Four cats in colorful kimonos pose

About this image

A whimsical anime-inspired illustration showing four anthropomorphic cats dressed in ornate kimonos—purple, pink, blue, and red—standing before a bright red torii gate amid blooming cherry trees. The scene blends traditional Japanese attire with a playful, modern mood, using vivid colors and delicate floral patterns to evoke a festival atmosphere.

  I know they say it that way there, they use a different verb form. In Spain we would say "tu" in the singular or "vuestra" in the plural, "su" is a more distant form of address, like "usted" (formal "you").Yes, I saw the anime on TV first, then in the internet age I downloaded it. It aired on many channels, from local stations to cable, Cartoon Network (like Cow and Chicken). The last time I saw it, I saw an ad on Fox. I recommend Shin-chan. I've done some research and apparently there are several English dubs, more or less faithful to the original. You can find them on YouTube.Regarding the trip to Japan...as that wise 5-year-old named Shinnosuke said, "Why would I want to learn English if I'm never going to leave Kasukabe?" Well, I feel the same way about my city, hahaha. Sorry for rambling on so much.https://youtu.be/pDEPF4JjL34?si=w82Sxerzbnp207zP

  lol, I thought I remembered the local "mi casa, su casa" wrong but it is howe they say it around here. Maybe it's like slang? It even shows up in wikitionary. A hotel uses it in their ads too so it's pretty widely known. Anime is really cool I don't know those that you are talking about. Do you see them on local TV channels or cable TV? Or a web channel? I haven't seen any in a long time. Once amazon had Cowboy Bepop on sale for $5 for the series so I grabbed it. So now I can watch that one on Amazon. The slice of life ones sound fun. If you get a chance, go visit Kyoto. It's amazing. My friend in Japan says yen is very low over there right now. If I had money, I'd go visit again.

  Yeah. Okinawa is an island south of Japan that belongs to Japan. But the weather and beaches is more like Hawaii. Spanish and Japanese sound a like actually because the vowel sounds are similar but the words mean different thing. Like casa in Spanish is house but case in Japanese is umbrellsa. I live in SW USA and people use Spanish a lot. I know like "mi casa, su casa". little things like that but i can't speak Spanish

  Yes? You're the first Japanese person I've met (if you can even call it meeting). I know things about Japan from anime like Shin Chan (they travel to Okinawa in one episode) or Kochikame. I love those slice-of-life series that show what life is like there; it's not all ninjas and katanas... and the Spanish there is a little different, but "mi casa es tu casa" (my house is your house).

  Thank you! since you can mix text with emojis, you might do a spin where you add your usual style paragraph with the emoji prompt. although with that I'd lke to see a before and after so maybe not. I wonder if here is a cafe emoji. I'm going to go check. Your lady in the cafe made me think of these cats having coffee at a cafe

  Thank you. Some models understand emoji. This is GPT 1.5 Low and it does pretty good. I did a blog comparing how different models can do the same landscape emoji. It's the 2nd half of the blog if you want to see how differently models do the same emoji prompt. You can mix words with emoji if you want more control. https://budgetpixel.com/blog/quick-intro-to-using-emojis-in-ai-art-prompts

  Oh that's interesting. I don't notice that so much as it has a strong signature style. GPT does too. Both styles are nice but sometimes I want them to make MY style in the prompt, lol. Sometimes the merger of their style and my style is quite nice tho.

• @CaylaCatz · Apr 12, 2026

  thank you for the link. You can ramble no problem. Speaking of which. I accidentally clicked my "mark all as read" button so I lost a bunch of notifications. I've lost the thread to some of our conversations. I'm glad I remembered this one was here.

• @CaylaCatz · Apr 12, 2026

  me too! I tried it to but harder time. Apparently the AI thinks sipping coffee in a cafe is a human activity with a cat to keep her company. I had no human in the prompt and it kept importing one.... from your prompt, lol
