I almost exclusively write my handwriting practice with my fountain pen. Then what is it for? Please don't ask me. Although sometimes I write a birthday card. Which always goes horrible wrong somehow. So 99% is practice, and the 1% real work is horrible despite that much practice 😭. The only other thing is my sketchbook. Which is an assault to the eyes. Sketching sounds like a short form activity but it takes me surprisingly long to do a simple drawing.

Haha, so cute Akari's odango coming through.

When you think about it, none of them were good friends except maybe with Kyon. All of them were send by their own special interest group to monitor Haruhi, so they are neither genuine friends with each other nor with Haruhi (keeping appropriate distance with your subject).

Gintama and City, hopefully 2025 is the return of good anime. Gintama and Nichijou are my only 10/10 anime so hopefully these new titles are really good.

without moe i would have yeeted myself off of building already lol

happy moe day

Imagine having an anime featuring Saki-chan (god bless her) but watching the dub instead (couldn't be me).

She probably has LINE instead.

Yea I'm sure people will use markdown in a sensible way.

I have been watching Sayonara Zetsubou sensei lately. Also Pani Poni Dash! is an interesting watch.

• Hidamari Sketch
• Lucky Star
• Non Non Biyori
• Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
• Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
• Tanaka kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

Hidamari Sketch is very underrated and is much less well known than it's contemporaries like Lucky Star, but it's basically the comfiest thing ever. Any CGDCT/SOL could work for this (Nichijou, Yuyushiki, Kiniro Mozaiku, K-ON!, ...) but I specifically chose shows with a slower tempo.

I don't know of a source explaining why he chose this artist name. It does seem to be his real name according to the japanese wikipedia article (本名: 新井 圭一), however the kanji do not dictate the use of ゐ over い. So it's most likely an artistic consideration (as does happen often with artist/stage names). He chose to use a hiragana version over the usual kanji version to begin with, which could also be done for style.

Always kinda interesting to hear them marrying outside the industry. Imagine being a random dude but your girlfriend is a celebrity, that's kinda crazy. Don't even know if it would be a good thing to be honest. Do you have to do extra effort to stay outside the public eye? And for the seiyuu, I don't think they would want to date a fan? How would you know when meeting someone that they don't know you already but keep silent about it? Seems like it has a few extra complexities compared to two nobodies or two celebs dating.
