User blog:Meta07/My Top 7 Animes

Just because I suddenly feel like it... :P Also, some words of cautions: So, here we go...!
 * I only like the most lighthearted kind of animes possible. That's it, moe, slice-of-life animes.
 * I hate violence, so most animes I watch and like either have no violence at all, or just very little or gag violence.
 * I'm absolutely scared of horror.

Moe Anime of Art


Hidamari Sketch is a moe anime about four students living in the same dormitory, and they are all specialized in Art. Being an anime about Art, it uses stylized art a lot, and whether it's a good or bad thing... depends. Also, I must admit I have only watched a few episodes of this one (out of its grand total of 50+ episodes :S) so I may not have a fair review.


 * What I like about it: Like any good moe anime, it has its fair share of cuteness, funny and heartwarming moments. Plus, the characters are believable, distinctive and good enough (save for Miyako who I think is just a bit Too Dumb to Live, but even she's not a bad character). Also, the stylized art and segments really add spice to it (especially in parts where the stylized art fits with the jokes/situation/etc.), though I must admit it doesn't always work.


 * What's so special about it: The amount of stylized art used and chibification. 'Nuff said. Also, there are a LOT of 3D shots in the anime, which is a very special thing indeed.


 * Pros:
 * Good characters
 * Fair share of heartwarming and funny moments
 * Stylized art (either love it or hate it)
 * Truly Awesome songs for OP and ED


 * Cons:
 * The 3D shots. I hate them.
 * Stylized art (I DID say "either love it or hate it", didn't I?)
 * Poor animation
 * The backgrounds are actually quite poor.
 * The amount of chibification and longfaces can get to disturbing measures sometimes. :S
