    • aaaaah the colours the animation aaah
    • very Nichijou like humour as expected
    • at 7:29 they employ one of my favorites: calligraphy/font annotated speech
    • the city overviews are wonderful, always like when anime zooms out
    • at 8:30 there is a split screen, I only know of Lucky Star having done that before (also Kyouani)
    • artist/editor interaction, reminds me of Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
    • at 10:31 the “armless form” appears, previously seen in Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh. Seen the greats but not popular broadly in anime?
    • the “action scenes” like the wine cork scene are very much like Nichijou (like the Yukko/Mio sausage scene)
    • the sections with small interludes betwixed, a la Nichijou. However the sections seem to smoothly connect to each other before going off into their own direction. This adds a lot of world building and making the location feel real and alive.
    • It is interesting to see how this fleshing out of the location continues. Another anime that takes place in a relatively small town and in which that location is quite important to whole is Aria, which does that very successfully.
    • Wako is a real wacko, god bless her soul
    • It’s EP 1 and we already have a broccoli scene. Truly Nichijou 2.0 in spirit.














  • Nichijou. The art is real good, the structure is interesting and it has some subtle moments that make it really shine. Many refer to the crazy moments and the comedy but it’s so much more in my opinion. In shared second place I have Lucky Star and Hidamari Sketch.

    As a note, deciding your favorite anime or ranking anime is quite difficult. I watched Nichijou years ago. Over time I watch more anime. I rate purely based on emotions, nothing objective. How I feel about it. But comparing that across years is very tricky.

    Also, discussion posts are more than welcome.














  • For me there really isn’t anything better in anime then moments like the one you describe in K-ON! I have that same picture up as the banner on !kon@lemmy.world. I think older anime do these tender moments better than the newer ones. For example Bocchi the Rock is quite forgettable to me, especially compared to K-ON! (I watched them back to back).

    If you are interested in this type of stuff, you might want to check out the genre “iyashikei” (free translation: “healing genre”). The border with iyashikei, slice of life and cgdct is often blurred, I argue that K-ON! is indeed at least partially an iyashikei anime. It’s a bit of spectrum, most SOL will include some iyashikei but some have a much stronger emphasis on it. Other titles that may be of interest are Non Non Biyori, Hidamari Sketch and ARIA.



  • If you mean the painting program window around it I would call it breaking the fourth wall. If you mean the drawing style in which the characters are drawn, I don’t know a single term for it but I guess we could describe some aspects of it. There is no line art so maybe “lineless”. There are not many values in terms of lighting so maybe “flat”. How the areas of colour are laid down reminds of painting, sometimes people call digital art that is done like a painting or looks like a painting “painterly”.





  • In principle a skirt suit is just a suit for women that has a skirt instead of trousers. They may be cut in a variety of ways like closely following the body to accentuate shape or have more of a drape cut. Of course, in anime they usually like to draw the girls in a certain attractive way.

    A variety of lapels exist, I just never saw one where the lapel is missing. I quickly searched skirt suit on images and saw an example of it. I guess as always women have much more choice in designs when it comes to clothes compared to men, and I was only aware of details in the male side of suiting.

    I indeed like a dress on Kou-chan, I really liked when Rin put her in a dress. Temporarily putting tomboys in dresses is a bit of anime guilty pleasure of mine, I have to admit.
