Arigatou, Ningen-san!

by Michelle Ma

Price (US): Name your own price

Included In: Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality

Genre: Visual Novel

Pitch: Walk through town finding and petting funny animals. A short, bilingual picture book.

My expectations: Looks super cute. I don't see a single written word in any of the screenshots, and its style is completely unlike any other visual novel I've reviewed so far. I'm feeling good about this.

Review:

If you have a very young child and an iPad, download Arigatou, Ningen-san! right away. It’s going to be a huge hit in your house. For those of us who aren’t churning through a stack of picture books every night, the appeal will be limited.

A bird named Tori-san (“tori” is Japanese for bird) lands on your house and explains that animals around town need love and attention, setting off a linear journey to find five animals across three screens.

A snake named Hebi-san (go ahead and guess the Japanese word for snake) is hiding behind a not-at-all-subtly rustling plant. The other four animals aren’t hiding at all, which feels like a missed opportunity.

Once an animal is found, it must be squashed and stretched, with animations that are guaranteed to send any toddler into paroxysms of giggles. And that’s all there is to it.

The two-finger controls are built for a touchscreen. On a PC, this is emulated by holding Ctrl while clicking. It works, but it’s inelegant. The writing is cute enough, but it’s not the star of the show. The music and sound effects are fitting, but again, they’re not spectacular. It’s all about funny, squishy animals.

+ Cuuuute. + Funny! + Perfect for tiny kids who are just starting to take an interest that flat, glowing thing you always have in your hand. + Maybe 5-10 minutes from start to finish.

– The animal-squishing scenes take a little too long for my liking. You squish and squish and squish, and at some point—I could never quite figure out the trigger—the animal says, "Cool, that's enough," and the scene ends. – Little variety. How about some more hide and seek? What if all the animals didn't have the exact same request? – Unintuitive mouse and keyboard controls. The game refers to two-finger touchscreen operations as "zoom and pinch"—wouldn't it make more sense to map these actions to the mouse wheel or the right mouse button? Take it easy on the toddlers. – All text is displayed in both English and Japanese at all times. I love that it's bilingual; I'm confused by the execution. As an English speaker who is trying to learn Japanese, it's too complex for me. Most text boxes contain multiple sentences, so I have a hard time comparing the two languages. A furigana option would be helpful, as early readers like myself will likely find the some of the kanji impenetrable. Since there's no recorded speech, I must assume everything's meant to be read by mommy or daddy. If said parent is already fluent in two languages—these specific languages—they're probably capable of translating the writing on their own, leaving me to wonder why all text is displayed in both English and Japanese at all times.

🧡🧡🧡🤍🤍 Bottom Line: Arigatou, Ningen-san is free, it's cute, and the picture book crowd will flip for its funny animal squishing. By the way, have to looked up "ningen" yet? That one will catch you off guard.

u ask me my favorite cdd character and i write so many essays about souma because i think his development is so important and quite relatable to an artist like me plus he is so very cute and so you’re like “oh so souma is your favorite character?” and i’m like “oh nah it’s hayate lol”

Not sure if the Japanese voice cast will carry over the "Linkish" noises the heroes will be making in the English version or there's a whole roster of actors to hunt down.As for what Japanese Nintendo's page for the game had to share here's some roles I was able to connect with the heroes due to things I personally watched to some degree of which gives a firm grasp of how they will sound in-game.

Hero 1,Nobunaga Shimazaki-Hayate Chii(Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzuu) and Madoka Takatori(Boy Maid)

Hero 2,Mutsumi Tamura-Ken Inomata(Anyamaru Tantei Kiruminzuu),Sayaka Kanamori(Eizouken),John the Armadillo(The Vampire Dies in No Time),Rei(Mewkledreamy),Kobayashi(Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid),Daruizen(Healin' Good Pretty Cure)

Hero 4,Akira Ishida-Xellos(Slayers)

Hero 5,Misaki Kuno-Tsugi(Mewkledreamy)

Hero 6,Kotono Mitsuishi-Usagi Tsukino(Sailor Moon)

My birth year is gaia, gingaman and whatever "Bomberman B-Daman Bakugaiden" is

Ok. Havent seen any of those. Should i?

