Cherry blossom photos!
Kio would like to see the cherry blossoms from Yoshinoyama, but that’s easier said than done.
He did see the cherry blossoms around Tochigi Prefecture, though.
Kio says the boobs of the main heroine in Dekapai Kishi Makari Tooru! (The Big-Boobed Knight Goes Unpunished) are so distracting that it might just be hiding a panty reveal.
It’s raining off and on.
Kio’s been so busy lately that he almost forgot about the release of the 4th Girls und Panzer film short. He feels that he’s gotta see it!
Kio believes he owns this kit for the Auge Arusqul from The Five Star Stories. He hasn’t actually built it. Though.
Kio realizes there are music videos for the Vocaloid song covers in the movie Cosmic Princess Kaguya.
A picture of the fan booklet that came with the fourth Girls und Panzer Motto Love Love Sakusen Desu! movie. Kio finally saw it and wants to watch it again.

Kio is very excited for the Five Star Stories model kit Magnapalace Knight of Gold by the brand Our Treasure.
Re-posting some old drawings, like this one of Madarame and Jin. (I previously covered this, but it’s been enough years that this is probably worth showing again.)
Kio is surprised at the announcement of the Neo Geo AES+. He feels like he might have brought it into existence by drawing a Neo Geo in Spotted Flower.
Another old Hashikko Ensemble drawing, this time of Kurotaki Mai.
Kio thanks a foreign fan of Zenbu Sensei no Sei. and also hopes to see it made into an anime.
Kio is excited to have gotten the DVD of How Do You Like Wednesday? special on Iriomote Island.
