Ducks In Anime: Other Shows Do It Too!

-Shugo Chara Dokki Doki, ep14

Nope, I'm not watching the show, but the good folks at Chihiro happened to post a screenshot that showed duckies, so...

I'm pretty sure this particular entry now holds the record for most rubber duckies in a single screenshot.  The previous title holder was Kanokon ep08, with eight visible and 11 in-scene.

Yes, I'm a geek.

Yuno's Got A New Duck(s In Anime)!

Big news!  Yuno's got a new duckie!

-Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu, ep02
This makes three different duckies we've seen accompany her into the bath.  I think we can actually begin to count her amongst the ranks of the collectors!  And here's the thing: it's a new style of duckie, to boot:

Her previous duckies have a much larger open bill, painted eyes and more detail to the tailfeathers, like so:

-Hidamari Sketch x 365, ep05
...so it's pretty clear that she's gotten a new one.  Or the animators drew it wrong.  But I'm going with the first guess, because it fits my reality better!

And here's the neat part.  If she DID get a new duckie, the other two are somewhere in her apartment, because Yuno's not the type who could throw away a duckie.

Ducks In Anime: HidaSketch Is BACK!

I've been way too long without my fix of Yuno, Sae, Hiro and Miyako.  And Yuno's ducks.

It seems like they actually have a fairly decent budget this time around, too.  It's crystal clear and the art is substantially improved (though you can't tell from the duckie scene).

Of course, the girls are just the same as they ever were; normal, with just a dash of off-kilter to give the show something to work with.  in other words, exactly how they should be.  Hidamari Sketch x Hoshimittsu, we'll be seeing a lot of each other in the coming months!

Yeah, that's usually the look I get when I say that...

It was on screen for just a few seconds, but my eyes went directly to the lower-left corner...
