Logged in on Tumblr for the first time in... I don't even remember how long 
Still don't feel comfortable there.
When I was young, my dream was to somehow make Kawako canon (because she is merely a fancharacter). To get an official approval from TV Asahi or whoever owns the copyright for the canon universe. And then maybe have it adapted into a manga or something, and then - ah, sweet dreams, sweet dreams! - maybe into a TV series or a feature film...
And now I think, maybe I should pursue that dream no matter how unrealistic and childish it sounds? Well, the story itself is set in 2030s, what if I set it as a goal to reach by that time? (I just hope Koichi Domoto doesn't retire by that time so he can reprise his role, lol)
I read spoilers to Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Rei (the manga), and I'm a bit saddened that my ship did not sail 
Why, Ryukishi07?.. And I rarely even ship characters, but this was that one rare case, and it didn't sail!
So, I watched the live-action One Piece! My coworker, a long-time One Piece fan, introduced it to me. She said she thought it was gonna be just another crappy Netflix remake, but it turned out surprisingly good, and the mangaka himself was involved, so the main cast really looks like the author himself had envisioned them. I have only a basic knowledge what One Piece is about (I've seen a few episodes of the anime long time ago, but, you know, it's already 1000+ of them...), so I thought it was a good way to get more familiar with the unverse. And I really enjoyed it! It does have that nostalgic spirit of youth and adventure, and it is really well filmed. The season, though, looks like one big prologue, so I'm definitely looking forward for more!
Kawako IRL!
