>>You're the only one seething about how HEAVEN"S FEEL IS STUPID AND CONTRIVED AND IT DOESN'T WORK
>Exactly.
Thanks for admitting it. Keep seething, it only makes you look more retarded.

>The point of UBW isn't him simply doing shit despite the universe itself disagreeing with him, because he can continue regardless if that's the case. The point is his willpower.
Yes, the will power to keep doing stupid shit despite the universe itself disagreeing with him.

>As opposed to the fairytale where he can magically win in Heaven's Feel despite the bullshit odds against him.
He fucking died, it took a miracle to save him, his body is a puppet requiring mana to function and the woman he loves is wracked with guilt about the people killed by the shadow. How is this remotely comparable to the other routes where Shirou sacrifices nothing and is never faced with a hard choice that forces him to choose who to save?

>Anon, he knew her for less than a week, and he didn't connect with her at all compared to Fate or even UBW somewhat
Anon, Shirou instantly connects with Saber in any route, despite the little time he knows her. It's certain you haven't read the vn, and I'm beginning to think you didn't even watch the anime. No one who did could possibly think that Saber means nothing to Shirou.

>As soon as Alter is dead Shirou doesn't think about her whatsoever. It's just feelsbait for people who can't see how superficial her role is.
>Shirou doesn't think about her whatsoever
lol

>Also, even her role is retarded. Shirou could've simply stabbed her with Rule Breaker to cut off her connection and then kept the dagger with him to use it on Sakura.
A) Rule Breaker would have severed her connection, but it would not have unaltered her. She would still kill him right after. If he wanted to save Sakura, Shirou had to kill Saber. There was no other way, no fairy tale 3rd option that would allow him to save everyone.
B) He CANNOT keep the dagger, just like he wasn't able to keep any of the other weapons he projected! What the fuck gave you the impression that he could?

>The kids in Kirei's basement definitely died though.
And how could he have saved them?

>And surprisingly enough... there was something to be done.
lol, again. You're claiming, at the same time, that Shirou is stupid for trying to save Sakura, that the route is a stupid fairy tale for allowing a magical way for her to be saved AND that Rin is stupid for deciding it was impossible for her to be saved! What is it anon? Was it realistic for Sakura to be saved, in which case Rin is stupid for giving up, or is it a fairy tale, in which case Rin did what she always does and pursued what she saw as the realistic option?

>Nah, it's definitely stupid, contrived, forced and retarded. But it's within your rights to like autistic nonsense.
>>35990698
>I guess I'm just sick of people who treat HF Shirou as the objectively best one and only path.
Man, you can't even keep up the pretense for more than a single post. You hate HF and you don't miss a chance to shit on it both here and on /a/, and ALL your problems with the route stem from the fact that you definitely didn't read it, and you either didn't watch it or you were too stupid to understand even the most basic things about it!

She is one of the cloned enemies in Blaster Master Zero 3. Unlike most enemies in the game that are really trying to kill you, seems like they were just trying to immobilize as their material show them calling Jason “papa”
>>35968259
The first one in the trilogy I have problems since the top-down segments (outside the tank) are super slow. The game has a big map but no fast travel and 100% item completion is needed for the true good ending. That aside the tank segments and exploration play like a Metroidvania, leaning more on the Metroid side.
The subsequent games felt like a huge improvement, reducing damage but focusing on a faster paced reaction playstyle, Jason gains dashing skills, the tank has better energy management, since they are doing interstellar travel it instead focuses on more compact maps as he travels planet to planet and it’s easier to backtrack if and when needed. Since it isn’t a remake they also expanded the cast as well. Jason wasn’t the only guy that encountered a droid of the opposite gender to help fight in the alien invasion and the native heroes of their respective planets did as well. Pic related is Kanna, the plant girl of Planet Stranga and her partner droid that took a father role to her.
3rd game is the one that released last week, and the story is so fucking good, the conclusion was just beautiful.

