small spoiler for this week because it's famous to us boccher fanatics

T POSE

Summary

Well, I’m clearly not a fanatic, because I don’t get it. The only T-pose joke I can think of comes somewhat later in the story.

lots of spoils, for belthazar eye's only

nijika t poses in the mango near the end of chapter 13, but I know what you’re referencing :slight_smile:

‘johnson, was it really important you made bocchi into a 3d mesh in blender?’

‘sir, watch this, i’m gonna make her go bowling’

‘johnson, you’re a genius’

Well, it sounds like there’s some interest in continuing this as a spin-off. Reckon if we’re doing it, I’d like to share the work of producing the vocab sheet around a bit - for volume 1, I asked ChristopherFritz to generate the list with his magical script, and then I proofed it myself, but I’m not entirely sure I want to keep asking him for lists, and proofing was still a fair amount of work. I considered trying to work the magical script myself, and while I’ve managed to get the half of the script working that OCRs the text, the half that generates the vocab sheet is beyond my ability to fumble through.

I’m still happy to keep researching references, either way. That’s the fun part. :slightly_smiling_face:

In any case, what kind of time frame were we considering?

When would we like to start volume two?
  • Straight into it!
  • Couple of weeks’ break
  • Several weeks’ break
  • Couple of months’ break

I think I’m gonna come back to the series later in the year, as I said it was a bit above what my level is so I cheated a fair bit.

Gonna build up some more confidence reading Pokémon and then come back.

I may steal the vocab sheets and stick them in an SRS though so I can prepare for it

So, we’ve got a perfect tie of the same four people voting for both “straight into it” and “wait a couple of weeks”. Perhaps the fairest way to settle this should be to dicuss what we plan to do for a couple more weeks, and then get straight into it. :slightly_smiling_face:

As for what I’m doing in the meantime, finally got around to playing Ace Attorney in JP, then in like 2 days Rift of the Necrodancer comes out and the demo has been super fun, it works with my DDR mat so I’m gonna be dancing my pants off

Since there haven’t been any messages for a week I’d just like to say the live action dorama of 今日から俺は is worth checking out, in the JP learning community there’s not as much discussion with doramas compared to anime/manga/games etc. and I don’t watch a lot of them either but this one’s pretty funny

All rocks and no Bocchi makes Wario a dull plumber (no pressure just making it so that people have something to read when they check in every now and then)

I was gonna post something today, actually. Almost tempted to not post now, and see what you plan to do when you come back to make a fourth post in a row. :stuck_out_tongue: It’s been a couple of weeks, are we ready for the “get straight into it” phase? :slightly_smiling_face:

Had any thoughts for how we might streamline the vocab sheet process, @awesometownrocks?

When we start again I’ll either post a picture of Bocchi in Wario Land, or Wario in Bocchi Land, to symbolize the climax of the insanity that is Bocchi limbo. I think the way the vocab sheet has been handled so far bit by bit is fine, but maybe some would prefer a different pace? I don’t mind doing 2 chapters a week but I kinda liked how the speed ramped up near the end
