AAAAaaaAAAa Mayumi Tanaka!! Masako Nozawa!!!
Perfection. I really needed a laugh today.
A listing for Me & Roboco: The Movie on the Cruchyroll website.
Excuse me, why is the Me & Roboco movie on Crunchy and I wasn’t informed?!?
Shonen Jump app page for “Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz” by Hideaki Sorachi
Now I kinda want Class B to have a post-MHA villain origin story.
A tabby cat sits on top of me.
Cat-sitting Mags here for a friend this week. She’s so cuddly!
Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!” Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?” Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.” Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”
How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)
Just going to point out that Toho has put the entire subtitled MHA season 1 on YoTube. It’s the Blu-Ray version too!

Yikes
Stat screen for a level 5 Spearow with the shiny icon in the corner. It’s more golden in color than a regular Spearow.
Spearow took longer—108 eggs. How Buddhist
I got the Peanuts Humble Bundle and reading from the beginning.
It’s blowing my mind that the Peanuts we know from the TV specials are apparently from a post-timeskip era.
Homer Simpson sits in wet cement surrounded by chaotically assembled grill components. He is reading the instructions and asks “Le Grille?” Frame from Simpsons season 10 episode 19, “Mom and Pop Art”
My brother helped me assemble a grill yesterday, so Simpsons quoting was mandatory.
I’m one of the most “do things in order” type of person and yet the first chapter of MHA I read was chapter 64 (cause that’s when I subbed to Jump). And read backwards for a bit with back issues. Worked out great for me!
Guffaw-level laughs this week, especially when Roboco wrote the editorial hype comments for Akane-banashi and One Piece. Shonen Jump themed chapters are always golden.

MHA crumb in Me & Roboco this week.
cosigned.
whenever you love a line of dialogue or narration in a manga or novel I translated, it's 95% me (or my editor), not the original author.
a translated work is like a cover of a song or a movie adaptation of a book. it's its own thing.
Stat screen for a shiny female Pidgey, level 45
Turns out the getting shiny eggs in Gen 2 really is that easy—a shiny Pidgey bred from my shiny Zubat after only 34 eggs.
An orange and black butterfly perched on a tree branch full of apple blossoms.
I took a ridiculous amount of pics trying to capture this butterfly that’s too far away, so sunk cost fallacy says it goes on the TL.
My hand holding volume 6 of “The Bugle Call: Song of War” and volume 10 of “Daemons of the Shadow Realm”
New release day, despite everything.
Everyone checking out Witch Hat Atelier please also read Eniale and Dewiela
Same author, only 3 volumes long!!
An adult content warning for that comic famously not for children…Captain Underpants
I’ve spend the last couple One Piece chapters wondering if Imu can’t use thou/ye verb conjugations correctly or if I can’t.
Before the Daemons of the Shadow Realm anime premieres on Saturday, I just wanna give a massive THANK YOU to all the OG manga fans!
You guys are the reason I’ve pulled all-nighters to get the simulpub chapters out on time, and you guys believed in this series when it was still niche in the West!
Two floppy disks, a yellow one labeled with my name and a black one labeled with “Sandy’s Doctor Who theme”
Discovered some personal relics while visiting my parents.
“Sandy’s Dr. Who theme” had me puzzled for a while, but I think it’s my attempt to play it on an electric piano that records to floppy disk.
(Which is why I have so much unfinished business I’m now working to correct)
As a side note, I had almost 400 hours on that one Ruby game. I recently saw a YoTube comment that incredulously asked how someone could have only 4 badges with 70 hours of play, but those are typical stats for me. Sometimes people care more about having fun training pokes than progressing the plot.
I did finally become the Hoenn League Champion for the first time in my original Ruby game, so there’s that checkbox complete.
Turns out I can’t complete the Pokédex in Gen 3 with the games I have access to, since Ho-Oh/Lugia need to come from Colosseum. But the rest of the Dex will be ridiculously difficult with multiple playthroughs of multiple games, so I guess I’ll cross that bridge if I ever get there.
Was about to say that I never think about any tweets, but realized that’s a lie. I do reference dril’s “help me budget this, my family is dying” all the time.
An overlook from a mountain pass. There are patches of fresh-fallen snow and dark clouds with sunlight beginning to break through.
