The whole “Japanese vs. Western box art” thing is much less of a thing than it used to be, but every couple months I think about how much better the Japanese art for Raging Loop is than the Western art… but then I also think about how ultimately my decision to check this out was because of how much I liked this particular preview image:

i like mujina...

[flabbergastedpigeon]

I’m back!

I read all of Raging Loop in a week and I felt the obligation to create fan art for such an underappreciated game. It was a wild ride!

Uh, can someone please hurry up and translate the seven (yes, seven) Raging Loop novels that have been released in Japan? Pretty please??

Interest Call for Raging Loop Official Merch at the Pop Up Shop

From December 13th to December 22nd, 2024, there will be a Raging Loop pop up shop in Tokyo to celebrate its 9th anniversary! I happen to be going to Japan during this time, and will be buying merch for myself. Several people I know were interested in me purchasing extra merch for them, and given the sheer rarity of Raging Loop merch, I am more than willing to oblige.

To facilitate this, I have set up an "order form" of sorts (more of an interest form than anything) so I can figure out what people want. I don't need immediate payment or anything, but I will be requesting payment for the items you bought (+ shipping) once I do buy them for you. There are so many items that I'll put most of them below the cut, but I'll put the primary interest for most people above the cut. That is....

...the plushies! They're ¥‎4,800 per plush, ~$32 USD each at the time I'm writing this. No I don't know why they made Nosato and not Haru justice for my girl please

Rest of items/prices under the cut - in yen only, I can't be bothered to convert everything. (They're also in the order form, lol.) All of these are rough names since I have abysmal kanji knowledge to rely on Google Translate for a few of them. Full post contains spoilers, you have been warned!

"Japanese-Style Werewolf Card Game" (probably just werewolf...) - ¥‎3,000

Feast Photo Playmat (used for e.g. Magic the Gathering) - ¥‎4,000

Prayer to Shin'nai Music Box - ¥‎12,000

T shirts - ¥‎4,400 for the wolf shirts, ¥5,500 for the sheep shirt

Reversible Bomber Jacket - ¥‎33,000 (no, that is NOT a typo...)

Die-cut Sheep Cushion - ¥‎3,000

Kaori-san's Special Furikake - ¥‎1,980

Kiyonosuke's Darjeeling Tea - ¥‎1,800

Yasunaga's Financier Cookies (comes with a can badge) - ¥‎1,800

Haru's/Mocchi's Cookies (comes with a can badge) - ¥‎1,500

Various types of Acrylic Keychains - ¥880 each

Family Crest Can Badges - ¥550 each

Large Acrylic Standee of Haruaki & Chiemi - ¥2,400

Various Character Standees (original game art & special art created for the pop-up!) - ¥1,800 each

Full sets of the Character Standees with Special Background Pieces - ¥30,600 each

Character Fine Graphs (fancy art prints) - ¥16,500 each

"Store Shopper" (...probably just a bag, will likely be difficult to mail this if it's just a paper bag) - ¥550

Raging Loop (レイジングループ) - Kemco - PlayStation 4 - 2018

[fostersffff]

Started the third “main branch” of Raging Loop and on a metanarrative level I’m very curious how this is going to pan out. I have some strong hunches about how the actual plot is going to play out, but I also feel like if the writing is going to fall apart, this is where it’s gonna start.

Really rooting for them to stick the landing though, because goddamn has this been a fun ride so far.
