In data, as in life, nothing’s perfect. You can have it accurate, timely, or cheap — and it's a tradeoff. The BLS opts for timely, then revises when more info arrives to improve accuracy, without blowing out the cost. That’s not a flaw, it’s the trade-off baked into every statistic.

You can take a single look at the show and feel that the energy is different from Nichijou's - not that the adaptation of that show didn't cushion everything with soothing moments. This tracks with director Ishidate saying he doesn't want to force anyone to laugh, but rather share a joyful world

Have come to appreciate CITY's aesthetic as not just beautiful (it's gorgeous) or technically interesting (the feeling of a seamless cel, 100% brush pens, etc), but also as the embodiment of the series. It's an interconnected setting full of weirdos, yet so different from Nichijou in its chill vibes

Just a few photos from a short trip to Tokyo (Dec 2023). Shot on my Sony a6700.
