Nayu's News #83 Cute chibi of the day #2

"Yay!"

Since I'm hopefully feeling better today after Friday, I thought you could do with a cute and upbeat chibi picture! Got the cute panda, mixed with hearts, wings, and slightly gothic theme. Taken from an online search for chibis, no less.

Nayu's News #79 I discover Chibis!

Isn't she cute? Yesterday on my search for more fun anime pics I came across chibis. (All pics taken from the internet) According to Urban Dictionary a chibi is:

It is an adjective that means small and/or miniature in a good or cute way. Normally used to describe (young) people or animals, and is endearing. This word, along with kawaii and several other Japanese words, have been taken by America's "Wapanese" who have gone overboard in accentuating their English speech with Japanese words. "Chibi" was probably first introduced to the West through anime, and probably from the name of Sailor Chibimoon, in Sailor Moon.

and

Smaller form of any existing character, meant to look cute. Usually has irregular proportions, with a big head and tiny limbs.

I started a chibi search and did manage to stop myself before I spent all day doing it. There are sooo many.
