Are you normal, or do you match your meals to whatever you're watching? Personally, I don't do it every time, but if I'm committing to a film or a full-on Netflix binge, I like to make a whole night of it. When I was going through Twin Peaks, I spent weeks eating David Lynch's go-to lunch (tuna, olive oil, tomatoes, and feta cheese) followed by cherry pie or donuts for dessert. When my film-student fiancé ropes me into a Tarkovsky marathon, he makes pierogies to make sure I have enough energy to survive the hours of slow cinema.

Live action Japanese movies call for Japanese curry or sushi. But when it comes to anime, I keep things more casual. If I'm binging Hunter x Hunter or Attack on Titan, I go for ramen, Pocky, and a bottle of Ramune. I don't think I'm the only one who associates anime with comfort junk food—it just feels right. And apparently, I'm not alone; one whimsical illustrator has taken that connection a step further, turning everyone's favorite snacks into adorable anime girls that capture the spirit of fan culture in the most delicious way possible.

You can't call these doodles generic! I especially love this Churro girl's chocolate sleeves.
