Save the Date: Arc the Lad Nico Nico Live Broadcast!
For those wondering, I was able to again confirm the time for the Nico Nico livestream on Friday, Aug 3, as well as verfiy a few other things regarding it.
(Apologies for a bit of lateness, but I wanted to be sure I compiled everything I had properly into ONE post. Yes, it's rather long, but *please read until the end*. Thanks!🙂)
SIE Japan Studio's live broadcast covering Arc the Lad (along with the Siren series, and a few other guests) will be held:
-- Friday, Aug 3 at 19:30, Japan Time (in other words, that would be 7:30 PM for them). --
It is being streamed via their official account, found here:
SIE JAPAN Studio (Nico Nico)
The Nico Nico page for the show does adjust dates for your time zone and has a countdown for when to expect the channel to go live, which SIE Japan Studio announced would be 10 minutes before the actual program start. (I'm not wholly experienced with their service but I believe it does this if you're registered and following a channel, and it apparently knows your location from your profile data.)
However, as a reference I am supplying you with a very easy to use time zone converter tool found at the following link:
Time and Date.com - Time Zone Converter/Time Difference Calculator
To use this, you will FIRST be entering the date and time according to Japan Standard Time (you'll easily find it simply by typing "Japan" in the search), then adding the date and specific hour of the broadcast.
It will then ask for the location you want (try your closest major city, especially in the case of large countries that occupy several zones, and if you know your time zone already you can use that), and immediately give you the resulting date and time adjustments for your area, and make things easier for you.
If you can plan accordingly, then it would be wonderful if you could all join with a Nico Nico account to watch!😄
(You apparently do have the ability to re-watch a stream starting about a half hour to an hour later after the live show ended, so those of you who cannot make it, consider still dropping by later and checking it out!🙂)
Anyway, if you do not have a Nico Nico account yet, please let one of us know so we can walk you through it if necessary.
On a PC browser (I usually use Chrome) the instructions are available in English without need to translate, and it's overall pretty straightforward:

Lastly, I have been checking the JapanStudio_JP Twitter account again to see if they have finished taking submissions for comments on the program (they are apparently looking for people to discuss what they feel passionate about regarding the Arc series in the past, specifically Arc 1 and 2), but I see no notices that they are done taking in replies.
The message thread where they are taking these also continues to be pinned to the top of the Twitter account.
I’m wondering if perhaps there is still a shot at being considered if any of us can ready some comments within the next couple of hours?🤔
Below is the link to the thread, please consider answering if you can and let us know about it via Ask or DM!
