I tend to nag people to post their cat pictures here so it's only fair that I post some of my own. Here is the (late) kitty I had when I lived with my parents. I had her since I was eight years old and she lived to around 15 years.

Going to Japan this summer, and I really want to avoid sticking out as some obnoxious foreigner. I was wondering if there's any helpful tips for how to conduct oneself or what'd really stick out to wear around so I can avoid packing it. It seems like a country that's pretty tolerant so it's not like I'll get beat up for just being a normal tourist, but I also don't want to come off as some unkempt freak who gets judged everywhere I go. To maximize my enjoyment of the trip I've been looking to find out what is and isn't acceptable and what's social faux pas or things to avoid.

For example, I was reading up on Japanese law recently and learned that under Act No. 52 of 1999 it's actually illegal to buy JCs off the streets. Which is just an important reminder to /qajp/ that you should always check the laws of where you're going to!

I guess. There might be a more local alternative to an RFID transportation card like we do in Montreal and probably the other high tax states. But it looks like you have to go through the ticket machines and hope they have good translations

Sounds like some sort of super ticket thing?
Convenience and peace of mind. If there's one super ticket you can buy to ensure a safe, uneventful trip then I can see people jumping on it instead of dealing with a dozen different tickets with a dozen different points of failure in a country of strangers where there is very likely a language barrier. Vacations are luxuries after all, so removing a point of potentially mind-breaking stress is something I would personally buy if I ever found myself in such a position. Although I don't think people with that level of anxiety would travel, so who knows. Just convenience for retirees and stuff then?

we're talking like 25k¥ vs 50k¥ though. The values I posted of 585$ were if I also included occasional VIP travel. I guess it's good to not have to use the machines though or figure that stuff out. I guess it's a cheaper alternative to having to work the ticket machines and hope they have an english language button(seems like most do)

I've gotten into collecting encyclopedias and reference sets. With how suggestible LLMs are, I'm wary of the truth of things becoming increasingly murky and want to have something I can rely on as being authoritative and truthful. I've gotten quite a few so far. The plan is to digitize all of them into searchable PDFs so that I can essentially have one big reference set, encompassing multiple viewpoints. Having one of those RAG LLMs that can only pull info from files might also be neat.

My collection currently consists of:
- Encyclopedia Britannica (1989)
- Collier's Encyclopedia (1965)
- Funk & Wagnall's Encyclopedia (1989)
- The Volume Library (1911)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1963)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1976)

I'd like to be able to get a few more. The one's I'm looking at adding to the collection are:
- The Volume Library (~1960 - 2010)
- The Young Students Encyclopedia (1985)
- World Book Encyclopedia (1940)
- World Book Encyclopedia (2017)

hmmm well one problem with this is that you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
in particular one topic i'm investigating was famously covered quite badly by encyclopedias in the past, and tons of books and papers from the last thirty years have had to argue against the popular conception that's come down from 18th-19th century myths which are still treated as fact outside of specialized literature
i think it's a solid idea but you should definitely watch out, especially with those that are more than 4-5 decades old

>you'll have a lot of decades-old outdated information
That's certainly true, but it's also desirable in some circumstances. For example, an encyclopedia from 1989 is in theory going to have more information on the Soviet Union than an encyclopedia from the last 20 years simply by virtue of the Soviet Union being extant at the time of writing. I also think it's desirable to have viewpoints across time as a reference for how understandings may have changed.

This is a thread for sharing general news about anime or video games or other entertainment that you don't feel like making a thread for.

I find myself not wanting to make a new thread for stuff and then I either forget about it or I put it in the blog thread as a last resort, which is quite awkward. Maybe other people feel that way, too. Well, here's an attempt to fix that.
This is not a containment area for such news, rather it's just a more centralized thread to put it when you don't want to create a new thread to share some info before moving on to something else.

If Medalist were real, it would be shocking for Inori to become that good in a year.
Somehow they make it seem believable because of the good writting and direction, so it comes off as scary how good she is.

My rankings for the season from what I watched, excluding Precure because it's year-long.

1. Tasokare Hotel - We've said elsewhere why it's good
2. Medalist - Likewise.
3. Fugukan - It's a good escapism show with cute and sexy girls. Nice crazy faces but unfortunately I don't really have the opportunity to attach them to posts. Very much a "to be continued" end with no S2 announced. Juggles endearing SoL with a violent main plot. You know, people having their eyes sliced apart in addition to the usual decapitations.
4. Okinawa Girls - Cute and relaxing ad campaign for Okinawa.
5. Hanako-kun. Great show with a fantastic style, but I lose interest when something switches from its premise of weekly novel stories into an overarching plot.

I was not expecting this from Tasokare Hotel at all. Thought it was going to be a fun mystery show, all the guests solve their mysteries and go back to their respective worlds; but the latest episode turned pretty dark...
A serial killer manipulating one JK to kill her BFF by telling her her death wasn't an accident but her BFF's ploy to kill her. Only for the BFF to commit seppuku from the guilt of having accidentally killed the JK. Which then leads the JK to go to HELL for killing someone in the hotel... very much unexpected turn of events.
Might be the best anime this season.

