Approximate translation of a blog post from Yuko Goto, posted just before the first episode of Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb aired:
Right now, Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb is airing.
http://www.tbs.co.jp/anime/hidamari/
Did you notice it?
I'm playing Hiro.
I could come back to the Hidamari Apartments.

I'm so glad.

Even though I was told I might not be able work as usual this year, everyone waited until the last possible moment for me.

Two of my managers carried me to the studio.

All of the studio's staff contacting with me wore masks to prevent infection.

Everyone in the Hidamari cast told me, "Welcome back."

Ume-sensei was waiting at the studio, and she also said to me, "Welcome back."

When I first said "I'm home," I was crying.

I knew it, I always knew it,
it's really warm.

To everyone who supported this blog, I am back (*;_;*)
This is what I've wanted to say for a long time:
Thank you for waiting for me,
Thank you for praying for me,
Thank you to those who believed in me more than I believed in myself.

I wore my favorite one piece to the first day of recording.
The strength of my body and muscles still leaves a lot to be desired, but I have passion, excitement, and the love of those around me.

This is my strength for now (≧▽≦)

I want to like Intial D, I really do. Read some of the manga and really enjoyed it. It's just, those CG cars. I don't know.

Yea lol. But, that is only one small problem. I love it because it reminds me the old school anime. It has great character, story, and humor.

It's not random when it's on topic! There's an anime about the fascist utopia you envisioned! You mean you aren't excited or proud of that? :p

The premise sounds interesting, but the details of the implementation matter as far as that kind of idea goes.

The premise of the show sounds necessarily dramatized, but will inevitably be as inaccurate (in the details and logic of said details) as all the VR shows I bitch about, if not more so.

If anything, the ideas the show proffers align much closer with your conception of reality - i.e. those ideas create a dystopian nightmare under the guise of a 'facist utopia' - then my take, which is pretty much; Here's this issue that seems to be way under addressed in our society, lets think about possible solutions.

Basically I don't really wish to discuss the issue with you any further - your open admission that you want to 'destroy the idea' (paraphrased) means that you're not really amenable to any degree of concessions in the discussion (i.e. it didn't seem like you're even willing to concede that there was anything that needed to be done about the problem of psychopathy beyond what is already been done (very little)).

This isn't really the thread to go into an argumentative tangent about psychopathy and its possible treatments and social coping strategies either.

I just think it's poor form to 'poke' me over the issue knowing that I have little interest in discussing it with you; but maybe you don't know that, so I'll make it explicitly clear in this instance.

MAL says an autoimmune disease which then caused cardiac tamponade, a dangerous condition where fluid accumulates in the pericardium sac of the heart. Sounds pretty grim, but apparently she's okay for the time being.

You're not ready for high class romance.

Go back to your low tier waifu Asuna. Commoner.

I see. I'm really glad to hear that she's okay for now. It was definitely a really touching story.

What, exactly, are the usual BONES standards? Naru from Eureka Seven AO? The cast of Star Driver?
Click to expand...

Something that wouldn't fit the typical generic anime design, I always felt their characters had a fresher look than in your average show (or manga).
And I should have been more specific, I'm specifically talking about the way the faces are drawn, the eyes, the hair, etc.
If someone showed me the official artwork of the characters from Zetsuen no Tempest and said they were characters from a BONES show I would have a hard time believing them, which wouldn't be the case for any other BONES show.

And I wouldn't call the character designs of Kenichi Yoshida typical for anime, they have a certain uniqueness to them.

Yeah, Un-Go was another show (and the only other one I think) that did not seem very BONES-y to me at first (it actually did come to my mind while writing my previous post), but I would have a less of a problem believing it was a BONES show.

I would ask you why you are watching this crap, but I did the same a few months ago, so who am I to judge.

Show sucks though, probably the worst I ever watched. :(

I literally feel embarrassed watching this. See, I guess I should root for the "best" girl, but when you consider the MC is, quite frankly, a
massive pervert who'd rape anything that moves
I don't really want her to get with him for her sake.

Judging by the way they've been going I'd imagine that un-BONES-y might be the new BONES-y.

What do you have against MANkoto?

I feel the same way.

well not really...yet
even knowing nothing about it at all, it would still guess BONES over any other studio when looking at Un-Go art.

Tempest is the first show theyve ever done where I can say thats not the case, so I see where he is coming from.

You can never forget Yami. Yami has scarred itself deep into your soul. It is now a part of you.

Sekai is by far the best girl, but please...continue.
