Yep, and that absolutely works. I’ve been to the Ghibli Museum 3 times now (have timed it to see 3 different shorts). There’s still more I haven’t seen so I want to go again.

The thing I thought was funny about this Splatoon 2 thing:

This is essentially the same as the main game they did in Virtue’s Last Reward.

Because Nintendo, I am guessing no but... Is there a way you can copy save files and backup save files? Because then you can always have a fresh “powerful and cool” save set up for your son to play without him wrecking anything for when you’re ready to play.

This has been a problem for AX for years.

Shouldn’t be surprised about the LACC not having metal detectors or bag checks. They don’t for Anime Expo either, and AX is much bigger than E3 (over 100k people).

Yep, just what I predicted. It sounds just like TGS - massive crowds, hours long lines, etc - except only E3 has the astronomical, almost at professional conference level-pricing to get in.

If you can read Japanese, it’s pretty obvious it’s fake too. What it says under the logo “Arc Symphony” is more or less this:

All Japanese commercials are that way, celebrity endorsement or not. They try too hard to be funny and memorable.

It’s not really all of a sudden. It’s been huge ever since the first anime aired in 2013.

My husband (American) hates American mayo. But he loves Japanese Kewpie mayo. For me personally, I’m fine with both, but I do have the slight preference towards Kewpie (again, I’m American and grew up with American mayo). It’s less sweet, but is flavorful in other ways. I also like that it’s thicker and comes in a…

I liked the thimble. I used it a lot. :(

Why so expensive? Tokyo Game Show is open to the public. It only costs 1,000 yen (in advance)/1,200 yen (at the door) per day to go. And the public would have access to similar sorts of things at E3 as they do at TGS.

I give books 50 pages. Sometimes 100, depending on length. If they can’t grab me in that time, they probably never will. There’s too many books to read to be bothered by having to drop some.

I definitely remember when the DS was announced. I thought the dual screen thing was a gimmick. I quickly got over that when Trauma Center and Phoenix Wright came out. Those two games are what convinced me to buy a DS (still in the Fat DS days!).

This definitely wasn’t the case BEFORE Black Friday. I had to purchase a second 3DS so husband and I could play Pokemon Sun/Moon together. I bought a brand new Yokai Watch 2DS from Walmart.com (specifically from Walmart, not a seller) about a week before those games came out last month. I went for that because I was…

Depends on the anime, depends on the fanservice. I don’t care about fanservice myself, so the shows that are specifically all about the fan-service I avoid. It hasn’t happened often, but a few shows I specifically dropped because the fanservice went too far. But other shows that sometimes get fanservice complaints I…

Ah, Super Potato. The store I wanted to love but could not find myself able to because of the price gouging. It’s great for tourists, who don’t have the time to look around at other places. But for anyone who is in Japan for a longer period of time, you’re far better off going to Hard-Off, A-Too in Osaka, ordering…

For those who want to see more gameplay and missed it, a month ago Breath of the Wild was actually featured on the web/Youtube-only video series, Gamecenter DX (hosted by Arino of Gamecenter CX’s comedy partner). It’s not English subbed though.

Animorphs didn’t exist before FFIV/FFII SNES’ release. Just sayin’.