The ending was nice. A stack of conveniences, but nice.
The work at Tasokare Hotel buys you time to revert back IRL?
They conveniently had just enough time to go back to save Atri?
"Oh you don't have your memory of the Tasokare Hotel if you go out the door, but if you use this elevator you can keep your memory intact!"
Monkey demon had a box that opens the gates to hell, which he didn't use to take a glimpse at it for some reason, and opted to having someone get killed for the gates of hell to open

But, in the end, Neko even gets to go on a date with Ruri IRL!

Finished it. Yep, it's the show of the season. Medalist is cute, but a show with a great story and characters really puts Tasokare at the top.
The end was a bit too convenient to see time travel pop up, but I guess it was mentioned early on. It was just my assumption that the "time" mentioned was something added to their lifespan. But, it was still a very satisfying ending. Episode titles really should be less direct. Episode 11 named something like "Pistol and Hell" and 12 was "Revenge". That's not something people should see in the opening of the episode.
It really makes me wonder what the phone game was like, but it's not translated, so meh. It's not going to be as good if you already know how everything ends.
I hope we see more from Neko's VA as her anime career is fairly old but bare.

Now that the honeymoon phase is over I think its safe to say wilds sucks ass. The biggest problem for me is the monsters health pool, most hunts won't even last five minutes so what's the point of even playing with other people if you join and the monster goes down a minute after. Its also way too easy and the monsters are so slow its impossible not to react to their attacks.

The worse part is the upcoming updates likely won't fix this. Mizu is a complete pushover and tempered monsters in wilds are a joke so far. I'm still hoping that they introduce some challenge via event quests but I'm not holding my breath.

Not quite how to feel about it. The 3D visuals will lack the charm of the original, but I'm not sure how much work it would be to get the original working since it was released back in the 90s.

current copyright law is why we have the disney live action remakes
if that’s not as good a reason as any to kill it I don’t know what is

Make it so you can't stop anyone from copying, only demand fair compensation for it.

Really, if someone isn't making money off of it, then there should be no issue.

This is my ideal compromise, although I would rather it be 5 years. Things like sequels tend to take quite a bit longer than 2 years.

I think "in use" could encompass more than just "releasing a sequel". Projects in active development could easily be counted and I think just producing copies of the work for distribution would count as "using" it. I wouldn't want to incentivize shitting out a sequel every couple years just to keep the rights (like with Sony and Spiderman), but I also don't want Disney locking something away in the vault for five years to build artificial scarcity for a rerelease. That's a really low bar now that digital distribution is the norm, but there are still plenty of cases where games go offline and I shouldn't have to wait decades to release my own version of Concord.

However, most do nothing isekai at least give us boobies because they know there's nothing else to them. It doesn't save or redeem them from being boring cookie cutter trite, but better than just being boring.

Do you really think boobies are the only fanservice real men can enjoy?

Butts are good too.

No. In the context of the aforementioned, boobies are about the only thing stories of that caliber can conjure up.
As to what you suggest, naturally, anything putting the peak human form on full display is automatically a cut above and is very likely to have something interesting going on in the plot. That is, as long as it is not a one off gag.

While nice, I believe oppai hold a higher position on the totem pole. It goes without saying that a christmas cake with a nice bust has a great ass, but a butt alone a woman does not make. Exceptions of course are granted to DFC, as for every yin there is a yang.

streaming karekano april 6th Anonymous 03/25/25 (Tue) 19:23:34 No.141163 [Reply]

A clip got recommended to me on youtube and reminded me that I absolutely love this anime. In terms of the typical shoujo today despite its influence I'd say it still stands out, and Anno's influence on the presentation through his direction (before the budget kinda goes kaput like EVA near the end) is strikingly impactful in conveying the mood of each scene and allowing the highs to reach further than manga ever could. Miyazawa's probably still my favorite Shoujo protagonist of any romance series, her smarts and unbreakable character make her extremely endearing to watch as situations arise throughout her and Arima's school life as a result of their relationship. It's a great exploration of two quite different characters who take interest with and build each other up as they go about life and maturing.

So with that in mind I'm going to be streaming the first 10 episodes of KareKano April 6th, or next Sunday, at 6:00PM EST. Only the first 10 because I feel like that's the most crucial portion of the story that sets into motion everything else. The setup, main cast, and character relations for the most part are established after that and it's more digging deeper into them that we can stream maybe some other time if people want me to. Be sure you're there for it!

Oh, and on https://theatre.kissu.moe/kiss/yukkuri of course

>(before the budget kinda goes kaput like EVA near the end)
From what I could gather, it seems both were actually caused by production issues independently of budget, through last minute re-dos, changes in direction, and the like. This was 1998 post-EoE Gainax, and as far as I know at this point merchandise sales are giving them buttloads of monaaay, a very different situation from 1995.
And yes, I agree that it's an incredible show.

Oh huh, I always thought it was a budget thing, but yeah makes sense that after EVA that wouldn't really be possible. Wonder why they didn't just delay it like anime now do.
