SynopsisThe Moon Phase Comments diary reports that a NetMile Research survey has leaked the news of an anime adaptation for Satoko Kiyuzuki's GA Geijutsu-ka Art Design Class manga. The slice-of-life manga revolves around five freshman girls in a high school art class. The manga has been running in Heiwa Shuppan's Comic Cute! magazine and later in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara Carat since 2004, and two volumes have been compiled and published.
According to the web diary, Hiroaki Sakurai (Di Gi Charat, Kodocha, Cromartie High School) will direct off scripts that will be supervised by Doko Machida (Allison & Lillia, Lucky Star, Tears to Tiara). Atsuko Watanabe (Fight Ippatsu! Jūden-chan!!) will reportedly design the characters that AIC will animate. [Source: ANN] |

*Note that this is my first review....
*Also note that I WILL update this as I watch more...
For someone who loves art, not just "anime" styled art like me, this anime was fairly enjoyable for my type. Sure, there are other animes about art, but this one caught my interest in particular.
There is no solid story to this anime, and simply, it tells the watchers about the activities that the GA, the Geijutsuka or Art Design Class experiences. The anime has five characters, each with their own distinct personalities. I have to admit that the character design and art was "interesting" to say the least for the anime.
The BGMs and OP and ED music were alright, but the anime probably will not be known for that.
Overall, I thought the concept of combining say your typical moe-chibi-girl-cute-etc anime and adding some traditional art styles such as painting, sketching, and various other types of mediums and add it to modern moe Japanese animation was quite interesting. I would say it is quite a good anime.
Of course, that is because I am an art nerd, for various other people, the opinion might be different. Nonetheless, if you love art or just watch cute-girls do various activities involving or not involving art, it would be recommended.

Both are slice-of-life anime about art students in high school. The only real difference I can think of is that GA is much more focused on art, and therefore you may miss some of the jokes if you aren't familiar with drawing or painting, while Hidamari is aimed more towards the general audience, but is less focused on the "art" aspect.
Both anime are involved with art and randomness.
When I started watching GA, I can't stop thinking of Hidamari Sketch. It gives the same feeling and impression.
Featuring the daily lives of art class students, in chibified forms. Both anime starts of exceptionally slowly, and those loving action will have to look else where, but for slice of life lovers, stick by both and you'll learn to love and appreciate the characters in both.
Hidamari and GA are both about a group of girls attending art classes at their high school. Hidamari focuses a little less on the art asepct, but the shows are still quite similar. GA is kind of like the middle ground between Sketchbook and Hidamari, so if you liked those, you'll probably like GA.
Same art school motive, 4 girls.

the art, character design, animation are quite similar. GA gave me the impression I first got from Lucky Star. Both are also abt school life, however, GA is more concerned with art while Lucky Star is abt random slice of life in every episode.
Both are comedies with school friends. They don't have expanded threads, preferably are collection of mini-stories.
