(L+CR) Sketchbook ~full color's~

Didn't care for ep 5. It was more boring then even the LS food episodes

That's probably enough of a joke as it is, but it's a reference to I Am a Cat by Natsumi Souseki, the great author.

Yes, I thought about it, too. I remember there being a reference to it in the last episode of Ichigo Mashimaro as well.

Episode 6 had so many good moments. Seeing the start of Sora's art club adventures, a bit of focus on Kasugano-sensei (she's great), and the Greek Chorus. I was surprised that Sora and the others recognized them, since they seemed to exist "outside" the story this whole time. Seems they just never come to meetings.

Of course, can't forget the Frontline Battle Pillows(tm). They're Greek Chorus Wingnut Approved.




Can't wait for the next episode. I've wanted to see Kate in the show ever since I saw her on the site, and she's voiced by Yuko Goto at that. Her English surprised me - it sounded pretty good. Sora's too.

Spoiler for ep7:

The English in this episode was good enough to be amusing.

A full Kate episode with intermissions of her cat that also speaks English.

Kate only speaks English at first, but afterwards, she speaks in rather bad Japanese.
She's from Canada, though she spelled it with Japanese Kanji...

Her cat is Buchi/Butch...

She made fun of Natsumi's accent.

Spoiler:

Ah, so i see the preview for this episode was telling the truth, good to hear.

I can't wait to hear Sora's English.

[Kang Seung Jae]

Spoiler for Episode 7:

For this episode, the cats took the spotlight

Of course, we can't ignore the burning passion of Natsumi to help Kate.



Next Episode: A focus on Ryo and Fuu, and a new girl!

By the way, it's Fuu (as in Wind), not Hu.

Really? I actually thought it was one of the funnier/cuter ones. Well, that's personal taste for you.

The fat cat was a riot. Whenever I hear that seiyuu's voice I think of Alucard; hearing him voice a cat was just too much.

I'm totally loving this series. The feel-good slice-of-life shows appeal to me so strongly for some reason. I guess I just love the kind of show that never fails to brighten my mood, no matter what mood I'm in. The only problem with this one is that I can't remember the names of most of the characters, but that doesn't really matter.

Actually, d.sinclair reminds me of something I've always liked about (some) anime; that it simply makes me feel better about the world. I first noticed it with (of all things) Steel Angel Kurumi, that watching it just made me smile and feel like things can't possibly be all that bad. YKK always does that for me, AzuDai, Hidamari, some others, and now this one. Bad day at work? I watch an ep of Sketchbook and all that crap recedes into the background. Now, to go watch ep 6, finally. ^________^

[Okashii]

This has got to be most enjoyable anime for me this season, every week I look forward to watching this.

Episode 7 was

Spoiler for Episode 7:

-Sora is SO obsessed.
"Oh noes a black cat, I should take 3 steps back, but then I can't touch it."
"One touch, ok?...Two touch ok?...Three touch, ok?" and she totally didn't stop at three. xD
-Natsumi was so cute with her five dolls.
-Sensei is cruel! Eating that...in front of Pee-chan.
-Kate's cat's seiyuu sure speak English well.

Tuesday had became my favorite day.

Well at least they get their names in the credits. The poor club president is just "buchou". I didn't even think he had a name until this episode.

Can't wait for the next episode. I've wanted to see Kate in the show ever since I saw her on the site, and she's voiced by Yuko Goto at that. Her English surprised me - it sounded pretty good. Sora's too.

Gotouzosama
Wow. Is there any show she's not in? Hardest working woman in anime she is.

[Ultenth]

I love this show so much now, it's honestly the first show since Aria to give me that kind of calm smile. It has a very similar vibe, but with a little more quirkyness and curious nature. I wish there were more shows like this out there, they are so uplifting and cheerful.

[Deathkillz]

i have always wanted to know how it feels like to stay overnight at school...dont think i want to try now in fear of cockroaches

Ep 6 was fun. Although I think the cockroaches were more numerous b/c it's Fukuoka, in the south. In U.S. terms, it's like Florida or the gulf coast states. Houston, maybe. BIG-ass cockroaches. :P I've got a friend who likes to point out the "region-specific" things in Sketchbook. The dialect, the terms for things...it's fun.

[Guardian Enzo]

Another similarity to Kamichu - the underused younger brother character. I like Sora and her posse, but the mood around them is so relentlessly wistful and sedate that it's nice to have a change of pace once in a while. I liked the dynamic of the siblings, but we haven't seen a return since.

Episode 8:

Spoiler for Thoughts:

Interesting how praying to a player made it work...

Also, the girl with the camera comes out!

I loved the elevator movemetn Kuga did


Episode 9: Test Time!

[serenade_beta]

Spoiler for ep8:

Naoshi - imashi = fix - now death -_-

Quite a bit of the odd duo, Fuu and Ryou. They even have unknowns in their profiles.

Also, lots of Sora/Camera girl.

Just another peaceful Sketchbook-ish episode.

[Okashii]

Spoiler for ep8:

Comparing the differences between a photograph and a sketch in the most lovely way possible... ahh... I smiled and almost want to cry at the beauty of this episode ;_;
