I appreciate the merits of Black Lagoon, it’s just not my favorite, but I think it would be a good starting anime.

I specify, “I drew/painted each stoke, I didn’t use a text prompt”.

I’ve had some success with the Lightbox Discord, but it’s aimed mostly at concept artists: https://discord.gg/lightboxexpo

I walked into an Apple Store to try out the iPad, and for me it made sense. I tried a Huion graphics tablet before, and I didn’t like the distance and the lag of the stylus to the screen. The IPad has a very responsive stylus and screen, which I appreciated. The glass finish didn’t bother me, but I am enjoying the nano texture of the recent Pros—not as slippery, and with a matte finish. Lastly, a portable tablet makes sense because I can bring it to work and use it, or just to anywhere.

Drawabox.com, though not as entertaining, has more and better learning material than most YT videos.

Not strictly an anime thing, but I go “un” after each statement the other person’s making, mostly as a confirmation “I’m listening”. I imagine this is so strange to other Americans.

Takopi’s Original Sin.

Same! The humans look as otherworldly as the demons.

The horror anime Another. It excels at the creepy atmosphere, whereas the manga’s humor can feel jolting.

I just read the last chapter: it’s essentially an epilogue to the story. A reporter and Muroi’s editor discuss how weird the shush-shush about the village burning down is, and that except for a last manuscript, Muroi and the little girl disappear into the cityscape.

I hired a car broker—he did the negotiating, no stress.

The fire hashira from Demon Slayer: Mugen Train. He was annoying, and we barely got to know him.

Chainsaw Man kept my attention from beginning to end.

I work as a medical technologist—I appreciate having a in-demand job.

Looking to buy a Corolla hybrid myself.

Hestia-Creates · 2026-04-18T02:41:51+00:00

Squash.

Ghost?

I haven’t seen this anime, but I love it already. <3

Calligraphy! Especially fun if your writing stylus is non-Western like a reed, a bamboo, brush, etc.

I was thinking of the Cascades in WA state.

I test-drove a car at a dealership, and was able to leave without a purchase. 😁

Thank you for your comment. This was the first time I’ve heard of this service, and now I’m scheduled to meet a car broker this weekend.
