The blurring in Punch It is lovely, and I adore Communications. I don't know the character, but I still totally hear a voice in that way that the voice actors seem to have of implying the ?!?! in words alone. :)

Thanks for the compliments. :)

The funny thing is that the blur was already in the cap that I used. I just happened to crop it so that it would look good. ^^; But I guess cropping is important anyways.

I was tempted to use the actual word "arashi?" that he was saying in the show, but then the icon wouldn't make sense. So I picked the more commonly known "nani?". XD

(He's asking basically what a storm is because he's from a world that always had fair weather.)

The crop is always important. :) Composition is half of art, after all!

Nani was a good choice, since most people who are familiar with anime (even if not familiar with the particular show) are used to the word, as well as the tone used. The icon really works.

Yeah, I'm already really familiar with the importance of composition in photography (I sometimes crop my photos to work with their composition). Speaking of, I need to get back to taking pictures.

Nani is a good word - "what" is one of the most important words one can learn in a language, especially when you're a beginner.
