This Child's Face Looks So Familiar

A spreadsheet sounds like a great idea, especially with how the DetCo timeline is so unreliable. And gosh, you certainly have a lot of content ahead of you (DetCo, the prime example of a story that never ends and just keeps going). Since you mentioned the movies and specials, have you watched any of those yet? (The first few movies are super enjoyable!) Localisation, I find, is hard to do properly, in general, it needs a lot of consideration and care to work. - DCMK 1/2

I have! So far I've seen two of the films, and I'm steadily heading towards the third one on my list. I've enjoyed both of the one's I've seen so far! Though I will say the building that exploded in the second one looked cool and I was sad to see it go.

I do think a major challenge with localisation (which localisation not necessarily a bad thing) is that a lot of times in especially older series it's not too uncommon for the differences between what is said and shown don't match up and is noticeable to even younger audiences. I have been considering watching the dub for detco, however, when I catch up, but I'm not 100% on that, and I, at this time have more reasons for watching it in Japanese than otherwise.

I certainly have a long road ahead of me catching up, but I'm both excited and determined to do so. Then again, some of my favourite series are from older things, like Astro Boy, for example (though I do not like the movie, and cannot recommend the movie, please not the movie), so I think it would not be a surprise if I made it through to catching up in DetCo. I will say both Conan and Atom deserve breaks cause they each go through so much.

I saw this cat on Twitter and I immediately thought it looked like an Osamu Tezuka character.

do u guys like my picture :)

I also thank you for your patience, I had to attend to an emergency and got some bad news, and I wasn't in the best shape. Sorry that I couldn't reply to you sooner. I also wanted to check with you: do you have any preferences or ideas for your gift above the ones you shared in the exchange form? I hope you have a lovely day, Moss! And of course, happy new year, may it bring you lots of joy, peace and success! - DCMK 3/3

No worries, I guess we both got bad news of similar genres it sounds...

Don't feel pressured to apologise, though I suppose I'm hypocritical here.

As for idea preferences, maybe something happy or silly would make sense to say, outside of the form.

Finally SOMETHING!

Oh, I see! I know them as American style pancakes! I only had them twice though: they were pretty delicious! And do you have a recipe you like for coffee jelly you can share? I would like to try them for myself, if possible, and you recommending a trusted recipe would be fantastic. (No rush though, any time is fine!) And I have a lot of comfort rewatch movies/shows, so I know the feeling. I hope it's as soothing an experience for you, as it is for me. Take care, dear Moss! - DCMK

It's interesting you say that cause American style from as far as I know is more wide and fluffy than a hotcake. As for coffee jelly, I haven't written down a recipe, so I'd recommend looking one up, but I use only gelatin, water, coffee, sugar, put it in the fridge, use whipped cream or similar for topping a few hours later. How much I use of each is dependent on the portion, but I sort of eyeball it from memory, which is why I recommend looking one up. I had a recipe bookmarked some time ago, but the website it was on doesn't exist anymore, hence my numberless memory.

so happy these waterfalls exist now. pretty...

more stardew valley, leah in love 🧡

That's okay, perhaps you can share more about Astro Boy when you feel up to it! I don't mind waiting, take your time. (On that note, I hope life treats you with kindness and your mood will improve and you'll have more energy soon!) AND GOSH YOUR MUG IS SO CUTE, I love how it uses 2 fonts and many colours; simple yet lovely! And yes please hydrate, it's important to hydrate. *takes a sip of water from water bottle* - DCMK 1/2

Honestly out of all my mugs, it's one of the few I bought new and wasn't gifted.
