…yay Maru for world class winge-ing…:laugh:…I’m glad it’s almost with you, that’s a really good feeling for you…:love:…(…maybe some of the US postal officials are TiBB members and saw your post, hmmmmmmm….)….

Thanks :love:



A supervisor woke up the person on the dock and got them to move it. Fantastic. I was thinking it might take a whole month. It wouldn't have been surprising, anyway. As long as it gets here before Christmas, I guess :laugh:

The state of Japanese Anime.

Hopefully it's my mailbox this time. (There's a legitimate reason for why it gets misplaced though)



I haven't watched in years (with what time?) but I go to a convention every year for Artist Alley. So I've no idea the current state of anime... I'm old enough to have downloaded new episodes subbed by volunteers through IRC channels full of Fserves... the current state of J-pop though... sigh...

Hub watched Spy x Family though and keeps trying to force a thumbdrive with it at me to watch it...

Edit: Rethinking, I do watch Cdrama, but it's an easier binge and sometimes mostly in longer clips. It's hard to follow anything with subtitles.
