Alright here is likely my penultimate series of posts regarding my anime pilgrimage to Japan vis photos. It's Osaka and Kyoto. First off, Nijigasaki movie 2 at Dotonbori. We have the famous Glico running man and then the building Rina as Alan to the left of the fourth pic. 1/? 🧵

Anime pilgrimage in Japan day 9 with mild spoilers for Nijigasaki Movie Part 2. So maybe look away if you don't want to know who performs where. First, Mia shares her backstory and later races down Umekita Park. Hopefully you can see it without Christmas installments. 1/3 🧵

Haul from Love Live Nijigasaki Movie part 2 and Pokemon Observatory. Obviously Setsuna is my favorite so anything not her was random, except Karen (2nd fav) and clear files were a set of 3. Then Pokemon goods contain some gifts but the book summarizes the exhibit nicely.

Finished seeing the Love Live Nijigasaki Movie part 2! I enjoyed my time and thought it was great. I loved maintaining the theme of communication between everyone and a sub plot about identity. \o/ Some cute Easter eggs as well. Also got last Setsuna stand they had on shelf.

Alright, here's a seichi junrei holy anime pilgrimage photo bomb from Love Live! Sunshine!! in Numazu and Uchiura. Who knows how long this will be. Made my way to central park and Kano River where the girls solidify their resolve without spoiling. 1/? 🧵

Today I've finally arrived in Numazu! The sacred land of Aqours from Love Live. Sadly the culture love fair ended yesterday but the decorations and goods were still on sale. It's amazing to see the city support them at every corner you go ❤️

GJ-Bu focuses mostly on the school but we see the club venture out from time to time, especially in the OVA. In the 2nd part, the club tried to mend Kyoro and Mao's relationship, with one scene taking place at Higashi-Chofu Park. 1/3 🧵

Today I returned to Akihabara before I journey to the west (like the pun? 😜) First off I visited Yanagi-Dori shrine that Konoha stumbled upon in the middle of Akihabara in 16bit Sensation Another Layer. I made sure to donate and pay my respects to the Gods of this land again 1/2

I also attended the Love Live Fan Fest at Yagiyama Benyland for the series 15th anniversary. A beautiful park with many rides compact near each other, making me realize how much empty space the US uses compared to Japan. 1/2

Woke up after an exhausting long day yesterday with an almost dead phone. First off, the Lapras Playground was at Kasenuma Park in Shin-Rifu, a lovely countryside town with the future encroaching ever further. Lots of large insects too, especially dragonflies.

Clickbait title: I flew nearly 5000 miles to meet my favorite Pokemon IN REAL LIFE! Lapras Playground and Cafe grand opening weekend

I went to the Akira Amano Exhibit in Roppongi yesterday. I took a bunch of photos but most of them will be in my video on the experience. For now, enjoy these photos from the Katekyo Hitman Reborn section.

Anime pilgrimage day 2+3! Yesterday I visited Odaiba, the setting of Love Live Nijigasaki School Idol Club. I visited the infamous stairs of Setsuna's first performance. They make a repeat occurrence in the series during School Idol Festival and Next Sky. 1/6🧵

Goomy and I watched Pokemon Horizons newest season as it aired in Japan. I recorded my reaction to it for a video I plan to make when I return home. 👀

It looks like I swung Goomy in but it was a miraculous win with only 400 yen. #Round1 #Japan #Pokemon

I'm tired so I'll explain my day later but here's my pilgrimage to Kanda Myojin Shrine in the heart of Akihabara. Of course it was featured in Love Live! and I had to visit it. I paid my respects at the shrine and ran up the stairs u's exercised on. <3 1/? 🧵

I've arrived in the land of the rising sun. 🗾

On the plane to Japan. \o/ Nihon Ikimasu~

Yatta! I won the Love Live cafe lottery reservation! 8D That's one more thing checked off before my trip to Japan, which is happening next week. To think it is approaching so quickly. x.x My final things to secure are the Akira Amano exhibit and Pokemon Observatory tickets.

On this day nearly 20 years ago, the anime Myself; Yourself premiered. It was one of the first anime I watched and hold in high regard to this day. An emotional story that conveyed to me the power anime possesses and made me indulge in the medium more. 1/2

Today's the day I share with you my favorite video game: a 20YO anime racing game from South Korea called Tales Runner. A nearly 2 hour retrospective video essay explaining what the game is, reminiscing on fond memories and analyzing the themes underlying the story.

I've been non-stop editing these past couple of days (with some breaks, don't worry!) and I have twenty minutes remaining of this 100 minute long video essay. I believe I can finish it tomorrow and possibly release it over the weekend. \o/ LET'S DO THIS! ❤️‍🔥

I want to give immense thanks to the #CocoppaPlay team for giving back my hacked account. I was losing it last night but their support was speedy. I've played for 10 years and spent hundreds of $$$ on this account. I am incredibly grateful. Thank you. <3

The fact Mjerrabaine in SVWB adopts Deus Ex Machina's discard six makes me think this is inspired by Light Tenryu's use of the Omens via Arclight Ruler's effect in Shadowverse Flame. 🤔

All you need is 20 pulls and a dream! I got Hysilens on my 2nd 10 pull, after using everything for Saber. I farmed some more over the weekend but I didn't think I would get her. Thank you so much mom. <3 #HonkaiStarRail

Birthday stream is now live! Leading with Genshin while I wait for friends, and then doing summons on Tales Runner RPG, Summoners War & Honkai: Star Rail! Come stop by if you can~ www.twitch.tv/shedge

Went to see if anyone else was talking about Tales Runner today and I discovered this. o3o Is it an official English version of RPG? Seems legit looking at the publisher's profile. tr-rpg.com

Happy 20th anniversary to my favorite game in the world, Tales Runner! A children's racing game that changed my life where I met so many wonderful people who I talk to til this day. A fun and unique experience using fairy tales as a theme for maps that I wish everyone could enjoy

Just played with Gwog's latest build of Battleborn Reborn and color me impressed! Gear and mutations are active, alongside the original lobby to launch from. I hope Gwog eventually adds QOL with the gear selector as I had to keep looking up what each one did lol. 1/2

I was very lucky to get the Winter set in the PUBG x aespa Collab, and she is the one I wanted! 😍 I only did $5 so I wish others the best of luck in their pulls. \o/ I dislike how scummy these crates have become.

Let's see if anime bsky can help me identify these school uniforms. I'll explain in my next video. Pretty sure Nico from Love Live (#3), Haruhi (#8) and Leila from Code Geass (#9) are exact. I'm confident with Shakugan no Shana (#5) but could be someone else. 1/2

Today I went to the Mariners game featuring Pokemon Go night. Caught several Pikachu and some near hundos. My mom took me here regularly for my birthday so I was reminiscing with where we went and what changed. Congrats to the Mariners winning!

Today after my doctor's appointment I visited a park my mom would take us to as children after school, and we would camp there in the summer as well. I took a stroll down memory lane and visited spots we played out. We miss you Mom, and we love you. <3

Video essay so good I had to draw your avatar as thanks Thank you again for the food

Congratulations. You now have a choice to make: watch the latest hour-long video essay on the anime Shadowverse Flame, or watch the latest hour-long video essay on the anime Shadowverse Flame. I promise this post relates to the subject matter.
