Yuyushiki 1 - What is this, exactly? I guess it's another one of those "nothing" shows. It's not really a comedy, because it's rarely funny, but it's not much of anything else either. It's just a show about three girls, two of whom are brain-dead idiots and one who is tsundere, and their not particularly interesting day at school and mild yuribaiting. Yeah, it was pretty boring... I may keep watching, I'm not sure, but not exactly exciting stuff, that's for sure. There was no plot to speak of, not all that much yuribait (it had a few good moments, but that's it), not much comedy... boring. I didn't come into this with all that much in the way of expectations, but it probably didn't meet them, whatever they were. With no plot and two very annoyingly stupid characters as 2/3rds of the main cast, this show isn't that great.
Sparrow's Hotel 1 - This 3-minute anime looks like a poorly drawn series from 10-15 years ago, except it has none of the quality that made some ugly-looking shows from back then good (like, obviously, Kanon 2003. Yes, I still love that show.). This one? It's just bland. Bland, average, and not particularly interesting. But on the other hand, it wasn't too bad, and there were a few amusing moments, and it is only three minutes, so there's not much of a time expenditure. As for the show, it's about a super-strong woman who might be an assassin or ex-mercenary or something who works at an otherwise normal hotel. It's vaguely amusing gag humor stuff, like her picking up the whole matress instead of taking off the sheet. Was it actually good, though? No, it wasn't.
Aiura 1 - 4 minute slice-of-life anime about three girls. Yeah, I guess three girls is the new four? Yuyushiki is also about three girls. As for the show, this episode was quite bland and generic, but it probably was the best of the three in this post... that's not saying a whole lot, but at least it was moderately interesting, I guess. Still though, Aiura is a very generic and bland slice-of-life "comedy" series about a group of girls, and it's got nothing really to distinguish it from the others, so far, other than the 4-minute episode length. This episode was about the girl who looks younger than her age. It was alright.
Overall, I miss Puchimas... but wait, finally there's a new Here Comes the Black Witch episode! Well, as of like a week or two ago, but I hadn't noticed.
Here Comes the Black Witch 26 - In this episode Choco learns time-forward and time-reverse spells... and then messes up and accidentally sets off a loop. So yeah, it's Choco in Groundhog Few Minutes, pretty much. :) The results are entertaining as ever. This really is a good, funny little 5 minute show... for anyone who hasn't, consider watching it.
