I have never seen a decal yet that didn’t look cheap or gaudy. That’s why I like to customize my license plate. It has to be there anyway, so I might as well sneak a reference in there.
But you’re right. In my current situation, I don’t have many options.

MY-11E
I love that!

Bad Omen. I’m planning on driving it longer than 73 seconds.
- Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number 1 day ago:
Not especially. I watch mostly SoL and fantasy and there isn’t much in those genres that I could use. Everything that I’m especially fond of I’ve already tested. My favorite ship is the Swordfish II for example, but that doesn’t fit the pattern. :(
- Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number 1 day ago:
Nah man! The MC-75 is a trap. ;)
HK-47 and IG-11 were in my initial search. I didn’t search for the Nebulon B, but who wants to be in a medial ship. Seems almost as bad an omen as the Mon Cal Corvette.
So far I think I’ll stay with the VF-25 from Macross and blast Diamond Crevasse on full blast as the first song. I’ll have to look up a replica of Sheryl’s earring to have it dangling from the rearview mirror. Just to keep in theme.

That also gave me the idea to check C-64 as that was my fist own computer, but that was probably to common well. Especially with he single letter.
- Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number 1 day ago:
EV-2 and EU-2 are taken. There can’t be a leading 0 and the single digit combinations are usually all taken since forever.
- Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number 1 day ago:
Sadly no leading zeros. I’ll update the post with that information. Thank you.
- Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number 1 day ago:
RX-78 and RX-93 are taken. Would have been an iconic number though, so I’m not surprised.
Only one or two letters in the middle sadly. And there can be no leading zero in the numbers. My car’s red so having Asuka’s EVA-02 would be a dream if it were possible.
Outside of mecha designations, its going to be pretty hard to get a reference with such little character and number count.
Don’t tell me. I’m searching for 2 weeks now for something my anime addled brain can accept and that isn’t taken. I wasn’t kidding when I said that the hardest part if finding a free license plate combination. I didn’t spent as much time on selecting the car I want.
- Comment on Calling all Otaku! Help me find a License Plate Number 1 day ago:
Thanks for the suggestion! PC-98 isn’t available anymore. I assume every IT company in the county has PC 1-99 covered ;). Same goes for IT. I tried IT-65 for the Incom T-65 X-Wing but no such luck.
Also just out of curiosity, where in the world has four digit license plates?
In Germany we have a maximum of 8 numbers and letters. But due to a series of circumstances I would just have XX-## available. The first part of our license plates is an acronym of the city you live in. And I have the misfortune to live in one that has 3 letters on the license plate instead of the usual one or two. So that takes away from the remaining space already. Then there is the E at the end for all Electric Vehicles; necessary in Europe so first responders can take the proper actions for EVs even if they don’t know the specific model and make of the car. It’s a good rule but it takes away another space from the maximum 8. So what I’m left with are up to two letters followed by two digits. To make up for it they introduced different city acronyms of the surrounding smaller towns, but they’re all 3 letters as well and I don’t want the one from another town anyway, even though they have a lot more combinations available.

Is it me, or was the score during the magic pact scene was way too epic for such cheesy lines?
- Comment on [Episode] Touring After the Apocalypse • Shuumatsu Touring - Episode 3 discussion 1 week ago:
You are correct. I’ve even added it to the list in last week’s post. I just have the memory of a gold fish and completely forgot.

Today we add rising sea level and more mention of radiation to the ApoDex.
Her vision was clearly a dream this time but now we got the question on where the knowledge comes from in those dreams.

In the EN light novel his obsession with dragons felt more like that of a pervert to me. As if he couldn’t wait to be alone with the dragon corpse to fuck it. In the anime he comes across more like an innocent fanboy who meets his idol. I assume that that was how it was supposed to be, but the English translation isn’t very good. His competency never gets questioned in both.
Has someone here read the manga? How is he depicted there?

I think this will make my AOTS. (Not saying that this is a masterpiece or anything but this season is especially weak for my taste)

What the hell is this skill world eyes?
Let me source you my dude
But time was of the essence; she could wake up at any minute, so I calmed my mind and activated World Eyes. “What the?!” LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Slightly weaker than surrounding walls. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. LABYRINTH WALL (Lv. 60): Extremely hard. Cannot be broken. All at once, an entire encyclopedia’s worth of information flooded my mind. I fell to my knees, clutching my head in my hands. Using the skill for even a split second had given me a headache and made me feel like I was about to throw up. “Huff…huff…!” When the pain finally subsided and I could open my eyes again, stat pages were floating above everything around me. World Eyes apparently gave you access to an infinite supply of information about the world around you, and while much of it looked exactly the same, there were interesting bits of intel to glean. For example, a single spot in the wall was soft enough to break through, despite looking identical to all the rest. I deactivated World Eyes and collapsed in a heap on the floor. I’d been right to assume Extra Skills weren’t the sort of things you could go around using willy-nilly. I was used to pain after practicing with the commander, but if one my classmates were to try using World Eyes, I was pretty sure they would faint from shock. It had only lasted a second, yet it felt like I’d seen something I wasn’t supposed to… I assumed the skill was meant for more practical applications, like viewing another person’s stats, but I could probably see much more than that—maybe even into the future.

I’m happy they gave Elrand a likable voice and animation. In the light novels he comes off as utterly unlikable and that always felt wrong somehow. In the anime he has a completely different feel and I think it’s a good change. Maybe that’s how he is in the JP source as well and it got lost in translation.

It’s the Pokemon of world ending events.
- Comment on [Episode] Touring After the Apocalypse • Shuumatsu Touring - Episode 2 discussion 2 weeks ago:
So, I am wondering if Youko isn’t more or less replaying somebody else’s memories when she has these visions of a pre-apocalypse world.
That’s a good point. My current working theory is that the “sister” character is a teacher AI from the shelter MC grew up in. Maybe based on a real-world person like the robot in this episode. The memories/flashbacks are from some sort of future VR learning course. She is always drawn with some sort of digital fringe in those scenes.
Either way, it’s enough of a mystery hook to keep me watching.
- Comment on "Witch Hat Atelier" Key Visual 2 weeks ago:
Same studio that has only Zom 100. The animation in the first episodes that I’ve seen were okay - not amazing in my opinion and I cannot say if the adaptation was good or bad since I don’t know the source material. It’s wish the adaptation would have gone to an established studio with a great track record. That doesn’t mean that established studios cannot fuck adaptations up, but I think the chances of them fumbling are lower.
- Comment on "Witch Hat Atelier" Key Visual 2 weeks ago:
I hope so much that they don’t fuck this up. This deserves a high quality adaptation.

We got some more apocalyptic events:

Another comic book villain who’s cruel just to show off how evil(™) OWEL is. This is a drop for me.

Okay, first turn off is the anti-social edge lord MC. Then there is the way he’s surprisingly perceptive towards the ulterior motives of the king and his group, but seems to immediately trust the blond knight blindly. Maybe the anime skipped something here in his internal reasoning, but this stuck out to me.

not sure about the LN which I’ve not read
So far, this is true to what I remember, though I actively try to forget as much as I can about it.
