Has anyone else been watching "Atasha Kawashiri Kodama da yo: Dangerous Lifehacker no Tadareta Seikatsu?" (Guess "Dangerous Lifehacker" will do for a shorter name.) It's very short and very silly and makes me a teeny bit depressed between snickers since it's way to close to my own existence.

Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.

You know what we REALLY need? A new adaptation of Bobobo-bobo-bobo that covers the entire manga, uncensored with all the blood and with all the references that were cut out of the anime like Yugi popping out of Bobobo's afro

Since it's considered a culturally significant traditional craft I think you can qualify for some degree of government support, but I have no idea what form it regularly takes other than it being some of the fields eligible for the title of Living National Treasure (government recognition as a master practitioner of some of Japan's cultural heritage disciplines, either as an artisan or entertainer), which comes with a hefty yearly grant and some additional perks.
When I first got into the show I actually assumed Gojo's grandpa was a LNT since he's a master craftsman, but reading up on it a bit more it's actually insanely hard to get that title since there's a limit of like 100 nationwide title-holders at any given time due to budget constraints, so you basically have to wait for one of the current holders to die off to even be considered, at which point you'll be duking it out with every other master artisan in the country.
lmao, just found out that a shrine in the town i used to live in has an anual ceremony/public service where they collect these beautifully crafted hina ningyo and childrens' day dolls from families who no longer need them after the ceremonies and then light them all on fire



sorry, gojo's grandpa :(

I mean I guess doing that keeps more families buying the doll sets every year??? I don't really live in a country that has any tradition to compare it with, but the closest I can think of are nativity scenes, which are often made traditionally, used once a year and every family has one, but you can just keep using the same ugly baby jesus forever.

e: vvv nevermind then 😔

families dont buy new dolls every year. the dolls can run you thousands of dollars, so you reuse the same set of dolls every hinamatsuri until your kids are older. likewise sometimes kids get singular dolls meant to represent 'them' that are kept in a display case somewhere yearround until, again, the kid is an adult.

the burning isnt a marketing scheme or wasteful, its part of the symbolic gesture of the toys, 'you're no longer a kid, you cant go back to being a kid, the toy is gone.' ofc there's also shintoist routes with regards to beloved family objects cursing you if you just throw them away or stick them in an attic forever instead of giving them a proper sendoff.

and obviously in the modern day some people do just stick them in an attic forever, or pass them onto their own kids, or w/e.

Marin definitely talks in a "gyaru" way, so those translations fit.

The official manga has plenty of "adorbs", "gorg", and "totes"(especially once Marin gets excited) so "my dude" seems pretty fitting.

Anyway, it was a good episode. Even though I've read these chapters several times it's still so satisfying seeing it animated.

First episode of the Shenmue anime is surprisingly promising! I think divorcing the story from the awkward gameplay and glacial pacing of the actual games is only going to do it a favor.

It's what I said the moment it was released. The best chance Shenmue has to conclude is probably through another media.

Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest is crap. But the later episode proved us that adding a dragon loli in your show will make it more entertaining even if it's crap.

Also, demon DIO as the cliffhanger of latest episode.

It's not technically an isekai but it works exactly the same way (he reincarnated thousands of years into the future with his full memories, has god-tier powers compared to anyone in this age, hides his true identity) so you gotta lower your standards. :v:

Wise Man's Apprentice and Leadale are both "sucked into the game" isekais but they also did a similar "skipped ahead hundreds of years, hides the fact that they used to be a legendary hero" thing, I guess fantasy timeskips are just in fashion this season

I think it's because it's all done so well. Both characters are interesting, easy to identify with, and believable. Gojo is shy and only average, teen-level horny but not ANIME HORNY so it's just funny in its awkwardness. Marin is fun and casual. It's a winning combination.

I mean, I’d call it wholesome because it consistently promotes the message that people should be able to enjoy what they like and be who they want to be regardless of gender stereotypes.
