  1. just get any shounen/seinen anime, you can’t go wrong there
  2. I don't know. I'm torn. Not about you streaming it, because I love every chance I get to go against the ISU, but my hypocrisy would still be very much there and my conscious would still be tainted
  3. He can step on me and I would say thank you, dammit.
  4. I don't think it will happen, but only Yuzu knows what's in his head. Who knows.
  5. Signs of Yuzu withdrawal is when you find a Pooh jar in your supermarket and immediately grab it even though you don't need it.
  6. It's a women's magazine, no? My feminist side is squirming... a lot.
  7. Yes and no. They have an anti-stalking Act but not very enforced from what I heard. Their definition of stalking is very lax, and just looking from afar is not considered as invading someone's privacy. By Japan's definition of stalking, this "magazine" (although they don't deserve to be called anything else but trash) doesn't fall into their criteria I think. However, I know that in the past they did cross the line, and their invading advances stopped. Maybe someone from Japan can confirm this. I dislike speaking about them as well, but they also need to be called out. If someone saw them near Yuzu, it has to be made known so matters can be taken into hands by whomever is responsible for these cases.
  8. It's a good article and obviously a lot of work has been put into it but it focuses mainly on the numbers instead of the whole package which is whether the scores are deserving or not. On the other hand, this might exactly be what the author was trying to do which is also good. The fact that fans can see a skater's errors but the judges somehow turn a blind eye to them is the main issue in my opinion and the lack of accountability creates tension and distrust. At the bottom of the article there is an invite to sign the petition. I've seen the list of signatures and people have been singing since September 2019. The fact that in over a year there have "only" been 10k people signing it, shows that a) the petition is not being circulated enough, b) people are not interested because they know it's fruitless or c) they just don't agree. ISU has made it clear they are turning a deaf ear to what fans say and no matter what we do, they just won't listen. The only way this can happen is if big news outlets call them out and make a scandal out of it. Not just figure skating media but the big shots such as CNN, BBC, The New York Times, etc. but this is also a pipeline dream because FS is nothing compared to the size of other sports (football, NFL, tennis, basketball, etc). Times like these I wish I had stuck to my fleeting desire when I was 18 of studying sports journalism. That way I could create hell right now and make ISU's life impossible.
  9. As far as I could tell no. Maybe there is someone on the Planet from that area who could say for sure but I googled it and all ice rinks seems to be working during Christmas season only. I just re-checked again and there seems to be one, but instead of having Manchester in its name it has Altrincham so maybe that's why I didn't think there was. Anyway. Yuzu. He's in hiding again. I've worn out the H&E video so many times that I think 25% of those 2m views are mine. I can even say I know every beat of the music piece as well as my favourite song.
  10. Completely off topic, no Yuzu and no FS related (maybe a little, at the end) but I'm telling everyone I come across, because... I'm that annoying. But yesterday, after being made redundant from my job back in November, I finally found a new opportunity. I was so worried, just like everyone else. The London job market is really tough right now because of how high unemployment rate is, so getting a job has been almost mission impossible for a lot of my ex-colleagues (which are 700+ by the way). I myself had to decide to look for something out of London, which means from mid-February I will be living in Manchester (and having to drive to Sheffield for the closest ice rink ). Also got my ego boosted with how badly the hiring manager wanted to hire me
  11. Because he believes himself to be an anime character
  12. Ah, to be that fly on the wall now on D-Day.
  13. I think there is. Satomi would need to contact the costume designer of The Matrix though
  14. I'm so sorry to hear this, @alwaysafan. For whatever it's worth, I do send you a massive, tight, virtual hug that I hope can provide some strength for you. Keep fighting! And I wish everyone else a wonderful 2021. It's been shit. Absolute shit (sorry for the language), and we all need to desperately see the light at the end of the tunnel (some more than others). Take care of yourself and your loved ones, keep on fighting, keep on seeing the beauty in this world despite the hardships and love yourselves
  15. Can we have this now for every one of his programs? ETA: Wooo, check the channel out. It has a couple more videos
  16. If he choses a version with better Spanish (Argentinian) pronunciation and a better female tango voice, I could consider it but... The pitch is 1 or 2 octaves too high and there is just no clear voice play which is, in my opinion, absolutely necessary to make it a tango Sorry, my Argentinian side needed to make its critical appearance here. I dunno, I just can't see Yuzu skating to a tango - any tango - and I can't really put my finger on why exactly that is. I liked Yuna Kim's interpretation but even then I missed the intricacies of the foot work and except for the music, it didn't really feel like I was watching someone dance tango. So maybe it's a general thing for me, where I'm unable to connect figure skating with tango. Switching to the spin invalidation now. What do you guys think it would take to make a ruckus, and I mean wreck actual havoc among ISU through fandom to protest against the their questionable ways. Obviously we can only work with SNS from where we are sitting. Maybe a campaign with hashtags and everything?
  17. I'm watching it Just got back in time from a quick run to the shop to buy chocolate
  18. So not even Max knows why the spin was completely invalidated. Those judges need to prepare a full report on their decision. I mean it.
  19. He looks like me when I lipsync in front of the mirror at home
  20. Isn't that based on the novel Mo Dao Zu SHi (Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation)? I watched the anime when it came out a couple of years ago and loved it.
  21. Sigh, I wanna pinch his cheeks
  22. There he was, for a second. and he is gone again
