Kujira no Kora wa Sajou ni Utau

A shoujo manga getting an anime adaptation? Beyond the fact that shoujo anime are incredibly rare these days, {and not very popular in the general community}, I was inspired me to read the manga, and I wasn't impressed.

Art: The art is gorgeous. A pastel water-color like vibe, it is gorgeous on the eyes. Super abstract and beautiful.

Story: Unique, but really slow. It just sorta meanders at the early points, introducing us to the world. Once it kicks up, it slows down again, taking its time to do things. Really, a lot of stuff is just dumped on us, and it doesn't really explain anything. The characters are generic. Main male lead is a typical shoujo protagonist, he is a guy who has some girl-like mannerisms/is cute at times and kind. Main female is enigmatic at best. Secondary male lead is "bad boy."

Overall: Okay, but not that clever. At least it is abstract in the art.
