Hidamari Sketch
Home/Change Series
In the last decade or so, it would be hard to argue that there's been a more consistently interesting and innovative director of anime than Akiyuki Shinbo. Especially recently, with shows like Bakemonogatari, Arakawa Under the Bridge, Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica, his visual inventiveness and sense of design are just amazing.
Hidamari Sketch is no exception. This gentle, understated slice-of-life show about 4 girls attending an arts High School is certainly minimalist and highly stylized as far as story and animation, but Shinbo and the individual episode directors somehow managed to keep it fascinating over all 3 seasons, while never losing sight of its original charm and sweetness.
