Episodes 1-3 – CITY The Animation

Nichijou-My Ordinary Life It is one of those quiet perfect media that always feels there. I was keenly aware that the anime premiered in 2011, but had timeless and instantly lovely qualities Nicohu It’s hard to imagine a world where you haven’t seen it, let alone a world that never existed. Use more mainstream examples to imagine a world before the worldNicohu Just like trying to imagine a world before it Citizen Kane,,,,, Rye’s Catcheror The Lion King. Intellectually, everyone knows that these works were released to the public at some point and that most of human history took place before these stories existed, but isn’t that wrong? Before these works existing, wasn’t it imagined that a world would immediately feel strange and strange?

I started this comment with this question because I can transform the physical reality into an open moment Kyoto AnimationThe latest anime adaptation Keiichi Arawicomics, Citystart playing on my TV. City animation So fascinating and totally in itself that it is hard for me to remember a world that never existed right now. Needless to say, City animation Have proven that I am a worthy successor Nicohuand on the way to becoming a better comedy work.

First, hundreds of detailed praise words: City animation It looks incredible and is different from anything else in the anime. The combination of simple artistic direction and bold, bright colors has few shadows or shadows, making each scene very vivid. Although it feels like a natural development in the direction of art Nicohu,,,,, City animationThe visuals evoke digital pop art; in any given shot and crisp lines, there are almost a ton of different colors to prevent any color from bleeding. The character design is also adorable in a young way, like a children’s book captures the people they see while running errands with their parents. Many of the little animals stuffed into the corner of the scene are a constant source of joy in the show. Whenever things about the White Cat Rabbit are zes in the corner of the camera or decide to have a conversation and passively participate, I can’t help pointing at the screen.

Although the description may become City animation It sounds busy, and these visuals greatly add to the humorous style of the anime. These designs give the characters an incredible expressiveness, and the familiar stylized background of locals makes people feel like these hijinks are happening where you might be stuck. Most jokes City In the era of improvisation in tone, in which case the dramatic characters react to surprising developments in ways that make a given situation even more eccentric. Some of my favorite sketches on my show so far include: a restaurateur and new employee, covering up the noodles into the client’s bag, a woman dealing with a few devils on her shoulders, next to a few devils next to the discovery of 500 yen, a policeman gets lost, a dramatic box, and a playwright convinces an animal (animals’ performance troupe), working with his latest project, and hoping to stand out from the city.

Even if a particular segment feels like it starts running for a long time or does not land completely, the last-minute twist always brings it home. Otherwise, the visual effect will be enough to make up for the weaker focus. There are no jokes in these three episodes Cityjust a better joke than others. Although comedy has as many selling points as this anime, it is the basic traits and heart that make these plots so special.

In the characters City Not only are there gags vehicles, but there are enough depth to make them relevant and give (usually exaggerated) movements and reactions feel motivated. By the first three episodes, the main trio of Midori Nagumo, Niikura and Wako Izumi all live together and have a fairly clear personality and relationship. When Nikkura was in high school, Nikkura attracted them to Nagumo because the latter was a skilled man who had succeeded in everything he tried. But, like many talented kids, her natural talent makes Nagumo a young adult, making her work hard to make money and full of confidence, she is always stuck in absurd situations. This makes Nikkura more mature and rooted, although she is still firmly stuck in Nagumo’s tracks and falls into these quirky situations. Meanwhile, Wako is obsessed with things she finds interesting and joins in, even exacerbating Nagumo and Nikkura’s pranks, knowing that both will give her new thrills and experiences.

These interesting and serious relationships are growing CityIn these three episodes of Running, each of the subsequent episodes is shown. although City It’s a comedy, and it’s willing to introduce some more frustrating topics in these relationships, too. For example, Matsuri and Ecchan’s middle school duo has the strongest “improve comedy team” energy of any character combination and is so synced that they feel like two characters share a brain cell. However, in episode two, we learn that Ecchan and her family will leave, and she doesn’t tell Matsuri about the development. This brought me a potential anxiety as I watched them bounce back against each other in episode 3, as I’ve been waiting for Ecchan to tell her friend she’ll leave soon. This ticket has never arrived.

These frustrating situations or real disappointments make the world a reality City animation Even if it is still more energetic and fun than real life, it feels more real. This little bit of darkness makes me feel like I can actually live on this show, which is a wonderful choice because I want to! Especially as an associate actor and Dubbing Bringing their game on. I know this is not a observation as she is one of the best voice actors currently working, but Erica Lindbeck Bring the right combination of confidence, naughty and clumsy to Nagumo; and the rest City The actors also understand their mission well.

These three episodes City Don’t just make me want to see more, they make me want to be part of this community and interact with these characters. I think this is the highest compliment I can give to any work of art. This means I will have to follow the show as a writer, City animation It seems to be getting better and better!