Shien Pasta
>Used to walk around town wearing pikachu underwear and no pants, because he thought they were shorts
>Set his twitter account's birthdate to his Holostars debut date, got banned for months as a result. This lead to him being known as a baby by the rest of the Holostars.
>Once accidentally hijacked the Holostars youtube account and started streaming on it, thinking that it was his own account, and it took him 15 minutes to realize what was going on when his manager messaged him on discord in a panic
>During Sora's birthday stream, when every other holo from every branch stopped streaming, Shien started a horror game stream where he clipped a peg on his face everytime he got startled, and had to stop the stream because he was in too much pain
>Did a cooking stream on his vertically filming unsecured phone and ended up recording his feet, got chewed out publicly by his manager and had to delete the VOD. Decided it would still be a good idea to upload it to Twitcast later that night anyways.
>Has a crippling ass fetish
>Sang 'nigga' twice in GTAV despite his chat warning him well in advance he probably shouldn't say it
>Once did a DDLC stream where he voiced all the female characters' lines in the highest pitch he could, ended up wearing out his throat and he couldn't stream the next day (he didn't learn his lesson, and did another voice acted DDLC stream later that week)
>Once electrocuted himself to the point of ejaculation on stream
>Formed a team to join a serious Vtuber APEX tournament filled with Diamond and Master players, on the condition that everyone in his team use controllers to play. They were last place with no kills.
>Fled an anime convention after a girl cornered him and ranted the entirety of The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku at him, leaving an enduring emotional scar
>Made the committee of the first Vtuber Apex tourney restart because he couldn't get in.
>Later was joined by some chump named Kawase and Pikamee in the tournament afterparty. Kawase gave most of his equipment to him and was only allowed to go all out when bossu sacrificed himself as a summoning catalyst to provide Kawase with the Mastiff. Kawase then got champion within 10 minutes of Shien's sacrifice.
>Had technical problems which caused him to stream during Sora's 3rd year anniversary stream since he streamed an hour late from the original schedule.
>roommate wanted to post a screenshot of a funny post he saw on twitter, but he screenshotted the post on his SHIEN twitter. Post stayed up for 4 months until someone on 5ch pointed it out and the post was deleted 5 minutes later.
>In the Among Us collab with all the Holostars, he killed Rikka in front of everyone in the first game and then when called up, he denied it. In the end he was ejected and after that game, everyone decided to kill him as soon as possible because he's always a sus.
>set his rules to 10th or ends the stream, fails and starts another stream at 15th or lower ending the stream
>loses that once more and does an 18th or lower ends the stream, the first time around he says that losing in a team game doesn't count, and the second game he gets 19th and he changes the rules mid stream and pretends those were the rules all the time
>proceeds to win the fall guys game and tells his chat to give him a break

Yep. They're cute but I'm gonna keep saving in case they release the moon himes next week. Already have 2 sparks prepared, working on a 3rd. If it's Youmu OC I will be disappoint. I prefer the original.

So the next week's watchalong will be on friday because on saturday Miko will be doing a countdown stream to her 3rd anniversary

Nijisanji should really do a Hunger Games style Vtuber competition. 24 Vtubers in 12 pairs (1 male 1 female) and the least popular group each week gets pruned until one pair remains standing.
Maybe grab the 2nd and 3rd place pairs too and debut them into two 3-person generations.

It hasn't even been a week yet and it has 2/3rd's of what Smile & Go has. It's doing fine.

>>35520783

i have been learning japanese for 5 years.
also it has already been a week of me doing this

here are the phases i went through:

first phase anki/memrise/duolingo/japaneseclass.jp/genki books where i just learned vocabulary and grammar

2nd phase
clozemaster/manga/ anki (sentence-mined for a while) the manga was a mistake. i think you should do anime or something that involves audio first before you do manga. the audio helps

3rd phase: just watching misa sensei videos over and over. feeling burned out and being lazy

4th phase watching anime and analyzing the dialogue( i was not watching segments of epsodes over and over)

5th phase
analyze the lyrics of 80s jpop songs over and over. i did this for a while

6th phase
back to watching anime(except i analyze segments of an episode over and over again which is what i should have done before)

Okayu Catsudan 1/2

>Tomorrow
Okayu's Rainy Day Live is tomorrow. Even though she only announced it a week ago, it still feels like it's coming so fast. She hopes everybody can come and see it. If you have work, she understands, though she does yell "YADA" several times; she's sorry for being selfish. Oh, she can be even more selfish? She can't though, you're all so kind that it'd make things hard for you. You want things to be hard? You're really all a bunch of M's, just like her.

