The scene of a girl with long, blonde hair and a boy with short, dark hair sitting on a grassy hill with a tree and waiting for the sunrise seems to be common in anime.

Colette Brunel, Llyod Irving, before sunrise from Tales of Symphonia
Wilhelm Schultz, Allison Whittington at sunrise from Allison & Lillia
Pacifica Casull, Shannon Casull at sunrise from Scrapped Princess

Of course, I haven’t seen that many shows so it might just be a coincidence.

KITCHEN, Merry C ristmas from Yumeiro Pâtissière

The inclusion of KITCHEN is curiously appropriate. It’s as if the creators of Yumeiro Pâtissière knew I would be watching this particular episode today. Truly a C ristmas miracle!

Speaking of miracles, I happened to notice the following:

Yousuke, Mariko from Yumeiro Pâtissière Yousuke, Mariko (2) from Yumeiro Pâtissière Yousuke, Mariko (3) from Yumeiro Pâtissière Yousuke, Mariko (4) from Yumeiro Pâtissière

Within a day or two, either Mariko grew, or Yousuke shrank! Maybe both!

Sweets spirits flitting about is one thing, but a “miracle” like this tends to strain my suspension of disbelief.

I finally managed to post most of the major content from my old site. Some of the links are still pointing to the old site, but I’ll work on that later. I’d rather get working on some of the stuff I had saved up over the years; it’s relatively old now, but oh well. I tended to get caught up in minutiae in lieu of putting up anything new. It reminds me of the saying, “The perfect is the enemy of the good.”

I’m going to try turning on comments again, but you have to register. Hopefully, this will keep the spam bots at bay.

To get the ball rolling, I noticed that when characters are being boastful, their noses tend to get long and pointy.

Fuwa Sho with a long, pointy nose from Skip Beat  Nagi with a long, pointy nose from Kannagi  Akagi Shigeru from Akagi

This is an interesting contrast to Pinocchio where the nose tends to only do this when one is lying. I included Akagi since he epitomizes being boastful, but his long, pointy nose is probably just a coincidence in this case.
