Konbanwa, minna-san.
Originally, this post was about how until I finish a project I would be banning myself from reading manga, watching anime, and playing video games. Well, that was a rather brash and hasty decision on my part, so I've since dropped it. And I've gone back to change this post. But while the post may be different, I will still share with you a little about the title I will be reviewing next: GA Geijutsuka Art Design Class [manga] by Satoko Kiyuzuki (written on the book as "Kiyuduki").
It's a series based on the lives of five high school art students (most of the time; sometimes it focuses on another group at the school somehow sometimes related to the main five) and the daily happenings. Yes, it's much like Azumanga Daioh and Lucky*Star (and any other show that adopts this formula) but in this case, I would say that it works. It's similar, but definitely tries to stand out. And another thing: while there's a character in both Azumanga Daioh and GA that has "Tomo" in her name (not to mention with a similar kind of wild, brash personality), I just find that Tomokane (from GA) is a lot nicer than Tomo Takino (from Azumanga Daioh). Tomokane may be crazy and bursting at the seams with energy (and fight), but she definitely cares about her friends. Tomo... well, I really couldn't say with her. It just seems like she enjoys tormenting her friends.
Hopefully, I'll finally be able to get around to finishing the review for this. On the plus side, I recently learned that Crunchyroll is streaming the episodes of the GA anime, so, if you'll excuse the pun, "color" me thrilled. I'll have to do a review for that (though I'm sure with a few exceptions, it'll be remarkably similar :P).
Anyways, with all of that said,
Minna-san,
Sayounara!
