What if you found out that aliens had set foot on earth, multiple times in fact, but instead of establishing first contact or anything they just made ants steal batteries and coke cans for them. You go outside and find one commanding a small army to take down a chihuahua. That’s pikmin.

I have yet to watch the Shurara Corps episodes, but there is something so so sweet about them unabashedly being kids' OCs. They have cool powers like being made of snow, controlling shadows, or turning people into stuffed animals. They are all part of this mysterious and elite squad of antagonists sent to defeat the main characters. Not to mention that their final designs in the anime are almost exactly the same - if not an exact replica of the designs their creators gave them.
This isn't the whole Corps, but look at these! Drawn in marker and crayon and colored pencil - most likely on whatever printer paper was in the house. They are all so creative, I just know the artists had fun making them.
And I'm sure these guys were more time-consuming to animate than the main cast. Look me in the eye and tell me Shurara WASN'T a total pain to color correctly. Not counting shading he's got at least 10 or 11 unique colors in his color scheme... and yet he's still there in all his asymmetrical glory, looking almost exactly the same as he does in the fanletter. They all do!
From a professional standpoint, he's a nightmare of a character design. But from a kid's standpoint? He's like the coolest villain imaginable. They're ALL cool.
To me, these guys are love letters to childhood creativity. I love that they exist and I'm so glad they didn't get simplified by the anime staff to save on time or production costs. I bet it made their creators happy to see them on screen.

how much salt does a keronian need to ingest before it lethally dehydrates them. could we kill keroro with a box of saltine crackers.

the life-sized keroro gunso plushies have been out for awhile now in japan and lemme tell ya, seeing ppl on twitter dress theirs up in little outfits has been magical.
My favorite by far is someone's Tamama plush that is dressed in an impeccable all white three-piece suit, complete with a teeny necktie and real buttons on the waistcoat and suit jacket.

I was literally thinking yesterday how it would be funny if the villain in New World of Steam had a gun, because american stereotypes lol, and LO AND BEHOLD.
I boosted the brightness on picture two and I think that the villain is even wearing a cowboy hat?

Do you think if Koyuki had been a basketball player instead of a ninja we could've gotten a Dororo that balled. A big chunk of his current identity can be traced back to being rescued by her is all I'm sayin.
I know he woulda been insane on the court </3

since Dororo is supposed to speak somewhat archaically in japanese i kinda wish the english translations of kg would do something with that fact.
here is my (rather extreme) example. speaking like he learned english from a fantasy novel
