----------------------------------------
Not typically one to start topics, but wow that episode left me with a good feeling. Chances are this series is going to be pretty entertaining. Aria/azumanga-esque... sorta.

I guess it is what you'd expect from a slice of life anime, it has some funny parts. Definitely going to follow this show =) Comedy is kinda azumanga-ish as aisakku stated.

Anyway, sora is not much of a main character imo :<

Wasn't bad, I pretty much agree with what ZoiQ said .. it's exactly what you'd expect from an anime like this. Generic stuff. I, however, really like the animation style of it.. so I think I'm going to follow this one as well ;)
In any case, anime based on 4-koma are usually quite good too, for some reason. Story wise it seems to be Canvas'ish, minus the romance part .. or maybe we'll get some romance later on! We can always hope!

Main character is Aria-esque. I honestly have no problem with her.

Honestly I don't find it to be too generic. I'm one to avoid generic series. Some of the characters may be stereotypical, but overall it presents something decently unique.

Right, first sub is out. A funny but pretty good one I think.

Anyway, it was funny and cute, just what I expected from this one. I love the girl who drew the darkness and did the neko joke on the guy. xD

The teacher's funny as well and I really like the conversations, especially when they get fast ^^. Looking forward to more.

I thought the President Aria scene, as shown above, was the best part :)

Thought it was OK, but nothing outstanding. I like it enough to follow it though. And I'm not a Sora fan either, or Akari from Aria. Not....badass...enough? :D

Aye was thinking it was a cross between Aria and Azumanga Daioh as people have already mentioned.

Then I just had to lol when President Aria made an appearance on the bowling alley thing.

Seems wonderful so far.

I've never watched anything as slow paced as this, and I must say it is very refreshing. Surprisingly funny as well, but its sedative properties makes it my new anime drug.

That was kinda boring. Didn't laugh once as the humor was predictable and not very good, and the characters don't seem really interesting.

I'll give it another chance, but i'm probably gonna drop this one.

I really like this so far. The relaxed atmosphere is nice and I like the cast so far. (Sora is adorable, especially when she's happy!)

And the two girls who popped up a couple of times to give pointless commentary remind me of the shadow girls from Utena. Awesome.

Late in watching this but...that Aria scene made me lol so much =P

And I smiled when I saw Sora and the other two eat their udon by putting it on their spoon and then cramming it into their mouth in one go. I always do that with any kind of noodle soup :3

Its a slice-of-life show. The goal of slice-of-life genre is to relax you or make you realize something in your life that you never saw or not pay attention to. Sometimes, it even invokes deep thoughts and zen-like riddles

Best part of the show was the crossover with President Aria at the bowling alley

I just caught up on the manga and the show's style was a bit different than I imagined. The manga's brand of humor is often very close to Azumanga Daioh, and I expected a similar heavy emphasis on the comedy. Instead they've gone for a far more laid-back style (like some have mentioned, it's very Aria-like and the 'cameo' by President Aria was surely no coincidence) which is nice.

I did have some trouble with the voice acting though, after over 100 chapters I had developed such strong voices for each character it's weird hearing them talk in voices completely different from what I imagined.

Slice of life tends to be like this so I'll get used to this. The humor is more than I had thought though. Gotta continue caring that sketchbook~

So I feel like I've commented on this already but I'm (half) "re-watching" this ... I'd watched a couple episode on CR before but now I've finally downloaded it all XD
Anyway this is such a cute anime! Love the OP and ED - they're so peaceful and relaxing :) So Sora really loves cats huh ... interesting other characters too, but I didn't quite catch their names :P Ah, I wish I could join the art club ... but unfortunately my art skills aren't nearly as good as theirs are D:

You could tell this was one of HanaKana's earlier works. Kind of weird to say her cute voice sounded a bit flat. She has gone a looooong way haha.
