Stream Schedule For This Week!

Been a while since I posted about work. Recently, we got more display cases and decided to dedicate one entirely to anime figures. Here’s a quick video on some of the stuff inside it.

Been watching Totally Not Mark’s One Piece review series and it’s making me wanna reread the manga from the beginning. I’ve only been reading since Zou and have been caught up since. Before that, I had only seen the anime. Also been thinking about rewatching the dub from where I left off there (Marineford). Like, I really want to but it’s such a huge commitment. Once I get caught up with Mark’s reviews I’ll start seriously considering it.

Saw One Piece Film: Red the other day with my wife and a friend. Fantastic film! I’d never seen a One Piece film before so it was pretty fun. I am caught up with the manga and occasionally watch clips from the anime. But yeah, it was really fun! Loved that it was a musical! Also, there’s a little something in there for the manga readers so be sure to look for that. :) I wish I could be less generic with this description but I really don’t want to spoil anything. If you like One Piece I can’t recommend it enough!

I was watching the new Bleach episode this morning and realized something really funny. It may only be funny to me but I thought it was worth sharing. Spoilers if you haven't seen the latest episode yet:

Okay, so Nel drops in on Ichigo to tell him Hueco Mundo has been attacked and I'm like, "Yay Nel!" Then Pesche follows shortly after and I'm like, "Ehhh, okay." Until I realize that Pesche's voice sounds very familiar. Specifically, it sounds like Takehito Koyasu. I look it up and yup, it is him. Now why is this so funny, you might ask? Simple. Because it means that this guy,

is voiced by the same guy that voices

Dio Brando from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

Again, this may only be funny to me, but it's really funny.

Bonus fact: Takehito Koyasu also voices Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo from the series of the same name. Also really funny.

I love the concept of Baratie not just bc it's a sea restaurant and that's cool but because their policy is the absolute antithesis of "the customer is always right." Oh you wanna be a jerk to the staff? Get decked, loser. Being terrible on a date? Congratulations, our sous chef will steal your girl. Ordered a wine that pairs badly? Ignored, we're picking a better one. It's like objectively the funniest way to run a restaurant and I can't stop thinking about it.

This is my cat, Ichigo. I realize he is not orange but the color of his fur does look like a shihakusho so the name still fits. He is very cute. That is all.

Commissions on tumblr are open, I need at least 5 slots. They take a few months to complete because of the high volume I get and little time i have, but I really need the help right now. I recently lost my job and my new one starts in February, so I need my commissions to tide my roommate and I over. She’s also become very sick recently, so we need all the help we can get.

Please dm me if interested, and if not, I would really appreciate any reblogs.

My anime style is 20% more on each of the costs due to the time it takes.

Edit that requires it’s own repost:

Girls Band Cry (Crunchyroll)

This came out last spring and wasn’t availble to Western audiences until September where you had to buy it on Prime Video. I just recently found out that Crunchyroll licensed it back in November and holy shit is it good! I really wish I had seen it sooner.

My local comicon is this weekend and I’ve been thinking about what I’m gonna wear on Sunday. I’m not cosplaying but I am gonna try and represent as many fandoms as possible. Might post pictures here.

Well, it took four and a half years but I finally caught COVID. It’s just mild symptoms but I’ll still need to isolate for about a week. Hopefully it’ll pass pretty quickly. In the meantime, let’s look at the positives. I’ve got a backlog of games and anime to work through so that’ll be fun.
