Hi! I really want to watch the Japanese version but I can only find the english dubbed online for the first batch of episodes. Do you know where I can find the first eps in Japanese?

Hey there! The link on the website is a bit outdated so here's a few links directly for the Onedrive folder:

Japanese - Raw

Japanese - Subbed

Do you have a YouTube channel or anything that shows off your mods or designs? Cuz I'd love to watch Dobutsu no Mori with mods and custom villagers and whatever other things you do.

I don't really do youtube. I barely know anything about video editing and I don't have a capture card so all I could do is short 10-30 sec videos that I could easily just post to tumblr instead

I would recommend K.K. Clue on youtube if you want AC mod videos though. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZBdaKw97n3P9qWeP6rs_7g

Such a fun night with friends! Thank you so much @magikarpballoons for planning such an amazing time for everyone! I had so much fun diving, fishing, bug catching, and snowflaking! I loved our cozy drying corner after our icy dives and playing duck, duck, goose with an actual duck ;) thank you also Kai for an amazing treasure hunt!

Pipis Room Dream Tours: Island #2

astral projected to @magikarpballoons’ island, pine vale! i was not dressed for the weather, but this cozy little spot was a nice place to hang out and warm up.

it has been a long time since i’ve been to an island with a simple layout and it really works with the overall vibe! i really liked this island a lot, partly bc i’ve never visited an island that’s in the winter season but mostly bc the entire layout and decoration scheme gave off a super chill, almost eerie (i mean this in a good way, i loved it!) vibe. the mushroom lamps scattered in between the cypress trees was an excellent touch.

it was also super refreshing to see a bunch of villagers i rarely see on other people’s islands; i got really excited about queenie. plus, i’m pretty sure the island tune is the snowdin town song from undertale, so this island gets a 10/10 in my book lol

if you want me to tour your island and post about it like this send me your dream address!

Would you like the dream address for a southern hemisphere island?

Your purchase of the game should have come with a code for a free week long trial of Nintendo online. You could ask around to see if some people would be willing to save some up for you and then when you start your trial, we can all flood in and give you as many as we can. This community is pretty nice. I would love to help you get more NMT and I’m sure others would. DM me if you wanna consider that. :)

ooh i forgot about the trial. i should use that, i’m drowning in duplicate diy recipies lmao and i can’t craft a single bench yet

i managed to find a villager in the end, but i’ll think about this the next time plot opens haha, thank you

So to me, it looks like the SoS: Trio of Towns seems to be the stronger of the two games announced at E3. Im curious to know what your opinion of them is?

I honestly didn’t want to get too involved in this (and Admin is always busy), but I guess I can kinda put my two cents in? Read more because it’s pretty long.

It’s no surprise that SoS is the stronger of the games. The Harvest Moon tag is FILLED with people’s reasons (and some going against their reasons.)

I won’t lie. I think the art style we’ve seen for Skytree Village looks cute. I was excited for it… until I realized their rehashing the villagers again. Now, this happens in games a lot. The first HM64 had a bunch of other games with the same cast (just different jobs.) Now, they made The Lost Valley and Seeds of Memories with the same cast and that’s fine! I just personally feel that a new cast would have been great.

I really like that you can do multiple things to your crops now such as watering and tilling the fields, but the animation for some actions is still slow. I played TLV and I did enjoy it, but the animations are extremely slow and waste time. I’m talking about picking up crops, watering them, using your tools. If you’ve played Magical Melody and remember how slow their animations were, then you get the idea. TLV was worse, though.

I’ve had my own distress over Natsume (over Luke’s reveal. WHO REVEALS A CHARACTER WITH “CONCEPT ART”? IT DIDN’T LOOK COMPLETE AT ALL. LOOK AT HIS HAIR! Especially when it’s art of a bachelor you had to PAY for.) That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy The Lost Valley. However, I’m not feeling Skytree Village. The art was very cute, though, and since I’m a plush hoard if they offer a nice plush for preorder, I’d get it and give it a try

 Cause that’s what I do. Different strokes for different folks.

As for Trio of Towns, of course people are going to look forward to it. It actually IS a continuation from the company that made the games for us. I like that we have three different places to go to (similar to ToTT) and I’m excited or that. I haven’t been in touch with the news as I should be (because I like to be surprised and flail when I have NO idea what I’m doing), but I like the cast! I look forward to what we can do in the game and all the cute animals that has been offered to us.

I also like the XSEED will be taking the localization. They did well with not only Story of Seasons, but Rune Factory 4. The company has allowed things in the games that Natsume would NEVER allow. Not only that, but XSEED LISTENS to us. I remember when they were discussing Mistel’s name and how they were thinking of changing it. Instead of going through with their decision, they listened to the fandom and Mistel’s name was kept. Plus, Marian’s character in general was kept, something that would have been removed it Natsume took the game.

Thats pretty much all I have to say about the situation. If you guys want to discuss it further, feel free to reblog this! I won’t be posting asks about my opinion. If you DO have asks to send, then do so at my personal.

Just remember this, though:

You are allowed to be excited for Skytree Village

You are allowed to be excited for Trio of Towns

You are allowed to be excited for both

You are allowed to dislike Skytree Village

You are allowed to dislike Trio of Towns

You are allowed to dislike both

Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for what you like. Even if it’s true that these new Harvest Moon games aren’t from Marvelous, you are allowed to enjoy them. You will see some negative things about Natsume and the games in the tag for some time and this is something that can’t be stopped. Fans have strong feelings about what Natsume is doing and they are allowed to. Just keep swimming and remember that it’s okay for you to like these games.

And I’m rambling so I’m leaving. Take care everyone!