i mean gingaman is really cute! wasn't a favorite of mine, but i also went in with unfair expectations due to it being kobayashi's first sentai + what my favorite season of PR is based on, so i found it a little underwhelming on first watch but i think i'd like it more if i rewatched it now. the way i watch and think about toku is so different to how i was in 2015 lol. very cozy show overall, i'd say. and once again, the hayate/mustache dad yaoi episode changed my life

i'll be honest gaia didn't click with me as much as it seems to have with other fans and i don't remember most of it, but it is notable for being a precursor to like every Heated Drama Main/Secondary Rivalry that toku would become enamored with for the next 20+ years. gaia and agul kissing with tongue, etc. etc., you're aware

two consecutive seasons of delights

クールドジ男子 Cool Doji Danshi

Cool doji danshi has finished airing this week, it was 6 months filled with adorableness~! Ichikura Hayate, Futami Shun, Shiki Souma, Mima Takayuki, Igarashi Motoharu, are all so cute! Their little daily clumsiness often makes me smiling 🥰 Their interactions, heartwarming friendship🫀✨ They also voiced by very nice voices that suit them well! I like all 5 cool doji danshi voices but three of my favorite voice actors are there (Uchiyama Kouki as Shun, Kobayashi Chiaki as Hayate, Furukawa Makoto as Motoharu) which made me more delighted when watching them~ I think I have more soft spot for Hayate and Motoharu (all 5 are so adorable), also Shiki Souta (Souma's aniki) 🫶 I really like their ending songs sung by their voice actors, especially the 2nd ending たいせつ.

In episode 24, that Shun and Souma 'accident' on the beach and when they took picture together with hanabi, were cute funny moments I replayed 笑 nice final episode 🥹. It has been an adorable little delight once in a week for 6 months, I'm going to miss them~🥺

Skylight: Chapter 6

1.4k words. Hawks and an OC (Not Romantic!) Fluff with some angst, Found family sort of. Content Warnings: Cursing, isolation, mentions of abuse, blood-letting, let me know if I missed any

Summary: The heroes prepare to extract Seijin.

A/N: So, I've been sneaking in a little detail over the past several chapters, and this is where it finally pays off.

The stakeout was approved quickly due to the evidence Hawks had collected. Well, quickly as stakeouts went. It still took two weeks.

He warned the team of sidekicks not to make any noise, that the man they were looking for had extremely sensitive hearing. The first group didn’t listen. The car they were waiting in rocked as the man pulled into the driveway, and he immediately pulled out and kept driving. The sidekicks didn’t even get the license plate.

They tried again a week later with better results. They had parked slightly closer and gotten a license plate and a photo of the man’s face before he’d fled, the shutter of the camera giving them away. Still, a breadcrumb trail was a trail.

Within hours of his sidekicks getting him the information, he had a name and a file. Kobayashi Hayate, listed as a member of whatever bogus company owned the house since its founding seventeen years prior. His record was pristine, his quirk enhanced his hearing enough to hear a butterfly’s wing beat. He had a privately owned residence, and no complaints from neighbors. The car was registered under his name. Bank records showed regular payments coming in from the company every two weeks, right around the time he would drain the kid.

He checked the company finances too, hoping for something traceable to whoever the client was, but there was nothing. A cash deposit made hours before the transfer for the same amount. Whoever the client was, Hawks wasn’t going to be able to find them. But it was shady to say the least, even without one of the company’s founding members being tied to selling blood, likely through a black market contact somewhere.

Coupled with the information he’d gotten about Seijin, their confinement, the bloodletting, it was more than enough to not only get a warrant for his arrest, but to get other heroes on board with a collaboration. Mirko was one of the first to sign on, along with Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Eraserhead, Nighteye’s work study student, Lemillion, and, of all people, Endeavor. He was probably just trying to boost his PR, but Keigo still felt honored, and more than a little giddy, that his favorite hero was teaming up with him on this as he started his presentation on what to do.

“Thank you for coming everyone. I’ll keep this as short as I can, since I’m sure you all have better places to be,” he started, glancing around the conference room to meet everyone’s eyes.

“This is Kobayashi Hayate, our target in the raid tomorrow. His quirk allows him to manipulate sound, increasing or decreasing it for up to five targets. He’s been holding a child in a home in the residential district in Fukuoka for an extended period. We don’t know precisely how long.

“The goal for tomorrow is to arrest Kobayashi for kidnapping, child abuse, and selling illegal substances, namely products of the human body. His pattern for approaching the house seems to be mostly random, so we’ll be waiting for him to arrive before we can do anything. Once he’s arrested, we can focus on the kid. Any questions so far?”

“Why not get the kid out of there before confronting Kobayashi? Wouldn’t it be safer if he isn’t able to use them as collateral?” Lemillion asked.

