What if instead of Cardcaptor Sakura it was Cardcaptor Sarkua and she became the dame of the last feudal society in Europe

Squiddy cool, right?

Squid Girl, my liege, I have never in my life desired to possess a certificate of authenticity for a blu-ray release of an anime. In fact, I torrented your show onto a portable hard drive to satisfy my insatiable desire to get shit for free and have it stored offline for perpetuity.

I am yet to find anywhere I can download the btw version of Arch, I can only ever seem to find the normal version. Am I doing something wrong?

14 minut do starta! (art by Dimfann)

Just under one hour to Ponies!

8 hours until we kick off the last season of Ponies!

@Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net You might get a kick out of this

You’re not the only one to misread fanime as famine constantly

Huh? What’s that supposed to mean? I’m just talking about some of my favorite movies and shows from my childhood.

COVID-19? Positive

Legs? Asleep

Pants? Pissed

Yup, it’s cinema time

Oh, I remember that original movie by M Night Shyamalan about the boy with the blue arrow on his forehead that could move air with his mind or whatever — cool movie! It’s the highest grossing movie of all time for a reason, certainly, and just as certainly the highlight of Shyamalan’s career, but I somehow never heard there was a sequel… Of course, as you say, M Night Shyamalan’s Avatar is not to be confused with the Nickelodeon children’s animated series Avatar: The Battle for Pandora created by James Cameron, his only ever foray into children’s TV cartoons, and a damn successful one at that.

You put too much faith in me, but looking up “metal gear node nerd” brought me to a Reddit comment quoting from an interview with the translator.

Finally having an inside source on the matter, I ask about the Nerd/Node piece of dialogue in the game. Looking over the original Japanese file shows that ‘nerd’ was written in Romaji (English letters), while above it, in smaller Katakana-based Furigana (which is usually written in Hiragana and placed above difficult to pronounce Kanji), was the phonetic Japanese word for nerd, and then besides this in brackets were the Japanese equivalents, including the word ‘otaku’. Even as a non-native Japanese speaker, the original set-up for this one line seemed awkward. Agness explained, “Regarding node vs. nerd, I do not remember that particularly. However, I do remember a general pattern of attempts to kick it American-style in the original. I felt it was essentially juvenile name-dropping, whether it was ‘hey, I speak English, look!’ puns like this one, or knowing references to mushers and the NSA. The saddest joke is that Japanese nationals who actually know about this stuff - SDF officers, war journalists, sketchy wanderers - would have been amazing sources for an actual writer.”

So it looks like @KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net was right, @doublepepperoni@hexbear.net.

The Japanese Wikipedia article for ナード does not indicate that it is a common word in Japanese contexts, either, basically explaining that nerd is “equivalent to otaku”. So it really does seem like this joke was just an attempt by the game’s writer to flex English skills / Yankee cultural knowledge.

14 minutes to fanime! Be there or be square!

Just under one hour to fanime!

8½ hours to a marathon of eight different short fanime from the late 2000s.

I’m gonna say it. Zoomers are fascist because they yearn for the mythical millennial or genXer youth they never got to experience

:nyoron:

POG, or Passion Orange Guava, is a tropical juice drink created in 1971 by a food product consultant named Mary Soon, who worked for Haleakala Dairy on Maui, Hawaii. The name POG is an acronym for three fruits from which it is made: passionfruit, orange, and guava. POG is produced by Meadow Gold Dairy, a subsidiary of Dean Foods. Similar blends of passionfruit, orange and guava juices are also produced by other companies.

Cute (and surprisingly spicy!) shōjo romance with a furry love interest.

Please let this be the beginning of a new age of yuri anime…

With the Frizz? Yes way!

The only negative thing I can really say about it is that, due to the cooking sequences, it’s basically Carnism the Animation, but I personally don’t find it that off-putting.

So many cute outfits and relationship dynamics!

It’s fun to see people discuss and rank the outfits. Looking forward to like episode 57 when there’s the “Ki ni Naru Aitsu” insert song.

Take note, EgaTae—this is how you do a CGDCT workplace comedy!

(TL note: EgaTae refers to A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace)

Very slapstick, but a cute little yuri show

[interest awoken]

My only complaint is that Maud should be in more episodes. Give Maud her own show!!

Startrix too btw
