Like a lot of other shows I'm watching, I haven't said much about it, but I have been watching Kanamemo. It's been decent so far.

[donoghu]

LOL...

Except for the fact that this show isn't showing anything real about professionnal art design schools, it's still funny to watch. (By real, I don't mean about the 3rd rated content, but about the thing that the people are doing, the way classes are done, etc.)

But I do find some similarities in the content of the subject that were worked on, in the 1st episode, with my past experience in an art design class.

What I find even more funny is that, when I was going in that kind of school, I was looking EXACTLY like the guy that turn his head at around 19min30sec.

Some of you might not know, but, later in art design classes, when you start to do real project or training, USB HD devices start to get full real quickly. People who only works for some small web content might not know, but the work-on files for a flyer of 35 pages with 1 picture or more per pages might takes 175Mo-1Go if its done right for standard print quality. In a standard way, you're doing around 2-8 projects per weeks. After a month, your USB HD might get around 1.4Go-32Go of stuff. (I'm not even thinking about "sources" or if you're working on more than 1 result per project, which is something almost obvious.)

If you think that, today, you can find 1To USB HD for around 100-200$, think that your class might cost you around 400-800$ in materials for the first year. (And around 100-300$ for upcoming years of studies) You might need a laptop. In this field of studies, pirated programs are forbidden so there goes another bunch of money off you bank account. (If a student is found to be using a pirated program in a school, this school can be sued for letting the student do so. That's why there are some "student version" of some program which are offered for a lot less than the actual professionnal program.)

So money is an issus here. I, myself, had to work with rewritable DVDs since I could only have a 1Go USB Key. (back then, USB HD costed around 150$ for a 200Go and I couldn't effort it since I had ot buy a new more powerfull computer)

There are a LOT of factors which can make you unable to do some obvious thing.

But, about the way it's shown in the anime, the best way I can describe it is that it was simply some free-pratice so it was of no needs to save a backup of it.

(But, again, I find it unrealist and stupid that a school mix both middle-school, high-school and university students computers together. Ok for High-School and University, but I never have seen a middle-school which mix his material with high-school. In my own opinion, it's way too different worlds in how serious works on computer might be. When I was in middle-school, both "level" had their own computer rooms since, for exemple, middle-school had a lot of program about languages, maths, etc. while high-school had some specifics program for their field of studies.)

So, if ever I see other episode of this show, I REALLY need to turn my brain off or I'll end up complaining about it again, again and again.

Let me introduce you to one -- http://www.aoyama.ac.jp/en/.

comprehensive educational institute called Aoyama Gakuin, which includes kindergarten, elementary school, junior/senior high school, and women's junior college.

They're not *common* but they definitely exist in Japan .... if you might recall, another fictional campus like this is Negima's Mahora Academy -> K-12->graduate campus. And like any campus, resources get shared.

It is unusual, but not unknown particularly for magnet/focus schools.

[yezhanquan]

@Vexx: Sorry for the sidetrack, but I'm reasonably sure that in the past (maybe pre-WWII?), such systems were more common. I mean, to remain affilated with a school for one's whole schooling career sounds darn logical in the Japanese context.

[Midonin]

The ending credits for episode four go to Professor this time, which means that Namiko should take up the singing for next week.

They are, in fact, an *increasing* trend lately in Japan, what with the decreasing birth rate and the "aging" of the average age of the population. This is getting way off-topic, but I wonder how long this trend will go on before it reverses itself.

And now I shall go listen to Noda-chan's ED song for the 17th time.

[Tatiana Razajev]

I wonder if they plan to have a group version of the song. Even if they repeat the five individual versions, there are still at least two endings left. Assuming this is just 12 episodes.

Spoiler for Episode 4:

Black Poster Paint! Fun with cameras. I really wish I understood Japanese sometimes.

[Deathkillz]

Yea...series like this one is really hard to get without subs at times...

ep 4

Spoiler:

Lots and lots of funny moments as usual. But it seems like Noda is the one who is responsible for most of the humour in this episode, like pouring too much sauce and turning mr black paint into...mr black paint with arms

There are quite a lot of highlight for me from this episode as well



I feel a creepy vibe from this picture...



Haha, Noda is a cute model ^^'



More from sensei please!



More Cute Noda...



Trying to poison Namiko.



"Puhiii"



Kisaragi is so easily please



I won't drink that coffee if I were you.



First love? XD

[fict_ticious]

Haha, Noda is a cute model ^^'

Sorry, that cap just reminds me of the whole "yaranaika" thing.

Sweet Jun!

but it only works unless if you wear battle armour on it, yo
& i swear something looks really wrong with some of the guys potrayed in the Brave Heart movie too (*cough* too much Jun *cough*)

btw, is it just me again that i find Tomo-chan's tomboyish riff makes her look hawt!?

[Vexx]

Has anyone spotted any fansubbers doing this series in addition to Ayako?

[Deathkillz]

Nope, unfortunately. Only 1 episode subbed so far D:

[Vexx]

I'm not too worried. Ayako has always come through and finished their projects I've watched. They seem to specialize in the smaller niche offerings I like to watch. They just often take a bit longer to pop them out.
