Mr. Suzuki has it right. Fuckin' uncultured poor kid doesn't even know to open his letters with a seasonal reference. Anime deserves better.

My cousin has been dating the same girl since they were both 12 and they're 17 now and they didnt even have a magical tree that forces you to be with someone forever.
As far as you know. Have you asked?

So everyone just casually knows we're poor and doesn't mind saying so, we get blamed for any crime we get close to, and if we're on the street at night the police might shoot us with no questions asked?

If this wasn't a Japanese game I'd think they were trying to say something.
I can't believe Chorps is LPing a review copy of Persona 5.

I'm extremely happy with that Shinkansen gag. 10/10, game of the century.

The Tokaido Shinkansen is the most important long-distance rail line in Japan, and maybe in the world, so in context, I think a Japanese person would at least recognise those stations as its major stops. Even if they didn't know the exact order off the top of their head, they'd at least know what to look up. If you're a foreigner, though? Good luck, fucker.

Basically everybody and everything in this town likes kissing little boys, with so far the exceptions of Anime and the Grim Reaper.
Come to think of it, have we ever seen Anime and the Grim Reaper in the same place at the same time?

I feel we can appreciate the accidental pun and the intended pun. So we've got Mr. Cheap+teapot who sells old junk and Cheapot's Depot, the finest local hotspot for affordable antiques.
Also I just now realized in Japanese it's probably chipot, because there is no ti=tea sound in the J-alphabet (the t section goes ta, chi, tsu, te, to), so English would just respell it and keep the pun.
Him and his shop are both called "Tsuboyasu" in Japanese. "Tsubo" meaning "pot" and "yasu" meaning "cheap", essentially. If it's supposed to be a pun on anything, it's not obvious to me.

The alien is required for the main plot? How are you supposed to figure out you need the cola.

Also most of the alien language was just random Japanese words, it seems like. Wonder if they were in English in the original.
It's exactly the same in Japanese, word for word. The random Japanese words "translate" to other Japanese words.

If you look at the computer the alien made, there's supposed to be a message onscreen but it won't tell you what it is. I'm almost certain this is a translation error, based on the words they give you in the dictionary it should say "Dempou soccer", which would be "Insert canned juice" in the alien language, to tell you to put in a can. Don't know how you'd know it should be Funny Cola that works but would've been better to go on than nothing.
Oh, you're exactly right. It's supposed to say "Soccer dempou. Kurumaisu dempou."

Also, I've been catching up on Cocoa Disaster, and you wankers got me interested in Recreators, which apparently isn't available in Australia and I don't want to pirate it. Definitely unsubscribing and leaving you a 0/5 star review on iTunes.
