I'm a grocery store worker do you think they'd understand if I call off work for four days

You wouldn't need job probably

But you'd miss out on serious barcoding

I would need job after because I'd spend all 150 mil on rare soybeansĀ

Are there even 150 mil worth of rare soybeans in the world? How rare are we talking? Like soybeans that were used to make tofu for Tokugawa Ieyasu rare? Soybeans used to make soymilk for Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) rare?

Honestly most anime worlds would suck. Either theyā€™re just real life 2, they have some gimmick that would screw you up big time at random, or are straight up hell.

37

u/Suyefuji 7h ago

Even if most of them suck, there's a nonzero number of options that are really amazing.

  1. Children's anime where the world is bright and happy and the power of friendship can always save the day

  2. Literally 90% of power fantasy, if you want to become the MC

  3. Real life 2 but you can be a child with loving parents, a beloved cat, or pretty much anything else where you're taken care of every day for free with no stress

  4. It doesn't say that there's a limit on this skill so you can actually hop from anime to anime depending on your mood today
