I went and tracked down the specific image on danbooru since a query for the artist was linked instead, unusually, and I find the specific image links helpful. Here it is in case anyone else wants it too: https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/1911964

The artists other works are worth checking out as well though! I recognize a bunch from songs on YouTube that I encountered a few years ago.

It was marked sensitive on danbooru (which I’m not quite sure how to interpret) and there’s a panty peak. I thought it was probably fine, but I didn’t really want to get into arguments on my day off or get the instance in trouble if people were offended, so tagged it pre-emptively. (The sidebar recommends tagging if unsure.)

Thanks for trying. I tried jisho.org and translate.google.com before asking and struck out on both myself.

What does ぽやぽや mean?

Huh. I recognize this one. I didn’t know who the artist was, but I’ve apparently seen a bunch of their work before attached to various songs that YouTube auto-played for me a few years ago.

Thanks for linking this!

A few off the top of my head: Shirobako. Space Dandy. Samurai Champloo. Ghost in the Shell: SAC.

Mawaru Penguindrum

I read part of it, but didn’t finish it. It was pretty heavy on the language learning aspect with integrated lessons and quizzes. I learned enough of the version of Esperanto in the VN (Juliamo) that I could follow along as I was reading it, but it did not stick with me long term. I had to take a break for a couple weeks due to circumstances IRL and I found that I’d pretty much forgotten everything when I tried to come back to it.

Thanks!

Very cute, but I don’t understand the title. (Is that Ahahahahaha in Chinese, maybe?)

Hash tag: Kagamine Rin 10 Year Anniversary

No; I just thought it was probably a typo but wanted to make sure I’m not missing a pun or something.

Shouldn’t that be Seibaa (セイバー)?

After I finished watching the series, I discovered that there is a movie version of the story that condenses it down to <2 hours. I haven’t watched it, but that might be a more approachable way for modern viewers to digest the story.

I have seen both (a long time ago), and from what I remember the movie was REALLY different – like, almost unrecognizably different. I do not recommend substituting one for the other.

My old username from reddit and HN was already taken and I couldn’t think of anything else I wanted to be called so I just picked some random characters like this:

>>> import random
>>> ''.join([random.choice("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789") for x in range(5)])
'e0qdk'

I have that literally in my kbin profile, but it’s not on my reddthat one. (I think I tried to copy it there originally when I set up the account but ran into some issue with Lemmy’s UI – been long enough that I forget what exactly.)

Wait. The author is 藤本 and the main characters are named 藤野 and 京本? I can guess where 京 comes from. Is there additional significance to 野?

It was inevitable; Shrek’s popularity skyrocketed following his surprise cameo in Hunter x Hunter (2011).

I thought it might be Mugi at first for the blonde haired character, but この and me misremembering the date K-On came out threw me off I guess. Looking at it again, I think you’re right – and early 2009 would be spot on for an ad in Japan.

I haven’t seen Evangelion but looking through a list of characters the blue haired character there could be Rei.

Thanks!
