Hey guys at a thrift place I found a Hitachi auto Home Bakery III HB-C103.
It's going for 20$, would y'all say this is a good buy?. It looks basically like new from inside and out but ik it's an old model, thoughts?
Slightly pedantic rant and correction, feel free to skip if you want. This is a pretty popular meme panel in the community and will be an early scene in the movie. Ch 62(.5) made in abyss.
So with the trailer dropping and looking amazing, I wanted the future translators if they're for some reason reading this to not do a direct import from the English manga translation.
Here Tempest states "一発やっていきません?" In the middle panel aka Ippatsu yatte ikimasen aka "Won't you do one round/shot before you go?"
In everyday modern Japanese adult slang, "ippatsu yaru" is a common saying to basically go have quick sex. I'm assuming this is why the EN translation says "quickie" but this doesn't really fit the scene at all or the play on words by the author here.
Ippatsu (one round/shot/try) is regularly used for non-sexual activities. You can have "one round" of a game, "one round" of drinks, or "one shot" at trying a challenge or something.
The play on words here is Tempest in the previous scene is talking about how big C always eats this same dish and then he gets another bowl. Her seeing him eat so much of it and wanting to eat it too(hence her mischievous look in middle panel) is saying "let's have a go at it" as in "let's dig into a bowl of this food" as in she wants a bowl of the food he's always eating.
Her being young(or maybe just teasing) using this slang makes big C think she means a quickie as in sex. He of course says it'll mess up his luck ritual because sex would be "bad luck" before a ritual.
If you notice in the bottom panel Tepaste is confused saying "Ah! you talkin about that prayer you always do?". She's confused because he's bringing up the prayer when she just meant eating the bowl of food, hence why she orders a bowl after and is also why the waiter clinks the bowls when she says "ippatsu" so casually as he's also an adult and understands (but she doesn't hence her saying it so casually out in open).
This is kinda hard to localize and is why a lot of translators like the Russian one and brazil just say "go have a quickie", the Ukraine one basically says "go fool/play around" which is also kinda iffy but more vague. For English speaks no one says a "quickie" referencing eating food quick so there's no punchline and it's only sexual even if it is a possible translation.
To properly localize this it should be "Hey, want to go for a quick round before we head out?". This way it sounds like she's asking for a round of sex to the adults but is more clear she means a round as in a quick round of eating/food to the audience before they dive.
Idk this is kinda just a hard joke to land quickly, I'd just change it for a more obvious sexual innuendo that no one would say out loud to show she doesn't literally mean that. It felt kinda baffling when I first read it and as most of the community saw it as just her asking him for sex which kinda changes the audience view of her and big C relationship in the wrong way (idk if maybe she has casual quick sexual relations with him or other people but definitely not what's being implied here and so far hasn't been implied imo).
This same joke is used again with Tempest on ch ~71 except flipped, during the orb piercer backstory where her rescuer talks about her being flat chested which she thinks he meant her inverted chest and gets confused again (and embarrassed), he has to correct her that he meant that she just literally has a small chest. It's again a quick joke panel with the same character showing her misinterpreting/misusing and hearing words.
I think these jokes are based on Tempest being inexperienced and growing up in a cult so she may use the wrong language or misinterpret words socially. The only thing supporting she'd ask for a "quickie" is maybe the panel about the priest woman asking why she pleased herself (no context) and her helping reg put his hand away in a lewd way causally (imo supporting again that she's inexperienced and this translation is too sexual for the scene.)
Uh so yeah. Thanks for reading the rant. I hate when a mistranslation causes a character to be completely changed in the community's eyes. If I got any parts wrong or you have different ideas lmk below.
TLDR:This scene should be relocalized as "Hey, want to go for a quick round before we head out?" And be taken as a joke not Tempest literally asking for sex.
Hi. I have one copy of hotori and I'm unsure if A6 is better vs A1. I hear that A1 the best while others say def shred is rare and needed against bosses so it's better. I have her sig.
Besides that I also have pulled shinku and wanted a separate team for hotori. I did use hotori hathor charge but since shinku using that team I was going to do disorder hotori instead but was confused why teambuilders use fadia and not haniel here? My haniel has all 6 awakenings.
Basically my questions:
A6 or A1 for hotori?
Is [fadia, daff, sakiri, hotori] better than [sakiri, haniel, daff hotori]?
I feel like the double buffing with def shred would make hotori nuke on bosses than with fadia right?
Possible spoilers for true end of game in needy streamer overload and ep 3 in anime. If needed lmk I'll add tag.
More of an open yap session that I'm curious if anyone has anything to add on to.
After episode 3, especially in the anime subreddit, I see this topic being brought up more as a lot of people assume Ame slept with the bully and his friends(??) for her first time represented by the lollipop moving and some context of the imagery.
I just wanted a main post that would silence these discussions as it's a pretty uncomfortable topic that keeps being brought up as a fact and I'd rather it not become some sort of community "canon".
To start, I disagree with this assumption a lot ngl but mainly with how it's being spread as a fact that canonically happened and not as a theory or interpretation.
A lot of this episode hints at Ame being an unreliable narrator that may embellish some parts of her past that happened and I feel a lot of people ignore this part like. Like with the bullies making a guy do a niche "para para" dance that only a nerd would actually know, in his underwear in class. Or the bullies she talked to once coming to save her from the girls while she flips them off like it's a shoujo drama anime. It all feels a bit like it's made up imo. The episode ends with KAngel Literally saying "influencers will lie through their teeth and use tragedy to gain sympathy" and the multiple shots of spider/ web imagery. I think it represents the viewer being trapped in ame "tragic backstory" just like idols do to fans.
In the game she mentions being a middle school drop out and I feel the majority if not most of this backstory could just be either fake or simply that she was bullied slightly and dropped out, so she made this entire dramatic backstory up to make as an excuse for her dropping out and to not feel guilty.
Besides this one of the main things people said in support of this was the bloodied panty followed by the lollipop but I think it's simply instead representing her period which ties into the episode of her life growing up and outside factors like family abuse, bullying, etc all piling up and the lollipop is a weird representation of her sanity slipping into "KAngel" hence why it's all colorful KAngel colors in the background of the lollipop shors and not just the lollipop itself.
Or the lollipop could be more random imagery tbh which the anime series likes clearly.
Others mention the lollipop moving and its sound is a bit suggestive but at most it sounds like a piston not bed noises which maybe could be sus but again isn't for sure an analogy it's a reach at most and imo is meant to show her brain being shaken into her KAngel self that we see start manifesting at the end of the episode.
In the game not to mention after pressing the *** option she rants about it being her first time doing it with P chan like it's her first time in general. And if P chan isn't real like the true ending suggests then wouldn't it be possible that she's a virgin during the game's time which is around the anime time wise and obviously after episode 3.
Furthermore, slightly messed up but if Ame was consensually sleeping with the bullies and was obsessed with the feeling of being wanted wouldn't she have been less against her mothers idea of pimping her out. And if it was nonconsensual to protect the kid being bullied or for self protection wouldn't she be more disgusted or have any sort of reaction rather than smiling with them.
Idk I think her chastity is intentionally ambiguous at most and it's a personal interpretation whether she actually did it with the bullies or not if that episode is even an entirely truthful story. Either way it certainly shouldn't be stated like it's a known canon fact that she isn't a virgin especially with how abstract the series is and with how unreliable Ame is as a narrator and should instead be clarified as a theory/interpretation at best. Thoughts?
