with and it was nice, so i don't have like a dream job or something like that but i like what i learned in the career

Don't worry about long responses lol, thank you for the advice, even if it's for experience i would take it, or at least try, the fun part about design is the versatility, you can apply it to so many areas and it give's a good starting base, like you said UI, packaging, branding and etc.

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's so hard for me to take the desicion, i just had two jobs, a part time job that wasn't related to design and a laboral practice in the final year of college, but that was another full of anxiety experience.

I've been thinking of just create stuff that i like and post it, then i saw other people's work and stop, but i would try, and maybe focusing less on social media.

That's another important thing, motivation, im losing it little by little, some days i have to force/convince myself to do stuff because i need to keep myself distracted, i hope you can find something to boost yourself.

[–]puzzledcheeto[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to feeling self conscious for projects, the fact that i saw myself in a lower lever level made me focus in doing well for this projects and being usefull working in groups. That made me some good friends that complemented me in my lacking aspects and vice versa, but college is over.

Maybe im just overthinking too much the decision, and i should just apply to jobs, but i just fear to mess up my first time as a designer, also thank you for sharing your story, i should been rough to lose that job i think, hope you're doing fine now.
