There must be quite a few Shinto priests of our generation who feel that way.

I saw a picture on the packaging of frozen white rice showing chopsticks stuck upright in the rice. I sometimes see this on posters in Asian restaurants, but I think it's a bit strange.

It's probably true that the spices themselves have a strong aroma, but I think the materials used for packaging have a bigger impact. Shops that don't seem to be very meticulous and have a more authentic feel often use cheap, permeable bags, so the scent comes through directly. This means the aroma escapes easily... https://t.co/wZltNFkJEZ

Quiz! Aoi Nea [VOICEROID Theater] - Nico Nico Douga
For those unfamiliar with the time, the amazing thing about the anime 'Kemono Friends' is that, at the time of its broadcast, the original social game had already shut down, there was no sponsor backing, and it was even called a 'damage control' project. Yet, in just three months of broadcasting, it rose to become a dominant force—a truly 'god-tier anime.'

I am deeply saddened by Mr. Nakamura's passing, and with his permission, I am publishing the full text of the first installment of 'Comitia Spirit.' This first installment does not feature Comitia yet. It is a story about Mr. Nakamura when he was just a young man, before he started it.

There was no specific design for the first ship of the new Macross class, but Kawamori instructed that 'since it's an early model, it should not have a shell.'
— Munenori Nawa (@fattyNawa) April 29, 2026
During the layout stage, they also supervised the design and added, 'Placing smaller ships on top of the city and casting shadows will give it a sense of scale.'

To my 25-year-old self: You spent your days bewildered by your first acting role, and countless times you almost gave up on being an actor. Your pride was utterly shattered, and there were times you walked home crying in the rain. You worried many times about finding another job after this project was over. But it all paid off. Look, 25 years later, the Agito movie is complete and now...
