Do you recommend the Surface Pro?

It depends on what you're looking for! If you need a laptop that works as a drawing tablet, then yes, I'd highly recommend it. I use the Surface Pro as my work computer while also sketching on it, so for me it works very well as both! If you're looking for strictly a portable computer, or strictly a tablet, or strictly a drawing tablet - I'd buy a smaller computer/iPad/Cintiq because those are much cheaper.

Do you recommend Dangan Ronpa?

This is a loaded question uhhhhhhhhh it all honestly depends on what you're looking for:
- Do you enjoy good game design? Then no, the games are not for you, because the game elements are pretty much awful. However, if you answer yes to most of the rest of the questions below you can grit your teeth and bear the pain and still have a good (despair?) time.
- Do you enjoy interesting mysteries? If yes, then hell yeah! Danganronpa is pretty great with its twists and MOs, so if you enjoy a fun murder mystery novel that's in the form of very exaggerated anime, you will DIG DR. (It is worth noting that you should obviously not go in knowing spoilers, and enjoy the games for what they are and what they offer to get the most out of it)
- Do you like trashy, concentrated anime? If yes why are you like. even here. go play danganronpa. theres a gambler that wants to sit on you and crush ur jugular with her heel. theres also a cute gamer girl that deserves all the best in the world
- do you........like despair
do you
well
what the fuck are you waiting for then
indulge yoursel,f and just grab tissues cause youreeEee gonna ne eed a lOT

Off the top of your head, what are your top 5 anime episodes of 2016?

mmmmmmmmmm in no order I guess? (I don't really like making lists when it comes to anime, haha, but here are some of my favorites that I can think of)
1.) One of those first four episodes of BnHA, most likely the second one, but take your pick
2.) The seventh episode of Kiznaiver, which honestly just takes the cake in general
3.) Joker Game's tenth episode was incredibly solid (so was its first two! As you can see...I'm pretty bad at choosing...^^;)
4.) the Yukako focused episode in Jojo (Episode 20? i think?) was really nice.
5.) Luluco meets Inferno Cop (no joke, Luluco is still one of the strongest shows of the year for me)
runner up: there is a Moment in Re:ZERO that specifically gets to me (i do not rly care much about the show overall but that scene!!!!) in episode 18 and it is the Worst and fucks me up entirely

Did you hear about Uchouten Kazoku 2?

I DID. I'm still half convinced I must be dreaming, but apparently there is Someone Up There That Thinks Anime And Its Fans Deserve A Second Chance so i'll keep my fingers crossed and hope that it's just as good if not better than the first season!

When did you come to decide that the cannibals life was the life for you?

[dons plaid shirt, sunglasses, vans shoes] i simply do not understand what you mean. i was always a cannibal, before cannibalism became cool

Traditional or digital art, what is easier for you?

Mmmmm I'd say traditional, simply because I practiced mainly through sketching (pencil/ballpoint pen/charcoal). That however, is restricted to black and white; for color, I prefer digital, simply because it is less expensive and you can edit/redo whatever needs to be done (though I do love oil painting!).

Did you doom ChihayaXShinobuXArata? Because it sure seems like it in the manga.

that is indeed my otp but it seems to be going strong still so i have hope

When you write articles, do you look at other articles about the same subject to inform your writing, or do you avoid that in case it might influence your writing?

Not really! I'm kind of paranoid about maintaining my own stance on things without being influenced by others' opinions (petty, I know, but I genuinely love to go into something without having assumptions or preemptive biases, as it allows me to really....connect more to pieces of work.) There are times however, for informational or educational purposes, where I will research and/or use other people's articles for confirming facts (names, dates, events, etc).

Your Nausicaa doodle looks great. What tools are you using? Ever thought about creating an on line gallery?

Thank you so much! I just used Photoshop Creative Suite and my Surface Pro 4.
I don't really have time to commit to art unfortunately - my life is a busy schedule of science and whatnot, so making a gallery would be kind of pointless ^^; I still play around with my tablet though and love to sketch as a way to destress however, so maybe from time to time if I'm not too embarrassed I'll post those on twitter or something.
