I don't know if I could for sure call anything my absolute favorite anime, but Welcome to the NHK does a very good job of illustrating the rough life of hikikomori (basically modern day hermits, which is an issue Japan deals with in some capacity to this day) while mixing in good humor and more serious moments. If I remember correctly, the author of the manga was a Hikikomori himself, which likely helped make the writing as good as it was. Also, the anime version of Misaki is definitely best girl material (She's... less than stellar in the manga so I need to be specific). Would I say it's my number one anime? debatable, probably in a top 10 though.

Doing my best to readjust to being at home more often again. Been away from home a lot lately due to travel, family matters and some events. But now spending more time revamping may garden. Strong sun and heavy rain has made my plants much bigger over the past 2 weeks.

(10:48 PM Mon.) I had to block an account online for the first time ever. This account radiates suspicious vibes to me...it's giving adult content (the name and profile of the account), yet the profile itself has no personal posts (it's not set to private either so I found it odd). I've waited a bit to block it cause I was tracking if it was coincidence or not, but this account keeps periodically checking in on my account every couple weeks to a month or so. It isn't harming me personally, and I'd ignore it if it was probably anyone else, but again, the account is giving adult content and so I was weary if whoever or whatever runs the account is sending the few selfies I have of myself through DM's to people (or feeding it to AI), cause it's giving someone searching for adult content creators (I AM NOT the candidate for that lol). Maybe I am being paranoid about it? But, I don't like the vibe the account gives so I finally blocked them today. You never know who's saving or sharing your content and to whom, so I played it safe and just did it for peace of mind XD.

I first got a design concept done with chat GPT so I have something to start from. The hard part was translating it into blender. I wanted to have a fully rigged up 3D model that will move and talk so I downloaded VRoid Studio on steam and used their free base female model. It already was fully rigged so all I needed was to do the clothes and hair and accessories. Now I'm working on the hard part. Here's what I have so far! https://i.imgflip.com/b10s3v.jpg
