That was… sad

Anime I expected to provide this season’s bawl fest: Anything but the cute iyashikei show featuring anthropomorphic cats and dogs

Anime that ended up providing this season’s bawl fest: The cute iyashikei show featuring anthropomorphic cats and dogs

I also learned a couple of additional things:

a) Uchi Tama is a franchise that has existed since the early Eighties b) the current Noitamina show is a spin-off of a 2016 series of childrens’ shorts in which the animals did not have anthropomorphic forms c) the episode I’m referring to (ep. 8 “Matsuribayashi”) is a remake of one of these shorts d) in the original short, the ending is actually even sadder than in the 2020 version?!

Japanese kids are tough, man.

My face hurts from crying.

My dumb contribution to International Womens’ Day

A day late (that’s what happens when your Sunday night mostly consists of attending two three-hour Twitch streams and being a mod on one of them) but how about a sweet Japanese gamer grandma?

And yep, she recently tuned ninety.

She smashes those gamer stereotypes in so many ways while being adorable. Keep beatin’ those enemies, gran!

Edit: According to Kotaku, her name is Hamako Mori and she’s been playing games for almost as long as I exist nearly forty years. Wow!

Surprise delivery

Look what I got in the mail today!

I forgot my Patreon pledge to SCP Archive* includes monthly postcards. I’ve been subscribed to them for a bit but I assume it takes these postcards quite a while to get here.

* SCP Archives is a podcast that creates super professonally done audio dramas of SCP. If you still don’t know what SCP is, Wikipedia is your friend.

SCP is one of my favourite things. It combines Sci-Fi, horror, language and many other awesome aspects. I love it so much, I actually walk around with an SCP badge on my backpack so supporting a related project makes a lot of sense to me 😉
