INTEREST: A Look at Niconico Chokaigi3

Maybe these are more photos on the Akihabara News coverage. (As they put it: "it appears that the ability to draw characters over 25 years old has vanished from the skill sets of all Japanese anime artists" )

Thanks for the nice coverage of Niconico Chokaigi3 since I've been dying to find out more about the event. Too bad, there weren't any pictures about the Utaite events/singers.

That's just an accurate view of the life cycle of the anime character. Born, grows to adulthood through five moltings (baby, to kindergartener, to grade-schooler, to middle-schooler, to high-schooler, and finally to adult size/clothes), lives in the unchanging adult form for about a decade, spins a cocoon (off-camera), emerges as a three-foot-tall senior citizen, and lives several decades in that form, until natural death.

Ha! In their adult form, do they live under the ground never to be seen till they re-emerge as senior citizens? Is that why all high school students live like orphans?
