I am always grateful for anybody giving me the time of day, though I wish y'alls would've been around for me talking about Kanamemo. But beggars can't be choosers I s'ppose, and folks like to complain. (Myself included)
What I find interesting about the argument "come to Japan if you want Japanese products" is that I am in Japan right now, and I can't even make online purchases just by living here. I have to use a proxy service for Yahoo Auctions because they require a JP phone number.
It's still hard for me to think about what to say on this. Maeda-sensei's struggles in the last decade of feeling like his best work is behind him is one that has greatly resonated with me. Ultimately even after he took a step back, he returned to writing, which is admirable.
One time I told my video editing professor that I was scared of sharing my opinions online because I didn't want people to hate me. He thought I was talking about politics, and when I clarified it was my opinions on cartoons, he laughed at me.
I gotta tell you, I don't know if it's my insecurity showing but I feel like people in Japan are laughing at me behind my back a lot.
Welp I can't even blame him. He's living the dream.
AUTOR DE HAGANAI SE RETIRA
Yomi Hirasaka, creador del éxito Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai, anunció su retiro definitivo. Aclaró que no sufre estrés ni enfermedad; simplemente logró la independencia financiera y decidió jubilarse para disfrutar su fortuna.
A diferencia de la mayoría de creativos japoneses que terminan destruidos por las brutales fechas de entrega o dejan sus obras en pausas indefinidas, Hirasaka cerró su carrera con un récord impecable. Su décimo y último volumen de A Salad Bowl of Eccentrics se publicó en julio, cumpliendo su estricta promesa de terminar todos sus proyectos principales antes de decir adiós.
En una industria famosa por explotar autores hasta el colapso, Hirasaka es un caso rarísimo. Con más de 7 millones de copias vendidas y tres animes estrenados, juntó las regalías suficientes para vivir de sus rentas sin volver a escribir jamás.
Ganó el juego de la industria y se fue a casa con el trofeo.
There is a commercial playing on the subway promoting the final two eps of Bleach that goes over all the arcs and I notice they completely skipped the Fullbring arc for some reason.
I get really annoyed when certain people on here will bull crap about the Japanese language, and say stuff like "you can reach N1 level in a year". I'm sorry to say this, but almost nobody is going to be able to live up to those utterly unrealistic expectations.
I had a dream just now that I went to this restaurant in Japan where you could request anime songs off a jukebox and it would have a visual from the show attached to it. So someone requested a song from Beatmaster Males, this 2003 magical girl kids anime with Doremi looking
how to pronounce the title because it was in katakana as メールズ so I thought they were saying "Mails". The song requested was also this instrumental, and I didn't see the anime visual at first, so a friend I was eating with thought it was Harvest Moon 64 for some reason. When
The Chiikawa movie was a bit sad. I will have to familiarize myself with the show at some point. They gave me a little goodie alongside attending the showing (I got the Seiren), which is rad considering I am kinda late to seeing this.
I have grown to dislike looking at numerical metrics for success because it makes me feel as if that is my cap: like that is the best I can do. I do wonder what exactly my limit is, and if I have already come pretty close to my peak both as a person and as a creator, which
