Nogizaka Haruka Himitsu - 03, Hidamari Sketch x365 - 04

* Nogizaka Haruka Himitsu - 03
another good episode. despite the inevitable increase of fanservice, the character Nogizaka Haruka seems to become more and more realistic for me. or maybe this anime has subliminal messaging, the one that says "everything is going to be alright, enjoy your ride". it must be combination of Nogizaka family's wealth, the good atmosphere of her folks, and that the main character is actually not an asshole or oblivious despite this is a harem. also the awesome ending scene. (what's with the meido aerobics ?!)

as for the anime itself, it still maintain its technical QUALITIES. it's definitely better than Penguin Musume, as far as "rich otaku girl" is the context-- the animators put details and balance of colors in a lot of things. the VA actually did a good job bringing the characters to life, especially (of course) Nogizaka Haruka. or probably that's because Nogizaka Haruka bear striking resemblance to Asahina Mikuru. heck, it's even a totally different class than Hayate no Gotoku. i can ramble on and on about this difference in power. *shounen mode ON*

i shed manly tears for Ayase Yuuto. sasuga omae.

* Hidamari Sketch x365 - 04
another LOL episode. in fact, this is an especially LULCATZ episode, in literal sense. Miyako took a cat home --or rather, a cat suddenly appeared in Miyako's place-- and the Hidamari folks can't left the cat alone. as typical of anime that take place in heavily urbanized area, pets are prohibited. i finally understand why Miyako's sign is a paw trail-- that's what you call "birds of similar feathers flock together".

in the second half of the animu, finally the scene that we have waited for so long finally took place. which scene ? well, a certain scene in the opening of the first season, where Sae is... ahh, i'm so going to heaven to watch that. fuck subtlety, throw yuri at them. ^___^

my only complain about Hidamari Sketch is that its story is tightly integrated. i have to recall which is which and who is who from the first season to be able to figure out what's going on in Hidamari Sketch timeline. BUT THEN, those who do watch animu from SHAFT are intense scrutinizer. combine that with the OMG HARUHI RANDOM way the manga is put into episodes.

btw, am i the only person who use "hidamari sketch three-sixty" (as in XBAX) to refer to this animu ? O_o;;

btw again, i mention "Nogizaka's wealth" first in the likable factors of the anime... crap, does that mean i'm a material person ? O_o;;
