I subtitle Chibi Maruko-chan, an anime that's been around since 1990, 'cause why not? I also play Japanese PS1 and PS2 games when I get a chance.

Notes:
Another episode, another haiku from Grandpa. These will start becoming more commonplace as they start making them an integral part of his character. Luckily, they're actually quite fun to do! The only snag thus far is that he often refers to Maruko as "his grandchild" in the haikus, and well, let's just say that "grandchild" is a bit complicated when it comes to the ol' syllable count. I mean, to me, there's three, but every syllable site lists as two unless "child" is deliberately enunciated. As such, while "grandchild" would be the preferred term for me to use, I can only foresee people yelling at me no matter how many syllables I decide it's going to be.
