The Curious Case of Hyakumansan

The most dapper dan in Japan! 🎩 But is that enough to save his design? #twosecondstreet #yurukyara

In 2013, Mr. One Million, Hyakumansan, upset the residents of Ishikawa prefecture, whom he was supposed to represent, by being too ugly. Overdesigned. Not cute enough. Nearly a decade later, he’s still standing as the mascot of Ishikawa but what was all that hullabaloo about? Is he really as messy as they said he was? Or have tastes changed to be more in line with his design? (more…) “”

[catlover-multifandom]

(in a free mood again here we gooooo)

Free canon moments I think about a lot

Rin writing “fuck” in the elementary school yard

mecha salmon roe

the mr steal yo mako face (you know the one.)

Steve the cat existing

Haru and nagisa working at wcdonald’s or whatever it’s called in the freeverse

romio mentioning florida

haru makoto asahi and kisumi having a hangout in asahi’s apartment (at least I think it was his, it was in a df episode)

tomadoburiranchinburiranti!

makkou the dog

🎶 tabidachi no asa ni miageru sora ni 🎶

Haru and seijuro being friends

Haru’s mascot obsession (relatable im also obsessed with yuru kyara now)

Rei in the novelization

“Nagisa’s mermaid” video and then it got booed when they accidentally played baby videos of haru and makoto lol

Nagisa’s sister’s sketch friend that isn’t quite her boyfriend

Kaede coming back from the concept art grave in s3

the high of s3 in general because I remember counting down the days for it to come out and oh boyyyyyyy summer 2018 has such a special place in my heart. pure euphoria!!

Rin giving Sousuke a koala shirt

MATCHING FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS

everyone pointing out that Rin has cleavage

“no chips at the pool” **SHOTS FIRED**

Makoto’s mixer nightmare

Rei getting drunk on chocolate

the fact that makoto haru Nagisa and rei would have sleepovers together and haru gets so happy to be with them and he fell asleep early HES SO CUTE

Haru and asahi getting worried thinking makoto would fall for mlm scams in Tokyo

Haru’s profile picture being Iwatobi chan

the squid festival drama cd track and Rei’s puns from s1 that everyone ignored

Haru and Albert’s friendship happening because they just like the same fish and they don’t need words to eat mackerel together

Rin crying over the rat movie

shizuru’s existence in general. he’s so funny and silly and he looks like makoharu had a child

the mackerel body pillow that makoto gave haru for his birthday

continuing off the last one: the team thinking haru turned into a mackerel and nagisa telling makoto he has to kiss him to make him back to normal 💀

the scene in s1e1 where Nagisa kicks the can to scare makoto

Rei being uptight and serious and very professional man™ and then gradually loosening up and being less guarded and being his genuine silly smart self and having fun and you can see how much love he has for everyone as the show goes on… and the love and genuine affection he has for his friends keeps increasing even when you thought his heart was already the biggest it could get. it gets so much bigger. and the fact that he learned to swim and got to nationals for an individual event in 3 years. Rei I love you no one could ever make me dislike you you’re a beautiful butterfly

the general babygirlification of rin matsuoka as the series progresses

free mastering the “character that is a jerk at first but the second they’re forgiven/not a jerk you absolutely love them to pieces” archetype (rin, sousuke, hiyori!)

haru being an old man when it comes to technology: “sorry I haven’t looked at my phone in 2 weeks”

perfect body

haru almost dying like 10 times throughout the series

haru giving makoto his gold medal in that one artwork AAAAAAGGGHHHHWJFJEDJEKS

more of a fandom thing, but the whole makoto train scare back when fs1 came out

in df when ryuji is trying to teach haru and makoto translates it to haruspeak, they show you makoto smiling when haru turns around and half his face is cut off from the screen because he’s shorter than makoto lololol

Haru trying to escape the premises the second he sees kisumi

the scene of haru driving in Tokyo and makoto freaks out the entire time… guys I think they somehow got actual footage of me driving when my mom is in the passenger seat

the reigisa montage before their races at nationals in df. MY HEART

the entire show honestly… if there’s one thing you got from this post, it’s that I will never be free of free (I’m perfectly happy to keep it that way)

[catdemontraphouse]

I believe every city in every country in the world should have a yuru kyara

I am a hockey blog, but tbh this the best Gritty take I’ve seen. Cities should just have monsters, sports or no sports.

Yuru-Chara Grand Prix 2019: Voting instructions

Voting for the Yuru-chara Grand Prix 2019 (ゆるキャラグランプリ) opened on 1st August at 10:00 JST, and will continue until 25th October at 18:00 JST. Voting is open to anyone in the world.

You can vote once every day. After you vote, you’ll have to wait until midnight Japan time (UTC+9) the next day before you can vote again.

For online registration, you need an email address, but it appears you cannot use common free email services. They used to specifically mention Gmail and Yahoo Mail were not allowed, but these details seem to be missing from the new website.

The big difference is that this year the website has been redesigned, now with (some) English!

How to register

1. Go here: https://vote-yurugp.secureserv.jp/en/members

2. Click on “entry@vote.yurugp.jpへ空メールを送る” (highlighted above). This should open up a new message in your email client, with the recipient address, subject and body already filled in.

If the email link does not work, just send a blank email to: entry@vote.yurugp.jp (blank subject and message body)

3. You should get an email response pretty quickly. The email should look like below and contain a link - go to this.

4. You should be presented with a page headed “ID（メールアドレス）登録”:

The two fields are for your password and password confirmation. The password requirements are 4-12 alphanumeric characters (no symbols). Click the button underneath to continue.

5. You should get a confirmation that your account creation was complete.

You’re now registered!

You may see things around the site mentioning “docomo/スゴ”, “au”, and “SoftBank/AppPass” - these are Japanese mobile phone operators, so can be safely ignored (they have different ways of voting).

How to vote

Go here: https://www.yurugp.jp/en/

You can search either by prefecture, or by ranking (at the time of writing, rankings are not yet available and the order shown is unknown). When viewing rankings, this is near the top of the page:

The default view is “Area Ranking”, which is showing local mascots (gotōchi chara). “Company Ranking” will show corporate/other mascots, who are ranked separately.

You can vote from either of the above by clicking on one of the characters, where you will be presented with their profile page. Scroll down a bit and you should see this:

Click on it to vote. Note: On previous versions of the website, there were reCAPTCHA prompts around this stage. I haven’t encountered anything like that yet, but will update if I do.

A successful vote should result in this page:

The button is to log out, useful if multiple people are voting using the same computer.

If you get a page starting with “投票エラー” (voting error), it usually means you are trying to vote but have already voted that day - you must wait until tomorrow (midnight JST) before voting again.

Just wanted to write about New York City’s own costumed mascot, Birdie(who is a pigeon). He wants to encourage people here to keep their city clean, recycle, use the compost bins, ect. He really is an excellent mascot, I eagerly anticipate his appearance in my Instagram feed. Whenever I see this person in a bird costume I can’t help but swell with civic pride. I’d call him a yuru-kyara, except he’s… well… you know… American. However, Birdie is considered such in Japan, where footage aired on television of him meeting with Funyassyi(Of Funabashi, Chiba Prefecture)

[asileeon]

Hey, here’s Shimaneko. I think he’s one of my favorite yuru-kyara’s. I mean, look at him. Adorable. Anyways, sorry for not posting a lot, I’m a little lazy.
