Manaria Friends is adapted from a Gacha Game (one I did not play) so my expectations were low and I'm really only in it for the yuri. Conveniently out of all gacha games adaptions to an anime, it did one thing right, focus in immensely on a small cast of characters and make a good show out of it.
It successfully did that, the two main leads contrast with one another and like each other. The other cast are tack-ons but they feel right as tack-ons. It isn't as if the tack-ons need to have spotlight which so many other gacha game adaptions always force

16bit Sensation: Another Layer
(Anime)
add
16bit Sensation: Another Layer was disappointing. The idea of a show being a tribute to an early part of the anime subculture, the early 80-90s doujin games is a good premise. However when it was executed, it felt weak. It is not worth watching.
Animation wise, the show is fine. Konoha looks cute, Mamoru is quite handsome. The other characters are easy on the eyes and the show is fine on that regard. Character wise, the show is also fine. Konoha does love games of the era she is supposed to enjoy. Her passion is infectious and game development team as a whole feel warm and dysfunctional ...

The characters are by far the strongest this show has to offer. They feel alive with their own goals and interests. The main characters Chisato and Takina contrast exceptionally ...

Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote
(Anime)
add
Seiyuu Radio is not a masterpiece or anything but it is a fun show with bits of yuri in it and that's all it takes for me to recommend it despite my rating.
Animation wise, it is nothing special, colors are bright which would match the light tone of the series, characters are easy for eyes to enjoy. It works for what the show is trying to do. The main characters are likable both visually and personality wise. Their characters contrast with each other yet care for each other in their own unique way. As Seiyuu Radio's genre is Comedy and Girls' Love, the characters fit ... |
