Ah yea, I do like michishirube!

I don’t remember what happened exactly anymore when they weave in the main story but I remember it being quite touching. I also love the ending theme and its music video on YT. It definitely reveals things not revealed in the main series so definitely a must watch for fans indeed.

I almost only watch comfort anime… So all my favorite CGDCT and Iyashikei anime.

Kogepan. From 2001, ten very short episodes of about 3 minutes, 4 if you include the OP and ED. About a bread that is baked too long and is burned. Most other breads are pristine. A story about silly anthropomorphised breads but it’s quite human. It is surprisingly touching, especially the last episode. Some say it is an allegory for being old in society, the burned breads being old and the nice breads being young. Personally I think it can be interpreted in many ways, and you can easily swap being old for your own way in which you are burned. I’d classify it as an SOL/Iyashikei anime. I like how the quotes roll in with the writing behind them. You can watch it on youtube.

Me watching Gochiusa:

Really good question! That comes down to if na or no takes precedence. So either (平和な一日)のはじまり or 平和な(一日のはじまり). I have no clue to be honest. Without any argument for it I’m leaning towards the former one.

Apart from anime with traditionally sad scenes like Violet Evergarden or Gintama, I have the strange ability to cry about cute girls doing cute things slice of life anime 😅. Like Non Non Biyori, K-ON, Gochiusa. I really like the tender and soft moments. For example that scene where Chino-chan decides to lean against Cocoa-chan and Mocha-chan. It’s a bit sad, but mostly it is just so sweet and pure and tender.

To me one of the most precious effects an anime can have is when it makes me cry without the scene being sad. The queen of this has to be ARIA. Of course that one scene with Alice. But also just Alicia explaining why she doesn’t get angry to Alice. The iyashikei just hits so hard I start feeling that being alive is wonderful. Those are my favorite tears!

Ann 😭😭😭. Definitely my favorite episode. The letter to Gilbert did me in as well. When she looks at the camera I’m so done for…

Yes, I get what you mean. I have certainly seen it in the war/peace context, but I have also heard it in the casual “peaceful day” context before, albeit more rarely maybe? One example I could find is Nichijou ep 5 at 1:12; the voice-over says “Shinonome-ke wa kyou mo heiwa de atta”.

Very nice! All Kirara girls as well. Yunnochi the original. She’s just such an enigma that she influenced different universes around her.

The flat designs, the wafuku, those fricking title cards. I could go on. Upon seeing the poster, I decided to watch it without even knowing what it was about.

Had to look that up, vtubers? I guess vtubers are mostly drawn in a moe/chibi style indeed.

Hidamari Sketch, Nichijou, Sayonara Zetsubou sensei. And moe styles in general.

what are those 😭 🤣

I also like that her hair tie is colour matched with her dress.

Ayaya stands no chance I’m afraid!

I like what she’s wearing, cute and classy.

Flat and petite characters are often turned into characters with big shapes in fan art, but rarely the other way around… Not that there is anything wrong with pictures like this, the latter just bothers me a bit for some reason. For me, Miku is Japanese, petite and with a small chest. Original Miku is best Miku after all. Thank you for coming to my ted talk, I guess 🙃

Reminds of when Tippy had twintails in Gochiusa.
