As a big fan of Sonico myself, this anime is great for me. It's a relaxing slice of life story/music anime centered around our beautiful shy girl, Super Sonico. At first glance, people would think she's just a mascot with no personality just there to look pretty and provocative or simply just "B00BS" but that’s not the case. You get to see Sonico's character shine in this anime which is that she is a huge cat lover, loves rock, is a big nerdo, and works hard for her band, her grandmother's restaurant, and anything ! She is as sweet
...
and she is as cute.
There really isn’t much of story going on, it’s basically just Sonico chasing her dreams in music and simply enjoying the wonders of life. One episode I really enjoyed is episode 7, which is titled, Star Rain. That episode is just the definition of a peaceful Slice of Life, which Sonico travels to Niigata and we can see the nice scenery and it makes a nice aesthetic, I really enjoyed that one scene where she stops by a glassmaker's shop in the rain.
The art is pretty good, the backgrounds are well drawn, nothing "meh".
Although, I kind of wish the characters would look more like Tsuji Santa's art style, it does but like even more if you get me ? But anyways art isn’t bad.
Opening is really catchy and also adorable and screams out what is Super Sonico ! I sometimes listen to it as Nightcore version. lol
The endings are also cute since each episode has a different montage of what happened in each episode, and also feature a different song in each one by First Astronomical Velocity. Nightmare Buster and Star Rain are my favorites.
Suzu, Fuuri, and Kitamura, are great too. First, Suzu, I like how in the anime they explain how she met Sonico and Suzu wanting Sonico to join her to see a concert together was so wholesome, so I enjoyed that very much, and she's quite the tomboy as well. Fuuri, the one who always wants nikuman, hence why I call her "foodie" since her name sounds like that. xD I like the concept of three-girl band so FAV is one of my favorite fictional bands, although, I wish we could've seen more of them playing music, since I found the times when they did play music very cool. :)
Kitamura, we never got to see what was under his mask, and that’s a shame. Would be interesting if that happened. xD I like how gentle and kind he is with Sonico and knows how important her band is to her and even showed up at one of her performances, that was sweet.
Also Super Pochaco, the modeling buddy of Sonico, appeared as a cameo as a background character here and there and it looks like she went from being black haired to a blondie. You can probably tell who her role model is so I’ll just keep my yap shut. Although this aside, would have been nice to hear Pochaco speak or at least have a full scene with her in it. I think it would have fit perfectly. The rest of the characters are pretty much minor so not much to say about them. So I guess that’s it for the characters.
Overall, I enjoyed this anime, so I gave it a 9/10. For me ? I even re-watched it a few times. But I don’t know if that’s just me being a fangirl or not. Lol
Would I recommend it ?
If you like music anime or a nice slice of life, I recommend this or of you are simply a Sonico fan like me, then GO WATCH IT, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR !? Also Season 2, when ?
