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.

the problem is that I taught her, through observation, that if you hit the feeder hard enough it lets out kibble. So she's probably trying to hit it to knock out free food...

Zatsu Tabi is just a tourism ad campaign. I was hoping the "journey" would be a bit more philosophical or involve the main character's career as a manga artist, but it's clear that the focus is the locations and getting people to visit and spend money. I guess some people might be interested in that, but meh.

Anonymous 04/08/25 (Tue) 08:22:37 No.141689

It's my opinion that this is going to be a very strong season, at least by my standards. I'm not one of those "anime hasn't been good since 1967" people. I think the seasonal stream run time every week is going to be six hours long.
You can't really judge too much by 1 episode, but I see a lot of potential, and of course some major sequels are around.

Anyway... so far the OP of the season so far (of the 7 or so OPs I've seen) belongs to Chuuzenji-sensei and I think this show is.... GREAT! Mystery stuff, cats, good setting, nice faces, good style, enjoyable visuals and a great main male character. Add in some philosophical stuff and you have a hit. It's not often you get to use male reaction faces.
If you're not going to watch the seasonal stream, go give this a try!

Bad movies becomes good movies when tipsy and that's a wonderful thing you know. When tipsy progresses beyond then the movie loses value. There is a balance that must be struck and it's different for everyone and difficult to maintain. Please enjoy yourselves both with tipsy and when beyond. It is important to enjoy oneself, otherwise what is the point? Escape? It will not work.

I know this is far from an unpopular opinion, but Frank Zappa is the best. He'd compose some of the most sophisticated Western music of the 20th century, and then name it things like "The Grand Wazoo" because he could.

I find it interesting that most of what he did was jazz and rock, because his background is classical, as are his biggest influences. It's one of those things you can really hear as soon as you're told.

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 7:00PM 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

I really think something that probably makes the style of KareKano so good, and more than that older and more standout anime in general. It's the experimentation with different styles without any assurance that it'll work or not. It's not following any layout for how you should animate, and that works towards its benefit because the director, Anno, knows how to be creative in the right way.

Trying to think of the last anime that I found to be pretty nice and experimental a bit in terms of animation. I think maybe Oshi no Ko could count for certain scenes, but in terms of having it be something pertaining to the whole, bocchi is probably more appropriate

Anonymous 04/07/25 (Mon) 03:00:46 No.141673

>>141668
onk uses different styles in the same way that shonen does, for a whole scene or stretch and it does so with a lot of seriousness
bocchi is indeed closer to karekano in that it's a generally shorter and a lot more spread out, there's more instances of it throughout and with greater variation
nigewaka does have a fair bit of variety as well in its alternative styles

Anonymous 04/07/25 (Mon) 03:06:56 No.141674

This is the kind of show I struggle to start watching on my own, but it was pretty good. Lots of funny faces between some genuinely good serious stuff. I can see why someone succeeded in forcing it on [s4s].

I guess it depends on the tree and how well maintained your axe is. Something like pine is easier vs a hardwood tree. There's probably also some technique involved with how you swing, I imagine cutting with a slight angle down to engage with the grains is a lot better at removing material than chopping straight on.

I do some very basic exercises every week like bicep curls, it's just some lazy 'maintenance', and I normally can only do about 10-12 until the muscle exhaustion hits. This time I was able to to 17, and I know it's because I've been doing garden work.
You can't compete with real manual labor and its large range of movement utilizing different muscle fibers when it comes to building strength. Exercises can mimic it, and it's true you can use different positions and poses, but it's still an artificial thing.

Japanese Learning Thoughts Anonymous 02/28/21 (Sun) 18:48:41 No.67883 [Reply][Last50 Posts]

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

Yes, I am sure it is better for studying something in school, especially if it's not interesting and you need to ensure you're paying attention to what you're hearing/reading/thinking. I am not convinced it is better than immersing all day every day for learning languages.
I reached fluency in English by reading all day every day, not with a pen and paper and writing down words I don't even quite grasp yet due to lack of context building in the brain. I don't think I ever really wrote anything on paper.

Your article is barely relevant in this matter. It's comparing disinterested people sitting there forced to do something, not people actively engaging with a language.

I don't want to discuss this further because I don't feel like you're even responding to me, just repeating yourself.

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!

Oh, and did you take the top text in the results scene from the manga? Because I couldn't hear a thing for a bunch of those lines.
