Art is a wonderful thing, as the saying goes “A picture is worth a thousand words.” So how many words do you get from an anime show about art? Whatever it is I bet it’s more than a thousands, we’ll see as I talk about it lol. For those of you who wish, count how many words generated in this post and we will see if it beats 1000. For I will talk about Hidamari Sketch, a slice of life anime thrown together with comedy, chibi, and a bit of cuteness that is not overbearing. I had somehow missed this anime, I missed it by a long shot too lol, as the final show actually aired. So for those of you who don’t watch animes until they finish showing every episode, give this a look and it might be one that you enjoy watching.

Must resist, resistance going down….gahhhhhhh (black out). (Awake to the ARIA neko’s in front) Kawaii ^^
I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there tends to be lots of cats (Neko in Japanese) in Japanese anime. These cats usually aren’t the main focus but they just seem to fit into the anime and usually comedic when they show up. They just bring in that charm that usually results in cuteness we just can’t resist. Some even consider the cats to be the reason that they continue watching certain animes, which is quite an amazing feat considering that they aren’t even the main characters. We will take a look at some of these cats and their amazing power to draw people in.

“WOOT” ^^, what an amazing word that is lol. This is not officially the word of the year but it is for Merriam-Webster online as it was the most frequently looked up word in their database. For those of you who play games with friends, played online, or have gaming friends then you probably know what this word means, I do from all the online gaming and the game battles with my friends while we munched on pizza lol. Basically its a form of expressing joy which could come from something that just happened, like beating your friend in a game or grabbing the last slice of pizza before anyone else. But saying WOOT itself is pretty fun, take a deep breath now and yell out “WOOOOOOOOT,” it feels so good lol; best do it when you are at home and not in a crowded library lol. The origin of WOOT is not clear, but it could be an acronym for We Owned the Other Team which is in reference to beating another team quite severely.

The word of the year for Japan is “Fraud/Imitation.” This was announced when a famous Buddhist priest of the Kiyomizu Temple in Kyoto wrote the Chinese Character or Kanji as it is known in Japan for onlookers to see.
The word “Fraud” “WOOT” all of the other words that could have been the word of the year for Japan (there I used WOOT in a sentence lol, makes sense now doesn’t it?). Fraud was chosen due to all the fraudulent scandals this year in Japan including Social Security payment records suddenly missing which means thousands won’t get social security that they have partially paid into in the past, McDonald’s selling day old salad as “Fresh” which lead to complaints of sickness after ingesting the “fresh” salad, and Japan’s Deputy Defense Minister Yoko Yamada demand for “perks” in exchange for goverment contracts.

This is totally unrelated but I thought it was kawaii lol. Click here to hear Misao from Lucky Star whenever you press certain keys on your keyboard. My favorite button is from the Christmas version Misao keyboard which on the bottom right hand corner on the right of “OK” and below “yaru” for those who can read Japanese as it has Misao laughing lol. Scroll further down and you can find a download link which is a link that opens up to the Misao keyboard you see above that can play music along with hearing Misao’s cute and hilarious lines from Lucky Star. Fang Power FTW ^^. Now that I think about it, the word of the year for AnimeSugoi is…… “Fang,” in tribute to my favorite Lucky Star character and favorite character of the year, Misao ^^. Take a look at the picture of her above and you will see why lol.
