Oh my goodness I found a shop online that sells their stuff (and other vendors in the Nishiki Market). Now to wait for Japanese business hours to see if they ship international 🤞

Great list! Thanks for putting this together, a lot of titles I've not heard of so you've piqued my interest!

Yeah, seriously.. hence all the loot master parties I see trying to just buy the chest lol. Guess I could also be patient and wait for the next crafted set..

That makes a lot of sense! I'll probably give it a try at some point, I totally forgot about bis though ha, here's hoping I don't need to wait another 7 weeks to get my weapon 😅

Ha is that how it is? I finally cleared M4S this week but not sure I want to hop on the FRU pf or not

Ooh I like a lot of these as well! Lots of throwbacks too, making me want to do some rewatches

Fair point.. I'm stuck between maybe playing something that an anime I like is based off of or playing something I haven't necessarily heard of 🤔

No idea on VN! If you have any recommendations I'm very interested to hear. I haven't played a VN since like 2007 when I played Narcissu haha. Oh and some of When They Cry

I have played through some games with a friend that is also learning, and we do it in chunks every week, which does make it feel less of a slog. Maybe we can tackle a visual novel at some point.

Well first, I wonder if saying お疲れ様 would be applicable here ha. I feel like I've had a lot of similar feeling trying to consume written media in Japanese (usually light novels). It can feel much more tiring and I haven't been able to completely finish one yet, sticking mostly to manga for reading.

Where does it come from? Why does it not go away??

青空へようこそ!

Thank you! Happened to go at a good time of day so the light was just right

I will! It's all stuffed in my suitcase hopefully being loaded into an airplane but I'll unpack at some point lol

Haha! Well I passed a newly opened shop that had merch with anime girl illustrations by different artists for different sightseeing spots in Japan, including the Shimanami Kaido! Since I just did that I had to buy it. Also passed a Yuru Camp pop up shop and collab cafe and had to go 😇
