Better than expected. Somewhat comparable to Hidamari Sketch, but the characters are more extreme and pacing/jokes are a lot faster.
Those pictograms were funny. Noda is great <3

More design theories compared to Hidamari Sketch ?

I think it's great.
Tomatsu and Sawashiro also did well here :D

Well not my favorite type of anime arts, but still going to see it thought. I have both season in Hidamari Sketch but yet don't have seen it.
The arts seem very similiar from Hidamari Sketch.

I have read the two volume of the manga and you will found out this is a very educational 4-koma that will discuss a lot about art. Perfect for people who like to learn more or enjoy art class.

At first, the starting have follow the manga closely and usually if you have read the book, then the upcoming comedy / humor will be very predictable, luckily at second half the writer have come up original comedy ( Man, I love the Pictogram part ) that crack me up very good.

However, I am pissed off by the OP storyboard, because they pick 3 story part of the manga and insert into the OP (the chicken pointing the direction was my fav' part in the manga), and it destroy my anxious waiting for that part of the story to come up in the future series...

But do watch it, as much as I have enjoy the manga, and the writer for the anime did great job coming up with new originality idea of humor for the first episode, I hope this series could be longer than 12 episodes.

It's ironic that I picked up the first manga volume yesterday and just found out about this anime today, will edit once I watch the first ep, but I really like the manga, so I should enjoy the anime as well

I can't stand that girl in glasses for the shallow reason that her glasses are way too low. Seriously, it kinda screws up the head-proportions though I'm probably overthinking it. ^^'

It had its funny moments but I personally feel the 4-Koma-ness too much. I don't think it will be on par with my beloved Sketchbook ~full color'S~ if it continues like this. ;)

Not bad, but not that good either. These short skits are not my style.

The colorranger part was funny though, and I like Miyabi and Noda.

I don't know why, but I started laughing when Noda said 'haa, it's a pudding !' in English :-------DDD♥♥ It was just so cute. I've such a cheap sense of humour :'D

This ep went so fast o.....o I guess I really enjoyed it + laughed a lot. Hopefully the rest of the episodes are as good ! :----D

and all three shows are about drawing, like hidamari sektch and ga now. maybe its easy to mix slice of life with girls and art.

I usually don't care for this sort of stuff, but I found GA highly amusing. I particularly like Tomokane myself for reasons I won't delve into. Anyways, its a nice getaway from watching all the serious stuff this season I'm watching.

4/5.

At least its not as weird (I blame SHAFT for that) as Hidamari (But still awesome).

Lucky Star meets Honey and Clover. I thoroughly enjoyed it, even if, like JLS, I'm not into these kinds of animes usually. So funny and entertaining that I already grew to like these 5 cute little characters !

I have to partially agree with you there, but I'm not quite as extreme and hateful as you ;P

All in all, it did have some good, funny moments, but I can't say those outweighed the more common boring parts. Still, I'm keeping with it a little longer to see if it grows on me or something.

While I felt it wasn't all that funny, I was smiling throughout the entire episode. I should try the Hidamari anime, but like the 4koma, I get the feeling it'll annoy me...

I don't get a Hidamari Sketch vibe from this at all, mainly because the characters aren't particularly moe-inducing. What I see is a much faster-paced, hyperactive Sketchbook ~full color's~.

In other words, I didn't care much for it. Some of the gags were pretty funny, but overall it was a chore to get through. I can see why the subbing took a while.

Plus girl needs to push those damn glasses up.

Ohh! this is what I planned to write! But, it seems to me that this is more an arts educational anime than a Slice of Life. Yea, some of the charecters seems like Sketchbook's, but without the depth.

Anyhow - I like the sympathy for Picto-San. That poor guy has got it rough.

Well, it was much better than I thought it would be.
Totally different from both Hidamari and Sketchbook, those two was more slice-of-life oriented with an occasional comedy while GA is a pure random comedy.

Lol~
God of randomness gave Tomokane an ashtray~
Though the art style doesn't stand out particularly, the jokes in the anime were original.
My only hope is that they don't have too much of same jokes over and over again.

It's like a faster paced Hidamari Sketch, though I spent most of my time wanting to push the damn glasses up that girl's nose!

Also, it might be just me, but Haruka Tomatsu totally had me fooled. I thought it was Mamiko Noto voicing that girl the whole episode.

Nice series, it made me remember some of the stupid mistakes I have done in art for the past few years, so the series is somewhat relevant to my interests. And I also got learned in a couple of things they mentioned, so I'll keep watching.

I hoped Tomokane was a guy :( Girlsgirls.. This feels so déjà vu. Wannabe.
I gave it 3 out of 5. A new Azumanga / Lucky Star / K-ON! series... Azumanga and K-ON! was really good :D
But somehow it feels like the same characters sometimes. Those guy-types and shy types with glasses and these calm girls that speak monotone. I think you know what I mean ;3
But maybe it will have fun moments :3 The music was good.

Wow, looks can be deceiving. I thought this was gonna be crap but I decided to give it a try anyway after reading some positive comments on blogs.

And I'm surprised that it's actually quite funny, I laughed at the power ranger parody. Glad I watched this, I hope the next episodes will be better or at least just as good without them repeating the same jokes of course.

Also I think I'm in love with Tomatsu Haruka's voice in this show. <3

I was a bit surprised too, it didn't seem like something very funny from the synopsis anyway (as with Sora no Manimani too xD)

Just her drawing style. There’s a more cynical version of Kisaragi in Hitsugi Katsugi no Kuro.
And it’s the same person who designed the characters in Yggdra Union.

Tradition perhaps… in the same way Japanese standing comedy should have a boke character and a tsukkomi character, it made the standard set to make the jokes :D

I thought this would be right up my street, but after the first episode I'm not so sure. It doesn't seem to bring anything new, except maybe for the hair colouring and those glasses are just going to piss me off after a while.

Aww, I really liked the first episode, so I'm sure the rest of the series will be very good. I even think this is way better than Lucky Star!
I thought it was funny and cute,and I liked the whole Pictogram talk. And my favourite character is Noda-chan~ she's adorable! <3

I just hope they sub more episodes soon...where's the sub of episode 2 and 3? T.T
