| Hidamari Sketch... A Calm, Peaceful Anime about the Everyday lives of 4 art students who live in the same apartment... yet, Hidamari Sketch is Different from other animes... For some reason, after watching Hidamari Sketch, I feel as though it would be injustice to call this anime "just like those normal ones..." Cause It IS NOT!
Firstly, I Found the Animation done really Well... Well, it is expected since SHAFT is the producer, However, I Always found the Many Different Styles of Animation used in Hidamari Sketch Very Interesting, & the Variety Makes It a Wonderful Watch, and never too "same old same old"... Whether it's using real life pictures, or wacky/modern art styles, Even the Paintings Were REALLY AMAZING~! =O The Character Designs may seem a bit cute-sy, But they Work Well, & I liked their designs. =) The Animation was Done Really Well~!
& the Sounds? The OP Theme is a Fun, Light-hearted Song with a Catchy Beat. x) The ED theme is a Beautiful Song with a Sweet Melody... So Every Episode is Started off Happily & Energetically, and whether it ends happily or ends leaving you with thinking, the beautiful ED theme will sum up Every Episode in a Satisfying Way... x) The Seiyuus Did a Good Job. Once again, I Have No Complaints here. x)
well... The Story? Every Episode is Jumbled up, but each showcase one of the months in Yuno's first year in Yamabuki High School, & Unlike Suzumiya Haruhi's jumbling which may cause confusion, you won't mind the jumbled up episodes of Hidamari Sketch. What makes it Interesting too is that, some things that you see in the earlier episodes, the details would be explained in the later episodes anyway. Well, Basically, every episode features Comedy, Emotions, Thoughts & Reveals More & More Characteristics of Yuno and her Friends...
Without too many characters, Hidamari Sketch works Well for a short and sweet 12 episode anime, As each episode will Develop the main characters while showing the other supporting characters without ever leaving them out. x) & I dislike it when animes introduce a certain character and just dumps it after it has finished "using" it. -_- Also, Every Character in Hidamari Sketch are Eccentric & Different in Some way... Well, Okay, I'm sure we've seen these sort of characters somewhere before... There is Nice, naive Yuno. Energetic Miyako. "Cool" Sae. & Motherly but Weight-conscious Hiro. However, Hidamari Sketch have developed these characters to a such an extent that made their personalities Unique. They're not the same Characters as those you probably would have seen in other animes. The Interactions, Reactions & Bond between the 4 Tenants of the Hidamari Apartment Always Makes you Feel Warm, Comfortable & As though you're in a Home Sweet Home...
& Thus, whether this is or isn't the purpose of Hidmari Sketch, It has Definitely Achieved in being a Nice, Homely yet Different Anime... Not the Kind that would put you on the edge of your seat, not the kind that will make you excited for more or laugh like crazy or cry buckets, but a peaceful anime that will be ready to entertain you anytime you're ready. The Comedy that will Make you Laugh Out Loud, random fun little "adventures" that the gang has and Yuno's & her Friends' Personal Thoughts & Emotions, Every Episode of Hidamari Sketch is Interesting & Great to Watch... x)
I Really Enjoyed Hidamari Sketch, & I'll probably watch it again sometime in the future. Probably in the actual order though, just to see if it would make more sense. x)
But Well, somehow similar to the anime series, ARIA. If you're Expecting Something out of this anime, You won't get It. But if you can watch slow animes without being bored, and can just take Hidamari Sketch slowly, & enjoy every single moment of its slice-of-life fun and thoughts, you will then be able to appreciate this gem. x)
So I Hope I Don't see any Bad Hating Reviews/comments of Hidamari Sketch saying that It's Boring or etc. cause they were expecting it to be more "fun" or "exciting". >=(

| Sunshine Sketch is a 12 episode long anime which I have found to be the most charming and relaxing anime ever.
The style of Sunshine Sketch is very different from any other anime. It not only combines random real life scenes in a very minimalistic and delightful manner, but also has exaggerated scenes and designs in a hilarious yet cute and appealing way. Technically, Sunshine Sketch does not impress in the least. But, from an artistic perspective, Sunshine Sketch achieves excellence. I found it to be the simplest-looking anime I have ever seen, but at the same time one of the most alluring.
The opening theme might give viewers a hint that the anime is aimed at the younger audience, but the ending theme is simply heavenly. The ending theme of Sunshine Sketch, combined with the artistic credits scene is extremely peaceful and relaxing, and improves the mood I'm in almost every time.
Apart from the ending theme, a number of background music in Sunshine Sketch add similar tranquil effects throughout the anime. The voice actresses in Sunshine Sketch are also very well known and make the characters sound excellent.
Sound wise, Sunshine Sketch impresses almost all the time.
Initially, some viewers might find Sunshine Sketch to be boring, as the subjects addressed in the anime are neither exciting or ground breaking. However, everything in Sunshine Sketch is set out with such simplicity and contains a light humour that makes it a pleasure to watch. Development is rare if existent at all, but regardless, Sunshine Sketch manages to relax me every time, and I am sure it will do the same for many other viewers.
The cast in Sunshine Sketch is very consistent. Very few new characters are introduced, and the personalities of the cast does not change. However, through their actions, the cast in Sunshine Sketch manages to easily entertain the viewer and bring with them plenty of laughs throughout. Development does happen, but most of it is suggestive. The excellent voice acting also make the characters extremely fun to watch.
Sunshine Sketch is definitely one of my favourite anime so far, not because it breaks any records, but because it is so simple yet so much fun. Sunshine Sketch demonstrates how a simple ideas, when executed to perfection, can lead to amazing results. I for one will be craving for a second season, and I would strongly recommend this anime to everyone, especially those looking for something relaxing or charming.

| Hidamari Sketch is an enjoyable slice-of-life anime about four friends who attend an art school right across the street from their apartment. Featuring some of the strangest directing work (Shinbo Akiyuki: Pani Poni Dash, Negima!?, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) along with the usual SHAFT-style animation, you'll find comfort in these cute but strongly-bonded characters and their daily quirks and habits.
