Also, her single-tailed hair is just instant win!Īgain, not a show I’d rank above Hachikuro in this season, rather, ( *drum roll*), I’d say it ranks just as equally.I'm not sure if this is worth doing, since there are scanlation groups out there that are working on speedy releases but here goes. It’s really a lovely though, I like the way the characters are portrayed - especially Nanami, there’s just something about her that makes me want to scream “kawaii~!” in a high pitched girly voice - truly frightening, I know. The story also seems to be pretty simple and relies a lot ( and I mean A LOT! ) on visual aids, it’s not something you can simply understand by reading subtitles and skipping most of the images. I don’t happen to be a fan of EDs that repeat scenes from the episode. In any case, the song that was played was mesmerising ( “Aishiteru (アイシテル)” by Mi), the animation sequence leaves a lot to be desired though. I had it on repeat a few times and now I can’t get it out of my head! The OP is another thing that reminds me of Hachikuro, the bike ride scene and the way Nanami clutches at Yano just brings up images of Hachikuro, even though I don’t remember anything like that happening… I can’t really comment on the ED yet as it turns out that ep1 will have a different one from the rest of the series. The OP music, which is “Only You… (君だけを…)“ by Mi, really grows on you. Music is above average and its simplistic nature really help the background tunes blend into the light artwork - they enhance each other. Apparently the only real production they did independently was Legend of the Galactic Heroes, a title that I’ve heard of and about but have never really gotten around to viewing. A typical quick search on ANN shed some light on them. Production seems to be ARTLAND, a company which I have not a clue about. When this happened, at what particular scene, what I was thinking at the time - I do not have answers to any of these sadly enough. All I know was that “He~y, that looks a lot like FLCL” popped into my mind when I was watching. Art also strangely reminds me of FLCL in some places and I have no idea why. The art style grabbed me on first sight and honestly, it isn’t what you expect to see after seeing the promo poster at all. I had originally planned to watch at least the first few minutes to gauge whether I should watch, or not, it. The watercolour effect present throughout the episode reminds me somewhat of Honey and Clover - which is a good thing! That’s also probably one of the main reasons I continued watching after the first few minutes. I’d say it manages to reinvent the wheel somewhat.Īrt style is simply gorgeous, I love the big expressive eyes and the child-like character designs. It veers away from the many stereotypes and clichés that the comedy-romance genre has been accumulating over the years. Like a lot of other shows I’ve watched this season, I was pleasantly surprised.īokura Ga Ita has all the makings of light, refreshing, and dare I say fluffy, series. I’d relegated this title to the “ignore” bin when reading up on it sometime in June. Bokura Ga Ita, yet another show I didn’t have high hopes for - you can see how I didn’t expect much from the summer season at all.
