Amanchu! #01 — Girls in the Wind
July 8th, 2016
Trying is hard.
Impressions:
The exclamation point at the end of this show's title may be the biggest lie I've seen so far. There is nothing exciting at all about this. This falls more into the genre of "girls stand in the wind while we listen to Granola Bob's Earth Moods CD." And then there's the manic pixie girl who makes stupid faces, has no social etiquette, and is just the most greatest, wonderful, quasi-lesbian ever who opens our wallflower never-ending-self-narrating protagonist's eyes to the wonder of the world. Because friends. Or something.
So yeah, this belongs to that same utterly unambitious, over idealized bit of absolute dross where every single insipid moment of every day is a miracle of youth and life and friendship as Aria did (same creator), and especially that one since it might as well be called "Aria: The Highscool Years" by the way they couldn't come up with new designs for anything. Oh, but now they're under the water instead of in gondolas, and the hippo-cat's coloring is marginally different. If they don't try to have any comedy, drama, etc, then they can't fail. Except that leads to its own problems because if all it's going to provide is a somewhat soothing bit of white noise, as insubstantial as the clouds it keeps focusing on, then just get high and watch Window Media Player's visualizer while listening to Granola Bob's Sounds of the Forest.

Eh, I think I like the Futaba character a bit more than I should. For some reason, characters like her and Mako from Kill la Kill are somewhat… adorable, in there own intentionally annoying way.
And this whole play lesbianism thing writers do in girl anime can fuck right off with that. Either make something of it or don’t waste an entire season or series jerking it off to have it turn into nothing.
