I really love Anpanman. It’s really pretty deep if you think about the premise. He’s not a great overpowered hero, but he is kind. He has strength and can fly, but his greatest power is giving up bits of himself to help and comfort others, all the while growing weaker in the process.
He’s also really easy to draw. It gives me flashbacks to my doodles of Kenny in my JHS notebooks many many year ago. My students really enjoyed my funny verisons of the bean stuffed crusader so I use him for a lot of illustrations. You’ll see him often in my games and worksheets, and my overall sense of humor follows a very evident pattern that I inherited from my father and growing up in the 90’s.
