...and here's where I'd put my attachment...IF I HAD ANY!

@magicalgirlsandcerulean / magicalgirlsandcerulean.tumblr.com

Just a blog about magical girls...and guys...by Chesarka, predominantly the Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu/Cute High Earth Defence Club series, but currently focussing on Fairy Ranmaru. Not spoiler free, although news posts have spoiler warnings. Not every single person/thing/topic in the post is tagged, for speedy reblogging.

A quick housekeeping update

  • I have managed to ask a person about how the Final Fantasy quote in ep. 12's blog post was officially translated. (I also realised I was wrong as heck about how I translated the quote without the extra context - that's what happens when you have a turnaround time of 4 hours...) You can go back and see it here.
  • I still have to go through the early Fairy Ranmaru blog posts and see if there was anything interesting I skipped. If this post is still pinned, that means I'm still in the middle of doing so...but it might take a while, since those blog posts are absolute monsters in terms of how much there is to read...

Update: It's been over 2 years since I began the Fairy Ranmaru blog post updating, but I now (as of 27th July 2023, my time) have a better use for them - as a way to demonstrate my translation prowess to people who want to hire me for my work. To this end, I am relocating the completed posts to the Portfolio page on the Animanga Spellbook.

  • Shibusan was also selling Boueibu merch in August, including Ikaho collab merch until the end of September. Details here.

  • September 17th was Nanao's birthday. If you wanted this cake + cupcake set + macaron set in time for the day, then it should have been preordered until September 10th. This came with a bonus badge with the same design. The cake (which comes in 2 sizes - size 4: diameter: 12 cm, height: 5 cm and size 5: diameter: 15 cm, height: 7 cm) is in chocolate/chocolate cream and sponge/whipped cream varieties, with strawberries or yellow peaches inside for both (customer's choice), and the design is printed on to a sheet. The ink has a chance of running if you aren't careful. There are also Atsushi (preorder deadline: September 28th), Taishi (preorder deadline: September 29th), Kyotaro (preorder deadline: November 21st), Io (preorder deadline: December 10th) and Yumoto (preorder deadline: January 19th) versions. The cupcakes have a diameter of 8.4 cm, a height of 6.5 cm and come in a set of 4 - the cream on the cupcakes has matcha (green), chestnut (yellow), strawberry (pink) and chocolate (brown) and you can choose between black tea and orange peel/chocolate chip flavours for the cupcakes themselves. The macarons have a diameter of 4.3 cm, a height of 2.3 cm and come in a set of 6 - they come in strawberry (red), pistachio (green), orange (yellow) and chocolate (brown) flavours.

  • There are also Christmas cakes + macarons (preorder deadline: December 17th if you want it by December 24th) and Valentine's Day cakes + macarons (deadline: presumably February 7th) which come with badges (2 possible designs, 1 can badge that matches the design of the cake you chose). The Christmas cakes only have strawberries, as opposed to the strawberries and yellow peaches of the Valentine's and birthday cakes. The cakes only come in size 5. The badges are 54 mm in diameter. There was also a 5% discount applied to preordered Christmas cakes between November 6th and November 12th 2023.

  • The Shibukawa collab finished in September 2023. The crepes and drinks sold well. The collab page doesn't exist anymore, but there is a message from Shibukawa City: "To all the fans, thank you very much for coming to Ikaho time and time again. Look forward to the day we can hold another collab✰."

  • On January 1st 2024, the Boueibu official Twitter (X) account wished everyone a year overflowing with love and happiness. Please remember the Boueibu series this year too.

(Update: In terms of fruit, the Christmas cakes only have strawberries, while the Valentine's Day cakes have the choice of strawberries or yellow peaches.)

Anonymous asked:

ilysm you are the best ever like i love boueibu and its so nice to see someone keeping it alive and still giving regular updates

*puts hand behind head* Thank you. To be honest, I’m just translating and/or otherwise relaying (e.g. understanding why there was a random tweet simply saying “Earth Defence Club”, piecing together why Shirai was being congratulated) stuff from the official Japanese twitter...that’s where the vast majority of my content comes from. I’m not sure everyone knows it, including several anons who’ve popped into my inbox to thank me for what I’ve done over the years, but that’s pretty much how I’ve operated since day 1 of magicalgirlsandcerulean.

(...To be fair, the Shirai thing I heard about through the Hypnosis Mic fandom.)
