Aiura (Anime) add (All reviews)
Jul 29, 2013
Aiura is a very pleasant, short slice of life series. Each episode is only 4 minutes long so it's a great time-killer and mood lifter.

Story:
The "story" consists of three girls who share the first semester of high school together. Don't even worry about it since it's obviously not the point of this show.

Art:
Relaxing atmosphere, nice use of colors, the actual animation isn't bad at all. For a short series, it's incredibly well-made. The aesthetic will probably remind people of KyoAni's Lucky Star and Nichijou, but the actual presentation and execution is evocative of Ichigo Marshmallow (to the point where there's an explicit visual reference).

Sound:
Again, calm and relaxing for the most part. OP was fun, ED is sweet. Moods are captured well in this show. Voice acting is phenomenal, every character sounds "like themselves".

Character:
No real development, but that's to be expected. Characters remind me of the ones from Ichigo Marshmallow. They all fit together well.

Only bad thing is not enough loli-voice teacher and Kyon.


Overall, I really enjoyed it. It does what it sets out to do and it does it well. It's also quite funny; there's a good sense of timing.

Anyway, if you like skirts and schoolgirl legs, watch this. If you like SoL, watch this. If you're praying for more Ichigo Marshmallow, watch this. Cute girls, watch this. Have time, watch this.
