What’s ur fav Switch game?

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 just opened in US theaters !!

I CANNOT WAIT to get to see it!!!

One of my Birthday presents was this awesome audience pack, from the theaters in Japan->

The film’s commemorative book comes with a complete directory of the film’s cast and crew, animatix, merch catalog, and cast interviews!

There’s PAGES of merch !!

The flyer doubles as a poster, plus there’s a full sized poster inside the book, and a single page poster of the film’s official movie art->

Annnnd a copy of manga special edition vol 0.5->

WITH !!! Original sketches by Gege!!!

please get well soon, Gege

This is sooooo cool ❤ Now come on pay day, so I can go see the movie!!! Honestly, I just hope I can find somewhere showing subs

Ah If you want to be spiffy like the boys in Given ❤ Here’s the info ->

The necklaces they’re all wearing are sold on

Noitamina Apparel

BUT!! They already sold out of all of them except for Ritsuka’s!! …

They’re the same company that makes the licensed Given shoes ($220usd) with the character quotes. They’ve had the necklaces ($60usd) for months now; but it LOOKS like they sold out after the live stage cast were posting pics, wearing similar, custom guitar picks.

The Noitamina necklaces are actually a little studier looking, and come with natural gem stones; like the bracelets, which corresponds to the color coding for the characters ❤

The site offers international payment services and shipping; but there really isn’t a translate option. The quotes on the shoes though, do seem to come in English, by default.

If you do wanna grab any of the merch pictured above; it’s better to buy directly from them. Even without translations; it’s easy to determine which characters’ item is which, due to the color coding. If you buy from a 3rd party; you’re gonna pay A LOT more. IE the Given anime character pom pom ita bag charms, you see for like $80usd; if you buy them off the actual site, they’re $14usd->

Still, everything is insanely expensive but appears to be high quality, and they’re also the same company that makes the Given colognes anime colognes are just so funny to me…

They claim on their site; to work directly with Kizu Natsuki themselves, Shinshokan (Kizu’s publisher) and The Given Production Committee.

And on the the cologne descriptions…it says Kizu oversaw the design of each scent… ah hahaha!!

To all my MHA stanz…remember what it was like when people realized Bakugo would smell like caramel, because of his nitro glycerin esque sweat …well he’d actually smell like icing and charcoal, if you wanna get technical about it. Just sayin since his quirk is basically the same reaction as a nitrous funny car engine (it’s a dragster oh you didn’t know he’s like a race car?? I wrote the fic on it) Bath and Body Works makes a scent called Bon Fire Bash, that smells just like an NHRA track…but in a good way…if you’re interested

Ever wanted to know what Kizu thinks Akihiko would smell like???? Well now you will I decided to translate the descriptions

“Woodsy musk” and…“spy” ???

I’m guessing the note de tete is Byakudan, which is a long standing, popular sandalwood scent; worn by men in Japan for idk at least a thousand years It has the “woodsy musk” smell of “white wood”, but also a clean, cool herbal mid note (“spy”??) AKIHIKO SMELLS OF “SPY” ?

“Jasmine musk”

Haruki’s is actually really cool❣ The description literally refers to it as “genderless”!! Jasmine musk, or “jasumin” is a classic; nowadays worn more so by feminine presenting persons, but around the world, it’s considered a neutral scent. It’s a sunny, sweet note de tete; with mid notes reminiscent of those cool spring breezes, when you first start to notice the smell of flowers in the air. Kudos to Kizu for not making him smell like Patchouli I mean I love patchouli; but it shows a little more thought went into these, than just making him smell like a damn hippie!

Clean soap and greens" ❤

I’m thinking it’s an herbal smell??? Maybe lavender? Vetiver? Palm? Idk I could be way off, but it gave no other description.

“Cedron”

That’s a floral smelling, sweet tasting lemon. Ah haha!! Ritsuka’s a sour puss!!

Ue San so maaad!!!

“Lira, warm musk, and lily”

This one actually sounds amazing! Lira is a sweet amber scent; traditionally worn by women. I never thought of lily and Lira together, but it might be worth the $70 price tag. The site says it’s note de tete, is that of “a rainy night”, and that the mid notes are reminiscent of the smell of a violin…which does have a very unique smell due to rosin dust (I played one for years) Any ways!! “Lira” is like all the sexy, sweet smells put together into an oil:

Vanilla/Lavender/Anise/Bergamot /Creme de limon/Orange blossom /Blood orange/Jasmine/Sandalwood

Like just throw every aphrodisiac into a vial, and spray yourself into a pheromone frenzy…what was Kizu trying to get at!?
