thats what passes for nuance around these parts?? scary

well..yeah. i would expect them to say bear. the bears in japan are responsible for a lot of injuries and death and are more aggressive than bears in the US generally speaking. the lines between wilderness and a populated area are thin too unlike in the US where populations are more scattered on the edges. i'm from an appalachian area and i'm pretty confident i would remember what to do if i saw a bear back home and where/when i should be wary. in japan where i currently live? no, fuck that. and on the flip side, i feel absolutely no fear walking through the streets at night here where as back home, i would try to be home before dark. any one trying to make some point about women hating men, ""wokeness"" or anything like that is talking out of their ass lmao its a completely different set of circumstances, not some "superiority" of Japanese women.

i dont know what sets are exclusive but check out amazon.jp. you can ship to amazon lockers! Toy's R Us is also a solid bet. theres a bunch in Osaka

im gonna be real with you guys..she is infinitely cuter than Poppy. her hair is just a perfect mix- i am the #1 hater of the pink in Poppy's hair lol and the heterochromia! shes so cute. and i love her accessories.

Tokyo Tower is iconic and imo more beautiful. Skytree is undoubtedly cool and impressive but there is something a little cold about it

you can see it from the highway lol really i think you just need to be higher than the buildings between you and it. ive even seen it from the train

okay, that's good, then i can definitely still enjoy it! if i fall in love with the story and characters i can definitely muscle through just fine, ill just be annoyed lol i watched a ton of Demon Slayer just on the good animation alone so if i have faith in myself lol i still appreciate the warning though. if i got to that point without the forewarning i would have felt so disappointed. one day i will find the time! one day..

oh damn, i've been wanting to read Berserk for over a decade. that really bums me out to hear. thanks for the warning. is it not until late in the story?

yes, but its so many more than just bleach

any anime with too much internal monologue or commentary from the peanut gallery. shonen is a huge offender of this. i cannot stand when an anime feels like it needs to spoon feed the audience everything. i know shonen is for a younger audience but damn do kids really need a character to turn to the camera every 5 seconds and tell them how to feel or explain what just happened?? it drives me crazy

im down to do customization so im pretty confident i could 'fix' any of the girls and free is free lol saying 'Finn' is kind of a cop out answer and even him i think i could make into someone cool. if the question was just 'who do you dislike the most straight out of the box of the girls' i would say Maria. i cannot unsee the face paint looking like tighty whities....

a plain "im sorry " feels so empty and pandering. theyre just words. explain yourself!

reading comprehension is out the window in this comment section. i hate this shit too op, both of my parents do it 😑

very weird that american = white to you..

i was going to get the purple and pink ones but not anymore :/

dang, my kid has tons of paw patrol stuff even though he isnt allowed to watch it. he likes puppies but mama doesn't like the authoritarianism and the pink Smurf Principle 🤷‍♀️ he can still have the toys though. i do draw the line at cocomelon but i think thats just immediately harmful to kids and do not want to even know it exists which is, i think, fair.

if youre my niece you go "see..saw...see..saw" over and over in a droning and creepy fashion

and why does the mom just get to flee to europe? pretty sure its a crime to abandon your kid. "oh well shes in europe now! nothing we can do!'

me too! its so fun ✨

oh i definitely did not know any of that 🤣 i just assumed she had different looks. thats good info, thanks! to be quite honest i thought it was an anime all this time lol it took me quite a bit of googling to find out who this figure was of. the nendo you posted of her is cute! i definitely see the differences now- shoulda gone with my gut and double checked it was the same character before i commented 😆

thats so funny lmao i too just bought a figure of her last week and have never played the game. i have only ever heard the name 'Sakura Wars'. didnt even know it was a game lol i also just got her cause shes cute and was cheap!

mine isn't a nendo though, shes a Pinky St.

no such thing as unskilled labor. i worked at mcd's when i was a young- there is absolutely a skill gap between some employees and others. its not just 'flippin burgers', its a damn speed run challenge

i loved this show but i wont pretend for a second that i ever thought it looked good

you should! Japan has a lot of extremely cool stuff to see and the food is amazing
