Reviews

There are some anime where you see the runtime of each episode and say "wow, I wish these were longer". Ame-iro Cocoa is not one of those anime. I don't remember exactly how I came across this anime. Maybe it was on the front page of kissanime or something. But however I found it, I ended up watching all of the episodes in one sitting since they were only 2 minutes long. You’ll notice I don’t have a warning at the top about spoilers. That’s because there is nothing to spoil in this anime. This anime holds nothing of value in it. The characters are shit, the plot is non-existent, the animation and art are so bland it made Servant Service look like a work of art, and the music was so boring it almost put me to sleep. Not that each episode didn't do that anyways. Before I wrote this review I flipped through a dictionary to try to find a word to accurately describe this anime. Sadly, there appears to be no word in the english language that can do justice to this anime. Simply calling it boring doesn't do it justice. I could sit with my face against a wall for 24 minutes and get more entertainment than I did from watching this anime. I could marathon School Days and still feel like I'd spent my time better. There is nothing in this world comparable to this. Charlotte looks like a masterpiece next to this pile of garbage. The closest thing to it I can think of is the rotting carcass of some sort of bird I found under my bed once. Much to my dismay, I discovered that MAL doesn’t let me rate anything 0/10, so I was forced to raise the score up to a 1. What possessed the people at EMT² to animate this piece of garbage is beyond me.

Plot: 0/10
There is no plot. Not that this is in and of itself a bad thing. Some of my favorite anime are Hidamari Sketch and Non Non Biyori. But those at least had some sort of entertainment value. This one is just fucking boring. The fact that the episodes were only 2 minutes was the only reason I kept watching while quietly dying on the inside.

Characters: -10/10
I don’t know if anyone here has seen Mawaru Penguindrum, but if you have, you’ll probably remember that all the background characters (people walking on the street, classmates, etc.) were just these floating representations of people with no defining characteristics. That’s kind of what these characters were like. If you asked me, I couldn’t tell you their names or anything about them because their most notable character trait was that they existed.

Art: shit/10
As if the plot wasn’t boring enough, the character design and background is so bland and unmemorable, I’m pretty sure if you showed me a screenshot from the anime, I wouldn’t recognize it.

Music: ………………….

Oh sorry, I fell asleep for a second there. Where was I? Oh yes music. Honestly, I could write music that was more interesting than this anime’s OST. That’s really all I have to say about it. There’s really nothing spectacular about this music other than it was more boring than the character designs

I’m going to take a page out of Yuniversal’s book and list the pros and cons of this anime. Here we go.

Pros:
- the episodes are short

Cons:
- The plot
- The characters
- The art
- The music
- There’s more than 1 episode

This anime is worse than Sword Art Online. At least that was entertaining.
