Back in middle school, there was a period when I drifted away from anime and completely immersed myself in online games. Titles like Lineage and Ragnarok Online were practically addictive substances for my younger self—I was utterly hooked.
Full Metal Panic! was the main reason I got back into anime. When I happened to catch it on TV, I was blown away by its high-quality animation. I hadn’t realized anime had evolved to such a level.
From then on, I gradually started watching Fullmetal Alchemist and other series.
Chidori Kaname was practically my goddess of revival. But because the animation quality was so high, it never even crossed my mind until today that I would one day draw her.
