Music is above average and its simplistic nature really help the background tunes blend into the light artwork - they enhance each other. Apparently the only real production they did independently was Legend of the Galactic Heroes, a title that I’ve heard of and about but have never really gotten around to viewing. A typical quick search on ANN shed some light on them. Production seems to be ARTLAND, a company which I have not a clue about. When this happened, at what particular scene, what I was thinking at the time - I do not have answers to any of these sadly enough. All I know was that “He~y, that looks a lot like FLCL” popped into my mind when I was watching. Art also strangely reminds me of FLCL in some places and I have no idea why. The art style grabbed me on first sight and honestly, it isn’t what you expect to see after seeing the promo poster at all. I had originally planned to watch at least the first few minutes to gauge whether I should watch, or not, it. The watercolour effect present throughout the episode reminds me somewhat of Honey and Clover - which is a good thing! That’s also probably one of the main reasons I continued watching after the first few minutes. I’d say it manages to reinvent the wheel somewhat.Īrt style is simply gorgeous, I love the big expressive eyes and the child-like character designs.
It veers away from the many stereotypes and clichés that the comedy-romance genre has been accumulating over the years.
Like a lot of other shows I’ve watched this season, I was pleasantly surprised.īokura Ga Ita has all the makings of light, refreshing, and dare I say fluffy, series. I’d relegated this title to the “ignore” bin when reading up on it sometime in June. Bokura Ga Ita, yet another show I didn’t have high hopes for - you can see how I didn’t expect much from the summer season at all.
