Do It Yourself!! / int_192ba729	type	Older Is Better
Do It Yourself!! / int_192ba729	comment	Older Is Better: Played With; the theme of old vs. new is a recurring theme through the show, contrasting the hands-on and rustic DIY club with the vast and high-tech setting the characters live in. While characters like Miku argue that DIY would become obsolete in the future due to construction tools improving, it's reinforced that the process and accomplishment of building is what matters most to the club, as well as the community the characters build through it. Noteworthy too is that a fair number of high-tech tools are used to aid the club like UV ovens or 3D software for making blueprints, showing that neither "old or bad" beats the other and both of their tools can coexist for different purposes.

Do It Yourself!! / int_1e0e8f80	comment	Japanese School Club: The show is about the "DIY Club" of Gagagata Girls' High School, a group of like-minded girls interested in everything hand-crafted like furniture, glass art and architecture. They're also incredibly short on numbers at the beginning of the show and need five members total in order to stay active.

Serufu coos "Cocoa...", the name of Sakura's character, while staring at Yasaku. In the second episode, Serufu suggests opening a cafe. It segues into an Imagine Spot where Serufu twirls around with a tray of coffee like Sakura's character from that show, while Sakura herself stands stoically behind the counter pouring coffee like her character's little sister Chino.

"su'ree-dee pu'rin-tah" - 3D-Printer. Takumi means "artisan." "Shii" is a complicated one. Kouki Kokoro is her real name; koukishin means "curiosity" and "shi" is death.

Jobko spends all of episode 3 antagonizing the DIY club in what's obviously a bitter way to vent her frustration. Once she actually gives them a chance, she's still too embarrassed to actually muster any nice words, despite appreciating finally having company.
