Loli basically means someone who looks underage now rather than necessarily being underage.

This is anime.

Heck, I'll go so far as to say this is a toxic line of discussion and ask nicely to go back to discussing the anime.

How does one make those kinako sticks? I may be able to get my hands on the kinako powder next time I go to the Japanese market.

Karmic backlash. The universe wants you to spend less time saying the word 'baps.'

Seriously though, where the gently caress can I order this poo poo? Anything with that many preservatives in it should have no trouble surviving international shipping.

1. If anything I don't say baps enough.

2. Subscription sites, Japanese food sites, probably amazon

You see someone being so goddamned enthusiastic about a topic, after a while you start to think there might be something to it. I really should resent the fact it's a 22 minute ad, and yet here we are. The saving grace is that it's entertaining in its own right even if your brain isn't pliable consumerist mush like mine.

Most giant robot shows are technically 20-minute toy ads so we're not exactly breaking new ground here.

The new ground is that it is a huge candy ad but it's not being paid for (or controlled) by the candy companies. Progress!

Osomatsu should truly advertise some of the best lotion brands. This one is strawberry scented and extra-slimy!

I think it's funny that those are two of the very few examples of legit and straight product placement in Anime.

Japanese CR laws are quite weird.

I never even thought of CC advertising Pizza Hut or whatever the brand actually was. I just saw it as a witch getting way attached to one food since she probably doesn't eat much aside from once every few decades.

I'm getting less at starving and more that she just doesn't eat usually and then someone introduced her to a food and she got super attached to that one food. I feel it's kind of a regular occurrence but I can't recall any other examples of someone only eating one food ever.

Is that really a necessary distinction?

There are characters associated with specific foods all over the place in anime.

Blondie with inarizushi in majikoi
Main girl with mame daifuku in nagasarete airantou.
Shinobu with blood doughnuts in monogatari.

They all check the same box, as far as I'm concerned.

Just for me since I was trying to remember this specific thing and not just y'know, the Jerry and cheese from Tom & Jerry. I'm kinda pedantic about things some times. :v: I'm basically trying to remember some examples of a character only ever eating one food exclusively y'know?

Garfield and lasagna.
Homer and beer (specifically Duff).
