The one in particular that you brought up is how much the girls don’t want to be too muscular, but rather just slim.

I haven’t seen this show but isn’t this just realistic? Most woman just don’t want to be ripped or bulky. The real danger is woman thinking they are definitely going to be all buff if they work out, and thus not working out or doing sports. And not doing any of that is not good for your health. Woman should know that gaining significant muscle mass is already hard for men, let alone woman, so they can work out safely without worrying too much. As long as you don’t hop on the juice and/or devote your life to the gym.

I mean, her role is to absorb damage for the party, muscles are kind of a prerequisite.

It’s a show with magic and stuff, so I don’t think that holds. Reasoning the other way around, if it would hold, then given her appearance Darkness shouldn’t have the physical ability that she indeed has.

Didn’t know about Veilid.

Interesting to hear. All my trousers have a single button but that’s it. When I get a job I’m gonna have to wear buttoned shirts probably. My clothing pet peeve is smooth textiles on my skin. I like texture so I do like denim. As far as I can tell adult men don’t wear overalls in urban areas where I live, and I don’t have one either. I used to have one when I was a kid though. I think it looks cute on kids and girls like on Chinatsu here.

I won’t get sick of you or anyone else that interacts with decency :) If I didn’t want people to interact with posts, each other and myself I wouldn’t have started these communities.

And for the overall, is it a physical discomfort or a mental one (e.g. not feeling covered up)? You have multiple comments about characters not looking comfortable in their clothes. You can always comment if something is bothering you.

Overalls are a staple comfy garment! And why stop commenting (assuming you like to comment)?

Chobits sound interesting, I’ll add it to my watch list.

I think the left most one is supposed to be the spaced out one.

A doujinshi is a self-published work by an amateur author. When it relates to an existing IP, it is a derivative work that is usually tolerated by the industry and IP/copyright holders. Many authors started out as doujinshi authors. I’m pretty sure Namori herself started out that way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doujinshi This would mean that usually an “official doujinshi” is not really a thing that makes sense. Confusingly, an official doujinshi seems to exist: https://mangadex.org/title/fdbf786d-6075-45d5-b211-2a58786392f9/yuri-yuri . Some of the volumes are done by Namori herself and others are done by other artists (how it usually goes).

A slight shyness or sense of discomfort can be seen as a form of moe in Japanese related media. Namori doesn’t seem to be afraid of using it. It is not to everyone’s taste. I enjoy it when it is slight like in this picture, but it can go way to far very quickly. For example, the famous Akari-Chinatsu scene in the anime I find very uncomfortable.

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.

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

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.

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.
