What it is? Howl’s Moving Castle

Is it me, or do these get shorter? A belated Valentines Day on my part, but I hope you all enjoyed the day none the less.
What is below not as fine as the specimens from yesterday, but none the less, each has their own art style that they prefer, and you’ll see much more uniquely styled art on this site in weeks to come, so bear with me and my addled mind and my limited thought process for now.
Here’s Nyanko-sensei celebrating yesterday with what he likes doing best:

Whether it be those infamously fabulous Somy televisions or weird bright yellow letters that almost look like McDonalds but not quite, parodies of brands have been a mainstay of anime (and Western media!) since probably the beginning. Perhaps owing to their explosive growth in Asia and the instantly recognisable green circle and bold white letters, Starbucks seems to be one of the current favourites for parody, thanks to some very high profile inclusions!
Sometimes when we look at a picture, we don’t stop to look at the entirety of it. We may appreciate the effect it has, find it attractive, and so on, but we don’t step too close to look at the fine details of it.
Since neither the vein nor the approach to these posts are set, I thought I would follow on a similar vein from ruby last week, albeit with less skill and a meandering train of thought. As he lead you on a little trip through citypr0n– oh, I’m sorry, I mean cityscapes last week, this time’s post is on food in anime/manga (although predominantly I’ll be drawing on anime examples here).
