I don't know what the reason for downvoting this post is. But mayhaps funneling a few fediverse comments on an official channel will at least put this place on the map, so to speak, for the Japanese language-first media we are fans of?

We are all Masters (ぬしっ子) now. That's going to be our fannames if you follow this Wise Wolf YouTuber.

I find it adorable Holo struggles to say all these modern terms that Koshimizu Ami would normally not even bat an eyelid at. Watching Holo become fluent in whatever it is we speak in this century is also canonical character development (probably).

There is a form for sending in commentary in regards to the show, and also a captioning corner where you can suggest what Holo would say in the designated photos.

Happy travels my fellow Masters.

The Wisewolf will eventually learn the ways of streaming in the 21st century.

It's the TOHO animation channel though, where they don't have comments turned on.

Until very recently, they even cut short music videos on their channel artificially.

Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.

What better way for Holo to join us in the Reiwa era, than to have her own VTuber model to hawk goods. Episode 1 of Holo the Wisewolf's YouTuber debut!

Some things I learnt from watching the promotional event (restricted to Japan it seems) at Anime Japan. Do correct me if it seems I misunderstood or misremembered some parts of the interview:

  • The production crew is making the distinction between the earlier adaptation and the remake by referring to them as 平成版 (Heisei-era version) or 令和版 (Reiwa-era version).

  • Koshimizu Ami mentions everyone from novel-only, Heisei-era, to now Reiwa-era enjoyers to find pleasure in the versions they like, without trying to compare which versions are superior.

  • Koshimizu Ami expresses that she feels the years in the industry, and just gaining more life experience itself, will allow her to portray a Holo with more maturity with just the right balance of childishness.

  • Nakahara Mai is replaying Norah with the idea that this is a different Norah from a different work.

 

How I found out the first episode was out was from the YouTube algorithm recommending me ClariS's ED for the show, Andante.

The algorithm knows me disturbingly well.

As an enjoyer of the original anime, which led to me getting the novels, and then subsequent purchases of some of the other works of Hasekura Isuna, I am delighted that we are revisiting this universe, and hopefully, finish the adaptation this round.

I like the changes made. I felt some of the early details in the novels were sufficiently fleshed out more. More importantly, I am happy with the reunification of Koshimizu Ami and Fukuyama Jun.

Happy travels everyone!

For real, that nostalgia hit slowly crept up on me as I realised what song Fuwamoco was covering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp2f8iIZrdY&t=7705s

 

I was so excited to see a new official cover of my favourite piece from Cowboy Bebop on Yoko Kanno's channel. I had the original on endless replay when I finally got the audio file as a teen weeb, back when we cherished our music files because it was so hard to get.

Rain. We are saved! MET really accurate with their prediction.

Reminded why I hate commuting to the office. Driving for over an hour just for a one-way trip back home, is absurd. Thank goodness I insist on 99% work from home.

The week's almost over. Hope you are holding up well there.

Remember if it doesn't work out, quitting is always an option.
