• With photography as a subject (pun intended) the shot composition goes pretty hard as well.
• The opening has a little moment at the end where they hug that white thing. A similar moment can be found in one of the K-ON! openings (also Kyou-ani).
• This episode is also longer than 24 minutes. I thought that was just for the first episode. If it consistently runs for about 27 minutes, that would be pretty rare.
• It seems that this anime is going to be more continuous with some plot elements than Nichijou. With that I mean that even if there won’t be some kind of grand plot, the episodes do seem to build upon each other in a linear fashion instead of being mostly moments that are separate from eachother.

I’m sorry to say but it is indeed a pinafore dress. A pinafore dress is just a dress you wear over shirts or blouses. They are very prominent in slice of life anime but in real life, not so much (at least where I live). The Japanese took this from western culture just like the sailor seifuku and held on to them, but in the west itself these types of things are considered to be a bit old school, out of style. This might make them hard to find in shops.

If you can’t find a good one, maybe you can make one for yourself as a sewing project. I have seen people on youtube making them. I believe they are popular in the west with people who are into vintage styles.

Also according to Wikipedia it is called a “jumper” in American English so if you are in North America that term might yield better results for you.

As a man they are one of my favorite garments to see women in but the world around us has quite different tastes and sensibilities. It seems being either “hot” or “hip” is more of a focus in the west and wearing a shirt under a dress doesn’t really fit that. I’m sure that in Asian countries you would have a lot more choice in dresses and skirts and other more classic choices for woman, just like a lot more men in Japan still wear suits to work whereas in the west this is very rare.

Tamako market and love story do seem to be a bit underrated and not much attention is given to it online. I finished Tamako market and love story not long ago. It’s in the rotation now so once in a while I’ll post some Tamako art.

Shiori best girl?

• aaaaah the colours the animation aaah
• very Nichijou like humour as expected
• at 7:29 they employ one of my favorites: calligraphy/font annotated speech
• the city overviews are wonderful, always like when anime zooms out
• at 8:30 there is a split screen, I only know of Lucky Star having done that before (also Kyouani)
• artist/editor interaction, reminds me of Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
• at 10:31 the “armless form” appears, previously seen in Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh. Seen the greats but not popular broadly in anime?
• the “action scenes” like the wine cork scene are very much like Nichijou (like the Yukko/Mio sausage scene)
• the sections with small interludes betwixed, a la Nichijou. However the sections seem to smoothly connect to each other before going off into their own direction. This adds a lot of world building and making the location feel real and alive.
• It is interesting to see how this fleshing out of the location continues. Another anime that takes place in a relatively small town and in which that location is quite important to whole is Aria, which does that very successfully.
• Wako is a real wacko, god bless her soul
• It’s EP 1 and we already have a broccoli scene. Truly Nichijou 2.0 in spirit.

That OP has the be the most fire live seiyuu OP ever performed. Ending as well. Yuruyuri live is peak in general.

If only I had 5% of the energy she has.

Excited for City obviously. The Nichijou community is also the City community: !nichijou@lemmy.world.

Finished Binzume Yousei. It’s an old educational anime for children. I don’t think I learned anything new but the fairies were cute and the OP is kinda fire. It has one of my favorite oddly specific events: children learning about the cycle of life. It’s a wholesome anime, recommended for true moe enjoyers.

I had heard that name before, and for some reason I had categorised it in my head along with my hero academia and other popular shows I had no interest in. After looking it up because of this post I was rather wrong. Still no interest though.

Hito maji ooi wa. Aya yo :)

Oppai? Kinshiiiii!

Cute outfit, Namori sensei knows what’s good.

It’s a bit hard to see from the side. The shirt is probably a regular collared shirt.I think the brown thing is just a pinafore dress but with the back side coming up higher than usual and the part on the shoulder a bit wider than usual. Other than that, quite a common outfit for SOL anime characters.

Nichijou. The art is real good, the structure is interesting and it has some subtle moments that make it really shine. Many refer to the crazy moments and the comedy but it’s so much more in my opinion. In shared second place I have Lucky Star and Hidamari Sketch.

As a note, deciding your favorite anime or ranking anime is quite difficult. I watched Nichijou years ago. Over time I watch more anime. I rate purely based on emotions, nothing objective. How I feel about it. But comparing that across years is very tricky.

Also, discussion posts are more than welcome.

I don’t know many but I just finished Tamako love story and my heart is full. Definitely too sweet to be real, just how I like it.

I never thought about the construction of that under dress, but now that I see this it makes sense that the pleats don’t go all the way to the top.

In June the “Reddit exodus” happened and Lemmy saw a big influx of new users, that is why there are so many cake days in June.

I don’t really rewatch things because there is still so much more things to watch that I haven’t and there is limited time to watch anime. I have rewatched Non Non Biyori’s first episode a few times. The first minutes are really good and I really like the cherry blossom tree scene including the build up to it. I don’t have a dedicated time in the year to watch it though.
