Renge from Non Non Biyori and Matsuri from Ichigo Mashimaro.

I’m finishing up some bits and bobs in Metroid Prime 4 before committing to the point of no return.

Character Visuals:

The only song of note for me currently is “Let’s Just Crash” the second OP of Gachiakuta. Everything else in the shows I’m watching is so generic that I’m honestly unable to match a song to a show if I hear it.

That’s my 11/10 anime, but I find the atmosphere of the show more oppressive than comfy. Though I can’t deny that Old Home has a certain charm to it.

• Strawberry Marshmallow
• Non Non Biyori
• Sweetness and Lightning
• Mitsuboshi Colors
• Flying Witch

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!

edit: Damn it!

I suppose “MY” plates will be popular in general.

Bad Omen. I’m planning on driving it longer than 73 seconds.

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. :(

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.

I-386 and I-486 would be free. But I don’t have any particular fond memories for those other than having owned them.

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.

Sadly no leading zeros. I’ll update the post with that information. Thank you.

RX-78 and RX-93 are taken. Would have been an iconic number though, so I’m not surprised. And I never watched Patlabor but that one is taken as well.

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.

Thanks for the suggestions!

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 unused combinations available.

Is it me, or was the score during the magic pact scene was way too epic for such cheesy lines?

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.

On a technical note I wonder hoe that driving scene was done. A videoclip going through an AI filter? Looked really good but way to detailed and realistic for a TV production.

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?
