At the moment i am looking around for a lot of random "Cute Girls doing Cute Things" kinds of animes. In the last week i saw a few other shows. Shows like Hyakko, Ichigo Mashimaro and Kanamemo. Those were some decent shows with cute girls doing cute things but nothing really all that special. Those three shows all had something about them that i didn't like or at one point i just got really bored and i had kind of drag myself to finish it. It isn't as bad as i make it seem i am just exaggerating. Later i was looking through more shows and i stumbled upon A-Channel, with a 7.16 average score i was a little bit skeptical. I always try my best to watch things that are 8 or higher. But the art looked really nice so i thought i would give a shot.
Man am i pretty glad i decided to pick this up.
Story: 8
The story of this anime is just 4 cute girls doing cute things. The main thing i was looking for. Other than that there is no story and i am completely okay with that.
Art: 9.5
One of the things that i absolutely LOVEEEE LOVVEEE LOVEEEEEEEE about this anime is the art style. Many would say it's just some simple arts and colors and moe blob Sh*t. My response? JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT. The art makes me feel so calm, it doesnt look all messed up sometimes like with J.C Staff, like their eyes get all screwy or in one scene the character is wearing shoes and the next scene the character is wearing a pair of different shoes. Everything is so simple and clean and it's really really nice. Love the art. It's not KyoAni but it's still amazing. It's the simple things in life.
Sound: 8
I really like the opening of this anime. It's so different from other animes. There is this one youtube video named "Every anime opening ever" or something along the lines of that that shows what pretty much every single anime opening has in common. Sky shots of birds flying, main characters running, zooming in into a characters eyes, weird shots of the characters naked and looks like their floating, stuff like that. There is none of that. O wait i am supposed to be talking about the sound.
There isnt really too much music that stands out in this anime but every thing just fits really well.
Oh i should also mention that every single episode has it's own Insert song. I think that is pretty damn cool.
Character: 8.5 ish
I like the characters. They are somewhat cliche'd but i still like em.
Momoki Run: This chick reminds me of the Hirasawa Yui characters. The dumb but funny and cute as F**K. She always has this thing where her eyes turn white with a shady-ish black pencil like outlining. I find that to be incredibly kawaii as F**K. Yui does it sometimes in K-On also. And the way she thinks is just funny.
Ichii Tooru: The quiet yet moe loli chick of the bunch. There's usually always a loli in every Cute girls doing cute things show. She doesn't speak much and her voice is rather low but she gets her message across and she is Loli-Tastic.
Tennoujou Nagisa: The supposedly normal one of the group. All her Diet crusades are hilarious as hell. She's someone that wants to lose some weight but is the weakest in terms of athletics among the group and is always so easy to eat a lot of sweets. eating two boxes of chocolates while reading a book. WoW!
Nishi Yuuko: This is the cliche'd Scardy cat of the group. She also speaks in Kansai-ben. All of her adventures of being scared are really funny to watch. And always seeing Tooru attack her with crushing hugs near the beginning of the show was real great.
Other peeps:
Kamate Taki: this teacher is one of the coolest teachers ever. She just doesn't give a flying F**K about anything. So chill.
Satou Sachiyou: This guy is creepy, he has a forehead fetish and he's voiced by Ono Daisuke , who does ALOT of really awkward roles.
Run's mom: She had a funny scene of bribing her daughter to try harder in school lol.
Imai Yukata: She is a creepy Tooru obsessed character but it's funny to watch all of her weird antics.
Enjoyment and Overall: 8.357238RANDOM23087235
This show was really good. It reminded me of K-On in many ways. I am just gonna assume all these bad reviews were because people are comparing this to big successors like K-On or Azumanga. People really should review things based on the anime themselves not comparing it to all these big names. I think A-Channel in itself is a really fun and great anime to watch. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is into Cute girls doing cute things.
~Til next time
