Anybody else posted on the yuletide lottery but did receive the free giveaways?
You mean the idol fan and stockings? Those are given automatically to everyone who has "Member" status when that thread appears, even if they don't post there, but only the truly lucky ones get the Tanbobox prize from the lotto and can only get it if they post. Or are you talking about getting a box even though you didn't win? In that case shhh just sell or shrine it quietly.
Yeah [spice-and-wolf.com] their official site confirmed it's a reboot. And it seems it's indeed coming out in April so I suppose they decided that the one skipped volume before was too much of a burden and it was better this way.
Also Hibike Euphonium 3 is coming out in April too the hell. Somehow missed all of that (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/faint.gif)

Tried to upload my css for darkmode but it seems css files are not allowed anymore. Suppose they were outlawed recently due to abuse. (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

But it's not wasted if you had fun, now you could have double the enjoyment. Unless of course you didn't like it to begin with.
Oh I mean to the forums as an attachment. Even attempting to click on any of the old ones posted around seem to say there's no such file so it makes me think we are under admin's protection of some sort.
I can finally watch and listen to YouTube videos in decent quality with my new PC. Full quality audio system will follow, but I'm not in any rush so it could be half a year before it's in. I guess it will depend on luck of the draw, because I don't feel like spending $2,000 ~ $10,000 on speakers. Whenever I can find some decent used ones that I like will probably be when I can properly listen to music on this setup.
Took much longer than I guessed but I finally got a couple sets of decent speakers. Testing them out and stuff will take a lot of my time in the coming months. I'm intentionally being vague on exactly what equipment I've got but:
Small Speakers -- about 20 years old, $400~$800 msrp, got for free -- sound quite good, but lost to my other speakers and won't be used
Very Big Speakers -- about 40 years old, $1000 ~ $2000 msrp, got almost free -- I'm ultra happy to have gotten these and am using now, but not guaranteed to be used long-term. Most impressive feat for a skinny person like me was being able to get them out of the store and into my house. Garr, I am strong!
Speaker technology doesn't get much better with time so if you know what you like, it's good to search for specific old or used speakers. Previously I had only bought new speakers, it just depended what fate threw my way. I almost bought quite a few other used or new moderately priced speakers in the $200 to $2000 range, but kept patient. I kept away from some speakers like ribbon line towers and Martin Logan electrostatics that I would once have considered ultimate and a great bargain.
Yet ironically, the equipment I've been using over the past two years turned out to be better than I expected, and my Very Big Speakers are in a serious battle and expected to lose to what I've been using:
Vintage Speakers -- about 50 years old, probably fairly cheap back then, have the classic design with 2" paper tweeters -- I poked my finger into all the paper cones as a baby but doesn't really affect sound quality
I always knew that these clunkers sounded pretty good, but somehow I never examined them carefully for all my life, and discovered that whoever put them in this house had them set incorrectly. A simple adjustment and suddenly they were amazing, real quality speakers. I can't justify using these forever though, so my speaker hunt will continue. I'm probably going to have to end up spending $2000+ on the next set, because now I know exactly what speaker brand and model I want, as it has to be something that will surely blow away both of these speakers. (I need to get the upper grade version of the 20 year old speakers that I use on my old media PC and old anime watching 4K TV).
I'm listening to a lot of songs, a few I haven't heard before, on my "new" speakers. There's two songs called Orange. This other Orange is actually a super good song, too. Should I watch this anime Your Lie in April? I probably need to wait until next Christmas to buy it during the next Aniplex blu-ray sale. There's even an anime called Orange, is it good? I regret not buying it for $10 on sale this past Christmas.
I learned it's a huge myth that this popular song called Lemon is from Violet Evergarden, it's not even anime song. And it isn't even a girl song. How dare everyone trick me. Are there any songs called Tangerine, Mikan, Yuzu, Lime, Grapefruit, or anything like that?

Oh so you're getting even more stuffs? So to your question this is merely a personal opinion on these and may end up being diametrically opposite of what you like but I think Shigatsu no Uso is a pretty fine anime, more on the drama/music side of things than anything else but it's ok. Orange on the other hand is more like a full shoujo and it may feel very quiet and slow at times, also very dramatic so it could be ok or an extremely frustrating watch. I know some people laughed or raged at one of the characters' decisions towards the ends so depending on who you ask it's either being in the trash or worthy of a watch.
Damn, being tricked into males when you were looking for girls sounds bad (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) . So for fruity songs, you got me curious and I started thinking a lot about those and what I could remember, sadly not many "pure" fruits as song names so here's some of the top of my head that do include fruits and other extra words that you may possibly know of and may not care of since they're not pure (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) :
The only 2 oranges I remember, one comes from Toradora but I assume it's the other one you're talking about. The other one is [files.catbox.moe] Orange Mystery, OP 2 for Kimagure Orange Road but I don't think it's fruity enough as far as lyrics go. Lime is Lime Tree by Nano.RIPE the ED of Saijaku Muhai no Bahamut For apples I remember 4 at least, the Spice and Wolf ED1 ([files.catbox.moe] Ringo Hiyori ~The Wolf Whistling Song), Shinsekai Yori ED (Wareta Ringo) and Absolute Duo ED2 ([files.catbox.moe] Apple Tea no Aji), OVA ED for To LoveRu ([files.catbox.moe] Apple Panic!). There's the legendary banana song from Kage Kara Mamoru [files.catbox.moe] Raspberry Heaven ED from Azumanga Daioh [files.catbox.moe] Baby Sweet Berry Love ED for Henneko [files.catbox.moe] Chouhatsu Cherry Heart OP2 of Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu There's a mention about sumomo and momo in the first OP of Sumomomo Momomo and forbidden papaya mentions in the final OP for Jungle wa Itsumo Hare Nochi Guu but don't know if those count since they're part of the lyrics and it strays too much from the initial fruit requirement. If those count though, this one from Idolm@ster Million Live! is all about fruits: [files.catbox.moe] fruity love
And that's all I can come up with. I remember a Rosario to Vampire song named Nagisa no Dekamelon but that one is less about fruits and more about tits so meh. In any case, even if these don't work out at all, thanks to your post I found a playlist to collect SG trophies to (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

It's a drama theme song. JP people love their morning dramas. A random number but I think the top JP chart has like 25% being theme songs from dramas? It's also the most viewed jpop song on youtube. The top, bar none. I hate yonezu kenshi tbh but well, that's a talk for another day.
I can never remember song names for some reason. Ok, I do remember, probably more than most people, but compared to the other stuff (source, artists, composers, chords, production, sometimes keys), song names are lower on the ranking for me. Tell me to pick a fruit song and I can only list Bad Apple. Lyrics are even lower, except for a few songs I know how to sing + some recent/popular songs, lyrics are the first thing to slip off my brain.
