Sasa looks forward to summer (and this time it's her) and Hidamari reimplementation "x365":

The main achievement of Hidamari Sketch is, in my opinion, the most endearing facial expressions that anime has ever brough. Of course only die-hard fans like me would appreciate it, so Hidamari Sketch will hopefully fill the gap that Aria and Chii will leave when it’s over for them.

The "only die-hard fans" part comes from the bi-modal animation in the original Hidamari. The normal mode is like this:
