@themisterwhyte @Hanri_TO @AnimexTwts Yeah cause 4 hours a day for 3 months out of the year is inconceivable and means you can’t have a social life 🙄 I take you never watched any TV or movies, or played any games, or had any hobbies that you did after you ate dinner? Did you go to bed at 8 pm or something?

@Graestra @Hanri_TO @AnimexTwts Thanks for letting us know you had no social life during your school years.

DID HE SAY 500?? 😭😭

@CatCaptain9000 @FemoidFairy It can be, probably less common than with girls though

@FemoidFairy Cutting isn't really a boy thing.

“My stupid kid won’t say she is trans what the actual f!!!!”

@CynicalPublius I tried watching this many years ago cause I generally love anime like this, but the plot and the drama really annoyed me so I dropped it.

OK, since it appears that today is the day to discuss weird cultural differences between Japan and the USA, may I strongly recommend to all of my military history nerd followers that you watch “Girls und Panzer”? It’s anime from Japan. You can find it on Amazon Prime. Bear with me while I explain the insane premise. It’s about Japanese all-girls schools that engage in the sport of “tankery.” These schoolgirls ride around in historically accurate, WWII-era armored fighting vehicles and engage in active combat that appears to include actual HEAT and sabot rounds, except when there is a hit nobody gets hurt and a little white flag pops out of the dead tank. So there is this big tankery tournament. But here’s where it gets even weirder: each school has the vehicles, resources, tactics and uniforms of a WWII combatant. So the US-style school has wayyyyy more logistics than anybody else, the Soviet school goes roaring across the steppes (see the video one comment post below) and the German school has the best tanks that break down a lot. Also the British school takes war breaks to drink tea. Why would I recommend such a silly concept? Because whoever did it went to a fanatical level of detail on the vehicles themselves and the associated tactics and employment, as well as very accurate propaganda themes from the era. It’s so incongruous—highly accurate military history and Japanese schoolgirl anime. And I love incongruity in entertainment. It’s so silly, but in a weirdly addictive way. And I don't even watch anime.

@Not_The_Realist @Euspoilera @PeasantBiomass @woke8yearold You can find cheap hotels that are like $35-60 bucks a night for two right now. If you get lucky with flight costs, you can totally do ~$1150 for a week

@Euspoilera @PeasantBiomass @woke8yearold youre trolling if you think flying from the us and staying a week in ueno costs 1150

Just made a girl super mad by doing some math and showing her it would be cheaper to travel to Japan and go all out at Tokyo Disney (along with time for other stuff in Japan) than to do a big trip to Disney World

@pokemon_daily Hgss were fine, but they lost a lot of the charm and atmosphere of the original gen 2 games. The color palette was different and the music was too remixed. The Ho-oh scene was good though.

gold or heartgold?

@V_Faction These two have negative synchronization

Man, this new FUWAMOCO Patch Update is very different

@themisterwhyte @Hanri_TO @AnimexTwts I suppose if you only started watching anime as an adult and you’re like 56 that makes sense. You can watch over 90 12 episode anime just watching ~4 hours a day during summer break. That’s 720 anime over 8 years of middle and high school, and that’s ignoring the rest of the year

@Graestra @Hanri_TO @AnimexTwts Some of us have jobs and responsibilities. But good on you I guess.

@nocontextmemes America if hooters was a nationwide chain of maid cafes instead

@lex139173 @Wahoo6692 @AnimexTwts Not them, but I recommend Cross Game

@Wahoo6692 @AnimexTwts any recomendations

@themisterwhyte @Hanri_TO @AnimexTwts Brother how? I’ve probably seen over 1000 and I haven’t even been watching that much anime since covid

@Hanri_TO @AnimexTwts There's some validity to his claim but 500 is ridiculous. I've been watching anime since the 90s and I'm nowhere near that number. Make it 20 or 30 and I might agree.

@Katakun68509106 @JankenPomme Japanese people really really love limited edition stuff. As the other reply said they are made limited from the start rather than just discontinued. This is to drive fomo and get people to buy more than they notmally would, then they move onto the next limited product

@JankenPomme Why is a popular product discontinued? I get that it might be just popular to you and nobody else, but that would mean discontinuation in any country. Why is it different in Japan?

My number 1 living in Japan tip: If you buy and like a new product, go back and buy them ALL!! Don't worry if you look insane, the product will never be back and everyone understand!

@Dziku_uoh What manga?

Need

@b1uemarinee @CRTpixels Yeah I wish I had kept mine

@CRTpixels finding a good condition CRT is more expensive than that these days though

damn, that’s crazy anyway

@iridescenttorch @LiberosisArt @animecorner_ac That’s the best part though. If I wanted boring, vanilla, and un”problematic” romance I’d watch Hallmark movies

@Graestra @LiberosisArt @animecorner_ac I am gonna assume that they refer to the big age gaps for some of the couples

『OFFICIAL TRAILER』 "Magic Knight Rayearth" (2026) The anime will premiere in October 2026.

@TheIshikawaRin I just wish they would make it more faithful to the novels. Tanya’s essentially a different character in the anime

I still have no idea why Season 2 of Youjo Senki took over 9 years.

@LiberosisArt @animecorner_ac What do you mean?

@animecorner_ac Hopefully they cut out any of CLAMP’s usually nonsense for the anime. This is the one time you won’t be shunned if it’s not 1000% faithful

@fuwamoco_en A Nanoha watch along would be so peak. It’s one of my all time favorite series

The time to do a watchalong together has finally come perhaps… 👀✨

@KirscheVerstahl It’s funny you say that

idk what switch someone at X accidentally hit but my timeline is full of Japanese people talking about American BBQ, cars, and hating communists Japan is, and always will be, our greatest ally

@AlfredTheMid @wonderparlour Yeah I’d second that. I’d love to see a video on this place by @AbroadInJapan

@wonderparlour No one in the west uses travel agencies, they are completely irrelevant. You would be better getting the likes of Chris Broad to do a video visiting your cafe or sell packages on Airbnb experiences. I hope you succeed, I will try and visit you when I'm in Japan

I reached out to many overseas travel agencies that cater to visitors to Japan, asking whether they would consider including our café as part of their Japan sightseeing itineraries. Unfortunately, every single agency gave essentially the same response: “Why would anyone come all the way to Japan just to visit a British-style maid café? At the very least, you should be serving Japanese tea. Hahaha…” So please, especially if you’re from the UK or another country abroad, come visit our café.

@Nightlingbolt @pikatl Why?

@pikatl Only issue with giving Parasect an evolution is that they’d have to give all the mushroom Pokemon another stage. Breloom, Amoonguss, Shiinotic… maybe not Toedscruel, since that would mandate a Tentacruel evolution… that’s five new Pokemon that need to be made just to buff one.

giving paras the evolution he deserves