>Yesterday's collab
For those who watch Korosan's totsumachi, they know how the idea for the collab started when she talked about the lack of Okakoro at the end. After that, they went and invited Mio-chan to join them too. Apparently 4 person Mario Party collabs can take a bit of time, so you have to submit an actual request to do them(?), so they had to go with 3 since it was pretty spur of the moment. She knows a lot of people are probably wondering why it wasn't a 4 person collab. She still can't believe the CPU won, and that they all have to do a punishment stream now. Her Mario Party pride is seriously hurt. She's so experienced at all the Mario Party games(except the handhelds), that it's a huge insult to have been beaten so completely.

>New Mario Party
Okayu's really excited for it! She loves the older Mario Party games, and had always secretly been wishing for the old levels/games to come out in a new work, so this was by far the title that got her most excited. Did everybody notice that the BGM right in the beginning of the trailer was one from the 3rd game? She really loved playing on the Peach's Cake level too, so she was happy to see that it and Space World were both confirmed for the game. Also, she looked at the list of minigames, and it seems like another one of her favorites, the ice cream catching game from 5, made it in too! She really wants to play it with the other holos when it comes out. She's said it before, but she didn't have many friends to play party games with in the past, and always played them by herself, but now she has tons of people around her to play them with! She wonders if it's okay for her to have so much happiness. She keeps rewatching the trailer whenever she has free time.

>The Live
Okayu really is nervous about it. She knows her fans will be happy no matter what she does as long as she has fun, but she really wants to show them her good side. Her voice gets shrill when she's nervous? Exactly! She feels like she managed to hide that for almost the entirety of the first year, but now all her fans know. Please don't go telling that to anybody who still thinks she's not the type to get nervous though. It's also crazy that there's a huge forecast for rain tomorrow. No, she didn't predict it a week in advance or anything. Is she a cat who likes rain? She really doesn't pay too much attention to the weather, being a shut-in and all. She probably notices it even less now that she's in the city and so many places are right next to train stations. She hardly needs an umbrella.

>Umbrellas
Okayu's seen a lot of fans on twitter posting screenshots of umbrellas that they plan to use when cheering, from their own homes, during the Live. She thinks there might also be a lot who go with raincoats too. It's like a Yakult Swallows(Baseball team) game? That's right! Okayu actually doesn't know too much about baseball, but she did go and see one of their games live and there were lots of people with umbrellas.

>Baseball with Korosan
As you may have guessed, Okayu went to this game with Korosan, who was very good at explaining things to Okayu. Okayu likes to brag a bit about how the first/only game she went to had a player score 3 homeruns. She remembers Korosan freaking out and telling her how amazing this match was and how happy she was to have brought her to see it. Some people here saw that same match? Well then, there's a chance that Okakoro was sitting somewhere nearby you, though there were tons of people there. This was also before they entered hololive, so this was more like future-Okakoro. Still, it's almost kind of romantic, like destiny.

>The meaning of "Dasai"
Okayu's been seriously wondering about what makes something dasai(think tacky or cheesy). She talks for a while about thinking about what it truly means. The meaning she settles upon is something that causes your brain to feel some kind of stress when you see it. Like, if she took the topic text, and moved it from the white cloud to behind her head, that would bother people, right? Well, intentionally tacky things can be really funny too though. Maybe that's why she tries to keep all her thumbnails simple usually.

