There is a better "raw" (I'm pretty sure it's upscale/fake) on share atm. Size matters not, and the sort |

Wow. It's really strange with this one. Because I dismissed Himamari Sketch when it first aired until today. But now with this well done prequel, I might go back and catch it all up. It IS Shaft and Shinbo, so maybe I shouldn't have been too quick about dissing it the first time around.

I had no idea the first episode was going to tell the story of Yuno's first day at Hidamari apartments. That was a lovely surprise. Does make me wonder if the show will carry on with this timeline, or do the same as the first series, and go out of order. Miyako is even more wonderful then before. I'm telling you i could watch a full 21 minutes of just her sat in a room, going about her daily routine. Spoiler for Episode 01:

I just finished watching ep1, wow it blew me away. I really liked the first series so I was anxiously awaiting this one. I know it's only 1 episode in but I'm already liking this more than the first series. Now I'm really looking forward to episode 2+.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. When I wasn't smiling, I was coming close to tearing up. Seeing Yuno's entrance exam, etc., and arrival at Hidamari was just amazing. What a cast. What a script. What art. What a Shinbo.
I just love the voice of Yuno's mom, Michiko Neya. She was Riza Hawkeye in FMA, Melissa Mao in FMP, and played Ninomiya-kun's tough sister in Goshūshō-sama Ninomiya-kun. I also felt as if there was something even better about this ep than what I remembered of the original. I checked, and see that Shinbo is listed as the only director or this series, whereas he appears to have been co-director of the OVA and just supervising director of the original series, which was directed by Kamitsubo Ryouki. Not sure if that actually made any difference, but it struck me, anyway. Also enjoyed marble's ED. Not so much the cast's OP.

Yep, and I daresay this is the most awesome episode of any show this week, kicking away that Macross Frontier shitfan-fest like a little critter.
Spoiler for for those waiting for better subs:
^Shinbo wins. And hits Zetsubou-sensei out of the ballpark! |

(In all seriousness, yes, I agree this is a very good thing. I hope the DVDs come with a special box like last time.) |
