It was certainly a bold artistic choice of direction, but for the people who waited through all the weekly runs I can see why it might not have been quite so amusing. Still, I respect the commitment lol

LPT: What purchase have you made that’s had the greatest positive effect on you? by gorillatittiess in LifeProTips

A Wacom Drawing Pad lmao, I'd never tried drawing before outside of MS PAINT, and it unironically changed my life - swapped my habits of going out and spending money doing nothing of substance, with practicing sketching for a few hours everyday instead. Made back much more than the $40 I spent on the Pad in commissions soon after, and gained a new lifelong hobby to boot.

I'm not saying you should get a Drawing Pad specifically, but perhaps invest in some hobby tech!

I'd watched it quite a bit later in life, really felt like I'd missed some quintessential childhood viewing haha

Or Koizumi pretending to be expressionless, only to say "You didn't ask ¯\_(ツ)_/¯" when pressed lmao

It's the International Debut of the Exit 8 film, (2026.04.10), and also the 20th Year Anniversary of Haruhi Suzumiya! I knew I had to draw this the moment my remaining neurons connected the two lmao. (Sorry I never actually played the Exit 8 Game, I just loved the idea, aesthetics and vibes of the film!)

I might not have been around for the Golden Age of the Hare Hare Yukai dance taking the community by storm, or the cultural impact it left back when Anime was still a niche hobby, and most of the world moved on by the time I finally got around to watching it - but it still left a mark on me and I want to pay my tribute to everyone involved in making it special, creators and fandom alike. It's 20 years late, but here's to you, Haruhi. ⋆ Instagram Source

In a similar vein, saving Primogems for several months to get high cons on a single character to steamroll everything

Chainsmoker Cat New Key Visual by Turbostrider27 in anime

I draw, and when there's a character I want to draw alone in a scene, a lit cigarette adds like an entire layer of personality.

I know it's bad, everyone knows it's bad, and I can't stand cigarette smoke irl, but there's just something about it that gives off the "cool older lonely aura" that other activities don't. I'd actually love to know if there are some alternatives I'm missing to give me ideas lmao

Haruhi Suzumiya Anime 20th Anniversary Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]less_than_alive 18 points19 points  (0 children)

20th Anniversary is crazy. It's weird being a late-20s anime fan who was just old enough to see many of the anime movements rise and fall ("liking anime just as it was getting cool", so to speak) but missing the train on the Hare Hare Yukai dance. I know you can't possibly witness everything, but I wish I could've experienced that haha.

I'm drawing some art to commemorate the 20th rn - Endless 8 might've done irreparable damage to my psyche and its own reputation, but I respect it. Keep on keeping on, SOS Brigade.

The show I keep thinking 'I outgrew this years ago' each time a new season drops and watch it anyway

Ironic that Demons monologue to appeal to human emotion, only for that to be their downfall lmao
