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

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.
Man I used to do SketchUp all the time in middle/high school, so nostalgic.
I watched a whole show (shikanoko) this season. So yea banger season, almost never happens lol.
It seems plausible that Drew left because of the church stuff, but it is not confirmed so conclusions must not be drawn on this part of drama. I am curious to hear from the man himself what made him go. Maybe he will make his own pen content in the future, I would check it out if he did. On the church connection, seems dumb to me that they would include such an unnecessary and damaging detail. America is a pretty wild place I guess. I don’t think European and Japanese companies would commit to a “what is going on in our personal lives” section of a business podcast.
She’s gonna have to mop the floor with Sakurako after this.
Interesting mix of western and eastern calligraphy in the title. They do connect strokes within characters and also between characters (especially in kana shodo), but those flourishes are definitely western.
I suck at ball sports, she’d probably beat my ass even though she is so small lol.
The best I can make of it is through deepl: it maps ぽやぽや to “carefree”, “carelessly” or “pampering”. “すぐ” precedes it meaning “immediately”, “at once”, “right away”. Taking in the context: it is done on paper and not digitally, and that there is some whiteout at the bottom. Also the hair colour goes outside the lines. All this combined makes me think that it means that the drawing was done “from a loose hand”, meaning with some pace and without excessive construction like a detailed sketch. I don’t think it is done completely without sketching though, as the top left strand of her right (our left) twintail there seems to be a sketchline the inked lines.
I have had mine (Kuretake No. 13) for over a year and it never dripped on me. The more I write the shorter the brush becomes and the tip loses its point a bit. However I can still get hairlines and when I don’t it’s usually a skill issue. After a year of daily writing the tip does split sometimes. You just have to reset its shape once in a while on the edge of your paper or on scrap paper.
Mine only does that the first day when I write after filling it.
I have come to the conclusion that if you can write it you can read it, but often not the other way around (seems to be in accord with the other comments here). So I learn how to write kanji, and with that comes the ability to read kanji. You can use a website/app where you draw on the screen (I use duolingo’s kanji section). I really like actually picking up a brush/brushpen(with actual bristles) and practicing on paper. However in that case personally I focus more on the handwriting and stroke order than on learning the meaning, but it still helps.
Lots of Akarins including sleepy Akari 🥰.
Our blond gremlin turned 13 yet again lol
Ooh very good! I like the minimalistic sea and the texture on her coat is beautiful. The watercolour texture and colours are so fitting for Ghibli. If I remember correctly they do use watercolours for some of their backgrounds.
It is possible that the previous owner flashed firmware that doesn’t bind that key to anything. So the first thing to try would be flashing firmware that does bind the key. If that doesn’t work, the switch might be the problem. You could check on the back of the pcb if the soldering looks any different from the other keys. Even if it doesn’t you could reflow the key. If that doesn’t work you can unsolder the key and pull it out, open it up to see if anything is messed up like the contact leaf. You could try a different switch in that spot. If you put in a fresh key that works in the old spot and it still doesn’t work it might be the pcb. Maybe you need to reflow or replace the diode. If that doesn’t work it might be the contact pads on the pcb for the switch or the diode. When unsoldered and with the solder removed you should see a metallic ring around where the switch pin goes. If that is (partially) missing it will be trouble. It could also be the ‘wire’ that is etched into the pcb that goes from the pad to the controller. Either fixing the pad or jumping the wire is a bit more advanced (and a pain in the ass). I don’t have experience with that. Hopefully the problem is earlier in the chain. Good luck!
Me realizing I will be gin-chan’s age not so far into the future (where did the time go):
Also don’t you dare be single if you are a day older than 25 in anime lol.
Yea I’m shure people will use markdown in a sensible way.
