They Say Never Meet Your Heroes

Guys… what if a season two was secretly in production the entire time… haha

They Say Never Meet Your Heroes

They say never meet your heroes—because they might ruin the carefully curated pedestal you’ve put them on. Maybe they’ll shatter your illusions with a single offhand comment. Or, maybe—just maybe—they’ll offer you something so bafflingly tone-deaf that you’ll find yourself questioning every life choice that brought you to this moment. And maybe they’ll turn out to be alarmingly human, with quirks and flaws that make them real in ways you weren’t ready for. But then again, heroes have a funny way of surprising you, even when you think you’ve got them figured out. Whether that’s a good thing… well, that’s another story entirely.

Skating in Iizuka—A Yuri on Ice Pilgrimage

Over the weekend, I took a trip to Iizuka—not just for a bit of sightseeing, but for something much more exciting. As a huge fan of Yuri on Ice, I couldn’t pass up the chance to skate at the very rink featured in the anime! It was surreal stepping onto the ice, knowing this was the real-world inspiration for one of my favourite series. Naturally, I had to do a side-by-side comparison.

I took a screenshot from the anime and matched it with a photo I took myself—and the resemblance is uncanny! Seeing the similarities between the animated version and the real thing was amazing. It’s one thing to watch a show and appreciate the settings, but actually standing in the same spot where those scenes were based? It made me feel like I was stepping into the anime itself.

Interestingly, while the rink is in Iizuka, the castle shown in Yuri on Ice is actually Karatsu Castle in Saga. I visited Karatsu previously, so it was fascinating to realise that the anime had merged these two locations into one. It’s a reminder of how creatively anime blends reality with fiction, crafting a world that feels real while still taking artistic liberties.

Overall, it was such a fun experience—skating in a place with so much meaning to me, uncovering the real-world inspirations behind the anime, and geeking out over every little detail.

when things go south

That still doesn't change the fact that there are 49 million kangaroos in Australia and 3.5 million people in Uruguay. That means if kangaroos attacked Uruguay, each person would have to fight 14 kangaroos.
