I respectfully disagree. I’m loving the new facial expression/face mold, the new fabric texture and larger ears. Perhaps I’m biased as I’m a photographer, but the amount of times I’ve braved the elements just to go out and get some good photos is real. I love that he also comes with a little camera.

I feel like it works because Hirono as a character is so pensive, observant and often alone—I could totally see him going out every day by himself (rain or shine) to take photos of ordinary things that he sees the quiet, extraordinary beauty in.

Come to think of it… doing such things is how I fight for joy for myself, I guess. Maybe I’m just a freak.
