Amongst the surprisingly good start of the Spring Season of 2010, GA also comes along to remind why I consider this to be the single best 4-Koma adaptation out there. This episode was everything that made the series so much fun to watch, and I’m really glad that the creators managed to release one more episode of it.
On top of being such a damn good comedy (the characters in this episode were just downright adorable in their quirks, and yet these quirks aren’t overplayed and don’t take control over their entire stereotypes), this episode also breathed so much life into the high school that the story is set in! The second half of this episode in which we see Kisaragi look around for people were really inspired. With high schools being so incredibly overused in anime, this was one of the very few ones that made me a bit nostalgic to my days in high school.
A large part of this episode was also about costume design, and again it was very inspiring and informative, as we followed Kisaragi find her inspiration. That was also one of the great things about this series: the characters already know how to draw. Instead, this series is all about how to apply this art: making it as interesting as possible.
Rating: ** (Excellent)
Ohh more GA! I hope this gets subbed ASAP, really loved the series with its positive humor – instead of laughing at the idiocy of somebody, you are often laughing along with the characters.
