Yeah, if they don't exist yet, just create them and announce them here!

LiSA - homura / THE FIRST TAKE in c/japanesemusic@feddit.de
[–] awdsns@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

An amazing performance by LiSA, she just puts her entire heart and soul into her singing. So much that she was overwhelmed by her feelings at the end.

This authenticness is why I like The First Take. But in general it's not found only there, but a quality that I love about a lot of Japanese performers: The impression that they're not just performing a song, but putting their entire being into it.

When I see Nijika I feel Nijika.

Mahou Shoujo Magical Destroyers - Episode 10 discussion in c/anime@lemmy.ml
[–] awdsns@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This show always keeps me wondering if it has some deeper message or if it's just nonsense. I'm starting to believe that it's nonsense, but the nonsense is the message. Like it's a hommage to anime that may have bad writing full of holes and tropes, and is loved despite that. The badness is part of the experience so to speak.

So such plot inconsistencies (like also Blue's and Pink's vials with the drug being intact again despite them already opening it in the previous episode) may just be on purpose.

The Nijika Pledge (Full Version) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Since Nijika is the paragon of human virtue without equal past or present, she is most resplendent in love, tributes and accolades. Waking or sleeping, I must not forget Nijika’s great boon and in order to return her favour by day and by night, I should only think of fulfilling my loyalty.

Who is Nijika?

For the blind, she is their vision. For the deaf, she is their music. For the mute, she is their voice. For the anosmiac, she is their aroma. For the numb, she is their feeling. For the atrophied, she is their muscle.

For the starved, she is their sustenance. For the thirsty, she is their water. For the exhausted, she is their energy.

For the depressed, she is their happiness. For the disillusioned, she is their hope. For the pessimistic, she is their optimism.

For the disadvantaged, she is their champion. For the marginalised, she is their justice. For the oppressed, she is their salvation.

For the righteous, she is their symbol. For the enlightened, she is their muse. For the erudite, she is their education.

If Nijika speaks, I listen. If Nijika questions, I answer. If Nijika orders, I obey.

If Nijika opines, I agree. If Nijika fears, I assure. If Nijika hopes, I dream.

If Nijika is happy, I am jubilant. If Nijika is angry, I am apoplectic. If Nijika is sad, I am disconsolate.

Nijika is my ideal, Nijika is my romance, Nijika is my passion.

Nijika is my strength, Nijika is my compass, Nijika is my destination.

Nijika is my language, Nijika is my culture, Nijika is my religion.

Nijika is my ocean, Nijika is my mountain, Nijika is my sky, Nijika is my air, Nijika is my sun, Nijika is my moon, Nijika is my world.

Nijika is history, Nijika is present, Nijika is future.

If Nijika has a million fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has a thousand fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has a hundred fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has ten fans, I am one of them. If Nijika has only one fan, that is me. If Nijika has no fans, I no longer exist.

If the whole universe is for Nijika, then I am for the whole universe. If the whole universe is against Nijika, then I am against the whole universe.

I will love, cherish, and protect Nijika until my very last breath; my successors will love, cherish and protect Nijika until their very last breath.

Great! But that's some weird UX 😄

What happens if you unselect all languages in your profile? That's my setting and I can see lots of posts.

I'm seeing lots of posts when following your link, so maybe whatever the problem was resolved itself?

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury Season 2 - Episode 9 discussion in c/anime@lemmy.ml

Good thing that Petra survived! Although she's really badly hurt. That's probably the main reason why Lauda is so enraged at the end, although the target of his anger seems misdirected.

Quiet Zero coming online and Eri using it to just casually obliterate an entire fleet was chilling. Girl seems to have no reservations about being the instrument of her mother's revenge. I'm pretty worried about the confrontation between her and Suletta that they're setting up.

Poor Miorine though, she's just wracked with guilt.

Hi! Thanks for setting up this instance! I've also been advising newcomers to sign up here since you seem to have the resources for it.

However, I have been seeing some weird behavior in some federated posts: vote discrepancies and also comments not showing up.

E.g. compare
https://feddit.de/post/764358 with
https://sh.itjust.works/post/9023 (same post federated here)

All votes and comments are missing. Now I don't expect Lemmy to be 100% bug-free of course, but this seems serious. Could you please investigate this?
