If the weird crackers are what I think they are though, they're pretty delicious :3 Quote

Fred the Barber Posted June 12, 2016 Posted June 12, 2016 ... people thought bubble tea was carbonated tea? It's delicious, if you like desserty drinks and tea, and if you can deal with the texture of the large tapioca balls. It's fine for me, but it seems many people find it off-putting. I actually haven't even had any flavors I disliked, but I'm not too adventurous with it... simple milk tea might be pretty good as a starter, and at least then the only surprise will be the "bubbles".

Kaykeiokay Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 I noticed that a few of you guys seem like the Overlord anime, but did you guys know that the light novel has begun being localized by Yen Press? The first volume came out a little while ago and I finally got my hands on a copy yesterday. This is my first light novel, so I'm pretty excited to try out the medium. It was a little annoying to find though, because my local book store can't decide what section they want to put light novels in. They have some in their 3 different manga sections but then others they treat like actual novels and have them in their respective genre section. It's a pretty high quality release, aside from the cover art being on a slip cover rather than on the hard cover itself. (The hard cover is just a matte black with the title embossed on the spine.) The pages are a really nice thickness and the art style of the illustrations is very beautiful to look at. (And in full color) There's even a pull out art print of the main crew that has the map of Nazarick on the back. Boy, is that map going to be helpful in the future, Nazarick is too massive for its own good. At the back there's character's stat profiles for 4 of the characters, it's definitely a nice bonus to see what exactly these character's in game stats are. (It's like I'm reading Fate/stay Night all over again) Spoiler I really want to start reading it, but I'm probably going to have to wait until after July 3rd, due to some prior commitments. If you guys ever feel adventurous with your bubble tea I recommend you try Avocado milk tea. I know it sounds really weird/gross, but it's actually quite nice. There are also other toppings you can put in besides just the tapioca pearls depending on where you go. There's popping Boba that are similar to the tapioca pearls but with juice inside, different flavors of jelly, and even mini mochi. Quote

Bubble tea is great, but you definitely need to try different combinations of flavors until you find the right one for you. I remember my first Ramune. I brought it back from Düsseldorf's Japan day. I had no idea how to open it, so I looked up instructions online. I opened it and it sprayed everywhere. I didn't hold it tightly enough apparently. But then I also drank it from the wrong side and the marble rolled back in place and the pressure kept it there again. I had no idea what was going on, I looked down and saw the marble, attempted to push it away with my finger, and the drink sprayed all up in my face. Fun times! Fred the Barber 1 Quote
Zalor Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 A few weeks ago I was in Taiwan for a class of mine, and in Taipei (not far from National Taiwan University for those of you who are familiar with Taipei's geography), there is this great otaku store that sells a bunch of doujinshi. And a lot of it is stuff from the late 90's to mid 2000ths, which is an era of otaku related media that I have a huge soft spot for. In any case, I manged to find three doujins made by the artist of Symphonic Rain (one of my favorite VNs). So of course I bought all three.

niku Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I had a huge package with Famicom RPGs (+DQVI for SFC). All the boxes next to each other made me very happy indeed :3 Kawasumi 1 Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I thought 8 days was the max, but I guess I underestimated my country. This book took 10 days to get here, but finally, I can read Kizumonogatari and not give a shit about the movie memes! I only wish the book was a bit taller, since this is a bit shorter than the average. Quote

Also got oppai milk chocolates (actual name) shaped as actual oppai,l with pink nipples lol. Quote
niku Posted June 23, 2016 Posted June 23, 2016 I just keep buying things :/ And also Mortal Kombat XL & Injustice but I suppose they aren't Japanese. Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 24, 2016 Posted June 24, 2016 This may or may not have been a huge mistake, but now the money is gone : ^) Kinda upset the cover of vol 1 is a bit damaged, but hey what can you do. Quote

LiquidShu Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 Chihayafuru completely broke me down. Whenever I think "I want, I need, to play something", I think of karuta. I don't care if no one else will play with me, I need to at least give it a shot. With that said I ordered myself a karuta set. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ogura-Hyakunin-Isshu-Karuta-Japanese-Card-Game-with-CD-Chihayafuru-FreeShipping-/172251428141?hash=item281afc352d:g:TI4AAOSwJkJWjeAe I'm excited Nosebleed and Fred the Barber 2 Quote
Nosebleed Posted June 27, 2016 Posted June 27, 2016 It's never too early to become a pro Karuta player. May you become the first Gaijin Meijin. Today I ordered some more books, namely Orange vol 1 (vol 2 was sold out) and Oyasumi Punpun vol 1 (gonna wait and see if I can get a better price for vol 2). LiquidShu 1 Quote

Haha thanks Nosebleed Speaking of books I got this last Monday: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0804705232/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. While not from Japan, it's directly related to Japan so that counts(?). Quote
