3mins really isn't
enough to enjoy a series -_-
The obvious problem
about 3min-series is their lack of time to give their viewers the entertainment
they are looking for. Right after the main characters made their exciting
statement, I was actually waiting for the OP song followed by the first half of
the show since the airing time of these series felt more like an intro for a
20min series~
Now let me start
with Yama no Susume(:
I'm personally not
the biggest fan of girls-having-the-time-of-their-lives type of series because
they are just… not so interesting. The moment this series opened, it does have
that Tamayura-like feel to it although not
really as beautiful. BUT complaining about something like that isn't the nicest
thing to do right now since we'll see the beautiful views later on.
This series
definitely screams moe characters bonding together and no… I'm not excited
about that. Since our main character Aoi Yukimura (Iguchi Yuka) is not good at interacting with people, this series will definitely tackle the enjoyment of having
friends and such. Add to that her fear of heights which will give the story's
element of over coming one's fear or such.
With 3mins in 13
episodes, I doubt that we'll have something inspirational in here. What I'm
personally expecting from this series is some girls having fun and some scenery
porn soon enough (next episode perhaps?). I haven't really seen much series by
8bit other IS: Infinite Stratos so I guess I'll just
be holding on to some hope that the scenes will look great 'cause the animation
is somehow crappy -_-
Now for the other
3min series, Mangirl! seems more like a
series I can enjoy.
The OP scene of this
episode was pretty fun. Similar to Bakuman.,
Mangirl! gives its own does of manga
knowhow in a really fun way. The startup of their manga magazine is definitely
fun and I was really disappointed at how short it is! \(>A<)/
Similar to Yama no Susume, Mangirl!
will definitely be about girls having fun. Also seeing Yuri Yuri being one of the series done by Mangirl!'s production company, Dogakobo, I personally think that
they know what they are doing (not that I've seen Yuri Yuri because I haven't).
On another note, I'm
pretty excited to see how a manga magazine is brought up. This OP episode was
definitely pretty interesting on that terms seeing how these four know-nothing
on manga magazine has went on about it in here.
