Jd’s Thoughts

Hidamari Sketch isn’t an anime that has power levels, villains, or even racy scenes. Instead, it is a slice out of real life for one girl and her friends. With its realistic premise, everything is agonizingly slow-paced, the first episode taking over the span of just one drawn-out day. Nothing climatic happens. Although Hidamari Sketch tries to be comedic, the episode doesn’t go anywhere. It focuses exclusively on Yunocchi’s rush to finish homework with her supportive friends, and that’s it. The only feature of Hidamari Sketch that’s remotely interesting is how cute the characters look.

Summary

If you like glacial down-to-earth anime with cute characters, Hidamari Sketch might be worthwhile. All others will be bored out of their minds.