“Normally we would, but the kid isn’t going to leave. There’s a hole in the attic large enough for them to fit through and they have had multiple opportunities to escape over the months this investigation has been going on. Until they understand that Kobayashi is no longer a threat, they won’t leave willingly.”

“Then what’s the extraction plan?” Mirko asked.

“I’m going to drop into the room first. The kid hates noise, and you can bet that arresting Kobayashi is going to cause at least a stir. I’ll try and calm them down and mark areas on the floor that creak. No matter what, do not step on those areas. I’ll let you know when to bring Kobayashi up. From there, I should be able to convince the kid that he isn’t a threat and that it’s safe to leave. I want standby’s on the roof in case Kobayashi somehow gets out of hand.”

“You’re going to be the only one interacting with the kid?” This time from Eraserhead.

“Yes. I’ve built up some amount of rapport with them over the past seven months.”

“Why not have another hero with you to ensure they know they’re safe?”

“Because it won’t work. They don’t know what a hero is or does. They didn’t know what a quirk was until a few days ago. They won’t trust any random person that enters that attic. The only reason that I have to even suspect that I might be able to convince them to leave is that they know me.” Eraserhead nodded, and Hawks pulled files from his coat.

“If there’s nothing else, these should have relevant information collected that I didn’t go over, your position tomorrow, what to expect.”

“Hawks, sir?” It was Lemillion again, giving him a rather determined stare. “If you don’t mind me asking, what’s their name? You haven’t told us.” The whole room turned to Hawks as he took a breath.

“Seijin. Their name is Seijin.”

“You should’ve seen it, kid,” he said into the attic. “They all want to get you out of here too. You’re gonna be free come this time tomorrow, I promise.”

They were currently laying on a rafter above him. Ever since they’d found out what a quirk was, they kept asking to see cat videos. If they felt energetic, they’d morph a few parts of themselves, namely the tail and their hands. They were much quieter on cat feet, despite being nearly silent already, and they liked to jump around on the rafters even more. They’d run from box to rafter to rafter to floor to rafter again.

They let out the short, high pitched coo that he’d come to understand was their way of getting his attention. He supposed, to them, it was as close to a spoken name as they had for him. It was fair, since he’d given them a name too.

But they would need more than that. They’d need food and clothing and guidance. They’d need to go to a doctor to see if they could hear at all, get them hearing aids if they needed it. Would they even want them? They’d need a place to stay. He’d heard horror stories about people in the foster care system, and there was no way he would let the Commission take care of them after what they did to him.

He could always find someone. Probably another hero, one able to handle teaching the kid more sign language and their skittishness. One that knew how to keep quiet so they didn’t startle his kid too bad. It was hardly impossible, practically speaking.

But he wouldn’t see them again.

“Keigo, you are sad. What is wrong?”

“Not sad. Nervous.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know how to say it in sign. Sorry.” It was a half-truth, really. If he’d been able to just talk to his kid and have them understand, he might have still tried to get out of explaining it. How do you tell someone who’s been held captive so long that they’re about to be free? How could he convince them that it would be okay when they still squinted at the sunlight? How could he convince them to stay with him?

This wasn’t like any other rescue case he’d been on. He hadn’t been assigned this one, or just been passing by. He’d cared for this kid for months. He’d made sure they were warm in the winter, cared for them in the aftermath of their abuse, started learning sign language for them, lost who knew how many hours of sleep wondering and worrying about them, given them a name.

He couldn’t just walk away after all of that. He wanted- no, he needed to stay with his kid. Needed to provide for them, care for them, because no one else knew how to. No one else understood what his kid had been going through up here, he couldn’t trust anyone else with them.

Hang on. His kid? When had that happened?

…

Did it really matter?

He had plenty of extra room at his apartment, more than enough space for them. He’d be able to see them regularly, start introducing them to the world outside the attic. He could teach them to fly with their borrowed wings, what little he knew of cooking, how nice an actual bed felt after a long day. He could keep learning sign with them, help them unlearn all the fear they’d had ingrained into them, see the person they became outside of this dark, awful place.

Damn. It sounded nice. It sounded right.

It's time to get funky with a brand new AMV release, Dance Intermission 3! I'm sure fans of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas will recognize this song very quickly.

If you see this video at an anime convention, the version used there has 2 curse words removed. The 2 words aren't really strong, but I decided to be safe and remove them since some contests have more strict rules than others. This version uses the original unedited version of the song.