Here, some spoonfeeding for the newfags itt:


>Suisei started as an indie with absolutely no backing at all
>had to work part-time to fund herself, worked at fast food and izakaya on top of having to take on video commissions
>released 1st original song whose lyrics basically say "please find me and notice me", didn't reach far as she wanted it to
>she didn't really know what exactly her strengths are because even if she's a jack of all trades, she's a master of none, she knows her works are painfully mediocre and she doesn't have the "uniqueness" to stand out, which gave her a severe lack of confidence that only got better recently but she still has it
>she wasn't even sure if she was actually an idol but still tried her best to act like it because it's her character, in her old streams it was even a joke to type "アイドル…? (idol…?)" when she says "I'm an idol after all!"
>everyone thought she was stupid because she mispelled Idol Youtuber as Aidol Youtuber in her first ever batch of goods and had to prove she wasn't retarded through kanji tests (she got shitty marks), whistling (she still can't do it after 2 years), and tetris (she was deathly nervous back then so she lost a couple times against viewers)
>eventually joined S:gnal in hopes of actually making something worthwhile, got kicked out after a month for unspecified reasons and was banned from doing any activities for a week
>released Tenkyuu on her 1st anniversary, meant it to be her swan song and an expression of gratitude for all the cometomos who still support her (that's why at the very end of Tenkyuu MV you can see there's a message saying "あなたに、感謝を込めて")
>still somehow didn't want to give up so she joined INNK
>promised her fans that she'll do stuff like releasing a 3rd original song, getting a 3D model after 30k subs and so on
>she got neglected and didn't release anything anyway for a year and had to commission everything for her Kakusei cover because INNK won't provide her with anything
>increased her stream times and frequency, from once a week she streamed everyday, sometimes twice for around 1-2 hours depending on her mood, but still stayed unpopular
>thought about quitting a lot of times but when her friends and the holos ask her for a collab she felt like continuing so she did
>finally moved to main branch
>got a new model, FBK and other holos dropped by to tell her she's cute and welcome to Hololive, FBK in particular dropped her an akasupa

New stream language rates from Watame's members stream:
Kiara: 30% Japanse, 40% English, 30% Kraut
Mori: 80% English, 10% Japanese, 10% Eminem
Ina: 60% English, 10% Japanese, 30% Korean
Ame: 80% English, 20% Spanish
Gura: 80% English, 20% Spanish

There's a 5% leeway, but after crossing it you get a warning, 2nd time a 2 week suspension and 3rd time you'll get send to Niji.

>>34029558
YO I'm downloading "Aqours 3rd live.ts" .Maybe you have it? I've been at 20% for a week T.T

I thought its gonna be Jisuizu, but turns out Rikka, Temma, and Shien. So, RAG for the Wachastar 3rd week?
https://youtu.be/CfqbujOYz7M

Tomorrow is going to be another Wachastar right? Thursday on the 1st (& 3rd) week in a month

No prob. As far as the basics go, there's quite a bit. To learn the two main alphabets, Hiragana and Katakana, it would take no longer than 2-3 weeks to pretty much fully memorize it and read without looking up a letter. To learn the "3rd" alphabet, Kanji, it will take as much time as you have left on this earth so I wouldn't bother too much for the level you want to get to. Just learn the easy and simple ones like days of the week and such. To learn the basic grammar, it will take a bit longer. A couple months to be exact. The basic grammar, alphabet and vocab/kanji would all be covered in the Genki 1 textbook. I highly recommend this book as well as the workbook that goes with it. Together they cost $70 U.S i think.

As far as grammar itself, there's quite a lot. But again you only really need whats in Genki 1 to learn the basics

With Anime, I can pretty much watch without subs and get a pretty good feel for whats being said but I still use them to fill the blanks. It depends on the show too. If its pokemon or something than Im completely good without subs but if its something like The Monogatari series, I need the subs.

I would say that there is that point where it clicks. But it happens on two fronts. One is the reading and writing, and the other is with speaking. The one that will come first is the reading and writing. After you learn the foundations everything after follows those rules very strictly. This is very unlike English or German where the rules are only a loose guideline ( I studied german for 2 years but got frustrated with the lack of strict verb and noun conjugation rules). With speaking it will happen much later. This is because speaking uses a lot more complex forms at a much faster rate. That being said Japanese is not anything like English or German. With English and German, they are very closely related languages so once you study enough it will start to become easier every day because similarities will start to show. But Japanese is much more of an uphill battle. With each step it doesn't become more familiar for quite a while. But once it does, it really pays off. To get to a point where you don't need textbooks is not really something I'm confident in saying but if you aren't aiming for native fluency, you'll be fine I think.

The most important thing is to keep at it and to not quit if you get frustrated, and to study regularly. I wish you luck and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
